Other Characters: None
IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Fujiwara no Mokou
Age: Over 1400 years old
Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Point: Post Silent Sinner in Blue
Species: Human (albeit an immortal one)
Gender: Female both physically and mentally.
Orientation: Touhou doesn't really explore relationships with it's characters but I'm going to play Mokou as a lesbian due to her emotional attachment to Kaguya along with the fact that the only person she is close to, despite keeping most other people at a distance, is Keine.
History: Wiki link.
Appearance: Behold the splendor that is ZUN's artstyle.
Mokou's eyes are red and her long hair is silver/violet . She wears red overalls covered in flame protection talismans to prevent her clothes from catching fire mid battle, and these same charms are used to tie her hair. She even appears to have one on each shoe! Her shirt appears burnt and discolored since it doesn't have any charms to speak of.
Personality: At her core Mokou has a very dubious personality, something that even the creator of the series himself has said. She is the kind of person who, when pissed off enough, wont hesitate to attack with little regard for the safety of herself or others around her, and if the person she's attacking is her arch nemesis Kaguya then any chance of the encounter not ending in someone dying has basically gone up in smoke. No pun intended. She is a nice person at heart, though, and this violent aggressive side only exists because of the past events in her life over which she had little control. The way she was treated after gaining immortality - feared and hated by humans - lead her to go into hiding and eventually on a rampage where she destroyed anything she came across for hundreds of years. It was nine hundred years before she found her way into Gensokyo where humans didn't fear immortals and she could finally start to make her way back into their society somewhat, so it's only to be expected that some part of her aggressive side still lingers. She does keep it for people who she feels deserve aggression sent their way, though. She shows her kinder side when she helps lost humans out of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, though. She knows her way around the forest, and is friendly with the fairies who live there, so she doesn't get lost and uses this to guide people back to safety free of charge. During these trips she listens to their stories about their lives but doesn't freely share her own stories, probably because of the hesitation she feels when it comes to getting close to others. To continue her dubious personality, though, she has a habit of swapping between being friendly and threatening to a person in a few seconds flat.
Being an immortal like she is Mokou finds it difficult to get close to people, since she'll exist forever while even the oldest and strongest youkai (even the ones who are older than her) will waste away eventually. She knows this is the case and doesn't think anyone else can truly understand how she feels, but it's not like she doesn't let people get close to her at all. She's friends with Keine Kamishirasawa who Mokou says is only of the only people to truly understand her, and she has a bitter rivalry with fellow immortal Kaguya Houraisan who Mokou also feels is another person who can understand her completely even if the two of them fight and kill one another constantly. She is also shown being on somewhat friendly terms with Kaguya's friends, so she doesn't hate them for their loyalty to their princess. Perhaps she's friendly with them because she feels they can understand Kaguya's immortal life, but this is never explained.
Speaking of Kaguya; Mokou's hatred of Kaguya is something that consumes her very existence. It's the reason she first killed a man and stole the immortality elixir that gave her the gift of eternal life. She claims to hate Kaguya with all of her heart, and admits to stealing the elixir to spite her, but after nine hundred years of stumbling around on her own she had grown tired of existing without a purpose. Eventually finding Kaguya in Gensokyo was something that Mokou thought of as a magnificent paradise, since her arch rival was stuck in the same horrific fate she was. They could continue killing eachother as long as they wanted and that made Mokou extremely happy since she finally had a purpose again. However during the events of 'Cage in Lunatic Runagate' we see Mokou's reaction to the possibility of Kaguya returning to the moon for good. She panics, terrified at the possibility of Kaguya leaving her all alone again, and runs all the way to Kaguya's home, peeking in the window to make sure that her rival is still going to stay in Gensokyo. This scene lets us see that Mokou is quite confused about her feelings concerning Kaguya in general, especially when she reminds herself that Kaguya has no need to explain to her if she decides to go back to the moon. Basically Mokou isn't good with emotions, especially not after her first nine hundred years of immortality being less than desirable.
Following up from personality traits gained from her immortality; Mokou takes really, really bad care of herself. She has self destructive tendencies thanks largely in part to the fact that she doesn't have to worry about taking care of her body in the slightest. If she doesn't eat she'll starve to death, if she doesn't wrap up in winter she'll freeze to death in her sleep and if she eats poisonous mushrooms then she'll certainly die, but these things don't matter because she'll come back to life seconds later. The only thing that will happen is that she'll feel the pain of death, and that'll just make her stronger in the long run, or so she seems to believe.
If her dress sense wasn't enough of a clue - and she's one of the only Touhou characters who doesn't wear a skirt or a dress - and her harsh, crude word choice didn't make it obvious then Mokou is quite the tomboy. She was also the unwanted child of an aristocrat and wasn't allowed to go out in public because of this. Perhaps this was also something that added to her less than stellar people skills?
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Mokou does not like being immortal. She views it as a curse rather than a gift or a blessing and thinks deeply about whether or not she's truly alive anymore if she doesn't need to take care of her body's needs. She doesn't really let this dark thought process show on the outside, though, but doesn't mind talking about it when dealing with someone who understands her.
Abilites: Mokou's most important ability is her immortality gained from drinking the Hourai Elixir. Thanks to this ability she cannot die, cannot age and cannot get ill. It also prevents her from entering Hakugyokurou - the netherworld - because to do so one must be 'dead' and that's impossible for her.
Thanks to the Hourai Elixir her wounds regenerate quickly with larger wounds taking days to heal. She can, however, still feel pain and cannot keep fighting once the pain has become too great to deal with. This is how she is defeated by the heroine during the events of Imperishable Night.
She also has the ability to create fire, increase and manipulate it but is implied to lack the ability to dissipate the flames she summons. Since her powers came from training it seems likely that she felt she didn't need to 'turn off' the fire given her immortality. In addition to controlling fire she is also resistant to the damage caused by them, which is pretty lucky for her.
While not as exciting as fire manipulation or immortality she is apparently a pretty good cook and fisher, although she ends up cooking poisonous mushrooms by mistake. Woops!
Like most Touhou characters she can fly and shoot bullets in various patterns around to attack others with. These duels are usually non lethal but Mokou is one of the only characters in the series who actually dies mid fight and re-spawns, so there is the potential for fatal force. During Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth (one of the manga adaption spinoffs) Mokou takes a bullet to the face at close range for training purposes and comments on how it could indeed kill her.
Other: It's never confirmed in canon or not, but I'll be playing Mokou as if she is a smoker.
SAMPLES
First Person: One meme thread.
A second meme thread, just in case.
Third Person:
Mokou's stomach growled in protest at the ex-immortal's current actions, sending her a clear sign of it's disapproval. She had been in bed for who knew how many days now and she really didn't feel like leaving her room anytime soon. She had always figured that her immortality was there to stay. That it was permanent, eternal, unending just like she was supposed to be, but that turned out to be a massive load of bullshit. That was why she was lying in bed and had no notion to leave. It wasn't so much distress or sadness that had made her like this - heavens no - it was pure anger at the fact that she could do nothing while something so important to her had been taken.
Not only had her immortality been taken, and she had been returned to her rightful place as a normal living, dying, human girl but her chance at revenge, her purpose and reason for existing had been ripped away from her aswell. She had searched high and she had searched low but Houraisan Kaguya was nowhere to be found in this new place and that thought was the final straw that caused Mokou to turn from a walking, stamping, rampaging force of nature into a empty husk of a being.
After she had made that emotional jump she had slumped onto the floor of her new house - moving to her bed at some point - and had lay there until this very second when her hunger could take no more. She had starved to death before, and that would be quite a while away, but that was when she was still immortal. No, right now she little choice but to sit up and stamp towards the kitchen in search of food.
She stopped in the doorway, staring blearily at the first person to make eye contact with her, and opened her mouth slowly.
"Mornin'" She muttered, her words low and quiet in the typical fashion of someone who had just woken up "We got anythin' good to eat? Meat or some shit? Something filling? I'm literally starving to death."
