Gensoukyou:Suika Ibuki

Background
From the beginning of their existence, Oni were powerful gods charged with various tasks on Earth by the Celestial Bureaucracy. They brought disease and disaster to human kind and eventually became legends. People heard of these and came to fear Oni. Because of this, the Oni became like Youkai. In addition, many of them refused to recognize the authority of the Celestial Bureaucracy, preferring to drink and feast instead. This led to their demotion as gods, and they became true Youkai.

Suika was an Oni god that became like a Youkai, although, she didn't mind the tasks given to her by the Bureaucracy and continued to carry them out as usual, despite the demotion of Oni. There were a few other such Oni, others that stood out from the rest of the Oni race. These would later become the Four Deva of the Mountain. Even though they were no longer gods, they still followed orders from their former superiors. Because of this, combined with their general superiority over the rest of the Oni, they were tasked by the Bureaucracy to serve as leaders for the Oni race. These Deva, or Generals, led the Oni for a great many years. Their usual job was simple: They would be given a target, usually one that had managed to live far longer than they should have, sometimes Hermits. These were to be terminated. And, as such powerful beings, they were quite capable.

After a time, a select group of Hermits came to the attention of those in Heaven. These "8 Immortals" were a threat and were to be terminated. One of the Deva, the youngest member, was tasked with killing one of them but was unsuccessful. The Celestial Bureaucracy does not accept failure, however. This Deva in particular was declared dead to them, and was thus exiled. However, Suika, as the leader of the Deva, refused to strip the young Oni of her title. She simply shrugged instead, casually telling the other Oni what she was to do. "If that's all the strength you can muster, then you gotta train harder, 'kay? The next time I see you, I wanna see improvement." With that, she left the other to her own devices. Over the years, she would help the exile out, pointing out flaws or giving advice.

The Oni have had an odd relationship with Humans since they gained a more Youkai-like form. The Oni loved to play games with the Humans instead of killing them off as they had done as gods. They would have feats of strength and drinking games with the Humans who, of course, could not compete with the powerful Oni. When a Human lost one of these games, the Oni would kidnap them. Nothing bad would happen to them, really. it was more of a forced friendship; it was considered the greatest form of friendship between Humans and Oni. At least, in the eyes of the Oni themselves. Humans on the other hand, were rather terrified of the Oni in general. Since the Humans could not beat the Oni honestly, they began to resort to sneaky tricks in order to win-- which very much displeased the Oni. Suika, however, never really felt the need to have such a friendship with Humans. Not that she didn't like them, but she was content with merely carrying on as she always had, regardless of what the Humans thought.

However, the rest of the Oni were outraged at such dishonesty. Over the years, they gradually relocated to an ancient underground city, swearing off humans entirely. The amounts of Oni leaving drastically increased after the creation of the Hakurei Border. Very soon, nearly all of the Oni were gone from the surface. Suika, however, did not really care what the Humans did, and quickly grew tired of the underground. With that, she returned to the surface, a little less than 200 years later. She had a great deal of fun playing on the surface and wanted to gather the rest of the Oni for a massive feast. With that goal in mind, she began gathering all the residents of Gensoukyou in order to have a massive feast so great that not even the Oni could resist returning to the surface in order to partake. However, before her plan could come to fruition, The Hakurei Shrine Maiden defeated Suika, who begrudgingly submitted, recognizing Reimu's superiority over her. She was quite impressed with the Shrine Maiden's straight forward and honest way of handling things. She began to hang around the girl, whether she liked it or not. Thus Suika came to live at Hakurei Shrine, doing chores and other various things for her to earn her keep.

Some more time passed before the events of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody came to pass, where Suika punished Tenshi for being a nuisance, and in the process, gained land from Heaven.

Suika determined that she much preferred the surface to the Ancient City. As such, she wasn't going back.

Personality
The first thing one might notice about Suika is that she looks to be somewhere from the age of 12-14, and for a Youkai that has existed well over 3000 years, this is very odd. Accompanying her appearance is a fitting personality set where she acts rather childish. This can mean she calls people strange things instead of their actual name, see: Birdie [Utsuho] Shop lady [Rosette]. It would be only people she knows as a little more than just an acquaintance that she calls by name. However, as a counter part to the childish personality set, she also has a critical, witty side, too. She shows this usually when dealing with more serious matters, or when dealing with people she finds rather unsavory. Sometimes even switching between the two sets haphazardly.

Now then, as an Oni, Suika drinks a ridiculous amount of sake each day, keeping her in a constant, intoxicated state; she is almost constantly swaying humorously to and fro, eyes half lidded, sometimes an occasional slur of speech. Her normal movements seem very clumsy, but this can, and often does, change in an instant to an attack or movement worthy of her age. Oddly enough to most people, this seems to have aboslutely no effect of her wits, still managing to keep up in bouts with Youkai far older than herself, see: Yukari, Tiandao. She rather likes the presence of these so-called Youkai Sages--even if their "back alley" methods get on her nerves from time to time. That said, she does appreciate people with a straightforward methodology and reliable honesty. She tends to seek these people out and spend time around them when she can, see: Reimu Hakurei.

To Suika, there is nothing better than drinking sake with somebody; she will often go out of her way to try to get somebody to have a drink with her--though the sake from the Ibuki gourd is quite potent, leaving most unable to keep up with her in terms of alcohol consumption. She often uses sake as a sort of peace offering to people who may be hostile, figuring that they'll loosen up a bit and 'stop taking everything so seriously'. She can be rather whimsical at times, though she is usually kept in check by the Hakurei shrine maiden via Oni promises. It's not really too difficult to get her to make these, she sees them as a sort of game, trying to find ways around her promise (Which she cannot break due to an Oni's sense of honesty). This is also a reason for other Oni not liking her much.

Overall, Suika is a very laidback, casual person, much preferring drinking to conflict. However, she won't hesitate to point out any percieved flaws she may see in another individual; usually cowardice,dishonesty, or some form of unfairness. She is pretty friendly, even among those that are openly hostile towards her, so the threat of being attacked by her is pretty low. However, she will defend herself if necessary, so it's not a good idea to antagonize her too much.

Power/Combat
Manipulation of Density and Sparsity: Suika's signature ability allows her to control the density of particles in all things. For example: Suika can use this power on herself to become virtually unmovable by condensing and reinforcing her own particles. Or, she could do the opposite, using her power to spread herself into a mist, becoming all but impervious to attacks. Sometimes there are secondary effects to using this power. By increasing the density of something enough, she could create gravity distortions and singularities. This ability is rather conceptual as she can also increase the density of things which do not have any mass, effectively "gathering" it. She can use this power to gather the heat from a surrounding area, she can do the same with kinetic energy, and so on. She can use this power to sway the minds of people, making them gather into a certain place. She can also disperse things. Nearly anything, in fact. This includes the dispersal of the bodies of other people, attacks, what have you.

Oni Arts: There are a great many number of skills called "Oni Arts". These are effectively any kind of special magic known by the user that was originally created by the Oni. The list things that Oni Arts include is vast, ranging from sealing arts to a sort of cloning technique.

-Ignis Fatuus: The conjuring of blue-white flame that seeks the enemy and cannot be extinguished by normal means.

-Manipulation of Subterranean Features: She can manipulate earth and stone that is underground, sometimes having boulders become crystal lances that shoot up from beneath the opponent, making the ground itself collapse, etc.

-Cloning: The user can use a strand of hair to make copies of herself. They are weaker than the original, each having a fraction of her power.

-Manipulation of Earth Spirits: By punching the ground, the user can awaken nearby earth spirits, then instruct them to do something.

-Magical Sealing: Using a medium of some kind, the user is able to temporarily seal away the magic of another. There is another form of this that deals in sealing away stamina as well.

Oni's Iron Skin: An Oni's skin is incredibly durable. Most blades and attacks would deal no damage against them without a significant amount of force behind it.

Oni Strength: Oni are probably the most physically powerful beings in Gensoukyou. Suika could lift and throw Youkai Mountain by herself, for example. This ability is pretty plain despite that fact.

Size Manipulation: Suika is able to change her own size at will, although, the form she usually takes is not her true form. In all actuality, Suika is quite massive, bigger than some of the smaller mountains in Gensoukyou, and could become even larger than that if she so chose. She tends to be rather difficult to deal with like this just due to her sheer size.

Artifacts/Possessions
-Ibuki Gourd: A treasure of the oni that is able to produce infinite amounts of high quality sake. She always has it on her person and drinks from it constantly. Due to the fact that its supplies are endless, Suika doesn't mind sharing. Aside from that, it is incredibly durable and heavy, making it useful for smacking people around in a 'play' fight. As with her other possessions, this is chained to her waist so that she doesn't lose it.

-The First Treasure: This nameless artifact, referred to only as 'The First Treasure', appears as a sphere chained to Suika's waist. Aside from being made of a material that is hard for even oni to break, it is nearly unstoppable once it has gotten a good amount of momentum going. Once it has been properly evoked, it looks somewhat similar to a wrecking ball.

-The Second Treasure: Another nameless artifact, The Second Treasure takes the shape of a pyramid chained to Suika's waist. When evoked, it takes the form of a kanabo club. This club is incredibly good at manipulating earth spirits, drawing them from the ground and commanding them according to the user's wishes. The most common use for this is to have the spirits bunch around someone, weighing them down and immobilizing them, making them the perfect target for a strike from the club itself.

-The Third Treasure: The final nameless artifact in Suika's possession, and probably the most fearsome, that takes the shape of a cube chained to Suika's waist. When evoked, it opens a supernatural gate, from which flows forth a parade of assorted youkai that have been captured within. These youkai are directed by the wielder and come in varying strengths and abilities. This power, resembling the night parade scroll, is the inspiration for Suika's title.

Spellcards
Gather Sign "Throwing Mt. Togakushi" Using her manipulation of density, Suika gathers a large amount of boulders or anything else that may be around, forming a large conglomeration of heavy objects which Suika then throws at the target. This spell card is usable with danmaku as well, simply throwing forth a large, fast moving, burst of danmaku that is hard to avoid if you aren't already moving.

Mist Sign "Gathering and Dissipating" Suika takes a deep breath before forcefully exhaling a special, thick mist that is capable of absorbing danmaku and other attacks. This card is mostly defensive, but the force from Suika expelling the mist is generally enough to throw back nearby opponents.

Will 'o Wisp "Super-Dense Conflagration" Suika gathers up magma and heat from underground towards the surface before pounding the ground, throwing the magma around in thick, dense globules that bounce around on the ground, continually slitting into more and more globules of magma before finally cooling off and becoming rock.

Gathering Oni "Throwing Atlas" A similar card to "Throwing Mt. Togakushi", except this time, Suika grabs hold of her opponent before leaping into the air. Once there, she drastically increases the density of who she is holding, making them a living gravity distortion. Nearby objects fly towards the target, pummeling them while still in Suika's grasp before she tosses them to the ground in a rough manner.

Oni Sign "Massacre on Mt. Ooe" A terrifyingly brutal physical attack. Grabbing hold of her target, she repeatedly slams them into the ground after gathering a bit of kinetic energy, causing the poor fool who gets caught to be surrounded in explosions of energy on top of getting smashed into the ground over and over.

Drunk Sign "Art of Oni Binding"/ Drunk Dream "Art of Gaki Binding" Through a powerful medium, usually one of her nameless artifacts, Suika ensnares the target before using an oni art to seal away the target's magical power, physical stamina, or both. If it connects properly, it also leaves the opponent open to an attack for a moment or so.

Oni Sign "Missing Power"/ Great Oni "Missing Purple Power" Suika releases the size seal she keeps on herself that hides her true form, causing her grow to massive sizes, potentially bigger than some mountains. Like this, she is nearly impossible to damage thanks to her sheer size.

"Pandemonium" Suika makes herself into a walking gravity distortion, pulling in anyone nearby. At the same time, waves and waves of colorful danmaku resembling the night parade scroll's raging legions. The bullets aren't particularly fast, but there are a lot of them and they are extremely dense. This combined with the gravity distortion pulling you towards the source makes this a dangerous card indeed.

"Deep Mist Labyrinth" Spreading herself into mist, Suika drifts around the battle field, spraying out lingering blue danmaku. The danmaku don't move much at all, but Suika begins to pressure the target, chasing them around the field (and possibly into the pre laid danmaku) until the end of the card. If Suika catches you, she'll make the mist extremely dense around the target, crushing and immobilizing them while releasing that blue danmaku directly into them.

Oni Sign "Large Speck in the Needle Hell" Using an Oni art, Suika uses a strand of her hair to create miniature clones of her self that move about the area, concentrating fire on the opponent. There can be quite a lot of these clones, each one having a fraction of the original's strength. Given Suika's immense strength, even a small fraction is probably enough to overwhelm most opponents, especially given how many of them there are.

Hell "Sigh of Purgatory" Suika takes a deep breath before letting out a disappointed sounding sigh, releasing a blazing inferno of blue flames in all directions. The flames cannot be put out by conventional means. Amazing how something as simple as a sigh can be taken to such extremes.

Major
Reimu Hakurei- She is quite fond of the Shrine Maiden, and can often be found there, helping with chores or occasionally drinking with Reimu.

Yukari Yakumo- Suika has known the gap Youkai since before the oni went underground and considers her a close friend. Although, Yukari's underhandedness does get on Suika's nerves from time to time, she never lets it escalate. The two like having non-lethal duels quite often, but haven't had one in a while.

Yuugi Hoshiguma- Another of Suika's close friends, and a fellow Deva. Since Yuugi lives underground, Suika hasnt gotten to see her in person for a long while.

Kasen Ibara- The youngest of the Deva. Suika sometimes offers advice or criticism to the young Oni. They have a sort of Mentor-student relationship. Other than that, they could be considered co-workers.

Minor
Azami Zatsusei- A Weed Youkai that had tried to eat Suika not too long ago. She found it rather amusing and even befriended it, they sometimes drink sake together.

Tenshi Hinanawi- She views Tenshi as an unruly child that needs to be disciplined...which is mostly true. She tries to keep Tenshi out of trouble and scolds her on occasion.

Trivia
-Suika may be drunk most of the time, but she is still able to mentally keep up with everyone else.

-The Ibuki Gourd is capable of refilling itself with only a few drops of water.

-An Oni's 'Iron Skin' makes melee combat against them a poor choice. Well, worse than it already is when even a playful punch from an Oni would probably kill a human.
