Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

This introduction paragraph is only going to be here once, this is mostly going to explain the way everything is going to work and stuff since once you see this you'll understand the way the other pages will work. For example I will have an introductionary paragraph for all of these but it won't be like this one but like the next one. Like I said since this is the first page you'll likely see I'm going to show how everything work the definitions of things and all of that. This page would most likely be longer than the other ones due to the amount of terms I will have to be explaining. Now! on to the next paragraph wahoo! ALSO GET USED TO THE GIFS I KNOW THEY'RE AN EYESORE AND ABSOLUTELY RUIN EVERYTHING. BUT I WILL NOT CHANGE IT AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Plot

Well according to the records, Gensokyo seemed to be fine and dandy. That is until the mysterious Scarlet Devil Mansion arrived. It's residents were quite a mystery and the western architecture stood out amongst the more feudal east asian architecture. Though at the beginning it was fine since the residents really didn't bother anyone. But the then a mysterious red mist started spewing out of the Mansion. The red mist started blocking out the sun and had the potential of leaking into the outside world. Also it was summer during the time and all this blocking of the sun caused it to be freezing. You know everyone hates being freezing cold during the summer heat, well sometimes... honestly when it's cold I want it to be hot and when it's hot I want it to be cold... ANYWAYS~. So Reimu and Marisa decide that they will look into the cause of this Red Mist.

Gimmicks, Playable Characters, and Spell Cards

*Yukari comes to break the fourth wall* Ara! Ok reading this part you might be wondering what the flip this even means. So gimmicks is not really an official term I just made it up right now tbh. But in summary it's what makes the game kind of special like a few features and new things that got added to it. Though unfortunately I won't talk much about those gimmick in this one since EoSD's gimmick is that there is no gimmick. This was ZUN's first transition to Windows so other than having banger music he really didn't add much. Also spell refers to the characters you can choose and what types of shots/bombs they have. Some are homing so they track the enemy and others are more focused on power

Reimu Hakurei Spirit: "Homing Amulet
Spell Card: "Fantasy Seal"
Dream: "Homing Amulet
Spell Card: "Fantasy Seal"
This Spell Card gives you a homing type of shot that tracks enemy across the screen. Though it sacrifices power for this. This Spell Card is more focused on giving out more power rather than being more convenient. Shoots out needles as the name implies
Marisa Kirisame Spirit: "Magic Missile"
Spell Card: "Stardust Reverie"
Dream: "Illusion Laser"
Spell Card: "Master Spark"
This Spell Card gives you a shotgun type of shot. Bunch of bullets everywhere so it's great at clearing out large enemies but it has little horizontal range. . This Spell Card is also more focused on giving out more power. It gives you a laser that is able to pierce through enemies allowing for well... piercing

FIGHTS

>

STAGE ONE

Ok so i'm pretty sure I don't have to explain what a stage is. Every single main Touhou game has 6 regular stages and an additional extra stage. Sometimes there will be midbosses though so watch out for those. I will give a warning as a joke when there's a new midboss. I will give a brief description of the chracter and their themes. And maybe include some funny gifs here and there. BTW best stage theme is definitely Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea and the best boss theme is Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room.

Rumia Youkai of the Dusk
The first ever boss of the Touhou windows era. She is a youkai able to manipulate the darkness and is often just in her bubble of darkness wandering around. She bumps into trees due to well... being surrounded by darkness. Don't be fooled by her young appearance though, she regularly eats humans and considers it her job.
Stage Theme: A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry;
Theme: Apparitions Stalk the Night

STAGE TWO

!!!!INCOMING MIDBOSS!!!!

Daiyousei Nameless Greater Fairy
This midboss is the second stage. They don't officially have a name as she and along with Koakuma we're made before ZUN thought it was a good idea to give them names. He thought that midbosses we're too puny to be given names but eventually he saw the popularity that midbosses gained and officially went on to give them a name.
Theme: none they're a mid boss lol

Cirno Ice Fairy of the Lake
A fairy who is able to manipulate the cold. Quite the childish character and very overconfident proclaiming to be the strongest in Gensokyo. Though is actually quite the idiot (kusukusukusu). Very popular though and very often seen in pop culture outside of Touhou. Her hobbies includes freezing frogs and dethawing them to see them come back to life. (She fails one third of the time)
Stage Theme: Lunate Elf;
Theme: Tomboyish Girl in Love

STAGE THREE

Hong Meiling The Chinese Girl (lol)
Yes that's literally her title for some reason. Meiling is the gatekeeper and guardian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is able to use Qi and is an expert martial artists. Often is caught sleeping on the job which gets her in trouble lol. Also her stage theme is fire. Also has heavy patriotism towards China, remember they don't come from Gensokyo.
Stage Theme:Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea ;
Theme: Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17

STAGE FOUR

!!!!INCOMING MIDBOSS!!!!

Koakuma Little Devil
The second unnamed midboss. She is also one of the few that take care of the library along with Patchouli. Often is portrayed as having admiration to her, like to the point of being obssessive and creepy. There's like nothing on her officially and the fandom has given her most of the personality she today.
Theme: none they're a mid boss lol

Patchouli Knowledge The Unmoving Great Library
A witch and a long time friend of Remilia Scarlet. Quite the bookworm as reading is quite literally all she really does. She is the librarian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion library and also just locks herself in there... it's in the theme name. Though she is able to manipulate many elements, she is held by poor health caused by being such a hikikomori (not actually one she's just a recluse) and asthma.
Stage Theme: Voile, The Magic Library;
Theme: Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Secret Room

STAGE FIVE

Sakuya Izayoi Maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion
The chief maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She serves directly to the mistress. Abilities to stop time and is often paired with a bunch of knives to throw at people. Rumor has it that she just stops time and runs really quick to grab a bunch of knives from the kitchen. More rumors suggest that she doesn't even stop time and instead just moves really fast to the point of it looking like it stops time.
Stage Theme: The Maid And The Pocket Watch Of Blood ;
Theme: Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial

STAGE SIX

Remilia Scarlet Scarlet Devil
The final boss and the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. The main perpetrator behind the red mist that covered all of Gensokyo. She is a vampire so her physical abilities are literally superhuman and can summon devils like Koakuma to do her tasks. She is also able to manipulate fate itself and her most fearsome ability... turning into a bat rawr!
Stage Theme: The Young Descendant of Tepes
Theme: Septette for the Dead Princess

EXTRA STAGE

Remilia Scarlet Sister of the Devil
The hidden boss of the SDM and sister of Remilia Scarlet. She has a very unstanble personality and also has a fitting power of being able to quite literally destroy anything. She can manipulate the "eye" or core of something, and just bring it to her hand and destroy it with a bit of force. Due to this combined with her irratic personality she is kept hidden away in a secret room inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She can also clone herself with each one being just as destructive as the last.
Stage Theme: The Centennial Festival For Magical Girls
Theme: U.N. Owen was Her?
