Touhou Xenoglossia Z

[Sunflorazumarill]

Since the other topic of mine is over a year old now, I've decided to repost my ideas on something that I've had in my mind, something that I like to call Touhou Xenoglossia Z.

Touhou Xenoglossia Z is a story combining Touhou with iDolm@ster Xenoglossia and is heavily inspired by Super Mario Bros. Z (in fact, the intro and the first 10 episodes tend to mimic SMBZ a bit).

This story also will at times explain the pasts of some of the Touhou characters (it at some points details why Reimu tends to go after youkais and Sanae's past before having become a shrine maiden).

Also, for anyone that is wondering about the deal with the Lunarians (seeing as the moon was destroyed 108 years before the events of the story), aspects of that are also explained. In fact, the matter of the Lunarians and the moon having shattered will pave the way into the third season of Touhou Xenoglossia Z.

Seeing as this story idea of mine is based off of Super Mario Bros. Z, I'll give you a link to the best site to get info on SMBZ. You can find that info in this wiki here.

Touhou Xenoglossia Z: Introduction

108 years ago, the moon was completely destroyed. The devastation of its lack of gravitational pull has had a major effect on the planet's tides and overall ecosystem stability. Making things worse were the fragments of "Lost Artemis" that frequently fell to Earth, bringing yet more destruction in their wake. In order to combat this, the organization Mondenkind, had deployed five iDols built around very powerful harmonically tuned cores found in the wake of the moon's destruction. Piloting these giant robot iDols were iDOLM@STERs, who must be female in order for the iDols to allow control. These iDols were then deployed during meteor showers and used to destroy large asteroids with high powered sonic shockwaves emitted via a nicely delivered punch. Making Mondenkind's trouble worse was the organization Turiavita, which sought to steal away all the iDols from Mondenkind and its iDOLM@STERs and allow the destruction of humanity to occur so its own touted superior genetically engineered race of iDol/Human hybrid called the Mischlings could take over in its place. Much of the conflict was about the battle between Mondenkind and Turiavita for control of the iDols as well as the shifting bonds and rivalries between the iDOLM@STERs themselves.

Eventually, the conflict between Mondenkind and Turiavita resulted in the emergence of a super-powerful force known as Auryn, which almost resulted in the complete destruction of the earth. The iDols Imber, Nebula, and Hiems and their iDOLM@STERs fought against this force and won, but at the cost of the iDols themselves. With the entire planet saved, life started to go on. Several months after the "Auryn Incident", new asteroid belts have appeared around the earth, and without iDols to confront them, Mondenkind, how having started a space program, has set up massive arrays of laser satellites, missile systems, space cannons, and defense platforms around the earth to eliminate any threats that may come from above. The Vulturius cannon has also become a part of the Mondenkind cosmic defense system and they are also looking into making a man-made moon using Epimetheus (man-made iDol cores) technology.

It is now Haruka Amami's 17th birthday, and her friends and allies from when she had worked at Mondenkind, Iori Minase, Yukiho Hagiwara, Makoto Kikuchi, Ritsuko Akizuki, and the twins Ami and Mami Futami, have all gathered at the dorm where Haruka lived at during her time as an iDOLM@STER to celebrate the occasion. As it's to be a surprise party, Haruka's childhood friend, Yayoi Takatsuki, has decided to take her to the studio where the two work as typical idols until everything for the party is ready. Meanwhile, in a distant place known as Gensokyo, a stadium has been built for a major event known as the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament. A bunch of females from all over, only a few of them actually human, have decided to take part in this event. In the first round, Reimu Hakurei, the well-known shrine maiden of the Hakurei shrine, is going up against Aya Shameimaru, a tengu reporter and photographer. The battle takes to the skies and in the end, Reimu ends up victorious. Next up is Marisa Kirisame, a western-style witch against Cirno, a childish ice fairy who constantly boasts about being the strongest, but is actually not very bright. The battle is short as Marisa comes out on top.

Meanwhile, out in space, five objects can be seen cruising towards Earth. These objects then suddenly vanish. Back on Earth, we can see that Haruka, Iori, Makoto, and Yukiho still carry around the keys they used to pilot their respective iDols, although they are now powerless. However, these keys suddenly start glowing. Back in Gensokyo, the Danmaku Tournament continues as the next round commences. Here, we see Sanae Kochiya, the shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine, and a young woman from back outside Gensokyo, face off against Sakuya Izayoi, the chief maid of the Scarlet Mansion. While Sakuya seems to have the upper hand with her time-manipulating abilities, using attacks she learned from her two superiors, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya, Sanae manages to come out on top. However, in the next round, Sanae is soundly defeated by Marisa. Reimu's next foe happens to be Reisen Udongein Inaba, a humanoid rabbit from a remnant of the moon. Managing to overcome Reisen's "Lunatic Red Eyes", Reimu wins this round.

The final round of the tournament pits Reimu and Marisa against each other. The battle goes on for what seems like forever as Ying-Yang Orbs and Master Sparks fill the arena. Meanwhile, we see the same five objects from earlier enter Gensokyo along with countless thousands of strange crystal shards. Upon closer inspection, the five objects are the iDol cores; Imber, Nebula, Nubilum, Hiems, and Tempestas. The cores crash into Gensokyo and at the same time back on Earth, each of the iDol keys let out a bright flash that envelops those holding them. When it comes to Haruka, Yayoi is also enveloped in the light. Back in Gensokyo, we see Meira, a female samurai that took on Reimu several years ago training somewhere near the Forest of Magic. Meira sees a woman with blue hair standing in front of her who promptly asks where Imber is. Meira, somehow terrified by the woman, says that she doesn't know what the woman is talking about. Suddenly, we see a light glow in front of Meira as the woman decides that Meira is of no use to her. As we head out to outside of the forest, we see a large flash as Meira lets out a loud scream.

Back at the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament, Reimu is charging up a Ying-Yang Orb while Marisa is charging up a Master Spark when suddenly a bright flash appears in between of them. From the flash we see Haruka and Yayoi emerge. Not knowing of these two girls, Reimu accuses them of being youkais and she and Marisa decide to deal with them. However, Haruka unintentionally puts her hand over a crystal shard and suddenly, another flash occurs as armor similar to Imber appears around Haruka. As Reimu and Marisa prepare to attack her, Haruka involuntarily attacks them with some gravity punches like those the iDols used, sending both girls to opposite sides of the arena. Seeing Haruka as a threat, many of the other girls in the tournament; Aya, Sanae, Sakuya, Reisen, Remilia Scarlet, Youmu Konpaku, Suika Ibuki, Fujiwara no Mokou, Iku Nagae, and Yuka Kazami, among others, attack Haruka, who ends up taking each one down with little or no difficulty. Before anyone else can attack, Yayoi yells out to everyone that they're not youkais or anything like that and to stop attacking. Everyone decides to do just that.

As the Imber-like armor disappears around Haruka and she comes back down to the ground, Reimu and Marisa decide to take Yayoi's word and let them be, realizing that the two of them are not from Gensokyo. Reimu asks the two just who they are, and Haruka explains that she is Haruka Amami and that her friend is Yayoi Takatsuki. Yayoi asks just where they are, and Reimu explains that they are in Gensokyo. At this point, Momiji Inubashiri, a wolf tengu that serves under Aya, runs into the stadium to explain to Aya about how just now, five strange objects crashed into various parts of Gensokyo and that the land is littered with strange shards. Momiji also brings up that she found a samurai, or better yet, what's left of her. Upon hearing this, Reimu decides that she'll go investigate just what happened and Marisa decides to go with her. Haruka and Yayoi ask if the two of them can go with them to figure out a way to get back home. Due to the tournament being cancelled, everyone else decides to go back home. Sanae decides to go back to the Moriya Shrine to see if everything is all right there after what had just happened while Sakuya heads back to the Scarlet Mansion hoping that one of those objects didn't crash into it. As everyone else leaves the stadium, Reimu, Marisa, Haruka, and Yayoi decide to head out to see what has just happened, especially since Haruka notices a glow coming from her key to Imber. Little do any of them of know, a major adventure has just begun as as Reimu and Marisa help Haruka and Yayoi locate the rest of their friends that have ended up in Gensokyo, they'll discover that the iDol cores have also ended up here and will have to get them before dark forces do so.

I've got the bios for the main characters of Touhou Xenoglossia Z up. Note that none of these characters are mine, but it doesn't hurt to give them attacks that we've never seen them use before, as is the case with the series. Also this way, each character has a wide arsenal of unique abilities that they can use.

For the record, how Haruka, Iori, Makoto, and Chihaya function in battle in the series is a cross between mecha and magical girls. I also wanted them to have different attacks to make them more unique, such as all the variations of their iDol-based attacks.

When it comes to the Touhou girls, I've given them attacks they've used before, plus some more unique ones (Sakuya's arsenal of knives for instance). Despite TXZ's  SMBZ inspiration and mimicry, pretty much none of the attacks are lifted from that series.

Main Character Bios (Part 1)

Name: Haruka Amami
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 100.0 lbs
Hair: Brown
Eye Color: Green
Blood: 0
Occupation: Idol, Pilot
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero

Haruka Amami is a girl that aspired to be an idol. She went and auditioned to be one and a few months later she got a letter saying that she was accepted. However, as it turns out, the idol audition was really a cover and Haruka become the pilot for the iDol mecha Imber. However, after the Auryn incident, Imber, along with the other iDols, was apparently lost forever. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, a few months after the Auryn incident, Haruka had become a typical idol along with her friend Yayoi Takatsuki. It was Haruka's 17th birthday, but while with Yayoi, Haruka's key to Imber, which she made into a keychain, let out a flash of light and the next thing she kew, Yayoi and she were in Gensokyo, interrupting the Danmaku Tournament that was happening there. After a misunderstanding that caused Haruka to involuntarily attack many of the girls in the tournament with an unusual power based around the iDol cores, Haruka and Yayoi joined Reimu and Marisa in finding their friends. However, it's also become a race to find all five iDol cores, which have appeared in Gensokyo before Chihaya Kisaragi absorbs their power and destroys Gensokyo and more.

When it comes to Haruka's past, when she was little, her parents disappeared and she never saw them again. Haruka was afraid of making friends until she had met Yayoi one day in school, Yayoi encouraging Haruka to be herself. However, other than these two things, we don't know much else about Haruka's history.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, whenever Haruka comes in contact with a Lunar Shard, which have arrived in Gensokyo along the the iDol cores, she becomes clad in special iDol armor (which looks like a cross between Saber's armor (from Fate/Stay Night) and Imber's body). When in iDol Armor, Haruka can perform gravity punches, fire gravity spheres, send out gravity shockwaves, kick up a gravity shield, intensify, lessen, reverse, and manipulate the gravity around her, and launch gravity pulses, but she can also rain down energy meteors, and her most unusual attack is the ability to produce a crystalline energy sword for close range combat. The effect of a Lunar Shard is only temporary and the iDol Armor eventually disappears, requiring Haruka to find another Shard. Due to the fact that she wears yellow ribbons in her hair (she used to wear red ones), she tends to be called "Ribbon-chan" (even people like Marisa and Sanae call her this) or sometimes "Stupid Ribbon" (usually by Iori). Haruka has formed a friendship with Iori and a bond with Makoto, the three having been the ones that stopped Auryn, and they will have to not only work with one another, but also with their new allies in Gensokyo if they want to stop Chihaya.

Abilities
Gravity Punch - Haruka punches the foe hard, sending out gravity shockwaves. The harder and more focused the punch is, the bigger the shockwave and greater the effect.
Gravity Sphere - Haruka charges up a sphere in both hands that she fires at her foes. The resulting explosion sends out several shockwaves.
Gravity Wave - Haruka raises her hand in the air and sends out a wave of gravity that wipes out all foes that get caught in it.
Gravity Shield - Haruka creates a large spherical shield around herself that deflects all attacks, sending them back to the attacker.
Gravity Pulse - Haruka discharges a pulse from both her hands that renders the foe completely immobile for a while.
Gravity Switch - Haruka alters the gravity in the area, from intensifying it to lessening it to reversing it and various other effects.
Meteor Starrain - Haruka launches an energy cluster high into the sky that sends a meteor storm down onto the area, each meteor sending out a shockwave upon impact.
iDol Sword - Haruka produces a crystal energy sword on a hilt that she swings around. Each strike is powerful and sends out a shockwave.
Trivia: The size of the gravity shield varies and can range from just protecting Haruka to covering an entire large area. In Episode 10, Haruka created a shield large enough to contain herself, Iori, Reimu, Marisa, Remilia, Yukari, and Aya and protect them all from the waves of Epi-chans and the attacks of the transformed Lunacarren. In Episode 13, Haruka covered the Epi-chan battlefield in a large gravity dome that protected herself, the rest of the heroines, Parsee, and Yuugi from any outer Epi-chans and hindered any ones within the dome.


Name: Iori Minase
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 86.0 lbs
Hair: Purple
Eye Color: Red
Blood: AB
Occupation: Pilot
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero

Iori Minase is a girl that has some trouble liking other iDol pilots. She has been with Mondenkind for an unknown period of time and started serving as the backup pilot for the iDol Nebula, whose main pilot was Makoto. She started disliking Haruka a bit because Haruka got to be Imber's pilot after just arriving and for other reasons. Eventually, Iori became Nebula's permanent pilot and she warmed up to Haruka and the two became friends. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Iori decided to throw a surprise party for Haruka, but was suddenly transported to Gensokyo through a flash of light given off by Nebula's key. She ended up in the Forest of Magic where she startled a group of sunflower fairies that attacked her. Haruka and Yayoi along with Reimu and Marisa found Iori, who was shocked to see the former two having ended up in Gensokyo and made fun of the latter two's attire, calling Reimu's outfit ancient (Reimu hit Iori with her gohei stick for that remark). Iori decided to join the four in finding a way for herself, Haruka, and Yayoi to get back home. After finding out that Chihaya has come to Gensokyo and is seeking out the five iDol cores, Iori decides to help the rest of the group stop her.

We find out in Touhou Xenoglossia Z that Iori's family happens to be super rich, much like her game counterpart. Her family in fact is Mondenkind's biggest financial contributor. However, Iori decided that she would rather make it on her own and not rely on her family's money. When it comes to Iori's past, when she was nine, she was walking through the woods of one of her family's estates and came across Nebula. When she told other kids, they said she was lying and must have taken a nap or something. Wanting to see the iDol again, Iori eventually joined Mondenkind through her father's connections with the organization and got to be one of Nebula's pilots.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, much like with Haruka, whenever Iori comes in contact with a Lunar Shard, she becomes clad in iDol Armor (which looks like a cross between Saber's Fate/Extra armor (from Fate/Stay Night) and Nebula's body). When in iDol Armor, Iori can perform gravity punches, fire gravity blasts, fire a gravity cannon, and launch gravity bombs. She can also use powerful grappling arms and can launch satellites with various effects. Due to a lot of her forehead being visible, Iori tends to be called "Forehead-chan" (usually by Yayoi). She tends to call Haruka "Stupid Ribbon" and Yayoi "Cosplay-chan" and also called Sakuya "Maid-chief" upon first meeting her. Iori has a bitter rivalry with Yayoi and the two tend to clash upon seeing each other. Like the rest of the heroines, Iori will stay with the group and help them stop Chihaya from getting all five iDol cores.

Abilities
Gravity Punch - Iori punches the foe hard, sending out gravity shockwaves. The harder and more focused the punch is, the bigger the shockwave and greater the effect.
Gravity Blast - Iori charges up, then fires a gravity blast at the foe. Upon contact, the gravity of the target is altered.
Gravity Cannon - Iori produces a large cannon on her right arm, which fires vertical shockwaves at the foe. These shockwaves repel the foe and their attacks upon contact.
Gravity Bomb - Iori fires a large spherical energy bomb at the foe. Upon contact with a target, the bomb explodes into several shockwaves that shoot out in all directions.
Grappling Claw - Iori launches one or both of the grappling arms her iDol Armor has. The claw shocks and paralyzes the foe upon contact and can also affect any nearby foes.
Satellite Laser - Iori produces a satellite launcher on one of her arms and fires spherical satellites that fire lasers in various directions.
Satellite Barrier - Iori fires satellites that produce energy barriers that block attacks. A number of satellites can form a large shield.
Satellite Bomb - Iori launches satellites that explode on contact. These explosions also send out shockwaves for further damage and effect.


Name: Makoto Kikuchi
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 92.5 lbs
Hair: Gray
Eye Color: Blue
Blood: O
Occupation: Pilot
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero (when working for Turiavita, however, it was Dark)

Makoto Kikuchi has spent almost her entire life at Mondenkind as the pilot for the iDol Nebula. She was confident in her status as the best and strived to be better than Iori. After a mission where Makoto disobeyed orders, she was relieved of her status as an iDol pilot and went to Turiavita where she became the pilot for the iDol Hiems. After that, she wanted revenge on Iori, but later came to her senses and fought alongside Iori during an Epimetheus onslaught and the Auryn incident. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Makoto got an invitation from Iori to come to Haruka's surprise birthday party and showed up just minutes before a flash of light was given off by her key to Hiems. She was transported to Gensokyo, but got into some trouble with the Three Mischevious Fairies, which were acting strangely, and was defeated by them. Alice Margatroid was in the Forest of Magic at the time and stumbled upon an unconscious Makoto. Alice decided to take her back to her house until she got better. While the heroines were in Makai fighting Chihaya, Mkaoto finally came to and sensed something was wrong. Heading outside Alice's house, she stumbled upon a Lunar Shard and after becoming equipped with iDol Armor, dashed off to where the heroines were at, Alice coming with her. After trying to take on Chihaya and the events that followed in Makai, Makoto joined up with the rest of the heroines in order to stop Chihaya.

When it comes to Makoto's past, she has been with Mondenkind for most of her life. She looked up to Azusa Miura and thought of her as a big sister When Makoto was around nine, Azusa was seriously injured in a mission and could no longer pilot Nebula. Shortly after, Makoto becamse Nebula's pilot and decided that she wouldn't make the same mistakes that Azusa made.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, just like with Haruka and Iori, whenever Makoto comes into contact with a Lunar Shard, she becomes clad in iDol Armor (which looks like a cross between Saber Lily's armor (from Fate/Stay Night) and Hiems's body). When in iDol Armor, Makoto can perform gravity punches, pull off gravity spins, set off gravity earthquakes, and fire a gravity beam. She can also raze her foes with a rapidfire assault, launch large explosive pins, fire a powerful rail cannon, and launch EMP bombs. Makoto can sometimes has a competitive side when it comes to battle and can be a bit stubborn. However, despite her tough exterior, she is also known to have a thing for crabs. Makoto is another good ally of the heroines and as soon as she joins them, they are glad to have her at their side.

Abilities
Gravity Punch - Makoto punches the foe hard, sending out gravity shockwaves. The harder and more focused the punch is, the bigger the shockwave and greater the effect.
Gravity Spin - Makoto starts spinning around rapidly, creating a cylindrical gravity cyclone that sends any foes in or near it up into the sky or down to the ground.
Gravity Quake - Makoto slams down on the ground hard, sending out a massive shockwave that tears up the ground.
Gravity Beam - Makoto fires a large beam that upon contact, sends out a horizontal cylindrical shockwave outward.
Hyper Rapidfire - From her iDol Armor's two guns, Makoto launches a big machine gun-like assault on her foes, razing them.
Blast Needle -  Makoto fires large needle-like projectiles that explode on target with foes. The projectiles are also homing.
Power Railgun - From one of her two arms, Makoto fires a large twisting electromagnetic metal beam that flies at several times the speed of light, shooting through anything that it hits.
EMP Bomb - Makoto charges up, then fires an electromagnetic energy bomb. The explosion sends out waves that short out anything electronic and cause such things to blow up.

Due to the size limit on posts here, I had to split this up into multiple parts. Here's the next part:

Main Character Bios (Part 2)

Name: Reimu Hakurei
Age: 18 <est>
Gender: Female
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Hair: Brown
Eye Color: Red
Blood: B
Occupation: Shrine Maiden
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero

Reimu Hakurei is the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine and one of Gensokyo's most well-known residents and heroes. She has saved the land of Gensokyo and other places on a number of cases along with various friends and allies. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Reimu decided to take part in the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament and made it to the final round, where she faced off against her friend, Marisa Kirisame. However, before either one could unleash her strongest attack, Haruka and Yayoi appeared in the stadium. Reimu and Marisa at first attacked them, but seeing as they were from the outside world, Reimu decided to help them with their cause. Finding out about the five iDol cores and Chihaya, who aims to obtain them all, Reimu has been drawn into yet another adventure alongside Marisa, Sanae, and Sakuya.

Unlike in past adventures, Reimu's past is explained during the events of the series. When Reimu was seven, her father was killed by a rogue youkai. This upset Reimu terribly and eventually, she went off to go find that particular youkai with the intent of killing him. She eventually confronted the youkai and almost finished him, but stopped herself from delivering the final blow at the last minute. However, this incident caused Reimu to dislike youkais for years as she promised to become powerful enough one day so that she would be able to protect everyone she loves.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Reimu uses a number of abilities and attacks which happen to be pretty effective on almost anything. Her most often used attack is firing Yin-Yang Orbs at her foes. Other abilities include gohei sheets, an air slash, and one of her most powerful techniques, a powerful red-colored beam. Reimu is also adept at using various spell cards with her attacks. Reimu has known Marisa for quite a while and the two of them are known to work together most of the time, thus they're rarely seen apart. Reimu has come to understand how powerful Chihaya is and seeing that she could destroy all of Gensokyo, Reimu knows there's no time to waste and that she can't defeat Chihaya alone. However, she knows that with Haruka, Iori, and Makoto at her side, they can win.

Abilities
Yin-Yang Orb - Reimu creates and fires a Yin-Yang Orb at her foes. She can also charge it up to make the attack bigger.
Gohei Sheet - Reimu launches several spirit-enhanced papers that happen to be effective even against Epimetheus's.
Gohei Square - Reimu launches a spirit-enhanced square that explodes in a flash of energy upon contact with any foes.
Air Slash - Reimu forms a red-colored blade of wind around her gohei stick and slashes her enemies with it. This wind blade can also be fired forward as a ranged attack.
PWJ Needle - Reimu fires several needles that cause instant paralysis in whatever comes in contact with them.
Spell Burn - Reimu pulls out a card that burns any foes caught within the range of the spell.
Imprison Seal - Reimu surrounds her foes with a circle of energy that traps them in suspended animation. So far, she has only used this while in Last Word form.
Sky Beam - Reimu charges up and fires a large red beam that blasts away anything in its path.


Name: Marisa Kirisame
Age: 18 <est>
Gender: Female
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Hair: Blonde
Eye Color: Yellow
Blood: B
Occupation: Magician
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero

Marisa Kirisame is one of Reimu Hakurei's closest friends and is a witch specializing in magic, but at times is also a thief and youkai hunter. Unlike most residents in Gensokyo who have some sort of natural power or ability, Marisa had had to learn her own techniques. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Marisa took part in the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament, taking down Cirno and Sanae along the way. In the final round of the tournament, she fought Reimu. Before either girl could finish the other off, a blinding light appeared in between them and two girls named Haruka and Yayoi appeared from that light. Marisa, Reimu, and other girls in the tournament attacked them, but were fought off by Haruka somehow. After realizing that Haruka and Yayoi were from outside Gensokyo, Marisa joined Reimu in trying to find a way back home for the two newcomers. After learning about the five iDol cores and Chihaya, Marisa has to help her friends, old and new, stop Chihaya from taking all five cores.

During the events of the series, Marisa's past is explained. It turns out, when she was only seven, Marisa went into the Forest of Magic with her Hakkero. Attempting to execute some sort of spell, Marisa ended up accidentaly setting some of the forest on fire and was trapped. However, someone by the name of Mima noticed the fire and saw that Marisa was in danger. Mima was able to stop the fire by using her power to lower the temperature to cold levels, putting the fire out. Seeing as Mima had saved her, Marisa felt indebted to her and decided to have Mima be her teacher in learning magic in the hopes of becoming a powerful magician herself someday.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Marisa shows a number of abilities that she's learned, some of which have been copied from others. Marisa always carries her Hakkero, a mini furnace that despite its small size (it easily fits in her hand), is a potent source of magical energy and has the firepower to burn down a mountain. Marisa uses this item as the means to power her most often-used attack, Master Spark. Most of Marisa's arsenal is copied from people such as Yuka Kazami (Master Spark) and Patchouli Knowledge (Non-Directional Laser), and she's also known to have learned a few more attacks as well. Marisa has been friends with Reimu since shortly after they first met and knows that the miko will need her help in defeating Chihaya. She also won't mind having additional help from Sanae, Sakuya, Haruka, Iori, and Makoto.

Abilities
Master Spark - Marisa charges up intense energy in her Hakkero and unleashes a giant beam of energy at her foes.
Non-Directional Laser - Marisa sends out four lasers that spin around her. She can spin the laser wheel around her for better range.
Blazing Star - Marisa fires a flaming red star from her Hakkero that explodes in a flash of red light, blowing away her foes.
Dragon Meteo - Marisa launches a teal-color meteor-shaped projectile that explodes upon contact, sending out large shockwaves.
Five Elements - Five crystals in the colors of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet, each holding one of the five elements, appear around Marisa and are shot outward.
Final Spark - Marisa focuses a colossal amount of energy into her Hakkero and sends out an enormous rainbow-colored beam of energy. She has only done this in her Last Word form.
Trivia: Five Elements is a technique used by Patchouli. However, since Marisa is capable of copying the abilities of others, she at one point copied this from Patchouli. She may have also learned this technique from her notes in her Grimore of Marisa spell card book.


Name: Sanae Kochiya
Age: 18 <est>
Gender: Female
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Hair: Green
Eye Color: Green
Blood: AB
Occupation: Shrine Maiden
Race: Human
Alignment: Hero

Sanae Kochiya is the shrine maiden of the Moriya Shrine and had originally come from the outside world, but came to Gensokyo along with her superiors Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Sanae took part in the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament, where went up against Sakuya. While it looked like Sakuya would win, Sanae had managed to come out on top, but then lost to Marisa. After the tournament was cancelled due to Haruka and Yayoi appearing within the stadium, Sanae headed back to the Moriya Shrine, where Imber's core had crashed. Chihaya arrived at the shrine and Sanae had to fight her. While Sanae was able to put up a good fight against Chihaya, she was eventually overwhelmed by her and almost killed, but Reimu and Marisa then arrived and attacked Chihaya, forcing her to grab Imber and flee. Sanae decided to join up with them as well as, Haruka, Iori, and Yayoi in hopes of making Chihaya pay for attacking the Moriya Shrine. After the events of the Lunacarren arc, Sanae has now decided to help the heroines stop Chihaya for the sake of all of Gensokyo.

During Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Sanae's past is explained. Around the time of the Dawn of the Purple Moon Incident, Sanae's parents vanished and she never heard from them again. With nowhere else to go, the young Sanae wandered the streets of Tokyo until Kanako appeared and took her in. During the time Sanae was growing up, Kanako, using a public image, acted as Sanae's guardian and made sure Sanae still went to school and the like. When Sanae was 10, Kanako took her to one of the sites of ruined sunken buildings surrounding Tokyo. It was here that Sanae witnessed from a major distance a giant robot (revealed to be Tempestas) exploding and disappearing (it turns out this event is what Hisotensoku reminded Sanae of). Upon entering Gensokyo, Sanae noticed there was a moon, even though the moon was destroyed 106 years before (when Sanae came to Gensokyo). The moon is only an illusion since Gensokyo was separated from the outside world long before Lost Artemis.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Sanae is shown to possess a large range of abilities, from more expected tactics such as star-shapes, exploding frogs, and homing snakes, to more unusual moves such as ice breath, trapping foes within suspended animation via rainbow square-shapes, and even a huge water-based beam. Sanae's personality goes through a few changes during the series as well. For example, Sanae's youkai-hunting practices were criticized by people like Kongasa and Byakuren, but during the Lunacarren arc, Sanae's views on youkai have changed to where she might no longer want any part in even hurting youkais. Her reason for joining up with Reimu and Marisa has changed from wanting to get back at Chihaya for attacking the Moriya Shrine to wanting to stop Chihaya for the sake of all of Gensokyo (saying she'll stay with the group until Chihaya is stopped once and for all). Sanae, like the rest of the heroines is a valuable member to the group and will do what she can to get the iDol cores before Chihaya can.

Abilities
Gohei Spin - Sanae spins her gohei stick in front of her rapidly, damaging anyone hit by it. This is by far her most often-used melee attack.
Star Blast - Sanae creates a star-shape that shoots outward in a straight line.
Exploding Frog - Sanae launches frog-shaped energy bodies that explode on contact, creating shockwaves for wider range.
Homing Snake - Sanae fires snake-shaped energy bodies that home in on targets.
Air Slash - Sanae forms a blue-colored blade of wind around her gohei stick and slashes her enemies with it. She has only used this as a melee attack.
Rainbow Square - Sanae fires four rainbow squares that surround her foes and traps them within a large rainbow crystal cube.
Ice Breath - Sanae exhales a swirling blast of cold air forward, freezing all foes caught in it.
Hydro Beam - Sanae charges up and fires a large blue beam that surges through anything in its path.
Trivia: The full power of Sanae's ice breath is likely extraordinary, since in Episode 12, when underwater, she focuses all of her attack's power, exhales very deeply, and instantly freezes an entire area of water solid (Sanae comes out of the ice safely). This particular attack keeps Chihaya entombed deep within the ice until the beginning of Episode 16.


Name: Sakuya Izayoi
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Hair: Silver
Eye Color: Blue
Blood: AB
Occupation: Maid
Race: Human?
Alignment: Hero

Sakuya Izayoi is the chief maid at the Scarlet Mansion who works for her mistress, Remilia Scarlet, and is apparently the only human living in or working at the mansion. Since nearly everyone living or working at the Scarlet Mansion are maids, being chief of them means that there are few people there with more authority within the mansion than her. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Sakuya took part in the Gensokyo Danmaku Tournament and faced off against Sanae. Sakuya, however, ended up losing to the miko. After Haruka and Yayoi appeared in Gensokyo, Sakuya went back to the Scarlet Mansion. While Reimu, Marisa, Sanae, Haruka, and Iori were fighting the Three Mischievous Fairies, the somehow resurrected Turiavita attacked the mansion for unknown reasons. Sakuya tried her best to protect the mansion, but her knives were completely ineffective on the Epimetheuses the organization sent. By the time the heroines found out about the attack on the mansion, the place was already in ruins. Despite Remilia wanting Sakuya to help rebuild the mansion, Sakuya decided to join the heroines in finding out more about the organization that attacked the mansion and stopping them.

Unlike Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae, we don't know much about Sakuya's past, other than she's known and served Remilia for a long time. Sakuya Izayoi is in fact not her real name, but a name given to her by Remilia. Her real name is unknown.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Sakuya shows her ability to manipulate time, from stopping to reversing to slowing down to fast forwarding as well as her knife proficiency. She tends to set up knives in midair after stopping time and resume time to have the knives fly towards her targets. While this has been seen before, in this series, Sakuya is also capable of producing knives with various elements and properties, such as fire knives, thunder knives, and ice knives. Sakuya carries with her a pocketwatch-like item known as a Luna Dial, which is what allows her to manipulate time. By bending time, Sakuya is capable of teleporting around, a technique she uses a lot during battle and in two consecutive episodes, has saved herself and others by teleporting everyone away. (In Episode 6, Sakuya got the heroines, Youmu, Yuyuko, and any anyone else there out of Hakugyokurou just before Chihaya vaporized the entire area and in Episode 7, she had teleported herself, the heroines, Alice, and Shinki out of Pandaemonium before Chihaya could destroy them all.) Sakuya tends to rush into battle and sometimes can be overconfident in her abilities. In Episode 11, she didn't think that Chihaya copied her time manipulation abilities and was surprised when she got sucker punched by the blue-haried woman. Nevertheless, the heroines are glad they have Sakuya on their side and she will stay with them until the end.

Abilities
Luna Dial - Sakuya manipulates time, whether she stops it, reverses it, slows it down, or speeds it up.
Normal Knives - Sakuya throws a number of knives at the foe, or sets them up in stopped time and has them fly outward. These have no effect on iDols or Epimetheuses.
Fire Knives - Sakuya throws fiery knives at her foes. The knives explode on contact and will even damage iDols or Epimetheuses.
Thunder Knives - Sakuya throws electric-coated knives at her foes with send out waves that paralyze anyone caught in them.
Ice Knives - Sakuya throws freezing knives that cause any foes that they hit to become frozen solid. More knives means longer freezing.
Silver Knives - Sakuya throws out silver knives that can be stopped in midair and recalled to her. She can even adjust their positioning in the air before recalling them.
Gold Knives - Sakuya throws out golden knives that go through whatever they hit, allowing for more damage and hitting more targets.
Crystal Knives - Sakuya throws out crystalline knives that freeze time for whatever foes they hit, as if individually frozen in time.
Luna Blast - Sakuya charges up a huge amount of time energy in her Luna Dial and fires a teal-violet beam at her foes, instantly freezing time when executed. She has only done this in her Last Word form.
Za Warudo - Sakuya traps her foes in a time-stopping circle, throws knives into the circle, then jumps up and rushes downward onto whoever is caught in the circle.
Trivia: Sakuya's Za Warudo ability is intentionally borrowed from Dio Brando in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. However, Sakuya doesn't say a thing and instead of a steamroller, she does a powerful drop on the foe. She has only tried this once, against Chihaya in Episode 11, but as Sakuya was coming down, Chihaya had already stopped time herself and sucker punched her.

If you say you've lurked for 2 years, how come you don't know this guy's exploits?
Unless you're lying and you're just purely whiteknighting.

all I see is someone bashing someone for contributing to the imas community just because they themselves don't like what the other person is doing.

I think you should just keep quiet. Whether you like it or not, its still impressive that someone is doing this and I hardly see you contribute anything yourself.

And all i see is a big fat liar, mr whiteknight.

Disregard that, I'm not being as nice as I should be.

I have a feeling this topic is going to get locked, but I've gone and deleted my "repost" topic and decided to just update this one instead. Here's the final part of the character bios:

Main Character Bios (Part 2)

Name: Chihaya Kisaragi
Age: 18 (49?)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 90.5 lbs
Hair: Blue
Eye Color: Orange
Blood: A
Occupation: Pilot
Race: Human
Alignment: Dark

Chihaya Kisaragi is a total psychopath that seems to like destruction and considers Haruka her mortal enemy. She contributed to a lot of the things Turivatia did throughout iDolmaster Xenoglossia and was thought to have been killed during the raid on Turiavita's base. In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, however, Chihaya is revealed to have somehow survived the incident (this is never fully explained, even people like Haruka and Reimu wonder this) and ended up back on the mainland, though she was unconscious. Someone found her and took her to a hospital, where she laid in a coma for a few months. Around the time of Haruka's birthday, Chihaya woke up and trashed the hospital, injuring everyone who tried to stop her. Even more so, as a result of what happened to her during Turiavita's end, Chihaya had developed some sort of strange powers that seemed to have no effect at the time. However, when the iDol cores came back towards Earth and entered Gensokyo, Chihaya felt some sort of power surge go through her and suddenly was transported to Gensokyo. Upon arriving in Gensokyo, Chihaya has started an ambition to absorb the energy of all the iDol cores. Her goal, destroy Gensokyo, all surrounding worlds, and even the outside world, and from their ruins, found a new world for herself that she rules over.

When it comes to Chihaya's past, she along with Azusa was taken in by two scientists named Kaien and Tell. These two scientists researched the iDol cores and Azusa and Chihaya showed great promise when it came to piloting the mechas built around the cores. In fact, Chihaya became Imber's pilot. However, Tell's research became a bit dark and eventually, she staged an incident where Imber had gone berserk and rejected Chihaya. Tell, going by the name of "Mother", went to found Turiavita, and Chihaya joined her and was given the iDol Nubilum.

During the events of Touhou Xenoglossia Z, Chihaya is shown to possess immense power due to the resonating energies of the iDol cores and Lunar Shards. The energy causes a reaction with her powers and allows Chihaya to summon iDol Armor (which looks like a cross between Saber Alter's armor (from Fate/Stay Night) and Nubilum's body) without the need of coming in contact with a Lunar Shard (she'd actually prefer her armor to be white). When in iDol Armor, Chihaya can perform such things as gravity punches, gravity kicks, majorly intensifying gravity, fire energy blasts, and assemble a laser cannon that she can fire on her foes. To add to that, due to the powers that she exhibits and how they behave in Gensokyo, Chihaya can copy the abilities of whoever she comes in contact with and use those abilities when in iDol Armor. Such examples include Chihaya being able to launching Yin-Yang Orbs like Reimu can or launch homing snake bullets like Sanae can. She can even perform the attacks of those who require a certain item to use such as Marisa's Master Spark or Sakuya's Luna Dial. Even more so, Chihaya can enhance these abilities, making them much stronger than with those she coped them from (such as if both Chihaya and Sakuya have stopped time, Chihaya can stop time again, leaving Sakuya frozen in time). Because of this, her arsenal is quite vast and also continues to grow. Chihaya's personality is shown to be quite insane and psychotic. While she considers Haruka her enemy, she also sees a growing threat in Reimu and has a bit of a grudge with Sanae. If Chihaya isn't stopped, Gensokyo, and more will be destroyed.

Normal Abilities
Gravity Punch - Chihaya punches the foe hard, sending out gravity shockwaves. The harder and more focused the punch is, the bigger the shockwave and greater the effect.
Gravity Kick - Chihaya sends out a powerful kick at the foe, sending out gravity shockwaves. Basically the same as punching.
Gravity Crush - Chihaya sends down a string of heavy shockwaves, crushing anything that gets caught under the attack.
Gravity Bind - Chihaya creates several ring-like shockwaves around the foe that come together and bind the foe or foes caught in them.
Gravity Storm - Chihaya sends out a gravity anomaly that causes gravity to intensify rapidly. Buildings and other structures are crushed by this effect in little time.
Ion Sphere - Chihaya creates a large sphere of ion energy that she launches at her foes. The sphere then explodes on contact, sending out shockwaves that distort the area.
Energy Blast - Chihaya fires a string of energy shots at her foes. She can also fire machine-gun style.
Laser Cannon - Chihaya assembles a large laser cannon and fires it at her foes. The laser blast sends out a shockwave upon being fired.
Giga Laser - Chihaya has her laser cannon take in a TON of energy and fires a COLOSSAL laser equal to the power of the Vulturius Cannon downward. The full power and range of this blast is unknown; it could even destroy all of Gensokyo instantly. Chihaya has only done this in her Last Word form.
Copied Abilities
Yin-Yang Orb - Chihaya creates and fires a Yin-Yang Orb at her foes. She can also charge it up to make the attack bigger. Copied from Reimu.
Master Spark - Chihaya charges up intense energy in her hand and then unleashes a giant beam of energy at her foes. Copied from Marisa.
Non-Directional Laser - Chihaya sends out four lasers that spin around her. She can spin the lasers around her for better range. Copied from Marisa.
Homing Snake - Chihaya fires snake-shaped energy bodies that home in on targets. Copied from Sanae.
Exploding Frog - Chihaya fires frog-shaped energy bodies that explode on contact, creating shockwaves for wider range. Copied from Sanae.
Luna Dial - Chihaya manipulates time, whether she stops it, reverses it, slows it down, or speeds it up. Copied from Sakuya.
Res. Butterfly - Chihaya launches a flowing wave of glowing butterfly-like projectiles that can blind her foes. Copied from Yuyuko.
Enhanced Abilities
Yin-Yang Orb Ultra - Chihaya fires a storm of Yin-Yang Orbs at her foes. She can also launch a massive one twice her height that explodes on contact. Enhanced version of Reimu's Yin-Yang Orb.
Master Spark Ultra - Chihaya fires two large beams of energy from both her hands that push all matter out of their way. Enhanced version of Marisa's Master Spark.
Non-Directional Laser Ultra - Chihaya launches countless arrays of spinning lasers in all directions, which cut through anything. Enhanced version of Marisa's Non-Directional Laser.
Homing Snake Ultra - Chihaya launches infinitely long snake-shaped energy bodies that can wrap around anything from foes to large structures, allowing her to lift and throw them. Enhanced version of Sanae's Homing Snake.
Exploding Frog Ultra - Chihaya launches large streams of clustered together frog-shaped energy bodies gattling gun-style. Enhanced version of Sanae's Exploding Frog.
Luna Dial Ultra - Chihaya manipulates time while in manipulated time (like stopping time when time is already stopped or fast-forwarding time while time is reversed). Enhanced version of Sakuya's Luna Dial.
Res. Butterfly Ultra 1 - Chihaya launches a storm of medium-sized butterfly projectiles that explode into smaller projectiles that explode into flashing dust that blinds anyone caught in it. Enhanced version of Yuyuko's Res. Butterfly.
Res. Butterfly Ultra 2 - Chihaya has giant butterfly-like energy wings form on her back, giving her enhanced speed, flight, and maneuverability. She can also slash her foes with these wings. Another enhanced version of Yuyuko's Res. Butterfly.
Trivia: These aren't all the abilities Chihaya possesses. She happens to have many more at her disposal depending on the people she copies.

Age: 18 (49?)

The word may never know.   According to the DVD booklet, Chihaya-Master is 17(?) years old.

Eye Color: Orange

Her eyes aren't orange, they are raspberry-coloured.

Chihaya Kisaragi is a total psychopath that seems to like destruction and considers Haruka her mortal enemy.

No! I'm protesting! She is a beautifully singing total psychopath that seems to like destruction and considers Haruka her mortal enemy! 

In Touhou Xenoglossia Z, however, Chihaya is revealed to have somehow survived the incident (this is never fully explained, even people like Haruka and Reimu wonder this) and ended up back on the mainland, though she was unconscious.

The explanation is simple: it was the Power of the Fans who prayed for Chihaya-Master to be revived!

When it comes to Chihaya's past, she along with Azusa was taken in by two scientists named Kaien and Tell.

That awful woman who told Chihaya-Master many stupid things and performed experiments on her is named Teru Rou. As for her husband, his name wasn't mentioned. Where did your information come from?

The energy causes a reaction with her powers and allows Chihaya to summon iDol Armor (which looks like a cross between Saber Alter's armor (from Fate/Stay Night) and Nubilum's body) without the need of coming in contact with a Lunar Shard (she'd actually prefer her armor to be white).

The word may never know.   According to the DVD booklet, Chihaya-Master is 17(?) years old.

Touhou Xenoglossia Z takes place a year after the events of iDolmaster Xenoglossia began, so everyone's a year older.

Her eyes aren't orange, they are raspberry-coloured.

You could be right about that.

That awful woman who told Chihaya-Master many stupid things and performed experiments on her is named Teru Rou. As for her husband, his name wasn't mentioned. Where did your information come from?

I got it from some anime review site. Said "awful woman's" name can also be translated to Del Donna (which is the name used for her in Pokémon Flora/Azure/Solar).

Can you show a picture?

Sorry. I don't have one.

Anyway, I was thinking about reviving this topic myself in order to go into more detail about it as well as post episode summaries to present a better idea of what happens, including information on the second and third series.
