About this Mod
About
What this mod hopes to achieve:
- Add origins based on as many touhou characters/species as possible, also offering alternative origins within the same species/character, like ReimuA and ReimuB.
- Depict the basic character abilities/personality without necessarily being 100% faithful to the lore, e.g. Flandre = Destruction and Fairies = Nature.
- Keep the origins somewhat balanced (e.g. no direct upgrades over other origins) and hopefully fun.
- Allow different playstyles depending on the origin, e.g. Sakuya = Precise, Keiki = Builder, Satori = Support, Maribel = Speedrun etc.
Origins
As of version 0.16.0, the mod adds 64 different origins. Refer to the docs for names and descriptions of their powers as seen in-game.
Not Origins
- Flawless status effect: used to depict immortality on some origins (mostly Lunarians) without making them literally unkillable, inspired by Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend.
- Graze status effect: used to depict dodging/agile origins, primarily tengu.
