Touhou Vividdaybreak - Karas Of Gensokyo
well after so long, we finally got more updates of more world building for this crappy fanfic.
this time it's about KARAS
Karas are powerful beings that embodies various powers and mythical armors that protect various regions of future gensokyo.
basically, imagine batman as your neighborhood patrol.
Karas was first "created" during this era: fav.me/d62lo3t . their main purpose was to defeat "Mikura" a group of mysterious beings that feeds on both human and youkai.
but threats are long gone. the rest of Karas and their Superior now watches over Gensokyo, waiting for the time they'll be needed again. or simply hired by the residents to do some works (which is often misused and exploited).
there's at least 100 different Karas spread all over Gensokyo, but i'll just introduce 3 for this story.
Agito
- Rank #1 Karas
- she look after region near the Hakurei Shrine, she use this as excuse for freeloading on the shrine.
- despite the asymmetrical shape, her armor is the most balanced compared to the other 99 karas
Yamame Kurodani
- Rank #7 Karas
- Yamame often lurks in one of the entrance to the Youkai capital. has friendly term with Otoha.
- her armor is equipped with 4 mechanical spiders leg each weaponized with deadly venom.
Imaizumi Kagerou
- Rank #12 Karas
- she watch over a part of Human capital region, usually patrols at night. Remilia often hires Kagerou to be one of her bodyguards.
- Kagerou's armor is one of the unique among Karas, since it's conveniently accommodate her beast form.
