Name: Saigai Mitsurugi
Age: Unknown, but at least a milennium.
Gender: Female
Race: Shinto Goddess
Sex: Female
Appearance: Mitsurugi has long, flowing black hair adorned with trailing ribbons of a teal color. She wears a multi-layered robe of various colors, with the outermost being a stony gray and the inner ones alternating between a burnt orange and a darker teal. Longer strands of cloth trail from her sleeves as she walks, though they always seem to be stirred by the wind enough to not drag along the ground. When she maneuvers through combat, the flashing of the colors when her robes flutter call to mind storms, eruptions, and wildfires, and this seems to depend on her current attack. Finally, she has yellow eyes, and a mouth that seems permanently set in a faint frown, with a princesslike, regal countenance.
Background: Mitsurugi is a goddess of natural disaster from Japan, and later in her life moved to Gensokyo for her own preservation. As a member of the Yaoyoruzu no Kami, she has the ability to appear anywhere she is invoked and can create and suppress natural disasters at will given the right conditions for them to occur, and instead of requiring food sustains herself with faith. Her Gensokyo, however, was destroyed by Trespassers, and in the process she was cast out of her home universe during its death throes. . . Many of her divine abilities have degraded due to a lack of faith, but her resolve remains strong, and she is fortunate enough to possess a physical body unlike some others.
Personality: Surprisingly courteous and friendly to humans, though she often comes off as somewhat cool. She chooses her words carefully and sparingly, and speaks with gravity. She does, contrary to popular belief, possess a sense of humor, but she rarely displays it where anyone can see it. Her permanent frown doesn't help this impression, either. Unsurprisingly, she is quite sorrowful.

Disaster God's Wrath - Grants the action
Typhoon Sign "1274 & 1281 Divine Wind."Dancer on the Storms of Battle: Mitsurugi is agile and almost ethereal by nature, making it difficult to land solid strikes on her. Adds 2*DEX percent chance to dodge attacks targeted at her. This perk does not apply while she is stunned, bound, or otherwise has her mobility restricted. She is also capable of flight.
Speed of the Flickering Flames: Mitsurugi's long life and supernatural nature grant her unnatural speed. Adds her level to her DEX.
Memories of Power: Mitsurugi has vast amounts of experience and her body still remembers having far more power at some points than she does now. Her level is considered 1.3x its normal value for all purposes other than gaining SP and AP.
Equipment:
Weapon: A Sword from a Dead World (Level 8 )
Type: Melee
Properties:
Finesse - This weapon uses DEX instead of STR for attacks.
Keen - This weapon deals an additional point of damage per level.
Damage: 3d6+DEX+(Level)
Weapon: Ofuda
Type: Ranged
Properties:
Barrage Weapon - This weapon is used in barrages of dozens, if not hundreds, instead of dealing a single or small number of hits. Treats all dodges as passive damage reductions at the same percentage when used.
Sealing - This weapon has a 15% chance to inflict a "Sealed" status on enemies, disabling or weakening (20%) their magical (or equivalent) abilities for a turn. Has the same chance to deal double damage to enemies considered to be some sort of spirit, particularly evil ones. If an enemy cannot be sealed, the ofuda bursts into flame instead, dealing an extra dSYN damage.
Damage: 1d20+SYN
Armor: Disaster Goddess's Robes (Level 8 )
Type: Light
Base Defense: +2 RES
Traits:
Resistant - The divine fabric rejects foreign intrusions, granting a 5*level% (currently 40%) chance to negate status effects and debuffs inflicted on the wearer.
Description: Mitsurugi's multicolored robes. They seem to have a strange resistance to the touch, though they don't bother the wearer. Otherwise they appear to be made out of fairly mundane cloth.
Bauble: A Sheath from a Dead World
Description: The sheath for Mitsurugi's sword. It's actually fairly plain.
Traits:
Soulbound - Contains the remnants of some souls from her world. Their lingering thoughts and wishes provide her with enough faith to maintain her existence, healing at a rate slightly lower than a human average if this is her only source of faith.
Bauble: Talisman of Wounding
Description: A slip of paper with the kanji for "wound" and "disaster" written on it. Wrapped around the handle of her katana, currently.
Traits:
Curse - Weapons wrapped with this have a 15% chance to inflict a random status effect on hit.
-Bleeding: Taking 3 (unaffected by RES, does not activate passives that activate on damage) damage for 2d3 turns.
-Dazed: 50% chance to lose next turn.
-Blinded: Cannot use ranged attacks next turn.
-Weakened: Cannot use melee attacks next turn.
-Sealed
Bauble: Faith
Description: The collected devotion of her worshippers.
Traits:
Divine Power - Can provide Mitsurugi with minor stat bonuses if she accrues enough faith, determined by the GM.
Incorporeal - Cannot be stolen or otherwise removed in any way.
Basic Attack - (
Blade) Barrage: Mitsurugi attacks with a series of sword strikes or a spray of ofuda.
Basic Defense -
Graze: Mitsurugi gracefully dodges incoming ranged attacks, doubling her dodge chance (or enabling it if she's afflicted by a status that still allows her to defend) and giving her +DEX damage against any enemies she dodges, should she attack them in the next round.
Flash of Lightning (Passive) - Mitsurugi has a 25% chance to make a second attack every time she makes a basic attack, under the same modifiers as the first.
Storm Sign "Furious Tempest" - Attacks the area with a large quantity of bullets, dealing a basic ranged attack at 75% damage to every enemy in the area. A fairly simple attack, but quick and fierce.
Earth Sign "Shattering Ground" - Fires blasts of energy that restrict a target's motion, then flash-steps in with a decisive strike of her blade. Deals weapon+DEX+SYN damage, and allows Mitsurugi an additional basic attack on the victim if it moves. (Anything where the description of an enemy's action specifically mentions moving, or if it would have to have done so to execute its action, e.g. making a melee attack on someone who wasn't already in melee range.)
-Level 2: Adds SYN to the damage of this attack.
Earth and Fire Sign "Eruption" - Summons a large quantity of fiery bullets underneath the victim and blasts them upward, dealing a basic attack at 75% damage but ignoring all RES save specifically to fire, which is halved.
Fire Sign "Dancing Flame" Strikes a target while wrapping her sword in flame, making a basic attack and lowering the target's RES by half of her SYN on hit. A sudden, strong attack that leaves an opponent off-balance and vulnerable.
Last Word: "Catastrophe" - This attack is used if, and only if, Mitsurugi would be defeated by an enemy attack or status. Purges status on activation. She remains at 1 HP instead for two of her own turns on activation, negating any further damage taken until those two turns have passed. During these two rounds, she attacks with a powerful barrage of sword strikes and bullets, hitting every enemy in sight/range (if this is ever relevant) twice with the equivalent of
Storm Sign "Furious Tempest and a single enemy of her choice with two additional basic attacks. Mitsurugi cannot be healed and does not take any other actions besides pursuing a target while Catastrophe is active. On the third turn, Mitsurugi is stunned. This attack is only usable once per battle.
-Level 2: Grants a second melee attack per round.
-Level 4: Grants a second AoE attack per round.
Typhoon Sign "1274 & 1281 Divine Wind" - Mitsurugi replicates a feat from her past (though like many of her abilities, it has degraded significantly) and deals massive damage to the target area, with surging winds, water, and bolts of lightning ravaging her foes. Deals (DEX+SYN)*4 pure damage, split evenly among all enemies in the area. 5 turn cooldown.
Building Disaster (Passive) - Mitsurugi's attacks are comparable to a natural calamity themselves, building in strength, speed, and ferocity with every strike. She adds 25% of the damage she dealt on her last turn to each one made on this turn.
-Level 2: Increases damage return to 15%.
-Level 3: Increases damage return to 20%.
-Level 4: Increases damage return to 25%.
