CHARACTER NAME: Eternity Larva
CHARACTER SOURCE: Touhou Project
CHARACTER HISTORY: Eternity will be grabbed a month after her latest appearance in the 10th chapter of Visionary Fairies in Shrine. The full history is provided in spoilers:
[spoiler]Eternity Larva is a butterfly fairy who represents metamorphosis. As all fairies are immortal manifestations of nature’s aspects, she is essentially the embodiment of a butterfly’s life cycle. While others of her kind pursue different hobbies like pranking, she stands out for being somewhat calm. This also means she doesn’t get into much conflict, and each passing day is almost certainly the same routine.
Eternity lives in Gensokyo, though nobody’s really sure if she's a native of the fantastic land, or if she "passed into fantasy" like others have. When spring arrives, she spends her free time wandering the Garden of the Sun, which is really just a fancy name for a big field of sunflowers. The place is packed with territorial sunflower fairies, so colorful danmaku duels are a common sight. When looking for fun, she may decide to join in the ruckus, though simply hanging out with friends, like the ice fairy Cirno, isn’t out of the question. She’s aware of the more famous resident and has actually seen her from afar. However, anyone who senses her ominous aura and immense strength would know better than to get close.
By late fall, she migrates to her underground hideout in the Forest of Magic. This is because she hates the cold, and butterfly fairies like her have nothing to do in winter anyway. Inside there, she can be seen sitting around, or simply sleeping the cold snow away.
One midsummer day, an obscure, mysterious goddess named Matara decided to stir things up in Gensokyo. She tasked her servants, Satono and Mai, with bringing out the full potential of the fantastic land’s residents. However, fairies aren't exactly the most “mentally prepared” for being overwhelmed with energy, so they went berserk and started throwing off the balance of nature. When one place was covered in a relentless blizzard, another was brimming with cherry blossom petals. This was the beginning of the Four Seasons incident.
Eternity was no exception, being a fairy herself. It was very exciting to suddenly have such unbelievable power, to the point that she often lashed out at anyone she saw. Eventually, her rampage was halted after confronting four powerful individuals who wielded the very seasons. Even the shrine maiden Reimu, who beats down gods for a living, noted that fairies weren’t this strong, and made the connection to the out-of-control seasons.
The season-wielders eventually found a strange new place, the Land of Backdoors. After being intercepted by Matara’s servants, the crazy backup dancers, the four people challenged the secret goddess to battle (for their own personal reasons, of course) However, their powers were stolen by Matara, and were kicked out of her dimension not long after.
While Cirno, the summer-wielding ice fairy, was talking to Eternity about her long journey of proving herself the strongest in the land, she noticed a door on Eternity’s back which was bringing out her immense power. Out of curiosity, she entered the door only to find herself in the Land of Backdoors yet again. Cirno now wielded the power of doyou, the intermediary “fifth” season. After joining forces with the season-wielders who found their own way to collect this power, they were finally able to take down Matara as absorbing this fifth season was out of the goddess’s domain. The incident then quietly came to a close as the seasons returned to their normal pace.
Not much happened after that. She managed to befriend a fairy from hell and, learning from the recent incident, showed her newfound ability to control unstable lifeforce. However, as spring was finally about to arrive, she woke up not in her home, but in a strange void. That was her first confrontation with the being known as Omni.[/spoiler]
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: [spoiler]
![[Image: PqZFg1r.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/PqZFg1r.jpg)
[/spoiler] Eternity Larva appears as a girl who is quite young. Her height only reaches about 4 feet. She has short turquoise hair crowned with leaves, and light caramel eyes. A prominent feature is her yellow osmeterium: a large, flexible two-pronged “antenna” that protrudes from her hair. She has butterfly wings with a wingspan similar to her height, with mostly yellow scales and a mix of brilliant blue and purple patches near the end. They’re more like accessories, though; breaking them wouldn’t hurt or impair her, and they seem to regenerate holes and tears irrespective of her actual body. Lepidopterists will say she resembles a swallowtail butterfly.
Eternity wears a black shirt with short sleeves resembling her wings, and blue scales running down the left side. Big leaves obscure the bottom half of her shirt, an allusion to the leaf-like chrysalis of a butterfly. She wears a green skirt with two shaky black lines and a line of white spots, resembling an Asian swallowtail caterpillar. Other than that, she wears nothing on her arms or feet.
STATS:
ATK: 2
DEF: 2
SPD: 3
TEC: 3
STARTING PROFICIENCIES: Ranged Proficiency (1000)
STARTING POWERS: Flight (1800), Super Speed (1000)
STARTING MOVES:
Danmaku Scales (300), requires Ranged Proficiency
After a charging period of 2 seconds at half speed or below, 6 scale shards in 3 symmetrical pairs emerge one after another from Eternity’s wings, in the span of one second. The volley first shoots wide at her target, narrowing until the last pair is directly aimed. A glowing, vibrant green energy field covers each shard, measuring 50cm in length by 25cm in width. On contact, the field discharges in the form of kinetic energy, acting similarly to a punch with a force appropriate for her ATK and charging period. Each projectile can travel 30 meters in 3 seconds before petering out, reverting back into benign scales.
This move has a high short-term drain and the strain will begin to affect Eternity starting with 3 sustained uses, at which point she’ll have to wait a few seconds for it to subside. However, the long-term drain is fairly light and can be used many times in a single battle before really tiring her out.
Butterfly Sign “Minute Scales” (600), Tier 1 Super Utility
A spell card which imbues Eternity with great magical energy, allowing her to briefly bypass her natural limits. Minute Scales temporarily negates the charging period and energy drain of Danmaku Scales, only being limited by its 1 second execution time. This allows Eternity to use that particular move very rapidly in a 10-second period. When the trance ends, however, she is afflicted with high long-term drain that leaves her out of breath, regardless of her actions within that period.
Basic Life-force Control (0), Fodder Move
Thanks to the time she went berserk, Eternity knows a thing or two about manipulating life-force. She wields a very limited ability to control nearby unstable sources of life energy, including but not limited to withering life, forest miasma, and fires of life-force. She can then scatter it around, which others can feel as a warm, “summer-like” aura. Any surrounding plant life would begin to grow rapidly, even regrowing missing leaves. However, Eternity can’t manipulate or affect thicker pools of life-force like people, healthy animals or plants, unless they shape it into something she can use. It also can’t be used in the middle of combat, as it requires her to be fairly calm to use the ability.
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct. Mhmm.
