Anyone who's met this girl before probably knows that she likes sewing. And making dolls...but not regular dolls, mind you! Living, flying, hit 'em too hard and they EXPLODE dolls! And you know what? She wants to make these kinds of dolls based on your characters! Next week, she'll start making open phone calls and leaving flyers around town describing what she wants to do, so everyone is welcome!
So here's the rundown: Kreutzer's dolls are capable of independent thought and personality. For the ones she makes of other characters, she will mirror their personalities to the best of her abilities, but that's not all they can do!
Since Kreutzer is from one of those fancy shmup games that clog your screen with bullets, each of her dolls have some sort of attack style based solely off of that, but that doesn't mean she can't branch out! I mean, look at all of the
types she can make! So really, if your character can do it, she can make her dolls do it, too.
Most, if not all, of her dolls share a few characteristics with each other. For example:
Flight: Yup, they fly. Everywhere. Speed and maneuverability differ from doll to doll; this will be the same for the ones she'll create based on your characters.
Danmaku (bullet patterns): That stuff all the touhou girls use to fight each other. Since Kreutzer's not from there, there's no guarantee that her world's danmaku is just as non-lethal. Teehee! But yeah, the dolls don't have to shoot bullets if you don't want them to; you want swords? Done. Vacuum cleaners? Got it. As long as it makes sense with your character, it can be done.
planeshifts: Her canon's equivalent of "bullet time," or time slowing down to allow for dramatic action dives so people can actually see the bullets fly. However, the one who triggers the planeshift is immune to being slowed down, so to the user, it's like everything else slowed down while they can move normally. Pretty awesome stuff, huh?
Kamikaze bombs: Remember when I said if you hit them too hard, they'd explode? I wasn't kidding. The dolls have devastating bombs built into them; the strength and radius of the explosion will vary from doll to doll, but yeah, pretty dangerous stuff. Ask Kreutzer's not!husband, Hajime; he's felt the blunt of them the most. Very few dolls would be able to trigger them at will, but if the doll doesn't feel threatened, it is possible for them to withhold on blowing themselves up on physical contact. Hugs and stuff won't be a problem, but punching one or hitting one with a blunt instrument? No bueno. But things like ranged attacks, magic, bullets, blades and things of that sort can destroy the doll without triggering their bombs. The character can request that their doll not have a bomb in it, if they'd prefer; Kreutzer won't mind!
For an idea on how Kreutzer can make custom dolls, feel free to take a look at
this thread. It's not really in an organized format, but it's pretty much what Kreutzer can do. And once again, here's a link to the
canon dolls she can make, in case you'd like a reference.
If you're interested in signing up your character(s) for this, then fill out this really easy form!
ICly, Kreutzer will be gathering all volunteers outside her home where she will demonstrate what her dolls are capable of. They won't hurt anyone, but expect the presentation to look like
this, except without Kreutzer's involvement. But while onlookers will be distracted by the dolls, she'll bring people over one at a time to a machine she's been working on for the good part of a few weeks: it pretty much emits a constant planeshift to those immediately close to it. From there, Kreutzer will speak to your character, ask questions and get to know them better, but it will happen so quickly, anyone watching would be in disbelief! And after Kreutzer finishes the character's doll, she'll send it to them and they can keep it, free of charge! She might start charging for additional dolls, so take care of yours!
OOCly, I'll personally tend to each doll and their abilities as best as I can, so I apologize if it takes me a long time to come up with something, but rest assured I won't leave any character behind! I plan on starting this event next week after the poison joke event; during that week, I'll put up a log where Kreutzer will hold her gathering and after that.
So if you have any questions, feel free to post it here! I'll answer all of them as soon as I can!
