paeoniaoxylon: (cheering from the peanut gallery)
AAAAAH after no updates since August, there are new chapters up at MangaFox. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED.

Spoilers...? DOES ANYONE READ THIS BUT ME?? )

TL;DR I AM EXCITED
paeoniaoxylon: (tsk tsk youngsters these days)
Since a wiki article does not exist for this canon, this is for the off-chance any of this extra stuff ever comes up in conversation. Might also be helpful for future canonmates to gather information from too. [nudge nudge wink wink]

to be updated foreverrr )
paeoniaoxylon: (mudcake is on the menu)
Still in the middle of making more icons and stuff but I just wanted to let the fans (all of the ...three of you?) know that SENGOKU YOUKO FINALLY HAS A TV TROPES PAGE, AWWW YEAH!

[ Shakuyaku • 芍薬 ] 'Chinese peony' ; also called the "flower minister" to the tree peony's "flower king"

[ Kagan • 火岩 ] 'fire' 'rock/crag' ; 岩 is not a kanji I have seen before but given the context and its usage throughout the series, it might be an anarchiac way of writing it? :\

[ Shakugan ⚛ 灼岩 ] 'miraculous' 'rock/crag' ; note that 灼 is a combination of 火 and 芍 (without the top radical)



[ paeoniaoxylon ]

"Paeonia" - from the genus Paeonia, which consists of peonys.

"-oxylon" - supposedly used as a suffix for extinct petrified wood fossils(?), such as with Palmoxylon (petrified palmwood) and Araucarioxylon arizonicum.

Petrifed wood - literally "wood turned into stone" ... It is the result of a tree having turned completely into stone by the process of permineralization. All the organic materials have been replaced with minerals ... while retaining the original structure of the wood.

Name: Shakugan, but they can also go by their original names, so there's Shakuyaku (human) and Kagan (demon)

Age: mid-to-late teens
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Medical Info: Probably a bit unhealthy given that Shakuyaku was living as a peasant in ancient Japan before the Dangaishu fused Kagan into her. On the other hand, she's shown to outdrink this beast of a monk with no sign of stopping. I actually think that, given the merge with Kagan enhanced her strength and senses and all, it also fortified her immune system quite a bit.

Eyes: green
Hair: red
Physical traits: Uh. Busty? :D; Also super strength and such.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Preferably nothing after the events of Chapter 18 would be great, which is when I'm actually taking them from, but this is assuming anyone has actually read Sengoku Youko besides about three other people.

Abilities: Is capable of transforming her arms and legs into huge rocky versions. Seems to have above average strength and endurance, which increases when she transforms. Also capable of firing lasers from her hands while transformed. Presumably she's also able to switch into full-demon form, but we don't see that happen after her introduction.
Notes for the Psychics: ~TWO SOULS~ exist in this body, and they'll feel like a mix of human and demon, probably. Generally Shakuyaku is in control, probably because it's her body. Neither of them are sure what they are (human, demon, both or neither) so there'll be a lingering confusion/sadness (Shakuyaku calls herself a "monster" once), but there's no malevolence to speak of. However, they have killed before, at LEAST an entire village, during a period of basically going berserk.

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Talk to me about it. It'd be interesting though. >8D
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Hugging yes, kissing ...well, Kagan will think you're weird (as a rock demon, kissing is probably a pretty foreign thing), but Shakuyaku will get super-flustered and then Kagan might take over and scold you.
Maim/Murder/Death: ... Hurr. PM me please. |D
Cooking: She's implied to be cooking for the others and she talks about making food for a former enemy once, so Shakuyaku is probably pretty decent, but only for food they would have had in ancient Japan. This could change though. As indicated in the app, Kagan would just give you mud tea and mud dumplings like the rest of his people usually do to guests IT'S REALLY GOOD YOU KNOW.

Other: As mentioned above, Shakugan is taken from after Chapter 18.
