Abilities and Fighting Style:
* Magical Abilities:
o Manipulation of mushrooms and mushroom growth- Mycen can cause mushrooms to appear and rapidly grow on any surface he touches, and he can control the types and properties of mushrooms that he creates. More mushrooms appear the longer he is in contact with the surface, with those closer to him growing faster and those further away growing slower. He can also cause mushrooms to appear from a distance but these will grow at a natural rate until he touches the surface they are on.
If Mycen places mushrooms on an unsuitable surface they will wither and die instantly as soon as he stops touching the surface. Mushrooms grown on objects or beings with more powerful magic than Mycen's will also die immediately even if he is still touching their surface.
Finally, Mycen is able to alter all properties of naturally growing mushrooms, including their size, shape, taste and medicinal values. He can only impart magical properties that he has previously encountered and he cannot produce magic mushrooms that are more powerful than himself.
* Physical abilities:
o Mycen's strength is below average for a Youkai and is comparable to that of a normal fairy. He is also quite clumsy on the ground. However, he is an extremely agile flier who is equally efficient with both magic based flight and his wings.
* Weapons:
o Mycen does not use any weapons besides what he is forced to pick up and he has little if any proficiency with them.
* Fighting style: Mycen primarily fights using danmaku, only using his mushroom manipulation if he needs it to gain an advantage over his opponent. He has several types of shots and a handful of spellcards.
o Shots:
- A white energy orb that lingers in place for two seconds, growing to three times its original size before flying towards Mycen's target at a medium speed. The orbs do the most damage when they are first released and become weaker as they grow. This is the shot type that Mycen can produce with the least effort and while he can only create one orb at a time, he can fire them off fairly rapidly.
- A red energy orb that lingers in place for ten seconds, growing to twenty times its original size before shrinking to a point and exploding into a random spray of red bullets. This orb is at its most dangerous once it reaches point size and it also loses power during its growth stage. In addition, if it is shot during the growth stage it will disappear immediately. Mycen can only maintain three at a time but he can place them anywhere within his field of vision.
- A blue energy orb that sweeps in an arc in front of him five times, releasing a wave of small blue bullets each time. Every pass takes about two seconds and Mycen cannot fire any other shots until the attack ends, but he can produce a new blue orb as soon as the previous one disappears.
o Spellcards:
- [Deadly Fungus: Fly Agaric]
Allows him to fire off a combination of a loose spiral of red bullets and a random spray of white bullets. He can use this combination attack three times before the spellcard ends but he must do so within thirty seconds.
- [Moonlight Illusion: Fairy Ring]
Causes a ring of twelve brilliant white mushrooms to grow on a surface that Mycen chooses. The mushrooms release clouds of small white bullets that drift slowly upwards for thirty seconds, after which all of them wither and disappear. Unlike Mycen's regular mushrooms these will last for thirty seconds even on an unsuitable surface and they can only grow on a surface that is large enough to fit the whole ring.
- [Mystery: Ancient spores]
Causes up to ten large white puffball mushrooms to grow in mid-air, each reaching up to six feet across over five seconds before exploding in a spherical spray of small white bullets. The mushrooms can be destroyed by firing at them before they reach maximum size, which causes them to explode with fewer bullets. Each mushroom appears near to an opponent's position (they cannot overlap) and is harmless until it explodes. All unexploded mushrooms wither and disappear after thirty seconds.
- [Last Resort: Saprophytism]
Gathers energy from all mushrooms in the area, withering them in the process, and fires it in a beam. The strength and size of the beam depend on the number of mushrooms drained. Mycen has yet to use this card due to his love of mushrooms and the lack of large mushroom patches in Gensokyo.
* Strengths
o Fairly decent danmaku
o Highly agile and has excellent flying skills
o Low magic consumption for regular shots
* Weaknesses
o Pathetic physical abilities
o No weapon or martial art skills
o Poor tactical sense
History:
Mycen hails from old England, being one of the sprites whose task was to prepare fairy circles for the Fair Folk's full moon dances. Man's increasing use of iron, the spread of organized religion and the beginning of Enlightenment thinned out the fae population, causing many to migrate to less developed corners of the world, but Mycen's clan remained fairly isolated from these developments for better or for worse.
Eventually the dances stopped and boredom soon prompted the Sprite to look for work or adventures elsewhere. The winds took him to Gensokyo and across the Border, and he has never looked back.
