So; my life got hectic. Really hectic. As happens when you work in healthcare during a global pandemic and IRL happens. But it's calmed down now. I have a bit more time.
Combine this with a case of Writer's Block and you have what happened to Rumia Quest. Well; that and I think I over-complicated things for myself and ended up with too many plates, plot threads and even attempts at game systems.
Well; the last few days I've gotten that GM'ing itch again, as I get a bit more free time. And I also had an idea pop into my head.
First big different thing. I'm actually running a quest with a less obscure character who's more established in the lore and a higher-tier character. So there should be less of a need for me to start powering the character up; making new abilities and having to set limits; ect.
Second thing: Due to work pressures; don't expect daily updates, but I will try. [Holidays have me working 11/14 days however, and an 8-day on the trot section coming into it so... yeah]. But, not pressing myself like that should help avoid burnout.

> You are a being that is actually unique; to your knowledge; as a Half-Human Half-Phantom.
> This makes you a being of contradiction. You are dead and alive simultaneously. It also gives you some rather unique racial abilities and quirks.
> You are a young woman [Well; you're almost 60, but in terms of your species, you're just under 20 in full human years] with many duties. Your official title is 'Gardener' but you're also a swordplay instructor, bodyguard; maid, and general problem-solver. All of these matters you are employed by Yuyuko Saigyouji [As has your family been employed by her before you.] She; in turn, is employed by the Yamaxanadu, making the Yama technically also your superior.
> Due to your racial preferences, equipment and personal style, you focus more on speed and skill than raw power. With Roukanken; your katana [Which is almost as large as yourself] you don't need raw strength anyway, as the things the blade cannot cut are next to none. This speed and skill naturally lends yourself to being pretty formidable in danmaku fights as well, should the need arise.
> You are currently standing guard outside of Hakugyokurou, both in defense of Lady Yuyuko so no mischievous spirits annoy her [And so she doesn't annoy any unfortunate spirits...], and in the event anyone tries to approach the Saigyou Ayakashi. Ever since you and Lady Yuyuko tried to bring it into bloom, you know better than to let anyone mess around with that tree again. Besides; the Ayakashi is technically part of the garden, so you see it as your responsibility.
> Your body is split into two halves.
> The main body that most people call 'Youmu' is the humanoid one, but your phantom half floats by your side. Many affectionally call this 'Myon', but it's still you, Youmu. The phantom can fly a short distance away from you [No more than 3 meters, which is also it's tip-to-tip size. It cannot be forced further away from you either without great difficulty and pain]. Your Phantom self can interact with objects, although it lacks hands. It cannot pass through walls, because it's not a full phantom. It has no independent thought, as it is you, but it can also act separately of the main body, almost like a fifth limb.

// Understandable,and more and Modesto for explaining about "Rumia Quest", and Very Well Done for the Much More Important Real.Life(maybe sort of "Intensive Aid&Care Sanitary and Paramedic Operative and Assistant? )//
// (The Game System is Good and it has Inspired MoTK. V3,)Any Hope for a Q&A or an "Assorted Curiosites&Creativity " or similar, at some likely future point and at its proper thread, for ""Rumia Quest: Revival"//
