The reason this got "flamed" and edited itself was due to the fact that it was going to be used for a Touhou-Themed RP. Though- the process of getting an OC in is fairly rigorous, usually including a lot of critique.

The primary problems we had is how this seems to "lack originality" in the case that they have literal gems that give them the ability to practically be Reimu, and can immediately restart a fight the moment things go south for them. She can deny death three times, while a large chunk of the other characters are perma-killed whenever they die once. She has resistance to existence erasure as well, because she needed that totally.

Also with the part at how the character itself for the server required a backstory explaining this, in which case there is none (as of now, though I'm aware this is a VS debate site with Fan Characters and Original Characters). Reimu's more fair due to the fact that her only two strong abilities are omnilock and various shrine maiden abilities (which are only really effective on Youkai, which are only known to be primarily dominant in Gensokyo).

Two other problems are how she has conceptual manipulation and power nullification, yet none of them are explained nor have proper weaknesses shown. Power nullification itself automatically gives her a win to any power-reliant character. The thing is- she's weak when her gems are broken, but she can easily utilize the abilities she has on hand to deal with anything that could possibly break them in the first place.

I believe its stated that Izuna is only related to Yukari as a shikigami, in which itself screws with canon lore (with only Chen and Ran being in a shikigami relationship with Yukari). Common relations with canon characters in a FC/OC's Bio is common, though it tends to annoy me as it messes with the canon itself.

The thing is- she also seems flawless physically. Compared to most other people there, she's Galaxy Level (which is comparitively stronger to most or all of them), while being able to outlast Flandre (who's easily positioned in mid-high tier). While also being physically strong, she's extremely intelligent (The main problem for me is how they have high intellect, strength and powers all at the same time).
