Touhou: Possibility of Interminable Reciprocity, or PoIR for short, is a roleplay (or RP) based on the Touhou Universe. The RP itself is a forum based format, with a flexible time line and a basis in canon. Most fandom based character interpretations are not allowed.
Despite the flexible time line there is a building plot developing and through the use of admin events the plot will be continued further. The actual setting of the RP is sometime after UFO.

Re-casting
Sometimes characters open for re-casting, which can occur due to a variety of reasons.
- If a player becomes busy they may choose to drop the character if they do not have the time to participate any longer.
- If a player is inactive for a long period of time and does not respond to any attempts to contact said player.
- If a player is removed from the game (banned) for any reason.
Here is the list of characters currently open to re-casting:
- Yuyuko Saigyouji
- Utsuho Reiuji
- Minoriko Aki
- Shizuha Aki
Alternate Characters
The moderators have subsequently agreed to let members hold alternate accounts for other characters. The rules of having such an account is to:
If you app for an alt, please understand that the alt is still available for application by a third party. You must fill out a normal application to do so, please specify that it will be an alt and list your main in the application. There will be a template below. Please only apply for an alt if you feel comfortable you’ll have enough time for both characters. If you get busy you may drop the alt at any time, no questions asked. Remember: If you apply for an alt, it is STILL OPEN to applications. Please do not forget this. Your alt and your main may interact, but do not app someone who is constantly in contact with your character. For example, Reisen cannot app Tewi.
List of Alternate Characters
- Remilia Scarlet
- Yuugi Hoshiguma
- Lunasa Prismriver
- Suwako Moriya
- Satori Komeiji
- Lyrica Prismriver
- Shikeiki Yamaxanadu
Joining the RP
Joining is fairly simple, in the Information section of the forum be sure to read all of the information. There is an application required to join, requesting you to fill out certain things about your character, including:
- Personality Traits
- Your interpretation of your character's history
- Goals
- Writing Samples
The application system is used for screening potential players in an attempt to keep the overall forum quality high. Despite that, there is a fair bit of leniency due to working under the principal that with time and in such an environment people will strive for improvement and initially borderline applications can end up being welcome additions. The application system is necessary, but not as restricting as it might seem.
You can find most of the pertinent rules and guidelines in this area of the forum here. You can also take a look at the Application Template here.
Moderation
The moderation of the board is fairly simple, mods keep an eye on anyone drifting out of character, someone participating in too many posts at once, any trouble in the IRC or on the forums as well as planning Moderator Controlled Events (MCE). The current moderators are:
- Alice Margatroid
- Fujiwara no Mokou
- Reisen Udogein Inaba
- Patchouli Knowledge
Moderator Controlled Events
Also known as "Events" or "MCE", these are events that have a pre-planned plot that the characters may choose to participate in if they wish. These events can come in many different times from simply a plot where characters active in the forum can be the heroes, to events with games and other activities that allow a chance to win various things, booth IC and OOC.
Right now there are no past events as of yet, but please check the current ongoing End of Summer Festival event here. It is a two part event starting out with games and general fun and is now in phase two, the pre-planned plot portion of the event.
