Scarlet Devil Mansion

The Scarlet Devil Mansion (usually abbreviated as SDM) is a major character in Shifting Worlds, roleplayed by the player also known as SDM.

Nature
The Scarlet Devil Mansion is originally derived from the Touhou Project series, but the version that appears in the roleplays is significantly different. Notably, he is sentient and sapient. His "soul", which inhabits the mansion "body" and can reshape its interiors at will, was created by Patchouli Knowledge through the use of demonology.

Originally, manipulation of matter inside himself was SDM's only power, however he eventually came to the attention of the multiversal corporation KIzeki Corp, spearheaded by a deity of time, Kizeki Auf Thanatos. Kizeki saw fit to upgrade SDM with mechanical parts (against his will), and though some of those have since been removed, enough remain to allow for locomotion and combat.

Personality
SDM is, simply put, a jerk. His pre-Hellgate incarnation was aggressive, while his post-Hellgate incarnation is more cowardly and prefers to avoid combat by way of fleeing into space, but all incarnations of him are very abrasive and despise contact with essentially anyone who is not one of his residents and a few very rare friends.

When it comes to said residents and friends, however, and when it really comes down to it, SDM shows an undying loyalty and amazing courage, willing to put his life on the line and even throw it away for their sake if necessary. In addition, he has a soft spot for his creator Patchouli Knowledge, with whom he has a very close friendship with some romantic undertones (though no actual physical relationship can exist between the two due to SDM's nature).

As a sidenote, SDM also has an extreme hatred of gods, and by extension any people in positions of power who abuse their power. This puts him at odds with Arachna and sometimes with Arachnos.

Powers and abilities
SDM's body contains immense mechanical legs and arms, as well as a small army's worth of arsenal, which can be deployed at will to give him a mecha-like appearance. SDM's transformed form is usually referred to as "PWM", or "Patchouli War Machine". When transformed, SDM is capable of moving, flying (including into space), and fighting. His signature weapons are his Hadron Cannons, which fire massive blasts of powerful energy, but he possesses a multitude of other weapons of both bigger and smaller calibre, including automatic guns and missiles.

SDM is able to warp the insides of himself at will. This is useless against an outside threat, but extremely powerful against enemies inside of him.

He also has the ability to project his soul in a physical, humanoid form, though it is incapable of combat.
