A youkai activist is a youkai fighting in the Human-youkai conflict. It is a general term to refer to a non-wicked youkai who has made the decision of arming themselves in order to fight in the conflict and participate to the war in one of the myriad sub-factions, activist groups and teams that have formed and organized themselves.
In order to be eligible to the status of youkai activist, and not just be a sympathizer to the youkai activist cause, one must be a non-wicked youkai capable of using weapons and carrying load-bearing gear. If those conditions are met, then that youkai can become an activist.
Overview
Most often, a youkai activist group bands together to defend sectors in which they live in, or coordinate themselves into skirmishes where the objective is almost invariably attacking Maze Soldiers. More rarely, hardcore activist groups attack humans indiscriminately, fueling the racial aspect of the conflict.
Youkai activists are distinguished from their noncombatant brethren as a subtype of their respective species, by noting that they all have default equipment. It is typically:
- One random weapon
- Two full magazines for this weapon (or equivalent), if applicable
- One random piece of load-bearing gear + a default belt
- A mobile phone, generally with a full battery, which they can use to make a backup call.
Youkai activists are notable for their frequent use of backup calls. Much like Soldiers or Guards, a youkai activist can use their mobile phone to request assistance.
- Backup summoned: Two random youkai activists with their default equipment (see above)
- ETA: 1d3+1 turns
- Cooldown period (can't call again for backup after they arrive): 15 turns.
