Species

Gooey-

These creatures have bodies of slime, sticky or loose on a whim, and while they aren't inherently toxic, they fare better than most in messy environments (Mud, goop and rain).
They can be picky at times with how their food is prepared though, which is understandable as a literal matter of life or death.

Bullet Artist (Touhou, Len'en, etc.)

Be it human, monster, or even god, these individuals are ones who see soaring through the air and creating waves of colorful yet powerful bullet curtains as the norm.
Though the specifics may vary, they'll almost always be up for giving you a beautiful (yet painful) showcase.

[Class Archetype]

+1 Spirit or +1 Courage, -1 Heart

Add

+ Athletics (Flight)

Efficient (Bullet-Barrages)

Once per Battle, when hit with an Attack that would K.O. you, make a Magic or Perform check: Great!: Negate the Attack, and use a technique as a free action. The technique's cost is considered doubled for this use, and must cost more than 0 FP (and must be payable), but can also be an MP-costing technique from a spell card [Elive] in your inventory (The spell card is used up for this, but is not triggered fully). If neither apply, the attack still goes through.

Weakness (Air, Aerial)
You must make a Steady check versus Disorientation (1), lasting a number of turns equal to the damage taken (minimum 1 turn).
