Something strange is happening in Takehaya city. There has been an astonishing growth of people with mental disorders, one in particular, to be honest. The Lhermitte Effect. This mental disorder is characterized by the heavy hallucinations, both visual and auditive, that the victims suffer and those hallucinations, more often than not, make the victims become extremely aggressive. In later stages, patients can't even distinguish between reality and hallucination. Scientist and medics have tried to blame it all on the several factories present on the city, which constantly emit fumes, and said fumes are what scientists are trying to put all the blame into, saying that they damage the brain and produce the initial hallucinations. However, that is completely wrong. Little is the amount of people who actually know what is going on, and most of them are classified as mentals with the Lhermitte Effect.
There's one time of the day, unbeknown to most, but very familiar for some. The Hour of Reflection. A time where the floor of the whole city becomes a giant mirror and reflects the splitting image of the city and its inhabitants. Well, of course, it IS a mirror. However, when people look into it and make out the details they find out it is not a mere reflection, but rather a world of its own. Buildings are deformed, the streets looks ravaged, the pole lights are flickering restlessly. It looks as if something had happened in that world, and their inhabitants seem to have been affected by that same event in an equal manner, for they aren't even human, but they are more like blob like creature which only now how to crawl. These beings are the Shadows. During the Hour of Reflection, the Shadows can leave their side and attack humans, and their mere presence in our world turns everything upside down, deforming the real city as their own world is right now and, unfortunately, normal humans cannot do a thing about them, they can just run. Their suffering is relieved after the Hour of Reflection is over, however, contrary to what someone would think because of its name, it can last for hours, or, in the contrary, can last for a few minutes, and there's no way of knowing when it will happen nor when it will end.
That is the real cause of the Lhermitte Effect, people being chased by Shadows while they warp what's on the real world is bound to mess up your mind. Does who can experience the Hour of Reflection, however, may encounter one of the most fearsome enemies in the Mirror World. Themselves. If someone is unlucky enough to encounter their reflection during the Hour of Reflection, they have most likely run out of options. Their other selves are extremely powerful Shadows, and what is more fearful, they are sentient and they know everything about their original selves, even their most deep secrets and fears. Even if, unlike the other Shadows, they don't move on pure instinct, they still have just one objective, to kill their other self. But it doesn't end there, after killing the original, they obtain the ability to stay in the real world and their sole presence is something extremely bad for humans, since their power will start to transform their surroundings into a deadly trap for humans, filled with Shadows, which normal humans cannot perceive, but can still be attacked by. This only makes the number of cases of the Lhermitte Effect increase, and a number of Shadows have already passed to our side.
It is obvious that without someone that does something about it, the city will end up in chaos. However, countermeasures are already under way. In Tsukiyama Academy, several high school students have shown some of the initial symptoms of the Lhermitte Effect, but not many speak openly about it. A rumour that is going around says that the school has something to do with it. Maybe that is indeed the case, regardless, some of this students have been experiencing the effects of the Lhermitte Effect, or phrased better, they have been experiencing the Hour of Reflection. Without someone to help them, all they can do is hide. But that will change soon enough.
Welcome, to the Velvet Room
That's that for the intro, now some things before we can jump into IC (apart from some CS's). Firstly, some rules.
We good? Good. Now, some elements we'll be carrying into this RP. The Velvet Room will be here, however, players will be invited at random and cannot go in and out of it, as the Persona MC's. We'll also have Evokers, but they will be more than just guns, it can be anything that brings out an emotion strong enough and a feeling of self-preservation, I dunno, maybe the photo of someone they love or something. Social Links are a thing here, however, they will help develop your Persona and your character, some can be with PC's or with NPC's. (Credit of idea to Lionheart)
And a list of Arcana, so you know which to pick and which has already been taken. Remember, two people per Arcana. Here, the site for Arcana. In case you wanna see the meaning.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING ONE MORE CS! Due to overcrowding and me wanting to have an even number of players.Any other CS after this last one will be put in a waiting list.
