Well, did a head count for PCs. We have, thus far:

1 guy who works for a living (Hale Salts)

2 people in college (Maisie Lynn Piper, Vinnie Flynn)

1 guy between college and high school (Seth Hayate)

6 High Schoolers (Daniel Ethan Finks, Ayumi Summers, Ian Richardson, Gabriel W. Tennyson, Noel Aaron, Corentine Belisaria)

2 Reserved Arcana (no character sheets yet)

Based on the above backstories, we have at least one community college and a mall, and the six high-school PCs need to be defined if they all go to the same high school or attend six different ones (though it would help if they go to the same school, mostly for coordination purposes). Possibly a recording studio is in town, unless Mr. Salts commutes to work; would there be any specific details regarding the studio? I mean, does it also allow local garage bands to record stuff, or is it specific property of a company that hires voice actors?

I tried looking up the definition of "town", but didn't anything specific that differentiates between cities and towns. Colorado has a small population (>5.26 millions). Denver has over half a million people, but that rises to 2.5 millions if we count the greater metropolitan area, so that's a small number of people spread over quite an area. As such, Bedford probably has about 2,000-10,000 people (ideas? suggestions?).

Well i think the dungeon idea is so far great...
But, how about accessing a dungeon at a certain time instead?
Also one last thing.
How do we summon our Persona?
Evoker? Tarot Card? Persona Summoning Application (I made it up at old persona RP on BBM) ?

Cynder says the Shadows show up at midnight, so it's very likely the dungeons show up at the same time.

As for summoning method, I'd rather go with the card method in Persona 4. I mean, we already have two people who use guns so far, and it's not a good idea to have a gun and an Evoker. What if you got the two mixed up?

Other places I'd like to offer for the town:
Madame Lau's Golden Pheasant Chinese Restaurant - basically run by the elderly Madame Lam and her grandchildren. Its specialty are the fortune cookies. [Mainly if you want your fortune told. Otherwise, we can just fold it into the 'mystic shop']

The YMCA Center - an old facility, but one that's provided the town with an outlet for sports and other activities. [This is for those who don't want the school to be the center of athletic options]

Didn't make this that clear, but Corentine's gonna be a home-schooled student, since she really doesn't like leaving her house. Lol

Ah. Oh well.

Still, that leaves 5 students (assuming Daniel is finalized and accepted). So the rest of us students have to decide whether or not we're all at the same school.

Agreed, but i think it would be more good if we just came up with a new persona summoning system.
How about Takaya Sakaki summoning style?

By the way to those who want a mask.

I don't mind my character being from the same school

What, no *midnight* train? That would be a lot more fitting if you ask me.

Not familiar with Journey, believe it or not, so...

*googles it*

....huh. The damn song fits the game perfectly. Well, almost.

This may be where our Igor exists as well.

I don't think Igor would be necessary. He just showed up to those who signed a contract.

quick question, are we going to awaken our personas or are we just being thrown right into the fray

Well, Igor generally makes a contract with the "MC" of the game, and thus starts the series of events that lead to the conclusion of the game. Handling several such characters at once would be a bit more complex. However, he could still do so, though handling a group of people rather than one guy alone means he needs everyone available to tell them information so as to avoid repeating himself.

However, Igor's role need not be exclusive. He could be 'replaced' by the usual wise mystic mentor. Indeed, the biggest reason he should be in this kind of game is, well, because he's been in almost the entire series.

As for evoking the Personas, how would the masks be used? Would a glyph appear on them that we'd have to touch/activate? Or some other special effect?

Igor role is basically introduce MC to Persona ,Summoning another persona and Fusing Persona.
We all only have one persona...
So we don't really need Igor.

But a hooded traveler who tells our characters why they can summon Gods and horsemen of the apocalypse may be a good idea.

wait, wait. are we going to do social links and if so how would they work

The Social Links, I'd highly recommend. It allows the players to improve teamwork and basically helps the whole theme of "many in harmony exceed one in perfection" and "nobody is an island" which the series as a whole pushes to the fore.

Granted, they won't allow you to unlock more Personas, but they'll be necessary for facing the Final Evil and generally becoming better people.
