I will do my best to explain to my own understanding, keep in mind I am using information i have gained through said friend stated earlier and my own experience in the game. I will also provide links to each topic as I explain them.

A Persona is the manifestation of a persons inner self. We all live with a mask that we wear so we can deal with everyday life. These masks come in many forms of course and appear because we try to fit into society instead of going against it. This could be as simple as pretending to be smarter then you actually are in class or to the more extreme of blending in while having murderous impulse within a psychopath killer. However these masks are formed they are created and left deep inside our hearts where a normal person wouldn't ever reach or change.
Certain conditions need to be meet in order to even have ones mask rise to the surface. I will explain that later of course, however when one rips off their mask this is a literal sense of discarding the you that followed the rules, discarding the you that endured everything simply to fit in, and discarding of the you that you simply couldn't accept anymore. This then leads to what is known as your "persona manifestation" this causes your true self to come to the surface and fight under your command.
Their is some times known to be second awakening when you fulfill certain requirements but that will be revealed as the rp moves forward.

Arcana refers to the character themselves and is connected to a persons persona. The Arcana refer to the 22 tarot cards of the same name. The tarot or Arcana is more closely related to the person and how they act. Sometimes that Persona's fate matches that of the player character, or personality attributes, and so on, but they in some fashion need to be similar. They are big indicators of how your character acts as a person both in the real world and in the second one where your persona can manifest which will be explained another time. Think of the Arcana as a representation of your character and how they act around other people. I will write a list on the Arcana as it will be first come first serve. For now simply look through the list i will provide and make your character at the very least similar to what is described for whom you choose to be. Keep in mind that reverse tarot will be allowed.

Have you ever looked into a mirror and noticed something out of place? Did you ever wonder if those rumors about bloody Mary in the mirror or some other spirit was waiting on the other side? Their is, you just never realized it...

This is the universe where our heroes will go in order to find their killer and uncover the mystery of the killers motive.The world beyond the mirror holds the you that you hide within yourself in this world you see yourself without the mask you wear for everyone else. More often then not the mirrored you is simply a shadow of your true self however to a select few through hardship or tragedy they realize that enough is enough. When they rip off their masks in the mirror world they don't simply change they become the persona they were meant to be.


As one would expect the mirror realm is filled with "people" so to speak. They are the merely shadows of the people that they are in real life and as such hold all the anger, sadness, and emotions that would normally be hidden from view. However, for those of black hearts are what are known as the shadow mirror. These are cracks in reality where their distorted feelings conjure a world of their own making that can only be accessed by a mysterious app...

Backstory (Brief or as long as you're/I'm wanting):
Shiba had been born in the slums and had been born to an unfortunate life. His father worked hard for the family and he was a good person but that was only until his mother died of cancer. She was the anchor holding the family together and luckily Shiba was born just before it took her. He was then blamed for making his mother so weak she died. His father then blamed him for her death and became a drinker. The only thing that made him feel safe was books. His mother loved to read and as such Shiba had a small library to himself. His big sister was the sweetest person he ever knew.

Soon she was the one protecting him from his fathers drunken outbursts. He was to young to understand why he was blamed and he simply believed it. Had it not been for his sister telling him otherwise he may have killed himself. Shiba was smart and his sister got a job in order to help the family however when she left his father started to abuse him. He beat Shiba more times then he could count. However he started to hide from his sister as well so not to get her wrapped up in it. That didn't always work because she was hurt like him. At the age of 16 his sister reported abused and their father was imprisoned. They were then left under the care of Dr. Sakura and friend of their mother

For a while things were looking up. However, tragedy struck when his sister was the next one targeted by blood eyes. His guardian Dr. Kugiki Sakura did everything she could using whatever medicines she could get her hands on but it simply wasn't enough. When she died Shiba kept to himself never leaving his solitude. However he was constantly sought out by people who needed help. He considered a "consultant" to many fields from medicine, to investigation, and even science and engineering. He poured over every bit of information so he wanted to take down blood eyes, he simply had no courage to do it himself.

Full Name:
Felix Volpe

Alias:
Kitsune

Gender:
Male

Age:
17

Birthday:
7th of November

Written Appearance:
Felix stands at 4'11, and has a lithe build. The main phrase people think when they see him is Fox, as his features are quite vulpine. This isn't helped by Felix deliberately growing his red hair so that it looks like he has fox ears, and that his ears are covered by the bangs. His eyes are amber coloured, though it's rare to see them as his eyes are normally slit in a vulpine way.
In his day to day life, he wears a green long-sleeved shirt, jeans cut off just below the knees and a pair of sandals.
In the mirror world, his outfit changes to something resembling a shinto priest. A white shitagi covered by an red kosode and hakama, held up by an orange obi, over which he wears a orange haori with a fox head on the back. Over his face forms a white fox mask. On his feet, he wears his regular sandals. He comes equipped with a staff and a pistol.

Personality:
Felix is a fox in human skin, at least according to his friend Raphael. While he is a trickster, he is not a bully who messes with people because he can. Instead, he reserves his cunning mind for those who irritate him. He is friendly enough to people, but doesn't really let people in easily. Those he does let in are friends for life, unless they commit a grave betrayal against him.

Likes:
Card Games, Travelling, Pizza

Dislikes:
Needles, Boredom

Arcana Representation:
Fortune

Relationships:
Raphael Phobos, his best friend and main confidant in the investigation. He is aiming to study medicine, and provides treatment when Felix gets in over his head.

Who did the blood eye terrorist kill?:
Odin Stone, Felix's former guardian and father figure.

Backstory:
Felix was orphaned at a young age, his mother dying in childbirth and his father dying in a plane crash as he returned from a business trip. Felix was raised by Odin Stone, a friend of his father's. They spent alot of Felix's youth travelling for Odin's work, whatever that was Felix never learned, before Odin was finally comfortable enough to retire. This travelling gave Felix access to several cultures, and gave him an appreciation for how big the world actually is.

When they finally settled down, around 8 years ago, Felix encountered his future best friend Raphael. The two initially didn't get on, with Felix being too free and Raphael being too rigid, but the two bonded over their love of foreign cultures.

Though the two decided on different paths for their studies, Raphael decided on medicine, while Felix decided on history. The idea of a travelling archaeologist appealed greatly to the youth, particularly after he watched the three Indiana Jones Movies. (Yes, there are only three, what are you talking about?)

When the letter came, Felix was initially sceptical, but the news reports soon convinced him. When the illness hit, Felix and Raphael took time off school to try and help his guardian, to little avail. After his death, the usually carefree Felix was incredibly serious.

"Raphael, we are going to stop this guy. For Odin."
