I AM THOU, THOU ART I.

These words are the first step in awaking the true self. The power that sleeps within the chosen few of mankind, those with the strength of will to make their mark.

Where once the Metaverse and the Real World were kept separate, machinations by entities long-since forgotten by man have sought to fuse the two so they may manifest. Usually, a special individual called a trickster would arise to take on such a threat, and save the world at cost to themselves. This time, however, the door to the Velvet Room never appeared to such a person. The entities are about to enact their plan, and the world as most know it is about to come to an end.

However, this does not have to mean the end of the world, or the end of humanity. In times of crisis, those with the strength of heart will rise to make their mark, to defend the people they care about, and to maybe, just maybe, save the world.

The Velvet Room calls to you. Will you answer?





This is a concept I’ve had for a while, but this is my first time trying to implement it. Effectively, the story would follow a ragtag group of people who awaken to their Personas not long after the effective end of the world. This whole thing was inspired by a mix of the Persona series, and SMT Devil Survivor. I plan on setting it in a major American city (such as Washington DC or New York City) instead of Tokyo, but I’m willing to change that if people would prefer otherwise.

For clarification, the PCs wouldn’t be Tricksters. They’d each have a Persona and a Second Awakening, maybe a Third Awakening if you’d like. This is to help keep the party members distinct, and to avoid one player becoming the main character by being the only Trickster like it normally is with Persona.

Additionally, I would allow for you to make your own Persona if you so choose. Alternatively, you could pick a couple out from the hundreds of different Personas from across the games. Here’s a couple things to note for that:

A: Personas don’t have to maintain what they are consistently depicted with. You could have a Giramikala who’s a magic attacker with a vulnerability to physical attacks for all I care.

B: Keep it within reason. Unless you’re alright with it getting significantly nerfed from it’s in-game counterparts, don’t go picking Personas like Satan, Messiah, Izunagi-No-Okami, Satenial, etc.

Would anyone be interested in a game like this?

I'm interested. :)

I love the Persona series. <3 I haven't written anything in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. But I wanted to express my interest!

I'll get a CS drafted once there's a few more folks interested.

Now that this is starting to get at least some interest, let me give y'all a CS to fill out. Also, if there are any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to ask.

How many players do you need to get the game running? When will the OOC Thread be posted?

Will there be a Discord Server?

I want a minimum of four, but can run with more.

OOC Thread will probably be posted after I've got said four or more people.

And I don't intend on having a Discord server, but if people want one I can make one.

Nice; I'm currently tired out from waking up in the middle of the night, so I can't work on my sheet rn.

Is there any particular element set or game logic we're following?
Or will it be a bit open to narrative interpretation?

Man, a Persona/SMT story is right up my alley. Consider me tentatively interested; I'll start working on a CS and see where that gets me.

Roughly how long will it have been since the apocalypse happened? Will we be dealing with the immediate fallout, or will the story begin a few months/years in?

As of the start, the world is moments away from ending. So you'll be dealing with the immediate fallout.

Regarding the info you want for the sheets:
Do you want real-life images for characters? Or are anime/art pictures allowed?
Could we use existing characters in the Persona/SMT world? Or would you prefer original characters?
How long do you want character history to be?
Is the Persona allowed only one focus? Or could there be a major/minor focus thing going on? (Like a major focus on Guns, and a minor focus on buffing for example.)

I hope I'm not bombarding you with questions!

Anime/Art pictures are allowed and encouraged.

I would prefer original characters.

Character history should probably be between one and four paragraphs.

I should've specified that, but yes you're allowed a major and minor focus. Additionally, you get your elemental magic regardless of your focus, though it's up to you how much you actually use it.

I've got a character sheet drafted! Figure I'll wait until the OOC is up to post it. Is it alright if I have both an initial Persona and a Second Awakening Persona on there (for future reference, not to start with), or should I wait to add the second one if/when a second Awakening happens for my character?

It's up to you.

Also, I'll get the OOC up sometime tomorrow, seeing as we should have enough people to get started.
