[IntCheck] Persona - Academic Akrasia

[Crimmy]

Man this certainly blew up! I was lurking around yesterday, but decided to look more into the different Arcana and tinker with character ideas before stating my interest.

Anyway, is there room for one more? I have ideas for either the Emperor or the Magician if they haven't been claimed yet.

@Sarcelle Renard

Depending on whether or not they are definitely in for this, Emperor might or might not be taken, but Magician's in the clear.

@Crimmy
Okay, I changed Bless to Holy. I will finish Ryoma's backstory later today.
Also I changed his moveset around to be more supportive, now I'm curious which set of ailments will you be using?
Will you use Persona 5's? or Persona 4's?

@Bornlucky

IIRC, the ailments are pretty much the same for every SMT. Given you've got both physical and mental ailment heals covered, that's pretty much the whole set isn't it?

On the Bless thing, I didn't actually notice that they renamed Light and Dark to Bless and Curse for Persona 5; they've always been stuck in my mind as "those subcategories of Light" from Persona 1. But yeah, I guess making it Holy would be less confusing with all the terminology changes.

@Crimmy Alrighty then, I'll get to work on the Magician then!

@Crimmy

Eh, it's a bit of a work in progress, though I may have made some minor changes to the format of your app... one of which is that I need to figure out if a specific weapon can be utilized or not. Here's what I currently have (note, don't expect him to be Japanese).

Alexander Furst

Profile

Name:
Alexander Furst

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Arcana:
Emperor

Appearance:
Alexander is a lean, mean, somewhat muscle and irritable machine that stands broadly up at a height of 187 cm, and weighs about 75.75 kg. This guy is usually seen will dull, despondent, very dark brown eyes that could be comparable to dead coals. Often, there is seldom a smile on his face as it's either dominated by either a frown or scowl, followed by furrowed brows. While it is difficult to see, Alex does have a bit of a tan with nearly indistinguishable tan lines at his waistline. Along with that, he has short, jet black hair that is somewhat messy.

His casual duds consists of a black jacket with a fur trimming around the collar. It's customized with a red bandana wrapped around the upper arm, though to Alex, he says it's just there to hide the tear on it. Along with that, other than his usually dreary colors of black shoes and pants, the guy sports a white shirt and very sparingly wears a red time. Sometimes he switches between the tie and jacket, wear both, or neither at all.

Personality:

Biography:

Skills:

- Amateur Author: Alexander can be very... secretive when it comes to his notebooks he carries around, more so on the stuff he writes in that don't pertain to notes. These are usually filled with fanfictions, stories, and even a little bit of smut.

- Ballin': For the younger part of his life and onward, Alexander has played basketball with his friends, as well as for his middle school team. Though, ever since he moved out of the States, Alex is a little out of practice.

- Do You Even Lift: During his time in Japan, Alex has made sure to keep himself in top condition, even with the expectations set by his mother and father. He isn't doing this to have a brand spankin' body, he just wants to stay healthy.

- Sketchy: He probably inherited this from his father's side, but Alex has somewhat of a penchant for drawing. While he isn't adept at paints and such, his talent lies more towards pencils - sketching, hatching, shading, whatnot.

- Take Aim: Before moving to Japan, whenever Alexander's mother had time to spare, she would take the young man to a shooting range. While she usually did it to alleviate stress, when he was brought in, Alexander found another source of entertainment... and became a fairly proficient shooter. Though, like his talents in basketball, they have waned ever since he moved to Japan.

@Crimmy

Okay, that's good to hear.

Yeah, I noticed that and that and grew an odd but fast attachment to Bless and Curse spells. But yeah Holy would be for best.

EDIT:

Ryoma is done!

[chukklehed]

I think it's probably time to move this to an OOC don't you?

[AdmrlStalfos19]

So... I'm considering putting my Tower girl's age at around 18 or 19, on the condition that she failed a key subject that would've otherwise got her into tertiary education (I'm imagining that Japanese would be one of such subjects, but I wouldn't know what else could possibly be on the list of "must-haves" for Japanese culture in particular.) Would this be acceptable?

I'm also debating, but not 100% sure, whether I want to put Megido on the list of my Persona's current skills or leave it as something that will be unlocked as the RP progresses. The Persona itself will be more inclined towards Fire skills, so I don't mind giving Megido a miss if it too heavily outclasses what's expected. Though I'd rather hear your opinion on this, @Crimmy

@Crimmy“Masks all around me/Showing many faces of myself/Which of them is me?”
Name: Kagami Isami
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Arcana: Star
Equipment: Calligraphy Brush, weighted shinai
Skills: swimming, poetry, kendo
Appearance:

Appearance

Personality: Kagami is a driven person she gives nothing but one hundred percent when it comes to achieving a personal ambition and will go to any lengths to realize a goal she has set out for herself. For these reasons she could be viewed as stubborn when people present their own personal ideals and values in conflict with her own. Though she is not afraid to step back and admit when she is wrong. While sometimes strong-minded she’s prone to butting in and raising her own brand of hell. No matter how tense a situation gets though she has a sense of humor about her and uses her laughter to break across to the other side. She is a kind person though is giving to a large degree though she would rather see people raise and overcome challenges by themselves.

Biography:Kagami grew up with her grandfather Hanzo from a young age. Despite his rough and harsh appearance he was a kind man with a strong sense of morales which he passed onto Kagami. She grew up well enough and loved though with that said and done he was often pushing her in one on one kendo lessons. Despite this she enjoyed the sport and found she had a strong talent for it. She often had little friends due to her personality and her somewhat cold appearance. Despite this her skill in kendo often helped bridge the gap that prevented her from making friends. Her skill in kendo and her passing interest in poetry and calligraphy made for a interesting combination but one she pursues happily. In middle school her skill with kendo was what took her to making a name for herself in many kendo tournaments in which she continues to this day.

@Savo Aiming for things to be on the downlow right now, so no guns yet, if that's what you're asking.

Feel free to have him be non-Japanese.

So... I'm considering putting my Tower girl's age at around 18 or 19, on the condition that she failed a key subject that would've otherwise got her into tertiary education (I'm imagining that Japanese would be one of such subjects, but I wouldn't know what else could possibly be on the list of "must-haves" for Japanese culture in particular.)

@AdmrlStalfos19

I'm not sure if you can still stay in high school just by failing the tertiary entrance exams, but I know that if your overall grades are incredibly terrible during a school year and you fail the exams to pass to the next grade, you're stuck there. Massive stigma there in Japan though, so that could be kept in mind.

Megido's a bit too much right now.

@Bornlucky Ryoma looks good.

I think it's probably time to move this to an OOC don't you?

@chukklehed

Yeah, I'll start writing up the OOC and get everyone moving over to it.

(god playing persona 5 to 6am in the morning means waking up at nearly 3)

[chukklehed]

I know right? I had to start playing Andromeda again just so I'd go to sleep last night

[Savo]

@Crimmy Just gotta wake up, get up, get out there.

Also, gotcha on the guns.

[Suku]

@Crimmyis there anything I need to fix or change with my char

[Crimmy]

@Crimmyis there anything I need to fix or change with my char

@Suku

She's fine.

Also, OOC nearly done, and while I'm writing it up, just going to say that I've decided to flesh out and solidify the skill system for this game. It's not going to affect any of the profiles you're writing up right now, but it'll give some consistency.

[Crimmy]

Don't know if I missed anyone, but sorry if I did.

OOC here

If you've been approved, start migrating stuff over there. If you're not sure if I've approved you, feel free to ask me to look over your stuff again. Also, Write's the Co-GM write now.
