[OOC] Persona: Forget the Night

[Fury Panda]

@Aislynn cool cool, she's good to go and can be put in the character tab! @Raddum Would either of you like to develop your roommates for me to control, or would you prefer I create them and have it be a surprise?

@Fury Panda

Ooooo... surprise me! I love surprises!

[Todd Howard]

@Fury Panda

I'll take the surprise roommate. It'll be more natural that way, and I think I'll personally enjoy an encounter with someone I didn't expect.

[Aislynn]

@Fury Panda Moved her to the CS tab and made the Arcana super obvious ^_^

[Fury Panda]

@Raddum@Aislynn Cool I will start working on these now while we wait for a couple more folks.
I'm going to keep doing some world building on my side and npc's to help make things feel fleshed out while we wait as well.

@Fury Panda

PM me if you want help writing up NPCs or anything like that. I know it's a massive workload.

New NPC

@Fury Panda

Liking all the NPC's so far!

Just, uh, thought I'd let you know more vocally rather than just leaving likes.

[Gummy1295]

Halfway through the character sheet. Just need someone to clear up a question:

Can we assign canon/existing Personas to our characters?

@Gummy1295

I'n not sure since I'm not the GM, but I feel like since every person has their own Persona, an original character would have a new one. I'd ask @Fury Panda though.

[Todd Howard]

@Gummy1295

i personally agree with @Aislynn and think you'd be better off creating a new Persona, though it is up to the GM.

Plenty of mythological figures and creatures to choose from. :D

My name's Jeff.

Bio

Name: Jeff Pierce
Age: 16
Birthday: February 2
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 124 lbs (56.2 kg)

Appearance:

Jeff doesn't really motivate himself to look good. Every day, he shows up to school wearing the same gray jacket and the dirty tennis shoes that have spent a good chunk of time under constant use. His hair is always disheveled and far too long for a boy his age. Strangely enough, no one has seen a single strand of hair popping out of his chin, proving that he does indeed shave regularly, at the very least.

Personality:

He's... strange. Humble, in a sense. He never considered himself a "gifted" student, causing him to feel honored in the presence of any one of his fellow students, whom he treats like movie stars. He doesn't think too well of himself, so he balances his bad self-image through exaggerated praise.

"I can't believe I'm hanging out with ______ today! He's/She's so nice, thinking about a peasant like myself..."

"No, no, no. I'll treat you to this latte. It's the least I could do; you chose to worry about me, of all people. I'm just returning the favor."

History:

Very little is known. Apparently, his parents or caretakers had quite the high income, seeing as the jacket and shoes he wears every day to school used to be worth around $200 dollars each at the time. Also, all of the expenses for his move to Seattle were paid for by an anonymous donor. However, his teachers have never managed to get ahold of Jeff's legal guardian... if he ever had any to begin with.

He always scored straight As on his report card, but he'd deliberately leave test answers in blank so as not to end up with the absolute highest of grades in the class when the final grades would come up. He'd always end up as the #2 position in the class, and he'd be more than satisfied with these results. He would have loved to score much lower on the ladder, but he'd always dream of motivating gifted students at Casper High, claiming that motivating the cream of the world's crop was his calling. His stellar performance at standardized tests and a perfect score on the school's entrance exam made him a shoo-in for the "gifted" group.

Extra Facts:

Shadow Philosophy ~ "You can't trust anyone but yourself. Try as many times as you like, but you'll never be able to forge your precious Social Links/Confidants. You're destined to be lonely! I can tell you can tell that everyone around you looks at you with animosity in their puny eyes. Face it: nobody can freaking stand you. Don't bother arguing about it; I know you've been nurturing the seeds of doubt that I've just planted on you, Jeff. I know everything about you. I am you, after all."

Awakening Quote: "I won't allow anyone to trample over my hope!"

Jeff has a crush on a girl in the team. (No snitching, Gummy.) Of course, since he doesn't consider himself as gifted, he thinks of her as way out of his league. As platonic as his crush appears to be, his behavior changes subtly whenever she's around.

Jeff's unparalleled Luck stat sometimes manifests in the real world. For example, whenever he bothers to buy a drink off the vending machine, two cans of soda come out instead of one. Also, he's never lost a game of Rock Paper Scissors in his life.

In fact, his Persona takes the form of the Time Wizard from Yugioh because the card is notorious for depending on a coin flip to determine the execution of its effect.

That should do it. Lemme know if I missed anything.

(EDIT: Edited out all mentions that suggest him having an eating disorder, and altered his history and personality to make him a better type of crazy.)

(EDIT 2: Added Extra Facts and defined Tempus's elements, resistances, and weaknesses.)

(EDIT 3: Added the Shadow Philosophy and the Awakening Quote sections. Even if we're probably not following the plot style of Persona 4, I decided to add these two sections to help flesh out the character a bit.)

@Gummy1295

I'm dying because of Time Wizard

I should add stats to my CS as well. A small thing I missed when I made it originally.

@Raddum

I was actually inspired by the Persona Norn, which is also just a big clock. :)

[Fury Panda]

Yugioh and danganranpa in one sheet nice. I will read through later tonight. And yes I’d prefer a new persona as opposed to one another character has had in the games.

[Todd Howard]

@Fury Panda

I added stats to Itaki and his Persona based on @Aislynn and @Gummy1295's character sheets. (Thanks for the smart idea guys!) Also since Lyrika was strong~fire, I went ahead and shifted Ogma over to Garu skills for the sake of variation.

[Tenma Tendo]

@Fury Panda omg, can I join in? I freaking love Persona. :o

[Todd Howard]

@Tenma Tendo

We still have room!

[Tenma Tendo]

Yay! Thanks! I'll have them (probably a female) up soon! :)

[Aislynn]

Yay! Thanks! I'll have them (probably a female) up soon! :)

@Tenma Tendo

Sweet! Thought I'd be the only girl for a minute :D
