Shin Megami Tensei.

[Crimson Lion]

Is anyone interested in doing a Shin Megami Tensei RP wth me? I don't really have a definitive idea on how exactly it'd go but I got a general idea on how I want to do it.

[Vertigo]

What's your general idea?

[Crimson Lion]

@Vertigo Basically I was thinking the story would be demons have over run or have been around for awhile kinda like smt iv Tokyo and the hand full of protagonists were given the demon summoning program. Probably no one else has it.

That's all I got so far. I'd be open to discussion if u want. Help me brainstorm and stuff

[Vertigo]

Sounds fair enough for a basic premise, and you got my interest if extensive knowledge on the SMT games isn't necessary. I've played the Persona games, the first Devil Survivor and Digital Devil Saga and been part of an SMT rp in the past - but that's about it.

So with that, I'm also not sure how much help I would be in fleshing things out with my limited knowledge, much as I'd like to help.

Only random suggestion I could throw off the top of my head is that perhaps there could be seven protagonists (a good number of players for a small-mid group), with each one being tied to one of the seven deadly sins? Perhaps they could contract demons tied to that sin better, or attract demons of that sin in general (both in good and bad) towards them? With perhaps the Seven Princes of Hell being bosses they need to defeat, with the corresponding protagonist getting to shine when facing a prince of their own branch of sin?

Cliché, but y'know.

@Vertigo Ah I really like that! For the amount of characters I was thinking that no matter how many people joined the RP I wanted a min of 6 characters, wether they're NPC or not.

For demon association of the 7 sins. If I did do that I'd make each of the sins accossiate with demon races. So Lucifer is Fallen. Satan is Brute. Etc

[Duoya]

Interested!

[Vertigo]

Hey, cool. That's good to hear.

And yeah, that could be a good way to categorize them. Then you can also choose whether there are only 7 races included, or whether the rest would just be outside the sin-association and would not be governed by a prince. Wild cards, kind of.

[Crimson Lion]

for races I was originally just gonna pick a game and have that games list of demons as the "Compendium"

[Crimson Lion]

Where do u guys thing the setting should be? I was kinda thinking New York because of just how many people are there and how easy it'd be to have a diverse amount of people

[Vertigo]

I would personally prefer Japan to keep with the theme (and because I'm much more familiar with Tokyo as a place than NY, though I figure that's the opposite for most people). I'm fine with NY as well, though.

We can have variety in the cast no matter the place, though. There are always exceptions and minorities, no matter where you go.

[Duoya]

I have no real preference to be honest.

[Blondie]

Sounds like fun, I'd like to express interest as well.

[Crimson Lion]

Ok, wth this much interest I'll start working on it. Did anyone wanna be Co Gm? Just to help me out if I'm drawing blanks or taking over when I'm busy

[Crimson Lion]

Hey, so I got the beginning down and just wanted a second opinion. Anyone down to PM?

[Crimson Lion]

So for magic I was thinking I'd do it like persona Q, where you start out with skills that just evolve with levels. Example, My guy has Zio, Gram Slice (light phys) and Dia, then like a third into the story My guy would upgrade to Zionga, Fatal Slash (Medium phys), and diarama.

what do u guys think?

[Blondie]

That sounds cool to me. I’ve only played Persona 3 and 4, but through cultural osmosis have some light familiarity with Devil Survivor and the Shin Megami Tensei series. So as long as you don’t mind breaking the evolution down for us as we go I’d be in

[Crimson Lion]

I made the RP post. Its HERE.
