OOC

The name basically says it all. It's a Persona RP, taking place in Wonderland, or rather a place that looks like Wonderland.

The basic gist of the story is this: Starting in the Summer of 2010 (Taking place in-between Persona 3 and 4.) children of ages 4 though 12 are being infected by a disease known as the "Pied Piper Phenomenon" or "P3 Syndrome" for short, on the stroke of midnight every night in the city of London, England. Once they go asleep by this time, they enter into a comatose they don't seem to wake up from. While it mostly effects London only, with each new child, the range gets wider and wider, and so if it's not stopped, all the children of the world would be placed in this state. (So it's kind of like Apathy Syndrome for Kids.)

However, as everyone here is most certainly closer to being adults, this normally wouldn't concern them, unless of course they have a young family member inflicted with this curse. But as the school year is about to begin, at the stroke of Midnight, all of you gets inflicted with P3 Syndrome as well. Your dreams shatter to pieces, and all that remains in the darkness is rectangular window into a beautiful but dark world, and soon, you are drawn into this Looking Glass, and enter the realm known as Wonderland, and assisted and guided by an intelligent and sapient white rabbit, revealing immediately that he and other members of the original story are in fact Shadows.
So... This Persona RP will have a few change to it:

1. No Calendar System. Because honestly, I have seen that system fail in an RP far too many times, due to inactivity or just plain boredom. So we're playing it like a normal adventure RP. Kind of like the first two Persona Games.

2. EVERYONE can wield multiple personas and are allowed fusions. Speaking of which, another aspect from the original two will return here. Everyone gets to have and create multiple personas, allowing access to fusions. However, at the start, they can only have access to personas of their initial Arcana. When a certain...'event' happens, (You'll know it when it happens) they'll gain access to a second Arcana. Then when they gain their resolved personas (and Of course they will.) they'll gain access to a third arcana to use. A total of three arcanas worth of Personas. The fool of the group (Which is indeed my character) of course, has access to all Arcanas. Still a bit of an advantage, but not AS big as the two games before it.

3. No Igor (At least for now): There is always only one fool, and only that one fool is the wielder of multiple personas usually. However, their ability to use multiple personas is technically an "Illegal" method, and as such, none of them are guests of the Velvet Room. ...That, and the Velvet Room isn't exactly in the position to be taking guess right now, what with Elizabeth leaving and the room probably in the middle of its changing process between one guest (P3) and the next. (P4) So even the fool isn't allowed in at the moment. Not to worry, there is someone in this Wonderland who can provide the same services to illegals like yourselves.

4. "Neo-Shadows": As stated, the characters of the original book of Alice in Wonderland are in this world in the form of Shadows. However, while there are regular shadows around, these particular ones are known as "Neo-Shadows" Shadows that possess an immense amount of power compared to a regular shadow, a special ability, sapience as well as sentience, and a capability of Human Form. In addition, they also possess the ability of Persona like the humans possess. For the sake of variety and chance, I'm giving out a CS that will allow you to create a Neo-Shadow of your own, and no, they don't necessarily have to follow the "Wonderland" theme like the others.

5. Light and Darkness: Wind, Fire, Ice, and Lightning are the normal elements in which the games let you use. But Light and Darkness, are used differently, being lucky insta-kills rather than anything damaging. Works well enough in an RPG...Not quite in an RP. As such, There will still be light and darkness, but they will be damaging elements like the others.

6. No buffs/debuffs: This honestly is a bit of a disappointing change, I'll admit, but we feel it'd be easier to do this without them. Power and Mind charge, however, are still usable.

And that's it in the changes department.

So, anyone interested in this little adventure?

I'm certainly interested in this! Definitely hoping it lasts longer than most Persona-ish RPs I've seen.

Edit: Even though buffs/debuffs are gone, are status effects going to still be represented in some way?

Arcana:
Weapon:
Personality:
Backstory: (Optional)
Theme Song: (Completely optional.)

Remember though, Not all of them HAVE to be characters from Wonderland.

Edit: To answer your question...We're not sure yet on Status Effects. I need a word with my partner and I'll get back to you on that.

I am highly interested. Will only cannon persona be allowed and if so what of them might we not be able to start out with? Can we only use the weaker persona of our arcana or any of them as long as we just don't go throw around MAMUUUUUDOOOOOO every post?

EDIT- FML joining a persona rp will never be not awkward with my current setup

Also, sorry if this a dumb quesetion, but will a limited amount of people be able to be of each arcana? This include both the starting out arcana we have as well as the 2 we might eventually unlock?

EDIT AGAIN- SORRY FOR THE DUMB QUESTIONS

Will we be reserving all 3 of the types we want? Or will the other 2 we get not be of our choosing? Or is it neither of these?

To answer all of these questions in order:

1. You can use the Canon Personas if you like, but I am allowing custom Personas to be made as well. A few custom-ones are already reserved for some of these people.

2. You'll all be starting with Weaker Personas, yes. But as you are allowed to fuse just like any fool would, that's not something too problematic. ...Also, For the record: In this RP, Throwing around Mamudoes would be something of an annoyance only. As I said, They are merely damaging elements, no different to the other four. No insta-killing properties in either of them. ...It's still be annoying and unrecommended to throw 'em around constantly though. XD

3. As there is no need for a Single Arcana for Social Links, so too are there no need to limit how many people can have personas of the same Arcanas. So long as they're not the exact same Personas, as long as the Arcana fits the character, anyone can be any arcana, regardless of who or how many are already that arcana.

....Except for the Fool, the World, and the Universe. Only one fool is allowed and I have her. The other two are absolutely forbidden...I personally think Judgment's also a nono, but we'll see about it.

EDIT: 4. You can reserve them if you like. HOWEVER, I personally would recommend you wait until the event that will give you the second Arcana choice happens.Trust me, I can almost guarantee you won't expect it.

@Jest, ok thanks a ton you are my hero.

LOL is the Jester and Hunger allowed? Cause i would totes use the hunger

Also, if we do use custom personas they needa followed the themes of the others of their types right? No Massiahs in the devil? Want us to describe them when we use em?

So we probably won't be puttin our choices for the 2 unlocks on the cs and we'll just cross that road when we get there? And so as long as our character's personality and general vibes match those of the arcanas they use it shouldn't be a problem?

No limit to the Age. High School Student, Middle Student, Working-class adult, as long as you're old enough to fight, yet young enough to...well, fight, it's acceptable.

My Fool/Main Character's a College Student, for instance. ^_^

I'm going to need to talk with my partner on that, but I CAN tell you that The Jester, which is an alternate Fool, is not allowed. Yes they must follow the themes, No messiah in Devil indeed. If you want to describe them when you use them, or when you put them on the CS, it matters not. Just if you're going to do the former, please put "TBR" on the Persona's appearance. And that is correct.

I HAVE A HUNGER FOR THE HUNGER

Ok thanks for the clarification! Sorry for bombardin ya with these things!

I'll be posting up a cs by tomorrow night if possible, I'd like to wait until someone else posts theirs first because Yeah, but if that doesn't happen I will post one either way 8D

Thanks again! I look forwarding to rping with you.

EDIT- Although tbh Im not too serious about the hunger Thing because it is probably a bad idea to only have one reverse-ish/divided card type. And i doubt it'll be a better idea to add more so that its not the only one. So you won't needa 'break it to me' if ya decide its a dumb idea
