[OOC] Persona 3: Dark Side of the Moon [OOC]

[Theorist]

I pretty much wanted to make Strega a larger threat earlier in the story. They're a full-blown cult at this moment and they've been a full-blown cult for a couple of years. They follow Takaya, whom they call "The Messiah", "The Second Coming", etc. Think of any crazy name for a cult leader claiming to be a messiah. They probably call Takaya that. (Though "Messiah" is the most popular name) Everyone in Strega is a Persona-user. Naturally awakened with some... assistance. Studies done on the cult estimate their numbers to be around 30 - 50.

...

Ahem, sorry.

*28 - 48

Their current infamy? Outside of cult specialists, Strega is relatively unknown.

As far as Takahiro was able to gather, Takaya's recruitment method is very similar to their own. The fact that they were able to gain so many battle-ready followers in such a short amount of time has led Takahiro to believe that they have someone on their side with a power very similar to his. As for how they are awakened so quickly, that's still a mystery.

All of your characters will be briefed on this information and more in-game once the issue with Takahiro is resolved.

After that brief site fail, anyone around?

[Pudding]

Mmm still here

[Theorist]

Yup, i'm around. Don't you worry kiddies, Uncle Theo isn't going anywhere.

[Theorist]

Okay guys, question.

i just created a new Persona rp. I originally intended to run both this one and that one. However, this rp seems to be dropping rather significantly in activity.

Which leads me to my question.

Would you all rather we put a lid on this rp and move over to that one?

[Crimson Flame]

Edit: Nevermind I found the other one...

[Pudding]

Ether is fine :p

Edit: although I like this one abit more.

[Lenaya]

whatever you wanna do is good man, i'm just tied a bit cause i'm employed (yay money)

but i'd still like to tag along in your new one. can anyone gimmie the link pls?

[Lennon79]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (To Save What Remains)
So it's basically SMT:Imagine but substituting daemons with Shadows and Personae?
I'd be up for giving the new one a go, but I'd rather not lose this thread.
/edit Also I'll be away for a few days. Might be able to post OOC, we'll see.

[Theorist]

My thoughts exactly. I have put A LOT of work and prep into this rp, sao id really rather keep it alive. Speaking of, i need you guys to post pl0x.

[Pudding]

*waits patiently for the dark hour to end*

[Lennon79]

Any post from me atm will just be Youhei being battered about; no point flogging the proverbial dead horse on that point.

[Kisuji]

I'm still here. Uh, I always liked the setting of SMT: Imagine. Like the idea of rebuilding after the apocalypse. The whole "sin of weakness" intro was a bit too strong, but it gave your character motivation so that's good. I was always more focused on "what's the world like outside these walls?" and "why do humans and demons still fight?"
Humans are fighting demons using demons...makes sense right?? Cuz, you know...you can only make friends with some of the demons but not ALL the demons.

Anyway I'd be down. Its unfortunate about this rp really. I feel like its not so much this rp, but how inconvenient everyone's lives are atm...and the fact that my character is currently out of commission doesn't help drive things forward or else I'd rally the troops in Lenaya's place...breaking character as little as possible...

If I saw more posts out of the newbies I'd be more encouraged to get things moving again here, but as it stands we really only have me, Lenaya, our GM, and Lennon to rely on. Kiga has been somewhat more aloof than I, and everyone else is...non-apparent.
Where is rainbow dash!? I REALLY wanted to see more of that guy in our rp! xD Serious.

[Kisuji]

Oh and of course I would like to keep this rp alive. I definitely have the time to put more effort into it. I just hold myself back out of respect for the other players and to maintain post order...otherwise I'd be the overzealous nutbag who multi-posts IC fucking everything up for everybody.

I'm kind of in the same situation as Youhei until someone rouses Shirogane. JUST SLAP HIM THE FACE ALREADY!!

EDIT: or I guess I could become the buddha and figure out my own pyschological bullshit in one of those one-second-eternities of mental struggle.

[Crimson Flame]

Where is rainbow dash!? I REALLY wanted to see more of that guy in our rp! xD Serious.

Are you referring to me?

The whole "I don't speak Japanese" thing is causing more problems than I thought it would. >.<

[Pudding]

What ever moves the story along! Gogogo!

[Lennon79]

For the sake of not letting this die, it might just be worth having Yoro and Youhei beat the Priestess alone.
Also good for character development: angry people makes for interesting shyte.

[Theorist]

I'm inclined to agree with Lennon. In a little bit, i'll edit my post to give you something to respond to, then we'll move along.

[Pudding]

What'll happen to the other characters?

[Theorist]

Those who have not awakened will get multiple chances to over this month. Those who are already full members of SEES (Save for Youhei) will likely receive some sort of punishment.
