[OOC] The True Self - Persona

[Sho Minazuki]

Oh, then arm bandages then, because you need something for a 'weapon'. Even if it's just your fists.

Rui will be dual wielding with a shorter off-hand weapon. So it's not katanas specifically.

EDIT: Also if Aquaknight doesn't post by the end of today I'll just move myself along.

[Aquaknight]

Sorry, for lack of post earlier today, I've been busy today, I'll post right away!
Also I see kato using a steel pipe or metal pole at the start, and later uses sledgehammers.

Sho, in his equipment, sports tape is already noted.

[Sho Minazuki]

You should all listen before they get removed (until a week later when they're reuploaded due to game release)

It's a whole playlist.

And now the appearance of my charming character.

[Sho Minazuki]

Feast your eyes on my Persona.

Izanagi x Minato Arisato x Aigis....And maybe a bit of Cloud Strife.
This is what happens when they all max their Social Links with each other.

Also, I'm back.
And by god, I am ready to post!

In the flippity floppity world, would we face our "mirror selves" or our "shadow selves"? In P4, the shadow world was based off of a collective unconscious (I believe?) and the reason shadows happened was because of Jung. Shadow [character] were quite obviously the Jung "shadow," as we all probably know. So, would we have a "shadow" type of... shadow, or would we have a flopped versions of ourselves, where all the bad traits/secrets are the most obvious?The thought crossed my mind earlier, because having regular character shadows didn't make much sense in this circumstance.

Forgot to answer this earlier. I'll stick the answer in a spoiler in case someone wants to preserve the super mega ultra epic twisting of the narrative flow.

The Shadows in this RP are quite similar to P4's, really, except with 40% more mirror stuff. In short, the Shadow/True/Mirror/Other Selves reflect the 'truth' that their other half hides. The more secrets about themselves that they hold, the worse the Shadow gets, pretty much. The flaws are exaggerated, but the main purpose of these Shadows is to basically reveal the whole truth of themselves - that they aren't as angelic or innocent as the real person thinks they are.

When it comes to confronting them, much like P4, accepting the Shadow subdues them and they become a Persona. It's also possible that not all Shadows are necessarily evil, murderous or malevolent in any way. They simply wish to exist in a world with no lies. Hell, there might be one or two Sadows that are perfectly fine with being Persona'd, if they have reason to belive their other half will accept their flaws.

How does this tie into mirrors? Well... obviously, it's because the villain is [REDACTED]

I love how Shikis weapon is a soccer ball xDNow we have a Waka - Useless unless using his range on flying things! Jk, jk, don't know how strong his hits are.

Wakka actually seems to be one of the strongest characters, going by personal Sphere Grids. He may lack Piercing as a standard, but I find he tends to match Auron in damage output. He also has the strongest Overdrive in the game (damage-wise, anyway. Mix is probably more broken overall).

Also, my next post should the have start of Persona stuff happening. I'll need to be sure to time it so not everyone ends up getting dragged along.

Oh hey, my avatar is finally what I set it to.

O w O
Aha! There ARE Mirror/Shadow Selves! This makes it even more interesting!
As for Ayano's weapon, I guess she could have throwing knives...Or anything she could throw really...
Darts, Carts, Rocks, as long as it's throw-able and can cause damage. Expect her to miss a lot though.

Like a true wakka

[Sho Minazuki]

Savo for Rui's weapons, just put down "Dual Wield, Blade + Shortblade".

Although for accuracy, the shorter blade would usually be a parrying dagger.

[Haru Nyan]

Haru Nyan said Carts

I realized I just typed Carts instead of Cards...

[SwordfishKnight]

Keep it. I wanna see someone pull out a wheelbarrow and just throw it at the enemy.

[Haru Nyan]

It's Ayano's ultimate weapon!
Wooden Wheelbarrow
She just randomly materializes said wheelbarrow and proceeds to throw it at the enemy.
It's the Final Boss' one true weakness.

[Pudding]

Typing via Iphone, so many unnecessary mistakes, it hurts.

[SwordfishKnight]

That's the pair up attack. Noboru and Ayano, the deadly duo. Ayano summons the wheelbarrow, Noboru slams it down on their head.

This. I want this to actually happen in the RP. I don't care how long I have to wait, this needs to happen at one point.

[Sho Minazuki]

And I'm using swords and looking cool.

[SwordfishKnight]

Alright. This is gonna happen at one point. Two different personalities coming together by the use of a wheelbarrow.

[Rin]

That is amazing and it needs to happen. :O

Also, um... Swordfish, I apologise for asking, but all the embedded Youtube is making this page load really slow for me. ^^; Could you possibly put it in hiders or just use links instead? Sorry.
