[OOC] The True Self - Persona

[Crimmy]

Katsuya was a cop as well, but Eikichi was your average delinquent teenager with a submachine gun.

To be fair, if it's a precious heirloom, I really doubt his family wouldn't have gone through red tape in order to keep it. I'd probably suffer through bureaucracy to keep stuff of great sentimental worth. And for my two cents on the backstory, it's pretty small yeah, but it does explain enough of his life for me to be satisfied.

[HereComesTheSnow]

It's a family relic. Belonged to his grandfather, who fought in WWII, and has been kept in the family as a keepsake of sorts. As such, it holds a lot of value to him and his family.

[vancexentan]

Snow my mistake but yeah I agree with Cu saying that guns aren't really a thing I'd approve of with a bunch of kids using swords, spears, and bows and arrows.

[Crimmy]

Those weapons have been used alongside guns before.

[Crimmy]

It's not like those weapons haven't been used in conjunction with guns before. It may clash somewhat, but it's a reasonable thing you'd expect a guy with a Soviet grandfather to have.

EDIT: Whoops, double post. This server man.

[vancexentan]

Yes but only one gun user who was allied with the protagonist in four was a cop. The antagonist had a similar reason for having a gun. Japanese have a massive gun restriction laws the last time I checked and only officials are allowed to have them like Naoto. At the end of the day I don't like it but I'm not the gm OR a co gm so I am just throwing my two cents out there.

These are the kind of details that should go in your backstory.

I suppose it's okay to have, provided all it will be doing is sitting around gathering dust. After all, unless you're planning to add persona details later, you won't be using the gun in the bulk of combat in this RP. Of course, I'm going to need the strictest of assurances that you won't be whipping the gun out for anything less than friendly. I have been in at least one RP that went up in smoke because some nutter decided to stage a holdout in an RP when he suddenly felt like it.

[Sho Minazuki]

Or, you can go down to a locksmith and have him cut more keys? We can make said locksmith our weapons shop as well maybe?

[Sen]

Also, not to be rude, but I think Snow's bio should be longer. I read it and while it explains the bare basics, I think it should explain why they moved to Japan. His father moved to Japan from the USA due to work-related stuff. What part of his job demanded that? What's his job? Why does Mitch carry the gun with him? Is he aware how illegal it is to carry a functional gun with him?

It's not my place to judge, but that's just my opinion on matter. I do actually like the character.

EDIT: Will post tommorow. Yaaay

[vancexentan]

Thank you for voicing your concerns Sen.

[Sho Minazuki]

Quite.

Different to Rui's bio, which is short because not much happened to him, and Fool and all that. Fool Arcana doesn't go through much unless it's at the end of an... Incident so to speak.

[Haru Nyan]

The discussion I last left off of became a Fanservice-esque convo with Maid Cafe's/Detective Cafe's that slowly turned into a debate about the whole investigation team...
Yep, this is the OOC alright. Now, should probably get a goddamnd post up, after freaking finally.

[Zane620]

You really should haha

[Sen]

The perfect cover-up! A maid cafe. Nobody can just barge in because we might be changing. It's flawless.

Who sells sharp as hell weapons to teens that could do somehing bad with them? Aside from people in the Persona games?

Just have Henrietta deal the weapons, and other stuff while Igor allows us to change our personas move set?

[Sho Minazuki]

Well, Daidara did. Kurosawa did too but we know the circumstances to that. In the end it doesn't really have to be normal, no way can you realistically spin selling kids some sharp things.

Letting Velvet Room handle physical things is not what they do at all, only metaphysical, so leave it at that.

[Sen]

I was just gonna get Ryouta to smuggle Sato stuff from his family's shop.
And speaking of which, no one ever actually accepted it formerly and I'd like to know if the whole family metalworks thing is okay with you guys.

Eh, fine, but can we find a somewhat logical way to sneak weapons in without our characters getting caught?

[Sho Minazuki]

I have an idea I figured out.

How about when we exit the mirror world we end up in the abandoned building, with the big mirror and all. In other words our meeting place will also be our primary entry point. We can't use the house of mirrors, since too many mirrors, throws you to different parts of the town at almost random, therefore using the common entry point would be safer.

They used that logic for the TV section in Persona 4 as well.

Good idea, this is what we are going with for time time being.
