Personality:Reiji is a young man torn between two worlds. On the inside he is bright and quite talented. There isn't much that he wouldn't do for the people that he cares for. He's very ambitious and a firm believer of the old saying "You can do anything you set your mind to". This usually leads to some risk-taking. He's also courteous and optimistic. Though these are all things that (for now) only his immediate family now about him. On the outside, Reiji wears the mask of a macho-man, a mischief, a rebel without a cause and he's surrounded himself with like-minded individuals. Does this mean that sometimes he has to do things that he rather wouldn't? Absolutely and you wouldn't tell he was faking it either. From bullying to skipping school and fighting out in the streets, he's done it all. He's that kid that you give your lunch money too. He's the reason you don't go down that certain alley or take that short cut home. Does he enjoy doing these things? Absolutely not, but it must be done for his brothers protection and well-being.

Bio: Reiji was birthed as the older of twins; by ten minutes. At the time, their family was struggling to keep their business running. Any money they had was used to fuel their fathers alcoholism as he tried to drink the problems away. Of course, some people knew about the daily struggles within the family and didn't know how to keep their mouths shut. Eventually word would leak from adults to eavesdropping children. These children would then bully the twins. Their family name was insulted and they were once the kids getting beat up for their lunch money. This was until Reiji grew tired of getting pushed around. Not to mention his brother was weaker in will and strength. He never could stand up for himself. Reiji used this as fuel for the fire and made himself strong enough for the both of them. The same kids that beat on them, he beat back until they would eventually fear him. Everybody would know not to mess with him and if a single hair was touched on his brother... lord be with that child. Throughout the years, things eventually took a turn for the best for their family. Their business flourished and things within the family were better than ever. Regardless, Reiji felt as though he still needed to be the person he was on the outside, to keep he's reputation. It was that "Don't let the enemy see you be weak" kind of deal. His family begged him to stop, knowing that he was capable of so much more, but he didn't listen. So many fights and mischievous deeds later, he was eventually expelled from his school. It was no simple task, but Reiji has now been transeferred to Uchima Senior High. He's a fresh face and lives by himself in an apartment, paid for by his family.

Took longer than expected, but finally done! Sorry if I went a little overboard... Didn't know how to stop typing T_T lol

[Crimmy]

@Inkd Bull Biography and Personality should be in separate fields.

And the Persona, are you using the Monkey King?

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Inkd Bull

Reiji and Jin are gonna get along just fine.

...or fight constantly. Either one or the other.

@Crimmy

Oh... Um... Ok, didn't know that would be an issue. It seemed like it'd be easier and you'd get more of an understanding of why he's the way he is, if they were blended together. Also, I wasn't aware that wukong was actually a thing already. I was just going for "Fire monkey", but I'll switch up the traits and whatnot as they appear for the original.

@Mistress Dizzy
Hmm..............
We shall be mortal enemies!

Kidding haha, I will wait for more to read once you're done with your character. I'd like to know what they'll be like

[Crimmy]

Yeah, a Persona tends to be based off a mythological or legendary figure.

Backstory explains how someone became they are today, but the personality is a distinct thing that needs to be properly done on its lonesome so others know how they are.

@Crimmy Fixed

[Conflagration]

This is what I've got so far. Only a few sections left, then some polish. Thought I'd post to see if anyone had any observations.

As far as I know, Morrigan exists in the universe but isn't an existing persona. I'd be basing her around a physical damage / buffing role.

Character

Name: Hitoshi Katsu

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Arcana: Justice

Equipment: Fist Wraps (and fist weapons in general.),
Smooth Stone (a large-ish, smooth pebble kept in a pocket. No real function.)

Skills: Extremely calm and level headed, able to tackle stressful or just plain weird situations without panicing. High pain tolerance and physical strength. A rational and logical problem solver.

Appearance:

Personality:[/b] Quiet and collected, Hitoshi is a reserved student who consistently achieves good - though not exeptional - grades.

While it might not be initially evident, he is actually quite sociable despite his appearance: his infrequent speech stems from over thinking and self censoring his words rather than any attempt to distance himself from others. Hitoshi knows that it is easy to cause offence with careless words, so always chooses what he percieves to be the most effective way to communicate.

He is very forward with providing his opinions, but always strives to do so in a way that avoids conflict.

Hitoshi will always try to find a way out of a situation before it escalates into something more serious - having had significant anger issues earlier in life has led to him fearing the consequences of losing his temper. He is not afraid to be the first to attack however, if he feels that violence would be the best way to diffuse a situation.

Biography: Hitoshi grew up in a fractured household. With an abusive father figure, he quickly learned that violence was an easy solution to most problems that life through his way and came to embrace that fact - using it as a defence mechanism to cope with any and every stressful situation that life threw at him. He was an intelligent enough child, but his lack of motivation and drive to tackle problems that could not be solved by attacking them did him no favors in his early school years.

As he grew, Hitoshi became a problem child of sorts - aggressive and hostile to pretty much anyone that crossed his path. He found himself in trouble with the law on more than one occasion and as a result began to gain a bad reputation. Naturally, this only served to fuel his dislike of others and his violent streak. After all, if he was going to be judged to be 'the bad kid' then he might as well live up to the name.

It was when he was fourteen that the incident occurred. Furious at some trivial insult, the boy lashed out at his brother and caused some serious harm: going as far as to hospitalise his own family. It was a stark wake up call for Hitoshi - who finally saw what he had become.

From that day onward, he changed. He forced himself to bottle up the anger that he felt inside - dreading what he might do to other people if he continued down that same path of destruction. He began to focus on his studies and adopted a life of calm, calculated consideration. It is not the true face of Hitoshi Katsu, but it is the only one he dares to show the world.

@Crimmy Fixed

@Inkd Bull

What does Berserk do?

@Conflagration Power Slash might be a bit too strong for now? It'd be something you could definitely upgrade to, but it's pretty strong off the bat.

[Inkd Bull]

<Snipped quote by Inkd Bull>

What does Berserk do?

@Crimmy

@CrimmyAttack power up + attack twice per turn
Downfall: cannot cast spells/ cannot control (random attack)/ defence lowered

[demonspade64]

@Inkd Bull

Reiji and Jin are gonna get along just fine.

...or fight constantly. Either one or the other.

@Mistress Dizzy

Rena and Reiji would make go friend also...I should also consider putting Rena in the Kendo club.

[Conflagration]

Fair enough - I'll probably drop it down to cleave then to start, no worries.

Would there be any problem if I just did a good ol' written description for my characters appearance section? Prefer writing and I can't think of any images that really capture what I'm thinking.

No problem. I tend to write descriptions too, so I get what you mean.

@Inkd Bull

The lack of turn-based mechanics seems to make that a bit redundant.

[Inkd Bull]

@Crimmy You asked for what it does... I gave you the in-game use lol. It can still function in roleplay. I would imagine something along the same lines, obviously without the turns. Entering some kind of rage mode which would greatly increase your power, but without any control of it. Which means even though you have this boosted power, you could potentially turn on your peers (hence "berserk").

@demonspade64I smell trouble... Trying to get Reiji mixed into the wrong crowd right off the bat? lol

[Crimmy]

That's fine then. Approved.

[Inkd Bull]

@CrimmyAwesome! Thank you. I would also like to add that, from what I've been able to find, entering this "berserk mode" isn't an ability you can use whenever. It seems to be triggered. Best way I can explain it is berserk is like Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk when he's angry.

That being said, I'd like to ask: May I add another basic skill?
