Your Female Draphs must have at least Double D's.


Don't tempt me, boy. I could easily do way better than Double D's, and not even put them on a Draph if I wanted to.

...

All jests aside, this is a strong maybe. I do have a concept for a character in mind, but whether I can legit spare the time is another story.

Interactions: Arthur Walsh (@Godlikeblade), Jacob Wolf (@Godzillafreak54), Chase Rivers (@Petulant), Jeremy Hart* (@Windstormugly), Rhys Lyons* (@CriticalHit), Nicola Khumola* (@Etranger), Luke LaMotta* (@Duoya), Hitomi Miyamoto* (@rebthewriter), Maria Kusonoki* (@Suku), The White Rabbit (@The Jest)



"Yeah, that's right; run away..." Tylissa goaded at the fleeing Shadows, before everything seemingly returned to normal. Or rather, as close to normal as things got in this strange netherworld. She was completely unaware that Tyler had vanished in the chaos, and she hadn't even realized that she'd dropped the stuffed toucan that she always carried around either. In any case, the White Rabbit reunited with the group that she'd presumably broken from, taking Tylissa, Jacob and Arthur with her.

"I'm gonna assume you three were thrown in here as well?" asked one of the boys from said group.

"Huh? There's four of us, silly," Tylissa stated, "I'm Tylissa, this is Arthur, that's Jacob and this..."

However, now the fact that the boy had said three as opposed to four was starting to add up. Tylissa had looked around all over the place, but Tyler was nowhere to be found. Immediately, she turned to Jacob and Arthur for help.

"You guys haven't seen...?" she was about to ask, before panic began to set in, and she found herself clutching both sides of her head, "THE HELL COULD TYLER HAVE EVEN GONE??!! He was right here with us a few seconds ago(!); he had to be!"

Tylissa tried another desperate scan of the area that once served as the battlefield, but once again, no dice. However, she did manage to find her stuffed toucan again, just sitting out in the open for someone else to grab. Not wanting that to happen, Tylissa rushed towards the stuffed toucan, diving after it at the last second and, after she stopped rolling along the ground, hugging it tightly.

"Oh geez... I knew I completely forgot something," with that, Tylissa picked herself up again and, now that she was a little bit more at ease, resumed her search. It was here that she saw that another boy from the larger group had touched one of the nearby trees and found that his hand had phased straight through it. Her curiosity peaked, Tylissa went over to that same tree and tried her hand at it.

"Whoa. This is... feels kind of like a ghost tree or something. And it looks like it's trying to cover a hole in the ground or something," she deduced as she felt around inside the strange tree and realized that there was no solid ground in between it, "That's so cool! A ghost tree covering a hole! Although wouldn't it make sense to cover the hole with an actual tree?"

...

Apparently not. From what the White Rabbit had been explaining to everyone, these so-called 'ghost trees' that Tylissa had dubbed them for the moment were actually meant to be called World Trees, and what they were supposed to do was transport those that jumped inside from one side of this strange netherworld to another. It was possible that Tyler had inadvertently fell inside one of the World Trees as the battle between the humans and the Shadows was raging on, and if that was the case, the chance that Tylissa would ever get to see him again was unlikely. Tylissa was reluctant to go on without Tyler. But, realizing she had little choice, she followed all the others.

It was here that she saw a giant caterpillar giving the whole group much needed information on what was going on and what they needed to do. Considering that this caterpillar was more than capable of filling in the gaps for what Hi'iaka had been trying to tell her earlier, Tylissa should've been listening intently. But instead, she'd been distracted by the sight of all the weapons that some of the larger group's members had, which naturally had captured her excitement more than all this exposition being dumped.

"Oh wow; you guys get weapons too! That's so cool," Tylissa's eyes glistened with excitement as she moved closer to some of the larger group, "There's like... a sword, I see; nice bow and arrows; an axe; another axe; oh, cool, even a whip! And... wait. A yo-yo? Seriously?"

She scratched her head at that last one, unsure of how a yo-yo could possibly work as a weapon. However, that made her realize something. Tylissa, Jacob and Arthur had never received weapons of any kind from the White Rabbit; all she gave them was their Chronovokers. Figuring that this was about as good a time as any, Tylissa darted over towards the White Rabbit.

"Never mind all that; where's my weapon? Do I even get one, hm? Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?"

Tylissa would continue to jump up and down excitedly as she awaited the White Rabbit's answer.


And so the classmates around Hiroshi completely ignored her request to keep things simple and quick, and continued to drag on with their introductions... much to her dismay. Ordinarily, Hiroshi would've shrugged it off, but without having had any sleep at all, each and every little thing was only making her grow more and more irritable. First, immediately after she made her introduction, she caught ear of the two Americans questioning each other why someone wouldn't be able to follow directions. Hiroshi knew damn well that what they said was about her, and thus, she immediately shot a glare of pure venom at the two, as if to dare them to say it to her face next time.

Introductions dragged on as per usual, but this one asshole at the back of the class was making the whole situation worse. Not only did he force the Hatsune-Miku-lookalike in front of Hiroshi to repeat herself, but he had also, albeit subliminally, remarked that the green-haired girl who was yelling at those kids earlier looked to have a whole mess of seaweed on her head... among other things like hit on the one blonde chick in the classroom. All this just to waste valuable time that Hiroshi didn't have.

...

By the time lunch period had rolled around, all Hiroshi had to show for enduring the past three and a half hours of her day was a splitting headache. She wanted to believe that she at least learnt something over all this drama around her... but she couldn't lie to herself. The vast majority of what Kurihara-sensei was trying to teach the class, Hiroshi already knew.

In a bid to relief the stress, Hiroshi went to the library where she'd ideally be away from people, fired up her Nintendo 3DS and played a few rounds of Smash Bros online. Perhaps she could take out her frustrations on some garbage-tier noobs.
Sure, I'll give this a whirl


Kira was the first to recover from the Skyranger's sudden crash landing, and raced to unstrap herself. She grabbed the biggest gun she could find, and kicked the door open before charging out in the open for a good 15 meters or so. It was far away enough so that she could get a proper gauge on her surroundings, but still close enough that she could always double back to the Skyranger if she ever needed to.

Her first instinct was to try and track down whatever it was that managed to blast the Skyranger out of the sky, and with that, Kira aimed her gun in the air and peered through the scope to see if she could see anything. There looked to be nothing there for the moment. However, there was still the possibility that the aliens would've landed their craft a safe distance away, so that they could dispatch some ground troops to "clean up" any survivors. And while these rice stalks would've be annoying to navigate through, they'd provide the perfect cover for them.

Deciding to cash in on that double back, Kira rushed back to the Skyranger, intending to scavenge something that she could use to cut the rice stalks down. It was here that she noticed that everyone else had shown signs of movement.

"Is everyone OK?" asked Kira, figuring that was the most respectable question to ask first. Then she'd ask for a machete or something.

Good ol' fashioned GIMP. Had a crash course on making them a year or two back :]


It had been a long flight to Tokyo, but after flying through pitch darkness for the past several hours, the plane that Kira Lawson had boarded finally landed on solid ground. As she disembarked, she noted a couple of military aircraft out in the distance. The first one she caught sight of looked to be a jet fighter of sorts. There were a few alterations to its structure here and there compared to those that she'd worked with before, but it didn't exactly strike her as jaw-dropping. However, the larger of the two aircraft was what caught Kira's eye. Its windows were tinted black, and as she came around the back to get a proper look at it, she noticed that the door was wide open, with a mass of personnel already inside. A male soldier stood just outside the door was, as if he was expecting Kira to arrive this whole time.

"We've been waiting for you, Miss Lawson," the man stated, "Please proceed onto the Skyranger with the others."

"You mean this thing, sir?" Kira asked the man, before turning to look at the aircraft again, giving it one last size up and down, '"Skyranger", eh?'

With that, she stepped inside and took one of the last two seats, strapping herself in the moment she parked her tush down. She'd only just finished ensuring she was actually secure and nothing was too tight on her when she overheard someone talking.

"Well I sure as hell didn't join the military for the pay! I wanted to serve my country, and now I have the chance to serve all of humanity. I don't see a more important job than that."

That was the same exact tone that Kira's fiance, Reece Baxter, always had to him. Sure, he was cocky as all hell, but he had a great aura of pride about him; and that was what Kira missed most about him. Her thoughts then drifted to her son, and then her three daughters. A single tear rolled down from Kira's right eye at a snail's pace, as she pulled out a cigarette box from one pocket and flipped it open. There were only a few cigarettes left, one of which protruded out from the corner of the box in a tempting manner.

Kira's nicotine addiction was starting to torment her at this point, and knowing exactly where her lighter was with its ease of access wasn't helping. But, using her better judgment, she flipped the box back closed and pocketed it again as the Skyranger's engines roared to life. There was a time and a place to light up a cigarette, and she had a feeling this was far from that time or that place.

"Tell me something, sir," Kira asked the first man, as the Skyranger was preparing to ascend, "How did your people come to know of me? And furthermore, what do you know of me?"

Eventually, Tylissa and the others encountered all the other humans that had been brought to this netherworld. Normally, Tylissa would be excited to see a whole crowd of people, but in this specific instance, she didn't know how she should feel. Her head sank low and her smile began to fade again.

'Tyler was right. There are other people here,' mere seconds after this though came to mind, Tylissa found herself gripping the side of her head again, That still doesn't stop this from not making any sense, though!'

However, there was something different about the mass of people there. They looked they've been here before, and they looked like they were prepared to battle... which was a good thing because a battle was exactly what they all got. Monsters were coming in from all different directions and attacking the large group, only to be blown away by all sorts of spells that were being flung wildly through the air. Naturally, witnessing all this had enthralled Tylissa, as she inched closer and closer to the fray so she could get a better visual.

"Wooow. This is so cool!" Tylissa exclaimed in her excitement.

However, before she could separate herself too greatly from the others, the sound of someone being slammed to the ground caught her attention, and as she turned back around to see what had happened, she saw that a stray Shadow had managed to trip Jacob over.

"JACOB!!" Calling out his name, Tylissa rushed back towards him, but someone more capable of rescuing him had got there first.

It was the White Rabbit; the very same being that Tyler was trying to find for everyone, all in the flesh. Not only did she effortlessly kill the Shadow that had attacked Jacob from behind, but her Persona was able heal him back up to full strength.

"That was amazing. How did you...?" Tylissa was about to ask the White Rabbit how she could do all that, but the answer to that question had came before she could complete it; in the form of a Chronovoker being tossed her way. She had to drop the stuffed toucan she'd been carrying so she could have her hands free, and she'd fumbled so badly with her attempted catch that it looked more like she was playing hot potato hot potato with the Chronovoker instead of actually grasping it, but it eventually it rested in Tylissa's hand.

The White Rabbit had said that she didn't have time to properly explain how the Chronovokers would work. But for all the good that sorry excuse of a summary did, she might as well have expended that time anyway. How she expected a child of all people to successfully comprehend something anywhere near that vague, no-one would ever know. But Tylissa... well, she tried. She opened the Chronovoker, waited for a few seconds for something to try and set in her mind, and closed it again. When that failed, she repeated those same steps. And repeated them. And repeated them. And repeated them. And repeated them once again. The pauses between each open and each close were growing shorter and shorter as desperation began to sink in on Tylissa's end, until they ultimately proved non-existent, and all the girl looked to be doing was rapidly opening and closing the Chronovoker endlessly.

"This isn't WOOOOORRRRKIIIIIIIIING!!" Tylissa screamed as she neared her breaking point.

Unfortunately, that only caught the attention of another, different looking Shadow; one of the ones that resembled monkeys. It looked over towards Tylissa and, deciding that she'd be its new target, charged in her direction and lunged at her. With her failed attempt at getting her Chronovoker to function properly, Tylissa could only shriek and raise her arm in an effort to protect her head.

...

However, before it could touch her, a pitch blackness had seemingly erupted from the Shadow, and enveloped the whole forest, the ground beneath her feet and even the whole sky. Tylissa blinked in confusion, having absolutely no idea what had just transpired.

"Hey, did any of you guys see that?" Tylissa turned to face the others, only to find they weren't there, "Tyler? Arthur? Jacob? Anyone?!"

No-one was able to answer her. Now starting to be concerned, Tylissa looked down at her Chronovoker in hopes that something it had done might explain what was going on around her. Sure enough, its hour hand had been moving backwards at a size-ably quick pace, and the rotations that the minute hand was performing were barely registering as anything more than a blur.

"The hell is this thing doing?" Tylissa mused, "Take me back to my friends, you stupid thing!"

As if to defy her command, the Chronovoker continued with its rotations. It passed the 12 o'clock mark once. Twice. Thrice. Four times. It was only passed the 3 o'clock mark on its way to complete its final rotation that the Chronovoker showed any signs of slowing down, and even then, it still had enough momentum to effortlessly pass the 2 o'clock and 1 o'clock mark. By the time it stopped, both of its hands were on the 12 o'clock mark. Then suddenly, the sound of thunder struck, and that was enough for Tylissa to finally see something.

...

Everything beyond 200 meters of Tylissa's vision was all hazy, but she could at least identify that she was in a cemetery of sorts. Just ahead of her was what looked to be an array of human adults dressed in black, all of which were facing her left, and standing in front of a priest. And to the priest's left, Tylissa saw another group of humans carrying a coffin, and preparing to set it down. Right at the very front of the first group, Tylissa noted an elderly couple trying their best to comfort a heavily grieving girl, who had the top part of her face buried in her hands as tears leaked through her fingers. Tylissa gasped, clasping her hands over her mouth with her eyes wide open.

"I know that girl. That was... th-that was me!" Tylissa renounced to herself, "But the only time I remember crying that much was..."

As the ceremony that the priest appeared to be conducting came to its close, the two front-most pallbearers had reunited with the elderly couple, with the girl rushing towards the open arms of the female pallbearer. In an instant, every image that ever represented a human vanished, and in their place were cascading drops of rain that had pelted on Tylissa and the ground on which she stood. The coffin was no longer visible either; all that was there to mark its location was the main headstone. Another thunderclap could be heard in the distance, and with that, Tylissa sprinted towards where the headstone could be found, only to fall onto her hands and knees. She knew it. This was the funeral for the P3 Syndrome victim that was Kazie Cannon, and as her big sister, Tylissa knew the pain of losing her all too well.

"She was one of your own... was she not?"

"Huh?" Tylissa's eyes lit up for a second, having caught the sound of an unfamiliar voice, "You mean my sister Kazie?"

"The very same," replied the strangely soothing voice, "Tell me. How painful is it to lose one that you love?"

"It hurts... it hurts way too much..." tears streamed down Tylissa's cheeks as she said this. Taking the time to wipe them away, she stood up, and turned to face the owner of the voice; a lone womanly figure in a grass skirt and bare feet. The figure looked completely out of place in a graveyard setting, but then again, Tylissa wasn't one to complain.

"I was only 9 years old when Kazie died; and Kazie herself wasn't even 7 yet. When I found out that the P3 got to her, I... I..." before she could finish what she was trying to say, Tylissa found herself wailing in agony once more. Noting this, the figure's face had significantly saddened as well, realizing that the pain Tylissa must've felt was too much to describe.

"I understand your anguish," she stated solemnly, "However, if I may correct you on something... this "P3" that you speak of does not exist. In truth, the one you loved had been targeted by a malevolent will, as have multitudes of those younger than yourself."

"WHAT??!!" Tylissa exclaimed, her eyes being shot wide open, "You mean that she didn't just simply die?! But that someone killed her?!"

"Yes; that is in essence what I am conveying," the figure acknowledged, "Even as we speak, more and more lives are rendered forfeit by those from your own world, and this number will only escalate so long as this malevolent will remains unopposed. Will you allow this to continue? Or will you stand against the malevolent will and fight?"

Tylissa was still shocked from the possibility that her little sister could've been killed off this entire time but, after taking a few seconds to steel her resolve, she gave her answer. There was only one suitable answer, and there'd only been one from the start.

"Are you kidding?" Tylissa asked defiantly, "I'd walk right up to that bastard and kick his ass if I could!"

"Very well; then let us forge a contract, and together, we shall enact retribution in the name of those that had fallen."

"Yeah! Now we're talking!" with her mood improved, Tylissa suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask the figure something important, "Wait, hold on. Who are you, exactly? Are you... my Persona?"

In this respect, the figure simply smiled... and then her entire body began to emit a blinding light that enveloped the entire area.

"I am thou. Thou art I. From this day forth, know that I, Hi'iaka, will always be by your side..."

...

Suddenly, Tylissa found herself back in reality. The Shadow that had lunged at her wasn't right in front of her anymore, but she found it again after turning around a full 180 degrees. It looked as though the Chronovoker was able to throw off its aim when it activated, causing it to overshoot completely. It growled, and was rearing to go for round two. But this time Tylissa was ready for it.

"Let's do this. Persona!" a familiar dark-skinned woman stood in front of Tylissa, staring down at the monkey Shadow with a distasteful look in her eyes. Some more monkey Shadow ran over to reinforce the first one, but that wouldn't save it from Hi'iaka's divine judgement.

"Alright then; which one of you bastards was the one that killed my little sister, huh?" Tylissa asked the Shadows angrily, "Was it you? Or was it you?!"

As Tylissa pointed to each of the Shadows, Hi'iaka casted a pillar of light underneath their feet, which effortlessly disintegrated them into black mush that would later be absorbed by the ground. Fearing for their own lives, the other Shadows quickly scurried away, leaving Tylissa to try and find more Shadows that weren't already in battle with all the others.
