STORYLINE:
In the city of Akane, Japan.
Several incidents had been reported where people claim to have gotten ready for bed, fallen asleep, and then found themselves being hand cuffed in the back of a police car covered in blood. They claim to have seen buildings and monsters in their dreams. None of them the same. But all claim to have nothing to do with finding themselves being arrested. The mental institution is receiving the criminals.
These people were found in stores, libraries, any public space, trying to rip people apart, killing with abandon. The only thing that seems to connect between them and the only thing the witnesses that lived can say about them are the fact they have a red glow to their eyes. The hospital has given conflicting reports to the police on the patients they have sent over from the, what they have named, the Death Walker Syndrome.
Patients seem entirely coherent, sane, and normal during their waking hours. The doctors have found once the patient is sedated or falls asleep naturally, they awake with eyes aflame and angry. They try to kill anyone near them. They have to be locked away when they sleep. The doctor's claim that something must be possessing their minds some chemical may be off in their brain but no one can figure it out. They can only try tests, experiments to try and fix whatever has gone wrong.
The Kirijo Group is investigating into these incidents, seeing things like this before and sending two people from their team. Fuuka Yamagishi and Akihiko Sanada to the city to see if shadows could the the cause of the problems. They find, interestingly enough, that it is attached to shadows. Shadows are attaching themselves to the body and taking control of them to destroy the humans.
With their investigation under way, the pair has found that there is a small group of people that have the potential to sever the ties between the shadows and the human bodies. They enter the dream of others, finding the shadow and their real self inside and severing the ties between the pair. Several of them they have found in a college campus and round up what they can. They cannot enter the dreams themselves, but they set about helping those who can figure out how to fix this.
This will be the group heading into a single member's dreams and severing ties to start with. Every time someone new joins we will do this. This will be college setting, not everyone has to be a college student. You can be a teacher, a high school student. But it will be in a college dorm to start this off with and bring the first group together. The only character's you will see from other Persona games will be Fuuka and Akihiko who will not be able to help you guys fight but will be there in the waking world to help figure out who the person is dragging people into the dream world to become Death Walkers.
Other story things you might want to know. There will be no calendar and no social links. The former might kill an RP and the latter DEFINITELY can kill an RP! But hanging out and talking with your fellow members is a good idea. Getting to know them so you can trust one another when you are in the dreaming world.
You only get the one Arcana, you have one starting persona when you start dreaming if you aren't in your own mind. When you sever the ties with your shadow the Persona will evolve to the second tier soon after wards. (You won't get the change right away, but you will have the evolved persona soon afterwords)
The entire goal of the RP will be to find out who is dragging people into this dream world and how to sever the ties between them and the dream world. So investigation will be a must and character interactions!
Kind of posting/the rules I expect people to follow:
No Godmoding, No flaming of the idea, keep it at least PG13ish please. No excessive swearing or gore or intimate scenes. No arguing with one another and if there is settle it with yourselves because if I have to get involved--I really don't want to have to get involved. This will be a fairly free ranged Roleplay, do whatever you want/need in your waking hours and once you sleep everyone will be dumped in the same place. You will not dream every night, but you will get the dreams when the plot demands!
I will have a character so I wont just be running NPCs.
I would like at least a post every week or two. Decent length. No one-liners. I would love at least 2 paragraphs from people. If you are going to be gone for more than 2 weeks we will move on without you if you don't let me know.
I'm a really easy going, relaxed person. If you have a question ask me, we'll see what we can do!
This topic right now is to just see if I have enough interest to keep refining my plot or if I should give it up lol.
Thanks for reading, let me know below if you'd be interested in playing or if you have questions.
