Personality Traits

Kenkōichi's usual suspect and general headache, Rio is a hot-headed girl whose brashness causes her a lot of trouble. Her tendency to be blunt regardless of who she speaks to makes her come off as cold and uncaring and she is unapologetic about who she hurts so long as she gets to speak her mind freely. There's an underlying sense of arrogance in the way she carries herself, often appearing to be snobbish--though that flies out the window the moment she starts yelling and shouting. Her aggressive demeanor is usually enough to keep people away and her general distrust pushes away the rest. When she isn't riled up, she's surprisingly on the quieter side, preferring to keep to herself. She's extremely expressive, her deadpan looks and scowls obvious even if she does manage to keep her comments to herself.

Backstory

Rio arrived like a hurricane and completely blindsided the staff--no one seems to know where she came from or why she's attending Kenkōichi International Academy. Despite numerous complaints about her attitude and tendency to get into brawls, she has yet to be suspended or expelled. The staff has been baffled by this, though they are reassured by the principal that she is simply to be disciplined and he would take care of contacting her parents. Said parents are either overseas or nonexistent according to some rumors, although no one seems to be too interested in where she's from and are more concerned about wrangling her under control.
From what people have learned, Rio is a latchkey kid currently residing in town with no authority figure in sight. She outright refuses to talk about it, although has let slip that she's an only child. She's not entirely familiar with Kenkōichi but does know where most major landmarks are. She also has some awareness around the town's borders, often taking any tussles there in an effort to get both police and the school off her back.

Gear

Rio specializes in physical combat, her participation in 'gang' fights giving her plenty of experience--she carries around a baseball bat outside of campus on occasion for protection.

The rest of her day was uneventful, but Cara supposed it meant at this point she was finally starting to get used to things. Her initial instinct had been to find her sister once classes ended, but she supposed that she should take Adonna's advice and give the girl her space. Maybe for the better, she didn't want to come off as smothering or anything. What she did want to put her energy into would be a good workout, and with gym bag in hand, that would be exactly where she would be headed once she got changed.

She could never remember if the university's gym had its own changing room, always changing in the bathroom and arriving from another entrance. Eventually, she planned on renting a locker or something. Did they have those here? She should probably find out, if she wasn't in class or at home the gym was usually where she'd be. Putting on her headphones, she queued up a peppy song to give herself more energy. She was really to rumble about two minutes in, stopping only to remember that she needed to move her bike. Ugh, why didn't London just have parking like any normal city?!

As she walked, the fog surrounding her seemed to be thick. She didn't think anything of it until her signal gave out, stopping her music. "Of course," She muttered to herself, giving the screen a look. No signal? She was going to give that salesman a piece of her mind, she specifically went on this phone plan for coverage here! Ignoring it for now, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and kept walking. And kept walking. And walking? "Uh...?" She blinked a few times, deciding that she must have made a wrong turn. She should have reached the street by now, she couldn't have been that hopeless, right?

Coming to a stop, Cara swore she saw someone doubled over in front of her. Without thinking, Cara hussled over, dropping her bags as she knelt down next to him. "Hey! You okay?" She asked him.

So we're on @Hero's time. Typical.

Scion: Children of Light

It's a good thing the girl wasn't a divination-wanna-be since her deduction skills seemed to be stating the obvious. Not that it mattered much, it wasn't like Sarahi was looking to impress anyone. That said, Diadem did seem to catch her attention--no surprise there--as it usually attracted the attention of most girls their age. The little butterfly was pleased, fluttering over and clinging to Sarahi's hair as the tingling bells rung in the air excitedly.

Our light is appreciated! Huzzah! Diadem buzzed in her head, apparently thrilled at the compliment as Sarahi's cloak rustled for a moment.

"Then tell her, not me," Sarahi muttered.

There wouldn't be a chance for the butterflies to communicate as an older gentleman came to interrupt the conversation. Sarahi raised an eyebrow at the man, the face familiar but nothing coming to mind. She should have probably thanked him for saving her from the rest of the conversation, but most didn't respond well to that sort of comment. Instead, Sarahi would bow her head to the pair and take her leave as well, figuring there was little reason to stick around. Sure, she could have maybe sought out the other initiates, but that seemed annoying.

As the thought crossed her mind, she could hear her mother's high pitched laughter, a groan trapping itself in the back of her throat. Nope, nope, nope, she wasn't dealing with being paraded around like a toy. Not today. The question was what to do with this time, though. She supposed she could just ditch the celebration and get some studying in, but with all the noise people were making, it was likely she wouldn't be able to concentrate.

As a few butterflies decided to join the other and cautiously cling to her hair as well, Sarahi thought she spotted her instructor-to-be. Well, that was certainly someone worth talking to, she supposed. Lightly patting herself down and having a few complaints that went ignored, she decided to approach the older woman.

Giving her the utmost respect, Sarahi gave the woman a deep bow. "Greetings, Sorcerer-Magus," She said, deciding to be cautiously optimistic about the encounter. "I'm looking forward to working together."

Everyone’s refreshing the thread and I’m feeling like taking a nap while Hero finishes her sheet

@DruSM157

Persona: The Rod of Asclepius

I'm guessing 6-7 plus the gms? Eh, regardless, good luck everyone!

@Savo

Persona: The Rod of Asclepius

@DruSM157

Worst case scenario, after you decide the acceptable players you could ask one or two of us to double up that you trust.

@Inkarnate

It's going to be a small group anyway, after the trimming it probably won't matter.

True, but I also find it interesting if a teacher joined the team. We’ve seen adults join the Persona Team before in P2, and teachers have been social links and confidants in P3 and P5.

If only king Moron could have been a persona user...

@DruSM157

That is like the worst example to use tbh that guy was...



...not great

@Renny how long has Caelum been in Japan?
