Persona - The True Self

Alright posted my characters into the character section. Also, can you change the 'e' to an 'a' since her surname is 'Hanazawa'? Will get to work on sending a new mirror world app thing in and then will get on with replying to DR from the old thread. By the way L, do we re-put the whole 'what our shadows say when you deny' bit in the app as well? And if so, under the 'your shadow' bit?

Persona - The True Self

Characters:

Akane Hanazawa

Name: Akane (Saito) Hanazawa

Age: 17

Arcana: Chariot Arcana

Personality: Despite being a bit tomboyish and being a bit stubborn, she goes out of her way to help others and defend those who are otherwise defenseless. No matter if the situation seems hopeless she never backs away and willingly throws herself in danger if its to help another. After finally obtaining freedom in Warakuma, her actions are seen as crazy or a bit eccentric but is generally well-liked amongst the students, especially the girls, some of which see her as their one true 'Prince' for how she would 'swoop' in and save people from unruly situations and managing to keep her cool is stressful situations. Though, in normal situations, she'd occasionally let her true feelings show and drop her facade.

While she enjoys fighting, she'll rarely instigate a fight, choosing instead to come in the defense of others. She is quite the Otaku, despite being strictly watched, she used to sneak in mangas behind her fathers back (with the help of her brother) and watching whatever she could. She'll do whatever it takes to live life the way she wants it and won't let others dictate her life for her.

Equipment/Skills:

• Mangaka
• Brawling
• Affinity with swords, especially the Katana

Background:
Hailing from the Ikebukuro area, Akane is the daughter of the Saito Group's head, Akihiko Saito, a crime boss. While she was pampered and spoiled, in a way, like you'd expect of a daughter of a crime boss or anyone who had it big, she never got it easy despite being the youngest, she has an older brother who is 7 years older. From the moment she turned 6 her father took it upon himself to 'toughen' her up by always putting her through rigorous training, regardless of whether she wanted it or not, with good intentions of course (not matter how cruel it seemed at the time). Like his father and his father's before him, it was tradition to have the 'family' involved in the family's line of work but that wasn't the only reason. Knowing the target that'll most likely be on her head once she got older, because of him, he wanted Akane to be able to defend herself in case anything were to happen to her.

Of course, She didn't see it that way and, naturally, slowly started developing an intense hate for him. In her junior high years, she held high marks, and was quite popular among the other kids in the school, as she was always surrounded by a 'flock' of people. Though 'popular', she drew the scorn of many who believed she was stuck-up, selfish, a thug and a matter of labels, mainly stemming for the fact of who her father was, despite showing otherwise. Regardless of how she was seen, she'd go out of her way to help others whenever she could, whether it was stopping thugs, giving others food or helping with small things. Though, no matter her intent, people would often run in haste from her after words or react harshly to her help but she resolved to help anyways despite this.

By the time it was her third year of junior high, her father, despite the training, tried to interfere more in her life, trying to stop her actions and get her to focus more on the 'family' and control her actions. Having enough, without his knowledge, she applied to various schools a good distance away from Ikebukuro hoping to get a fresh start. It didn't take long before she was found out and, of course, her father was furious, intending to enroll her in an elite school and groom her, with the intention to marry her off. However, as she neared her 15th birthday, those 'plans' came to a screeching halt when things went seriously wrong in a 'rescue' of one of her friends.

Before things could get worse, her Akito intervened and whisked her away to an lesser known location. Relocated to Warakuma, in an apartment building owned by her older brother, she was now living alone, and to dissociate her from the Saito Group, she adopted her mothers Maiden name of 'Hanazawa' while also dying her hair a purplish black.

Persona: Setanta

Appearance:


Cú Chulainn or known in his childhood as 'Sétanta' is an Irish Demi-God, the offspring of a mortal woman, Deichtine, the younger sister of King Conchobar mac Nessa, and the deity, Lugh, the god who governed over the sun and a member of the Danann divine family in Celtic Mythology. Deichtine, the daughter of a druid, Conchobar's father, and Maga, the widow of Ross the Red, disappeared in the Land of the Young without marrying anyone. There, she bore Sétanta , the child of the sun god. He took up the name Cú Chulainn after accidentally killing the guard dog protecting the house of master blacksmith Culann. After which he uttered, ""Does this dog have children? If he does, could you allow me to take care of them? I will raise them to be guard dogs just as strong as their father. Until then, I will be your guard dog."

It was prophesied that "this child will live as a hero" at a young age by the Chief Druid, Cathbad. Cathbad was powerful, with his divinations being strong enough to "determine the future" rather than simply "see the future." Not knowing how to handle the situation, he decided that he would tell it to only those who would take up arms on that day. The divination was bad enough that none of them attempted to go through the rites of warriorhood, though Cú Chulainn was fishing while leaning against a hazel tree due to his disinterest. He went through the rites of warriorhood on that same day, and received the prophecy that said "in exchange for glorious deeds of valor, his life would be short." He readily accepted such a fate, smiling and laughing.

Non-Persona Character

Akira Kirigakure

Name: Akira Kirigakure

Age: 18

Personality: He comes off as cold and rude most of the time, due to his appearance and occasional sarcastic comments and the fact that he doesn't mince words when speaking to people, when in actuality he's kind. Though, he can be quite hot-headed and reckless, a bit wild.

Class: 3-1

Equipment/Skills:

• Pinpoint[/*] - An excellent archer, which is an understatement consider he either placed 1st or 2nd in regional and national tournaments
• Boy's A Brawler[/*] - Having got into many fights when he was younger, and through all his time in the archery club, he became quite capable with his hands which translated well with his fists.

Background: Growing up in a sporting family, with his father having practiced Kendo in his early years, his mother in archery and his older sister, Aoi, having followed their fathers footsteps with kendo. Having looked up to his mother, for her strength of will and determination, Akira grew fascinated watching his mother shoot every morning. He thought her form and the motion of it all was beautiful and grew fond the the arrow getting released from the bow and hitting the target. With every days passing, he became determined to learn Archery and after awhile managed to persuade his mother to teach him. As the years followed, his talent began to shine when he placed 1st in a regional tournament in his first year of middle school and followed that up with a 4th place finish in the nationals.

While he was initially disappointed for not getting higher, having got a little ahead of himself because of his placing in the regionals, he changed his mind when he was scolded (albeit lightly) by his mother and assured that placing 3rd in the nationals was a big deal and he should be proud. From that point on to the end of his middle school career, he placed either 1st or 2nd in every competition he competed in. When it came time to pick which High school for him to go to, despite having received scholarships from schools with prominent archery programs, he elected instead to go to the local high school, warakuma high, where his friends and fellow archery club mates decided to go. However, when he got into high school, he started having problems with a few upperclassmen in the Archery club. Putting up with it for awhile, it reached its boiling point mid-way through the school year when they got into a heated argument which turned into an ugly bare fisted brawl that result in him getting kicked from the club. And in turn started giving him a bad reputation within the school as a 'troublemaker' or a 'delinquent'.

Aoi Kirigakure

The True Self - Persona

We most certainly could, but honestly we wouldn't have this problem if 3 of the starting party didn't disappear.

Sho Minazuki

Wait, who's the third? Wasn't the initial party Kato (RIP), Sachiko (MIA), Rui, and Kami?

My character (( when i make an app )) is going to be a female if this helps?

The_written_John

The only issue is that the Persona group only has one girl, who is inactive at the moment, but that will resolve itself in due time. We should probably do two girls after Matt before another guy if we're trying to make the Persona groups a little less sausage-y.

@Sen

You mean girls that have been into the mirror world, are fully 'awakened' users and is part of the gang? Because my Akane is a persona user and she's without a doubt active.

Alexei Dragunov: Warakuma Shopping District The girl mumbled something before crouching down herself, laughing to herself she dismissed his need to help her even though it was welcome. Alexei wondered how this town was so different from the big city. All the people he has met till now were really non-judgmental and warm. But what gathered her curiosity was that the girl took a particular name, a name that interested him since he was a big fan of the franchise. Gattsu of Berserk.The epitome of badass, if ever was a character could be one.

@Diabolicalrhapsody

AHHHHH ALEXEI HAS BEEN GENDERBENT. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Anyways, I'll reply tomorrow or something when im less tired. xD

The True Self - Persona

lol Alrighty DR, Post is up.

The True Self - Persona

Akane Hanazawa // Warakuma Shopping District April 12th, 2015 As she neared the edge of the shopping district, her mind a bit preoccupied from the scene she just seen, something came out from the building she was passing and bumped into her. Though, it was more of a slam when you consider the object that 'bumped' into her, causing her to drop all that was in her hands. The impact was strong and if it wasn't for all the hell she went through as a kid, she'd probably on flat on the ground right about now. "Felt like I ran into a damn boulder or something," Glancing upward at the man, Akane could see she was pretty much close. The man was BIG, not only in height but in size as well. The guy had muscles coming out the wazoo. He looks like he'd be more at home in the settings of Berserk or Fist Of The North Star than in freaking Warakuma. "What is this, Guts coming to life now?" she muttered, not realizing that the man probably heard it. Though, he probably wouldn't understand anyway. Without wasting any time, the man bent over to pick up the groceries, though not before apologizing. He had a bit of a strange accent. Sounds kind of familiar, Saitama? Hokkaido? Hmm.. Doesn't matter I guess. As long as he's understandable. But all in all she clearly didn't know this man, well, she could've sworn she has seen him by the gaters of her school. Maybe he's some kind of mobster or bodyguard who spent a little too much in the gym and this all isn't some kind of coincidence. She mused, 'her artistic' mind running wild. Clearly the manga and anime showing it's influence. Laughing to herself, "Ah, don't worry about it, it's fine. Thanks for picking them up at least. You really didn't have to." Since it's partially my fault as well for being too absorbed in thought... She decided not to add.

The True Self - Persona

I ran a roll call based on observation... So not really a roll call, just a purging. Active Rui Shinichi Matthew Harvester Kotori Shirohane Leiko Hamada Sutoraiki Kaminari Chiaki Nettu Akane Hanaezawa Tanaka Touma Ayano Wakahisa Hashimoto Sato Noboru Yamamoto Alexei Dragunov Low Active - (people who are still here, but no longer show interest) Shu Isamu Jace Caedus Inactive - (people who have disappeared) Akiko Asakura Ishihara Teiji Mogami Sachiko Updates - Chiaki Nettu is now Death Arcana. - Inactive and Low Active will no longer be in the RP.

Sho Minazuki

Does that mean my side character, Akira, will longer be in the RP or is that strictly for persona users? Bah, with Savo vanishing I guess that typo still prevails. My characters last name is Hanazawa, for some reason I originally put an e there though I've since corrected it. Oh and to DR, now that I did posts for my other RPs, I'll try and do a response to your character tomorrow.

I-Am-X

I believe that is strictly for the side characters and persona users who vanished off the face of the earth. They'll probably just be npcs of sorts, except their apps won't be posted... So we could sort of control them... Maybe.

Savo

Hmm, with them being out of school for the moment, I've got literally nothing for Akira to do. I just hope he wouldn't become un useable. After all, got some drama/story to go down with Rokuro, and possibly Chiaki out of amusement. xD
