Well, I've been getting into the Persona series again and re-found my love for them, and after so many tries at Persona RP which I have either dropped out because of RL situations or just plainly lost interest, I think that now that I am getting some more free time than before, I'd try my hand at hosting my own. So, I wanna see who else would be interested in a Persona RP and also sort out some details for the RP. I am aiming to have this RP in a high-casual-ish way, so acceptable grammar is a must, as well as no one liners or few liners.
Ideas, ideas. Well, I don't want this RP to move all by my hand and might, so for whoever interested, then please voice out any ideas you may have. As for me, here are some of the ideas I have, please notice that when RPing in a pre-set universe, such as Persona, I don't like having canon characters meddling in, so this is more of an AU, as stated in the title. Note: Some of this ideas aren't entirely my own, so any credit goes to the original author of this who may or may not be around anymore (Sorry, but I can't remember the username of some of them).
Well, mostly as the title says, we are in Tatsumi Port Island, go into Tartarus, have some badass Evokers and the story revolves around the group S.E.E.S, now formed entirely from our OC's. Many aspects of this, such as The Fall or related things of it may change. Heck, I may even go with a different storyline with just the above listed canon elements being in play. Also, no Wild Card user here. Social Links are here, but they help develop your Persona rather than giving you more Personas. We would have a calendar system to tell us when is a full moon and everything. (Credit for Social Links goes to Lionheart)
Set in Inaba or maybe other city, right when the murders start. Our characters and their Personas set out in a quest to try and stop whoever is commiting them. Only canon elements would be the TV World, the Midnight Channel and the other selves, who would be entirely up to the player when we confront them. Teddie, or someone like Teddie my come into play if players so want. Social Links and calendar system also apply here. Again, no Wild card user.
Set in a city where there's been an increasing rate of people with a particular mental disorder. Due to the little information about it, it has named after the discoverer of a particularly similar mental disorder, this is The Lhermitte Effect. An approach scientists and medics have tried to look into is that this is caused by the constant emission of airborne fumes from the factories in the city that have affected directly the brains of some of the individuals on the city. The Lhermitte Effect causes heavy visual and auditive hallucinations, which cause a violent behavior on the subject. This hallucinations have been described by patients as "walking through an extremely long hall with many warped things on it and odd, blobby creatures trying to attack me". However, the approach of the doctors is far from reality. The cause of the now famous Lhermitte Effect are the Shadows that come from the world reflecting the human mind. They can slip into the real world when the 'hour' comes. It is something unpredictable and completely random, and whatsmore, people who can't perceive it are the true victims of the Lhermitte Effect and people who can in fact perceive it, are attacked relentlessly not only by the regular shadows, but also by their extremely deathly Shadow Selves, but its objective isn't to simply get you to accept it, no, it is to kill you and become 'you' in the real world. There have been Shadow Selves who have accomplished such and are slowly warping this world into something like their own.
This idea is a collaboration between me and Noel. Social Links and Evokers will be a thing here. No Wild Card user and everyone gets only one Persona, which may evolve.The Velvet Room will also play its role here, and Evokers will not be only guns, though if you want it to be like that, then go ahead. No calendar system here. We'd most likely go with a Japanese High School setting, unless you didn't want to.
I'll be a little more flexible with Arcana, but still, no more than two people per Arcana, except for the last idea. So, if you're planning to call dibs on one, then do it now. Here's a list of Arcana, so I can keep track and so people can see which Arcana has already been taken.
0. Fool Arcana
I. Magician Arcana
II. Priestess Arcana
III. Empress Arcana
IV. Emperor Arcana(chukklehed)
V. Hierophant Arcana
VI. Lovers Arcana
VII. Chariot Arcana
VIII. Justice Arcana
IX. Hermit Arcana
X. Fortune Arcana (Makatsume Haru)
XI. Strength Arcana
XII. Hanged Man Arcana
XIII. Death Arcana (Noel)
XIV. Temperance Arcana
XV. Devil Arcana (Draconilian)
XVI. Tower Arcana
XVII. Star Arcana
XVIII. Moon Arcana
XIX. Sun Arcana
XX. Aeon Arcana
As you may or may not have noticed, Jester, Judgement, Hunger, World and Universe CAN'T be selected. I will not be flexible for this, unless you want to play a villain, if that's the case PM and we may talk.
Also, here's the list of Arcana Click in the Arcana you'd want if you're curious about it.
Original Personas are allowed! Just be sure you stay within the range of mythological figures OR be extremely creative when you create your Persona and make my jaw drop in awe and I may allow an original Persona.
And last, but not least.
