Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (To Save What Remains)

Updated to clarify Seto's CS as well as add on to the personality and history a little.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (To Save What Remains)

Seto Nanzo of The Society.

---

Yup, he was definitely right about the food. The finger foods served by the waiters and waitresses were a delicacy but there was also a small stand with the slightly larger and heavier cuisine; it was usually located on the same place and he did come to taste it every time there was a ceremony happening, so it was not like as if he needed help to reach it. If there was anything to be surprised about this all, really, was the variation of the cuisine. They seemed to have improved on the menu this round, as Seto could spot at least ten different types of cheese and bread. He wasn't exactly a person to recognize exactly which country's specialty they all were, but no doubt they were mainly if not all French; he heard from his parents that the lady of honour tonight was French, so it was merely piecing the information together. Besides, back at his ceremony it was virtually nothing but unfussy dishes and tea so there was that too.

The audience went for another round of applause, but the machinist ignored it; his hands were full with a plate of food. He walked a fair bit away from the food stand in case there were anyone else wanting to fill their hunger [for he was a polite man... somewhat] and grabbed whatever was on his plate. Hm, bread. What a surprise.

It was around the time he was up to his second bread whose name escaped him - all he knew was that it was a long bread - when something or someone appeared in his vision. He was totally not expecting company, and besides he was too busy talking to himself in his mind, and most important of all he was in the process of swallowing. Needless to say the jump made the lump of about-to-be-digested carbohydrates hit his throat in an unexpected way which made him cough vigorously. He hastily let the plate fall on the nearest stand as not to waste the free food, one hand going for a certain flask around his belt holster. With practiced movement he flicked open the cap using one hand and gulped down the flask labelled "H2O", seemingly ignoring the concerned impact from the back. It never contained enough to quench a full-blown thirst, he knew, but it was enough to forcibly pass the lump down the right path down to his stomach. He took a few seconds of silence to catch his breath, then finally gave attention to the figure that made him jump while replacing the flask back in the holster. He heard her panicked voice to realize there was no danger, nor was it intentional. Instead of any sort of retaliation, he merely bowed a little as a half-courtesy and half to match the young lady-of-honour's eye level.

"Good evening Lady... Difru," He started, pausing a little from trying to pronounce it as he remembered. She had announced it only moments ago just before the show of her Persona so it should be correct. His eyes met the tiniest glint from the all-too-familiar ring and willed his voice to come out once more in its boredom-laced manner as he would any other guest who he should be 'courteous' too.

"Many blessings, I do appreciate the warm welcome so soon after the ceremony; how may I be of service? Though surely there are others here who are far better suited for your needs. Unless of course there is broken machinery to fix, well then there is no other man better suited than myself."

The Arcana Magica Summoners

Can I get a confirmation of minimum number of summons we're starting off with? I mean iirc we'd be smack bang in the middle of a tourney so I'd expect the summons to play into the roleplay from the start so I'll need to fill in the missing summons to get them approved and all.

Naveah said @Side CharacterG - since there's not really a way Mya and Pat can talk right now, do you want me to make a new character so you can RP? or you could make another character that's already in the rebellion so Celeste has someone to talk to at the moment? idk just thinking of ways for us to RP.

Are you okay with me making two characters? :o alright, give me a few hours to introduce them. [also lol I apologize I was focused with a different roleplay and didn't realize you were addressing me too.]
I kinda wanted Pat to have been taken for experimentation right after the meal and would be 'released' from the experiments when something else had happened where he can interact i suppose.

Screen Name:
Side Character G

Character Name:
Davis Cole

Gender:
Male

Age:
Around eighteen

Appearance:
His 6'0" physique is somewhat closer to chubby than thin and looks almost perfectly healthy; something you don't see that often in a place like the island. That is, if you ignore the fact that his skin is lightly pale like the rest of the permanent residents around. Even then there's this shiny aspect to his complexion which prevents anyone from thinking it's a sickly sort of colour. His hair sprouts around his scalp like wild, long leaves and there's a permanent shade over his eyes thanks to the protruding forehead. Not that it makes his eyes invisible, but it does make others think that his olive-green eyes are darker than they actually are.

Davis often wears clothing that seems slightly baggy or half-size bigger. These are most often a combination of light grey, black and dirt thanks to his hobby.

Personality:
'Harmless' pranks are his purpose in life. Davis is considered annoying to most if not all the members of the rebellion, and it's not just because of his [compared to others] pudgy looks. His ability allows direct projection into one's mind, which means that if someone was hungry and he knew of this, he'd send them images of glorious meals or the scent of a delicious full course cuisine. This often results in him being beaten up until he stops, earning him another dirt smeared clothing colour to add to his outfit. He's also the number one don't-let-them-know-if-I-did-something-wrong-or-embarrassing, because the next thing you know, everyone in the rebellion will know.

It should be noted however that Davis is actually quite capable of combat; his extra weight does help him pack a strong punch and he never forgets to keep training every day. He doesn't actually eat all that much more than others [well... he might eat three people worth's food when he can...] but states that he has a naturally chubby body. Anyway, despite this he allows his rebellion mates and other test subjects push him around like that, which does signal to most that he's got his own good side.

This doesn't apply to anyone who's seriously bullying or hurting others though. He isn't exactly a patient man and can get violent [especially at an AISE personnel] as well as attempt to mentally scar by his ability.

Lastly, Davis tends to get really worked up and is quite self-serving. That means he usually fails to listen to others if he doesn't have the capacity to care, as well as the fact that depending on his mood he can get quite unreasonable to others. Especially to those who seems weak-willed or frightened at nothing.

History:
What little Davis remembers of his past are all about food. He remembers everything from the soft and warm cream soup as a baby to boxed lunch and sometimes a fancy dinner as a child. Sometimes he wonders whether these memories are real though; his memories of the different cuisine seems extensive compared to the fact that he was around the age of twelve when he was brainwashed as a test subject.

Speaking of which, the experiments which happened on him as a teen was supposed to allow him to dig into others' minds, sort of like a human brain scanner to retrieve information and the like. This experiment however has caused certain anomalies which the experimenters had described as his body rejecting and ultimately mutating the drugs which genetically modified him.

The catalyst to his involvement with the rebels was a small one. It started off with his appetite; that is, the amount of food that was evenly distributed wasn't enough for him. His choice of combating this situation was to take food from others. What else could he have done, when the experiments and his memory loss has taught him nothing about the dog-eat-dog world he was placed in? And his mutation of an ability was like a godsend to this very job, allowing Davis to harass others with the constant image sends and what-not. Amongst one of his 'victims' was a rebel member, and with a few more prodding he came across the information about the underground headquarters - a means to avoid the dreadful experimental times. It was an appealing idea, and with that he found out for himself if the information was true.

Rank:
Rebel

Ability:
Unlike what the AISE had planned, Davis' experiment had bestowed him the ability to transmit words, images, scent, sensations and sounds to a designated target's mind. This ability is one way; only Davis can send to a target and not the other way around. There is no place on the island he cannot transmit to [in terms of distance length] however it's not like he can pinpoint the mind of someone he doesn't know the exact location of. Instead he sends the message in a small area and if there is anyone there with a matching brainwave he wishes to send the message, then the message is sent. This therefore requires Davis to have met [or at least know the brainwave pattern of the target] the person so that he can memorize their brainwave.

Davis has also found out that he has muscle memory of using short knife or blades as well as basic combat skills and sewing.

Weakness:
Perhaps the biggest weakness Davis harbours is food. Strong-willed females come close second.

Number:
2090

Other:
I'll edit in the history part as the role play progresses or something since it was considered 'optional'.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (To Save What Remains)

Seto Nanzo of The Society.

---

Perhaps if the eyes of the crowd were even remotely fixed onto him, Seto would've considered clapping along with the others. By now, thankfully, he had attended enough of these banquets not to raise any lasting attention. Even so, it came as a surprise to the young machinist at how quick the members here were to dismiss him. He was a Persona user which was always a cause of alarm to those hungry for power. And then there was the fact that the Nanzo group held an outstanding reputation of one of the best in the chemical engineering business; a multi-national business that still operates in the midst of this troubling times with the Shadows and all, and he was the heir to this company once his father retires. That in itself, Seto was certain, would've made it difficult for the greedy pigs from taking their attention from him. The fact of the matter was that he nearly killed everyone here on his 'coming of age' ceremony, obviously long forgotten by the perpetrator himself. That incident had ironically labelled him as incompetent and an easy target once he claims his father's business.

Seto's attention went back to the stage as an old man stepped into view. Todd... or... what was his name again? He did a mental headshake, unable to remember, but in any case he observed with indifference as the 'star' of today finally received the seal that will bind her to this merry group. Of course he knew what was in the box without needing to look; he was the one at that stage only a few years back, receiving the exact replica. He could clearly remember that scene much to his distaste. Within the box would be a ring, one made with gold to symbolize greed and a dove to represent their arrogance; the Society was the last organization to keep 'peace', so what else could it symbolize?

The main event of today's banquet was coming to a close. Seto's hands went to his collars, straightening the already-tidy tie; his fingertips then slid down to his waist to pull his dark vest straight against his belt holster. Busying his hands with his attire was a habit of his, especially when they weren't in a situation to handle the cool and heavy touch of metal and machinery. Plus he saw no loss from looking his 'best'. As he mused this to himself he found his hands resting on the goggles sitting on his head. They held a glossy orange sheen, he knew, which easily contrasted to his dirty sable scalp. It was also something he liked to think of as his 'signature point'; something others could recognize him by. Unbeknownst to him, the goggles were actually the main reason his fashion sense were critiqued; there was a reason why no one wore goggles with a three-piece suit, especially when the suit's jacket was still hanging in the wardrobe back in the wearer's room. Plus they were overly shined; a single step into strong light and they relentlessly attacked the eyes of anyone trying to look his way from afar.

His part of the bargain with his parents were nearly over, thankfully - they did not mention anything about actually greeting the new member of the Society. Just that he should attend every banquets and events, espeically those involved with other Persona users. Be polite to those who speaks to him. And for whatever reason, never, ever let your insane Persona come out indoors.

'At least the food seems good,' he thought, moving from his initial spot to fill his stomach.

Sounds okay to me.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (To Save What Remains)

Name:
Nanzo, Seto

Age:
Twenty-One

Gender:
Male

Nationality:
British by birth/documents; Japanese heritage.

History:
From an early age Seto had a passion of working with machinery. He was perhaps born in one of the most ideal places for such passion since Birmingham was famous for its abundance of resources through international trades. Following his passion, however, proved to be difficult until later due to the fact that his parents had different ideals about his education. They were determined to give their only son the best of the best education, and so his days were filled with private tutoring of Japanese, his family's mother language, English, Mathematics, Science and more. It was apparent that if he did not stand up for what he really wanted to do, he would never get a chance to; with this in mind he tried his best to pass on to his parents what he really wanted to do. Starting from around the time he started his high school studies his parents finally gave in, leaving him to manage his own studies and time in exchange for joining a certain faction they were under. He knew that the fact that he had obtained a Persona around that time played a role, but that didn't matter to him at the time. All he was focused was the chance given for him to actually pursue his passion.

A notable incident occurred during Seto's Coming of Age ceremony.
He had made an agreement with his parents which meant he was at his best and polite attitude. He seemed like a capable member, one worth keeping an eye on as he was introduced to the Society, to which his parents beamed with approval. When it was time, the spotlight was on the young Seto; he rose with an air of confidence, formally introducing himself to the community. And at last was the time for him to materialize his Persona for the Society's entertainment and to appeal his position in the Game of Power. Badb Catha emerged as a murder of crows, true to her nature of the 'Battle Crows'. The ballroom instantly became a den of feathers as black as dried blood filled with mad screeches and wing beats as the crows circled the room, crashing every object not bolted to the ground to their feet. Chandeliers fell from their hanging place, and if that wasn't enough some even managed to attack the ceiling and walls. It just so happens that the building wasn't exactly Persona-proof, and by the time the crows fused to its actual form, a single giant crow, it was as if a tornado struck the place. Seto formally apologized for the mess, briefly hinting that it was an inevitable feat to summon his Persona, and complimented on the swift way other Persona users reacted. The incident did raise much debate but there were no deaths and the influence Seto's parents had allowed him to stay as a member. This incident, as well as how he went to immerse himself in dismantling an alarm clock right after the main event was over, gave relief to those who were worried that Seto might be a formidable rival within the Society, for who in their right mind would want such uncontrollable and unsociable Persona user in the ranks?

Personality:
Seto has a subtle aloofness when it comes to social interactions. Normally it's not something big enough to warrant action, but it does make him stand out from time to time. An example of this would be his odd sense of fashion or speaking out of turn. This stems from his malleable nature; that is, Seto would first head off in his own way, but when confronted or told to do otherwise he would seemingly obey. Gradually, however, he will make attempts to compromise so that he can have his way while also somewhat upholding whoever or whatever's wishes.

Persona:
Badb Catha

Character Arcana:
Temperance Arcana

Faction:
The Society

Equipment:

• A pair of airtight goggles with metal and rubber frames that screams antique, usually around Seto's head.


• Custom-made belt holster which carries bullet-sized and labelled flasks, each with different chemicals inside; also holds a switch blade and a multi-screwdriver.

[EDIT: I may or may not have accidentally erased the two questions which were here while editing the cs a bit... sorry.]
