10 years ago... Hymera City was once a city of peace and happiness. That was until Salazar Blackfire became the Mayor of the city. Salazar was a ruthless dictator and his word is law. Disobey his law and he will summon a mysterious being called "Persona" to execute the criminal. Persona, a mysterious power that he can bestow to his subordinates. Because of this, not even the country's government could save the city from this corrupted man. However, four people managed to awaken their persona without the help of Salazar. They were the first people to rebel from the government and now call themselves the "Las Mascaras". These people hide their identities in costumes and masks to save the city from corruption and dictatorship. Now choose: Fight for freedom or fight for law. Your choice.
So yeah it's a Persona RP slightly inspired by Persona 5. and instead of an RP driven by writing only elements. I want it to feel a bit like the game. so I will make stats a center for strength so it can be fair at all times. so the stats will be like this:
HP: 50 SP: 30 STR- determines how much your physical attacks will do in battle INT- determines how much your magical attacks will do in battle. also increases SP by 3 each point END- determines how much damage will you reduce. also increases health by 5 each point. AGI- determines how fast you will move in battle (turn orders) LCK- determines your crit chance and evasion
All has the maximum of 100 Damage Formula: (squareroot of STR/INT divided by enemy's END x Skill Power) x MOD
STR if your attack is a physical type, INT if magical MOD = Modifiers such as Tarukaja, Rakukaja, Mind Charge, elemental strengths and weaknesses, etc Skill Power = refer to the moves list later on
ex. You will do an Agi Attack let's say: squareroot of 5/3 x 80 5 divided by 3 is 1.67 and times 80 is 133.33. Now sqrt of that is 11.55. We round that off so it becomes 12. If the enemy is strong against fire then it's 6 fire damage as all elemental strengths give a 50% damage resist to that element. If that enemy is weak against fire then it's 24 fire damage as elemental weaknesses gives you a 100% damage boost with that elemental and it also downs the enemy. so be careful about choosing your elemental weaknesses.
for the modifiers let's say that: you have Tarukaja/Rakunda, that's a 30% damage boost so the 30% of 12 is 3.6 add that = 15.6. round that off again = 16 then it can bollowed by Boost and Amp passives if you have Mind Charge, that goes last bcoz rulezzz. It doubles the attack so your total damage is 32
defense boosts such as Rakukaja are then applied after the damage boosts.
Okay, for the next segment. I thought that everyone should be able to wield multiple personas like in the first two persona games. But not everyone can wield all personas in the arcanas, they are limited because they need to be compatible with their arcanas. So in this RP, along with your main arcana, you can have 3 secondary arcanas that can determine which other personas in other arcanas can you wield.
Sooo in the first two games, you have to gather cards and visit Velvet Room to use these cards as a catalyst to summon a new persona. So yes, demons are baaaccckkkk just like in Persona 5. Because of the presence of personas in Hymera City, it also attracted the demons. But despite the demon's arcana, everyone gets a free card for a successful negotiation (for the sake of convenience)
I also thought I want to keep the Persona 3-5 vibe of the game. so I kept the Social Link functions! Yes, you can make social links with other characters. So everyone can be involved and at least camaraderie between us the roleplayers. Of course, just like the game, there will be benefits if you have high social links.
Rank 1 = 50% damage reduction if you took hit for that ally + 5 empty cards Rank 2 = 10 empty cards Rank 3 = you can perform a fusion attack with that ally + 15 empty cards Rank 4 = 20 empty cards Rank 5 = can cure your down status if managed to down an enemy + 25 empty cards Rank 6 = 30 empty cards Rank 7 = can cure a severe mental ailment if managed to down an enemy + 35 empty cards Rank 8 = 40 empty cards Rank 9 = 45 empty cards Rank 10 = ultimate persona awakens for the both of you + 50 empty cards
Yeah since this is a war. There will be two factions: The Rebels(Las Mascaras) and The Government. SMT-wise, the Rebels are Law-alligned and got their Persona from Philemon. This makes the Government chaos-alligned and got their Persona from Nyarlathotep. However, Persona-Users under Nyarlathotep are barred from entering from the Velvet Room. Thus, they have the "Crimson Room" (yeah I made that up). So yes, these two group will do their best to win and achieve the ending they want.
Now, for the level ups and stat distribution. We will follow the Persona 2 style wherein the Persona ranks-up to get the skills and the actual user level ups. You get 3 stat points every level up and the max level is 100 (coz i hate odd numbers).
