A hidden twenty-fifth hour in the day when humans transmogrify into coffins, protecting them from the monstrous Shadows that lurk the darkness outside.
Twenty years ago, a group of students from Gekkoukan High School in Japan defeated and sealed away a creature called Nyx, ending the Dark Hour and destroying the labyrinth Tartarus while saving the world from destruction.
However, the Dark Hour has returned once again. And with it, the dread of Armageddon...
This time, the threat comes into Los Angeles, California. A small group of students have been offered full scholarship to James Karin High School and paid board at a specified dorm. Little do they know that their fates are about to collide.
-No god-modding. That's just impolite. There can be some leeway control, like turning around, but no soul-stealing. Which leads to...
-Don't kill off other people's characters without their permission! And if you gotta go, do it in a blaze of glory!
-Typos are okay, just don't let them build up. Double check your posts before you put them up. Also...
-if u typ ur posts like this, i am going 2 kick ur @$$! If your grandmother wouldn't undertand it, don't post it.
- Some cursing's okay, but no f-bombs or sailor tongues. Keep it T for Teen.
-KEEP IT REAL! Persona is set in our world, not Final Fantasy's.
That's it for general stuff. Now for Persona-specific stuff. This is elementary, but I still need to post it.
-Your character will recieve their Persona in the story. Your character has no idea of the power inside of them until it's released. Also, each character can only have ONE (Uno, un, ichi) Persona. However...
-At a ceratin pre-determined point in the story, you will be able to evolve your Persona to its next level. (Ex. Hermes -> Trismegistus)
- You will also gain access to the Velvet Room at a certain point.
-Your character must have an alignment with one of the Major Arcana. This also determines which Personae you can use as well as your character's personality if you wish. They will be listed in a bit. (Hehe. I accidentally typed "butt"... [grow up...])
-Your Persona will have elemental alignment as well. This will be listed with the Arcana for convenience.
- Your character has no elemental alignment and cannot use abilites. All powers come from summoning their Persona with their evoker. Persona can only exist in this world for a set amount of time.
-Persona are an extension of your character's psyche, so choose carefully. As such, htey do not have minds of their own and are under no contract.
-The story progresses in days, with emphasis on midnight, so don't go day-jumping. Live your life during the day and fight Shadows at night. NEVER GO OUT ALONE!
I think that covers it. Now for the Arcana and elements:
These are the Arcana available for use. If someone is already using one, it's off limits for diversity purposes. Notable Persona will also be listed
0- The Fool. Represents new beginnings, innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos, and creativity. Notable Personae include Orpheus, Legion, and Susano-o.
I- The Magician. Represents action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power (more specifically, the power to harness one's talents.) Tend to be more magic oriented, especially with Agi spells. Notable Personae are Hermes, Jack Frost, and Dis.
II- The Priestess. Represents hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and magic. Mostly healing and support abilities. Notable Personae are Unicorn and Apsaras.
III- The Empress. Represents prosperity, creativity, sexuality, abundance, fertility and comfort. Typically associated with Bufu and Dia spells. Notable Personae include Penthaselia, Hariti, and Gabriel.
IV- The Emperor. Represents desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable. Tend to be lightning (Zio) based, also focusing on physical attacks. Notable Personae are Polydeuces, Forneus, and Odin.
VI- The Lovers. Represents more of a symbol of love and romantic relationships, although it can also be a symbol of finding agreement with an ordinary friend or even two conflicting elements within. Healing and support based. Notable Personae include Io, Pixie, and Raphael.
VII- The Chariot. This Arcana is a symbol of victory, conquest, self-assertion, control, war and command. Notable Personae include Palladion, Ares, and Thor.
XI- The Strength. The Strength Arcana symbolizes an imagery beyond the Beast And Beauty, and is associated with the morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force. These Personae are adept with physical abilities. Notable Personae include Cerberus, Valkyrie, and Siegfried.
XII- The Hanged Man. The Hanged Man Arcana is associated with self-sacrifice for the sake of enlightenment, and the bindings that makes one free, paradoxes and hanging between heaven and earth. Personae of this Arcana are adept at survivability. Notable Personae include Inugami, Hecatoncheires, and Attis.
XIV- Temerance. This Arcana is a symbol of synthesis, prudence, harmony, and the merging of opposites. These Personae tend to be well-balanced. Notable Personae include Sylph, Seiryu, and Suzaku.
XV- The Devil. The Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things and be slave to ones' own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation. This Arcana specializes in Mudo(dark)-based abilities. Notable Personae include Succubus, Lilith, and Beelzebub.
XVI- The Tower. The Faling Tower Arcana is commonly associated to overly arrogant, prejudiced and authoritarian organization, which walk to their own ironic demise. Furthermore, it is also more generically used as an omen of doom and disaster. Personae of this Arcana tend to excel with physical abilities. Notable Personae include Cu Chulainn, Mara, and Shiva.
XVII- The Star. This Arcana is commonly associated hope, self-confidence, faith, altruism, luck, generosity, peace and joy. These Personae excel with Agi (Fire)-based abilities, but suffer great weakness to Bufu (Ice). Notable Personae include Nandi, Garuda, and Lucifer.
XVIII- The Moon. The Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery. In tarot readings, it can also represent being attuned subconsciously to the world around. These Personae tend to align with physical abilities, with average magic stats. Notable Personae in this Arcana include Dionysus, Chernobog, Sandalphon.
XIX- The Sun. The Sun Arcana symbolizes happiness, joy, energy, optimism, and accomplishment. Occasionally, it is also associated with one's initial happiness. These Personae excel in Agi and Hama(Light)-based abilities. Notable Personae include Yatagarasu, Horus, and Asura.
Elemental Alignment
All Persona are aligned with at least one element, two maximum. They also have an equal number of weaknesses. The elements are:
Agi- Fire Bufu- Ice Zio- Thunder Garu- Wind Hama- Light Mudo- Dark
You may align with Hama and Mudo, but remember that they tend to be unreliable and a good number of Shadows are resistant to them.
And finally... the character sheet! Believe me, setting it up's the hard part. Once you get going, it's pretty easy.
