Character

Name: Makoto Kusunagi

Grade: First year

Appearance:



Bio: Makoto never really stood out as a kid. Sure, she had a full head of white hair, but nobody really seemed to care. She was a foreign student from Australia, being half Japanese helped fit in more. Her mother was an odd woman, diagnosed with complete insanity in that she saw "things" or monsters that nobody else could. She grew up and told Makoto stories about these monsters, until her husband divorced her. In the divorce, he not only got Makoto but most of their belongings and moved to Japan to start a new leaf.

Yeah, like it'd be that easy.

Personality: She's considered an "outcast." She never got along with many people and tends to creep others out. She wants to try and break out of the icy shell she's developed out of fear of rejection. She also suffers from small town boredom, similar to Yosuke, and comes off as easily bored and way too sarcastic. This doesn't exactly help her cause, but Makoto has the ability to go from bitch to nice girl. Her obsession in demonology and the occult tends to also further her from others. Her father is an engineer, and taught her how to defend herself and made her the weapon she carries around now.

Starting Weapon: Self made sword (think like Red Queen, only without the revving up ability... just looks like it)
Weapon Class: One handed swords, rapiers

Character

Name: Reign

Grade: 3rd Year

Appearance:

When he doesn't wear his uniform, hes wearing what the pic shows. He has a brace on his left hand that covers the top of his palm and fingers, like a exoskeleton glove. It helps him move his hand from an accident. The same thing on his left leg.


Bio: Reign grew up with knack for scavenging. For some reason, he was really good at finding obscure places in things. It's even made him a couple spare bucks when he's found some rare items. It's also gotten him in serious trouble when he explored too far. After checking out an abandoned building for some left behind valuables, a part of the ceiling caved in on him, stabbing a metal support beam through his hand and leg, pinning him for a few days til help arrived.

Even after this, thanks to some recent technological advancements, he can still move around and do things. Unfortunately, his parents don't let him go exploring anymore, so he chose to try and be a detective to curb his curiosity.

Personality: An extrovert by nature, Reign likes to see the best in people. He tries to stay cheery, but can be pretty serious at times.

Starting Weapon: Steel Qatar
Weapon Class: Qatar

Strengths: Great at finding things, or guiding people, Very logical.
Weaknesses: Over-extended curiosity even at the expense of himself sometimes.

Also, just out of curiosity, would it be possible to combine P3 and P4? Like... if there's something from P4 that won't fuck up the canon and everyone likes it, we can add it to this?

_________________

The only real thing I have a problem with is... How will roleplaying actually work? Are we gonna monsterhunt based on a Game Master system? Role play it out and see what happens? What about story progression?

Depending on what we do this stuff takes work sometimes.

dude is that the guy from bus gamer?

awesome.

good characters all around though, although Ebony, it seems kind've strange for a devil like Abaddon to be strong against light AND use light spells while being weak to dark.

_________________

I suppose. Depends what the element is. If it's, like, the shadows of characters, I feel that would make the story a bit too cluttered (with the whole Shadow Arcana and OC shadows and all that).



I was originally going to have a turn-based battle system, but that seemed to be shut down for favor of a more simple experience. Instead, battle will be roleplay based, where I will take the reigns of monsters and other enemies and you guys will just duke it out RP style. However, I'd like, for the sake of balance and everyone's participation, that you don't go through and say "X grabs his gun and shoots the enemy, then casts bufu on it. Once it was knocked down due to a weakness to bufu, I shoot it again." And be limited on lethal actions per post, per say. And for the sake of such, when you're done with your little RP, you can, at the end, say what you're doing. It'll mostly be RP based, but simply for convenience detail what specific action you are going to do.
ex. "blahblahblahblahblahblahblahchicken
---------
Guard"

Monsters will be within Tartarus (as well as scripted events a la full moons). Dungeon crawling will be an interesting thing to handle, but what I had planned in the last one was that we appointed a leader everytime we went to Tartarus (or there was simply a designated leader all around). He/she would guide the group through Tartarus. Since dungeon crawling would take up much more notetaking and be rather time consuming (more saying "go right, go left" than actually RPing, most likely,) we can greatly simplify the process to it being moreso battle or event based (as in, you fight a 'boss' then go up a level, or you overcome a puzzle, then go up a level) and you progress as such.

Story will be like the basic framework of P3. As in, you're a group of students (bonded together through your ability) and you all work together to overcome shadows. Of course, that only gets us so far, so an antagonistic group (like Strega) can be made and put into play, and of course, we need an ultimate goal, which I'd like for you guys to set (as well as perhaps a 'big baddie')

I'm not going to be making any more of the story than you guys are, I'm simply here to set the thing up, take notes, and govern battles/progression.

Also, there will be school and a 'social link' system. Social links will basically just be short 1on1 RPs with the person you're doing it with (people can make their own Social Link OCs. I'm not really sure if it's necessary to include every Arcana like I planned on last time, we could probably just fill it around the main OC cast and give them social links to simplify the process)

Most of the roleplaying will probably take place in the dorm/school/social links. Of course, there will always be roleplaying going on, but, like P3 and P4, a lot of your time is spent doing things other than beating up shadows so... yeah...

I feel like I may not have explained all of this well, so I'll be sure to touch on it later as it makes more sense to me, and individually.

Anyway, both of your guys' characters look great. Though one thing Squall, which of the three types of physical damage do you mean in your Persona's strengths, or is it just in general?

I was making a play on how Lucifer was originally an angel, therefore a light creature. I can change it to dark without a problem though.

For some reason I want to be someone like the little nurse pixie in the second game who will heal you if you find her in a certain part of the dungeon

Character

Name: Taro Yoshiyuki

Grade: 3rd year

Appearance:
Hair color: Light brown
Eye color: green
Skin color: Slightly tanned

Taro is 5'8". However, he rarely stands. Due to -bio- he sits in a wheelchair and very seldom leaves it. He sometimes decides to walk with crutches, but this is not often done. He wears a hat to cover up a large scar on his head (which he prefers not to talk about, the story embarrasses him), where his hair had never recovered. The hair he does have is short, and, as such, does not leave the hat. It only comes up from his head about half-an-inch, but does have a shaggy form. Taro's face seems older than it should, due to stress, and he has stubble that covers the bottom portion of his face. Side burns reach down slightly, but are trimmed a little bit more than an inch down.

He wears the school uniform on school days, but has a custom-made tie with a blue and black checkerboard pattern. When casual in the winter, he has an expensive-looking peacoat-styled jacked over a white shirt, and standard dress pants. When casual in the summer, he wears jean-shorts and a blue tee shirt.

Bio: Taro was born with a birth defect that mutated his leg beyond repair, in a way that it was impossible to use. As such, Taro was confined to a wheelchair before he ever had the chance to walk. Taro was also born with a learning disability. This was due to the fact that his mother had drunk profusely, before she knew she was pregnant. With these in combination, Taro was never let to school. His parents decided, due to the fact that they were rather rich, that they could hire their own personal teachers. These personal teachers didn't care much at all, and simply went through lesson plans, got their money, and left. They didn't give Taro the special care that he required, and he never felt any type of progression.

When he turned twelve, he had accumulated a hefty amount of allowance money. Using this, he went to a local academic-aid center a neighbor's child had used, whom Taro had grown close with. The specialists who worked here had used Taro's learning disability as a springboard, using interesting and different learning methods, giving Taro ways to learn ways that suited him, and gradually, Taro started feeling confident in his intelligence, and this marked a new beginning for him. Taro pleaded to his parents to send him to a normal schooling system, claiming that he wanted to meet other children and feel how other children feel. Reluctantly, they did.

He used what the academic-aid center had taught him to excel, often taking notes in unorthodox ways, making diagrams, and other such things. His teachers were impressed by his intelligence and determination, and he became one of the top students in his classes. This was a boost to Taro's confidence, and Taro felt like he could take on any challenge.

He had received his scar one day when he was playing with the neighbor's child. They were throwing a ball back and forth, and it had lodged itself in a pack of bushes in another neighbor's yard. When Taro said he wanted to retrieve it, he went and did so. An old lady came out, screaming and hollering, she attacked Taro and hit him in the head with a large, somewhat sharp object, leaving a scar on his head. His parents later sued her and won.

When Taro was in his 1st year of high school, he realized he had the potential. He was going home with his parents from a minor event, when the dark hour came and his parents turned into coffins. Confused and horrified, Taro went off and wept. He was later found by a senior member of SEES and taken back. That's when he was gifted his Evoker, and awakened to his Persona.

Personality: Taro is independent, confident, analytical, determined, and intelligent. He is also somewhat sarcastic and cynical. He has a rather dark sense of humor, but isn't afraid to say it to whoever.

Starting Weapon: Does not participate in battle
Weapon Class: Does not participate in battle

Strengths: Intelligent, determined, can overcome obstacles
Weaknesses: Wheelchair-prone,

Arcana: Hermit

Extra Info: Taro is the treasurer of the student council. He is also in the honor society of the school.

Persona

Name: Agathodaemon

Appearance: Agathodaemon has what appears to be dark blue 'skin'. Agathodaemon has a round figure with stubby arms and legs. It wields a large staff in one hand, embedded with gold and diamonds, the tip of which is what appears to be an orb in which clouds are within. In the other hand is a book that has only one page. Agathodaemon's large round figure is transparent, and seems like some type of glass bulb. When summoned, he encircles Taro. It wears a tan and gold robe-esque garment. A small hole is in the robe, where Taro's head is when he is encircled.

Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None.

Starting Spells: Full analysis

-------------------------

I decided to take Hermit instead of Death (I originally planned having Death because Death can symbolize a new beginning), but I thought Hermit might make more sense, so Death is still open and stuff.



...sure?
