Line #63 Roleplay/PersonaHeaven


1	It's another beautiful day in Nikawa and you get ready for school. News of people being found dead on their beds or bodies being sometimes found relatively intact on the street are becoming more common lately. There's a site that speaks about some sort of [[DarkWorld Dream Nikawa]], where monstrous shadows lurk during night.
2
3	One night you find yourself in a strange blue teahouse where a big-nosed old man tells you about a certain ability you have awakened through your bonds with people.
4
5	Good news is, you have awakened the power of Persona.
6
7	Bad news is, you are not the only one by a long shot. And not everyone is quite as noble or sane as you.
8
9	Persona Heaven is a popular [[PlayByPostGames Play-By-Post]] game that has gone through one season already. As the title implies, it is based upon the ''Series/{{Persona}}'' series. It is set in the vast city of Nikawa, which is divided into numerous districts: Hirasaka, Aoba, Igahara, Noukonku, Sakiyama, Kanzan, and Noriyama. Alternatively, once you awaken your Persona you'll be allowed into Dream Nikawa, the equivalent of a sandbox Persona Dungeon. So what will you do? Reach out to the truth or live in blissful ignorance? Save or conquer?

14	!!This roleplay provides examples of the following tropes:
15
16	* AbortedArc: While Events and Admin-created arcs are mostly finished, one can find some user threads with "Part One" written and no Part Two to be found.
17	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jhonathan Diaz.
18	* AnyoneCanDie: Or, specifically, any member may ask that one or both of their characters be killed.
19	* ArcWords:
20	** "Thou art I... I am thou..."
21	** "The Future Is Dark."
22	* TheBigDamnKiss: Between Reizo and Yuki in "Purpose, Meaning, and... Happiness?".
23	* BigNo: When Jhonathan sees a Shadow kill someone trapped in the DarkWorld, this is his reaction.
24	* BilingualBonus: The name of the school all the [=RPCs=] attend is Tsubasa Academy. Tsubasa means "wings".
25	* BusCrash: Rest in peace, Akira Seta, Izumi Aiyanna, and Yoshino Musashi.
26	* PutOnABus: Any character that hasn't been used in several months will get put in the Frozen thread.
27	* CityOfAdventure: Nikawa.
28	* ComicbookTime: DoubleSubverted. Time does pass, but nobody moves up in grades.
29	* CustomUniform: Demonstrated by several characters.
30	%% This is a zero context example. Please do not uncommentuntil further context has been added. * DarkWorld: Dark Nikawa.
31	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Meta example, but the same Persona is listed as claimed by the same person twice in the "Available Arcana[=/=]Face and Persona Claim" thread.
32	* DependingOnTheWriter: Largely whether or not it takes place in the same universe of the Series/{{Persona}} games. [[TakeAThirdOption Or in a universe of its own.]]
33	* DespairEventHorizon: A favorite theme of Dungeon Master umbraflamma. If you don't plan on breaking your character just yet, do not request him as a Dark Nikawa DM.
34	* EldritchLocation: Dream Nikawa. Complete with barren buildings and ominous skies, it has a striking resemblance to the depiction of Hell in Constantine's movie.
35	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Whether you refer to it as Dark Nikawa or Dream Nikawa, that is the case. It's a dark version of Nikawa that exists in people's dreams.
36	* {{Expy}}: Of numerous characters from the main series. To date: a few gay gangsters with a striking resemblance in personality to [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Kanji Tatsumi]], a KidDetective or two, and many others. Recently, a [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight dual-wielding ambiguously brown sword user]] with a smart mouth. The problem has gotten so bad, that the admins have officially stated that they will refuse to approve any characters that are blatant ripoffs of existing characters in other media any longer.
37	* FightingSpirit: The basis of entire magic system.
38	* GrandTheftMe: Introducing the horrifying Lemur shadows. They incapacitate their victim and take over the NPC's body, making it the material of a Resident Evil boss.
39	* HarsherInHindsight: Meta example, but the head admin [=ArchaicSong=] made a crack about breaking up Reizo and Yuki during the most recent event. Then, due the actions during the event, the two's Social Link goes into Reverse status. Everyone agreed about it in the chatbox.
40	* ImagineSpot: Just after TheBigDamnKiss of Rei and Yuki, Yuki has one where she's the protagonist in a {{Shojo}} manga during the romantic climax.
41	* LimitBreak: The Fusion Skills work like this. Your character can perform a powered attack at the cost of forfeiting the ability to summon their persona for the rest of the night.
42	* LittleNo: Yuki's reaction to Luna's death.
43	* MuggingTheMonster: This is how the thread "The Yanderes Snapped. We're Screwed." thread began.
44	* MythologyGag: The "Game of Kings" thread. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A group plays the King's Game]] from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''
45	** Another group does it again in "Kings, Queens, and Embarrassment!"
46	* LoyalPhlebotinum: The Persona cards only work for their intended users.
47	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Social Links aren't there just for the show. Ranking up gives some bonus to a character such as the ability to withstand an incapacitating blow. At level 10 an All Out Attack is unlocked. Alternatively, against the eldritch abominations and impending mindbreak that comes in Dark Nikawa having strong social links are among the very few things that will allow a character to stay sane.
48	* RageQuit: The Tamashi twins pull this during their king's game. Also [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw This, We're Outta Here.]]
49	** In a meta way, many members left the site when it was announced that it was going to go through a reboot, which has had a ripple effect, since their departures sparked others wanting to leave.
50	* RunningGag: Several, both in-universe and in the chatbox.
51	** RP: If Jhonathan is involved, expect misunderstandings. And at least one tsundere character to show up.
52	** Chatbox: Do not attempt to troll [=BunnyKen=]. It's like trying to sell ice cream in the north pole. He is also prone to screencapping things people have said and using them out of context in the worst possible way.e."
53	*** Almost everyone saying Reizo and Jhon (or Reizo and Lysander) are a couple, followed by Rei cursing and swearing up and down that the character is asexual only to be reminded, "Rei, Yuki?" which is often followed by, "Oh... right."
54	*** [=TehAdrenalinePickle=] usually enters the chatbox in magical, insane ways. Some of these ways include leading cavalry charges through the chatbox, breaking in through skylights, and acting out of nature and simply walking in and sitting down like a normal person.
55	*** On a similar note, Yin Yang Bomb often exits the chatbox in weird ways. To date, [[AmbiguousGender s/he]] has thrown down a smoke bomb, dissolved, and exploded, among others.
56	** Off-topic threads
57	*** Entering the string "Mark danced crazy!" [[OncePerEpisode once per page]] in "100+ things you've learned playing Persona"
58	* ShoutOut: Plenty, specifically to various anime and games.
59	** Hakuro recently added a thread called "catch the fish: THE GOLDEN." Obviously about the UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}''
60	** Hirakata Yuki was reading ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' when she first entered Tsubasa.
61	** The doctors in charge of Emilio Hirasawa, Toshiko Umezawa and Hidetsugu "The Ogre" Moriyama, are named for creature cards from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''.
62	** Another after the reboot is with the continuation of Things stuff and Things thread, which starts of with a recap of what had happened before the reboot, then ended of with "... and now the continuation." followed by the WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall opening.
63	* ScaryShinyGlasses: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when Yuki Hirakata awakens to her Persona. Any potential scary points were nulled by the fact that her knees were almost knocking together.
64	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: What Reizo decides when things get crazy during Hakurocon, or inactive during "The Cafe."
65	* SnowMeansLove: When Reizo and Yuki got together in "Purpose, Meaning, and... Happiness?", it began snowing.
66	* StealthPun: Yuki Hirakata's main attack spells are water based. WordOfGod says she prefers painting with water colors.
67	** Though not the funniest pun, and possibly not even a pun at all, [=TehAdrenalinePickle's=] two characters both contain the phrase "Ransu" in them(IE: His first RPC having the last name of Ransu and his second RPC having the first name of Fu''ransu'').
68	* SummonMagic: It's a Persona game, after all.
69	* TheHeartless: The Shadows, of course. Given how they come about, they're almost identical to the original [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Heartless]]. The aftermath of being defeated by one is, however, not as merciful or sightly.
70	* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The King of the Hill Gameing Thread. So far the ResetButton Has been pushed once on this thread.
71	* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld
72	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, the Tamashi twins were apparently going to be a SiblingTeam.
73	* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The "Your Character's Future" thread, where some of the players have even put in MultipleEndings.
74	* WorldOfBadass: Pretty much every player character has a Badass moment.
75	* WorldOfBuxom: An InvertedTrope. according to both profiles and chatbox discussion, most of the female characters actually have rather small chests.
76	* WorldOfHam: Quiet characters are few and far between.
77	* {{Yandere}}: Masato and Haru are the Yandere couple. So much as say hello to one of them and you're risking your life.
