• Name: 5th Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon "Labrys"
• Universe: Shin Megami Tensai Persona
• Background: Labrys was one of many gynoids created by the Kirijo Group in the past for the purpose of eliminating Shadows, hostile embodiments of negative human emotion. These robots were created with the purpose of developing their own egos and achieving the power of Persona through an object known as a Plume of Dusk. Labrys was created with an enlarged Plume of Dusk and tested in combat against her sister units. She performed spectacularly against them in these tests, to the point that the scientists in charge designated her as the basis for future models and set about scarping the rest. Unfortunately, Labrys's enlarged Plume of Dusk caused her personality to develop faster than normal, and she grew horrified by the destruction of her sister units. Labrys tried to break out and escape from the lab she was created, but failed due to being on an island. She was shut down and sealed away, slated for a deconstruction that never came.

Over ten years later, through the machinations of some unknown being, Labrys was stolen from the Kirijo Group and taken to the town of Inaba. There she was placed into the alternate world inside of the television, where her shadow ran wild. It ran a tournament for Persona users to pit friends against each other. During this, Labrys was stuck in a delusion of believing she was an average school girl and president of the student government. She tried to stop the tournament, and through the interference of the Investigation Team, confronted her Shadow. She came to accept herself and the pain she went through. She accepted that she couldn't be human and joined her last remaining sister unit, Aigis, as a part of the Shadow Operatives.

• Powers: Naturally, being a robot, Labrys is capable of taking damage that normal humans probably wouldn't. She has superior strength and speed to that of a human. She is able to launch her forearms off, connected to her body by a chain, and retract them when necessary. Labrys comes equipped with a large battle axe with thrusters integrated into the design. These thrusters allow her to swing her axe faster. Her axe can also be attached to her back like a pair of wings. The thrusters allow her flight when attached to her back.

Since accepting her Shadow, Labrys has gained her Persona, Ariadne. She can summon Ariadne at any time to appear behind her and assist her in battle. Her Persona is able to generate and manipulate ethereal string, which she uses to compliment her already formidable offensive abilities. She can use the strings to trap her enemy or give her a larger range to her swings.

• Personality: Labrys is an energetic and driven girl. When she feels she has responsibilities, she goes all out to fulfill them. She can be a caring person who absolutely does not want to hurt anyone she cares about. At times, she can come across as strict and bossy, but thats usually because she believes its for the best.

• Team: Science

I'm probably going to regret this, but d'ya mind if I try my hand in things again? I've got a better idea for a guy this time around.

Go for it.

Errare humanum est, perseverare autem diabolicum, et tertia non datur, TH. Do your best.

Can the enemy cut the ethereal strings, Oni?

Yeah probably, though they're probably a bit stronger than normal string if thats okay.

Just checking. You're accepted.

Okay, finally getting around to this.

• Name: Perseus 'Percy' Jackson
• Universe: Percy Jackson & The Olympians
• Background: Percy was born a demigod (half mortal, half god) being the son of Poseidon, and thus most of his teenage years were complete hell. Being chased by monsters who'd like nothing more than to eat him, rogue demigods and mythological figures that are huge jerks or who have been contracted by the biggest threat of all, Titans. So to help protect himself and learn how to fight, his satyr friend leads him to Camp Halfblood, where several important things happen. First he obtains his weapon of choice, Riptide (a magical bronze sword that turns from pen to sword and back, and reappears in his pocket if it's ever lost), and secondly, it's found out that he's part of a giant prophecy that could possibly destroy Olympus as they knew it. For specifics I recommend reading the series, or you could hit up the page for it because I'm hoping to not spoil too much for anyone who wants to read it and hasn't yet.
• Powers: Being the son of Poseidon means he obviously has powers over water. From simply breathing and getting healing buffs when in it to causing huge typhoons and geysers out of the littlest cracks. Of course any big feats drain his energy like no tomorrow and he can't keep it up forever. More passive and less damaging traits are the fact that when on water he becomes a living compass, being able to tell their latitude and longitude in a second and all other nautical gubbins, and being able to communicate to both sea-life and equine-ish creatures. Poseidon being the god of earthquakes as well means he has a little control over those, but not by much.
• Personality: Before we get to anything else, let's start with the fact that Percy is a nice guy. He helps out whenever he can, he tries his best to listen whenever someone else has their problems, and he'd be willing to die for whatever cause. It might be a bit cliche, but that's just how he rolls. 'Course this niceness isn't always a good thing. Over his travels and many fights he's come to grown a hero complex, thinking that he's responsible for ensuring everyone's safety when he's in a group, or if he can decide if people live or die. This ties into his fatal flaw being personal loyalty, and if not kept in check could lead to some serious problems. It's not called 'fatal' for nothing.
• Team: Magic

Demigods unite! Cassie-percy-armani trio go!

...
This will be awkward for Armani.

"You mean to tell me I DON'T exist in your universe? The hell?"

Dem fine choice son >:D

And let's dial this one down to 'big waves and strong but not super strong geysers out of the littlest cracks with enough water supply'. Master waterbender level.

Let's just dial that down to 'no control over earthquakes'. Also, I don't know if Percy has immortality, but not immortality.

Other than that, accepted.

Fair enough.

Also, he DID, but he lost it. So yeah, no immortality.

Demigods 4 ever!

What book are you taking him from/ how old is he?

(Mine PC is also from the PJ...multiverse, in case you didn't know)

Was thinking of taking him from between the main series and the Heroes of Olympus continuation. So, around 16/17?

Exactly the same age Armani would know him from. Sweeeeeeeeet

Though percy obviously won't know him. Be a bit of a mindscrew

Who IS Armani, anyways? Don't entirely remember her form the series.

Also uh there's a timeskip going on, right? Able to pop in now or do I gotta wait a bit?

You should make it so your character appeared during the timeskip. That way, you won't have to deal with the whole 'what's this, what's going on' part of the game.

Or you can join in at the tail end of the timeskip, AKA right now.

I'd request end of timeskip or from the middle of it onward, though it doesn't particularly matter I guess. It'd DEFINITELY be a scene we'd have to write though if he did come in during timeskip, be less stressful at the end of it.

Here. He's not from the actual series; I'm unique in that I use a fanfiction taken character...a GOOD one though

edited 22nd Jul '14 7:25:05 PM by tvtropesnoob

I could just hand-wave him meeting people, right? Say he popped in, was confused, then save the meat of the intro post to be at the end of it.

If you have him show up during the timeskip, yes.

...Please don't put him into the time skip?

I mean, if you REALLY want to I won't complain, but it'd be a lot harder to write the first interactions with armani with, as percy's intro is basically going to turn his world upside down
