Persona: Digital Guardians Discussion

It happens to all of us. At some point soonish it'll be too late to go on the first hunt, but you can always jump in later on if that happens.

Speaking of which... can anyone guess which part of the internet we'll be visiting first?

Wikipedia. Duh.

TV Tropes?

Good to be back

That man gets the cookie! This Very Wiki does have an annoying infestation of Data Vampires, after all.

But beyond that, I'm open to suggestions. I have a plot, but I do need filler for the level grinding to take place.

Youtube and Tumblr?

Less infested places than that. You'd all die quickly if you went there at your current level.

And 4 Chan is the final boss *shot*

-returns to lurking-

We're still at least two plot twists away from you guys having enough information to guess at the final boss.

But the sites don't necessarily need to be real ones. Also, as an AGOG player, the idea of letting you guys GM your own missions occurs. It's already allowed one game to last for years (although I don't think this one will go on that long, even if it reaches the end)

Excuse me for not posting, had quite a amount of internet problems these past days, I'll put one up in a bit.

@Sixth: I put a handwave in. Bug's scanned everyone.

Ah, okay.

I don't think I ever wrote a Manipulative Bastard before, so bear with me if he turns out to be a Cynical Douchebag instead.

Well if you ever feel like you have to switch characters, I might take him off your hands. A potential flunky/host for Nyarlathotep might come in handy down the line.

Oh and fearjunkie, I handwaved the explanations. He's done everyone, even if it hasn't been mentioned in a post.

Um, hmm...

Um, would it be possible to have two possible Evolved Personas? As in, um, well, there's two possible ways Midori's character could develop(though one I'd rather not go for, even if it's still possible depending on what happens, just, um, given my feelings on writing characters and having them turn out, um, certain ways, and, um, yeah), and, um, well, an Evolved Persona would reflect that, right?

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

I don't mind at all.

I'd like to ask the same thing. Probably with less filler words, through.

Ninja-answer'd.

Right, um, okay.

One of them just needs to be finished up, eh-heh, will need to do thinking on the other one even if it's for the possibility I'm not really so keen to write about, um, still will be interesting to have written, and, um, yeah.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Anno R, would you mind if I eventually try to evil my way into causing conflict between Artist and Cosmic? Granted, it'd likely end with me being stabbed in the face by a Yandere, but eh. You can't make an omlette without ruthless toying with the feelings of chicken then leave the eggs to hatch. Then, after the hen feels the joy of motherhood, take the poussin away and I've completely lost track of my analogy so I'll stop now.

Hmm...

Well, um, I'm not entirely opposed to it. Just, um, if it starts going in a direction I feel wouldn't be fun or completely limits my options character-wise, I'll say so.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Of course. There's no point in playing if its not fun. Thanks, also.

So, any ideas for how to represent Tropes as cyberspace? I was thinking of a web made up of example & trope links that trap those who wander into it, but I'm wondering if there's a better idea available.

So can I get a Recap of the plot so far?

PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850

It's only four pages...

The Persona-Users (unaware of what they were) were emailed by a mysterious person calling himself "Data_Bug"*

, who asked for their help in ridding the world of Apathy Syndrome. Those who accepted (all the player characters) were sent a weird-looking helmet along with a CD for a chat program. A few weeks later, Bug himself shows up in chat for the first time and tells them to put their helmets on a click the "evoke" button.

This transports them into cyberspace, using their Personas as a body. Part of them is still in meatspace, and they quickly learn to focus entirely on one "side" at a time to not be distracted. Bug tells them the basics about Personas as well as scanning each of them to tell them what theirs is, and then asks them to go Shadow hunting to hopefully curn the spread of Apathy Syndrome while looking for a way to wipe them out completely.
