History Fanfic / Gameplay

Gameplay was left dormant for two years because the author underwent graduation, work, and loss of interest in LightNovel/Durarara and Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona. However, the author returned on June 3, 2018, with the intent to finish and publishing ''Dasein''. ''Bulletproof'', however, was in a currently unknown status if it would be published or not.

Dasein explored the DRRR cast in their own Persona-styled journey in the expansive universe.

!!The Fic Provides Tropes of

* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: The fic was released before VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax although elements of that game would slip through; which means that the author used the popular fan theory [[spoiler:Nyarlathotep]] was the Malevolent Entity. However, the author also takes inspiration by VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth and VideoGame/Persona4DancingAllNight so there will be elements in the fic. As for the DRRR end, only up to Volume 9 is considered while 10-13 aren't considered canon to a degree in-fic; like the aforementioned series, it does have elements from later volumes.

** DistressBall: As it turns out, Izaya went charging in, knowing full well what the situation might hold; he even thought there might be a supernatural creature as the perp but he still went in anyways. Shinra and Namie (already speechless Izaya doesn't know everything) called him out for this. Izaya does admit it, just not aloud. TropesAreNotBad and justified are at play here because the DRRR cast including Izaya vastly underestimated the world they are heading into with the notable exceptions of Shingen and Shinichi Tsukumoya.

* OriginalFlavor: The author had IT used a similar chatroom in DRRR. Some chapters such as that dedicated to Shinra and Anri's PointOfView or sections mimicked the original text of DRRR.

* InMediasRes: A minor example. The story began when Gameplay wrapped up, revealing the DRRR's Wild Card.

On the P4's side, it's downplayed; While they were surprised, they took it pretty well and acclimated within moments.

* TheReveal: Let's just list... [[spoiler:To say the least that every supernatural individual and incident in Ikebukuro has a reason for their existence, originating from the massive world of Persona]].

* YouDidntAsk: The IT didn't reveal all the crucial to Celty and the rest of the DRRR cast because ItSeemedTrivial at the time. They did not relay they would be fighting gods, demons exist, other Persona-users existed and used the Evoker, TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt was frequent, and so forth.
