People disappearing, others behaving strangely during the [[Lunacy full moon]]. Some call it lunacy, others speculate a conspiracy. But in this vast town where life is cheap, and nearly anything can be bought with money, few seem to really care about these issues. But as time goes on, and the hand of fate is dealt, soon humanity will realize the very brink of its own demise is approaching. Though, they are not powerless to stop what is approaching. [[EldritchAbomination Creatures of the abyss]] have become the [[NightmareFuel stuff of nightmares]] to humanity, but some have found a new power to fight them. The power of their will, their spirit, their Persona.

'Persona: Requis Aeterna' is a PlayByPostGame taking place in an original setting, based around Shin Megami Tensei’s ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' series, in particular, the style of {{Persona 3}} and {{Persona4}} in the ongoing saga.

In this story, our protagonists will find themselves on an important day of their lives, moving on in the next step of adulthood at High School graduation. After their time in Tsukuyomi High school, those lucky enough to graduate would be gathering one last time at the High school, ready to move on and leave their childhood behind. Many have moved on this island away from their parents, dorming or living in apartments to focus more on their studies at the highly esteemed school. Around the school, placed on Onigashima island, many strange occurrences have happened, and the town is riddled with rumor and mystery, though most of the students had always found it exciting to explore, some finding their own adventure on this island.

But, it’s become time to leave your childhood behind. To take the next step in life and become a young adult. Some refuse to embrace this so soon, others eager for the chance, but on one fateful day after our young adults have graduated, everything changes for a select few who's lives will change forever. Soon, after the site of their first shadow, and someone disappearing, these particular students find themselves being the only ones who had seen it. In fact, the one who was consumed by the shadow, no one even seems to remember! But these few people… they do. They know what they saw, and as a chilling warning, they receive messages on how it will happen again very soon. …But they won’t have to fight it alone, deep in their hearts, they can feel a power rising, preparing them for the war against the Shadows.

People disappearing, others behaving strangely during the full moon. Some call it lunacy, others speculate a conspiracy. But in this vast town where life is cheap, and nearly anything can be bought with money, few seem to really care about these issues. But as time goes on, and the hand of fate is dealt, soon humanity will realize the very brink of its own demise is approaching. Though, they are not powerless to stop what is approaching. Creatures of the abyss have become the stuff of nightmares to humanity, but some have found a new power to fight them. The power of their will, their spirit, their Persona.

Will you join the fight? Does the existence of mankind even stand a chance? There’s only one way to find out. So get ready, and prepare for a journey deep into the void, where there is no turning back, and the world and all of life itself stands on the edge of destruction. Fight for survival. Fight for the truth.

The RP can be found [[http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/series-related-miscellaneous-role-play/persona-requis-aeterna-full/t.81358683/ here]], though it is not currently accepting new members.

-----

!!This roleplay provides examples of the following tropes:

* AcademyOfAdventure: Subversion of the Persona games; there is an academy, and most of the main characters attended it, but as the youngest graduate at the very beginning, little of note takes place there.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Sypher and Symphony Corinth are from 'a small town about ten miles off of the Mediterranean sea'. No other information is given, besides that they are 1/4 Japanese.
* AnyoneCanDie: The GM is not afraid to kill off NPCs, and anyone who quits likewise has their character killed off.
* BeachEpisode: Planned to happen during the summer.
* BrokenBird: Most of the RPC's start out this way to some degree.
* CityOfAdventure: Onigashima, of course.
* ContinuityNod: Junes has a branch in Onigashima, and the Kirijou corperation gets a mention or two as being in a legal dispute with Sindertech.
* CuteMute: Batsu.
* DarkWorld: The shadow world's default state is that of a dark version of the city.
* DespairEventHorizon: Usually what warrants a shadow takeover.
* DysfunctionJunction: At least half the characters have some sort of family trauma in their past.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Kazune and Saori both.
* EverybodyDidIt: A semi-serious theory on the strange happenings in Onigashima.
* {{Expy}}: Several characters, at appearance-wise. Saori and Sena is explicitly the same ones from her [[LightNovel/OreNoImoutoGaKonnaNiKawaiiWakeGaNai source material]], though.
* {{Fanservice}}: Hoo boy, where do we even start?
* GamerChick: Katsumi, Saori, and Ameko, though she sticks to dating sims.
* {{Hikkikomori}}: Ameko, to an extent. She runs errands for her mom and has a job, at least.
* KilledOffForReal: Eugene and Lance were both killed via the party defeating their shadows [[spoiler: Though there might be a way to bring them back ]]
* LimitedWardrobe: Katsumi, Zoey, and Hiromasa are all hand-drawn, whereas Batsu and Akira simply don't have much in the way of source pictures.
** UnlimitedWardrobe: Meanwhile, Kazune, Ameko, and Sypher have this. The NPCs are divided about down the middle.
* MemeticMolester: Katsumi.
** Gerald, as well, but to a lesser extent.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Most of the party, after killing Lance.
* MythologyGag: For starters, the King's game played at the party celebrating Zoey's rescue.
* {{NPC}}: Unusally for a forum RP, most of the Social Links are controlled by the DM, with the {{PC}}s/Persona users confined to a small portion of them.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with some minor characters; Kazune's mother has the same first name as Chisame, and Hiro's mother and the Empress social link are both variations of Lily.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Two people have quit and two have joined; the plot contorts accordingly to make one have never existed, another die, and two have a small story arc around their recruitment.
* {{Retcon}}: What happens when someone dies in the shadow world; history is rewritten to have them die some other way in the real world.
* RippleProofMemory: The {{PC}}s are not affected by the shadow world {{Retcon}}s.
* RunningGag:
** Sypher and Kazune's panties
** Batsu fending off Seraphim with a party female
** Akira's siblings trying to hook him up with a girl
** Katsumi referring to someone as a 'filthy casual' (though this is mostly out of character)
* SacrificialLamb: Once again, Eugene and Lance both count.
* SkinshipGrope: Katsumi to every woman she meets.
* SummonMagic: As with all Persona games.
* TarotMotifs: Comes with being a Persona RP.
* TeamMom: Kazune
* TeamDad: Hiromasa
* TheNicknamer: Kazune has insulting nicknames for the entire party.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Social Links. They can also be ThePowerOfLove if romantic in nature.
* {{Tsundere}}: Kazune is the best example, though Zoey, Symphony, and a few others have shades of it, too.
* WeaponOfChoice: Having a Persona lets you summon magical weapons.
** ArcherArchetype: Batsu, though he rarely uses it
** BFG: Katsumi's rocket launcher.
