Persona RP Interest Check

The desire for justice. Desire for grandeur. Desire for illusion. When the lines of fiction blur into reality, there is no need to stop the dream. Everyone is happy, everyone is content.

The dead in the city of Pays de Rêver return but no one bats an eye. Legends that were since long past live again. The urban legends of yesterday are now the marvel of today.

This is all strange, very strange since no one seems to care. It's like the world is losing itself and fast. People don't seem to care what happens.

Except a few kids in Pays de Rêver, Canada that have the power to summon Persona, there's really no hope of resolving this incident!

AY YO LEMME GET IN ON THAT

SURE MAN.

I guess Ragna finally got his.

This seems to be an interest check, and I've got some interest.

Very much interested. Persona RP's are always fun.

Interested, very interested.

Oh right guys, if you're only going to use one Persona, go ahead and add their Ultimate Form in the sign up too. I'll put distinctions up in the sign up.

Human

• Name: Robert White
• Age: 20
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: With a prosthetic right arm.◊
• Weapon: None/his prosthetic arm
• Catalyst: A small pendant on a necklace. The pendant is made out of the bone of his amputated arm.
• Arcana: Tower
• Personality: A rather shy, reclusive and detatched person. While he may be calm and collected, he harbors a deep fear of losing others and change in general inside. If however he does befriend someone, he is fiercely loyal towards them, protecting them at all cost. Furthermore Robert is a logical person, preferring to plan things out beforehand instead of blindly charging forward and thinking up a plan on the go. His view of the world is a mostly cynical one, but he tries his best to make the world a better place because someone has to do it after all. Also Daniel is an ambitious man, always trying to do the best he can do and to be the best he can be. His point of view is best summed up as the Knight in Sour Armor .

• History: Born and raised in Canada, Robert had a relatively normal childhood. That is until that one fateful day. When he was 12 years old, he fell very ill and nearly died from his illness. Even though he could be saved, Robert had to have his right arm amputated and thus uses a prosthetic one. This incident has left him with the fear of change, especially the fear of death, both his own and the death of those he holds dear. To make sure noone else would have to face what he had to deal with, Robert then decided to study lots so he could become a doctor of medicine at the university all our characters will probably be attending. Thus far it is going quite well.

I've got some interest in this as well.

HUMAN

• Name: Naomi Tsuruga
• Age: 19
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: “Let’s go go go!”◊
• Weapon: Sword
• Catalyst: A ‘friendship’ bracelet that she wears on her left hand.
• Arcana: The Fool
• Personality: A girl whose innocence is only overshadowed by her desire to do good in the world. She's simple-minded, kind and faithful to her friends and family. Naomi has this sense of 'invincibility' about her where she doesn't think anything can hurt her, that the world is full of good with little evil. That's why she's so quick to help others, to surrender herself as long as it's for the benefit of a friend. Despite her outward ‘personality’, she can be pretty self-deprecating if she’s not able to fulfill the task that someone else has set out for her. First it’s self-deprecation, then frustration, then lastly she becomes stubborn about it. She’ll keep going what whatever shew as doing until she succeeds (or falls asleep).
• History: A girl from a Japanese born family that moved to North America when Naomi was young. She’s a girl who prizes the heritage she was born into rather than the ‘heritage’ that is way too different for her to get used to. She went to school in the United States then went off on her way to university in Canada. Precisely in the University of Rêver located near the Hudson River in the Province of Ontario. There she doesn’t have any friends or family to rely on so she’s primarily by herself. This is what leads her to take interest in nothing around her. Though when the world started to act ‘strangely’, when the lines of fantasy and reality blurred into each other. She sought to investigate because what else did she have going on in her life besides school? Besides her roommate, of course, Naomi doesn’t interact with anyone so she sets out to find out what’s going on around here. Why is it that no one is paying attention? That’s something else she sought to find out. Before she could go - however, there was this blue butterfly that approached her. She ended up in this strange room where she sighed a contract along with meeting a guy with an elongated nose. That’s where her life would change forever and a journey to find out the truth to the world began.

HUMAN

• Name: Harvey Anderson.
• Age: 19.
• Gender: Male.
• Appearance: "Are you ready?"
• Weapon: An épée.
• Catalyst: A gold chain around his neck from his parents.
• Arcana: The Chariot.
• Personality: Harvey is not a particularly nice man. He is brash and he is arrogant. He knows he is the best around, and he's willing to prove it. Whenever he isn't fighting or competing, though, he tries to be courteous in order to preserve his own image. He doesn't necessarily care about being liked, just respected. He's not a man to confess his feelings easily, either. Don't mess with him, and he won't mess with you.
• History: Harvey was born into a rich family in upstate New York. He was expected to be excellent, and he delivered. When he got into high school, he decided to take up fencing. He proved to be good at it, so he went on to become a relatively well-known fencer in his area. Eventually, he stopped competing and went on with his life. Gradually, his excellence faded like so many other young hotshots. He desperately wanted to make a name for himself, and he wanted to find someone to call his equal. After he finished high school, he ran away from home and headed to Canada, specifically Pays de Rêver. It is possible that he found the Velvet Room on his way there...

• Passive Skills:
  • Counter: 10% chance of repelling Physical attacks when not knocked Down.
• Specials:
  • Poseidon's Favor: Call upon the strength of the gods. Deals medium Physical damage to one foe.

I can't think of anything for the Ascended or Ultimate Persona right now, so I'll have to do that later.

@Savant, ramuf: Don't worry about your Ascended and Ultimate Persona now. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Mostly because your Persona are going to level up as the RP progresses.

Also Harvey is accepted.

• Name: Megan Newkirk
• Age: 20
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: What shall I write today?
• Weapon: Pistol
• Catalyst: A ballpoint pen that has been with her since grade school.
• Arcana: Justice
• Personality: A dedicated muckraker journalist who stops at nothing in her quest to discover the truth and bring it to the people. Megan believes in the inherent goodness of mankind and that if granted with sufficient information, they will make the right decisions. While she takes her job very seriously, she also tries her best not to take it personally, as that would be very unprofessional. While normally aloof and focused solely on her work, she becomes fairly easygoing when around friends she trusts.
• History: Having lived her entire life in Pays de Rêver, Megan has become very accustomed to the city and inhabitants. One day, in elementary school, Megan had discovered a group of older boys picking on a younger boy after school. Having been raised with morals, Megan knew that bullying was wrong, but there was no way that she could take on those boys by herself. That's why she began to write a school newspaper. It was small, but it was honest, and it was thanks to that paper that the school banded together against those bullies. It was then that she realized the power of the pen, and began to expose the truth through writing for the rest of her school years. Now that she is in university, she is the Publisher of the UoR newspaper, the Rêver Review. However, with the strange events around town recently that nobody seems to notice, it seems Megan is the only one who can report the happenings. That's fine by her however. She's been eager to write again.

All accepted besides Troy's, that is until he puts a Persona down.

Gave my character an extremely overpowered persona...Tell me what needs to be trimmed down.

You obviously didn't read the OP.

Alrght, aside from having too many attacks, I take it, say, tempest blade and mudo are far too powerful for my guy to have?

Again, you did not read the OP. Your character is not accepted.
