Well, that was rather quick.

FYI, I had Saito identify not only the cause of the explosion, but the exact circumstances as well purely as a joke. I can probably think of a way to change it if it bugs someone.

DOOD!!!

Where would the guard group be when they go to the second floor?

They'd be at the start of the maze, meaning there would be several paths all branching out to each member of the exploration team.

Hey Taco, any preference on left or right? I'm pretty sure nobody's established who's on which side yet, with the exception of Reid in the center.

Incidentally, lightdark, if you're going the "Evil Counterpart" route for enemy Personas and there's a reversed Chariot, I'd recommend Yoritomo for the Persona. The article I linked should make it obvious why I recommended him.

Hah. You figured it out easy.tongue So yeah. Evil Counterparts. If anyone else wants to give me ideas for Personas, then I'm all ears. Otherwise I'll just decide myself.

Minamoto no Yorimoto doesn't really seem evil, but he still fits the bill for Chariot Arcana, so I guess alright!tongue

Not necessarily evil, but since Saito's Persona is Saito Musashibo Benkei (which is an interesting coincidence- I didn't realize that was his full name when I named my character and picked him as his Persona), I thought someone who was historically antagonistic would be best. I was thinking of grabbing someone from the Taira clan, but when I saw Yoritomo I thought something along the lines of "He's the reason behind Benkei dying? He's perfect!" Good a reason as any, right?

One last thing. The Reversed Chariot might be some form of Anti-Villain, if it helps justify him having a not-evil-but-still-antagonistic Persona.

... So since Reid signed the contract with Igor, Gabriel doesn't have to go to the Velvet Room to get his Persona?

Well. That was unexpected. Ah well.

Anyway, for the Reverse Lovers Arcana, would Anteros be a good counterpart? I'd think of Anteros' Persona user as a bit of a Yandere- Anteros is the avenger of unrequited love after all.

Finally: As for the tower in Gabriel's dreams, I just decided to have him have macabre dreams as part of the Eclipse's influence on his mind, probably related to his Persona or the collective unconscious (if we decide to go down such a route). It could even be a plot point in the future: the "tower dreams" as part of something related to the deeper mystery of the Eclipse.

For Reverse Lovers, I'd expect either Horny Devils or, from the page you linked, Himeros. After all, he represents unrequited love in general, and that doesn't guarantee that the person in question is stable- it could very easily go obsession. Honestly, Anteros' primary influence being requited love makes him sound more like a protagonist Persona to me, though I can understand your argument if it's a Yandere (though I really don't like that kind of character).

DOOD!!!

#146: Feb 4th 2011 at 11:48:00 AM

I actually think Himeros would fit better, as Suttungr said. I mean, I can already think of a Persona-user Counterpart for that, and also Yandere can fit into unrequited love as well...tongue

And also about the tower dreams-do you mind, if later, I can tie that in to something? Since, I was kind of planning something that might of been similar to that already.tongue

Also, @Suttungr: Ah! Sounds perfect now that I know that tidbit of info. And also, Anti-Villain sounds like a good idea. expecially since I've been thinking about what I'd do for the Reversed Chariot-User all day!tongue

Your Jack The Ripper idea was pretty awesome.

[up]Really? Glad you think so!grin I was kinda thinking about it for some time. Obviously, Pyro Jack would be kinda un-original to use as a counter-part, so I staqrted thinking...Since the character I had in mind was a serial killer/assassin, and was supposed to be the reverse of Stephen, I decided that Jack the Ripper/Ripper Jack would be a perfect evil parallel for Jack Frost.tongue
