[hider=The Velvet Room Prelude] "Welcome to the Velvet Room." Within a lounge draped in blue, sat two strange figures. One of them, a tall woman with straight, shining blonde hair that fell to her hips, looks at you, though she is not the one who spoke. Much like the velvet curtains draped over the windows, this woman's uniform was almost entirely blue, with only a black belt and shoes adding to her colour palette. On the cerulean sofa beside her, was a much shorter man, who slowly raised his head. Despite his tengu-like nose, and wide, bloodshot eyes, you sensed no hostility from him. If anything, he gave the impression of a strange, yet likable uncle. "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter." The strange man spoke as he waved an arm over the table before him. Several tarot cards were laid out, four rows of five. Grinning with anticipation, he picked one card up, seemingly at random, staring at it for a moment before saying, "It has been a long time since I entertained multiple guests. I look forward to the results of this meeting." It is at this moment that the presence of others beside you becomes known. To your eyes, they are simply faceless figures that make no noise. Again, there seems to be no hostility in them. "You possess the potential to carve an interesting future," spoke the woman at last, her voice authoritative, despite the carefree expression she wore, "with so many guests, I cannot wait to see the possibilities of the future." The man nodded, steeping his fingers as he leaned forward. "Do not concern yourself with that, for the moment," he said, his eyes continuing to stare unblinkingly at the small gathering before him, "when you wake up, please consider your role in this tale. To be a major or minor player, is entirely your choice. When we next meet, please tell me how you will continue." And with that, the blue lounge began to fade from view as the woman rose to her feet. The words she said were barely audible as your consciousness faded... [/hider] ---- Okay then, Persona RP time! In a nutshell, the lovely little town of Warakuma is experiencing a bit of a Badly-Behaved-Teenager-itis epidemic. Since this is a tad unusual, quite a few people are concerned about this, but can't really do much about it. Because, really, what's even the cause? How do you cure cults? Who's doing the brainwashing? THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Unbeknownst to the world at large, however, the true cause isn't something... normal. See, it turns out there's another world out there. A world that can only be accessed under certain conditions. See, all you need is a large mirror, magic powers, and or something with said magic powers to shove you inside, and voila! You're inside the Reverse World. Or Mirror World. Or Flip-Floppity Land. Putting that aside, this place is quite dangerous, as it's teeming with 'Shadows'. They're pretty horrible monsters that would very much like to devour you. If you want to have any chance of surviving, you're going to need to evoke the power of Persona. How do you do that, you ask? Well... you'll know, once you need to know. --- For now, here's some rules for ya. Standard 'No God-Moding', No harrassment', 'no meta-gaming' etc. stuff applies. One character and user per Tarot, if only to enforce diversity... If it gets late in the roleplay and no ome makes that arcana, then sure, make an app for it. Relatedly, stick to Personas within your arcana, please. If you're using someone or something that's not been Persona'd before, try and have them match the typical traits of the arcana as closely as possible. No Maragadyning things from the very beginning, please. Gms help forward the story and such... We also sort of know what we are doing, so mind listening to us.

While you can still make a claim, it may be a while before you can use a Persona. Of course, I'll make sure there's other things to do when not spelunking alien worlds. Plus, feel free to play a non-Persona user. That should make things... varied. Also, if your an inactive persona user and you come back after quite some time, you might either be sharing an arcana with someone or be a non-persona user due to factors. If you do quit, you will be a npc. --- And now, have a sign-up sheet. Name: Age: Appearance: Pictures and descriptions accepted.
