Crimmy Oi brat, what're ye using that noggin for?

@CrimmyYup! The name is more there to describe a state of balance between two concelts than anything else.


Putting the two together isn't a particularly strong representation of balance at all. If you want to stick with the concept of change represented by Death and keep the Avestan thing going, Vāyu ("The reason that I am called vayu (apayate, vanō.vīspå) is that I pursue (attain, conquer) both creations, both that which Spənta Mainyu created and that which Aŋra Mainyu created.") would be a far better choice in Persona. If you don't want something Iranian, Janus could be a good choice too.

Gotcha, will make the changes. Are there any problems with the skills?

@Alder How exactly is the Skill Fusion and Skill Mutation carried out.

Also, are you sure you wanna go with Contrast HERO Chaos as an image?

@CrimmySame way it works in Persona 2. Two characters use specific spells (ex: Agi and Agi) and they do a combination attack that's stronger than both combined. I was thinking skill mutation could only change a person's skills into one of the opposite element. Ex: A wind user's skills could only be change to thunder etc etc. I was also thinking that these could change resistances in the same way it changes skill elements to make it more balanced

And didn't you see? I changed the picture to its namesake. It's kind of on the nose since there isn't exactly any "fan art" of Hindu gods, but I'll change it again if it's a problem.

No I mean like: physically and narratively how does he facilitate the use of the combination attack. Does his Persona just stand in the way or something and channel those spells into a combo?

Nah, doing an actual god picture's fine (though technically the Vedic Vayu and the Iranian Vayu are completely different entities).

Suzune was ruffling her own hair, just in case that wasn't obvious.

Side-Note: I just noticed that Savo's second post after Suzune showed up mentioned The Breakfast Club. Thanks for reminding me that that movie exists, fam.

Yes, please. While I do agree that it is an adorable mental image, it'd make more sense if it was Suzune ruffling her own hair, since she's chuckling sheepishly and all.

...actually, in hindsight, please leave it as is. I love that mental image way too much for the source to just go away like that.

No problem mang, now we just need to work out this dysfunction junction... which might result in us possibly getting our characters high.

We're getting a bit off-topic at this point, but who was it that started the pot-smoking scene in that movie? Wasn't it John/the Criminal, or was it Allison/the Basketcase?

How about...the other users aim their attacks at him. He can have a draining effect that takes the attacks and a color corresponding to the attack shows up in one of Vayu's hands as an orb like material. When he has two or more of these orbs, he can launch a fused spell. I was thinking Akira could only have access to two of the six hands when he begins and gradually open up more hands when he grows closer to the other users, mainly for balance purposes and the like. And obviously, this'd have to come with a huge drawback so I was thinking he could be a glasscannon who's weak against any physical attack to make up for this. If that still sounds way too broken, I'll just make it a basic resistance, even if that'd mean he'd have to get hurt to even use the spells.

@Alder So he catches the skills and shoots out the combo attack, correct? Basically does your usual "two fire spells used, boosted spell happens" but now a middleman is needed? The limiting of arms at the beginning works yeah. Given that it's a support type Persona, you don't need to add any further weaknesses when it's already pretty fragile. You should make facilitating the fusion and the spell transformation something that drains Akira considerably to reduce spam.
