Shin Megami Tensei: The Final Avatar

The year is 20XX. You are a regular high school student living in Tokyo, Japan. Your life is nothing spectacular for the most part. You go to school, hang out with friends, indulge in hobbies, and get wrapped up in the occasional mischief. However, this monotony is soon destroyed by a popular trend that’s taken Japan by storm. The Digital Demon app was created by an unknown developer and distributed freely amongst all smartphone users. The game is praised for its realistic visuals, varied list of monsters to raise and fight with others, and mass appeal among all ages. Though it did garner some controversy for its use of religious figures as Ultra Rare demons, such as Shiva and Satan, it has been a smash hit in Japan.

This innocuous hobby, however, may be the key to surviving the upcoming week inside of Tokyo. Unbeknownst to anyone, Tokyo will soon be subject to a week long shutdown for unknown reason. Not a single person will be able to leave the Yamanote Line—that is, the circular train track that is by far the most popular method of traveling through Tokyo. All electricity is cut off, there is no form of outside communication, and worst of all, no way to get back home for most people due the closing of all train stations. The official reason for this lockdown is that it was caused to save the people from the effects of a chemical spill happening just outside—an explanation that is quickly scrutinized by the masses.

There are rumors floating about that there is a far more sinister reason behind the shutdown. Numerous gruesome murder cases have emerged in the past few days with no culprit or method to be found, leading many to suspect that the deaths are the work of some monster. The claw marks and entire missing chunks from the bodies of the victims have only given more credence to these rumors, though the police, of course, vehemently deny these allegations. Despite this, the rumors are still running their course, some even claiming to have seen the perpetrators of these crimes must be demons of some sort similar to the variety found in the Digital Demon app.

Regardless, at the present moment, you are a student who will be trapped in the line after meeting up with three other school friends. For some reason, right before news of the lockdown hits, all four of you hear a voice saying the same thing:

“Let the search for Kalki finally commence.”

Hey there, this is the start of my new SMT/Devil Survivor that will hopefully last for longer than a single page. If you are interested in joining please click this link for more information the games and its mechanics. This will hopefully be my first time GMing a roleplay so feel free to call me out if I've made any mistakes or if you have some questions you need answered. So after all that, here's the sheet.



Note that you'll all be friends who go to school together, so if you'd like to plan out your backstory with one of the other players, I urge you to go right ahead. Please post any character sheets in the OOC and await my approval before moving them to the character tabs. Additionally, if you'd like to lend me a hand with GMing this thing, just hit me up with a PM.

With that, I hope we can make this a fun one!

Cool cool! It's been... a while since I joined an RP that had stats that weren't just fluff and for show, so this should be fun.

And to let other players know (to maybe help with planning backstories that work together), my current idea for a character is a rather tomboyish girl who's a star volleyball player at the school the kids go to. I haven't really thought about her personality in-depth, but I do know that one of her defining traits will be her desire to be looked up to, as a sort of role model or hero.

I should have sheet up within two days~. Speaking of, @Matador, should there be a 'Personality' section on the CS? Not sure if you meant to omit it or not, so just want to ask to make sure.

I think this much (mechanic wise) is too much for me to handle right now. :|. I think I might pull out.

Writing up a character now, he's going to be a strength-based guy. I'll leave some of his backstory a little open in case anyone wants to tie in their character, but I plan on making him the president of the Kendo club if that's okay.

I really don't think it's that complex. It's just talking, fusing, cracking, and some stats. But if you feel that way, I understand and wish you the best of luck.

Oh, I just added that. Sorry, just me being stupid there.

Sure, that's fine, dude. Do as you please for your backstory.

Yeah, that's perfect! I'm assuming Kaba's one of the other players' character?

Nah, I just named an NPC We'd probably never see. I could edit it out and leave it as nameless guy if you'd prefer.

I'd just come up with another reason for entering the Yamanote Circle or utilize the NPC in a different way so he isn't one of the main 4 people meeting up together. Otherwise, you'd basically be giving an NPC a slot that's meant for a main character.

Oh, and I've been thinking of how to further involve players in the plot and decided that everyone should have the spotlight at one point or another. Since Nakada's such an able sword-fighter, he might get a demon rival very early on...

I'm still here! Just hit a bit of a writer's block with my character. I'll do my best to at least get something up for tomorrow evening, since I'll be busy much of the weekend.
