Gonna play it safe here and put this down in case anyone isn't into hella dark imagery. I suggest reading it if you're sensitive to the topic of suicide, because I don't want anyone having to dredge up any bad memories because I wanted to include a character from a dark game. There are workarounds that can be made in advance so nobody gets hurt reading my posts, which is the last thing I want. I'm more than happy to make changes to my posts or the character's summoning technique in question if it's too much for some people, as I don't want anyone to have an uncomfortable time with this RP. That said, again please read this if you're uncomfortable with the subject of suicide, and preferably with an open mind to the game's subject matter and presentation.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Persona 3, or the Persona series in general, it can tend to be pretty messed up when it comes to the themes it presents. However Persona 3 is often regarded as the second darkest in the series, and the darkest of the popular persona games, because the theme of death is central to the game's identity. And I don't just mean it's dark here and there, the themes are interwoven into the characters actions, as well as how they summon their persona, a manifestation of the psyche given physical form. In persona 3, personas gain physical form through extreme stress and trauma, as well as an acceptance of death in spite of that trauma, and are summoned using an Evoker.

If you've read over my application fully you might have an idea where I'm going with this. 

In order to simulate the extreme stress and trauma of dying, the Evokers look like pistols, and summoning your persona with an Evoker requires the user to put the Evoker to their head and pull the trigger. Of course, me being an idiot, I didn't think this through when making the character and only came to realise after the fact that not everybody is a little edgelord like me and has had the same experiences as I. Personally I like the idea, it's a creative way to express the themes of the game as a whole and weave it into one of the big choices you can make during battle. But not everyone would agree, and that's OK, which is what this post is for. 

Persona 3 also has a couple notable character deaths, a few of these happening as a result of firearms. Should it ever be brought up in the RP for whatever reason ([i]Minako's weakness[/i]), I might write it a tad viscerally, basing it off of how Minako felt when experiencing those deaths for the first time. People also have pretty bad experiences with guns, namely you Americans, which is incredibly unfortunate and I hope it hasn't happened to anyone here. But if it has, [b][i]I need to know.[/i][/b] Same with the suicide references, [b][i]I need to know if this bothers people[/i][/b], or even if you guys think it would be a smart idea to put the more sensitive content in a hider. In fact, that was my first suggestion: to put my more sensitive content behind hiders with appropriate warnings, so those who don't want to read it simply don't have to. Those that do can choose to do so, so it's a win-win.

The alternative is to keep these things to a minimum and change the way Minako summons her persona. Which I can do if necessary, as I won't disagree with the GM's decision. A sprinkle more amnesia would do wonders to help her forget those gun deaths too, which would mean nobody would have to worry about annoying hiders. BUT, this also means her character will have to be rewritten, which isn't a huge undertaking, especially so early, but it will need to be done. Which is why I realised I needed to say this all now before I got into anything too personality-rich for Minako, because that would require rewriting posts, which can be a lot harder. 

But yeah, that's basically the gist of it. If anyone has a problem with this kind of stuff and would like me to hide it behind hiders, I can do that! It'd be preferable for me if hiders were used over rewriting aspects of her character, but if it's necessary I can also do that to make sure nobody has to worry about their escapist hobbies dredging up bad memories. Again, I want everyone to be able to have fun with this RP, and I definitely don't want to be the cause of a bad time. If everyone's cool with it though, then sweet! If not, lets talk about what I can do to accommodate you.

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for reading. I just felt it was important enough to warrant a warning.

[@Lugubrious] I'm not entirely sure if you're familiar with Persona 3 as well or not, so please read this over when you get the time, since I don't want any conflicts of interest to happen either.
