[hider=Idea 14 - Persona: Dreams of Tomorrow]
Idea 14 revolves around the Persona universe. As this is just a half baked Idea, I don't have anything too detailed yet, just a barebones idea. I'm not sure if I want to lean more heavily towards p5 or 3/4.[hr] The idea of a Persona in the games is that they are physical manifestations of a person's psyche and subconscious perception of who you are, or how others may perceive you. These Personas are Awakened in a myriad of ways, such as having the will to rebel against society and its rules and stigmas, accepting yourself for who and what you are, or by accepting a contract, just to name a few.

To me, however, I saw having a persona as having a will to fight, to stand against all odds, no matter the cost. To be able to use your own force of will to make your goals and dreams manifest. Of course, this would be far too easy of a requirement for a persona universe. You'd have awakenings left and right, and it would just become a normal thing to have. This is usually mitigated by having a separate world that the characters step into where they can summon their Persona. This world is usually locked behind something like a phone app, the hidden 25th Hour™, or going into a TV. I haven't exactly thought about how I'd have characters enter the Twilight Zone(name pending) in this rp, though the options are plentiful. You could go through mirrors, call a specific number, draw a ritual circle with special chalk, etc.

The main idea behind this is being what you want to be, and having the will to fight in order to get it. Do you want to be a hero who fights in the name of truth and justice for the betterment of all? Do you want to be an inventor, rocketing society into the future with new medicine, technology, and understanding? Or perhaps you want to be an influential leader, guiding the masses towards and era of change, to further the development and respect of your country, or at the very least, the place you call home? You could even want to be a world-renowned artist, known for inspiring creations all around the globe.[hr] That's about all I've got so far. I don't quite have a story set up yet, though if it just follows the typical Persona formula, it's shouldn't be too hard to make something basic and then expand from there. I'd be pretty lenient on just what kind of Persona you could have, so long as you could reasonably justify it. Something like the Thunderbird would be a little weird as a Persona, but if you could justify it somehow by your character's motivation being some involving the weather or protection of humanity, I could be convinced.

I'd also need to work out how to summon the Persona, perhaps I'd do something with using a specific item, or perhaps discarding that idea entirely and going full anime and just shouting its name. And as for taking on a different appearance in the Twilight Zone, I probably wouldn't do a full costume change, but I'd like to do something along the lines of taking on aspects of your Persona. Maybe not by physical changing your body, but like in the case of the Thunderbird, perhaps you could draw on the legends, having a cape made of feathers, and a cap in the shape of a bird's head?
