[OOC] The True Self - Persona

[vancexentan]

I'm just waiting till the non mirror world people can do something. I don't have much left for Jace right now as it is.

[Sho Minazuki]

Sorry it's been slow.

We're considering just skipping Aqua's Shadow and letting him do it via flashback later. Since Vita is the only one left technically, we're waiting for her to come to a conclusion on her shadow.

[Sho Minazuki]

Also still taking Persona requests. Ask for them before I'm gone for a day or two for my flight to Japan.

[Zane620]

At this point, might have to skip hers and say she can do it anytime in a flashback.

[vancexentan]

whatever the case I'm just doing home and trying to keep up with my gundam rp and trying to bring my fullbringer bleach rp into actuality since I don't want to waste the time I spent making a eleven paragraph CS all for shit.

[Sho Minazuki]

So been going to gym lately. Imagine if going to the gym was one of the ways you increased stats in Persona 5.

[Sen]

Sho Minazuki said Imagine if going to the gym was one of the ways you increased stats in Persona 5.

I'm actually not sure how to respond to that, Sho.

[I-Am-X]

Had a question before I try to tackle a CS for this one,

About this section

'Mirror World Dungeon Apps - This is mandatory for those who didn't get the pm by the way, because they are essential to forwarding the plot.

Name of Dungeon:

Describe what the outside looks like:

Describe what the inside looks like:

What does your shadow/mirror selves say when you deny it: ((It always shall start off with "I am a shadow, the true self." before going into boss mode while saying a few more words))

What does your "True Self" look like:

What are its abilities:

Was seeing how its not included in some of the older cs's so I wasn't sure if this is something that appears sometime after the beginning or not. Is it something that the GM sends you if your CS is approved?

[Sho Minazuki]

You fill that out and send it to Savo. You don't post it in the OOC.

I'm sure you can guess what it's for.

[Cuco]

That section is supposed to be PM'd to the GMs. You can technically leave it until after your CS is approved, so I wouldn't worry about that right now.

More importantly, we were actually not so sure we want to accept new members. I wouldn't be completely opposed myself, but I'll let the others weigh in on whether they think it's a bad idea to let any more people in.

[Sho Minazuki]

Still fairly early in honestly, we haven't even gotten to the first day of school.

Besides, I'm the one who got her here. We may expect a few more people in the next few days too.

[I-Am-X]

It's something we create ourselves and nothing that exists already, right? Asked because I'm not too familiar with the Persona games so I wasn't sure about the Mirror world app/etc bit. Though, I'm assuming the dungeon is where we'll find our 'true self'?

And I'm guessing the "True Self" is our character unmasked, the complete opposite of our characters.....well....everything, right?

I know I probably shouldn't worry about this apart until I manage to whip out a CS and actually get approved, but just wouldn't to clear up my confusion.

[Cuco]

Pretty much, the "true self" was a big representation of your inner demons. Everything the shadows talked about being symbolised with a boss fight. A persons shadow comes out in the mirror world, claims to be you, and starts rambling about something that is technically true about your character, but kind of exaggerated. In the games, one character's shadow pretty much inferred they were gay and desperately wanted someone to accept them. The character vehemently rejects the idea, and thus the shadow, and it gained power from that. That character's true self looked like a big muscly dude with a ring of flowers around it's neck. In other words, a big gay symbol XD Your character pretty much just has to have a problem of some kind that the shadow exaggerates, and then when rejected, transforms into a monstrous representation of that issue.

Think first of something in your character's life that they aren't all that cool with, then how that could be turned into something extremely negative for a shadow to spring from. It doesn't have to be perfected right now, and it will become more clear as other people go through the motions.

[I-Am-X]

Figured as much, can't believe I forgot all about the persona 4 animation with how it did things.
That whole exchange reminds me of the thing with Kanji Tatsumi and Naoto Shirogane lol.

Well that's clears that up, but what about the mirror world app thingy.

So this bit of the CS can be worked on as your rp as you work with the GM, and such on it?

A question on the storyline, I know it's probably best to read the first thread/part of the Rp and the 2nd thread, but which parts are the most vital for those just joining the RP? Or are they all vital must read? Was curious, if my character gets approved, can the transfer student card be pulled? Or the sick card?

But then again, L (Sho) did say we haven't gotten to the first day of school yet so, all of it then, eh?

[Cuco]

Yeah, the mirror world app can be worked on with us after your character has been approved. It potentially won't be relevant for some time, considering how many people we may have to get through, which is why it's not too important to worry about right now.

Technically you don't need to read much of anything unless you really want to read every last bit of info about every character. The only "plot relevant" stuff that's happened so far is the initial group having a short foray into the mirror world, but even that could be skipped as long as you pay attention from now on. The real developments are definitely going to be later on.

And there's no need to account for where your character has been till now. Even if we had been through a serious day of school, they could've easily been there in the background. There's nothing they need to have reacted to so far, so you can write up whatever kind of character you want.

[I-Am-X]

Ahh, Alrighty.

Thank you so much. I can now work on my character with ease!
Time to get to worrkk.

Just hope my character matches the arcana I'm going for. Saving my importation of my batoto persona character as a last resortt.

[Cuco]

I-Am-X said batoto persona character

Your what now? XD

[I-Am-X]

its a manga reading site that also has an rp forum and we've got a persona rp there. My character has the chariot arcana there, so I was saying if this one is no good I can fix up that one and bring it here as a last resort. xD

Oh, what move list will this RP be using? Just wanted to know what's restricted and whats not.
In the persona RP I was in we used a certain move list (it was restricted to one of the games,P4 I believe), to make sure I dont do a whoopsy lol.

[Pudding]

Me thinks thats a ship in the making~
I approve!

Pst pst...
Considering I did it, you're not limited to a persona in your arcana. Mine is Alraune, but shes' really for the Moon arcana. Since I changed the appearance and stuff shes' completly new~
Also nobody complained about it... :p

[I-Am-X]

O.o?

Was referring to the persona attacks/skills, since I wanted to use someone that I THINK hasn't been personafied.
Well, a wikia'd it on the persona wika and only came up with a clan, but would Kuzunoha (The Fox Demon) fit under the Priestess arcana?
I found little on her and she kind of fits, i think but not sure.
