[OOC] Persona: Artificial Souls

[Katakon]

Premises

January, 31, 2015.

Four years since the death of all known Persona users. Humanity lacks protectors from the enigmatic monsters called, Shadows. Which almost caused the end of the world, these youth sacrifice their lives so people can live. Most don't even know of this great price paid in blood, Except for a select few. And they can't stand around to let the youths sacrifice be for vain if the next major shadow invasion happens. But they lack the power to fight back, the power of Personas.

But Persona users can't be made. Can they?
They can. Not human Persona users. they are Androids, they are human enough to fight back the shadows with an artificial ego to create a Persona. For the past four years, the Kirijo group has restarted the Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon Project. This time humanly, these Android will be treated as humans and not only as weapons for they are the first and last defense that humanity has. Will they be enough?

We have to wait and see.

Chariot Finished

ASSW's NAME: Arik Zwei
GENDER: Male
ARCANA: Chariot
AGE: 7 Days
ASSW's CIVILIAN MODE: Arik appears to be a male, around 19 years of age, of strong germanic ancestry. With a bold "bone" structure and a tall, muscular appearance (standing at 200cm), it was built for sturdiness along with a larger internal space to house more and stronger machinery. Its skin is comprised of advanced aramid fibers with an outer layer of stretchable polymer webbed with embedded artificial nerves to mimic actual skin. In coloration his skin is a fair white, his short cut hair being blonde, and his irises a dark blue. To blend with society Arik dons casual clothing, most often consisting of various t-shirts, denim jeans, and sneakers.
ASSW's COMBAT MODE: Upon entering combat Arik immediately shows his robotic nature. Starting from the top, the skin of the head separates from ear to ear along the back of the hair line and folds forward over the rest of his hair, providing extra head protection due to the overlapping aramid fibers while exposing exhaust vents on the back on the head. On the front and back of both shoulders the seams around the hatches of his thrusters reveal themselves as said hatches retract into the body and out of the way, allowing the thrusters to protrude and swivel freely. This process follows with the thrusters on his elbows parallel with his forearm, on the front and back of each hip, on both palms, on the back of the calves, and on the bottom of the heels. Along with the thruster hatches, Arik's forearms are each able to extend slightly from a seam appearing around the middle of the forearm. The hand and arm section it is attached to then swing down below the arm remaining parallel, revealing the armaments within the arms. A small grip drops from each for the hands to grasp. Along the same seam lies a high power motor capable of spinning the forearm clockwise and counter-clockwise. When the arms are whole however, inch long spikes emerge from every knuckle to assist with unarmed attacks. On both knees another hatch opens, in line with a guide hole on the bottom of the foot exposed by the same hatch as the foot thrusters, as well as with what would be the shins, which house two-directional pilebunkers.
PERSONALITY: Still a relative newborn, Arik's personality is lacking. Having been implemented with a new and adaptive A.I., it is starting to understand human behaviors, though none have yet made themselves apparent in Arik's own behavior. It is expected to eventually fully understand and experience human behaviors and emotions, but currently has not begun even the phase of mimicking (this phase is expected to begin soon.). Arik's personality is likely to fall in line with its Chariot arcana. A custom directive of "excel" has been programmed in Arik's A.I., the effects this will have are unknown.
ARMAMENTS: Both arms house foot long barrels with 15mm bores. Custom 15mm ammunition is made to fit these barrels, ranging from handgun rounds to rifle rounds, and even shotgun shells.
In each of the eight knuckles connecting fingers to the hand is housed a 10mm spike.
Both shins house a pilebunker, which is capable of protruding from the knee or foot and can punch through almost any material.
During Orgia V.2 thrusters may be used offensively.
When specifically sent to battle he wields four flammenschwart zweihanders, all of which can connect at the pommel to form a windmill of blades.
PERSONA PROGRAM: Alaisiagae (Represented as one pair of the goddesses merged at the back, with two pairs of arms, legs hidden by a long black dress.
PERSONA APPLICATIONS: Cell Breaker, Mind Slice, Life Drain
ASSW UNIT ABILITY: Orgia V.2 - An improved version of the Orgia Mode implemented in the ASSW Aegis, Orgia V.2 overclocks Arik's body for up to two minutes, enhancing his speed, strength, processing speed, and overall power output. Orgia V.2 may be cancelled at any time. After one minute in Orgia V.2 Arik's body becomes increasingly warmer, until at the end when he can burn organic substances by touching them

[Katakon]

Arik is accepted!@Viscerous

And empress is reserved!@Satsuki

[Cinderella Man]

May I reserve The Moon arcana?

[Katakon]

Sure~@Cinderella Man

[Crimmy]

@Katakon

So where exactly will the RPG be set? Japan like the games? Or elsewhere?

[Katakon]

@Crimmy The RP will take place in Japan like the games, but the exact city is up to debate at the moment, I was thinking either Tokyo or Osaka.

[Crimmy]

What about Kyoto?

It's the best of both worlds; it's a major city in the Kansai region like Osaka, and also technically still the capital (though if I recall government administration takes place in Tokyo and the Imperial Residence is in Tokyo nowadays). Or you could go for something less central Japan and maybe Sendai or something.

[Katakon]

@Crimmy Kyoto Sounds good to me, and the all the shrines and temples could be an interesting topic to touch on in the RP.

[Crimmy]

It also provides ample fodder for DSRK callbacks.

[simj22]

I vote for Hiroshima.

[RIGHTEOUSwench]

I vote for Hiroshima.

@simj22

Seconded.

[Viscerous]

My coin voted Kyoto.

[Crimmy]

Will there a strong overlying plot, or more episodic?

[Satsuki]

ASSW's NAME: Project Queen. Alias assumed Cleo

GENDER: Female

ARCANA: Empress

AGE: 17 hours

ASSW's CIVILIAN MODE: Her attire is looks like a rather high dollar business suit. A very bizarre hair piece similar to a tiara. Her hair a bloody crimson and her eyes a cold black, however while her readout is active the glow a dark red.
ASSW's COMBAT MODE: The suit is to cover up the hard angles of her joints, the tiara slides down into a fairly complex visor. With the exception of her face hands and forearms, her body is a black however the sheen would suggest it red.

PERSONALITY: Designed with perfection in mind, her personality reflects that. A few thousand simulations with various cultures and age groups ensures she will grasp any social situation that arises. However this has made her somewhat cold as anything that is misspoke leads to misunderstanding. In addition she tends to think herself more capable than most leading her to try and fix every problems that shows itself. Her emotional stability is for the most part unwavering, sorrow, anger even happiness generally minor displays.

WEAPON TYPE: A slender set of blades slide out of her forearms. These blades are both sharp and practically unbreakable. They channel alternating electrical currents that give them the capability of firing arcs in a guided fashion.

PERSONA PROGRAM: Mary the Blood thirst. (A red armored queen without a head, simply a red crown floating above its armored form. Twin crosses hang from its wrist lightning arcing out from both.)

PERSONA APPLICATIONS: Mazio,Arm chopper, and Dia

ASSW UNIT ABILITY: A lady scorned. Her electrical current intensifies adding a magnetic property to her own frame. She herself becomes similar to a rail gun, making her blast around using herself similar to a projectile. In addition lightning arcs out from her at random, if she pulls her blades close enough together while "scorned" it forms an literal bolt of lightning. (side effects include overheats, shut downs, damage to parts, consult team lead for more information.)

(Images will be incoming.)

[Viscerous]

I'm just hoping this actually takes flight.

[Satsuki]

I am trying to draw something a tad more empress and a bit less lover.

[Levythelevy]

I am open to location!

[Katakon]

2 for kyoto @Crimmy @Viscerous
2 for Hiroshima @RIGHTEOUSwench @simj22
and 1 for wherever @Levythelevy
@Crimmy It will be a mix of the two, with it being more episodic at first with plot being overlaying later on.

@Satsuki if your done it looks good and can't wait to see your art!
