Persona meets Cyberpunk.

Hello all. I’ve never written one of these before, but I have a loose set of ideas floating around in my head and figured I’d try and put them out there. I do a lot of creative writing, and there’s a story I’ve had that never got out of the scenario / anthology stage. The original prompt was a random idea from a friend to get the creative juices flowing: Persona meets Cyberpunk. It has since evolved a bit beyond that.

To summarize EXTREMELY briefly, the story(s) follows a highschool girl who, by day, is a socially stunted schoolgirl trying to fit in and make friends and by night a badass, cybernetically augmented crime fighting machine employed by the government. Complex relationships and teenage melodrama between characters who all just REALLY need a hug and badass sci-fi action, suspense, and drama. Persona meets Cyberpunk.

The concept is a bit nonsensical, in my opinion, but I think that’s half of the fun. I think it could work very well as an RP, however, the setting and such is still being workshopped. I’m happy to workshop with anyone who is interested, or, if nobody seems interested, I will post a more defined interest check in the future.

If the idea seems interesting to you, or you have a similar idea in mind, feel free to reach out! My discord is “bthena”, that would be the best way to reach out. Have a wonderful day all :>

Hello dere

Hello all, Athena here. I'm a 24 year old she/her (ew) from the Midwest US. I'm mostly a novice when it comes to literary roleplay, but I do a lot of casual writing. I write a lot of short stories, one offs, and otherwise short scenarios and go back and forth on adding to them when I feel in the mood. I enjoy a variety of genres, my favorites probably being High-Dark Fantasy (lots of magical elements, the setting oppressive and sad and full of terrible people) and Sci-Fi. I'm not only interested in those, but that's where my focus tends to be!

I like to focus a lot on interpersonal dynamics and character interaction over a broad overarching story. I live for interesting character relationships, dialogue, and tackling complex issues. I love when characters get philosophical, political and everything in between, even if those views don't necessarily reflect my own. I love interpersonal tensions and when characters disagree and fight, but I also like to have said characters grow and become closer for it.

I like out of character interactions too. Rather, I don't really mind it, but I like to keep it very separate from the actual roleplay. If I see OOC parentheses I'll probably say something and make a stink about it ^^’

I'm not entirely sure what all to put, but I look forward to joining the community :>
