Persona 3: Dark Side of the Redux

/thumbsup Done.
So if we've got two slots reserved and two taken, how many players are we having overall?

The Velvet Room (Dark Side of the Redux Appendix Thread)

Furuya Hotaru

Name
Furuya Hotaru
Age
17
Gender
Male

Appearance



Blessed or perhaps cursed with soft, feminine features and waist length bleach grey hair, Hotaru's broad shoulders and stocky build make up for it. He stands just shy of 5"4" and is rarely seen without a cigarette behind one ear.

Personality
For the lack of a better term, Hotaru is lazy. He tends to put forward the least amount of effort possible and avoids more difficult work, preferring to do the light stuff. Nevertheless he is more than willing to get his hands dirty if there's something in it for him, or if it means that someone will owe him a favour. Naturally this changes completely when it's a woman doing the asking, at which point the normally calm and relaxed Hotaru devolves into a stuttering wreck, utterly at the mercy of his female overlords. Overall he tries to maintain his distance from others while still being a part of the group, striking a balance that means he is never completely open about himself to anyone.

Weapon
A length of metal pipe, long enough to wield two-handed.

Arcana
Emperor

Initial Persona
Forneus
Weak to fire, resistant to ice
Bufu A basic ice magic attack.
Tarukaja A support spell that boosts one's strength.

Prime Persona
Unknown

Ultimate Persona
Unknown

History
The Furuya family is a large one, yet only two of it's six members are male. Hotaru grew up surrounded by his elder sisters, always treated differently, alternately picked and doted on over the years. His henpecked early life left scars on Hotaru that would remain thankfully unseen during his middle school days, when he was left in the company of his own sex at an all-boys school in Tokyo. It wasn't until he moved to Tatsumi Port Island to Gekkoukan High School that the true extent of his trauma became apparent. Unable to speak to women for fear of being beaten, unable to show them any goodwill for (the perhaps irrational) fear of being spoiled like a child, Hotaru retreated into himself, avoiding all contact with the fairer sex. For the first year of school he was mercifully safe in the care of his uncle who lived nearby, but when he entered his second year, circumstances changed and he was forced to move into the Iwatodai Dormitory.
As a co-ed dorm, it was not his first choice.

Inventory
60 pack Camel cigarettes (half-empty), Zippo

I considered bringing him back, but went with something new instead. Hotaru is basically Youhei MKII anyways.

Well, I feel a bit bad about the shortness of the bio, but he's done.

Persona 3: Dark Side of the Moon [OOC]

I'm still here, by and large. I recommend a restart though.

A chime cut in across the school tannoy, interrupting a dozen conversations. 'Attention, attention. All SeeD candidates who participated in today's Field Test, please make your way to the second floor landing and await further instruction. I repeat, all SeeD candidates who participated in today's Field Test, please make your way to the second floor landing and await further instruction. Thank you.' Duncan froze midway through trying to comfort Eika; he was supposed to give that announcement... With a sense of dread, he looked at his PDA to confirm what he already knew; they were late. He needed to return to the classroom and organise his paperwork, as well as write up the Rank Reports for those who had passed. But be couldn't very well leave her in this state... The Instructor cast around desperately, not even sure what he was looking for until he gave up. '... Sorry about this, but I need to do some paperwork. You can come sit in the classroom with me if you want, until you feel a bit better.' He led on toward his room, assuming that Eika was following him, his mind racing as the worked out what to write... After talking with Corvo it was already decided who would pass, but their initial SeeD Ranks would be up to him. Easier said than done, considering he had spend half the test separated from them. Striding up to his lectern, Duncan marshalled his thoughts and began to tap away at his computer.

Down the corridor, Yoko and Kein were on their way too. 'I should have been here earlier but... well, I have priorities, right?' Yoko put on an uncharacteristically childish pout and Kein remembered her role within Garden; she served as an assistant to various instructors, organising lessons and shepherding students around the campus. She was probably responsible for gathering the candidates for the test results. Of course that her priorities involved checking that his parts were all in the right place spoke volumes for her work ethic. 'Don't look at me, it's not like I'll punish you for... it...' Immediately regretting his choice of words, Kein pointedly averted his gaze from his girlfriend's suddenly lit-up eyes. He could see that she was about to say something, likely something quite personal from the glint in her eye, but fortunately one of the others turned up just in time. '... You can tell me all about that idea later, dear. In minute detail.' It was amazing how she could switch from gruelling pervert to upstanding instructor in a matter of seconds...

Eventually. Taking the tube in the early hours while still heavily drunk is scary.
I'd like to give people a chance to wrap thing up (and today is hella busy) so I'll post tonight.
/edit Well it took a while, what with the Guild not working and all, but sod it.

Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum [7/10 Slots]

Alright then, settle up scenes boys and girls, 'cause we'll be moving onto the award ceremony tonight and after a round of posts, the ball.

Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum [7/10 Slots]

I shall. If you don't hear from me within 24 hours, I am probably passed out somewhere in Soho.

MCM tomorrow, hopefully whilst drunk. Woop.
