Strange Gospel: An Urban Fantasy RP

Manami had not immediately noticed anything had changed, still waiting for Keita's reply to her nugget of wisdom when he started look around with a confused look on his face. Wondering if he had noticed something amiss, she glanced around the store as well, noting with some incredulity that they were, in fact, no longer in the store at all. Curious.

What?! What the what?! Manami's alarmed thoughts blared through her mind, as she spun on the spot, as if searching for a backdrop indicating they had merely stepped off a studio set or something. But... how could you walk from the setting of a store to the inside of an elevator - one filled with several others, at that - with no visual cues? Hell, she was standing perfectly still!

Manami was on guard, dropping the basket at her feet as she took in the others. She quickly realised that many of the faces were familiar. She saw them occasionally at school, right? And they all looked equally lost and perturbed. So they were all in the same boat, huh...?

The elevator opened up, revealing something... distressingly familiar inside.That overly-blue room, the TV screens showing a strange, disturbing city... and a little girl.

Tsukuyomi? Manami tilted her head slightly. That was... certainly an uncommon name to have. Her clothing was stylised, but recognisable as a miko outfit (Manami had to gulp down the urge to scold the girl for needlessly modifying her uniform in such a manner), so maybe it was a weird tradition her family had? All first-borns were named after Tsukuyomi or something?

She stepped forward to address the girl, leaning down slightly. Manami was, as probably expected, not exactly wondrous with kids but she certainly had to try, right?
"...Hello, Tsukuyomi-chan, I'm Yamada Manami. Just call me Manami, okay?" she offered a small, if somewhat worried smile, "please ignore my colleagues' rudeness. They're just surprised. Er... you called this a 'hollow space', right?"

@RolePlayerRoxas
She just might actually, I think I'll do just that. It is quite clearly the best club after all xD

@Ryougu

And comes with the added benefit of not having to deal with Chie. Clearly win/win for everyone. Except anyone who's not a delinquent.

Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP

Delinquency Within

• Name: Yamamoto Chie
• Age: 17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: The face of delinquency. Fear all 5'2" of her terrifying stature.
• Personality: Surprisingly quirky, as it turns out. Chie's appearance would bring to mind a kind, cheerful girl that offers nothing but support and warmth... and to an extent, that's true. Outside of school, that is the very being you would come across: A warm, supporting, almost motherly figure that is never without a smile or good word to say, even about complete strangers.
  
  She just also happens to have strange beliefs about school life. The most relevant opinion being “every school needs a formidable trouble-maker, right?” and... well, she ended up becoming a delinquent. So she plays the part to the best of her ability: Skipping classes, intimidating students, bossing fellow delinquents around... she can be surprisingly effective in her role, but sometimes her motherly traits shine through, protecting her fellow delinquents as if they were her real siblings. She even sometimes gives teachers advance warning of her truancy. How nice.
  
  She can also be a tad ditzy sometimes, seemingly missing obvious sarcasm or noting a highly mundane detail in a very unusual situation. She may also come across as highly unaware of potential an opponent may face... but what if that's all an act to seem more harmless than she really is?
  
  ...That's a serious question, it's really hard to tell with Chie!
• Backstory: There isn't much to note of Chie before entering Shiroyama. She had been a well-behaved student that achieved fairly good grades throughout her school years. However, Chie had an odd idea about her high school: It didn't represent the delinquents very well, did it? A disorganised bunch of grumpy kids, lead by a weakling? How were they supposed to present any sort of interesting obstacle to the Student Council?
  
  In a bold move shocking just about everyone that knew her, Chie offered her criticisms to the former 'toughest delinquent on campus', was challenged to a fight, and effortlessly thrashed him. This lead to her being crowned the new leader of the deliqnuents, and to Chie adopting this role with the goal of making delinquents a powerful force to be reckoned with, and even managed to structure the unruly group as a club to better take advantage of the school's point system.
• Inherent Engine Skill: War God's Strength - A misleadingly-titled skill that seems to grant Chie unparalleled physical strength to rival the very gods themselves! ...In actuality, it merely allows her to wield her AED as if it were weightless.
• Active Engine Device: War God's Axe - A rather massive weapon that stands just over six-feet tall, this unwieldly monstrosity can be attributed to much of Chie's reputation. In her hands, it has superior reach, power and coolness points. The one solace opponents can take is that it doesn't really do anything beyond being massive. And painful.
• Skills: Chie is fairly skilled at many domestic tasks; cooking, cleaning and babysitting youngsters being her most notable skills.
• Rank: 37th
• Club: Shiroyama's Decadent Failures and Disruptive Elements Club: The head of this particular club, formed mainly to take advantage of club benefits. Activities include, but are not limited to: developing 'tough guy' talk, developing lunch-money-shakedown techniques, how to modify one's school uniform into something badass, and theatrics.

@GingerBoi123 No problems from me, looks fine.

@Ryougu Just for the sake of clarification, is she performing actual flight, or is it just hovering a set distance from the ground? Other than that, looks fine. She should just join Chie's club instead.

@TheFake Looks good to me too.

@Rin Accepted, under the condition that Chie gets to the pet the fox every day.

@MonkeyBusiness I don't think there's any problem on my end. Accepted from me.

And a quick reminder of the rankings: They aren't an absolute measure of one's strength, so there's no need to aggregate around an average to 'keep up'. It's mainly a measure of accumulating points after all, so keep that in mind, especially if your character is unlikely to get into many fights.

I genuinely haven't.

I have a rom of the PSP version of Persona 3 installed, but I haven't played it yet since I want to use my PS4 controller and I don't know how to hook that to my PC right now. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR

Spoilers: P3P is the best Persona ever.

disclaimer

Having only played P3P, the PS2 version of P4, and the first few dungeons of P1, my opinion is very biased. But in my defence, Minako is Best Protag

-Rolls out of bed-

Co-GM guy reporting in. Will hopefully have my character up after work.

Strange Gospel: An Urban Fantasy RP

Manami, carrying a basket for herself, followed alongside Keita as they traversed the shop. Out of respect for his troubles, she opted to not pursue further argument of his alleged slacking, but she would not let the matter die. There was always tomorrow to remind him. Again.
Her basket was considerably less full than Keita's, with only a few condiments occupying a corner of the container.

She tilted her head in his direction at the sudden question, obviously not expecting such a thing. She... was not a consumer of curry, so finding an answer was difficult. She had a preference for chicken, but did that go with curry at all? How relevant was April to the equation? Was there even an objectively wrong answer...?

"...You should go with whatever appeals the most to you," Manami gave her evasive reply with the air of someone delivering great wisdom. Adjusting her glasses with her free hand, she offered a stiff smile to Keita, "After all, onlu you truly know your own taste."

"...As long as you can keep it short. The quicker we get home, the better it'll be," Manami replied, her tone completely lacking in the casual spirit displayed by Keita. The disciplinarian seemed incapable of dropping her no-nonsense persona, even after school hours, which made conversations very difficult with her. Not that she seemed to notice. After all, Manami was only looking out for her fellow students. She walked alongside him to the supermarket, deciding she could get a few supplies in the meantime. If nothing else, it'd be one or two less items on the list for the weekly shopping later on.

Her eyes glanced towards him as he tried to advertise his father's restaurant in an awkward manner. What had gotten him so flustered, all of a sudden? Perhaps he was worried about pushing his family's products? How silly. Manami may be tough about studying, but even she could understand if familial obligations took precedent... somewhat. Either way, it was disheartening to know that the issues with Strange Gospel were even affecting their business. She held no illusion that her patronage alone would keep them afloat, but every little could help, right? Besides, it couldn't be so dire that they were about to close up shop or anything.

"I don't mind visiting, I suppose," Manami replied to Keita's advertisement coolly, "if nothing else, I suppose it gives me an opportunity to discuss your slacking with your family..."

Manami was more likely serious with that statement. She wasn't known for her wit, after all.

Meant to post a lot sooner. Home life suddenly decided I don't need time to myself after work these days.
