The True Self - Persona

http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/57799/posts/ooc?page=1#post-1778457

Here is a link to the new thread by the way.

The True Self - Persona

Name: Sutoraiki Kaminari

Age: 18

Appearence:
Living up to the family name?

Ignore the most of the police crap on him. He only has a normal blue shirt, with a black undershirt, a neck tie, and pants. This is usually what he is wearing when he isn't wearing a school uniform.

Arcana: Emperor

Personality: A calm and collected individual who is more known for his family's rep. He decided to try to follow what he thought he loved to do the most - Detective Work. He is an avid fan of Murder Mystery novels, and often wants to jabber about them as much as possible. Thankfully he keeps that swelling feeling inside of him, and remains serious, even when talking with others.

Although he is a calm and collected indivual, he can often sometimes become... Rather panicky when pressured. This is made worse when his father expects him to live up to his family's name, and its now causing him to rethink his options. Despite his nervousness, he has a rather big heart, and is willing to talk it out with almost anyone.

Equipment/Skills: He has basic police training thanks to his dad, and is one of the more athletic students in the school. He also has had some Kendo training.

Equipment - Stun Baton.

Background: Kami was born to a long line of detectives, officers, you name it, and was expected to live up to his family's name. Although he finds this to be a lot of pressure, he enjoyed solving the crimes in the books his father bought, gradually growing his interest in the "family business." He went through his whole life, preparing for the moment he would become and investigator. He made a few friends, but he sometimes contacts them to see how they're doing. The boy has recently began helping his father with one of his newest cases though.

He was recently beckoned by his father to help him out with his newest case - the teenagers and some random cult. He thought it would be easy, he thought it would eventually blow over... But after actually doing some investigating, he is feeling the pressure on his back pushing him down. He doesn't want to disgrace his family name, but the case isn't going anywhere.

The panic of this case could be getting to him, as he is begining to have strange dreams each night. He wonders what it could all mean with the blue room, the weird old dude, and that hot chick he saw every night in his dreams.

He has also recently turned 18 (in the roleplay).

Persona: Zeus

Appearance:
Should of made his Persona look like He-Man for the lolz :P

Abilities:

Zio: Deal a small amount of electricity damage to an enemy.

Arm Chopper: Deal a small amount of physical damage to an enemy, with a chance of causing fear.

Okay, new thread is up.... By the way, there is a few screw ups on the first post, so ignore it and all that good stuff. I'll fix it later.

Anyways, I'm going to request that you repost your apps on the new thread if you could. I'll keep your spaces reserved as long as your still here.

The True Self - Persona

The Velvet Room Prelude

"Welcome to the Velvet Room."

Within a lounge draped in blue, sat two strange figures. One of them, a tall woman with straight, shining blonde hair that fell to her hips, looks at you, though she is not the one who spoke. Much like the velvet curtains draped over the windows, this woman's uniform was almost entirely blue, with only a black belt and shoes adding to her colour palette.

On the cerulean sofa beside her, was a much shorter man, who slowly raised his head. Despite his tengu-like nose, and wide, bloodshot eyes, you sensed no hostility from him. If anything, he gave the impression of a strange, yet likable uncle.

"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter."

The strange man spoke as he waved an arm over the table before him. Several tarot cards were laid out, four rows of five. Grinning with anticipation, he picked one card up, seemingly at random, staring at it for a moment before saying, "It has been a long time since I entertained multiple guests. I look forward to the results of this meeting."

It is at this moment that the presence of others beside you becomes known. To your eyes, they are simply faceless figures that make no noise. Again, there seems to be no hostility in them.

"You possess the potential to carve an interesting future," spoke the woman at last, her voice authoritative, despite the carefree expression she wore, "with so many guests, I cannot wait to see the possibilities of the future."

The man nodded, steeping his fingers as he leaned forward.

"Do not concern yourself with that, for the moment," he said, his eyes continuing to stare unblinkingly at the small gathering before him, "when you wake up, please consider your role in this tale. To be a major or minor player, is entirely your choice. When we next meet, please tell me how you will continue."

And with that, the blue lounge began to fade from view as the woman rose to her feet. The words she said were barely audible as your consciousness faded...

Okay then, Persona RP time! In a nutshell, the lovely little town of Warakuma is experiencing a bit of a Badly-Behaved-Teenager-itis epidemic. Since this is a tad unusual, quite a few people are concerned about this, but can't really do much about it. Because, really, what's even the cause? How do you cure cults? Who's doing the brainwashing? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Unbeknownst to the world at large, however, the true cause isn't something... normal. See, it turns out there's another world out there. A world that can only be accessed under certain conditions. See, all you need is a large mirror, magic powers, and or something with said magic powers to shove you inside, and voila! You're inside the Reverse World. Or Mirror World. Or Flip-Floppity Land.
Putting that aside, this place is quite dangerous, as it's teeming with 'Shadows'. They're pretty horrible monsters that would very much like to devour you. If you want to have any chance of surviving, you're going to need to evoke the power of Persona. How do you do that, you ask? Well... you'll know, once you need to know.

For now, here's some rules for ya.

Standard 'No God-Moding', No harrassment', 'no meta-gaming' etc. stuff applies.

One character and user per Tarot, if only to enforce diversity... If it gets late in the roleplay and no ome makes that arcana, then sure, make an app for it.

Relatedly, stick to Personas within your arcana, please. If you're using someone or something that's not been Persona'd before, try and have them match the typical traits of the arcana as closely as possible.

No Maragadyning things from the very beginning, please.

Gms help forward the story and such... We also sort of know what we are doing, so mind listening to us. The gms are-

Note: Given the high number of available arcana, I'd rather we add to the list gradually, instead of unleashing an army of Persona users. While you can still make a claim, it may be a while before you can use a Persona. Of course, I'll make sure there's other things to do when not spelunking alien worlds. Plus, feel free to play a non-Persona user. That should make things... varied.

Also, if your an inactive persona user and you come back after quite some time, you might either be sharing an arcana with someone or be a non-persona user due to factors. If you do quit, you will be a npc.

Okay then... any questions?

The True Self - Persona

I'll get a new thread posted up then.

I'll start pming people about the administration stuff tomorrow.

The True Self - Persona

RolePlayerRoxas said
Staying would just make me feel awkward and even crappier than I already do, but I know leaving is going to cause complications for Vita, so... I really don't know what I plan to do at the moment.

Whatever your plan is, we are with you... However, can we not start a new thread? Could you still help out with putting apps on the front? You don't have to, but we would appreciate it if you could.

Also, everyone who is still here, we need to discuss two different things before we can move forward.

1. We need a compiled list of who wants to be an admin. Whoever opts themselves will be in a group pm. We will then discuss who is it going to be and all that good stuff.

2. We need to make a plot. Roxas said she didn't have much of a plot, but I'm willing to hear it. The decided admins can decide how to go forward with it and how to end this. Also, we should decided on when people get their personas and such, but that comes later.

I'm opting myself in as one of the admins, and such.

I'll pm you guys as soon as I can.... By that, I mean tomorrow.

The True Self - Persona

Also guys, just because a gm is stepping down doesn't mean this roleplay is dying... We just need to wait for the next gm or such.

I'm not following suit, because I at least want to see to the end of this whole storyline with a satisfying conclusion.

I would be willing to volunteer, but I have lots of crap to do, plus I'm partially gming two other roleplays that I'm trying to keep alive.

If no one else volunteers, I'll do it, although if you had a previous plan and plot for all this Roxas feel free to pm the person your passing it down to... If that's alright.

The True Self - Persona

RolePlayerRoxas said
Well, I'm really sorry to say this so suddenly, but I don't really have the motivation to GM this any more, for various reasons. So I'll be stepping down.

I get that feeling when gming roleplays (even though I recently started gming)... Its understandable that your coming to this sort of conclusion.

I hope you will still roleplay with us, and not completely quit on the roleplay... I also hope you have a plan for passing on the mantle, because we don't want to let this die here...

The True Self - Persona

Whoo, all I gotta say is slow day...

I was hoping that someone else would post, but I'll probably get some posts in later.

Say Roxas, mind if some of us create a few npc characters that you control?
