Persona 4 - Black Carnival

"Oh....interesting so this is the cast in this little play of mine hm? Very odd this group of young children to come and face me in this darkened hall. Welcome small ones too my lair and come take a seat and let's spin you a tale. Of bravery and lies, of truth and sadness, of conquest...and death. Perhaps some of you are keen to know why we set our tale aflow...in a distant land of sun and samurai. This small town of Inaba is more than just a small little town. Truth be told chaos came along and forced a group to form to stop the flow. But now something different has come. To this idyllic little town. A new story to embark is your task after you leave this creaking ark. Too come and face them is your task. And dance the dance of flowing lies. While keeping friends close and form new ties. My task that I beset too you is the search this fading realm of shadows. A land full of humanity's pain. Understand these bloody tears and stop the darkness from creeping near. It is your task with these cards that symbolize your heart of hearts. Trust me child this is no lie nor a fabricated cry."

"But wait you say...what does this have to do with you? Everything and nothing at the same time. Perhaps you will find the truth. Hidden underneath all this pain. Or maybe you will stop in the shade. Darkness roams and rules this plane. You will either succeed and breath in the light or drown in shadow burnt with blight. So this contract I offer you...too give you power to get you through. Despite all the pain you will suffer you will be better for my offer. Will you accept my perilous task? Or shall you pass from this trek? I only ask that you stay true to yourself if you do. Sign your name and know your real name. A mask to give you strength..."

Alright thank you scarecrow/joker for weaving the start of this roleplay of mine but let's get a bit more clearer on what this roleplay is about. This will be set in Inaba from the 4th game. The events of the game did transpire however the cast has left the town for the most part and will only be shown in cameos. This roleplay will take place both in TV Land and an area akin to the dark hour that has appeared alongside it. The events of Persona 4 transpired three years ago and thus makes the time period 2014. You may know some of the characters from the old cast but the chances are you won't have known most of them except if you grew up in Inaba. This roleplay will not have a wild card and everyone will have a specific card given to them (I.E Tower, Strength, Chariot but not judgement). You may have a custom persona however keep in mind I will reserve the right to refuse it if I don't feel it fits the arcana it represents.

In regards to Arcana or Tarot Cards please base your characters around your chosen tarot card in one way or another. It'd be weird to have a shy, mousy, and small young girl be a representation of the strength arcana for example. There will be no stats and the skills like Zio will be implemented in combat as assist moves to your characters in combat. Think of it as a quick way out of a tough situation or when you're fighting something big.

Igor will be replaced by Scarecow/Joker the reason why I'm calling him both names is because he insists that he has no name and will be taking the spot of Igor for all of us. He will offer assistance but it will be cryptic most of the time and sometimes what he says may even be blatant lies. He himself will call himself a narrator but he also fancies himself a writer and likes a good twist. However ignoring him may be just as dangerous. He can be helpful or harmful but he will not interfere without an extremely good reason. Once you're character is deemed strong enough he may even use his power to unlock a stronger form of your persona or another one entirely.

We will all be in Inaba Highschool too make things simpler to get the cast together just like in Persona 4. I may consider a middle schooler if there's a good story and reason behind him or her being there.

The basic plot is more or less along the same lines as Persona 4 down to the school year just starting and everything is fine. However people are growing uneasy after the recent disappearance of a woman in town seemingly out of nowhere with the police out to find the person responsible. However there hasn't been any real leads. It seemed a lot like the events a few years ago but no murder victim has been found and there won't be. What happened to the people will be told in the story. During the night Joker/Scarecrow will appear to us in a shared dream and start us on our way unlocking the first seal too our individual arcanas but not giving us to them outright. The following day will have a few of us (if there is a large group of people interested in this roleplay) exploring the tv world and the new area.

If there are anymore questions please ask me and I'll be glad to answer them.

"Come now children don't be shy me and vance will show you why. That a journey is more than words. But a fable is not made on one's own."

"You're late Mask everything has already been discussed and our plans have been thrown back and forth. Nothing much worth noting from the others though you may be interested in what we have talked about earlier regarding the signals. Would you be interested in knowing? I can give you a brief explanation though this WILL NOT be a regular thing so don't be late again." Jason said calmly but firmly as he watched Mask enter. He had just been about to leave with only a handful of people left in the room. He stood as he usually did his professionalism showing through his usually casual demeanor. Jason just simply seemed to be the captain at the moment despite himself.

As Jack sat down he was met by the familiar face of Grant Nimitz who sat down right next to him heavily and breathed out deeply. He was still sweaty though he had seemed to have wiped some of it off or had otherwise cooled down. He cracked his knuckles and neck before addressing his fellow OMNI soldier, "So shit went down today. I'm sorry I was a bit of a load back there I wasn't expecting elite zaku units. Usually i'm just front line infantry. I leave that shit up to Beta, or Paul whenever I need too. So you holding up well buddy? I can only imagine today's been a killer for you. Especially since you know you're kind new here and all." Grant said rubbing his face with his right hand. Over in the corner Nena Trinity sat talking to Puru and Graham who seemed to be only paying attention to Puru intentionally talking to Nena as little as possible as the group conversed about the fight Puru bragging about the whole enemy team she had to fight off Nena saying she shouldn't get cocky.

Ben was stupefied to say the least he couldn't help but feel being called careless was a bit right and wrong at the same time. Sure his reckless plays had forced a nightmare wheel on his team but he couldn't just dawdle his fingers and let his opponents keep building up a field. He had to make a fight worth noting and he gave it his all. He doubted if it was a single duel either player would've been able to stop him singularly. Not to knock Angelo of course but he felt if he had not been put under the restraint of the tower of babel he'd have been able to win that duel in a better fashion. But at the end of the day he did lose the duel. He had no right to complain one way or another about the outcome as his big brother always told him, 'Winning isn't what's important all of the time. It's about what you take away from that win or loss that's important. The real losers are the people who didn't walk away with any real improvement.' So all that meant for Ben was that he had to nut up and shut up and learn how to play better. It was his fault that they didn't win if he had been better...if he had drawn Merlin faster...Ben only could think about the problem at hand before he got up and left the room quickly his intent on perhaps getting more cards for his deck or maybe seeing what others thought about his knights. No man is a mountain after all.

Andre sat at his seat bewildered at first...Ben had lost? How? How in the name of the devil had his brother, the god damn golden boy of his family, lose!? What in god's green fuzzy earth had led to that event? According to Doctor Loud Mouth no one there was worth noting. He could only wonder if that girl Michelle was the reason Ben had lost...he'd figure that out on his own later. But what came next shocked him and confused him. HE WAS ONE OF THE TOP FOUR?! What in god's name lead the man to conclude that? Two Armageddon knights, and a field spell were his contributions to the team. His partner went all out and shot herself in the foot. That was NOT DUELING. Was he referring to his milling choices? Archfiend Queen being the first and the combination of his thought of plan to pull out a big play with Skull Archfiend the next turn? Maybe that was it but in the end his performance was BEYOND pitiful in truth. He was still in need of tutoring which was why he was here. Perhaps in the future he'd get stronger. He supposed he'd take solace in the fact that at least his only downside was something he couldn't possibly have had a word in for. After Maisy's destruction he couldn't possibly have done anything to help her even if he wanted to at that point in time. The nitpick was only for nitpicking sake. Well at least Andre had a good reason to stick to single duels. Andre reached out into his pocket and pulled out a card he had traded away for his chicken game. He looked at it and chuckled, "I'm going to make good use of you. You can bet I will..." Andre chuckled quietly as he quickly pocketed his card back. He wondered who would be the first poor sod to have to fight his new ace.

"Twins and newbies? No offense guys but that's actually pretty funny." the man chuckled as he laid back into his chair. He finished off the rest of his food before wrapping his arms around his head. "And you seem eerily calm about all of this new squad changing and shit. You wouldn't have happened to be casted in any horror movies would you? It would seem like it would be right up your alley." the man said as cracked his neck before shaking his head. "I'm just messing with you guys in case you weren't aware. But yeah don't worry if you are heading out too space or going towards some base nearby you'll be spared the monotony of this place." the man said with difference as he spit into a nearby trash can. "Any idea on who your new boss is? If he's around here I'll probably know him everyone around here knows me at the least. Shouldn't be too hard to get too the bottom of it. If you don't whatever you'll find him or her eventually this place has a lot of good people in it. They'll show you around if you need the help. That being said I don't mind helping you out either at least until my job comes up later." The man continued as he scratched behind his right ear idly.

It happens thanks for explaining though. I finished school a week earlier than my fellow college students personally.

"We can have Sigma Team scout for us don't worry on that regard. They have suits more well...suited for the task being more mobile and able to achieve flight for an extended period of time. As for your part as a liaison I'll consider it next time we make contact with Mariemaia. For now I'd prefer not to rely on her too avoid coming off as weaker or dependent on her force. We need to establish ourselves as an efficient and strong force." Jason replied to Donna as she spoke up. He then looked around and nodded at the lack of hands appearing. "If none of you have questions or are finished speaking to me or one of the others here then I'll dismiss you for today. I hope my information given has earned me more trust from our foreign allies." Jason said as SIGMA Leader, Beta, and Grant all got up and left after saluting their captain. Paul stayed and so did Hiling Care. Puru got up with Graham who asked if they wanted to get dinner before going to do whatever they could get their hands on. Puru agreed happily.
