I normally I steer clear of Harry Potter RPs, but if we don't need encyclopedic knowledge, I'm interested.

And just to be sure, since its been years since I read the books, James Sirius Potter is one of Harry's sons, right?

Definitely. It's a Persona tradition for the characters to receive their Prime Persona late game. I already know what my Persona's gonna be.


Excellent. I know what mine's going to be. It's not all that hard to guess, but that's alright.
Speaking of high-level Personas, are we going to have the ability to unlock a final-tier custom Personas. Like how party-member Personas level up late in the game/their Social Link. Will we be getting one of those?

You assume correctly (although Imperial legionaires would be pretty rare in Windhelm). Having one or a few sympathetic Nord (or other) acquaintances could increase the drama even more when the story reaches its climax.


Especially if they're staunch Stormcloak supporters. I'm definitely into this.
I have an interest in this. Would it be correct to assume that, while we'll only be playing as Dunmer, we could interact with sympathetic non-Dunmer NPCs, like the Kahjiit traders and the Argonian Dockworkers, or even one-or-two non-asshole Nords and (later on) contacts from the Imperial Legion?
Drag away. It's part of the reason I had Gruffydd pop right up out of nowhere.

And @floodtalon, while I'm not qualified to accept or deny you, it's nice to see another application. And I have no idea whether or not this will actually impact your chances of acceptence, but I thought it worthwhile to share: that Persona you have there (Angel) would share a name with one already in the games—afairly low-level Persona of the Justice Arcana.

EDIT: Well, since Blu didn't bring it up, I guess not a big deal—there's certainly a clear visual difference between the two—but I still find it really amusing.
Sorry I took so long to post. I meant to do it a lot sooner, but things got in the way. I am here again, though.

Oh yeah, and HP: 92; SP: 98
Gruffydd was mildly frustrated to discover that while he did share a dorm with some of the others—that being Dorm C—he was on a completely different floor. Intellectually, he knew that it was actually great to be in the same building, but Igor's talk of calamities had sent his legend-stuffed brain into overdrive, and couldn't stop thinking of all sorts of reasons why it would be better if they were on the same floor. But to his room he went. He changed out of his uniform, and into something less formal, and more comfortable. He joined a few of his fellow students at the gate and went to see Ms. Sasaki.

He had been surprised to find that the Professor there. Perhaps, he thought, [color=forestgreen[i]there is more to him than I had thught. Even if he's still passed out.[/i][/color]



April 11th / Tuesday / Early Morning


He rose with the dawn and greeted it with his prayer to Belyn, as was his custom. He took the extra time he had before school to see if he could find any information on these "Personae" online. He could probably just go an ask Igor, and planned to do so, but there was probably different information to be found online than the old entity—and whatever Igor was, Gruffydd was fairly sure he was not human—would have to say.

This, of course, led him to Carl Jung. He recognized the name, but he didn't know where from. Jungian psychology was far, far too complex to take in all at once, what with its talk of the "Colective Unconscious" and "Archetypes," and Gruffydd only just giving it a cursory scan, but the presence of Personae and Shadows convinced him to look into it deeper.

He'd have to do it later, though. He had classes, and he was used to having far more time to get ready in the morning than he'd left himself with.



April 11th / Tuesday / After School

Gruffydd was not surprised by the cancellation of Geography that day. Ms. Sasaki was prbably still in the hospital, and if the Professor...

Ah yes, the Professor. That would be the first time I've heard of a hangover lasting for over twelve hours. Either something else was going on, or he has a serious dinking problem.

These were Gruffydd's thoughts as he entered the Drama room. Looking at him, one might think him ideal for a spot's team, and while he's certainly had fun playing sports in the past, that was playing for the shee enjoyment of it. While he knew there were exceptions, teams played to win, to the exclusion of everything else, and that killed it for him.

There were certainly other places he could go, but why bother? The way you "win" in the Theater is to put on a good show, and you don't manage that without genuinely caring about the material. But there wasn't Drama club today. So why was he there? He had, for reasons that he couldn't exactly have predicted, missed the first meeting. He wasn't part of the club hierarchy, but he had been a member for a-year-and-a-half, and was rather invested in it. So, he wanted to see if he could find someone from the club, and in doing so discover how things had gone.

They had gone well. One of the first-years even had half an idea of what they were doing.

This good news warming his heart, Gruffydd set out for his real destination for the afternoon: the library. There wasn't too much to study this early in the year, but he had something else on his mind: a man by the name of Carl Jung.



The Red Book, huh? Something to look for, then.

Gruffydd was walking down one of the school's man halls, when as he passed of their five nurse's offices, he saw some familiar people out of the corner of his eye: Dai, Kazuo, and Bride.

"Hey guys, what are you doing in the nurse's office? Is everything all right?"
Hey, wasn't it already established (in the OOC) that all the characters are more-or-less neighbors in the dorms? Then we can all walk Bride back!

And I'll figure out my new HP/SP when I wake up. Right now, I need sleep.
They had just finished hacking their opponent into pieces, pieces which quickly dispersed into ever more static. The Colossal Maya, which had once dominated the room, was gone, leaving the room feeling empty. Guffydd's heart was pounding, his blood rushing through his ears, his breath no more than heavy panting from the exertion of chopping that monstrosity to bits with a shovel.

I feel alive.

But before he could ponder the implications of that realization, a glowing blue door appeared. Out of thin air. Makes as much sense as anything else in this place. And Kazuo seemed to think it was the exit. Well, why not? It's either that or a trap, and Kazuo looks like he knows what he's talking about.

Gruffydd breathed in sharply, realizing thathe didn't know where Ms. Sasaki was. He looked around, only to find that Jonathan was carrying the unconscious teacher, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

And then shiro bid them goodbye. "For now, Shiro. Goodbye, for now. Gruffydd's thoughts turned to their Shadows, having been taken away by Kazuo's. "I suspect this won't be the last time we come around here. And the name's Gruffydd Iorwerth. It's been a pleasure meeting you."



Gruffydd wasn't sure what he had been expecting on the other side of the door—somewhere in Nichibotsu, maybe?—but a large room, its walls lined with books, occupied with nobody other than a strange old man with an absurdly long nose had not been it. He introduced himself as Igor, a name that Gruffydd thought suited him well.

Persona, eh? That sounds kinda familiar...

And then Ms. Sasaki vanished from Jonathan's arms. Gruffydd's eyes grew wide, and he turned from Jonathen to Igor to demand an explanation. Only for Walton to appear, and explain that Ms. Sasaki couldn't exist here—for some reason. Gruffydd thought it was ridiculous, but the fact that Walton had moved her to the hospital calmed him down somewhat.

Igor's talk of masks, calamities, and power stunned Gruffydd. Apparantly they were a group of "chosen heroes," or something. And if that dream of his was anything to go by, Kazuo's was marked as being "extra chosen." Gruffydd didn't know how to feel about any of that.

But before Gruffydd could properly process any of that, Igor gave each of them a key that, apparently, would let them access the Velvet Room at their leisure. And then they were promptly booted out.



Gruffydd groaned as he regained consciousness. At first, he was inclined to think what he had just experienced was a dream, but then he opened his eyes to find himself in the school's central building, shovel in one hand, and Velvet Room Key in the other, leaving no doubt about the reality of the situation.

Then Jonathan stood up, and gave his heartfelt and—in Gruffydd's opinion—fairly awkward apology. Gruffydd wanted to comfort his classmate, but he wasn't exactly in the position to "accept" the apology—his body having been taken on a rampage by his own shadow for even longer than Jonathan's—nor did he think the rest of what Jonathan said was a practical necessity most of what he said. But he was able to pick up on at least some of the emotional significance it held for Jonathan. "Jonathan, you've done more today to help the rest of us, that I've seen, of anyone else here. Whatever else there is to you, you are a kind person, or at least want to be. I can only really speak for myself, but I know that I think you'd be a wonderful person to be around." Tucking the Velvet Room Key into his pants pocket, Gruffydd walked over to Jonathan and gave him a good-natured slap on the back. "And besides," he added a bit more quietly, though not so quiet that the other''s couldn't hear if they were paying attention, "You're not so foreign that everyone you meet says your name wrong. Let me tell you what, that pissed me off so much before I found the humor in it. I'd throw such tantrums..." he came to a close with a chuckle, hoping that the mildly humorous self-degradation of his story would help to put the clearly anxious Jonathan at ease.

He was about to recount one particularly hilarious tantrum involving a ball of twine and a watermelon, when Bride asked about changing clothes. He offered him a sympathetic smile. "Yeah, you're pretty drenched. A change of clothes would probably be a good idea. That must feel pretty uncomfortable."

A thought occurred to him. "Hey, where in the dorms is everyone staying anyways. I'm... He trailed off, briefly describing his current residence, jerking his head in the direction of the building it was in.
