Ensunai Town
A small suburban seaside town on the outskirts of Syonan-to. It's a quiet place away from the bustle of the big city with a nice, quaint shopping district. The people are friendly and open, and it's small enough that people will be willing to get close.

I'm making our The Fool a girl as a subversion of the normal Fool, just fyi.
 
is there like a dorm the characters hang out in or something? Ala P3? What's the shadow world gonna be like as well?

The school does have a dorm where the players will all stay, yes.

The Shadow World is going to be Avalon from Arthurian Legends, and because the Personas are Round Table Knights and Charlemagne's 12 Peers (with some leeway), the bosses and such will be villains from Arthurian Lore and the Matter of France. Dungeons will be Castle Sieges where you storm the castle in an effort to defeat the Lord of the Realm.
 
Oh, also, you all will have the opportunity to gain new Personas, not just The Fool.

That'll be nice. I'm guessing there's gonna be some kind of social link thing going on?

Also, I've made some minor edits to Hideki's backstory, just to note. Is it still good? If so, can he get added to the index? :P

Done and done.
 
I want to see if we can start next week or so.

Name:
Isamu Kameda

Age:
19

Height:
6'

Gender:
Male

Backstory:
Isamu had a somewhat normal childhood and very loving adoptive parents. His actual parents were far too young to properly take care of him, so not long after birth he was put up for adoption and almost immediately whisked away by a young lesbian couple. Isamu's parents had raised him to be very tolerant and caring, so when they ended up adopting another child not long after Isamu turned seven, he had taken to his new younger brother almost immediately. His brother was but a a year younger than him, so they were practically best friends, with each looking out for the other always.

When Isamu's brother came out of the closet, it didn't phase him in the slightest. However his brother got brutally harassed in Highschool. Very quickly did Isamu learn to fight; throwing punches at anyone who picked on his brother. Isamu would get in trouble constantly because of this, but his brother would manage to bail him out almost every time. Isamu still did well in school however, because his brother would help him out all the time.

The part most people don't know about is that while his brother bailed him out of almost all kinds of punishment, his luck ended and Isamu got expelled from his highschool. His parents decided to send him to a boarding school instead, thinking maybe he just needed to be independent. It worked for a while, but Isamu wasn't there to back up his younger brother. Isamu was worried about him and would call him upwards of four times a week. (Going to reveal a lot more through social links, to keep it interesting.)

Personality:
Isamu is blunt and extremely harsh, taking a no bullshit approach to anything he does. His cold and rough exterior covers his more gentle and thoughtful self. Isamu genuinely cares for his friends, but he'd never admit it outright. He often takes the position of an older brother in his friend groups, helping with problems even if he wasn't asked.

Arcana:
Moon

Primary weapon:
A Massive Greatsword

Extra:
Isamu loves cooking, and oddly enough: sewing. But very few people know this, outside of his close friend group.

(Gonna be tweaking this as time goes on, just wanted to get the 95% done part here.)

Well, I'm ready to get started!
 
Could I have my character's persona be awakened a little bit into the story as opposed to right away? Or would you rather them have access to that power right away.

They're all going to awaken a bit into it. Unless you meant you don't want to have it awaken with everyone else's at the beginning?

Precisely that. Have him be a little unaware of the whole persona thing until he's absolutely needed.

Also how are we going to be drawing out the personas? With Evokers?

You'll see. I was thinking something like Wands to fit the Arthurian Motif.
 
SO, uh, the other day, my power went out and I lost my progress on the IC.

Please excuse a *bit* of a longer wait than expected.

Uh, again, sorry for abandoning this for two weeks. I'm still alive.

Also, it occurred to me that this RP has a distinct lack of cute girls for a Persona RP.

It's backwards, tons of great guys and only a few girls.
So, this is becoming more and more like a mainline Shin Megami Tensei game.
