The Phantom Thieves (Persona 5 Game Interest Check! Need Yusuke Taken!)

[Tokyorose627]

Let Us Start The Game

Crime, Corruption, Abuse, Murder; these things happen under the watchful eyes of the top elite, while the weak and defenseless are unable to do a thing to stop it. Life goes on as individuals are beaten, blackmailed, robbed of all their earning and success, and no one seems to want to stop it. However, what if a group decided that enough was enough? The misfortunes and undoings of people's lives was unbearable to watch for so long, and with a new found goal, and an incredible and mysterious power, it's time to change the world for the better.

One heart at a time.

As of now, I've collaborated with some other users, and have decided to have a Mix of Canons and OCs. Looking over the roster, and getting other interested people's opinions, most of the Canons have been cut out of the list to make way for potential OCs that wish to take a spot in the Game.

For now, the Canons that are staying within the Phantom Thieves are as follows:

• Morgana (Taken)
• Yusuke (Needs Player)

Other Canons such as Sae and Goro will be played by other players.

The Protagonist spot has been taken and will be an OC, due to the Protag being somewhat of an OC in game regardless. The rest of the spots will be taken by other players that want to join the game, as well as NPC spots that can be taken for a spot as a Phantom Thief as well. My plan is for the game to not get too overcrowded; if it does, I'll come up with a way for all players to be involved and not left out.

As well, due to Persona 5 having dark themes, the game will contain Mature content. Be forewarned of the issues that will come into the game and what it will entail; if dark themes are not your cup of tea, I suggest not participating.

The game will be heavy on dialogue and interaction, so Intermediate RPers are recommended for the game, and beginner RPers are encouraged to get more experience in other RPs before joining. Grammar and correct spelling are KEY in this game, as well as a minimum of Two Paragraphs. No one liner posts will be accepted.

This will be a Free-form Game.

[pdragon]

potentially interested depending on how OC vs. Cannon heavy the game ends up leaning (I'm always more partial to OCs in any kind of fandom based game)

[Drowdeviant]

*slides in* Interested. :3

[Tokyorose627]

Awesome! Thanks for the interest guys!

Yeah, depending on what people want in regards to characters will tell what we'll do about OCs and Canons. I'd like to have some Canons in the game (if we have to not all have to be in it), but we'll see!

[Wolfy]

interested in playing an oc if they become available.

[Mac84]

Ohhh! I love Persona 5! I binged playing it this past weekend, and loving every moment of it!!! I missed persona too much. :P

if I can find the space, I would probably play someone with the Persona of Hell Biker.

...Fan of Ghost Rider I presume? x3

Hmm I'm honestly puzzled what persona to have my character have. xD

That, but I also work in a motorcycle shop.

[Tokyorose627]

Yeah it all depends on what we want game wise regarding characters; do we want Canons or all OCs? Or maybe a mix could be fun?

I personally would like a few of the Canons, simply because they are so much fun and I couldn't see the game without them. ;(

Well if we're staying completely true to 5's plot then we at least would need Makoto to be present since she's kind of pivotal to the events of one to two palaces ...Also Futaba possibly for obvious reasons. xD

[Mac84]

Oh yes!

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

I just unlocked her as a Phantom Thief last night. Heh-heh-heh. Can we say Waifu Material?

Though I like Miss Kawakami, and Tae Takemi a lot.

[Drowdeviant]

Oh yes!

xD Waifu material for you maybe but I'm still a Haru, Ann and Sae man myself (Sae especially because she seems kind of like a interesting blend of Makoto and Margaret from 4 :3). Tae though is an interesting little lady I will admit. x3

Though I'm sure we can all agree that Morgana is best animal mascot the series has had so far...especially cause he can turn into a fucking car(not a self driving one, but at least that's more useful than Teddy brought to the table!) :D

[Tokyorose627]

If I had to choose a canon that I would like to keep, it would be Yusuke for me. His story was so interesting and he's just such a strange but interesting person with a way of thinking not seen usually. He hooked me in as soon as I met him in game. X3

Yusuke is an interesting bean. So eccentric but yet so complex at the same time...also that boy can't flirt with women to save his life! X3

Makoto admittedly could easily be replaced, at least for where she's intially made a more significant part of the plot. Though she is crucial at one place if we're keeping to the events of 5's plot. xD

Yeah he's not so great at which I think is hilarious. lol

If i could ever be a Fem Protag I would try to romance him. :3

Hmm...If we're not having Makoto then can my guy possibly replace her as Sae's sibling? She is a pretty significant character to the plot after all and we would still need someone close to her who challenges her views on the Phantom Thieves. I'm kinda feeling playing someone who essentially would be the proposed spawn of Kanji and Naoto in both personality and possibly looks. ;3

Well first we need enough interest for the game

After, we would need to discuss how the game will go Canon and OC wise. After that I can make those decisions.

I know. Just getting ideas is all. :3

...Also I might have just realized what my aforementioned character concept could entail. I see yarn dolls and police batons in the Thieves' future is all I will say at the moment. ;)

[Mac84]

xD Waifu material for you maybe but I'm still a Haru, Ann and Sae man myself (Sae especially because she seems kind of like a interesting blend of Makoto and Margaret from 4 :3). Tae though is an interesting little lady I will admit. x3

I've not met Haru, though Sae is visually Pleasing to the eye, her personality (At leasts as far as I've experienced leaves a LOT to be desired).

As far as Animal Mascots, Clearly Morgana is the best, but that is not saying much since we only really had Teddy before. The dog in P3 I'm not really counting as a mascot cause he comes in so very late in the game, and there is really little actual development with him other than a way to meet up with girls at night.

Yeah he's not so great at which I think is hilarious. lol

Give it time. When they release the Special Edition of P5 later either on Vita, or PS4/5. I'm sure they'll have a Female Protagionist you can play just like P3 for the PSP (which I have along with P3 for PS2)

Yeah, I think you would really need a mix of the two in order to make it a P5 game instead of a simple Fandom Persona Game.

[Tokyorose627]

Maybe for fem Protag, but I kinda doubt it'll happen tbh.

In my opinion for canons that should be kept, Sae is one of them, and maybe Ann. I feel like Yusuke should be one that should be kept as well, simply because Madarame was the Phantom Thieves first "big" target to get them recognition and to be believed in.

Unfortunately I haven't beaten the game yet so I don't know about Futaba or Haru yet, but I feel like Futaba would be another as well.

I would have to Agree that Sae would be pivotal to keep in the game cause she is a reoccurring Character through out. Yusuke as well cause His transformation was also a pivotal point in the game's story.

I can't comment on either Haru, nor Futaba as I've not encountered them yet.

I'm not so sure about Ann. I think she could be replaceable with another "Pretty girl", but I've not delved too much into her character Social Link yet.

The only thing I didn't like about Margret from P4 was how you progressed her Social link by presenting her with Special Persona. It wasn't nearly as engaging as It was progressing Cathrine's Social Link from P3 FES. I'm saddened that they carried that over to P5 too with the Twin Wardens.

[Drowdeviant]

I've not met Haru, though Sae is visually Pleasing to the eye, her personality (At leasts as far as I've experienced leaves a LOT to be desired).

Oh there is more to her than you've likely seen so far...She didn't start her adult life as the conniving hard ass she is today is all I can say without giving away spoilers. ;)

As far as Animal Mascots, Clearly Morgana is the best, but that is not saying much since we only really had Teddy before. The dog in P3 I'm not really counting as a mascot cause he comes in so very late in the game.

Very true you are, also Morgana is way more complex a character than Teddy. xD

I'm not so sure about Ann. I think she could be replaceable with another "Pretty girl", but I've not delved too much into her character Social Link yet.

Ann also is an interesting little chestnut...though her social link is where her character gets more complex. I am still rolling on the floor that they choose to give her Carmen as her starting persona. Like I get why the pro tag got Arsene and Ryuji got Captain Kid. But seriously Ann gets the manipulative gypsy witch? I'm just seeing it as a personality mismatch is all (I would've pegged her for Aphrodite, Medusa or Athena). xD

I look forward to seeing more of Sae.

I'm genuinely curious about Morgana's Origins. I hope they don't make him(?) (Yes, I'm leaving the Question mark there as I suspicious that Morgana is actually a Girl) another Shadow like Teddy was.

*pats you on the head* Indeed. :3

Morgana is a boy despite his name Mac. Origins though I'm not saying anything about cause that would be spoilers. ;)

[Tokyorose627]

I guess for the time being then,I'll make a list of Canons that will potentially be kept. The only issue would be finding people that are willing to take and play such Canon characters.

I'll start right now.

*Raises hand for Morgana if he is being kept, leaving Sae for the ladies since he will be possibly playing her little bro*

Everybody get aboard the cat bus, cause this one isn't gonna be having any brakes! >:3

[Silk]

I'm interested in joining if you still have places. I'll probs go with a OC though since I'm still working through the game. :)

[Tokyorose627]

Alright, here's the list of Canons, so far, that I believe would be fine to stay in the Game.



Kept Canons:

• Morgana
• Protagonist (OC Spot)
• Yusuke
• Sae
• Akechi Goro

Scrapped Canons:

• Ann
  
• Makoto
  
  • Haru
    
  
  Canons Undecided:
  
  
  
  
  • Ryuji
  • Futaba

[Drowdeviant]

...We can also chuck Ryuji in my honest opinion, mainly cause to me he only fills the screwball role and doesn't add too much to the story as a whole aside from being the first member of the Phantom Thieves' after the protagonist and Morganna. He's just very easy to replace in my mind. :P

Futaba is more of a tough decision cause she kind of goes full Fuuka/Rise and becomes the Thieves' navigator and support person once she gets her Persona. She's only needed if none of us plan to have a more passive role when in a palace (aka they more or less let everyone else do all the fighting, looting and sneaking).

Well then, Futaba should be kept in the Game then, unless someone wants to take that role in the future?

[Drowdeviant]

Well maybe someone could take it on. Just cause they're our walking encyclopedia and compass doesn't mean they can't be a combatant (we could make it more of their secondary role, meaning they could just analyze our foes in the midst of combat). Hell we could split the navigator and info buff roles into two separate roles and they could individually be taken on by two separate characters...After all we're making our own persona story with blackjack and hookers! Who says we can't do it?! >:3

Also I might be taking fucking Vulcanus as my guy's initial Persona...aka Roman Hephaestus! Both the god of fire, smithing and volcanoes! Look upon him and tremble! (also yes he's shooting flames out of his shoulder spikes) Plus his ultimate gets to be Apollo aka nuclear flame god! x3

Vulcanus >:3                                             Apollo >:)


Also the sun arcana also happens to fit my thoughts for his character oddly enough...He'll be fun to finally see break. Such a tender optimistic bean...too pure for this world, too good. xD

[Tokyorose627]

Yeah that s true, though I don't want the game to have too many people; too many people would be a bit hard to handle, IMO.

But at least you're dedicated and heavily invested in the RP; that's a good sign! I would start making it, but there's still the issue of having enough interest, as well needing people to take Canon Characters, and the issue of seeing who will take what Arcana/Role of Canons, OC wise.

there's just some stuff that sill needs some figuring out is all. :P

Well if we throw out Ryuji and Futaba too then we presently only have 3 out of 8 canon Phantom thieves (Protag, Morgana and Yusuke). With me and Mac's characters we would be sitting at 5 Phantom Thieves and 3 players.

Very true on all accounts. :P

Yeah, but the others that have shown interest haven't even said anything about their characters and what they wanted to add into it; until I make anything, I need people that are willing to take Canons to PM me ad give me a small excerpt so that issue is out of the way. Until that happens, the game won't be able to made, or start.

That is understandable. To be honest outside the Initial Persona being The Hell Rider, I'm not exactly sure how to set up my Character. I know that the Hell Rider is the Hang Man Arcana (I think)

[Silk]

If I knew more about the characters I might've been OK doing a cannon character, problem is since i have barely scratched the game. (Still working through the first palace) But since I don't I don't feel I could do any of the cannon characters justice, except for maybe the MC but even then would've preferred it to be a FeMC.

Well from what I understand Hell Biker's lore is basically this: A motorcyclist whose violent nature turned him into a demon. His anger at himself and the world causes him to lash out, so that everyone else will suffer as well.

Also His name in Japanese versions is based off of the Hell's Angels apparently (pulling this off the wiki mind you).

Main question is what kind of dude is your character at his core to develop such an unruly and violent Persona(though it does fit the whole rebellion theme that is prevalent throughout 5 :3)?

If that is the case, then I would say something similar to Takamaki's origins.

Perhaps an Orphan that was adopted by a japanese couple while they were working on Visa in the US. When their Visa expired they returned to Japan bringing their son with them. The Change wasn't easy for him as he was clearly not Japanese, but had a japanese name. So he was an outcast cause of both his looks, and accused of trying to play at being Japanese. Making him feel Isolated in his world. He tries not to resent his Parents for dragging him to Japan as they did adopt him, and show him all the love and affection he could ask for. Yet, he can't help the anger and rage at constantly being treated like an outcast or scum simply cause he was a "Gaijin". I can imagine his parents taking heat for adopting an American, and not a japanese child too. Only fueling his anger.

That is an initial Fleshing

More Fleshing! XD

Name: Takeshi Takeda (Working name for now) (Aka: Will)

Age: 17

Race: White

Nationality: Japanese

Arcana: Hanged Man

Persona: Hell Biker

Melee Weapon: Bastard Sword

Ranged Weapon: Coach gun

Description: Takeshi is tall at 5'11" (180cm) with reddish brown hair, and green eyes. His skin has a spattering of freckles. He is lean with a slight muscular build. Oil, and Grease stained hands.

Personality: Takeshi "Will" is a reserved person, can come off as brooding at times. Yet, for those that earn his friendship he is fiercely loyal, and always willing to help or lend an ear. 

Background: Takeshi Takeda was born as William Fitzgerald. However at the age of 3 were killed in a automobile accident (How cliche :P). With no family willing to take him in he was put into the Social Care program where he would stay until he was six years old when he was finally adopted by a Japanese Couple on an extended work visa. Saburo, and Shinobu Takeda would take the young boy in, and raise him as their own with all the love they could. At 10 years old, due to deteroriating Family issues back in Japan, Will (Now official name of Takeshi) and his family moved back to Japan to be closer to family.

Though the cost would be the young man's happiness as the moment he enrolled into school, he had a serious eye opener to just how out of place he truly is. The first day of school, he was laughed at by the entire class when he introduced himself as Takashi Takeda. That was the start of his downward spiral into being a social outcast.

His fortunes did not improve when he was accepted into Shujin Academy. By then, Takeshi was far more reserved, and rarely participated in class. The only thing that really makes him happy nowadays is the beat up motorcycle he bought from a year's worth of multiple Part time jobs. His goal to get it road worthy and hopefully take a pretty girl for a ride.

Ons: Older women, Traps (Though he'll never admit it), Being seduced/Teased, light bondage, Light Femdom. Touching.

Offs: Arrogant/Bitchy women, humiliation, (Will add more depending)

I like it. Kind of Kanji like but also some Ann in there. :3

Now for my guy I think given his family he's gonna be the mix of Naoto and Kanji I initially thought of. Likely was a very mellow and sunny child when he was younger and very much looked up to Big sis Sae as his hero. This of course all changed when dear old dad kicked the bucket and he was deprived a good male role model (to those who are fans of Warehouse 13 I was thinking he might have had a Pete Latimar-esque vibe the morning before daddy was gunned down and didn't share it with him, no doubt making him feel a great deal of guilt that would fester for years to come). Now Sae being Sae at that point surely kept him on a bit of a short leash both in his studies and his social life (after all they couldn't tarnish the family's good reputation). What little time he had to himself likely led him to pick up a feminine hobby like knitting and or gardening to cope with the stress and emotional burden he had to shoulder as a member of the Niijima family, something Sae likely didn't pay too much thought as long as he continued to be a good student (leaving him a bit socially awkward and likely with a bit of an anxiety disorder). He has probably come to secretly resent what his sister has come since their father's death, especially seeing her become the corrupt prosecutor she is now who cares more about getting a conviction than about punishing the truly guilty. He'll probably be a bit snippy and prone to flying off the handle when he first interacts with the other thieves, especially if someone gets a little too curious about his home life. However once he feels safe with the others and trusts they won't judge him for his hobbies we'll likely see him mellow out again and become more of a mother hen. He and Sae will likely be getting in quite a few arguments once he joins up with the Phantom Thieves.

Though once things at home hopefully simmer down I could see them becoming more loving and affectionate like they use to be (Maybe Protag notices some of little bro's handiwork in something Sae has on her during his/her interrogation). Sae can still be good ole' Sae away from home mind you, I'm just saying that there's no reason we can't make what canons we're keeping a little more complex. I for one am all for a Sae who is at least a little more of a snarky, informal dork at home than when she's having to fight for her life in the dog-eat-dog shit storm of a work environment that is 5's corrupt as all hell portrayal of Japan's justice system.

[Tokyorose627]

These are great ideas guys, but please try to not get your hopes up. We still need people to take Canons, and if we can't things will be slow for a while. :/

Ideas about your characters are great, but don't show all of your cards until the game is set in stone.

I don't want people to be disappointed if the game doesn't end up happening. D:

[Silk]

While they don't appear to be direct cannons, the ideas seem to be relatively interchangeable with some of the roles, sure we'll probably still need some cannons to make it work though.

I know Rose. I just like having the opportunity to channel my creative energies into something at the moment (my RPs are currently kind of dead at the moment and it's causing me to be a bit bored). Even if the game doesn't happen I'm just happy to be able to bounce around ideas. :3

Silk feel free to share any ideas you have for your own OC. Don't let my sudden dumping of pent up creative energy intimidate you. ;)

[Mac84]

I've added more to my potential Character! XD

No prob! If any of you know others that would be interested, feel free to recommend the Game. The more people we find to take Canons, the better! :)

Fools! You shall all tremble before the might of 4GE and his Persona Vulcanus! (Also to those wondering my guy's code name is actually Forge, in reference to his hobbies and Vulcanus's moniker as the god of blacksmiths. I just decided to be a smartass). >:)

Interesting code name I guess? A bit out of the ordinary, but all of them are in a sense.

I think my characters is either gonna be "Princess" or maybe "Lady"; it ties to her character so I won't spoil. :P

Well after some research I'm willing to go with Pyro or Crane (Cranes are Hephaestus's sacred bird apparently :3). That or something of going along with a hound theme cause one of the big H's temples has sacred guard dogs (Who tear apart criminals and chase off the debaucherous). Given his background It wouldn't be hard for Pyro or some canine moniker to work for him I feel. Crane could work too mind you. :3

I might go with Crane actually, just found an amazing design for what his mask could look like. Makes him look like a fucking masked wrestler. That or I could go with Pyro and make him have a gas mask. Hell screw it he's having a gas mask, viva la Pyro! x3

Well after some research I'm willing to go with Pyro or Crane (Cranes are Hephaestus's sacred bird apparently :3).

Gas mask seems kinda creepy, but it could be good if it's for your character in regards to what they're like.

[Silk]

Well let me know if OC spots are open later. I don't wanna force up another spot if you really need people to play Canon. :)

...Creepier than Ryuji's skull mask and Makoto's iron maiden-esque mask? 0-0

Well let me know if OC spots are open later. I don't wanna force up another spot if you really need people to play Canon. :)

0-0 Silk I believe there are a lot of OC spots still open. We've basically trashed most of the Phantom of Thieves except for Morganna, Yosuke and the Protagonist. Even with Mac, Rose and I's characters we're at still two members short, and especially are short on female members. :P

[Silk]

I know, its just if you guys are hurting for canon I don't wanna muddy the water further. xD

[Drowdeviant]

We have equal canon thieves to non canon thieves at the moment Silk. Rose I think might just be looking to see if anyone wants to pull double duty and play a canon and their OC. :3

To my knowledge I think the following canons have been taken on:

Protagonist
Yusuke
Morgana (I'll do it if we need it and no else wants to play him)

Well the Protag is actually an OC, because they are OC in beginning; you play as them and shape them the way you want. There was someone on the first interest check that I made that said they wanted to be Protag, so that's covered.

As well Drow, that reminds me that if you want your OC to take over Makoto's role and be related to Sae, you will also have to play Sae. It wouldn't work well if someone else was playing her, simply because they would have to know how your characters acts and feels, and if they don't reply back to you in a while, you'll be waiting, and it could hurt the game.

[Gilgameshian]

Ah, I should make my entry formal here then. Sorry all, and sorry Tokyo, I've been busy but I do plan on playing the Protagonist if Tokyo is willing to let me. I'll use the default name for him (Akira Kurusu according to the wiki) so that we have our Joker.

I'll get more of an idea together and put it up here tomorrow most likely.

Oh, hey Gil! Finally! I was just talking about you actually! :D

Yeah, since you were the first person to come onto my first interest check and express interest in being the Protag, I promised to ask you first before others wanted the position. It was only fair, and yes, I'm cool with you being the Protag. Male or Female, it doesn't matter since they are your OC. :D

Edit: Oh, and about the Profiles, if people are making them, keep them to yourselves for now until I make a Character sheet for everyone to follow. There are still a few things we need to figure out, such as needing a person to take Yusuke, as well as figuring out what Arcanas are going to go to whom considering some of the Canons have been scrapped for now.

All in good time everyone.

True but the Protag is almost kind of a hybrid of canon and OC technically. Every protag has allowed you to play them how you wanted to, but at the end of the day they still did what they needed to do to save the world.

*sits up* I could potentially do that Rose...As long as you guys don't mind me changing her personality to some degree. Basically I'd just be looking to soften her so she isn't as rough around the edges as the game has her be. Basically less of a hard assed authority figure and more a woman who has been corrupted by the harsh realities and the corruption in 5's depiction of Japan's justice system...That and other things I would not be revealing right off the bat. Oh what a fun time it would to be playing both the Niijima siblings. I'm not changing her that significantly mind you, mainly just looking to give her a more depth than the game did. :3

that's fine with me as long as you don't completely change her character. She still has to be a hard-ass sometimes and be strict, but some soft moments are fine as well. Try not to overthrow the character with niceness though; don't want to change the Canon character too much.

[Drowdeviant]

Oh no she'll still be the strict ass momma bear she is to Mokoto for the most part. Mainly I'm just looking for her to make it so she doesn't have to come off as someone who will jump down your throat for being not exactly who she likes to socialize with...that and she might act somewhat differently when off the clock. Trust me the friendship between Mac's character and mine will likely be largely tolerated by her as long as a certain someone doesn't think to believe she can't and won't throw his ass in Juvie and throw away the key if something bad happens to her baby brother. I'm just looking to make how she conducts herself in her non-professional life seem a bit more reasonable and allow people to feel a little more sympathy for her. Remember she has basically has had to basically become like a single mother raising what has largely been a kid with a largely non-existent social life up until now. >:3

Mind you as we go along in the story She might let her guard down to some degree and maybe look to learn more about who her brother's new friends are. Kind of think how Dojima developed during 4, still largely the hard ass authority figure he was before but also being able to trust that his nephew was mature enough to make smart decisions and not to fall in with a bad crowd.

Bleegh! I apologize for that bit of rambling. In short, Sae will still be Sae at her core. I'm just looking to make her seem like more of human being who given proper motivation is capable of seeing the good in people rather staying than the emotionally cold and short fused as well as mostly static antagonist she was protrayed as throughout 5's storyline...plus who says she can't be snarky and a little mischievous if she's in the right mood? ;)

lol I got it; you're good.

[Drowdeviant]

lol I got it; you're good.

Also don't worry I plan on ensuring we all get our required visits from the feels knife and have it twisted in our little hearts. The Niijima siblings after all still have their little shouting matches for the story to be truly complete...well maybe not quite as much since Sae hopefully will come to realize that her baby bro is still a sensitive little bean deep down despite how much he grows and matures. >:)

That is very understandable. :D Don't want to put ones eggs in the same basket. :p Though I also think that if people that are on the fence about joining see others getting invested enough to actually draw up a Provisional (It can always be modified later once an official CS is put up), it may stir their creative juices and get them even more interested. :D

I really liked Dojima's Character in 4. He really matures, and grows through his social link from a man that could not let the death of his wife go to a Man realizing he has been possessed by his past mistakes and in doing so making even more mistakes with his daughter Nanako.

Though i think it is funny that he felt threatened that Nanako Liked the Protag so much at the end. :P

I know that MC would ride a beat up Honda GL1100 with Duct tape holding the seat together, but this would be the bike the others would see him drooling over whenever they pass by a dealership.

True, but at the same time, i don't want too many people joining and then not having enough room to have people come in, and then the game getting halted because I need to figure out where people go. I will have to look over how many people join the game and make a select number of spots, because it will be hard if a huge number of people come in.

Exactly Mac. That's kinda how I'm tweaking how Sae is gonna be portrayed. :3

...Mac why must you give me more ways for my guy to troll your's?! x3

...Mind you my guy is likely gonna have a bicycle or something (maybe with a motor for when he feels lazy). :3

Also yes. He'll likely also wear a kind of long scarf as part of his personal style. One of his own handiwork of course :3

I'm willing to drop Morgana if someone else wants him actually Rose. It wouldn't be fair of me to be hogging more than one canon after all. :P

Just updated the Interest Check to give info on what we've discussed already: Oc spots, Protag spot being taken, Needing a Player to take Yusuke, and the possibility of more players coming into the game and finding spots for everyone to be involved.

Also edited expectations for the games, such as RP experience and Grammar expectations, as well as a minimum for posts.

[Tokyorose627]

Still looking for someone to play Yusuke! If anyone is interested please PM me!

[Batman4560]

I just picked up this game to play on Ps3 I loved p4 and would really like to do a persona game here. Let me get situated with the lore of P5 and mark me as interested here please?

Sorry, dropping interest for this, had my feathers ruffled a little too much.
