I have this idea I'd like to try out that I think would be a whole lot of fun, but I need to gauge whether or not there's an audience for this type of project so here we are. Basically the idea I have in mind if you can't tell by reading the header or if you are unfamiliar with the mega-ten universe,  is an ero-based departure of the critically acclaimed jrpg series, Persona.

To sum up the persona series for those of you who are less than familiar with the subject, it's a sort of dungeon crawling  "who-dun-it" mystery game based on a group of high school students, usually Japanese in origin but sometimes other who are granted supernatural abilities via harnessing mythological domain figures "their personas". There's some underlying repressed psycho-drama going on with people facing their "true self" but for the most part,  it's typical shounen fair.

There's a bit of dating simulator aspects thrown in and some Pokemon game play mechanics for good measure. It's one of the most anticipated jrpg releases out, some would say arguably  more-so than final fantasy these days. There's also a pretty decent fighting game spin off called Persona: Arena if you haven't all ready played that. If you're a fan of 2d fighters, you should probably give it a try.

Though, I'd like to take this game in a somewhat different direction if possible, meaning everything should reflect a sexualized bent.

Something like this guy

Or this woman...

This game is pretty much a not-so serious ero-fan service take on the persona series, i.e. pornsona.  The Arcana system would make a return as well as social links, I'm think there should be stats, though it probably won't make a big difference in terms of gameplay,  the evoker system I'm undecided on, but I think summoning the persona should be done in a kinda quirky sort of sexualized cartoony way. Does this sort of thing interest anyone?

Arcana


Arcana

Priestess
Portrayed as an old woman with a closed book, the Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and magic when it appears in tarot readings. The Personae of the Priestess Arcana are commonly Personae associated with healing and support attributes.

Magician
The Magician Arcana is commonly associated with action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power (more specifically, the power to harness one's talents.) The Personae of the Magician Arcana are commonly Personae excelling towards Magic, particularly towards Fire-based element.

Hierophant
The Hierophant is a symbol of education, authority, conservatism, obedience to rules and relationship with the divine. The definition of a "hierophant" is a person who interprets sacred mysteries or esoteric principles, and the term was originally used to name ancient Greek priests who did so. The Personae of the Hierophant Arcana have no weaknesses, but no particular strengths as well.


Emperor
In tarot readings, the Emperor symbolizes the desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable. The Personae of the Emperor Arcana are Personae typically excelling in lightning-based and physical attacks.

Empress
In tarot readings, the Empress represents prosperity, creativity, sexuality, abundance, fertility and comfort (most often in helping maintain peace around them like an ideal mother would.) The Personae of the Empress Arcana are Personae excelling in Ice-based attacks with healing powers also relatively common.

Hermit
Portrayed as an old man in a dark place or cave, holding up a lantern, the Hermit is associated with wisdom, introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches. The Personae of the Hermit Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in Mental-Ailment skills.


Justice
Portrayed as a woman holding a sword and balance, the Justice Arcana symbolizes a strict allegory of justice, objectivity, rationality and analysis. The Personae of the Justice Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in Light-based affinities.


Chariot
Portrayed as a king leading a chariot made up of two differently colored horses (in some cases mythical creatures). The Chariot Arcana is a symbol of victory, conquest, self-assertion, control, war and command. The Personae of the Chariot Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in Physical-based attacks.

Lovers
In tarot readings, the Lovers Arcana initially represented two paths life could lead to, and thus a symbol of standing at a crossroad and needing to make a decision. Today, however, it is portrayed more of a symbol of love and romantic relationships, although it can also be a symbol of finding agreement with an ordinary friend or even two conflicting elements within. The Personae of the Lovers Arcana are commonly associated with Support-Healing attributes.


Temperance
Portrayed as a woman with angel wings mixing up the water of two cups, one blue, the other red, the Temperance Arcana is a symbol of synthesis, prudence, harmony, and the merging of opposites. The Personae of the Temperance Arcana are often well-rounded Personae.

Death
While it is associated with foreboding of doom, Death Arcana also symbolizes the metamorphosis and deep change, regeneration and cycles. The Personae of the Death Arcana are commonly associated with and excel in Dark-based affinities, but weak towards Light-based affinities.

Hangedman
Portrayed as a man hanging up-side-down from one leg, with his other leg crosses it forming a '4'; the Hangedman Arcana is associated with self-sacrifice for the sake of enlightenment, and the bindings that makes one free, paradoxes and hanging between heaven and earth. The Persona of the Hangedman Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in survivability.

Strength
Portrayed as a young woman holding up a terrifying beast (more often a lion), the Strength Arcana symbolizes an imagery beyond the Beast And Beauty, and is associated with the morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force. In tarot readings, it can also represent creative or physical energy that needs to be or is about to be unleashed, sometimes out of desire to be recognized. The Personae of the Strength Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in Physical attributes.

Fortune
Portrayed as a wheel with different animals wearing wealthy and beggarly clothes up and down the wheel, the Fortune Arcana symbolizes of fate and varying luck, fortunes and opportunities. What goes up will go down, what goes down will go up. The Personae of the Fortune Arcana is associated myth-figures related to Fate and Time, notable with the Norn Sisters, and has personae of the wind element.

Devil
Portrayed as a hermaphrodite devil over two naked and chained figures, the Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things and be slave to ones' own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation. The Personae of the Devil Arcana are commonly Persona excelling in dark-based affinities.

Tower
Portrayed as a tower stricken by lightning, from which two small figures fall down; a straight Tower of Babel allegory about pride preceding the fall. The Tower Arcana is commonly associated to overly arrogant, prejudiced and authoritarian organization, which walk to their own ironic demise. Furthermore, it is also more generically used as an omen of doom and disaster. The Personae of the Tower Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in physical-based attacks and attributes.

Star
The Star Arcana is also commonly associated hope, self-confidence, faith, altruism, luck, generosity, peace and joy. The Personae of the Star Arcana commonly excels in fire-element, but vulnerable towards ice-based attacks.

Moon
Portrayed as two dogs howling at the Moon, around a pool with a crab in it, with two towers in the background, the Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery. In tarot readings, it can also represent being attuned subconsciously to the world around, gaining the ability to sense things without being told about them or without anyone else knowing (which means that some identify this Arcana with psychic energy.) The Personae of the Moon Arcana tend to align towards Physical Skills, while having average Magic stats.

Sun
Portrayed as two children holding hands under a blazing sun, The Sun symbolizes happiness, joy, energy, optimism, and accomplishment. Occasionally, it is also associated with one's initial happiness. The Personae of the Sun Arcana are commonly Personae excelling in Light and Fire-based attacks.




***Update***

I'm thinking that Hibiya High School will be the school I'll use for this game. It's in the heart of tokyo and within the same district as Japan's house of representative office building. It's sort of like Japan's Washington D.C. I'm thinking that politics will play an important role in the overall story, sort of like how law enforcement was central to the core plot of p4. 

QuoteTokyo Metropolitan Hibiya High School (東京都立日比谷高等学校 Tōkyō Toritsu Hibiya Kōtōgakkō?) is a Japanese high school founded in 1878 as the Tokyo First Middle School or Tokyo First Junior High School (東京府立第一中学校 Tōkyō Furitsu Daiichi Chūgakkō?). It was well known in the 1950s and 1960s for the large proportion of graduates who gained admission to the prestigious University of Tokyo; though it suffered a decline in the 1970s, as of 2005 it was once again being referred to as the "best public high school in Japan".[2][3]

Heh, Mara. ;D

As for the game itself, I've got some interest in the idea. ^^ I even know of a system that might work pretty well for a Persona game, if anyone wanted to run a Persona tabletop game.

Also, the fighting game spin-off is called Persona 4 Arena.  Persona 4 Golden is just an expanded rerelease of regular Persona 4. ^^;

It's good to hear this topic is being received well by someone. Now that you mention...Arena is the name of the fighting game and golden is the re-release.  Thanks for the correction. Admittedly I'm not too familiar with tabletop or any other system for that matter but I'm always open to learning.

Kunoichi

Well, the system I had in mind is called Monsters and Other Childish Things.  Character creation in that system involves creating two different characters, one of them an ordinary person, and the other a scary, superpowered monster of some sort, and players play as both of these characters simultaneously.  On top of that, the monster character can actually draw power from the human character's relationships while in combat or doing anything else that requires a dice roll, so the whole thing could work for running a Persona game with very little alteration needed.

It would probably be better to stick to freeform if you're unfamiliar with system games, though. ^^;

Cool to see someone doing this. I would've joined in, but Shin Megami Tensei + parody isn't my cup of tea. SMT is SERIOUS BUSINESS! . . . That being said, if you need a hand with fluff or anything, give me a jingle. Evangel can get ahold of me off the site, and I can lend a hand with anything involving fluff/Persona source material. :x

P4A is a pretty big exception, and also note the surprising amount of DEAD in it. >.>

Just noting that a more humorous take on Persona can, in fact, work.

I was amused by the guns in P3... maybe an all girl team with dildos in PP(Persona Parody)
I'd want to play either Priestess or Lovers.
But just out of curiosity would it be freeform or are you actually doing a system I had tried to write a system about two years ago (based on P4 and what numbers I saw), but lost track of it when no one from RPoL cared/seemed to want to have any imput.

Silk

Admittedly I'm interested in the persona, not so much the overt sexual bent, will put down interest for the time being though.

Empyrean

Certainly an interesting take on Persona. I'll express interest, but due to computer troubles I can't make very long posts at the moment.

Awesome. Since this is a sexual parody I'm wondering if the child of a massage parlor owner would be about right for a character?

I don't have any problem with that if that's the direction you intend to go for.
