Welcome to the OOC thread for the persona roleplay. We'll use this thread to post anything ooc, from questions about how to proceed, to general discussions of various things. Generally, if it's not in-character, it goes HERE.

hey everyone. Question, would you rather have evokers like in 3 or the method used in 4, where they use a persona card?

Why not go the route of 1 and 2, where it just sort of happens, no gimmicks needed?  :-)

We could do that too.  Also, how do we want to handle getting your persona? Any prefferences? I have a plan for awakening the power, but actually obtaining it is different depensing on the game.

Have you ever seen Persona 4 the Anime? I think we should go with that route, mixed in with 1 and 2.

If you havn't, in Persona 4 the Anime, the main characters only summoned there Persona's once while in the TV world, and then the Persona's did all the fighting while they felt it.

Interesting....hmmm. that could make things both easier and more difficult. I really like the idea though.

The evokers did kind of turn me off - they gave onlookers a really strange idea bout the game.

I wouldn't mind a focusing point, though (like a card) because that makes a lot more sense to me than having to send a massive shock through your system.

I'll always be a big fan of the early games though... but if we're only doing 1 persona for each, then it makes sense that a focal point would be needed, since it would likely have been harder to accomplish than in the first games.  :-\

who149

if you havn't watched the Anime I really suggest that you do. It is AMAZING. They pretty much fit all the important details from the game into it, and they smoothen it out a bit.

The fights are awesome to watch, the character interaction is hilarious, and is overall a great anime, even if you haven't played the games.

And yeah, the envokers were a needless add on to make the game look MUCH darker. Like, I couldn't play it in front of my nephew JUST because of that.  I'm so  glad they learned and changed it.

Got my character posted and all, huzzah!

As for the summoning method, I'm fine with the P4-style focal point. I would like to have the characters actually engage in combat rather than just the Personas doing the fighting, maybe just because that's what I'm familiar with from the assorted games.

Mossberg

Probably a card or something would be the best idea, this is the non-adult area after all. Maybe once they go into the game the persona could be their avatar or something.

Or maybe a blend?

Like, in the game they take characteristics of there Persona (clothes, weapons, important features, ect) but retain there looks. Only when they do there much more powerful attacks do they take the form of the full Persona, or the Full Persona is summoned.

Yeah, with the primary form almost being the partial form from DDS2.

Anyway, I'm fine with Who's idea. I want to keep the physical immediacy of combat, since that provides a good early source of tension.

TheHangedOne

I thought the reason Evoker's were shaped like guns, and their was the whole faux-suicide thing, was because you had to force yourself to have a strong, emotional reaction in order to get the Persona to pop out; not just to make it dark.

As far as combat, I like the idea of them staying human, and the Persona only comes out to pull off their Skills.

If I remember correctly, Mitsuru designed the Evokers that way because Aki wanted them to be something militant.

Saikotsu

I don't remember them saying anything about why it was a gun in the games. Maybe in the manga or anime they mentioned it. 

Based on what everyone has said, here's how I intend to run this roleplay:

Evokers are a definite no.   Based on what has been said I think we should have a focus of some kind, but I think I'll leave it up to each character what they want it to be.  Since a persona is another side of a person, I think the focus should be relative to who that person is or the persona they are summoning.

I like what Who mentioned with the appearance thing, however that might be a bit awkward with certain persona's and their users. Thus I've decide that in the gameworld, the characters will have the option to take on traits of their persona appearance wise, but will otherwise be themselves.  I'll admit, it irks me that the students in the video games always run around in their school uniforms when exploring. Aren't they worried their uniforms will be ruined by combat? Plus, their uniforms provide little to no protection against the shadows.

Speaking of combat, we're going to handle it much like the games. I've GM'ed several games before, and what I've discovered is that excessive combat, and/or excessive dice rolling takes over the rp. To alleviate that, I'm going to reduce the number of battles a bit. They'll still be plenty of combat, no worries, but most battles will be fighting normal everyday shadows. For fights like that, I'll leave it up to the players to role-play it. Most of those battles shouldn't be more than two or three posts per player at the most.  However, significant story related battles, such as boss fights, those will be handled by a simple dice system.  We'll worry about crossing that bridge when we get there though.

Other than that,   I plan on setting up the in character thread either tomorrow or Monday. I've got some stuff I want to look up first before we begin. As always, if you have questions or concerns, feel free to bring them up or contact me.

Mostly the evokers were used to inspire raw survival instinct in their users. They were merely a convenient method of summoning a persona without needing to directly put themselves in danger.

Slight delay, sorry. Things came up.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to drop out of this game. My plate is pretty full at the moment and I don't want to make anyone wait forever for replies so I thought it would be best to take myself out of the game before the story really got started.

I hope you all have lots of fun, though!

If one of you would be so kind as to post it in this thread, ill put it with the rest when I get the chance. It's called shin megami tensei persona: reboot (ic).

You are correct, there are three years of high school in Japan. I would guess that graduation age ranges from 17-19. Akihiko is 17/18 in Persona 3/fes.

sounds about right to me.  If I remember correctly, most students learn English in school starting in the sixth grade. However, not all students are going to be well versed in it, and not every student is exposed to it, so you may have some difficulty speaking with certain characters. However, I was planning on having an English Teacher who does not speak Japanese. Japanese schools are known to hire non-native English Speakers to teach English classes on occasion.

Since Ai is your operator, she'll be handling that for you.  How and why she knows English, that will have to be discovered by pursuing her social link.

By the way, the In Character Thread is officially open!  Also, I'd like to explain the typo's and occasional bad grammar.  Most of my posts thus far have been during my breaks and lunch at work, where i post via my phone. It is not designed for long-forum posts. None of the roleplaying sites I visit like to cooperate with it either, so it's not always easy to catch my errors. My computer at home is much more suitable for such tasks, but I don't always have the time to log in and make a post, so please bear with me till my schedule clears up a little.

So each character will have their own social link stats? Is it going to be based by Arcana?
"I killed the whole world, and you can too, if you try hard."
-Lews Therin Telamon

Saikotsu

Essentially, each character can gain social links with one another, and with a few of the NPC's I'll be introducing soon.  Instead of powering up newly created Personae via fusion, I imagine they'd  power up the one you have based on their arcana. Granted, in Persona 3 Portable, with the female protagonists route, Akihiko is of the Emperor arcana, but pursuing his social link levels up your Star Arcana. Likewise, Shinjiro is of the Hierophant Arcana, but pursuing his social link levels up your Moon Arcana. So it's not set in stone. 

When it comes to Player Interactions, I'm going to let you handle it with each other, but you can only level up your social link once per interaction, or if you interact poorly, it might not level up at all.  I may step in if necessary but I doubt I'll need to. Since there wasn't much support for it, we're NOT doing a numerical stats based system. Instead, we'll just roleplay that specific traits of your persona get stronger.  For instance, let's say you level up your magician arcana, your persona will become stronger with magic, or be better able to resist it.

Can we pick our character's Arcana? Also, can it differ from our Persona's? For instance, I see my created Persona as being Chariot, meanwhile, I see Suo himself as being Justice.

Having some minor net issues but I should post soon.
Megumi is a 2nd year too,

Saikotsu

I think we should have each player choose a different arcana yes for their social link stuff. Fool is reserved for the group as a whole. I'll have Ai be priestess, and if no-one objects, shino will be fortune.

Okay, Chiasa and Megumi are are second years. It's good to have a mixed bunch.

I didn't specifically mention apathy syndrome before. I did however mention that elements of both 3 and 4 would be present. How it all fits together, that will be revealed as we go.

No worries Kraken, I fully understand net issues.

By the way, for future refference, Watashi is the feminine version of "I". Boku is the masculine. Women and Bishonen Men are more likely to use "Watashi" to refer to themselves, while Men and Tomboys are more likely to use "Boku" when reffering to themselves.

Hey, since everyone is talking about classes, I figured I'd streamline things a bit for you.

To make things easy, the second years will be in class 2C, with Watanabe sensei. The third years are in class 3B with Koda sensei.

Kaoru Watanabe is generally regarded as the 'normal' teacher of second years. Most second years enjoy her classes, and she's neither too strict nor too stern. Even then, she too has a quirk. Takeshi Koda is a stern teacher, but not without a kind heart. He pushes his students because he wants them to be successful later in life. Like many of the other insructors in persona games, he can be a bit....bizarre.

The names are similar, but while Ekoda had a stick up his a$$, Takeshi is more liked by students and teachers alike. Yes, I'll be playing the teachers whenever we have a morning or afternoon segment to the day, much like the games.

the text message is close enough you won't need to change it. He was going to mention that Madarame goes to your school and that she is the player who won last months tournament in the game. I was planning on having him mention her appearance later on, but I'd rather have it now.

I'm going to post a character soon. I wanted to inquire about using the demon succubus. Is that taken? If not I would like to use that one. I'm very familiar with persona 3 and 4 so I know my way around. You are letting everyone use there own arcana? ..So I can pick a arcana as long as it hasn't been taken. The demon can have a different arcana then my character? Or do they have to be the same. Sorry for all thee questions. I'll read up on everything, I was sick the past few days plus working etc but I'm back and would like to get this finished. x3 thanks alot.

Saikotsu

You can use succubus, its arcana doesnt have to match yours. Your personas arcana doesnt have to be unique but I'd prefer if your characters was unique.

Just so people understand for later, Megumi is fine with groups under 10 but has a crippling fear of crowds. She went to a VERY rural high school with only 6 students over the years so the switch to the city is scaring the heck out of her worse than festival ever did. She's normally quite easygoing but put her in a crowd without music and she's a stammering nervous wreck.

Saikotsu

Agoraphobia eh? Interesting.

I thoughtso, it's something she has to overcome to fight shadows at some point. She's not actually shy, it's just she gets gripped by her fears so she seems so.
There's a reason for it but that's for another time.

Sounds like a social link to me.

I've been trying to think of what my character's Social link is.

I wanted to say that he's a Chariot or Strength, But I think those might have already been taken.

Then I began to look past all the shallow ideals of what I want, and look at his character and what would really fit him. Strength does not fit him in the slightest, but he is closer to Chariot. If that is taken though, The Tower and Death fit him pretty well too.

Been away, now i'm back. Updated based off changes in my life.

It's up to you. I'd guess tower.

Well, it's been pretty dead this last week, but if it picks up again, I'll be looking forward to playing with you Chii. Your character seems cool.  :-) I think her and Suo would get along well.

I didn't mean to ignore the game topic for so long, I'm still interested though I haven't had much time with since a lot of my solo's caught on and work has been piling up . I may post either today or tomorrow. Quick question, Would anyone here be interested in a fairy tail roleplay? I've been craving a fairy tail guild roleplay based on  a new guild trying to establish itself in the wizard world.

I'll post sometime before 7 tonight.

Oh thanks glad you like my character, I'll make a post soon. Speaking of arcana for our characters, I would like mine to be "lovers" arcana. If that isn't availiable i'll have to choose another.

Alright everybody. I may have mentioned it before but I've been under an internet blackout for the past few days, but I'm officially back online now, so I'll be able to ramp up the posting a bit. 

By the way, Rayve13, Ms. Watanabe didn't intentionally ignore Chiasa, though it did come across that way. You're right to think she's a bit scatter brained though.

That too, Megumi is aware of her own shadow to a degree and knows that she has really low self esteem. But yes if a crowd were to appear it would make her crumble into phobia.
