Persona Roleplay (OOC)

[Saikotsu]

Thanks. By the way, I've managed to post the in character thread during my breaks today. I'd provide a link, but my phone is terrible at that. 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). For now I'd like everyone to stay in the early morning phase of the day.

[Saikotsu]

Thanks

[Mossberg]

No problem. Always willing to lend a helping hand. I'll probably post later so I can get the mood of what's going on.

[TheHangedOne]

I'll try to have a post up before tomorrow.

[Saikotsu]

No rush. I wont be able to reply tonight anyway

[Saikotsu]

By the way, what year is everyone. yoshino is a third year, and Ai is a second year.

[Mossberg]

Aren't there three years? Also what is the typical graduating age?

[Saikotsu]

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.

[Mossberg]

So with Kylar being 17 would second year sound about right?

He isn't going to have any problems not knowing Japanese is he?

My dude is third year.

[Chiidori]

I'm Chii, . interested in joining, How is the recruiting going? Can I just create a character? Thanks. xD.

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.

Recruitment has been going well. As it so happens, one of our players just dropped out, so we've got an open spot.  Here are the relevant threads:

In character: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=147242.0
OOC: you are here
Character Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=146417.0
Interest check: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=145715.0

I'd suggest reading through all that has been posted in the OOC and Interest check threads, they'll give you a good feel of how the game will be run. 

[Mossberg]

Alright. Let's hope that game has an auto-translator lol.

[Saikotsu]

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. 

[Mossberg]

So each character will have their own social link stats? Is it going to be based by Arcana?

[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.

[Mossberg]

Okay. That all sounds cool.

[Chiidori]

Alright thank you. :) I'll do that.

[TheHangedOne]

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.

[Rayve13]

Thought I replied earlier, but somehow failed to. Chiasa is a second year.

[TheHangedOne]

Wait, their are people suffering from Apathy Syndrome?  I think I missed that memo.

[krakenknight]

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.

[krakenknight]

Thanks.
Well Megumi just gave Chiasa another thing to bitch about :) and don't worry this is not a regular occurence.
Megumi just has people issues at the start.
