persona rp ATTN RP Section: Persona RP & Gauging Interest

[MRDRHAWK]

wao much Poly such thread so LAME

Anyways, with the apparent recent influx of new RPs (and new RPers) to SF, and the (relative) success of Fate/endeavour so far aka nobody's had to have been killed off yet I feel like it's time to address something that was attempted before but never really got off the ground.

Namely, a Persona-style RP.

Basic knowledge of Persona is recommended (at the very least, 3 or 4), but not necessarily required to sign up; if you need a brief rundown, I can provide one to you upon request. I don't think everyone in the RP section needs one, so I'll just send you one if you need it.

[spoiler=Juuuuuuuuuuuuust in case, super high school level rundown]

Japanese high school students facing their own problems in the form of exaggerated doppelgangers of themselves (4 and on multiple occasions in 2), then fighting eldritch-style monsters by summoning deities from their heads. Guns to the temple optional. Weapons recommended. Everything has a tarot motif, and loads of Jungian psychology is involved (at least in 4). Usually some big bad evil deity that you can't actually summon is involved, as is an Earthly avatar who carries things out in their name, unwittingly or otherwise.

Also waifus. Lots of waifus. Yukiko worst girl.

So, there you go, if you reeeeeeeeeeeeally need more detail, I can send you a more detailed version of the rundown.

If I can get the interest for it, I'll set up a full-out signup thread going more into detail about the setting, basic plotline, as well as hopefully formulating a team of Persona-users.

Setting the ground rule now, though: For the love of god, don't be throwing around Japanese honorifics left and right. I mean, the occasional one is okay if you know how to work it into your posts without sounding annoying, but please try and avoid it if at all possible. Find a more... er, English substitute, just for convenience's sake..

If you could post the following, it'd be greatly appreciated:

[spoiler=This convo should maybe help give a better idea?]

[10:45:45 AM] Duggers: so pooly

[10:45:56 AM] Duggers: how are you gonna go about people and their personae

[10:47:02 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: same manner as you did the Fate RP

[10:47:17 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: take applications, determine main team, make personae after

[10:47:27 AM] Duggers: meant like

[10:47:34 AM] Duggers: are you going to use existing personae from the series

[10:47:53 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: oh

[10:48:30 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: eh, if they aren't a "main" persona (like, of one of the playable characters aside from the wild card) then I'll allow it

[10:48:47 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: but if someone tries to use, say, Take-Mikazuchi, I'll nope them

[10:48:54 AM] Marf: awww

[10:48:54 AM] Duggers: NO

MY KANJI

[10:48:56 AM] Marf: why?

[10:49:03 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: already used, gg no re

[10:49:10 AM] Marf: what about OROBAS

[10:49:19 AM] Duggers: 'cause that's kanji's persona

not even the MC gets it

makes sense that no one else would.

[10:49:19 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: Orobas is acceptable if you so chose

[10:49:24 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: yeah

[10:49:33 AM] Marf: oh so like

[10:49:42 AM] Blackhawk Stinger: like, as long as it isn't a party member's persona or the evolved form, it's okay

and yes, statless

but hey it looks like we've at least got enough people to create a main team and a couple S.links, so neato

I'll maybe throw a signup thread tonight or tomorrow, dunno if I'll be able to address anything about it afterwards until Monday though, so maybe I'll give this the weekend to see if anyone else is down and go from there

[Snowy_One]

Yea... I might have been interested but my knowledge of Persona is nil. Maybe in a future RP with less prior knowledge.

[Flamy]

Role: Likely a S. Link. Persona User if available.

Opinion on the basic idea: It is AWESOME.

Level of pre-existing knowledge: Savvy

Available Time for RP: As much time those dang Time Mages allow me. In other words, massively fluctuating.

for those that maybe didn't see it, the signup thread is a gogo

[Rapier]

oh wait i should have read this first

Opinion on the basic idea: Looks cool.

Level of pre-existing knowledge (THIS IS WHERE YOU ASK FOR A RUNDOWN OF PERSONA IN GENERAL IF YOU STILL WANT MORE): I know little about Personas and tarot cards and mottiff and all that jazz.
