Persona: New Awakening

OOC Thread Here​

Story​

Ten years ago, a group of high school students from Gekkoukan High fought against Shadows to destroy the Dark Hour and Tartarus. However, along the way, they realized they only brought the world’s end closer. In the end, they defeated 12 Shadows and brought about the coming of Nyx. Nyx, a maternal being, was quickly defeated, but soon, the leader of the group sacrificed himself to stop the end of the world. In the end, everyone who saw the world’s ending approaching, forgot, except for those that had the powers of summoning a Persona.

Ten years have passed and people have lived a normal daily life until now. The once club known as SEES has suddenly been brought back by Mitsuru Kirigo, who was a former student of Gekkoukan High. Going by the club’s advisor, she appears very rarely and only speaks to the one she had seen awaken to the power of a Persona after so long. Somehow, the Dark Hour and Tartarus has returned, which has baffled those that had fought against the Shadows ten years ago.

Residents of Port Island have suddenly began wishing for a “new world†and for a change. This had caused Persona-users to be born, and by the sudden appearance of Persona-users, Nyx was released by the seal that once kept it away and the twelve Shadows that were defeated returned as well.

SEES is now working on recruiting more Persona-users to stop Nyx once more. Nyx’s coming is May 11th, 2021.

Important Terms​

Spoiler

Personas​

A Persona is a second soul that dwells deep within a person’s heart. It is an entirely different personality that emerges when a person is confronted with something from outside his world. A Persona ability refers to the unique gift that enables a person to summon and use a Persona. Those who are capable of this feat are known as Persona-users. This ability is humanity’s only hope to defeat the Shadows.

Arcana​

The Arcana are the different classes of Tarot cards. They are a major thematic element. The Arcana are divided into the Major Arcana (22 unique cards) and the Minor Arcana (four suits of cards, not unlike those of traditional playing cards).

The Dark Hour​

The Dark Hour is a time period that exists an abnormal period of time known as the Dark Hour, which manifests every evening at midnight. During the Dark Hour, normal people are transformed into crystallized objects resembling coffins through a process called Transmogrification. While a person is Transmogrified, he is not cognizant of anything happening in the world around him. Therefore, the general public is unaware of the existence of the Dark Hour. Only Shadows, the original inhabitants of the Dark Hour, and those who possess the “potential†can experience this time.

Tartarus​

Tartarus, structured like a tower, it is the nest of the Shadows that appears every night during the Dark Hour. Every Persona user will begin exploring from the first floor and advance up the tower as you progress. The tower has 265 floors, that including the roof. It is divided into six blocks, that must be explored. Your goal is to reach the top of the tower. However, if you complete a block before a full moon, you cannot go into the next block until the next full moon is completed. While in Tartarus, you must pay attention to you and your party’s physical condition. You are human, so it is impossible for a Persona-user to handle Tartarus for too long.

On each floor of Tartarus, there are Access Points, which will take you straight back down to the first floor. However, there are certain points where you will fight mini-bosses and in that floor, there is an access point that can either take you straight down to the first floor, or to any of the other floors you have already explored. Once you go up a floor in Tartarus, you cannot descend staircases. You can only go up.

While in Tartarus, you expect to only see Shadows that you can fight without much of a problem. However, while in Tartarus you must not spend a large amount of time in one floor. The Reaper lives in Tartarus and can show up if you spend too much time in one floor, or are at a high level and you are currently in the first floors. If your party runs into Death (The Reaper), you must search for the staircase quickly and go into the next floor and search for an Access Point to leave Tartarus for the night.

Gekkoukan High School/Dorms​

Before Gekkoukan High School was founded, the building was built by Kirigo Group, intended as a laboratory to instigate and experiment on Shadows. The scientists would gather the shadows and harvest them, amplifying their capabilities and their potential. It is later shown that during the experiment, the Arcana that was never meant to be, Death was created. It is also revealed that via the experiments, the leading group of the scientists, came to know about the Fall. A majority scientists willingly embraces the prophecy, with an exception of Yukari's father. Declining Death, Yukari's father intercepted the experiments and destroyed many of the facilities along the way. It is also where the Shadows who began to merge with one another, intending to reform into Death, who was forcefully torn apart, leaving an incomplete shadow escaping. The laboratory was later destroyed by the outraged Shadows, leaving only a few of the leading scientists alive.

To cover up the incident, Kirijo Group spent a large sum of money and rebuilt the laboratory into a High School. However, as the students enroll in, many of them disappeared with reasons unknown. It was, however, written on the papers that the school suffered from an explosion. Every evening at midnight, Gekkoukan High School changes into Tartarus.

When a person awakened to their Persona, they must move into the school’s dorm. Any other normal student lives with their parents/guardian in Port Island. However, it is the Persona-user’s choice if they wish to use their powers or continue living their lives as normal as possible.

First floor of the dorm is the lobby, second floor is where the boys’ rooms are, third floor is where the girls’ rooms are, and the fourth floor is where the Command Room resides.

Social Links​

A Social Link is a bond you have with another person. Getting to know others is the key to strengthening your Persona. When meeting a person, you create a Social Link. When “maxing†a Social Link, it means the bond you have created with another person cannot be broken. In order to strengthen the bond, or increase your Social Link, you simply hang out with the person. You can even turn the other person into your lover if you wish. If you choose to have a lover, you may only have one.

Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES)​

SEES is an extracurricular club at Gekkoukan High School. While the school sponsors them and lists them as a school club, their true purpose is to eliminate the Shadows and investigate both Tartarus and the Dark Hour. SEES was originally founded by the Kirigo Group and it was dissolved after Nyx was defeated. However, just recently, it was brought back up by Mitsuru Kirigo.

Full Moons​

Each full moon, there is a special Shadow of certain Arcanas that the Persona-users must fight. During these times of the Full Moon, I will choose which group(s) from SEES will fight the Shadow. Each Persona-user must be at a strong level in order to fight or else you will simply lose consciousness quickly.

Rules​

1. No god-modding/power playing. Very common rule, so please follow it.
2. I understand all of the terms could be a bit overwhelming, but they are very important. I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t written down all these terms, nobody would join. Did it so everyone, even those that haven’t played the game, would understand the basics of the RP and the original game.
3. Forming Social Links with other members is a must. It makes the RP much more interesting and it increases your Persona’s strength as well. So please form Social Links with others.
4. You may not bring back one of the characters from Persona 3, at all. It’s been 10 years so they’re adults and can’t really summon a Persona anymore. That is why, all Persona users must be below nineteen years of age.
5. I do not want to have purely Persona-users. I would like to have normal people as well. You also don’t have to start out as a Persona-user. You can develop the power along the way.
6. Only one Persona per person. I know in the game, the MC(main character) had a multitude of Personas, but here, everyone only has one. I will provide a list of Personas, and please put what Arcana it is.
7. Whatever weakness your Persona has, it affects you. So, say you choose a Persona that’s weak against ice. If you are struck with an ice attack, you fall down. You can also become dizzy if you are hit with your weakness twice, preventing you from doing fighting until a little while after.
8. If you’ve played the game, you know perfectly well that it’s rated M because of the violence and possible sexual comments and such. This RP will be kept at PG-13 though. If you and another character choose to become lovers, if you wish to continue forward than just kissing and hugging, just take it to PM or just do a “morning after†kind of thing. That’s what the game practically does anyway. <<;
9. During the day, if it’s after school, or on a day off, hell, even if you decide to skip class, you can do whatever you want. You just can’t go to Tartarus, obviously, since it only appears at midnight.
10. Have fun!

Notes​

1. List of Personas. Also, if you hadn’t noticed, the Arcanas are there as well. So whatever Arcana the Persona is under, that’s the Arcana. You cannot change it. And when creating Social Links, you create a Social Link with that same Arcana.
2. Since Persona isn’t very known, I’m fine if you don’t have a lot of knowledge of the game. I can answer any questions if anyone has any.
3. The phase of the moon will seriously follow the moon phases of 2020. Seriously. I searched a calendar for it, so try not to worry too much on that. If you’d like to know the moon phases, just click here and here.
5. If my character is not present in the evening, you may not go to Tartarus. And in order to go to Tartarus, the leader of the group(s) will simply have to speak to my character.
6. Gekkoukan has uniforms. They can be seen here.

Bio: Leila had lived a normal life style before awakening to the power of her Persona. Her mother and Father were one of the few scientists that had survived the explosion ten years ago. About a year ago, at midnight, her family was suddenly attacked by a Shadow. It killed her father and when it was about to attack her mother, Leila awakened to her Persona and somehow defeated it. She wasn’t sure how it happened, due to her Persona’s lack of battle orientations, but since her parents were known by the Kirigo Group, Mitsuru Kirigo heard of what happened and spoke to Leila about SEES, Tartarus, the Dark Hour and the Shadows. Soon after, she moved to Port Island and now lives in the dorm.

Bio: Terri is an only child and lived with her grandparents since she was a baby. She was told a few years back that her parents had died in car accident and they had to take her in. She had lived overseas for quite a while, but her grandparents decided to move to Port Island when she was 14. Attending Gekkoukan High, she immediately felt something wasn’t right about the school and felt extremely uncomfortable. After a year, she tried convincing her grandparents to move away from Port Island, but they constantly refused. Eventually, when she was 15, she woke up in the middle of the Dark Hour and began freaking out when she saw coffins in her grandparents’ room. She freaked out and ran outside, seeing more coffins and eventually ran off into an alleyway where she was found by Leila. The day after, she was told about the Dark Hour and the Shadows, and soon convinced her grandparents to let her stay at the dorm.

Personality: Holden speaks very little despite having much to say. He's the type of person who would rather handle everything on his own and would even try to separate from the others if he knew without a doubt that he would not need them. He may come off cold but it's only because he does not know how to express his emotions towards anyone else, having been raised to know that actions speak louder than words.
Bio: He said nothing when he was recruited by SEES. After having a messy fight against two Shadows, Holden found himself meeting Kirigo that same night. Holden wasn't bothered by the events going on, as he had kept quiet about facing a Shadow previously. He hadn't always been so silent as two years before encountering any Shadows, Holden was studying under his father, a man who dedicated a great deal of time in researching Eastern sword-fighting, until he was killed in a mugging. His mother, wishing to get away from the memory, moved with Holden to Port Island. While he himself had not involved himself with the history and customs his father had studied, Holden had already become a talented swordsman.

Gender: Female
Appearance:

Spoiler: appearence

Long red hair down to her waist, orange eyes. Wears the tradtional school uniform, and on holidays (days off) wears baggy navy and black bottoms and a loose fitting red and black sleeveless top (she likes to feel comfortable).

Personality: Haruka doesn't let her lack of a past get her down and has a very outgoing and cheerful personality preferring to live in the moment , she is the type who doesn't hold back around anyone with the attitude of: 'If someone can't like me for who I really am, why should I care?'
Not to be considered a tart, but she isn't afraid to use a bit of sex appeal to her advantage. She loves to joke around and hang out with her friends and is extremely loyal, always willing to jump in head first if her they need her, and never backing down from a challenge. Haruka herself has trained herself outside of school doing martial arts and has developed a bit of love for fighting and is naturally skilled with hand to hand combat. So don't mess with her friends or you will have to mess with her too, and she isn't the type to go down so easily.
Bio: Haruka woke up one day 10 years ago outside of Gekkoukan with complete amnesia, not knowing a thing about her past, anyone or who her parents were. She only knows of her first name because of a tattoo found on the back of her neck which says in small letters: (Haruka 273). She was found by some students when she was on the verge of collapse and taken to the police station. The police did a search to see if any young girls had been reported missing, but there was no trace of anyone looking for a 10 year old red headed girl at all.
The police decided they would take her to an orphanage but Haruka herself desperately refused at the time saying that she felt she woke up near the school for a reason and that if she left, she may never find the answer that she is desperately searching for.
10 years have passed since then and Haruka is now attending Gekkoukan High school, still convinced that the place holds some answers for her and her lost memories.
She gave herself her new surname Hotaru (which is Japanese for Firefly) after her,some of her friends were hanging out and a Firefly decided to land on top of Haruka's head, it's warm glow matching the colour of her hair, to which all of the girls laughed at (espiecially Yukiko with one of her laughing fits).

Sitting alone in the Command Room, Leila stared quickly at screen before her as she chewed her bottom lip lightly, unable to detect any Shadows around Port Island. She recalls being told by Ms. Kirigo of Shadows appearing outside of Tartarus. As much as she understands they were those 12 special Shadows, she can't help but feel the need to be cautious. Leila sighed quietly to herself as she rose to her feet, turning away and heading out of the Command Room. Twelve Shadows need to be defeated once again. Practically being in charge of the actions and decisions that SEES makes, she feels like a lot of the responsibility falls on her. "Tonight, I'll make the group go into Tartarus. But before that, I'll choose a leader for battle." A low hum escaped Leila's mouth as she leaned her head back a little, descending down the staircase as she wondered who was more capable of summoning their Persona without hesitation.

"I haven't seen any of them fight just yet," she muttered lowly, lowering her eyes down to the ground. "I guess I'll have to see later tonight." Reaching the lobby of the dorm, the girl perked an eyebrow, seeing nobody was down yet. "There's school today. Hopefully they've all left already."

"I got my books, notebook, folder, um..." Terri's eyes looked through her school's bag, quietly humming to herself as she made sure she had everything she needed. Seeing she had everything, she briskly walked over to her mirror, fixing the bow around her neck as she looked at the rest of her uniform. "I'm surprised they still even have the same thing after so many years," she murmured lowly, lightly waving her arms down at her sides.

Nodding at herself, Terri returned her attention to her bag, picking it up and placing the strap over her shoulder. Leaving her room, she yawned quietly, walking quickly down the staircase. The previous night she was woken up by Leila, who wanted Terri's "help" in the Command Room. She wasn't quite sure how much help she did, but she couldn't help but feel slightly bothered that she just practically sat there. Terri huffed out, blowing a few strands of her away from her eyes before yawning once more. "I wonder if I'll get enough sleep tonight."

 

Many questions flooded Arthur's head as he sat in class though they had nothing to do with the lecture. His mind wandered with visions of the green sky and moon above the awkward tower that was this very school at the stroke of midnight. Being a senior he would soon leave Gekkoukan or at least that was the original plan set up by himself and what his parents would expect of him. Still Arthur figured this sudden 'Dark Hour' may hinder these goals and yet the answers he had gotten from his classmate Leila, to his surprise never expected her to be involved, seemed all to vague.

"Today is the 14th so I'll call on. .Kirkland today!" the teacher said bringing Arthur back down to reality. "Please tell us what type of water has high concentrations of calcium and magnesium?"

". . .Hard water?" the blond replied with an unsure expression yet the teacher nodded and held a small smile. "Correct! But please do stay with the class"

 

Haruka jumped off the monorail once it got to the station, clipping on her skates to her shoes, skating wildly to try and make it to the school on time.
I'm gonna be so late!
What a dramatic start to the morning... her life wasn't that dramatic, other than the fact that she had no memories before the age of seven, nor a family. No big deal right?
Well, perhaps it was, but Haruka long ago had decided just to accept it and do something about it. Though, she had still yet to find any answers in the halls of the school, but she wasn't ready to quit yet.
She skated quickly through the school gates, her headphones over her ears listening to a song called 'Burn my Dread - Reincarnation'
I might just make it on time..

Sakura was busy taking notes in her class, while dreaming of a popular singer. But her daydreaming was interrupted by a kick from her stomach, she sighed. If her parents hadn't convinced the principal to let her continue coming to school despite she was raped and now expecting a child, she wasn't sure what she would do. However, she felt glad she wasn't living with her parents and was now living in the dorms.

 

Username: Guardian_Soul
Name: Vincent Valier
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Link
Personality: A guy who is full of good cheer and is friendly to others, preferring not to dwell on the negative but on the flipside, he's also a person who usually acts before he thinks and is willing to take risks that others wouldn't take.
Bio: Although he is a senior at Gekkoukan High School, Vincent has only moved to Port City from the countryside recently and therefore doesn't know much about the city and is still trying to adjust to his new life. Ever since he moved to the city, he has started to have a recurring dream where a person calls out to him. Unable to find the person, Vincent asks who it is and the only answer he receives is a cryptic "Thou art I. And I am thou" which would be the end of the dream and he would usually wake up in a sweat afterwards, confused as to what the dream meant.
Grade: Senior
Weapon: Katana - Before moving to Port City, he was one of the top students in his town's dojo and while he hasn't been able to practice as much as he used to since moving to the city, he isn't rusty.
Other: Has the potential to get a Persona. I'll decide on which Persona later >>

OCC: Yea, my character is going to be normie for a bit. I'll make his Persona a surprise C:. Are we allowed to use Personas from the other games or does it just have to be from Persona 3?

 

Allen was sitting in class staring out the window.Man this is boring he thought wondering what he was supposed to do to pass the time. The dark hour doesn't start for a while and none of the good clubs are accepting members yet. After trying to figure out what to do, he decided he might as well listen to the teacher before he gets called on for a question.

 

OOC: You're in. 8D And no, it doesn't have to be. Bushy-Brow's Persona is from P4 so yeah. Start whenever you like.

"Apathy Syndrome, The Lost..." Leila sighed softly as she sat in the lobby with her feet resting up on the coffee table in front of her. She chose to have classes in the afternoon instead of in the morning, wanting to have a bit of rest from staying up too late. Having everyone gone for school has also given her a little chance to unwind and relax for a bit. "Ms. Kirigo told me victims Apathy Syndrome wander into Tartarus because they hear Shadows calling their names," she muttered to herself, moving her feet off of the table and onto the ground. "We'll have to go into Tartarus whenever we hear a report of a missing person."

Groaning quietly, Leila rose to her feet and looked at the time, noticing she still had quite a bit of time before having to leave for school. Sighing once more, she sat back down on the couch and grabbed one of Terri's books that were left on the table. "I guess I can read for a bit."

Terri's grip on her book bag tightened as she rushed out of the monorail as soon as the doors slid open. "Stupid thing," she groaned, raising her hand in front of her to look at the time. I'm going to be late. I wonder if the bell already rung. At that moment, she heard the usual tune of the bell, yelping quietly as she picked up her pace. Finally reaching her classroom, she inhaled deeply and calmly, yet quickly, walked inside and took her seat. She let out a sigh of relief and looked at the door, noticing their teacher barely walking in as well. Okay...

Leaning forward slightly, she looked around her classroom as she remembered what Leila had told her the night before about anyone having the "potential" of using a Persona. I'm the only Junior in the group as of now. Hearing her teacher beginning the class, she reached into her book bag and pulled out her notebook and a pen to start taking notes. I wonder who else will join or if anyone else will join. I hope someone in the same grade as me joins. It feels kind of weird being the youngest.

 

OOC: For the record, it would be the same classroom as Terri.

Haruka heard the bell ring as she ran to class, she would have made it on time if she hadn't been stopped by a teacher for skating in the hall and then having to waste time and remove said skates.
Damn it! I was so close...
She busted through the classroom door, panting heavily... she was only just late... so...
"I'm sorry I'm late!" she piped out.
A lot of students laughed at her... yes... typical Haruka.
Haruka wasn't a popular, nor an unpopular student. But everyone knew of her because of the whole waking up with no memory outside the school thing from ten years ago... that story kinda stuck with her wherever she went.
She never let it bother her though.
People liked her well enough. She was a decent looking girl and despite often being late for class among other things she actually kept up pretty well when it came to exams and such.
She took her seat after bowing a few more times and making apologies to the teacher.
It was just another typical day, being typical Haruka at Gekoukkan High.

 

"Mr. Valier." Vincent could groggily hear a voice in the distant. "Mr. Valier." Vincent heard his name being called again and while the voice was still faint, the sound seemed to be coming closer this time. "VINCENT VAILER!" Vincent heard a yell followed by the sound of a ruler that had been slammed on the top of his desk forcefully, shocking him out of his nap.

"Yes?!" responded Vincent quickly as he lifted his head off of his desk and sat straight up on his chair in a split-second. The sound of chuckles from his fellow students resonated through out the classroom.

"Pay attention during class, Mr. Valier," said the teacher as his brow started to furrow. "I don't know how things were like back at your old school but over here at Gekkoukan, we don't sleep during class!"

"Sorry," yawned Vincent as he stretched his arms out, trying to get himself out of the daze he had been in for most of the day. How he even made it to school was a miracle today considering how he was practically a zombie this morning from the lack of sleep. "I think I'm starting to come down with something. Do you mind if I leave class early today?"

"Well if you aren't going to pay attention, I don't see the point in you staying in class today." said the teacher as he walked back to the blackboard, resuming the lesson that he was teaching. "You can go home BUT don't let something like this happen again."

"No worries! I'm sure that I'm just a little sick. I'll be better after I get some sleep." Grabbing the messenger bag that he had hung onto the back of his chair, Vincent slung it over his shoulder and walked out of the classroom sluggishly in to the hallway where he headed towards the exit. Exiting the building, Vincent let out a big yawn as he loosened the bow around his neck and unbuttoned the blazer of his uniform. The weather today was pretty decent and he wanted to feel the gentle wind hit against his body, hoping that it would invigorate him enough so he could catch the monorail and make it back to the dorms. This is going to take a miracle.

 

Lecture commenced as the last bell rang, and the teacher began jotting things down on the board. The blond glanced around the class and noticed Holden and Leila missing, the green eyes then dragged themselves back to the instructor who continued on with the scribbling of notes. Arthur's mind wandered once more to the night when he was attacked by the strange creature and the sudden flash of blue. There in front of him, a dragon that fought the beast and faded quickly as it came. From the point on he remembered waking up in the hospital with Leila as a visitor explaining the situation. As fictional as it seemed, there was no denying what had happened and the eerie green night sky with the crimson blood floor. According to what he had heard, there would be a meeting at the dorm after school and the young man wondered what it would be on, though he had a good guess.

 

OOC: After a few more posts from everyone, is it alright if we skip to the evening?

BIC:

Slightly slouched forward, Leila's eyes glided through the book, so into it that she hadn't noticed Holden come in. She cocked her head slightly and raised an eyebrow, slowly beginning to feel a presence near by. Hearing Holden cough, Leila quickly closed the book and jumped up, looking around the lobby before spotting Holden by the staircase. "Oh," she said, her voice cracking slightly. She looked down at the book that she had practically slammed onto the coffee table as she cleared her throat. "I didn't see you come in, Holden." She returned her attention towards the boy, tilting her head a little. "I thought you'd be in school?" she asked, stepping away from couch as she slowly started walking towards Holden.

Terri looked towards the doorway, hearing a classmate speak out. She raised her eyebrows and looked around at the class, slightly bothered of how they laughed at the girl. I think I'm the only one that didn't laugh. She sighed quietly, looking down at her paper, her pen coloring in a Shadow she had drawn. She sat up slightly and started drawing herself with a sword attacking the Shadow. A small smile crossed her lips before it quickly faded. Hm...

"Terri!" the teacher's voice called out, causing the young girl to quickly drop her pen and stand up. "What do you call the phenomenon when electrical resistance is zero?"

"Um..." The girl lowered her eyes down to the ground, muttering quietly before shooting her head right back up. "Oh! Superconductivity!"

The teacher smiled and nodded his head, turning his back on the class as he began writing a few more notes down on the board. "Correct!"

Terri smiled slightly, happy to know the little reading she had done the night before for school had paid off. Hearing a couple of her classmates giggle, Terri looked around and quickly sat back down, feeling her cheeks suddenly flush. I shouldn't have sounded so excited when giving the answer.
