All is Lost​

An InnerPeace and Piercing Light collaboration

You are now entering a world where your inner self can take form.​

Bloomwick University...a hilltop school in Wisconsin that contains the key to your future. This college offers a myriad of courses to its students, from Advanced Particle Physics to Zoology. There are also many clubs and activities to take part in. Basically, if there is a sport or activity you like, there's probably a club for it. And just like any other college, there are rules that every student must follow. At this school, there is one rule that everyone always questions.

"It is forbidden for any student to be out at midnight."

It is unknown why this rule in in the student handbook.

Like any other school, there are rumors like who's dating who. Rumors about a party last night. There are even rumors about seeing your soulmate in an off TV during a rainy midnight. But there is one particular rumor that has been going on for three years.

The rumor is that there is a person garbed in black has been running about at night after the forbidden time with a large scythe and a sadistic smile. They even say looking into its chest is often compared to staring into a black hole. Students call this person "The Grim Reaper." Rumor also has it is that the victims of said person always has an upside down cross deeply cut into their stomach and almost as soon as they're found, they quickly decompose.

It is a small group of students' job to find out who this Reaper is and stop him. But all may not be as it seems, as another group from the shadows of consciousness are lurking from the depths of the school.

Rules:
/Basic KHI rules apply
/Please be literate.
/No God-modding or Powerplaying
/I know it's a college life RP, but please keep the romance PG-13.
/No Gary Stus or Mary Sues
/I will be accepting five Persona User templates and four Boss Shadow templates.
/Lastly, Have fun (or else)

"A shadow is suppressed power, and when controlled by one's ego, it becomes a Persona..."

—unofficial project document​

A Shadow is the incarnation of a person's most negative personality facets, repressed emotions, and darkest secrets. A Persona is the manifestation of a person's personality. While a Shadow is a person's true thoughts and feelings given form, a Persona is all of those thoughts, but tame and loyal to its master. Unlike in Persona 3 & 4, all the users have to do is focus their mind in order to summon. To make it easier to focus, your characters can take their own unique pose to summon, like pretending to shoot yourself with your finger. But it can only be called forth for the first time in a near-death situation.

Name: Saito Shinpachi

Arcana: The Fool

Age: 21

Personality: Saito is almost always serious and puts up a wall between himself and everyone else. He keeps people at arm's length in fear of letting people close and hurting them and himself. He also has a complex about being called weak. If he does let people close to him, he's almost a completely different person. He refers to everyone but his friends by their last name. Even though he tries to keep people away, he gets extremely bashful around cute girls.

Appearance: Saito's slim pale body is about six feet tall. His tired-looking eyes are a bright red color. His hair is messy and coal-colored that's short on top and is tied in two long, bleached white ponytails hanging from the top of his neck and reaches his lower back. He's usually wearing a pair of goggles with a sea blue strap around his neck, a black blazer over a tucked in tye-dye shirt, dark grey slacks, and a pair of white sneakers. Lastly, he keeps a black wallet in his back right pocket with its stainless steel chain hooked to the right front belt-loop of his pants.

Bio: Born the second oldest out of seven, Saito is one of the sons of a pair of mafia crime lords that reside in New York City. Ever since he was a child, he was expected to take over the family business. But Saito had no interest of taking it over...or so he claims. In actuality, he secretly admires how his father ran his business. He loved how he commanded the respect of his peers, but he hides this fact even from himself.

At age 13, his best friend at the time was killed by rival gang members in front of him while they were hanging out. After that, Saito went to their headquarters and savagely beat every last member to a bloody pulp. Ever since then, he stayed away from mostly everyone to this very day thinking that if he lets people close, somehow they'll get hurt. It was also around the time that he started to grow out and bleach his hair.

In his academic life, he has always had good grades, but he's never had any idea what he wanted to do as a career. He attended Bloomwick University to take the Business course.

Weapon of choice: Scythe

Persona: Izanagi
Resists: Lightning
Blocks: Dark
Weak: Wind

Skills:
Zio: Calls down a weak bolt of lightning.
Cleave: Light Physical damage to a single enemy.
Rakunda: Decreases an enemy's defense for three posts.

Personality Split: (1500 Truths) When Saito and Izanagi fuse, his clothes will change to resemble Izanagi's and his scythe will glow with a brilliant light. With the glow, lightning will run down its blade. While using this, his speed is enhanced. The attack will end when he strikes something with his scythe. The signal of this happening will be a single large bolt of lightning rising from the point of contact.

Other:
Theme Song: Seidaku (by rungran)
Battle Tunes: Loop Demo Movie (by Kento Hasegawa and Tetsuya Shibata)
Likes: Spicy food, high places, and the starry night sky.
Dislikes: Kids and not much else.

 

[SilentTrinity]

Name: Levis Takahara

Arcana: The Emperor

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Personality: Levis is an outgoing guy, always the first to strike up a conversation and make friends, always the talking and making jokes. Some say he's Charismatic, others say he's funny, but in truth he just knows how to talk, and talk well at that. Though he tends to speak his mind, or try to at least get a few new friends, doesn't mean he is just a people person.

Levis likes his privacy like anyone else, but he tends to be open about things. Ask him about what he thinks about the war in the middle east, he'll give you an explanation that would probably make sense to a politician. Levis is by far no idiot, his IQ being in the 150's, using this as an excuse some may say that's the reason he talks a lot, so that people don't feel threaten by his intellect.

When it comes down to his feelings, he tends to be completely serious, and tries to explain everything in a simplistic way that people can understand, hard for him as he doesn't tend to reveal much.

Appearance: Levis stands at about 5'10". He has dark brown hair that is slicked up to about three inches in spikes, bright blue eyes with a tint of gold in them, and has a build that he worked out for sometime prior to now.Levis wears white shirt with a black jacket over it, black dress pants, black sneakers, and a silver tear drop necklace. Levis has a scar across his nose bridge.


Bio: Levis was born to a couple of scientist who were researching the study of the human body, though they were not by far doctors, only researching on the human body and its capabilities. Thus Levis was born in trying anything he wanted, and had a decent childhood.

It wasn't til about fourth grade that Levis's intelligence began to show, as well as his ability to speak to adults on their level. Because of this, the kids that he grew up with began to withdraw from him, fearful of him being smarter than the rest. Though he tried as best as he could to get some of his friends back, there were no words that could tell a fourth grader that he wasn't different, just smart. Those were sad days.

Ever since then, Levis vowed that he would wait til he got to college before using his intellect again, but with most people who vow things, they sometimes get broken. Such as his High School years, his teachers all praised his brains and how all the work he turned in was magnificent. Some of the guys weren't impressed with this and began to pick on Levis, to the point where they locked him in his own locker for an entire school day. When he was found, he was seen writing a paper on the attempts of social interactions with Jocks and the Nerds. The paper got an "A".

After that, Levis started to build not only his mind but his body as well, not trying to become a giant of a man but big enough where he could at least fight some guy who got a bit drunk and messed with him. Soon the High School years left Levis and he entered College, a place he thought, where his intellect would be at least somewhat more appreciated.

Skills:
Double Fangs: Inflicts a small amount of Physical damage twice on one enemy.
Garu: Inflicts a small amount of Wind damage on one enemy.
Dia: Recovers a small amount of HP to one ally. Can be used in the field.

Personality Split: (Temperance Blast) Levis merges with Byakko and becomes what some might say a Cay boy, his teeth being replaced with fangs, his hands and weapons replaced by razor sharp claws. Levis's Speed is increased. The attack starts with a charged single hit, sending the enemy flying into the air, while the enemy falls, Levis jumps and hits with his claws a multiple combo. The end of this is marked with a single blow, a attack which Levis uses his feet to pound the enemy into the ground.

[Mistearea]

Name: Skyte Evans

Arcana: Strength

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Personality:

He knows that he's adopted, and he adds that experience to his life. He is one of the few that chooses not to find his birth parents in that he feels it will only cause him more worry. That being the case, he makes up with this subconsciously by attending to the problems of his friends. He is always one to stand up for those close to him and the first to jump into a fight. Still, he retains his gentle nature when not confronted and spends much of his free time training to keep his body in top shape. This never lasts long because he always gets bored of fighting against imaginary opponents. He prefers something a little more substantial.

Appearance: This

Bio:

At first Skyte's life was considered to by abysmal to many others. In truth, it was common for someone in his home country to be born into a life of pain. Skyte was born in Russia where he remained for the first five years of his life. His mother couldn't support him herself so she made the painful decision to give her only son up for adoption. At this time it was quite common for Russian children to be adopted into other nations because there the child is almost guaranteed a good life. This was the case for the small child, granted he did not approve it the new life at first.

For the next five years Skyte was a problematic child to his new parents. He would always find some way to cause trouble for them be it anything from refusing to do what they say to stealing things from the local stores. Finally his father had enough with the unruly child and decided to enlist the boy in a local martial arts dojo. There the boy learned to channel his anger and even turn the once handicap into a strength until finally learning to control it all together.

Skyte continued this all through his school life until he felt that he knew enough. At this time he had just started his last year in high school. It was then that he started to look into other schools at the request of his mother until he found one that he liked. The school itself wasn't too far from his current place, but it was still too far for regular visits from his parents.

Weapon: Dual Swords

Persona: Zao-Gongen

Physical: Strong
Fire: Strong
Ice: NA
Wind: NA
Lightning: Weak
Light: NA
Dark: NA

Skills:

Arm Chopper: Deals light Physical damage to one foe 1-3 times with a small chance of inflicting Fear.
Power Charge: Doubles the Physical damage dealt next turn.
Agi: Deals light Fire damage to one foe.

Personality Split:

Raging Shadow: Skyte fuses with his Persona and utilizes all of the strengths of the creature at once. In this form he takes on the form of Zao-Gongen. Fire quickly consumes his body and quickly envelopes the target(s). Using the new strength, Skyte jumps high into the air and sheaths both swords. He finally sends himself flying into the center of the fire and lands with a punch to the ground. This causes a large explosion to destroy anything left standing.

Other:

Practices both Muy Thai and Niten Ichi-ryū.
Surprises everyone by enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee.
Has a soft spot for dogs.

 

[Peace]

Darkfyre you are accepted. Come on guys! Let's keep this going!

 

[Piercing Light]

Name: Asahina Mayo

Arcana: Fortune

Gender: err, girl parts...

Age: 18

Personality: Too darn timid and nice for her own good, Asahina can't stand it if someone thinks of her with negativity. She tends to break down in high pressure situations, because of this, she can be a bit of a pushover and has self confidence issues. Regardless of this, she still has her own values and sense of mind. When talking with others she does so in a soft voice, and measures each and every word, being careful to not say anything stupid. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that Asahina has a bit of growing up to do, because of her self esteem problems she tends to rely on others, not wanting to put pressure on herself.

Appearance:

Spoiler Show

Her hair is a light blue, she tends to not take too much care of it, letting it grow down to her lower back. Her eyes match the shade of her hair, and always have a look of fatigue in them, as if she never gets enough sleep. Her gentle face is hardly seen with a smile, instead her default look is one of someone who is not always exactly 'down to earth.'

Bio: Born into a middle class family as a single child, Asahina grew up kind of awkwardly. She never fit in with any other kids and would usually do embarrassing things to be 'accepted.' She knew she was simply being used, but to her any kind of attention was enough for her. One day this habit cost her dearly. Her 'friends' were bored so they decided to pull a prank on Asahina. They told her to break into the office of their school's principle and loosen the bolts on his chair, which should result in a great fall. However things turned sour when they locked her in the office. She spent the entire weekend in the office sulking and wondering what she'd done wrong. When she finally got out, she became a social outcast, she avoided people and they avoided her. Now entering college as a freshman, she is beyond nervous about the new settings.

Weapon: Long range weapons, such as a bow or crossbow.

Persona: Norn <click

Skills:
Garu: Inflicts small wind damage to one target.
Dia: Restores a small amount of health to one ally.
Insta-heal: User's status ailments are cured after two minutes.

Personality Split: Tornado Calamity - Asahina's body takes on a metallic gold, and her hair becomes a silvery white. Using either a bow or crossbow, she fires an arrow that creates a devastating tornado in it's wake. She can fire another arrow, however using the attack twice in a row can cause damage to her body and/or fainting.

Other: Like's ramen noodles and tea. Enjoys music and drawing.

 

[Eva]

Do you have to have played Persona to join?

 

[Peace]

Piercing Light, you're accepted. As an answer to to your question Eva, no you don't. Here's a couple lists of skills from the latest Persona games to give you a little help (even though I should have put these in the second OP).

 

[Eva]

Name:
Hinata Kousuke

Arcana:
The High Priestess

Gender:
Female

Age:
19

Personality:
The very definition of 'Little Miss Sunshine'--there is rarely a moment where this girl isn't humming happily to herself or staring off at the distance with a dreamy look on her face. She's very cheerful, always looking on the bright side. She is very polite, always having her best manners, and tends to have an air of peace around her. Her perkiness and bundle of energy tends to tire people out. She tends to trust people too easily, but that is because she just wants to be a good person to everyone. She is also selfless, tending to others as a motherly figure, despite usually being younger than most. Whenever she gets used to someone, she tries to put emphasis on 'the perks of living', believing that everyday life is a blessing and should therefore be lived to the fullest--this resulting in her energetic personality.

Appearance:

Spoiler Show

A girl standing at around maybe 5''3, Hinata has fair skin, big blue eyes, and wavy blonde hair. Her facial features are somewhat child-like, resulting in her baby face, giving her the look of a sixteen-seventeen year old girl. She is modestly endowed, having a slender figure, though she claims she's been gaining weight.

She typical wears anything with frills or lace, her outfits being the epitome of femininity. Her favorite outfit is a peach colored dress with a large bow on the front, and several layers of frills at the hem.

Bio:
Born the seventh child of a wealthy family, Hinata was usually overshadowed by the achievments of her sisters; one got excellent marks, one got married to a rich doctor, another excelled in sports. There was nothing she found herself good at, at first, and just remained in the shadows while her sisters got all the glory.
Until she discovered the piano, that is.
The term 'child prodigy' comes to mind; she was excellent at it, practicing every single day for hours at a time, even going to far as to wake up in the middle of the night to go practice. She loved it, and her sisters did, too. The one thing she was actually good at--she had found it at last.
Until she broke her arm playing on a jungle gym. Don't ask how.
While she was able to play again, she was never able to play for as long as before. The talent hadn't changed, but the time did. In order to cope with the loss, she took up dancing with her older sister. Eventually she returned to the piano, feeling that it was her calling.
In school, she wasn't popular, but she wasn't a loser. She was usually just there. She got good grades, but there was always someone better. She accepted that, but what killed her was her few friends. She had two in particular, but eventually they moved away, leaving her alone. She often tried to hard, making people turn away, but dealt with it because really, what can you do?
She hopes college will be different, and can't wait for piano class.

Weapon:
War Fans

Persona:
Amaterasu

Skills:
Agi - Light Fire damage.
Dia - Light HP recovery.
Recarm- Revives one knocked-out ally.

Personality Split:

Sun Dance
Her war fans combine into one big one, and she dons the robes and hairstyle of Amateratsu. Her magic is enchanced, and she begins a dance that sends flames at her target, each getting stronger as the dance goes on. She finishes her dance with a swing of her fan, then spinning around, creating a sort of whirlwind of flames as the target burns.

Other:
Her favorite color is yellow.
She loves flowers, her favorite being yellow daisies and tulips.
She is quite talented at the piano and singing, but can't draw if it could save her life.
She loves eating anything sweet, often having an uncontrollable sweet tooth.
She sometimes fantasises and becoming a princess, though she mainly just wants to wear a beautiful tiara and marry a Prince Charming.
She is also a closet-otaku, afraid of letting others know what an avid fan she is.
She adores love stories, though for some reason her favorites are ones that end badly.. >>;;
She is such a morning person; waking up at the crack of dawn with a yawn and being able to get ready in minutes.
Don't tell her that she'd short. Unless you want a kick to the shin. Or a good smack upside the head. Or see her cry.

 

[Piercing Light]

Do you have to have played Persona to join?

While it would help a bit, the concept is easy to grasp. If there's anything you're confused about just ask.

Piercing Light, you're accepted. As an answer to to your question Eva, no you don't. Here's a couple lists of skills from the latest Persona games to give you a little help (even though I should have put these in the second OP).

You do that, a basic explanation of what persona and shadows are would help as well.

 

[Eva]

I hope I did the temp right. ._.

 

[Piercing Light]

Well if it's any consolation it looks fine to me.

 

[Peace]

My only complaint about your temp Eva is the skill Samarecarm. If you change it to Recarm and add a Personality Split, then I you'll be alright. And Piercing Light can you add a Personality Split as well? Thanks.

 

[Eva]

My only complaint about your temp Eva is the skill Samarecarm. If you change it to Recarm and add a Personality Split, then I you'll be alright. And Piercing Light can you add a Personality Split as well? Thanks.

Alright, is it alright now?

 

[Peace]

Yep, perfect Eva! Now all we need is some people to play some Shadows.

 

[SilentTrinity]

i might make a Shadow Temp if i can understand what they are.

They aren't like the ones in P4 correct? Like Shadow Yosuke and Chie and etc?

If not are they just regular shadows that have developed a human like skin?

 

[Piercing Light]

My only complaint about your temp Eva is the skill Samarecarm. If you change it to Recarm and add a Personality Split, then I you'll be alright. And Piercing Light can you add a Personality Split as well? Thanks.

Added a Personality Split...
