Thou art I, and I am thou.
New York City, April 2012. People are plagued by negativity at random, increasingly frequent intervals. No one knows for sure why this is occurring, and media speculation likens it to the Apathy Syndrome of Japan that disappeared as quickly as it surfaced one year ago.
Enter the students of the Jones Academy for Talented Youth. One by one, certain students have found that they are becoming aware of the hidden time in which the incidents causing the negativity occur. "Hot Spots", as they have come to be called, pop up all over the city, spilling Shadows into our world, where they affect us from this Dark Hour, and normally cannot be spotted or fought. However, these gifted children have the potential to face their other selves and fight back against the darkness.
Their weapon? Personae, and the Evokers they use to call these beings forth.
Equipped with technology supplied to them from a mysterious benefactor, represented by Professor Jane Connors, a professor at their school who not only gives crucial guidance to the team, but sponsors them as a very private school club of sorts, they are able to locate these Hot Spots in the city and track down the Shadows in the Dark Hour.
What gets tricky for the team, though, is that in addition to fighting off Shadows by night, they have friendships and school by day to take care of! Luckily for them, the dorms (each member of the team is transferred to the O'Brian dormitory, where their equipment is located) and the school itself are located in the city. Juggling these tasks all together will be key to saving the world, as the relationships they build at school strengthen their Personae.
Applications:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Grade:
Appearance: (the more detailed, the better)
Personality: (remember, your character's personality flaws will determine how their Shadow Self behaves, so yes they should be a little flawed)
Battle Style: (ie, hand to hand, swords, hammers, etcetcetc. No guns.)
Role on the team: (It's really battle or support. I will accept a maximum of two support characters, unless there are a lot of apps, in which case 3-4 will be allowed)
Arcana: (for bonus points, match up your personality/backstory/Persona with the Arcana you choose! Not required though. Choices are: Fool, Magician, High Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Hierophant, Lovers, Chariot, Justice, Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Strength, Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun, Judgment, or Aeon)
Persona: (typically, Personae are usually modeled after mythical entities. If you are more creative than that, bombs away! Everyone, however, should include your Persona's appearance, abilities, and weaknesses. And if you want your Persona to evolve after your character undergoes a personal evolution, then say so here. There will be time to describe that later on. WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS (myself and Piercing Light, NO ONE STARTS THE RP WITH YOUR PERSONA. You will get a chance to earn it by facing your Shadow in the story.)
Backstory: (300 words minimum where you get to show off your writing style and tell the world how your character got to where they are and how they ended up as who they are.)
Favorite School Subject:
Extracurricular Activities:
Note: There will be ONE character allowed to have the Wild Card ability (ie, like the protagonists of P3 and P4, be able to equip more than one Persona and be able to access the Velvet Room, etcetc.) Mention this in your app if you would like your name in the hat, and if you are selected your Arcana MUST change to the Fool.
Barring any other important tidbits I've forgotten, this RP will start once 5 characters have been accepted.
Accepted characters by either myself or Piercing Light (members of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, unless you guys vote to change the name of the team):
1. Claire Stones (Angel)
2. Myde Falnae (Klom89)
3. Tristan "Uriel" Philon (Mistearea)
4. Acesto Yamoto (Piercing Light)
5. Nilsen Mendel (sephiroth2)
6. Adrianne Vanguard (Hecxy)
