a bad post Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Seiko slowly lifted herself from the cold ground beneath her. Where was she…? The last thing she remembered was…. Nothing… there was nothing she could remember. Every time she attempted to pull forward a memory she failed, only a splitting headache for her efforts. She looked to her surroundings for answers, but the pitch black granite walls, and thin purple mist laying low to the ground offered no hints. Click… click… The sound of tapping shoes came from behind Seiko causing to her whirl around… to find a girl with her exact appearance… only she had yellow eyes. Seiko’s eyes widened in fear, and the doppelgänger seemed to notice this and an eerie smile appeared on its face. Then it spoke… no… then this thing couldn’t be her, Seiko though touching her head to her throat… she had long since lost the ability to speak. “Heeheehee… No need to be startled…” the Seiko clone giggled, “everything will come together soon enough, but there will be time for that later. Your friends will be waking up soon… I’d get a move on if I were you.” A low moan echoed off the walls around Seiko, causing to whip around, finding nothing there. From behind her Seiko's clone giggled, but when the original turned around she was nowhere to be found. [spoiler='Plot']You awaken dazed and confused no memory of any event before this, though you seem to not be the only one. Several others lay with you unable to recall any of their past lives. Your surroundings; an enormous room, with pitch black walls and roof, four hallways leading off in different directions, and a thin purple mist shifting across the ground. With nothing but faith and fear to drive you forward, you and your companions drive further in the labyrinth to find a way out, and to somehow recover your lost memories. But danger lurks within this Labyrinth, for mysterious creatures known as Shadows lurk at every turn, and it seems that conventional weapons will not work against them. The key to your survival…? It’s you, or rather within yourself. Look inward, and reveal your true self. Your Persona.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Rules and Information']First the rules; all YCM advanced clause rules apply -no godmodding, powerplaying or metagaming- I assume you all know this but Mods in Black make me put in here anyway, because if you don’t somebody will break them and there will be anarchy in the streets. A character cannot be copy-pasted from another RP without being tailored to this one. All posts are expected to be of the required length, which is 4 lines, any less than that I will be forced to consider spam and ask you to lengthen it…. but we won’t have any problems because your all good, reasonable kids right….? No. Oh well I tried…. Also I say this now this RP is acceptance limited. Along with my own character, I will accepting 4-5 other participants in this RP depending on how many apply. Only one Wild Card character will be accepted, so if you are applying for that position please make this clear. No character will start off will their Persona, though the Wild Card character will get his or hers first, from there we will determine who gets there’s next. My character will be, for the first half of the RP, be playing the Teddie/Misturu type character until we get an actual analysis Persona who will be introduced later as a minor character, so only combat-type Personae please. Also this takes place in a different universe (you know the Amala network and dat shiz) from the Persona games, so no characters related to canon characters please.

Below is a list of available Personae. This game will not include "Ultimate Personae" so each character (bar the wild Card Character who can have up to 7) will only get 1 Persona. If one person chooses to pick one form of a Persona, any other forms of that Persona are barred from being used. If you use of the Personae below you must keep it the same Arcana as it was in its source material. The Fool Arcana is reserved for the Wild Card character since it represents a "jack-of-all-trades" which is what the Wild Card character is. Also the Universe and World Arcanas will be excluded since they've only ever had 1 Persona each and both were plot device Personas.

Optional)[/spoiler] [spoiler='Host App'] [Optional Picture of Character] “…” Name: Seiko Ishigama Age: 16 Gender: F Date of Birth: February 26th [spoiler='Appearance'] Seiko's appearance is very much doll-like, her wide eyes, pale skin and measly height of 5'3". Her slender figure and 112 lb weight don't help much either. Seiko's posture telegraphs her shyness, as the way she stands often makes her seem as small as possible. Not one for make-up she appears to others as very plain, and the fact that she has no outstanding or extremely attractive features makes her very unnoticeable. That being said she is by no means ugly, but rather just so ordinary that people seem to just pass over her. Seiko, very much keeping to her plain appearance, dresses in cool colors with a little black thrown in. Her red-purple hair is tied into a braid that extends to just past her breasts, the bangs being combed over to cover her left eye. She wears a tight deep blue sweater than is open on her trapezius, and open on the back about half-way. Seiko wears a black pleated skirt and deep blue high-top sneakers, which she keeps open at the top.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Personality']Seiko is best described as timid. Despite her timidity Seiko wishes to find someone who can truly understand and connect with her, feeling that her muteness makes her too different from everyone around her. This need for somebody else's approval and affections can make her extremely naive at times, and cloud her judgement of people. This also makes her very afraid of change and letting go, as she is able to easily build a strong relationship with someone, good-byes are not her strong suit, so losing something once she has it can devastate her. She's not all bad though when it comes to forming relationships, as her ability to quickly form strong relationships makes her fiercely loyal. Though this tends to make Seiko a little predictable, and in a life-or-death situation will place her friends life above that of her own. Despite this she will not recklessly through herself into danger, and will through her life away needlessly as she does still have a sense of self preservation. Being as trusting as she is Seiko will expect the same in return, and is not quick to take someone back should they betray her trust, almost to a vindictive sort of treatment, giving them a cold shoulder. Even though she can be quite timid, around close friends Seiko is quite cheery, and enjoys cracking jokes. A very empathetic young women, and picks up on the emotions of others either, and years of being mute has taught her how to "speak" to people by reading their expressions.

Much as Lakshmi was said to bring good luck and protect her worshippers from misery, reflects on how Seiko will go to great lengths to help and protect her friends. Lakshmi not only reflects Seiko herself, but her constant need for someone else's affections to feel that she belongs. This ties into Seiko's Arcana, the Aeon, and how members of this Arcana seek to understand the world around them, and their place within it. Seiko has been a mute since birth, and communicates on a wipeboard she carries around with her to communicate Instead of appearing on her body Seiko's Arcana appears on her wipeboard Seiko's Zodiac Sign is Pisces Her blood-type is AB+ [/spoiler] [spoiler='Accepted Apps'] [spoiler=Natsuame Takao] “Hey, don’t worry about me! It’s more painful to me to see others being hurt than for anything to actually happen directly to me.” Name: Natusame Takao [夏雨高尾] Age: 17 Gender: Male Date of Birth: July 7th Appearance: See the above picture for his basic appearance. However, not pictured is an X-shaped scar on the back of his left hand, and numerous small, criss-crossing scars on the undersides of his arms. Personality: Takao is a very kindhearted, altruistic individual, and as such has a very self-sacrificial personality, often sacrificing his own well-being for the sake of others. Takao is often very cheerful around other people, despite whatever situation he might be in — notably, he once smiled and laughed at a little girl’s jokes for several minutes after he saved her from an oncoming car and subsequently broke his arm, brushing off his injury as “just a little boo-boo.” He is a very friendly individual personality-wise, but he's never had any true friends, as part of him always seems distant... Considering Takao’s cheerful exterior around others, it’s rather startling to see him when he thinks no one else is watching…Takao is very self-deprecating and abusive, and he often insults and harms himself when he is alone. He often blames himself for not only his own but other peoples’ misfortunes, and therefore believes he deserves to be punished. He also spends a lot of time alone crying, and if anyone discovers him during one of these episodes, he will immediately try to cover up any evidence of his true personality, and will then attempt to do something to “make it up to” the other person.

Altair is known as Hikoboshi in Japan, and is central to the myth of the Tanabata festival — Hikoboshi is separated from his love, Orihime (or, the star Vega) by a grand river, which neither can cross. However, on the 7th month of the 7th day of the year, a flock of magpies forms a bridge, allowing them to come together. This is symbolic of Takao's will to be close to people, but his fear of rejection and isolation due to inadequacy holds him back most of the time. · The first day of Tanabata falls on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Japanese lunisolar calendar, which generally falls in August in the Gregorian calendar. However, if the date were based on the Gregorian calendar, it would fall on July 7th every year, which is Takao’s birthday. · Takao has a habit of loosening his tie when situations get intense, such as during battle. When he is nervous, however, he often fiddles with his tie, tightening it or adjusting its length. · Takao has a habit of making bad jokes and puns in an attempt to make others happy. When nobody laughs (which is most often what happens), he then laughs louder than usual at himself for how un-funny he was. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Arisu Arai] “What would you sacrifice to gain what you desire?” Name: Arisu Arai Age: 18 Gender: Female Date of Birth: July 3rd Weapon: Guns. [spoiler=Appearance] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality] Arisu is a prodigy, one of the most brilliant minds in her school. It might have to do with her being from a family of scholars, or with her gift and hardwork. She doesn’t mind it too much though, as she always prefers to be focused on her future, not her past. Though, despite her being a genius, she is an oddball at times, and due to her rarely attending school for various reasons with different scales of importance, she was not able to blast her way through the high school. And she had no intention to. Arrogant at times, she believed that school would only limit her ability to grow better, and thus, she viewed it as something unimportant. She never minded any of her failures much, as she is quite the optimistic person, believing that each failure will bring her one step closer to success. Or so she said. She's actually really afraid of failures, usually trying to avoid them as much as she can, and when she inevitably failed, it's usually enough to crush her spirit for quite a while. She absolutely refused to talk about her failures, and would always try to shift the conversation into another direction, preferably about her goals and vision for the future. She’s more of a research-based person rather than a by-the-book genius, and this is why she often skips class to do various experiments in the laboratory in her home. It was built by her parent's money, but she pretended that it was from her research money, to make herself looks like a young, independent woman. She might look a bit too nerdy and antisocial, but she’s quite friendly to others, as long as they does not disturb her when she’s doing something seriously. To others, she always put a mask of being the perfect prodigy that could think of anything and everything reliably, a down-to-earth genius, and someone that others could put their hopes on. She's in no way a perfect genius like that, but she always try to look grander than she was, all just to make herself feel better and to ease herself on her doubts on her ability.

Also, Fenghuang being related to the phoenix also alludes to Arisu’s persistence on keep trying when she failed, like a bird that rose from the ashes. Her Persona knowing Nuclear-based attacks instead of Almighty-based ones are mainly due to her fascination with nuclear energy as the lightsource in the future. Trivia: -Arisu is not native to Japan, and her original name is Alice. -She hates insects -Eventhough she’s having quite the knowledge about a lot of things, she often assumes the wrong thing due to her sometimes being too overconfident. -She really loves takoyaki. Notes about the Persona: -Nuclear/Heat Attacks has roughly the same property as Almighty attacks. -Holy Light/Nirvana/Judgment of Light(From Persona 2) are Light attacks, similar to Hama/Hamaon, but instead of instant kill chance, they do damage instead. Though Judgment of Light still has the instant kill chance. -Yes, Nuclear Missile is an actual skill. -Basically, an all-out magic-based Persona that can heal.

Sorry, but I'm simply following the script.” Name: Ishihara "Shingo" Miyazaki Age: 17 Gender:M Date of Birth: 21 December [spoiler=Appearance] See pic above. 165 cm tall, weighs 58 kgs. He usually dresses with bright colors, mostly pink, white and red. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Personality:] Ishihara, or Shingo as he prefers, was once a poor boy living with his unemployed, debt-ridden parents. He noticed at an early age that he was good at talking to people and acting, which, when combined with his natural good looks would make him a celebrity. However, he was constantly turned down by agencies. Desperate to escape his home and run away from his useless parents, Shingo turned to conning. He used his looks and acting skills to make people (especially girls of his age) to feel sorry for him and give him food and money. He constantly paraded himself as a poor innocent kid with nowhere to turn to, but in reality, he is cunning and manipulating. One day, a talent scout managed to see right past his acting and almost turned him in to the cops, but his acting skills impressed him so much he decided to give him a job in showbiz. At first, he started out as a minor character in a soap opera. Slowly he climbed up the entertainment ladder and became a top-level TV personality and actor, as well as a heart-throb to teenage girls everywhere. His fame led to him having an enormous ego and building a reputation of being a playboy. He retains his polite and charming way of speaking, but his manipulative traits still lingers. Not one to do something without underlying motives, Shingo often sweet-talks his way into getting out of trouble or getting what he wants. He gets easily angered when something doesn't go his way, but the years spent as an actor means he can sport an innocent smile no matter how frustrated he is. Despite his inner douchebag though, most of the time people see him just as a sweet, polite and generally charming girly boy who has a way with words.

Its faceless appearance coincides with how all of Shingo's expression are lies, and that there is nothing underneath his fake smile. Also, as the absolute keeper of death who will always find his way to take one's soul, this perfectly matches Shingo willingness to go to any lengths necessary to get what he wants. -Shingo speaks English really well thanks to his actor training. -Currently, he's in the middle of hosting a TV game show where a group of teen girls partake on a quiz to take him or the other guys from his agency on a date. -His favorite food is tuna of any kind. -Loves teh boob. A lot. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler='Raiko Mikazuki']Name: Raiko MikazukiAge: 17Gender: FDate of Birth: January 1st[spoiler=Appearance]Imagine that but with whatever the school uniform is.[/spoiler][spoiler=Personality] Raiko is a bit more assertive and tough than many people would expect from a typical high school girl. Even in her early childhood, she was annoyed by the exceedingly conservative beliefs and values her family had and, maturing, let that annoyance grow into more of a disgust. Because she lived in an environment with very little freedom, she has a strong dislike for people who are afraid of progress or change for the better. She does not believe that certain people should be forced to do certain things, and hates when people bully others into situations they are not comfortable with. But, because she has learned a more liberal world view from opposing her family and is against the notion of many obligations, she is friendly in the way that she will banter about anything with anybody lightheartedly, taking practice into much more consideration than theory so that even if she finds somebody she very much disagrees with, she will not mind their beliefs as long as they do not become a major detriment to themselves or others around them.She very often thinks of the future and contemplates what it COULD be and not what it is obligated to be, thinking that the only entity who should be able to decide one's future is oneself, a belief she may hold on to extreme amounts.Her assertiveness was bred by her opposition to her family in that, rather than trying to be a clean, quiet, dainty angel of a woman, she has intentionally caused herself to get into fights in the past and still is not afraid of speaking up, these things often out of a hidden desire not to fall victim to the destiny she fears her family preordained for her. While she does much of this out of fear, she, however, has genuinely grown assertive and has experience in combat. Nothing formal as much as dirty, but the many experiences she has had by ignoring her family and questioning/adventuring has made her very good at empathizing with people by comparing how they must feel to any of her experiences.In terms of people and dealing with them, she usually considers herself a bit of a protector to people she becomes fond of. Due to the image of what a good lady should be that her family tried to force her into, she has grown hesitant of asking for help and tries to deal with problems herself unless she really sees no way out of them herself. Otherwise, she is very open-minded to all kinds of people with a very strong "live and let live" motif behind her own attitude.She also has a bit of a free spirit that she feels as a release from the shackles of her past. If she can either explore an interesting, abandoned area or attend some kind of party, she would probably explore the area. Or, rather, the sort of person who would be very fine with breaking rules as long as there was no significant damage dealt, or skipping classes to do as she pleases as long as she knew the class was not too important.Which is not to say she is an idiot, however. While she is not capable of reciting complex mathematical formulae, her experiences and general curiosity have taught her many things, the hands-on aspect giving her a bit of a different information pool compared to merely studying something.[/spoiler][spoiler=Persona] Skuld (Fool)Skills: Cleave, Bash, Agi, Resist SlashSkill Level Ups: 1.

Skuld is one of three important Valkyrie who is responsible for deciding the fate of all men and gods. Skuld is also, as a Valkyrie, very capable of holding her own in a fight. The trio she is part of is also known for even refusing Odin's commands and doing as they please regardless of him, never facing actual repercussions for it, often by virtue of their own power. She is also the youngest of not only that trio, but of all twelve valkyrie. In terms of the character's symbolism:-Her name, Raiko Mikazuki, means "next child of the new moon;" representing her strong belief in progress and change. Intentionally contrary to her family's beliefs.-Her date of birth, January 1st, is the beginning of the new year and, like her name, signifies progress and, to many, a new start.-Skuld has strong ties with controlling destiny, something Raiko believes only the self should control. Like Skuld's being a valkyrie, Raiko is a woman with strong combat capabilities.-While Skuld controls the destinies of others, she is also fully willing to do as she wishes regardless of Odin's wrath or perceived authority, as Raiko tries to create her own future no matter what her actual family would try to indoctrinate.-More importantly, Skuld is the youngest of her group. Youth generally signifies naivety, innocence, curiosity and being adventurous. Her Arcana, the Fool, often represents these things, as well as, similarly to Skuld controlling the destiny of all beings, the Fool encompasses everything, while similarly to Raiko who believes destiny is self-determined, Skuld's universal control could be seen as the nothingness the Fool also signifies.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [/spoiler] OP: Best Friends - Yumi Kawamura ED: Never More - Shiroku Hirata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Alright, I intend to have an application in sometime soon (as in, before Monday, if all goes right). I'm assuming that when you say "basic skills," you're referring to skills of the caliber that Yosuke and Yukari started with, correct? Or would we be able to go up to, say...Yukiko/Akihiko level, with 1 Ma- skill? Also, on level-up skills: how many should we have, and when should we expect to gain "levels"? Also, may we have a unique skill or a severe skill for our final level-up skill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 You're correct with the first one basically: Cleave, Garu, Agi, Zio, Bufu, & the basic buffers Also good to see you back Dharc ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome. And thanks as well for the clarification.

a bad post Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 After major events or battles I'll give you a certain number of skill points to distribute and you'll be allowed to unlock your next skill. Severe skills will be allowed for your final level-up yes. I'll post the one I have for my character's Persona soon so that you can see what I mean.

a bad post Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Alright, thank you very much. I'm almost done with my app in that case; just need to determine how my Persona, Altair, is going to grow. Oops, I misworded that wrong, because of my own stupidity, I forgot that Megidolaon, and physical attacks have severe attacks as well is a severe spell as well, so technically that means that your allowed 1 elemental severe spell, + Megidolaon + 1 severe physical attack should you so choose. Again my apologies. Also, I say prepare about 25 - 30 level-ups, cause I'm still counting how many level-up events I'll be having, so yeah.

Spartan919 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'll start working on an application as soon as I can! I hope I can keep up well enough without having any experience/knowledge about the games/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Alright, gonna run this by you to see if it's okay... My character's Persona, Altair, has NO physical moves whatsoever, not even Bash or Cleave. I also have his elemental skills going up to -dyne level, so no severe elemental skill. Additionally, I gave him Hama attacks and Megido and Megidola, but not Megidolaon or Samsara. May he have Morning Star as a sort of "ultimate skill?" If not, that's okay, and I'll replace it with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'd like to see his skill level ups, but I don't see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Here, might as well post the character app I have so far, since I put the level-up list out. [spoiler=Natsuame Takao] “Hey, don’t worry about me! It’s more painful to me to see others being hurt than for anything to actually happen directly to me.” Name: Natusame Takao [夏雨高尾] Age: 17 Gender: Male Date of Birth: July 7th Appearance: See the above picture for his basic appearance. However, not pictured is an X-shaped scar on the back of his left hand, and numerous small, criss-crossing scars on the undersides of his arms. Personality: Takao is a very kindhearted, altruistic individual, and as such has a very self-sacrificial personality, often sacrificing his own well-being for the sake of others. Takao is often very cheerful around other people, despite whatever situation he might be in — notably, he once smiled and laughed at a little girl’s jokes for several minutes after he saved her from an oncoming car and subsequently broke his arm, brushing off his injury as “just a little boo-boo.” He is a very friendly individual personality-wise, but he's never had any true friends, as part of him always seems distant... Considering Takao’s cheerful exterior around others, it’s rather startling to see him when he thinks no one else is watching…Takao is very self-deprecating and abusive, and he often insults and harms himself when he is alone. He often blames himself for not only his own but other peoples’ misfortunes, and therefore believes he deserves to be punished. He also spends a lot of time alone crying, and if anyone discovers him during one of these episodes, he will immediately try to cover up any evidence of his true personality, and will then attempt to do something to “make it up to” the other person. [spoiler=Persona] Persona: Altair (Star) Skills: Garu, Dia, Rakukaja, Endure Skill Level Ups: 1. Media 2. Garula 3. Hama 4. Magaru 5. Diarama 6. Marakukaja 7. Wind Boost 8. Magarula 9. Mediarama 10. Mahama 11. Mind Charge 12. Megido 13. Recarm 14. Hama Boost 15. Recarmdra 16. Garudyne 17. Hamaon 18. Diarahan 19. Magarudyne 20. Megidola 21. Enduring Soul 22. Samarecarm 23. Mahamaon 24. Wind Amp 25. Null Dark 26. Salvation 27. Morning Star 28. Victory Cry 29. Magic Skill Up Resistances: {Slash: -- /Strike: -- /Pierce: -- /Fire: Weak /Ice: -- /Elec: -- /Wind: Null /Water: -- /Earth: Resist /Light: Null /Dark: Weak} Stats: {2/4/2/2/2} [/spoiler] Weapon: Katana/Longsword Other: Takao's true personality appears to represent the inverted Star Arcana — a sense of hopelessness, self-loathing, depression, and a fear of being alone — mixed with the attributes of the upright star — altruism, faith, loyalty, and generosity. Altair is known as Hikoboshi in Japan, and is central to the myth of the Tanabata festival — Hikoboshi is separated from his love, Orihime (or, the star Vega) by a grand river, which neither can cross. However, on the 7th month of the 7th day of the year, a flock of magpies forms a bridge, allowing them to come together. This is symbolic of Takao's will to be close to people, but his fear of rejection and isolation due to inadequacy holds him back most of the time. · The first day of Tanabata falls on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Japanese lunisolar calendar, which generally falls in August in the Gregorian calendar. However, if the date were based on the Gregorian calendar, it would fall on July 7th every year, which is Takao’s birthday. · Takao has a habit of loosening his tie when situations get intense, such as during battle. When he is nervous, however, he often fiddles with his tie, tightening it or adjusting its length. · Takao has a habit of making bad jokes and puns in an attempt to make others happy. When nobody laughs (which is most often what happens), he then laughs louder than usual at himself for how un-funny he was. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can I use a Dark/Almighty based persona? Obv they'll start with Mudo + Some scrubby support skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah that's fine. Don't feel we all have to have different elements if we have some overlap I don't mind Oh right, Dharc could you chose a Persona you'd like for the Wild Card's Star S. Link.

Maeriberii Haan Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can I use a Water/Earth/Nuclear based Persona, like in Persona 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hmm, there's a lot to choose from...I'd say Helel, if I have to pick a canon Persona. If not, then perhaps I could suggest Vega, another star in the Summer Triangle, and the star Orihime of the Tanabata myth and festival is based on. I'd help the Fool user create that one if we're doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can I use a Water/Earth/Nuclear based Persona, like in Persona 2? I'd like to keep this to the Persona 3/4 skill sets, but since I'm letting people use Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment Personas I don't see why not Hmm, there's a lot to choose from...I'd say Helel, if I have to pick a canon Persona. If not, then perhaps I could suggest Vega, another star in the Summer Triangle, and the star Orihime of the Tanabata myth and festival is based on. I'd help the Fool user create that one if we're doing that. You do not have to choose from canon Personas, but I'd like for you to give your Persona an appearance (I'm sorry I did not make that clear in the app section), if its an image I'd like it to be Persona-ish looking [spoiler='Doing a sketch for my character'] I'd did the contour line, though I would like to get your guys opinion on it so far.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah, I know, I've been hunting for one on Mazeran's official site. I think that, simply because I can't find one that would use lightning, I'll change his elemental attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe Garu spells, though I could always help you find one, mazeran isn't the only place to look for persona-like art. Found some good stuff on DeviantArt, if you'd like to search there.
