Persona RP Discussion

[Azer Kriemhild]

THE NEW CHARACTER SLOTS HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST, BUT AUDITIONS ARE ONCE AGAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Ha ha! The first RP of 2009 (for those of us on the East Coast ). Happy New Year everyone, and may it be a darn sight better than the last one! Now, KittyKatStar and I present to you for your entertainment pleasure, the Persona RP!

NOTICE: There have been some changes to the character creation process, specifically regarding Personae, so take a look (or re-look, as the case may be).

---Story---

The game takes place in the city of Kasaku, and Shizuka Kaigan High School. A popular and well-funded school, students with means or scholarships travel from all over the country to attend, as graduation from Shizuka Kaigan means almost certain acceptance into any choice of the top universities.

Though tuition is certainly a concern, housing expenses for those not native to Kasaku are an even bigger concern. Dreamtime, headquartered in Kasaku, has made a generous donation to Shizuka Kaigan and has constructed a small dorm where students who are willing to participate in one of their sleep studies can live for free, if they meet Dreamtime's specifications.

If accepted into the study, students living at the dorm will be required to use a simple machine every night that will record their brainwaves, an attempt to get a deeper understanding of the effects of school stresses on the quality of a student's sleep.

The story starts on Sunday April 3rd, just a few days before the school year. Here, the dorms are now open to the students and everyone is starting to arrive. These dorms will be their home for a year. Will something exciting happen during their stay…?

---Rules---

KittyKatStar and I created this RP together, so PM your profiles to both of us; we’ll assign you your classroom and dorm room # (you can pick a preference, but first come, first served)

•No god-modding, killing, or controlling other characters without permission or discussion.

•Respect all players

•State your character’s name, and location in each post

•Do not drastically change the plot – if you have an idea PM us.

•dl.oku: ALL GUYS MUST SHOW THEIR NAVELS

•Do not abuse Social Linking. Social Linking is where you interact with others, and involves scenarios where you get to know them better as friends or even lovers. This is NOT social linking:

Random person: Do you have the time?
Character: It’s 3:45.
Thou art I... and I am thou...
Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Magician Arcana.

Remember the higher the social link the longer and more interaction it’ll take to get there.

•Since this is a social RP, there will a lot of conversations, dialogue, group gatherings, etc. If there is a lengthy conversation involved try to combine the posts with other participants to save page space. I.e. if there will be a 5 minute one-on-one conversation between characters PM the participant or use Google Docs to create a post covering their conversation. That way the conversation won’t take multiple posts.

•Most important rule of all – have fun!

---Shizuka Kaigan High School---

(Note: it is not 100% accurate to a typical Japanese school system to help keep things simple and not overly complicated.)

Basic layout, the school is three stories, one floor for each grade (year 1 on bottom, year 3 on top). We won’t be listing each individual room and feel free to add details to the school layout if needed.

This is the school everyone will be attending. School goes Monday to Friday with a half-day on Saturday. There are a total of 12 subjects to learn. Most of the time it’s the teachers that move from room to room and not the students except PE and home economics.

Here is the school schedule:

8:20 - 8:35 Homeroom (Registration)
8: 45 – 9:35 – period 1
9: 45 – 10: 35 – period 2
10: 45 – 11:35 – period 3
11:45 – 12:35 – period 4
12:35- 1:15 - lunch
1:25 – 2:15 – period 5
2:25 – 3:15 – period 6
3:25 - 3:35 A short homeroom

School over at 1:15
Clubs: 1:25 to 4:25 pm (not past 5)

Each classroom will have its own timetable divided into Block A and B and will be PMed to each character. (Feel free to update it into their profile for easy access.)

The subjects taught are: Japanese Language, Math, English, Biology, Social Studies, PE, Chemistry, Geology, Art, Physics, World History, and Japanese Creative Writing. In year 3 Japanese Creative Writing is replaced by Home Economics – and students can choose from sewing, cooking, and home repairs (basic electronics, plumbing etc).

School uniforms:
http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/1555/uniformskp9.jpg
Uniform consists: Black jacket, long-sleeved yellow sweater, long-sleeved white shirt with collar, black skirt or pants, trendy tie with off-center red stripes, and black socks. In the summer the jacket/sweater is usually shed, people wear short-sleeved shirts. Of course people may modify the outfit to suit their individual creativity.

---Dreamtime Dorm---

Dreamtime Dorm is a special dorm for all participates that accepted their invitation. Due to the sleep state research all guests should leave by 8 PM. The researchers recommend going to bed between 9-11 PM and if the students take anything that may influence their sleep state (i.e. caffeine) it should be written in their sleep journal. The sleep monitors are simple wireless headbands and wristbands filled with sensors that track REM waves and pulse, etc. When not in use they should be recharged/plugged in.
Anyone that keeps breaking these guidelines will be warned, and subsequently evacuated. It’s okay if you happen to forget once, or lost track of time, etc, but they want consistent data, especially since they’re offering free room and board.
The maintenance of the Dreamtime Dorm is handled by Atena Karin, who visits every Saturday to collect the data and make notes on what in the kitchen needs resupplying, etcetera.

---Locations---

These are the locations scattered throughout Kasaku. We kept the details vague to encourage creativity and feel free to add your own details to each location. With the subway and train stations you can travel between each location in 30 minutes or less. The Dreamtime dorms and High School are 10 minutes apart by train, or 60 seconds by Kirsa’s car.

Atsumari Mall – A large indoors mall with multiple clothing stores, appliance and electronics stores, an arcade, and a movie theatre. The food court features a large variety of fast-food restaurants and is a hot spot among local teens.

Kasaku Beach – A large expanse of beach along the shore of Kasaku. While it doesn’t see much use in the winter months, Kasaku is a popular destination in the warm season, especially during summer break.

Ayumui – The boardwalk and pier at Kasaku beach, there are a small number of niche stores and a cheap arcade. The real attraction is a hanging gondola ride that starts at the base of the pier and goes all the way out to the end and back, as well as a huge ferris wheel.

Mushiburo Resort – Located high on the Koji Mountain on the outskirts of Kasaku, Mushiburo is a moderately expensive resort featuring several onsen baths as well as a ski lodge for winter sporting. Mushiburo is only open during the winter months, but is very popular for those who can afford to go.

Shiraume Shrine – A Shinto shrine run by the Shiraume clan, it is the largest such shrine in Kasaku and hosts events for many holidays both religious and festival. The grounds are well maintained and is generally very quiet, and while the devout still come to pray, many others come to study outdoors at the shrine or in the surrounding park, and the shrine welcomes all with open arms.

Akushoku Mall – This strip mall used to be a popular hangout spot until the construction of the Atsumari Mall. Since then it and the surrounding neighborhood have fallen on hard times, and the whole area has a reputation of being unsafe. There are some strange stores still thriving there though, including a movie/game rental store, an arts and crafts store, and an antiques store.

The Meter Room – A strange nightclub that has a reputation for attracting all manner of people. Or at least, all manner of people that would come to a strange nightclub with a reputation for attracting all manner of people. They’ve gone on notice many times for serving alcohol to minors, but the management seems to think the added income outweighs the occasional fine.

Eighteen, Two Eighty-eight - A recently-opened bowling alley whose primary attraction is their "Midnight Bowling" where they darken the building and illuminate the lanes by black light.

Kiyoiki – The largest, most technologically advanced hospital in the region. Like most hospitals and clinics in the area, Kiyokiki is all but owned by primary stockholder Toriyama Pharma Inc.

Kasaku Starlight Dome - Kasaku's local planetarium, the Starlight Dome is a frequent destination for both school field trips and for couples looking to spend some time together underneath the stars without all the bother of heading up into the hills outside the city and finding a clearing to lay in.

Dreamtime Headquarters – The company building dedicated to promoting better sleep quality with its medications and research. Authorized personnel only.

---Social Links---
Social links are the bonds you form from interacting with others. By socializing you get to know people, develop your relationship, and become friends or even lovers. In this RP social linking will simply strengthen your persona and may even gain new skills. For the Wild Card player, it’ll give you access to stronger personas.

If you started a social link with another character, you can post the information on your profile page to keep track. Make sure both you and the person you’re social linking with agree before PMing us as we have the final say.

And remember the higher the social link the longer and more interaction it’ll take to get there.

For the sake of clarification, a list!

Level 1: Friendly Terms - more than just a smile and nod in passing, Level 1 S.Links mean your characters are making an effort to get to know one another a little better.
Level 2: Friends - getting along and hanging out from time to time, Level 2 S.Links put your characters at a level where they'd invite each other to hang out after school or go to a party.
Level 3: Good Friends/Friends with Benefits - always hanging out together and willing to 'lend a hand' with each others' problems, Level 3 S.Links means your characters really enjoy each others company and hang out quite frequently.
Level 4: Close Friends/Dating - close enough to know and trust with each others' secrets, at Level 4, your characters have genuine concern for one another and care what the other thinks of them a great deal.
Level 5: Best Friends/Lovers (not the Arcana ) - close enough to know the other's darkest secrets, and be willing to put anything and everything on the line for their sake, at Level 5 S.Links, well...this one is pretty self explanatory.

Thou art I... and I am thou...

Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the ____ Arcana.

[Azer Kriemhild]

For examples and for my actual use, these are my character profiles. Again, please PM your profile(s) to KittyKatStar and I for approval (and completion) before posting them here. Do feel free to post any questions you might have beforehand though.

Name: Shiraume Makoto
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Height: 6'0"
Grade: 12
Classroom #: 3C
Dorm Room: Bedroom 1A
Preferred Weapon: Yumi (Japanese bow)
Appearance: PICTURE
Makoto has amber-colored eyes and silvery-white hair, and a slightly fair complexion. While physically strong, his height makes him look somewhat on the lean side (and people often tend to underestimate his strength). He dresses very conservatively, wearing a plain, forest green jacket with two zippered breast pockets, a skin-tight black t-shirt and black slacks and shoes.
Personality: Makoto has very few enemies, and while he doesn't have an especially outgoing personality, he is incredibly friendly with everyone he meets and can be kind to a fault at times. Still, there are very few people he would actually call 'friend,' as he knows most of his classmates are only friendly with him because he's always willing to lend a hand. Because of this, though he almost always wears a smile even in the darkest of situations, he can occasionally be found on a rooftop or gazing out a window at the sky, looking almost forlorn.
History: Makoto comes from a line of Shinto priests who have managed the Shiraume Shrine for centuries. According to tradition, as the firstborn son, it is Makoto's duty to become a Shinto priest himself and take over the shrine in the stead of his father. While he has certainly inherited the family's zeal for helping others, he feels shrines are becoming little more than ceremonial sites and talisman stores for the superstitious. Instead, he wants to become a psychologist and help people with their troubles that way, but this dream is hindered by the fact that his father refuses to pay for college.
Other: Makoto has been a member of the Shizuka Kaigan Student Council since his first year, as part of his desire to help others. Though he has been nominated for president in the past, he has always declined the nomination for fear he would be unable to make the difficult decisions that are sometimes necessary. He has worked closely with his homeroom teachers as well as the school's guidance councilor as a sort of substitute councilor for students who didn't feel comfortable confiding in an adult.
He is also the captain of the school's Kyudo (Archery) Club.

Persona: Cybele
Arcana: The Lovers
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Cybele appears as a winged goddess with long blonde hair that reaches almost down to her knees at the back. She has dark green eyes, and a sky blue, spherical crystal imbedded in her forehead. A glowing gold halo appears over her head when first summoned or when casting a spell. She wears a long, dark violet, sleeveless dress covered partially (particularly around the torso) with armor of silver, black and gold. There are detached, violet sleeves over which bits of similar armor are worn, along with arm guards that seem to magically hover over her arms. She wields a long silver spear with shorter curved blades at either side of the spearhead, slightly detached but magically connected like her shoulder armor.
Persona Type: Cybele is primarily a healer, though she has a few physical attacks as well as Almighty spells.
Persona Element: Physical/Almighty
Persona Skill List:

• Phalanx - Cybele hardens Makoto's physical defense automatically in the beginning of battle.
• Potnia Theron - Cybele can scan the enemy to reveal weaknesses, though this takes time and she cannot attack or defend during this time.
• Taurobolium - A blood rain comes down from the heavens and heals all allies with medium effect.
• Doratismos - Multiple, rapid attacks with Cybele's spear, dealing light physical damage.
• Pyrriche - Cybele pierces her opponent with her spear, dealing light physical damage with a chance of charming the stricken foe.
• Phaeton - Cybele rains down heavenly light that deals medium almighty damage to all enemies.

--------------------

Name: Renka 'Keikoku' Kirsa
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'9"
Grade: 11
Classroom #: 2F
Dorm Room: Bedroom 4E
Preferred Weapon: Tanto
Appearance: PICTURE
Kirsa has very light blue-green eyes and long hair dyed a deep shade of purple. She dresses casually in a loose-fitting white halter top with a black blazer over it (usually with the sleeves rolled up just shy of her elbows), tight, dark blue jeans with a white somewhat lacy belt, and dark brown leather boots that come a few inches short of her knees. She wears a thick black wristband with a thin red stripe in the middle on her left arm. She also wears two necklaces, one of average length and one really long one, with a ring and a cross hanging from them, respectively.
Personality: Kirsa is a firm believer in the "if you ain't livin', you're dyin'" school of life. She's very active and energetic, sometimes contagiously so, but she also tends to be reckless and impulsive. This and her tendency to be bluntly honest with people have given her a selfish and self-centered reputation. Though she doesn't like it, she fears the alternative of allowing herself to show concern and grow attached to others.
History: Kirsa is the daughter of a Japanese mother and a German father, and though she was born and raised in Japan, she grew up ostracized and is still occasionally treated as a gaijin. Her father never married her mother, and has since moved back to Germany, though he does send them more than enough money to live on and keeps in frequent contact with Kirsa, if not her mother - a sentiment she can share as she feels closer with him than she does with her. Still the physical difference between them and the emotional distance between Kirsa and her mother have left her fiercely independent.
Other: Kirsa is the lead guitarist/vocalist in the popular J-Rock band called "Flame Bang Riot," under the pseudonym of "Keikoku," and has achieved a lot of fame as a result, though she rarely ever indulges in her celebrity. Still, between her father's stipends and her own income, she is considerably wealthy. She drives her own car, a silver Mercedes C63 AMG Black, which she uses to compete in local Gymkhana competitions.

Persona: Lorelei
Arcana: Empress
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Lorelei appears as a almost lizardlike humanoid with shoulder-length white hair and eyebrows the only hair on her body - her skin is actually composed of very fine scales. Her coloring is very distinctive: dark grey for the most part, with a very light grey 'underbelly' that runs up to and over her nose and mouth but stops short of her pitch black eyes. There are strange, black, arrow-like markings that segment her tail in six, and also appear on her arms and legs, one above and below each elbow and the same for the knees, and one on each of her long ears. She is scantily clad in a black and white patterned tube-top bikini, and wields a strange scythe whose blade seems to be composed of magically static water.
Persona Type: Lorelei acts as a buffer/debuffer, using her songs to strengthen allies or hinder opponents, though she can also attack with her scythe.
Persona Element: technically water, but for the purposes of strengths and weaknesses, ice; also slashing.
Persona Skill List:

• Call of the Siren - Lorelei's song has a chance of charming all enemies.
• Dirge of the Mariner - Lorelei's song has a chance of inflicting fear and/or distress on all enemies.
• Battle Hymn - Lorelei's song raises the attack of all allies and lowers the defense of all enemies.
• Harvest Scything - Lorelei swings her scythe in a wide arc, dealing light physical damage to all enemies.
• Howling Gale - Lorelei swirls her scythe over her head, summoning a whirlwind that deals medium wind damage to all enemies.
• Downpour - Lorelei calls down a rainstorm, dealing medium water (ice) damage to all enemies.
  

--------------------

Name: Atsuko Kazumi
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5'6"
Grade: 12
Classroom #: 3C
Dorm Room: Bedroom 4A
Preferred Weapon: Pistol
Appearance: PICTURE
Kazumi has dark blue eyes and raven black hair, which she's been letting grow out recently. She still dresses fairly plainly, but is a bit more conservative in what she wears, paying a bit more attention to style and a bit less to practicality. She still wears no jewelry or accessories that indicate any sort of personality, and though the discrepancy between her age and grade make it obvious that she's very intelligent, her taut abs and well-toned muscles hint that there's more to her than just school.
Personality: Kazumi has been to many different schools and has always alienated everyone from her within the first few days of her transferring. She is incredibly cold to most everyone she meets and only slightly less cold to those few who manage to earn her respect. Most people attribute her attitude to her intelligence and believe she thinks she's too good for everyone else. She thus has a reputation of being haughty and completely heartless, and she does nothing to refute this, though the truth is something far different.
History: Kazumi is, according to her parents and many people who are too well paid to think otherwise, an Indigo Child. As an Indigo Child, she was always both intelligent and wise for her age, and she had unusually strong empathic connections to those around her. These empathic connections only grew stronger with age, and she was forced to learn techniques for emotional detachment, or 'shielding.' For most of her childhood she was taught by private teachers specially trained to handle the needs of Indigo Children, until she eventually insisted on being placed into the public school system. Unfortunately, her shielding made it nearly impossible for her to fit in, and she found herself changing from school to school in search of...something. Finally, she came to Shizuka Kaigan High School. Here, though she still had difficulty fitting in, she was recognized for her intelligence and ability to face difficult problems with cold, unflinching logic and was nominated president of the Student Council.

Persona: Malphas
Arcana: Devil
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Malphas appears as a sort of anthromorphic crow complete with large wings sprouting from its back, though his neck and head seem more otherworldy than anything else. He is donned entirely in black feathers, with two white eyes that seem to glow like moonlight. He wears a long skirt tied at the waist with an intricately knotted sash.
Persona Type: Malphas is a light attacker with a bit of wind and status magic mixed in.
Persona Element: Physical attacks; weakness in Light.
Persona Skill List:

• Collapse - Malphas lowers an opponent's physical defense greatly.
• Black Adornment - Malphas plucks feathers from his person and flicks them at an opponent, dealing physical damage.
• Gale Wind - Malphas flaps his wings powerfully, dealing wind damage to all foes.
• High Tower - Malphas raises Kazumi's physical defense greatly.

Happy New Year's everyone! ^^ The profiles we posted might not be 100% consistent with the profile layout we have for everyone since we changed it over and over during the RP creation. So there might be last-minute changes to my profiles, but here's my characters.

Name: Toriyama Hideki
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5’10
Grade: year 3
Classroom #: 3-A
Dorm Room: Bedroom 2A
Preferred Weapon: Can’t fight.

Appearance: Hideki stands around 5’10 with perfect posture, and is very lean. He has short black hair with a few strands hanging over his brown eyes, and wears thin black half-rimmed glasses. Even when not in school he wears formal clothing. He doesn’t look particularly strong.

Personality: Hideki is a diligent, meticulous, person bearing lots of responsibility and pressure. He is very reliable, reserved and loves organization. He may not be the most charismatic person, but many people can depend on him, his dedication and admire his ability to methodize and tackle problems. He can come off as a perfectionist, always pushing himself and others. He’s tough but fair and has gained the respect of many people in school.

Although he tries to be patient, he can get easily frustrated around lazy, immature, or annoying people. He’s not the party or ‘fun’ type, and prefers to study or read. He also loves computers and technology in general. He is one of the top students in school and is a member of the student council and class representative of 3-A. He also has a hard time saying ‘no’ (or if he does, it’s quickly overturned), and easily can get dragged into situations. Although he tries to maintain a cool air of calm and collectivity around him, he can lose his temper if his buttons are pushed just right.

History: Hideki was born and lived in Kasaku all his life in a well-off family that owns the third largest pharmaceutical company (Toriyama Pharma Inc.) in Japan specializing from cold medicines, ibuprofen, sleeping medicine, to antihistamines etc. They also have other branches such as a hotel chain, and own the hospitals in the city. However, because he was the 2nd son, his older brother, Takashi, was expected to inherit the company along with their eldest cousins. The pressure and expectations fell on Takashi, although Hideki wasn’t entirely spared. From an early age Hideki studied, and went to cram schools starting at the age of 8, to live up to his father’s expectations. When he wasn’t studying, he had a knack for drawing and started to realize his dream of becoming an artist or having something to do with animation.

When Takashi graduated he was accepted to study overseas in one of the top universities, however Takashi, sick of the stress and having his life chosen for him, decided to not return and take over the company. This choice strained the Toriyama family, and all the responsibilities and expectations were placed on Hideki much to his dismay. He became bitter toward his brother for abandoning his responsibility. However he is still close to his younger sister, Akimi, who is 10 years old.

Due to his strict upbringing, Hideki never really had many friends or socialized much outside his family and their business partners. When he received the Dreamtime invitation he accepted it much to his father’s disapproval. Hideki thought living in the dorms would give him a chance to experience a real social life, and to be away from his family for a little while.

Due to his family’s successful business and reputation many people know him. Also being one of the top students in Shizuka Kaigan High School (and throughout middle school) has boosted his popularity. The Toriyama Pharma Inc. company is currently owned by his dad and two uncles.

Other: Hideki’s hobbies include reading, computers, drawing (dreaming to be a graphic designer), writing, studying, and playing computer games. He is also a talented violinist, a decent snowboarder, and a skilled dancer (waltz, etc, but he doesn't brag about his dancing skills.)

Persona: Thoth

Arcana: Magician

Persona’s appearance: Thoth appears as a man with the head of an ibis, with a moon disk held above his head. He is holding parchment made of papyrus in one hand, and a thin sharp reed in the other.
Persona Type: Thoth is a fully supportive persona that can analyze data and communicate with others; he has no attacks. However he is able to jot down items on his paper and distribute the writing, which can vanish by Hideki’s will.

Persona Element: Dark

Persona’s weakness: light

Persona skill list:
Detect: Can pinpoint where people and shadows are, where they’re going, etc.
Full Analysis: Analyze an enemy’s weakness and strength and what skills it possess.
Telepathy: Able to communicate with other persona users.
Barrier: Thoth can create a circular glass-like barrier that can stop an attack, physical or magical (doesn't work against status ailments). However the spell can tire Hideki out quite fast, so he has to decide whether it's worth using, and it can only protect himself and those next to him. Also if the attack is too powerful, it can easily break the shield. He can use it offensively, which acts as a spinning slicer on the ground. However it's hard to control, and causes damage in its path, so he uses it as a last resort.
Support Scan: Finds if there’s any de/buffers on the foe.
Third Eye: Can detect whether an attack will be blocked, repelled, or absorbed.
Escape Route: Able to teleport members to his location. (learns later)

--

Name: Erihana Avalon
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 4’10
Grade: Year 1
Classroom #: 1-C
Dorm Room: Bedroom 4F
Preferred Weapon: Baseball bat

Appearance: Avalon is a short flat scrawny teen that can be mistaken for someone younger and is of European descent. She stands at 4’10, and has a childish aura about her. Despite all that she is athletic and physically strong from her love of sports. Her skin is slightly tanned from being outside often, has blonde hair of natural mixed tones and has green eyes. Her hair has bangs that taper just above her eyes, and her hair has two distinctive layers. The shortest layer stops around the base of her head, and it’s naturally lighter in colour while the darker layer brushes her shoulders. She usually likes to tie the first layer up into high side pigtails, and leave the front strands framing her face. When not wearing her school uniform she usually wears shorts and a bright red short-sleeved t-shirt. Avalon wears no jewelry and doesn’t have her ears pierced.

Personality: Avalon is typically seen grinning ear to ear. She’s exuberant, dynamic, loud, and easily excited. Although she usually shows a lot of zest, she can lose interest at the drop of a hat and be off doing something new. She has a poor attention span, easily distracted, and absentminded. She loves having fun, thinks of everything as a game, and is naturally curious. If she wants to do something, she’ll do it. She’s social, outgoing, honest, and loves cheering people up.

She also has a softer side, although oblivious to romance for the most part, and can become bashful or shy depending on the social situation. She becomes easily attached to people, which makes it easy to manipulate her or take advantage of her trust.

However, due to her lighthearted personality, she hates being serious and can come off as immature or childish. She’s not the most responsible person, and doesn’t usually think ahead or about the consequences. She’s not good with personal issues, and brushes off anything she doesn’t want to confront, and avoids it. However if she angers someone, she immediately apologizes because she’s scared of being excluded. Her greatest fear is being alone or disliked by everyone.

Avalon is athletic and loves sports and activity. Her favourite sport is soccer (offensive midfielder), but she also plays volleyball and baseball (right fielder) in her spare time.

History: Avalon was born in California, in LA, and was the youngest of four sisters. At the age of 4 her biological parents got divorced so Avalon retained the mother’s surname Sinclair. The sisters would periodically visit between both parents since they both had a separate home in LA.

Eventually her mom, who was an English teacher, fell in love with a Japanese teacher at the university they taught. They got married two years later and Erihana Daisuke became their new stepfather.
Due to all the shuffling and family events Avalon felt ignored and would often do anything to get attention, especially since her mother (Colleen) and new stepfather were workaholics.

When she was 8, her mother got a job offering to teach English in Japan at Osaka University. Avalon’s older sisters (Jessica, 14; Claire, 16; May 19) decided to stay with their father in LA as they already established friendships but Avalon insisted to be with her mother since she was excited about the thought of being an ‘only child’. Also she would be able to adapt to the Japanese culture faster than her older sisters.

However Avalon stood out from her peers by her appearance, poor communication skills, and was ostracized in school for being a gaijin. She would often act up in class to get noticed. Despite the difficulties adjusting, she put all her effort into making friends and managed to carve a small niche for herself. She also became popular in English class (her only good class.)

Sadly her poor grades did not reflect well on her parents – who, again, were usually too busy to spend time with her and it limited her high school opportunities. Fortunately she received a letter from a company called Dreamtime to send her to Shizuka Kaigan High School for free. Excited, she jumped on the chance and convinced her parents to send her to Kasaku.

Due to her living in Osaka, she picked up some of the Kansai dialect, especially from her father.

Other: She’s currently in the soccer club so but she also loves baseball and volleyball and dislikes the 'one sports club only' rule. Also, since she was left alone at home often since moving to Japan she has learned how to cook and loves cooking for others. She’s also not a bad singer, and loves karaoke nights. Avalon collects mecha figures, loves fighting and RPG video games, and cheesy action shows.

Due to an earthquake incident as a child, which resulted in being trapped under rubble, she is extremely scared of dark and enclosed spaces. She has a night light in her bedroom.

Her sisters are 21+, May is married and is expecting a child, Claire is traveling the world, and Jessica is attending a local college in LA.

Persona: Brynhildr

Arcana: Sun

Persona’s appearance: Brynhildr is a cute cartoony valkryie reflecting her high energy, cheerfulness and competitive spirit. Brynhildr has an oversized winged helmet that falls over her hazel eyes half the time, and long golden hair braided down her back. She wears a pink dress covered in white shoulder/chest armor. The dress has a slit on either side of her hips, and knee-high armored boots. She carries a large mallet too big for her body, and sprouts tiny wings from her back. Her hands are also covered in protective gauntlets.

Persona Type: Brynhildr is an offensive persona, consisting mostly of physical attacks and a few light attacks and one buffer. She’s the tank/brute force of the team.

Element: physical, light.

Persona’s weakness: darkness

Persona skill list:
Battle Cry: Brynhildr raises physical attack to one ally.
Bash: Brynhildr hits with her mallet, inflicting small physical damage.
Crescent Strike: Small amount of physical damage to all enemies. (learns later)
Pound: Medium amount of physical damage on one enemy.
Brynhildr’s Wrath: Heavy physical damage on all enemies. (learns later)
Violent Flash: weak light attack on one enemy.
Radiant Wave: weak light attack on all enemies.

----

Social Linking advice:

Avalon - she'd definitely like you if....

~ Frequently play soccer/baseball/volleyball with her at Shizukesa park/school field/whatever.
~ treat her to ice cream
~ play video games with her
~ offer to help her with cooking
~ tutor her
~ tease her - she actually likes it. Playful fighting, etc. Height is one of her weak points (and looking like a kid ).
~ random things she likes: sweets, mecha models, going to the movies to watch (cheesy) action flicks, going to karaoke

For Hideki:

~ showing interest in books, literature, he loves reading
~ playing video games - he's more of a PC gamer, but he loves the occasional puzzle game once in a while
~ complimenting his drawings - he draws both realistic and anime (although he leans toward realistic and portraits). Volunteering to be drawn, etc (don't worry, he does a good job. )
~ offer him a meal - usually he's studying and forgets to eat.
~ going to the movies! He actually loves watching an action/adventure/drama/suspense flick once in a while.
~ He's actually pretty shy, since he's not used to socializing with others, so just keep a friendly face and talk with him often. He'll open up to that person eventually.

Age:16
Height: 5'7"
Grade: 11
Classroom/Dorm:2B-3A
Weapon: Kusari-gama
Appearance: Haruka has long black hair that comes down to shoulders, light blue eyes with a nice complexion. She wears a black jacket with matching long socks, a black tie, and a yellow sweater over a white collared shirt. At approximately 5'7 she stands very well mannered, her weight being just as average as her height with no extra luggage. Her daily attire consist of black shorts with white lines from lift to right, the shirt she wears along with it is the same color but sleeveless.

Personality: Haruka has no friends at school or outside the premises. She is always alone wherever she goes. Deep down she harbors a strong will, a great desire, to change her ways. Therefore, she has decided to accept her families old traditions and use it as means of expressing herself.

History: Haruka has lived in Japan her whole life and has spent most of her days challenging strangers to odd competitions. Her first settlement became known after defeating her mother in Archer Artillery. After that she was given the name Princess Of Archery. The title she was given is proof of Haruka's skill in that particular field. Every year the family goes around town placing the title on the line for keeps in exchange for money and other resources. As a genuine claim, Haruka's family continues the
tradition by passing her the responsibility, that she must now take with her to Kasaku, as well to her new high school.


Other: She admires the captain of the Archery Club secretly and is a self proclaimed second in command of the group. (I wanted her to be captain but I guess this is good enough too.)

Weakness: Ice
Type: Full-On-Offense
Appearance: An ancient warrior who carries a black lance with wing attachments extending from two separate branches, at the middle there is an opening where the lance becomes further extended by the third branch.

Upon Chulainn's pale flesh, he is cloaked in black armor with a touch of silver. Around his arms a spike near the lower area hangs idly, where the front area of his body can be seen clearly decorated in several layers. In looks he appears feminine, but is said to have come from Celtic myth as a legend and a warrior who knows no fear.

Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5'4"
Grade: 10
Classroom #: 1A
Dorm Room: 3F
Preferred Weapon: Bow and Arrow
Appearance: Yuki has short black hair, and brown eyes, and is quite tanned compared to her twin brother, Keisuke. For casual wear she prefers to wear a pink tanktop with a white short-sleeved jacket, and a matching pair of white capri-shorts(SP?) with pink converse sneakers.
Personality: Yuki is somewhat of a tomboy and loves to play a wide variety of sports, but she also has a feminine side. She loves cute things, and she has a black pet cat named Chloe that she loves dearly (she refuses to go on long trips away from home without Chloe).
History: Her parents were divorced when she was 9 due to her father's constant physical and mental abuse, though her father mostly targeted Keisuke. Her father abused her sexually, however, though she tries not to think about it. Her mother is extremely over-protective and a control freak, and hides all of the twins' letters and tries to scare their friends away. Because of this, she was rather unpopular at her old school. She hopes to start anew with a clean slate in High School. The constant abuse from her father has made her a stronger person mentally, though it had the opposite effect on her brother.
Other: She was a member of the Archery Club at her middle school, and she was also a member of the girls' soccer team. She never leaves home on long trips without her pet cat, Chloe.

Isenet - just ok'ed your profile, so feel free to post it whenever you're done with the Persona part.

Toku - I'm inclined to say yes, if only because of the roleplaying difficulties of getting everyone together and organized, should there happen to be some sort of emergency , if people are living all around town (especially if with parents to whom they'd have to explain why they're rushing out the door at eleven o'clock at night ).

Character
Name: Shun "Sean" Armada
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5' 10"
Grade: 10
Classroom #: 1-C
Dorm room: 2D
Preferred Weapon: Knife
Appearance: Of Mexican and Japanese descent, Armada has slightly brown/tanned skin. He has short, wavy black hair that sticks up in the front and clear brown eyes. Armada slouches backwards a bit when walking or standing, and normally has his hands, or at least his thumbs, in his pockets. When he sits, he normally leans forward, elbows on table (if applicable), with fingers crossed.
When not in school uniform, he wears a plain, gray sweatshirt and jeans, regardless of the weather, though the sleeves of the sweatshirt will be rolled up when warm. Around his neck, Armada always wears a gold pendant with an obsidian rock placed in it. He carries around a deck of cards and a pair of reading glasses; the latter for when reading, the former for tricks and playing Solitaire when alone.
He normally has a calm expression with a slightly smug smile on his face, and the look hardly ever changes as he tries to keep it a poker face, though there are often some small, uncontrollable movements he has. Armada is somewhat thin, with tight muscles and the ability to move quickly and agilely.
Personality: Normally a laid-back, casual guy, Armada is a charismatic, friendly young man with a silver tongue. He is clever without being necessarily intelligent and has a sharp wit, leading to often sarcastic statements and dialogue.
He is talented at stage show magic and illusions, which he often uses in order to con or extort things from others. His agility makes him a good thief, as well, though he only steals rarely. While a greedy and a miser, he does hold on to some form of code; he is wary of taking object of mid to high value, and never takes from someone he perceives is less well off than he is.
Armada is also a gambler, though the laws in Japan against gambling prevents him from doing so in large groups; instead, he either makes bets in jest or small bets. Interestingly, he's not a very good judge of people, making it difficult for him to take advantage of them initially.
History: Armada was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, after his mother, a Japanese immigrant, met his father, a Mexican-American, while she was visiting a casino. Although never officially married, the two of them began to live with each other, and a couple years later Shun was born. His father called himself a professional gambler, and taught his son a lot about the trade when Shun was old enough to understand, often deceiving him out of rather worthless possessions. Shun's mother was an office worker for some obscure company.
As a child, Shun enjoyed getting stuff, often scheming his classmates out of food during snack time, only avoiding trouble by sweet talking them into believing they didn't need it and occasionally threatening them if they wanted to tell. When he was 12, his father suddenly left (still unmarried) and a year later, his mother inexplicably moved back to Japan. There, he took the two years of junior high school, a gaijin, though he managed to avoid some of the consequences with his charm. During this time, he also did odd jobs in order to help with the income.
At 15, when he was to enter a high school, nobody was sure how they were going to afford the cost. His mother was thinking of sending him back to the States to live with old friends, until the Dreamtime letter came in the mail. Armada agreed to go, and he was promptly sent off to Kasaku.
Other: Because of his father, Armada knows a few words in Spanish, mainly curses, which he may include his language at times.
A decent cook, his wont for experimentation often leads to either spectacular meals or horrid ones.
Sean is the name he used back in America in school.
It was a rumor in his old schools that he keeps a blue notebook with all the information he has gathered on people in it. No one has confirmed this, though.
Club(s): Soccer, Student Council

Persona
Arcana: Fortune
Persona’s name: Hermes
Persona’s appearance: The Greek god of merchants, thieves, travelers and all those who live by their wits, Hermes is depicted as a young, limber man. On his head, he wears his famous winged helmet, which reaches over to cast a shadow over his eyes. He wears the traditional body armor of a Greek soldier, and on his feet are his pair of winged shoes. He wields the caduceus staff in his right hand and holds a message scroll in his left.
Persona's Type: Largely a spell caster, he utilizes mostly Agi spells, with a few weaker healing spells and status affecting abilities. Hermes makes quick, accurate strikes, though they are not overly powerful and has a weak defense.
Persona’s element: Fire
Persona's Weakness: Wind
Persona skill list:

• Agi - Causes Fire damage
  
• Dia - Slightly heals an ally's damage
  
• Argeiphontes - Has a chance to send all enemies in range to sleep for a short time or until struck. Chances set on an individual basis
  
• Maragi - Causes fire damage on all enemies in range
  
• Agidyne - Causes heavy fire damage to an enemy *learns later*
  
• Media - Slightly heals damage of all allies in range *learns later*
  
• Maragion - Damages all enemies with medium fire damage *learns later*
  
• Eriounios - Greatly increases luck/accuracy and normally increases magic attack of all allies *learns later*
  

Note: Although Hermes is of the Magician Arcana in Persona 3, according to the wiki, he was once of the Fortune Arcana. Also, he matches Armada well, so blah.

Character
Name: Chiyoko Ikeda
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Height: 5' 3"
Grade: 11 (Held back a year, see History)
Classroom #: 2F
Dorm room: 3C
Preferred Weapon: Halberd
Personality: A young woman afflicted with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Ikeda (whose personalities all share the same name) has three separate identities:

• The Princess - A haughty, judgmental individual. Under this personality, Ikeda becomes very strict,commanding, and highly reactive. She has very biased opinions and will disregard any ideas that go against her own without consideration or explanation. She is, however, an excellent leader and a decent tactician. Speaks with a loud voice.
  
• The Judge - An emotionless, rational individual. Under this personality, Ikeda becomes cold and distant, losing all emotions for the sake of objective thought. She is heartless in her decisions, disregarding the impact that she makes on others. However, her decisions are always rational and well-thought out, making her an excellent judge. Speaks with a monotone voice.
  
• The Hesitant - An indecisive, fearful individual. Under this personality, Ikeda loses any ability to make her own decisions, always (not often, always) requesting that another make the decision for her. She is nervous about doing anything, and is almost a hikikomori. This is the nicest of her three personalities, however, willing to help others if asked/told. Speaks with a soft voice.
  
• All Personalities - Ikeda is aware of her fragmented identity and therefore keeps a diary on her at all times in which she write everything that happens to her and meticulous school notes since she doesn't retain memories between identities. As a result, she is of high, but not extraordinary, intelligence, as the information she writes down is incredibly detailed.

Appearance: Ikeda possesses medium-long brown hair and hazel-colored eyes. Her skin color is only slightly tanned, though still with a healthy complexion. She is of average weight and has decent muscle structure.
When not in school uniform, each personality has a different dress, aura, and look:

• The Princess - Dresses always in the most popular clothing that she can afford and always looks nice. Has an aura of annoyance and anger around her. Similarly, her face always looks stern and angry, though a happy look is not foreign. Wears lots of jewelry. Has hair in ponytail.
  
• The Judge- Always dresses in a small, black jacket over a black shirt and a long, black skirt. Her aura is cold and emotionless, and she has a plain look on her face at all times. Inexplicably wears a pair of lensless glasses. Has hair in bun.
  
• The Hesitant - Has an eclectic style of dress, since her method of choosing involves randomly pointing then wearing. Has an aura of confusion and nervousness about her, as does her normal look. She is quick to grin. Wears no jewelry by agreement since the Princess identity is afraid she'll lose it/give it away. Has hair in whatever style she happens to have.

History: Born to a well-to-do Japanese family, Ikeda spent much of her life as a normal Japanese girl. She had an older brother with which she was very close. While her father and mother were often busy with their careers, Chiyoko's brother would always make sure to spend some time with her, much to her enjoyment.
The years passed without much trouble for the young girl, though she was beginning to notice a change in her brother. His emotions were increasingly more violent, though he was healthy in both body and mind and continued to treat his sister with the utmost kindness and love. One day, a month before Chiyoko was to enter the first year of high school, Chiyoko accidentally saw her brother commit intentional suicide for an unknown reason. Both the shock of watching her brother die as well as his death in general caused her identity to shatter into three.
As a result, her parents, despite the possible consequences, to have Chiyoko stay back from school for a year in an attempt to help her recover. Despite visits to a psychiatrist and other help, she was unable to get rid of her MPD. Her parents then allowed her to attend school the next year, one grade behind. By the end of that year, there had been so many troubles and problems for Chiyoko (since everyone knew the situation and her before) that her parents lost hope in her educational future.
They learned of the Dreamtime invitation from a friend, though, and hoped that sending her away from home would help her recover. They managed to unintentionally ask Chiyoko when she was in her Hesistant personality, making it easy for them to send her off to Kasuka without troubles.
Other: Cooking-wise, food suffers little difference between the personalities. The Princess' tends to be more hastily put together, while the Judge is very precise, and the Hesitant's food is filled with love.
Her personalities switch uncontrollably, often when she's under great stress or is experiencing great emotion (or any emotion for the Judge).
Her diary is red. Just thought everyone might want to know that.
Club(s): Tea Ceremony

Persona
Arcana: Justice
Persona’s name: Erinyes
Persona’s appearance: Also known as the Furies, the Erinyes is composed of three women, avengers of wrongs and those who keep the balance of the world, even among the gods. The first, Alecto, possess an aged face, with wisps of white hair, but also a youthful body. From her back sprouts a pair of large, draconian wings. The second, Megara, appears to be a middle-aged woman all around and has a pair of smaller avian wings on her back. The last, Tisiphone, has a beautiful young face, but with hair of serpents and a wizened old body too aged to even stand. She is held up by her sisters, who fly with one arm holding her by her own arms. In her other hand, Alecto holds a whip while Megara wields a book. Each woman wears a yellow blindfold over her eyes, stained with blood, and wears a gray robe and a rope belt.
Persona Type: A jack-of-all trades, Erinyes has a couple of each skill type, without specializing in any. As a result, they do not excel greatly in any stat, but have few weaknesses. Their skills are generally group striking, though are fairly weak.
Persona’s element: Almighty/Physical
Persona's Weaknesses: None (takes 7% more damage comparatively from all attack types)
Persona skill list:

• Megido - Causes small Almighty damage on all enemies
  
• Circle of Vengeance - Deals light physical damage to all enemies
  
• Maniae - Slightly increases allies' magic and physical attack
  
• Media - Heals a small amount of health of all allies
  
• Megidola - Causes medium Almighty damage *learns later*
  
• Eumenides - Moderately increases allies' magic and physical attack; slightly increases defense and accuracy. *learns later*
  
• Mediarama - Heals a medium amount of health of all allies *learns later*
  
• Praxidikae - Deals medium physical damage to all enemies *learns later*

Note: I will note which is the dominant personality when writing the name/location. Also, I will repeat the name/location when there's a personality switch.

Preferred Weapon: A Parasol. It doesn't do much.
Appearance: Tall, graceful, elegant. Cannarsa's posture is excellent, standing tall and confident at most times. Her skin is quite white, with the merest hint of a tan, and has a beautiful texture. Her long blond hair is tied back into a ponytail with a bow of ribbon. Blue eyes lay underneath lazy looking eyelids (or the eyes are closed, when looking at it from an anime perspective). She bears a faint, polite smile at most times, though it will turn into a stern frown during conflict.
When out of school, she dresses as elegantly as she looks. Cannarsa can normally be found wearing a dress somewhere in the middle of the formality scale, or a long skirt and long-sleeved shirt. She wears unobtrusive jewelry such as a small necklace and earrings, though on her right wrist she bears a large, tight, jewel-studded bracelet.
Personality: Well-bred and cultured, Cannarsa is extremely polite, almost to a freakish level. She appears to be extremely kind and obedient, though there is an odd mystery as to how she apparently manages to have her way in many cases. As her appearance suggests, she is normally calm and collected, though she can be rather reactive with people of personalities that disagree with her (of which there are quite a few).
Cannarasa often appears to be daydreaming and confused, and indeed gives off an impression of such, though those that know her well enough will discover that she seems to always know what is going on, more than most people do. Her intelligence is difficult to gauge, as she seems to swing from a high level to a low level, and she is not quite good enough with Japanese to express herself at times.
Though not shy, she is a quiet, though clear, speaker with a flexible voice that allows her to express what she is feeling - or to hide what she is feeling - at the moment quite well.
History: Born in Italy to a pair of opera singers, Cannarsa lived the first half of her life in the country, though occasionally she would join her parents on a trip to some other location for their work. At a young age, she was found to have a similar talent to her parents', with her voice being quite suited to opera singing, and thus she was bred to follow the "family business". She was taught at home by various private tutors everything ranging from culture to the sciences to English. Time flew by as it would until she was nine years of age.
At this point, her mother had gone to Japan for a performance, leaving Cannarsa and her father back in Italy. The mother returned, quite impressed with Japan and convinced her husband to allow the family to move there. As Cannarsa had no real bonds to Italy other than it being her birth country, she agreed with the plan with minimal reluctance. In Japan, her parents employed private tutors as they had in Italy, though these had a main focus of teaching their daughter Japanese. After a year of this, Cannarsa's parents decided that she should learn how to conduct herself in society amongst her peers and enrolled her in a public elementary school. Though she was rather uncomfortable that first year of school, Cannarsa proved quite capable at fending for herself and stuck with the public education up until high school. Here, she was enrolled into a private school in Japan for a year, then went overseas as a foreign exchange student (to some country or another). Because of this, she was not able to enroll at Shizuka Kaigan High School until partway through her final year of high school.
Cannarsa's parents had received the invitation letter while their child had been away and, as patrons of the sciences, were willing to let their daughter participate in the experiment. Upon returning home, Cannarsa agreed as well.
Other: She is a horrible cook. Do not let her touch your food, it will become inedible.
Having not been a natural-born Japanese speaker and leaving for a year, Cannarsa's Japanese is a bit iffy.
Possible Club(s): None. She has vocal training most afternoons.
