CR planning post

[rikimaru]

As this is an AU of sorts, it wouldn't hurt to have a little planning and coordination. See if some characters don't start off knowing each other or anything like that. AU your dudes as much or as little as possible; this is the place to do it! Build your social links, be part of the world.

And never forget to bring SP recovering items. You're fucked if your SP hits 0.

HOW TO MEME:

1. Copy/paste the form
2. Fill out the form
3. Plan shit
4. We're all adults here, I trust you don't need me to hold your hand through this

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Preferred Contact:</b> We're all friends here, but best to have this just in case <b>Character Name:</b> <b>About them:</b> A sentence or two of what they're like, what they're into, general personality stuff. <b>AU info:</b> The main setting is Tokyo, 2017. What's their life like here? How different from canon, if different at all? You don't have to change much of anything, if you don't want to; we're playing it fast and loose here <b>Persona and arcana:</b> It's a persona game, so having these is kinda mandatory. And no, you're not hard locked in terms of how you summon them. Break tarot cards, use evokers, rip off your face, do the macarena, the choice is yours. <b>Superhero theme:</b> Due to reasons, the characters take up the mantle of superheroes to protect the city from the ever looming shadow threat. What's their costume like? Do they have a cool name? Have fun with this part. <b>Superpower</b>: Enhanced strength and endurance come natural with having a persona, but oftentimes you'll get a power unique to you. Laser eyes? Even more strength? You decide! <b>CR goals:</b> Anything in particular you'd like to do with your character? Say so here and see if these wonderful people can't help make that happen! <b>Other Info We Should Know:</b> Peak RP hours, stupid gifs, anything under the umbrella of etc.

Minato Arisato

[foolish_seal]

Character Name: Minato "Who the Fuck is Makoto Yuuki" Arisato
About them: The calm and cool protag of the third game, Minato's content to just go with the flow of life, taking whatever crazy life throws at him in stride. It's probably his only option, really, given that his life is basically an overclocked pitching machine of crazy. He's usually a quiet sort, but won't hesitate to put aside his own goals in order to help others.
AU info: The main setting is Tokyo, 2017. What's their life like here? How different from canon, if different at all? You don't have to change much of anything, if you don't want to; we're playing it fast and loose here
Persona and arcana: Minato has a few he can switch between, due to his Wild Card. For all of them, however, he uses his Evoker and shoots himself in the head.
Messiah: Universe Arcana. The quintessential "savior" of mankind in many religions.
Thor: Star Arcana. A large, mechanical turtle, one of the many colony-class spacecraft tasked with finding the mythical planet Magrathea. Constructed from the bonds made on the ship itself, lost in the far reaches of the universe.
Calice: Judgement Arcana. A pale-looking alicorn with madness-inducing eyes. A pony driven insane by a lust for knowledge, saved only by the bonds between friends. A summation of the bonds made in a colorful, otherworldly land.
Gem's Heart Blade: Not a Persona per se, but rather an incomplete one that has been fused with a scimitar, causing it to take on a blue, crystalline-like appearance. Forged from the bonds made around a mysterious temple.
Superhero theme: Minato's got a wanderer theme going on. Stereotypical tattered cloak over... whatever this mess is here.
Superpower: Other than the usual strength and endurance boost, Minato has no other abilities. However, he has better control over his Personas than most, able to keep them summoned for lengthy periods of time. he uses this most of the time to do important things like cooking with Messiah or flying from place to place on Thor.
CR goals: Minato's goal here is closure. He's been thrown around the universe, never knowing rest. Now, he has a chance to see his story to the end. ...He may need some coercion to not become a death seeker and sacrifice his life (again) for the good of others.
Other Info We Should Know:

2B

[2bcontinues]

Character Name: Eighth Generation Anti-Shadow Weapon, Model B, No. 2. (Most people just call her 2B)
About them: A sad android that doesn't like to admit she has emotions. Good at deadpan and being a killjoy.
AU info: The Kirijo group started up their anti-shadow weapon program after Aigis proved to be a success with SEES and the Shadow Ops group. The eighth generation of weapons diverged significantly from the previous, making use of new technology and experimenting with the roles they would serve. There are a multitude of model types this generation, each equipped for a different role in combat. This was to emulate human cooperation and camaraderie, and hopefully allow these models to draw more of a connection with their artificially-implanted Persona. 2B herself is a combat model, designed for solo missions with only an operator and maybe a partner helping her on the field. The Kirijo group got quite a bit of mileage out of her and her generation over the several years of service, but the constant fighting of Shadows in far-off countries and other organizations of questionable ethics have taken something of a toll on her psyche, especially after having lost several units close to her in a relatively short span of time. Nonetheless, she continues her mission, which now takes her to Tokyo to investigate the mysterious sightings there.
Persona and arcana: Nirriti, Death Arcana. A Hindu goddess of death and sorrow, and ruler of the southwest direction.
Superhero theme: The concept of "theme" kinda goes over 2B's head, so she doesn't bother with silly things like costumes. Nevermind that her standard attire is about as flashy as one anyway.
Superpower: She's an android, so she's got the usual absurd strength and endurance even beyond that of a typical Persona user. In addition to that, she's got electromagnetic levitation that she uses mostly for her weapons, the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct certain items at a moment's notice, and a floating support pod that can provide ranged fire and handles long-range communication.
CR goals: 2B doesn't quite understand group dynamics besides "total obedience to superior". Someone needs to teach her how to friends.
Other Info We Should Know:

Captain Celestia

[pirateponyprincess]

Character Name: Captain Celestia (first name unknown)
About them: The classiest and nicest criminal baroness you'll ever meet. Sure, she'll loot and pillage a cargo ship in international waters without missing a beat, but she'll also take her crew out drinking with the spoils, and donate large sums of cash to charities. Like Robin Hood, only a pirate. And inexplicably an alicorn. She may have been human at some point, but no one's ever worked up the courage to question her about it.
AU info: Before her life of crime, Celestia was the CEO of a large corporate conglomeration. However, it was perhaps not as powerful as a group that size should be, as her budgeting put most of the group's profits back into the hands of its employees, which was good for everyone working for her, but bad for shareholders. Despite her best efforts in keeping people happy and being unwilling to get into the seedier side of corporate business, she was left open to a rather hostile takeover by another group, more or less driving her out of the corporate game entirely. The event left her rather disillusioned with the whole system, so rather than try and climb that ladder again, she decided it would be a better idea to dismantle it. Not by playing the corporate game, of course, but by a much, much simpler method: taking their stuff. And so, with the dividends paid to her from selling her conglomerate, she founded Solaris, a group dedicated to undermining the rich and redistributing to those who could better make use of that money.
For years, this group was rather successful. Billions of dollars worth of damage to various industries, and a large string of mysterious gifts to those in need; debts mysteriously vanishing, medical procedures suddenly paid for, college textbooks showing up out of nowhere... A lot of illegitimate good was done. Unfortunately, it didn't last. Celestia was eventually caught, offering herself up in order to let her underlings off the hook. She would have been bound for a life in prison, had the Kirijo group not stepped in with an offer: Work for them in dealing with these things called Shadows, and the convictions may be dropped. While working for a group like Korijo wasn't the most favorable of options, it was better than behind bars, and so she was dispatched to Tokyo to use her connections to investigate the strange goings on.
Persona and arcana: Gráinne Mhaol, Sun Arcana. A formidable pirate queen in Irish folklore, known for her efficient and practical leadership style, terrorizing the coasts of Ireland. Celestia summons by firing her custom pistol into the air through a card. The bullets are known to come down dramatically later in the battle.
Superhero theme: The pirate theme is pretty much mandatory at this point.
CR goals: Everyone needs a friend or mentor that's into crime, and she needs people to teach life lessons to with her vast experience that should totally be followed because who doesn't want to be a pirate
Other Info We Should Know: Damn right I'm bringing ponies into Persona and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
