Welcome to the world of Persona. Persona is a manifestation of a person's Psyche, able to be seen as a “mask” so an individual may face their hardships in life. Persona’s could be seen as similar to Shadows. What are Shadows? Shadows are... Malevolent manifestations of one’s inner thoughts. A Persona is a manifestation of this same phenomena, but tamed, and trained.

Would it be strange if I told you that, every normal day, consists of 25 hours? Not just 24? You would call me a madman and have me locked away for sure, but I tell merely the truth you deserve –and need- to know. It is aptly called the Dark Hour, an hour in which all we normal humans are turned into coffins, simply put, and therefore do not have to go through the trouble of experiencing it. Convenient for us who would be rendered defenceless. Because only in the Dark Hour, the Shadows come out. Only then will they crawl out of their hiding place, the tower Tartarus, the Shadow Nest that seems to defy the very rules of time. Shadows are the cause of many of the incidents on the news, especially on those which talk about people, having fallen victim to the ‘Apathy Syndrome’.

And just when you’d think all is a lost cause, there are those who possess the potential. The power known as Persona. They are the only ones who are capable of fighting and defeating the Shadows, something that is an absolute must if the people are to be protected.

So, stand up and awaken to your powers, users of Persona! Are you just going to sit there, and let everything fall apart?

~ S t o r y . A n d . T e r m s ~

We are currently in April, the 26th. Winter clothing is worn. The next full moon is on the 9th of May.

Story:
Whether you have or have not yet awakened to your power, soon it is time for us all to unite and stand strong against a common enemy. The enemy known as Shadows.

This RP is set in an Alternate Timeline, therefore we follow the same plotline as canon, taking as the ‘canon’ example Persona 3 FES. However, since it is an Alternate Timeline, we can differ in our storyline. In other words, the idea is the same, but there are some things that have significantly changed, such as the behaviour of smaller Shadows and the presence or lack of certain canon characters and happenings.
Though things may seem very foreign and strange at first, I am quite sure that you will soon grasp the concept of what I mean.

Shadows rampage on a much more significant level than would be considered normal, and just one small group of students will not be able to fix everything on their own. They will need more people, more students.
This is where you come in.

You might not have awakened to your powers yet, but soon you will find yourself in a situation where you will have to awaken, or face the consequences. And expect to be found once you awaken.
So, for what will you fight?

Terms:
Persona: Persona is an ability that only very few people possess. Persona are like “masks”, manifestations of a person’s psyche or “personality”. These creatures seem to take nearly every form and shape and have strange, incredible powers.

Shadows: Strange creatures which carry men’s negative emotions with them and only appear during the Dark Hour. These, too, take on various forms and shapes and have powers not yet fully comprehensible to most. They appear mainly as ‘lesser Shadows’ in Tartarus, but they also rampage about in the city.

Tartarus: A mysterious tower that only appears in the Dark Hour, the nest of the Shadows.

The Dark Hour: A hidden hour between two days. While normal people turn into coffins and ‘sleep’ through this hour, those with the potential stay awake and fully experience this hour.

S.E.E.S: Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. A group dedicated to the elimination of the Shadows. On paper they are but a normal school club, but one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Iwatodai: This is the city where everyone lives and where everything takes place. Here is a map with names.

Gekkoukan High: The school all of us students will be attending. Everyone wears uniforms here (see 'Uniform' in the List for guidelines). This is also the place that, strangely enough, turns into Tartarus during the Dark Hour.

Arcanas: This is a meaning that’s quite hard to grasp. You could file it as ‘types’ that your Persona falls under. For an explanation on the Arcanas, go HERE. You’ll need to look at the Major Arcanas.

Uniforms: In Gekkoukan High, all students wear uniforms! Here is a general example and the guidelines:
Here is the main example.
Girls: - A black skirt. The lenghts of the skirt can reach between halfway the upper legs to knee-height.
- They are free to wear any closed shoes of their choice, as long as they aren't obnoxiously coloured and fit in with the scheme and look decent.
- This also goes for the socks/panties/stockings, as long as they fit.
- A white blouse must be worn. The sleeves can be any length from the wrists and shorter, as long as they cover the shoulders.
- All girls are to wear a red ribbon.
- In winter, they are allowed to wear a jacket. This jacket is a dark grey to black Gekkoukan School jacket with the symbol on it. This jacket can have long sleeves to even being sleeveless, and can have any length as long as they cover the chest. They can have buttons or zippers, and pockets are also allowed, though either two normal pockets or one chest pocket.
- Many forms of accesoires are allowed, though students are discouraged from wearing anything overly expensive. Scarfs, jewellery, hairbands, belts and even caps are allowed.

Boys: - Black pants of ankle-length only. They can be loose to slightly 'baggy' or a little more tight-fit, as long as it looks decent enough. Pockets are allowed, as well as belts or short chains.
- They are free to wear any closed shoes of their choice, just as with the girls.
- Socks aren't seen, thus the point is sort of moot.
- A white blouse must be worn, just as with the girls.
- All boys wear a grey ribbon.
- In winter, boys are also allowed to wear a jacket. This is the same as with the girls, only they're only allowed to be around hip height at a minimum and just below their bottom as a maximum. These can also have buttons or zippers, and pockets are again allowed. These can have both normal pockets and one chest pocket.
- Same goes for the accesoires.

» All of The Almighty Ruler's Tess' rules apply!!
» No one likes Gary-Stus and Mary-Sues, so let's not make 'em.
» So no God-Modding and Power-Playing, either. It makes people sad. :<
» I do not ask of you to know the entire Persona 3 storyline. However, I ask of you that you are a little familiar with the concept, and if you are not, then at least be willing to have a look into it. General information is really all you need.
» Yes, you are allowed to RP a canon character. HOWEVER, you are not allowed to RP Minato/Minako (also known as ‘the main characters’), Pharos, Ryoji, Aigis, Igor, Elizabeth, Ikutsuki or Strega. They are like plot devices for the canon version and they’d steal too much of the spotlight. Since we want everyone to have as much spotlight and this storyline will be different, they can’t be created.
» If you use a Canon Character, you are free to make slight edits to their personality and history. However, they must still be recognisable! Think about it this way; the characters are this way because of their history. Since you can slightly alter their history, their personality will also vary slightly. Underlining slightly because they are still to be RPed as the character they are.
» Please, if RPing a Canon Character, try to be an OC as well! Mind you that this is an Alternate Timeline/Universe, so OCs would only be logic, wouldn’t it? I understand if you do not have the capability to RP more than one character and you still want to be a Canon character though. =]
» Canon/OC, Canon/Canon and OC/OC couples are okay, of course. But not with your own characters. That is kind of dull, isn’t it?
» Please don't go overboard with the swearing. 'Dang' and 'crap' and such is fine though.
» The Romance and Violence rules... I think you know the drill~
» This RP is Semi-Literate. So no One-Liners. It's okay if you have a Writer's block, but please try your best. With Semi-Lit I mean at least one paragraph, at least. That's about four/five lines at the least.
» No killing off other people’s characters without permission! The both of you have to PM me if both agree to this fact, so that I can take it in mind.
» However, you can always kill off your own characters when you want to. Just tell me beforehand, preferably through PM.
» This RP WILL contain spoilers even if it’s twisted and adapted in some ways. You have been warned.
» Watch your Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling. Mistakes are human though, so I won't get angry or anything. =]
» This RP is NOT solely about Romance. OF COURSE it's allowed, but it’s not really the main point of it all. Just keep this in mind. =] Same gender relationships are also allowed, of course!
» Use a bit of creativity in your forms, both for Canon and OCs.
» If a new Term comes up, I'll add it to the list.
» If I add a new rule, I will say so!
» Please listen to me if I'm trying to help. I am the creator of the RP after all.
» AND MOST IMPORTANTLY. Have fun. <3

[u][b]The Character[/b][/u]
((This part really is only about the character him or herself.))

[b]Character's Name:[/b]
((Your character's FULL name. Remember, this takes place in JAPAN. Unless they’re a foreign exchange student (which seems a little unlikely to me, so I’ll only allow it very rarely and only once or twice) the names must be JAPANESE. This may seem a bit sue, but it is actually only logical.))
[b]Age:[/b]
((Mind that they’re in school, and mind the school years! I’m not sure if it is true, but this is what I was told: 14/15 is Freshman, 15/16 is Sophomore, 16/17 is Junior, 17/18 is Senior. Correct me if I’m wrong, my own school system is not like this. PLEASE NOTE BOTH AGE AND THE YEAR THEY ARE IN!))
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Personality:[/b]
((No 'RPing it out', we want an idea at least. Be creative, don’t only make a scratch of the surface.))
[b]History:[/b]
((Also here, no 'RPing it out', 'unknown' or 'won't tell'. Since they’re teenagers, I don’t really expect you to have an amazing detailed history, but we want at least something. Remember that the history also shapes the personality in a way. FOR THE CANON CHARACTERS GOES: you CAN alter the history, but /not too much/. As I said before the history shapes the personality, keep this in mind also when writing personality.))
[b]Sexuality:[/b]
((Straight, gay, bi, it's all fine.))
[b]Crush:[/b]
((Optional, obviously~))
[b]Looks:[/b]
((THIS IS DEVIDED IN MULTIPLE PARTS since we’re keeping the ‘canon’ game in mind; they have summer wear and winter wear, do they not? You can describe things, or use a picture, but I don’t want any stolen pictures, please. FOR CANON CHARACTERS GOES: You can pretty much leave this open or use a canon picture. You are allowed to do this part if you want to, of course.))

[u]Appearance:[/u]
((General appearance, with this I mean things such as body build, face, hair colour, those things. Clothes are not necessary to write here yet.))

[u]Winter School uniform:[/u]
((This is the ‘main uniform’. It’s the school uniform they wear in winter and is the most characteristic for it is also worn in Tartarus. This often includes a jacket or cardigan of some sorts. Girls wear skirts while boys wear pants. It’s pretty simple. You can be about as creative as you want to, though, as long as it falls within the ‘school uniform’ perimeters.))

[u]Summer School uniform:[/u]
((Most of the time this is just the Winter uniform but without a jacket. If this is the case, you can just fill in something similar to ‘remove the jacket’. However, if you want to, you can post any alterations here.))

[u]Winter Sunday clothes:[/u]
((Since there is no school on Sundays, your characters need some free time clothing during winter~! You can either make a set outfit, or depict the type of clothes he or she would wear.))

[u]Summer Sunday clothes:[/u]
((Same as above, only this is for summer. Mind that it can get pretty warm. C: ))

[b]Home situation:[/b]
((As long as they are not recruited into S.E.E.S and don’t live in the dorm, they’ll live at home. What’s it like at home?))

[b]Awakened or not:[/b]
((In other words, have they any realization of the Dark Hour or their Persona yet? If they are awakened and realize they have a Persona, mind you that they are immediately recruited into S.E.E.S and you have to live in the Dorm!))

[b]Other:[/b]
((If you have anything else to add.))

[u][b]Persona:[/b][/u]
((This section is entirely about the character’s battle skills and their Persona))

[b]Battle/Support Role:[/b]
((Do they engage in battle, or do they collect information? This is necessary for the following things you’ll have to fill out! I want more fighters than supporters, only two or three supporters at the most, however they ARE necessary!))

[b]Persona:[/b]
((What is the Persona’s name? Mind you, this does NOT have to be a Japanese name. A lot of Persona’s are based on real people or Mythological people/creatures or even Gods. You don’t have to base it on of them, but it’s allowed.))

[b]Based on:[/b]
((Only if your Persona is based on something. If not, leave blank. If it’s based on something, you can type the story or how you based them on it here. This is optional to do though.))

[b]Appearance:[/b]
((What does it look like? A picture, an explanation, all’s cool with me.))

[b]Strenghts:[/b]
((What kind of attacks is the Persona strong against? Two at the most! What you have is Fire, Ice, Wind, Electricity, Light, Darkness (considered ‘magic’ skills in a sense) and slash, pierce and strike (which are more like weapon skills). IF YOUR CHARACTER GATHERS INFORMATION RATHER THAN FIGHTS, THIS GOES: You do not have any strengths, weaknesses or attacks and you won’t have a weapon, since you do not engage in battle. However, what your character does is collecting information on strengths/weaknesses, so they are necessary for exploration and battle.))

[b]Nullify:[/b]
((What kind of attack does absolutely no damage? One at the most!  Be sure to balance everything out well!))

[b]Weaknesses:[/b]
((What kind of attack does way more damage? At least one if you have a strength! At least two if your persona nullifies something! Thus three at least if it nullifies something and has two strengths!))

[b]Attacks:[/b]
((This is too much for me to explain on my own, so please do a little research for yourself as well. Your attacks can do damage (either the ‘magic’ like skills or in a weapon-sense), can heal or support (weaken the enemy’s defence/attack or strengthen your own). Don’t make the persona a sue; they won’t learn anything that they’re weak for, but they’ll probably learn what they are strong against! THERE IS A LINK BELOW THE FORM WITH ALL THE ATTACKS AND ABILITIES IN IT. It’s better to use it and be safe, isn’t it? You will, of course, start out with the weaker attacks and abilities. They will develop en become stronger ones over time!))

[b]Weapon of choice:[/b]
((What kind of weapon does your /character/ fight with? Thus the human, not the Persona! No weapons such as guns! ALSO INCLUDE THE TYPE OF DAMAGE THEY DO. This can be Slash (such as with swords), Strike (such as with fists) or pierce (such as with bow and arrow).))

[b]Arcana Type:[/b]
((What Arcana does the Persona fall under. If you have trouble with the Arcana’s, I’d advise you to go to the Term List and have a look at the Arcana List and the meanings that I have linked. You can only pick from the Arcana’s one (I) to nineteen (XIX) though!! Remember, the Arcana has to fit with your CHARACTER AND THEIR PERSONA! A happy cheerful girl wouldn’t have the Death Arcana, would she?))[/center][/size]

The Character

Character's Name:
Tokage Odayakana.
Age:
Sixteen. She’s a Junior.
Gender:
Female.

Personality:
Tokage is, in very short, a big tomboy. She’s not very keen on wearing the skirt of her school uniform, but uniform’s an uniform, hm? She prefers to wear jeans or clothes in which she can move about freely, without having to worry about people looking at her funny.

Tokage is a very spontaneous girl, outspoken and not afraid to voice her opinions on whatever matter is presented in front of her. She doesn’t like to be proven wrong though and thus isn’t really quick to accept other’s opinions or thoughts on matters. Agree with hers, or just let her and her thoughts be. She knows when she’s wrong; she just doesn’t want to admit it. She’s very stubborn with her opinions and thoughts, and is very unlikely to change her mind once it’s set on something.

Tokage is not a very... Friendly person. It’s a little hard to describe. It’s not that she’s mean and will bully everyone she sees, she just has a hard time behaving herself around others. Because she’s not afraid to voice her opinions and doesn’t take other people their feelings into consideration she ends up hurting them, often pushing them away from her. It’s fine with her, she likes her solitude. She has a sharp, sarcastic tongue she is not afraid of using.

Her whole point of being this way is to actually distance herself from everyone. It’s not that she thinks she’s any better (in fact, she thinks she’s worse) or doesn’t like people or social interactions, she’s just afraid of being used and getting hurt. She even promised herself that she’d never fall in love or get too attached, something she can’t always keep herself on.

Though stubborn as she is in distancing herself, she can’t help but be protective over the people that force themselves to spend time with her, no matter how much of a jerk she can be at them. Only those who stick to her like glue even though she snaps at them to create distance is she able of considering her ‘friends’. People whom she’s close to or considers her ‘friends’, she seems to immediately classify as ‘hers’, too. When she is, at last, friends with someone, and another person enters her friend’s life, she will have a hard time to cope with this, feeling as if she was there first and that she’s being replaced.

History:
Tokage her first years in life were the most normal ones any person could probably ever think off. She grew up with her mother and father, who took good care of her, despite with the little amount of money they had. It wasn’t much, but enough to get by with the three of them.

However, this did mean that they weren’t able to buy a lot of expensive things, such as toys, and their house was also fairly small. Tokage didn’t really mind at first, because she just kept it down. However, people gradually started finding out and it started to ‘leak out’, after which she became a frequent victim of bullying. It started out pretty innocent enough, so Tokage wasn’t too bothered at first. However, soon the bullying escalated to greater heights; it wasn’t just teasing anymore, they called her names, bothered her as she walked back home or stole her things, refusing to give them back.

Tokage always tried to ignore all this, never reporting anything of it to her parents or teachers. However, it was the cause of her possessive side, as well as trying to push others away; she has been picked on and hurt before, and she found out the best way to get over this was to not listen to it. She wasn’t very social to begin with, and this didn’t really help.

It was with luck that she was able to go to Gekkoukan High though. She wasn’t very keen on it at first, but her parents pushed her into going. She’s quite content here, in all honesty.

Especially from the time that she went to Gekkoukan High, she has gotten more and more into Karaoke. She wasn’t afraid to sing, and it was one of the few things that loosened her up around people the slightest bit. She really started to enjoy music because of this, and joined the Music Club.

Sexuality:
Bisexual.
Crush:
None yet, open.
Looks:

Appearance:
Tokage is quite a short girl, a little bit plump as well. She’s not really ‘chubby’ since she doesn’t eat as much, but her general figure is just a bit unrefined. It’s roughly a pear-shape with strong-looking legs. Her skin is not very fair, many places slightly lighter or darker in pigment, making her look slightly awkward in bright, artificial light.

Her face is quite round, her face turned into what seems to be a constant frown or a distrusting expression with slightly narrowed eyes. She has lips slightly too thick, her buckteeth slightly poking out constantly; she can’t afford braces. Under her left eye is a small mole, a tiny scar under her right. Her eyes are a grey, dull version of mixed brown and green. Her hair used to be a dark brown, but she bleached it and dyed it a dirty blond colour. The roots still hint at her original hair colour.

Her hair is pretty wave, yet also quite messy. She ties it in a high, messy ponytail with a fringe over her left eye.

Winter School uniform:
CLICK.
((Don’t mind the creature around her waist! It was an old Persona design, forgotten and discarded by now.))

Tokage wears a white blouse with a folder collar and a red ribbon. Over her blouse she wears the black Gekkoukan High school jacket. The sleeves of her jacket are folded and buttoned up, while the sleeves of her blouse are unbuttoned and down, poking out from her jacket sleeves. She wears the black skirt, and black, high boots as well. White socks poke out just above her boots.

Summer School uniform:
Her summer school uniform is the same as her winter uniform, only without the jacket and her sleeves pulled up past her elbows.

Winter Sunday clothes:
CLICK.
She wears a dark grey shirt with a black coat. Her jeans are a dark blue and her boots are black as well. Her hat is grey-blue with red stripes. Her scarf is a dark maroon colour. She doesn’t really seem to care that all these colours clash though.

Summer Sunday clothes:
CLICK.
She wears a dark blue tanktop, camo brown khakis and bright green shoes.

Home situation:
Tokage’s home situation was pretty average. Her parents cared about her, but couldn’t afford many expensive or special things for her. She was quite okay with that, though the house she lived in was very small and pretty empty of ‘modern’ things. However, all the old things they had were stuffed in boxes or strewn all over the place, so everything was a constant mess. They slept in futons in the living room, too.

However, Tokage’s moved into the dorm recently.

Awakened or not:
Yes, Tokage awakened to her Persona not too long ago, but she’s still clumsy and un-knowing of the whole concept because it came as a huge shock to her.

Other:
None.

Persona:

Battle/Support Role:

Persona:

Artemis was a strong Goddess whose heart was won by no God or man, even going as far as to kill men with her bow and arrow when she was enraged at them or if they wronged her or any other woman. She was quite vengeful.

Appearance:
CLICK.
Artemis is a night-black figure clad in white clothing and with golden blond hair. The mask on her face is red, hinting at her weakness to fire. The arrow quiver on her back is a light leather brown.

The Character

Character's Name:
Akihiko Sanada
Age:
Seventeen, he’s a Senior.
Gender:
Male.
Personality:
(Slight edit from canon)
A cool and well-respected upperclassman, Akihiko is serious and determined. He never gives up and always tries to get stronger in order to protect what is dear to him and feels guilty for not being able to save his sister, Miki, from the fire. He acts like a older brother for the younger S.E.E.S. members. Akihiko is on good terms with Shinjiro and cares a lot for him.

Akihiko is often depicted as aloof, and in some cases, completely unaware of fanbase of female students, who often follow him around school. He is eager to train and fight, to a fault.

Akihiko is not very keen on talking about anything relating to his past, as to where he grew up, what happened to his sister, why he took up boxing and whatnot. He can get defensive at the matter.

History:
(Slightly edited from the Canon history)
Akihiko grew up in an orphanage together with his sister Miki and his friend Shinjiro Aragaki. One day, there was a fire at the orphanage which completely ravaged and destroyed it. Shinjiro and Akihiko both survived it without serious wounds, but his sister, Miki, sustained more severe burns. She was brought to the hospital in a hurry, where she was under constant surveillance for quite some time. When Akihiko was allowed to see her again, she was still in terrible condition. She made Akihiko promise her that he and Shinjiro would look after each other so this wouldn’t happen to them.
She didn’t wake up the next morning.

Akihiko was devastated by this and vowed to become stronger so things like this wouldn’t happen again. He soon took up boxing and became very good at it. He turned out to be a boxing champ, and one day after a math, he was approached by a red-haired woman; Mitsuru Kirijou. She offered him a position in S.E.E.S and he accepted. Together with Mitsuru and Shinjiro, they were the initial members of S.E.E.S.

JUNPEI'S FORM IS A WIP

Username: Stray Dog

The Character

Character's Name: Mei {last name 'unknown' due to parents dying in 'mysterious circumastances' that the Japanese Police are currently investigating into - only her foster parents know her last name}
Age: Sixteen years old; Junior at Gekkoukan High
Gender: Female
Personality: Mei tends to keep to herself - her only friend being Junpei Iori - and stays fairly silent during school hours. She may be intelligent but her grades are only average due to her mind being filled with 'more important things than school' that ultimately distract her from all aspects of life, including bonding with her loving foster parents. Junpei is the only one who gets to see the true Mei - a slightly perverted comedic girl who has a taste for sarcasm, horror and adventure. She spends most of her time doodling disturbing images in her sketchpad, reading various fantasy and mystery novels and building her anime collection.
History: Mei's parents died in 'mysterious circumstances' that, funnily enough, only Mei herself knows. Why? Well, she dreamt of her parent's death proir to the incident, successfully freaking herself out. Mei has constantly had dreams that seem to come true the next day ever since but only about those she is close to - herself and Junpei. Since her parents' death half a year ago, Mei has been living with the Yamada's, a family specialising in fostering children whose parents died in 'mysterious circumstances'. Mei is polite and does what she is asked, even helping with housework, however she has failed to form a special bond with her new family. If it wasn't for Junpei, Mei would probably be mute; his up-beat attitude has kept her from spiralling into the depths of depression and even retain small parts of her old self.
Sexuality: Mei is a closet bisexual - her true feelings may start to show themselves when she gets to know other people.
Crush: Junpei sparks small parts of her but she would never date him - she knows too much about his perverted thoughts and, unfortunately, shares a room with him - Junpei tends to talk in his sleep and, well, let's just say Mei wants no part of his dreams.

Mei is of average height, pale and slim - she has dark circles under her eyes due to lack of sleep, finding herself wide awake from around 6pm to 4am the next day; her only sleep is from around 4am until 7am, then she has to get ready for school. She has glasses but prefers to wear deep yellow/gold contacts that make her seem just that touch more mysterious; her original eye colour is deep black. Her hair is the darkest black, dead straight, and falls down to her waist; at school she ties it back into a high ponytail with a side fringe covering the left side of her face. Mei is fit but does no sports - she gets her exercise at night while everyone else in the house is asleep and she sneaks out to run in the forest. It's exhilirating for her and she normally stays out until just before midnight for, any later, and her instincts tell her that she'd be in a lot of trouble . . .

Winter School uniform:
Mei's black skirt is a touch shorter than usual, going to about halfway on her thigh - she makes up for the shortness by wearing a pair of plain black leggings underneath, insisting that such short a skirt makes her uncomfortable if she isn't wearing some form of pants underneath. Her jacket, on the other hand, is too big for her and the sleeves almost entirely cover her hands - Mei tends to cling to the material, especially when nervous. The jacket is always done up unless she chooses to take it off, which is, like, never.

Summer School uniform:
Mei's shirt is generally unbuttoned at the top, looking a little messy, with her red ribbon on an angle. She pulls the sleeves down as far as possible despite the heat, so - like her jacket in winter - they cover her hands and wrists . . .

Winter Sunday clothes:
Mei is your typical 'jeans and a t-shirt' girl with a hoodie. Pretty simple, really.

Summer Sunday clothes:
Lacey, black dresses with black leggings . . . . yeah.

Home situation:
Mei lives with foster family the Yamada's with their other fostered child, Junpei Iori, but is yet to get close to the family . . .

Awakened or not:
Nein . . . she's slightly aware of shadows and such but keeps it to herself . . .

The Character


Character's Name: Junpei Iori
Age: Sixteen years old; Junior at Gekkoukan High
Gender: Male
Personality: Junpei is a fun-loving, slightly perverted,
History:
((Also here, no 'RPing it out', 'unknown' or 'won't tell'. Since they’re teenagers, I don’t really expect you to have an amazing detailed history, but we want at least something. Remember that the history also shapes the personality in a way. FOR THE CANON CHARACTERS GOES: you CAN alter the history, but /not too much/. As I said before the history shapes the personality, keep this in mind also when writing personality.))
Sexuality:
((Straight, gay, bi, it's all fine.))
Crush:
((Optional, obviously~))
Looks:
((THIS IS DEVIDED IN MULTIPLE PARTS since we’re keeping the ‘canon’ game in mind; they have summer wear and winter wear, do they not? You can describe things, or use a picture, but I don’t want any stolen pictures, please. FOR CANON CHARACTERS GOES: You can pretty much leave this open or use a canon picture. You are allowed to do this part if you want to, of course.))

Appearance:
((General appearance, with this I mean things such as body build, face, hair colour, those things. Clothes are not necessary to write here yet.))

Winter School uniform:
((This is the ‘main uniform’. It’s the school uniform they wear in winter and is the most characteristic for it is also worn in Tartarus. This often includes a jacket or cardigan of some sorts. Girls wear skirts while boys wear pants. It’s pretty simple. You can be about as creative as you want to, though, as long as it falls within the ‘school uniform’ perimeters.))

Summer School uniform:
((Most of the time this is just the Winter uniform but without a jacket. If this is the case, you can just fill in something similar to ‘remove the jacket’. However, if you want to, you can post any alterations here.))

Winter Sunday clothes:
((Since there is no school on Sundays, your characters need some free time clothing during winter~! You can either make a set outfit, or depict the type of clothes he or she would wear.))

Summer Sunday clothes:
((Same as above, only this is for summer. Mind that it can get pretty warm. C: ))

Home situation:
((As long as they are not recruited into S.E.E.S and don’t live in the dorm, they’ll live at home. What’s it like at home?))

Awakened or not:
((In other words, have they any realization of the Dark Hour or their Persona yet? If they are awakened and realize they have a Persona, mind you that they are immediately recruited into S.E.E.S and you have to live in the Dorm!))

Other:
((If you have anything else to add.))

Persona:

Battle/Support Role:

Persona:
Hermes.

Based on:
Hermes, the youngest of the Twelve Olympians, is the messenger of the gods in the ancient Greece. He is the offspring of Zeus andMaia, and also recognized as the patron of travelers, commerce, athletics, literature and poets, sometimes of healing and invention, even of thieves and liars. He was well worshipped by the ancient Greeks and apparently his figure appeared in many of their myths. As an infant, he created the first Lyre, which he gave to Apollo, who in exchange decided to let him keep the immortal cattle that was stolen by him. His main task is to aid travelers in their journey, also to guide the dead to the Underworld, where he could enter or leave without any hindrance. He is known to wear the winged cap and winged sandals and to possess the Caduceus, a herald staff adorned with wings and entwined by two serpents, nowadays often to symbolize medicine, in the medical services. Hermes is the analogue of the Roman god, Mercury.
