I am thou, thou art I. I cometh from the sea of thy heart.
In Saint Marateika High School, located in Luarena City, a number of high school students are given anonymous invitations to a virtual reality game debut taking place in the Computer Lab. Some are very eager, others are mildly curious, but the game is nothing like they have seen before.
Without even any prompts, the game assigns them a unique being they can summon at will - a Persona. Once they have done this, they are set forth in a magical land called Makai, where they battle many different demons. After the game's time limit of an hour passes, the students go home...but that night, they discover their powers are real...
Not only that, those who played the game can see Shadows appearing in the streets...that no one else can see. Yet, the Shadows can attack the weak willed people, killing them. Who is responsible for this? The team must investigate this, whilst living out their days...
Form:
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance:
Weapon:
Arcana:
Persona:
Skills:
The first character you have is going to be a high school student, so they can't be like 30 or something. This school doesn't have a uniform, so outfits can be anything you like. (Within reason of course...no suits of armour or polka dot bikinis, lol)
Weapons artificially generated by the game mysteriously appear as the gang discover their Personas are real. They are able to be disguised on the user's body. Go ahead with whatever you want, but as long as a Persona user has their Persona active, gunshots are not fatal and body parts are not severed. Characters can still die, of course...
An Arcana is basically like a Personality. An Arcana is one of the Major 22 Tarot Cards used in fortune telling, and each one reflects different personality aspects of a person. You don't have to match the card exactly, but at least pick one that fits. Look at tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TarotMotifs for help !
Personas tend to be a mythological figure from any mythlogy you can think of. Greek, Shinto, Buddism, Celtic, Norse, whatever. There are plenty of them out there, so you can look up some (again, TV Tropes has some great mythology character pages) and use the ones that fit you. And yes, we will have villains in this, but not right away...so try to avoid giving characters EVIL gods (ie, Seth, Loki, Satan, Jezebel, Fenrir) unless you want them to become evil later on.
Skills can be elemental magic, ie Fire/Ice/Water/Earth/Elec/Wind. Also available are Light/Dark spells, which instantly kill a target (the first spells have a very low chance of working, though). Physical attacks, Status spells, Healing magic is all available too, so pick two types of attacks. Spell names I'll go into later.
Example form:
Name: Julian Cielo
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Weapon: Mace
Arcana: Emperor
Persona: Odin
Skills: Phys/Elec
