Highschool. Quite a difficult thing to deal with, even without having to deal with a multitude of other things. It's hard, but you're capable of getting through it. Everything's going just fine, life is normal.

Until you had a strange dream and woke up in a place called the Velvet Room. A strange man with has struck a deal with you, and now it's your job to stop a major conspiracy by stealing people's hearts. But there's no way you can do this alone, so it seems like you might just have to add another thing to balance.

So, now instead of just high school and maybe the occasional after-school thing, you have to deal high school, a massive conspiracy and making friends.

Just try to live an honest student life, okay?

If you've made it this far, I'm excited! I'll be explaining a lot because there's, as far as I am currently aware, only one other person on the wiki right now who's actually played the game. Even if you know nothing about the game, that's fine! That's exactly why I'm explaining everything!

So, even if you know next to nothing about the game, don't worry! You can still join and have fun!

INFO

In this section, I'll be going over a few things. I'll be explaining the Velvet Room, Shadows, Palaces, and their rulers, Personas and their users, and a few other things, like the locations and what Confidants are.

--

VELVET ROOM:

The Velvet Room is a place between mind and matter, conscious and subconscious. Its inhabitants include Igor and the assistants he has who stay with him. Its appearance differs from person to person, but only those with a contract are its guests.

--

PALACES & THE METAVERSE:

The Metaverse is another world, one which can only be accessed by an app that shall be given by Igor. Inside the Metaverse are places called Palaces. The 'major' Palace or the reoccurring on is Mementos. It is referred to as the Prison of Sloth and is the Palace of the General Public. It has no specific ruler, and outside of the Depths, it is constantly rearranging itself, meaning the layout of a level is never the same.

Specific Palaces with actual rulers vary in appearance and are bound to a specific place. To enter them, one must know the name of the target and the appearance of the Palace, which are referred to as 'keywords'. These Palaces only appear when someone's desires are strong enough that they can overpower the cognition of others. These Palaces attract Shadows, who become guards. They forget who they once were, but one with the Wild Card ability could strike up a Negotiation, and maybe just make them remember who they are.

--

LOCATIONS:

Unfortunately, explaining all of them would make this already long post even longer. Fortunately, the SMT wiki (smt is an abbreviation for the parent series of the game) has a whole list of locations! The only locations that do not exist/are not important unlike the game are the Palaces OTHER THEN Mementos, Café Leblanc, and the specific character locations (like Sojiro's home, the doctor's office, and a few other locations listed on specific pages, mainly relating to specific Confidants from the game). If you're not sure, just ask me and I'll explain! Of course, this doesn't mean you can't have a location be important to your character and have it frequented by them.

--

CONFIDANTS:

And last, but not least, Confidants! These will function similar to the Confidants of Persona 5, but, like Social Links, can decrease, as you all will be controlling the Confidants, and obviously if your character doesn't like the shit the wild card is pulling, they wouldn't exactly want to work with them on furthering their friendships or whatever their Confidant may be.

While every Persona user in the team will be a Confidant, not every Confidant is a Persona user. Kind of like the square is a rectangle but not vise versa rule, except Persona users are squares and Confidants are rectangles.

The Confidants follow the Major Arcana of Tarot Cards, like Hermit, Magician, Lovers, Hanged Man, etc., etc, so there will only be 22 available Confidants. One of these, the Fool, 0 in the deck, actually automatically goes to Igor, so in reality, there are spots for 21 Confidants. Confidants are just the major characters, but preferably not all of these will be filled with Persona Users because that would be a lot of people. More than one person can fall under an Arcana, such as Caroline and Justine in Persona 5, who make up The Strength Arcana.

RULES

Wow, we finally made it here! Well, let's go over the rules!


 * Character Forms must be filled out. This is because the only character actually coming from any pre-existing media is Igor because he runs the Velvet Room. Characters may be exempted from this on a case by case basis. Shadow Selves for pre-existing characters do not need forms, but they should be accurately described in an introduction post if they do get introduced.


 * Characters must be original. If I catch wind that you're basically copy-pasting a character and just changing things slightly in an attempt to slip a pre-existing past my radar, there will be consequences, which include being stripped of said character. If that character was already established and important, then someone will replace them.


 * While banter between characters is fine, banter between roleplayers is not. There should not be arguing, and insulting the roleplayers themselves will not be permitted, and may result in a loss of roles.


 * There will be absolutely no R34 type things at all. While romantic relationships are allowed, they shouldn't become a major thing, and if they start toeing the line I will immediately strike it down. And, they must make sense between characters and you cannot force someone to have their character be in a relationship with yours. It must be a mutual agreement.


 * While swearing will happen, and I'll even permit characters to swear like a sailor if it ties into their characters, if you use a slur, you will be kicked out of the roleplay and further action may be taken by the mods of the wiki as they see fit.


 * Please, have fun and enjoy the roleplay!

FORMS

I'll make the form, explain what each thing means, and fill out examples. Not every form will have an original character for its form, however, as for now, I will not be controlling that many characters. In the case that I do not have a character to fill out the form with as an example, I will use a canon character as an example. These will be specified, and these characters will not be used in roleplay.

Example

Name: Himari Ichika (向日葵 千花)

Gender: Female

Personality: Ichika is a quiet girl around people she's just met, preferring to watch and try and figure out people before saying anything. She's observant but can get unbelievably snarky, which doesn't exactly go well with everyone. She tries not to get mean, but it really depends on the person she's talking to.

Persona: Cassidy

Persona skillset: Currently, it includes, Snap, Agi, and Taunt. Cassidy is a mainly Gun/Fire Persona.

Arcana: Fool

Appearance: Ichika is a second year at Shujin Academy, and can be spotted wearing the uniform during school days with her brownish hair up in a simple ponytail. Her civilian clothes include a simple black pleated skirt, thigh socks, and an unlabeled grey hoodie. Her hair is generally still up, but instead of the typical shoes in the school uniform, she just wears simple black and white sneakers. Her Metaverse outfit resembles that of an old western cowboy outfit, and her mask is a black bandit mask.

Other: Her Persona is not awakened yet. Yet.

EXAMPLE (MEMENTOS SHADOW)

Shadow Name: Viscid Rotting Meat

True Name/Persona name: Slime

Appearance masked: Like all upper-level Mementos Shadows, the unmasked appearance of the shadow is a black, bulky humanish figure with what can be best described as red veins covering it.

Appearance unmasked: Unmasked, I believe its name describes it decently well. It is exactly what it sounds like, a pile of greenish slime with deep red eyes and a constantly open mouth.

Skillset: Tarunda, Self Destruct

Weaknesses/Resistances: Resists Physical attacks, but Weak to both Fire and Wind.
