Welcome to the Velvet Room. If you are a member of the Persona RP, or are curious about joining, you are more than welcome to post here.

Please pardon our dust. This was our original recruitment thread as well. Official OOC business as of the actual RP's creation begins on Page 12.

Everything under the following spoiler tag has been re-stated in the actual RP in a much neater fashion. It is being kept here merely for the sake of keeping records. It would be pointless for you to open the spoiler tag at this point. Truly, it would.

I'm looking to start an RP situated in the world of Shin Megami Tensei's Persona universe. I would like to co-own the RP with at least 2 other people. If you might be interested, please post here so that we may discuss details.

If you don't know what the Persona games are, but would still like to participate, here are links to the Persona 3 and Persona 4 pages on TV Tropes.

If you would like to see the different personae from the games, here is a YouTube video that browses through the compendium from Persona 4.

Sample Character Sheet

Here is my personal character sheet, which I'll use as a completed sample for now.

Username: Reyoki
Character Name: Missy Lockley
Brief Character History: Missy has traveled all over the world with her family's acting troupe. When she reached High School age, though, her folks thought it would be best to settle down. Unlike the cast of jolly characters her family is, Missy is a rather sharp-tongued individual with a hair trigger temper and a very dry sense of humor. She manages her family's theatre on weekends and is a shrewd negotiator.
Character Appearance: She's rather on the short side with long midnight black hair and icy blue eyes. Her skin is somewhat pale from spending so much time in a dark theatre, and that coupled with her slender build gives her a false look of frailty.
Initial Persona: Hua Po
Persona Abilities: Agilao, Fire Break, Maragi, Rakukaja, Rakunda, Makajam
Secondary Persona: Yatsufusa
Persona Abilities: Agidyne, Maragidyne, Megido, Mediarama, Mind Charge, Masukukaja

Other RP members include the following.

Username: RyuFierce
Character Name: Konrad Weber
Brief Character History: Konrad was born in Germany but his parents moved to [insert country here]. He became a member of the SCA and learned the ways of armored combat. He is also has experience in making armor out of many types of materials. He's a loner at school and normally is either working his part time job, tinkering with new armor or at fighters' practice after school. Normally he's very selfish and only becomes friends with a person if he thinks it will benefit him. Eventually though he becomes attached to them against his better judgement.

Username: Mizeria
Character Name: Cirya Kane
Brief Character History: Cirya is a calm, kind-heart soul. She can get happy-go-lucky when she is around her loved ones. She makes friends easily (or so it appears), but because she travels so much she doesn't have much time with them. Whether or not her happiness is just a mask to keep her at a distance to everyone else or it is pure true happiness no one can guess. She is easy going and loves life even when things are hard, but if anyone threatens her family or friends she will strike with a vengeance that would be most stunningly elegant if it wasn't so terribly violent and chaotic. She is like the earth itself, and even with all her beauty, grace, and kindness she has her dark moments too.

When Cirya was young she lost most of her family in a horrid raid. Total destruction of her little village in the middle of no where. Between the fires burning all around her, and the raping and killing of everyone she knew Cirya lost a bit of herself that day. She can't remember how she is alive or if anything was done to her. She woke up months later in a back alley of the slums. Somehow she managed to find a place for herself, but the nightmares still haunt her dreams. She takes odd jobs now to get by. If she needs the cash she'll do just about anything. She never takes anyone to the little corner of this hell she calls hers and she makes sure no one ever followers her there. She is extremely paranoid and unforgiving.
Character Appearance: Bronze Skin, tanned from all the time she is outside. Bright clover green eyes that reflect her happiness and chaotic joy. Long curly redish-brown hair thats normally tied back away from her face in a pony tail so she can she what she is doing. She is normally dressed in neutral earthy tones. She wears mostly pants and t-shirts because they are easy to move around in and it won't matter if they get dirty, but can dress well when its need.
Initial Persona: Angel
Persona Abilities: Hama, Patra, Garu, Dia, Sukukaja, Charmdi
Secondary Persona: Cybele
Persona Abilities: Samarecarm, Megidola, Mediarahan, Vicious Strike, Amrita, Mediarama

The RP will take place a year after the events of Persona 4. However, instead of using the TV World, we will be using a Mirror World.
