Megami Tensei: Inner Demons (SIGN UPS)

[Mystic_clown]

As far as science and exploration goes, we humans feel as though the world holds no more secrets from us. We have explored every possible location on this world, learnt how it works, and how some things came to be. We have explored the past, and seen things within the human body unheard of in years past. In this day and age, many believe that humans know everything there is to know about the world around us.

Those who believe that, know very little of what this world truly holds…

They fail to see beyond what most regular people see. They regard anything outside their way of thinking as nonsense, even to the point they ignore what is right in front of them. There is more to this world than what famous explorers have seen. Different places that cannot be accessed by normal means, only by ways that scientists would consider foolish make believe. And it simply does not stop with just these places alone. There’s also their inhabitants.

Demons…

Considered legend in ancient times, and now mere illusions today, Demons take many forms, inhabiting these strange worlds, and on very few occasions, even go to the plane that can be considered “Our world”. It was maybe these trips that caused them to be involved in human legend to begin with. Yet despite this, most people who happen to see these rare occurrences try to ignore it, fooling themselves into thinking they were hallucinating. Not only do they ignore what is in front of them, but they ignore the demons within their very soul. Beings made up of themselves, fragments of their souls that they hide away.

These demons are known as Personas

However, these demons aren’t doomed to stay dormant forever. There are people in this world who have discovered how to unlock these inner demons, to harness their power, whether for good or ill. Whether those who choose to ignore them know it or not, these people are the new heroes and villains of this word.

This is the story of the Personas, and those who wield them.

Megami Tensei: Inner Demons

Greetings and welcome. This is an RPG based on the Megami Tensei games. This isn’t based on one particular series of the games, but rather a mix of many of them, such as the Persona series, Nocturne, and the Kuzunoha Raido series.

In order to save space, information about this world this RPG takes place in, the personas, etc. has been written up in a glossary found here: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/sh...090#post412090 (note, it will be edited as the RPG goes along)

Please, for now at least, the major antagonists will be NPCs, played by myself or anyone I choose who I feel will do a good job, please remember that.

I would appreciate it if skilled, dedicated Roleplayers joined this. This is an RPG I plan to keep going for a while (I’m not even sure when it will end), so I would really appreciate it if you would all help my keep this thing alive.

Name: Tenma Yochiro (last name, first name)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: he stands at five foot nine, with a slender build, a healthy complexion, and a thin face. He has dirty blonde hair tied back into a ponytail, with a couple of bangs at the front framing his face, and deep chocolate eyes. Normally he’s seen wearing a school uniform, though outside of school he wears a grey jacket (done up) with a white undershirt, black pants and matching shoes.
Personality: Tenma could be best summed up as a nerd. Highly intelligent, and usually fond of puzzles and games that require intellect, particularly chess. However, he’s not exactly the bravest individual, finding it hard to say no and will often fly rather than fight. As a result, it’s easy for people to use him. He’s a bit socially awkward as well.
Weapon: None.
History: In his school, Yochiro can be best summed up as a nerd. Often playing chess, studying and reading, the guy doesn’t have much of a social life. As a result, it’s kind of easy from someone to take advantage of the guy. Not really much to say about his past. His father is a business man, constantly on business trips and travelling the world (and there’s some suspicion he’s having an affair with his assistant). His mother as a result stays at home, and Yochiro spends most of his time helping her. As a result of this, he doesn’t really have much of a social life.
Relations: None, for now.
Other:

Persona
Name: Kuropawn
Appearance: Kuropawn can be best described as a black, androgenous suit of armour, with a small, red crest on the chest in the shape of a shield. The armour is not joined together, rather small gaps between each piece and appears as if some force is holding them in a humanoid shape. Its hands are enormous, almost like claws, and where is face should be is just a blank plate. It normally holds its hands in front of it, as if it’s covering or shielding itself.
Personality: It’s usually quiet, normally only speaking when spoken to, and even then, it says as little as possible. It’s voice is soft and hollow, and tends to refer to people as ‘liege’ or ‘Malady’, medieval terms.
Representation: He partiality represents Tenma’s fondness for chess, but his place as a pawn symbolises his feeling of ill worth about himself, plus how easy it is to take advantage of him.
Powers: Kuropawn’s powers seem to be more defence oriented. Whether it’s drawing attacks towards itself, raising protective shielding, or even reflecting attacks. However, it seems to have no offensive powers.
-Strength: It’s resistant towards physical attacks, and can absorb death based attacks no problem.
-Weakness: It’s quite vulnerable to life based attacks. Also, while it’s skilled at defending, its attack power is abysmal.
