Persona: The Clockwork God
GM: Breaeden "Luzy" Swordwind
Co-GMs: Maid Mia and Marudashi
*Approved by Maid Mia*



The year is 2025. And the time does not exist. For there is a hidden hour between one day and the next and in this hour lurk demons , an hour which the vast majority of humans are unaware. But there are those who have been given the power to enter this time and can tap into its power. But what will they use this power for? The destruction of man? Its salvation? At what cost? This remains to be seen, for the pages are just now turning in this forbidden book.


Pan Des Moines High School: A private high school set in the capital of Iowa. There were rumors at one point of occult practices occurring at the school about five years ago but these were stamped out. The school always seems to attract the darker parts of human nature and those rumors are perhaps merely a symptom of this tendency.


As a school though Pan Des Moines is well-known for having the strongest academic record in the mainland United States, having birthed the CEOs of several major companies, all of whom often make large donations to the school.


But there is one strange thing about the school. It cannot be entered during the Dark Hour. The entire grounds of the school are encased completely within a large dome.


Dark Hour: A secret hour tucked between one day in the next from 12:00 to 12:01. During this time most people exist in stasis within coffins, water turns to blood, complex mechanical and electrical devices do not function, and demons of all descriptions roam free. The demons use this time to crack into the coffins that encase the living and try to devour their spirits, leaving them soulless shells. However, there are a few who are given the ability to move during this time. These are the wielders of the gift/curse known as Persona.


Shadows: The entities which exist within the Dark Hour and feed off the souls of those trapped in stasis. It is the mission of the Sinners to eliminate these creatures and discover the mysteries surrounding their existence.

Persona: A persona is the personification of an individual’s spirit, hence the name. It draws power from the individuals will and grows along with its wielder. All power of the individual comes from the persona which must be summoned each time it is required with a gun-like device called an Evoker. The Evoker fires no bullets, but rather a spiritual force into the individual temporarily forcing the persona out of the individuals body and allowing it to take physical form for a brief period of time. This normally lasts a few seconds but it can go up to 10 seconds before the Persona’s physical form disintegrates and it returns to the wielder’s mind. This can be used repeatedly but each use drains the wielder’s physical and mental health. Over exertion with a Persona can cause fainting and illness, thus the wielder must also learn, to a varying extent, ways of defending his or herself without their persona. An individual will normally only ever have one Persona but certain persona specialists can have more, though they can only ever use on at any given time.


Persona’s draw power from the actions of their summoner. An action by the summoner which would be an inversion of their own spiritual code (which the persona represents) would cause that persona to weaken.


Seven Sinners: There are seven persona users, each attached to a particular deadly sin, who were given the greatest of powers. Ultimate Free Will. No one knows why fate deigned to give these Seven that greatest gift but given it has been. Each of these individuals have been drawn by fate before their release to Pan Des Moines High School and into a particular co-ed dorm, dorm 2-B. The Dark Hour came and they were each awoken by a knock at the door. A paper was slid under the door the door and a voice called, “You forgot to fill out the forms. Just some of the usual stuff.”
Each signed the contract which read: “I Choose this path of my own free will.”


The Sins and Persona of each are as follows
Pride: Lucifer
Envy: Leviathan
Wrath: Satan
Sloth(Indecisiveness): Belphegor
Avarice: Mammon
Gluttony: Beezlebub
Lust: Asmodai


Each of the wielders are from here out completely bound to the choices they make but free from all other influence. Will they use this as an opportunity for their past sins or will they choose to continue as they are? And what does the future hold?
Also, it should be noted that the Sinners have just awakened to the power of Persona


Varieties of Persona Users:

Combat Specialists: These individuals focus on their power outside of their Persona. They tend to be skilled with weapons and completely capable of handling themselves without the aid of there persona during most small scrimmages. However, their Personas are correspondingly weaker.


Balanced: These Personas mix both combat abilities with their Persona. Their individual Persona Is strong and well developed and the user himself can still defend himself.

Persona-Specialist: These Individuals are able to wield multiple Persona and can switch between them in the middle of battle. However, developing each of these Personas prevents the wielder from becoming skilled with weapons.

Shadow-wielder (Louis Only): This individual has been infected by a Shadow, one of the demonic spirits that lurks within the dark hour. However, unlike other victims he seems to still have the ability to function as a normal human being and has retained his sanity. Not only that but he can let the Shadow/Persona take over his body for short periods of time. This functions almost exactly as summoning a Persona the only difference being rather than creating a physically separate body Louis sacrifices control of his own. However, he cannot fully control the shadow and it constantly attempts to break free of his will.



Notes for creating characters:
1) 1. If your making a sinner try to make their sin an integral part of their story and do so in a creative manner. I realize that for some sins this will be difficult such as Gluttony though this could be interpreted as Cannibalism or such like.


2) The sinners are by nature bad people. Though may have certain heroic attributes they are by no means heroic.


3) Sinners are indeed locked into a persona but only nominally, you can do whatever you want with that persona.


4) If you make a Persona-specialized Sinner, while they must have the required Persona they can have another of your own design.


5) The RP starts just after they each sign the contract, in case anyone needs that piece of information.

Sample Character Sheets
Name: Evi Valentin' (Simply known as 'V') (Rped by Maid Mia)
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Persona: Leviathan (Envy)
Type of Persona user: Balanced
Appearance: [click here (http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/w-KEI/V-3.jpg)]
Personality: V is a loner, not because she takes on the appearance of an outcast, but rather because she is unable to keep friends due to her stuck up attitude and temperamental behavior. Anyone she finds superior to her in any way immediately becomes an enemy. Though often silent and cold she is known to erupt into fits of rage when confronted with inferiority to another. (i.e., someone getting more attention than herself, looking better then herself, or doing better at something then herself.)
V is obsessive when it comes to latest fashion styles, being thin, being good at sports, or flaunting her wealth and feels it necessary to prove that she is more deserving of these things then others at all times. Sadistic in a sense, she delights in causing misery to others by making them to fall from grace and making them look bad by tarnishing their reputation or taking away their coveted items/abilities. She is constantly asking herself "What do they have that I don't?"
Bio: V both loves herself and hates herself at the same time. Although she believes that she should be labeled as superior to others, she constantly deems herself as inferior in comparison no matter the achievements and possessions she already has. This is in part due to the way she was raised as a child. Her father was a wealthy stock broker, her mother was a trophy wife, and her older brother was their golden child. Next to her brother she was deemed a nuisance, constantly put down while her brother was put on a pedestal. Abused mentally and physically, an inferiority complex soon nested itself in her young mind, along with a hate toward anyone who was better than she. She was constantly in trouble at school, picking fights with other girls, boys and even the staff.
Less than a year ago, she concocted a scheme that would cause her brother to lose everything he and her parents had worked so hard for him to attain. She got him kicked out of school; he lost his scholarships and was put in juvenile detention for the next three years. Though there was never any proof she had done a thing, her parents suspected it nonetheless and, not wanting her anywhere near them, sent her off to Pan Des Moines High, where she now resides.

Appearance: http://www.dokuganryu.com/scans/megaten/p3/art15.jpg
http://blog24.fc2.com/k/kitakamiffac/file/20060820P3-mitsuru.jpg
Personality: Lilith is known as the school flirt. She tends to use her looks to get what she wants, and tends to be stuck-up at times. Shes also been known to flirt with the male teachers in order to get passing grades. However, when Lilith is around Louis, her attention focuses solely on him and trying to please him.
Bio: Lilith was born from a burlesque dancer and an unknown father. She was raised there for some time by several of the dancers and her mother, thus her vast knowledge in seduction. She was raised to see men as nothing more than a money source [and the occasional ‘pleasure toy’] and nothing more. When her mother died from gaining AIDS [though its unknown whether it was from sex or drugs], Lilith was sent to Pan Des Moines High by the burlesque house owner. Once Lilith graduates, she is expected to return there and become a dancer herself.

Type of Persona User: Shadow-Wielder
Appearance:http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/Breaeden/main3.jpg
Personality: At first he it is difficult to determine what his personality is because he wears a face that can only be called “Ambiguous” . However, he has been shown to possess a amount of intelligence and knowledge that would put him well past the level of high school, though he stipulates that he forgot many things in addition to his memories. He tends to keep to himself and despises people who ask for help and people who offer to give it, for in his mind those who cannot survive on their own are unworthy of life.
Bio: He does not remember much about his past. He woke up in a hospital from a coma not long before he transferred to Pan Des Moines High with no memories of the past. This coma was brought on by being possessed by a Shadow, though how he recovered from it remains a mystery. However, the Shadow, Lucifer, still remains inside Louis’ body and often attempts to rest control from him. His parents were dead but he had relatives with wealth and he was sent to Pan Des Moines. The last Sinner to arrive, he was put in dorm 2-B the night that the contracts were signed.
The Sin he committed to be among the sinners is unknown at this time.

Name: Xavier Maddock
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Persona: Avarice [Mammon]
Type of Persona User: Balanced
Appearance: http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/8758/bakablack2qf9.jpg
Personality: Xavier is well known in the school as the rich kid. Everyone tries to keep to his good side because he is known for his little "favours" and outwardly, he is everybody's friend. However, he is scorned behind his back because he always has some strings attached to any "favours" he gives out and only the truly desperate ask him for money.
Bio: Xavier was born with a silver spoon. As the only son of the one the richest couples in the world, he was showered with luxuries on his every waking moment. Growing up, he was accustomed to getting whatever he wanted and everything he had, he hoarded. He was never satisfied and was always out to get more.He inherited the vast multibillion dollar conglomerate his parents owned at the young age of fourteen when they tragically died when the plane they had chartered crashed into the vast rainforests of the Amazon, never to be recovered. With the resources he inherited, he began to systematically inject his own personal touches into everything his parents once held dear until it was no longer recognizable for what it was before. Still not satisfied with what he had, he enrolled at Pan Des Moines High School just to see what all the hype sorrounding it was about and of course, to see if what it was could be addded to his personal empire.

Philosophy: Everything will be mine, one way or the other.
Abilities:
Miser's Clutch: Forcefully absorbs half an enemy's life force. Only works when the enemy has been caught unawares.
Coward's Shield: Drains sorrounding personas' energy to create a barrier around himself.
Midas' Illusion: Blinds the enemy with illusions of riches and grandeur leaving him exposed to attacks. A deadly combination when used with the Miser's Clutch ability.

*edit* fixed the link. Sorry about that, forgot to change the settings when I coloured it a long time ago.

Name: Mike Fletwood
Age: 16
Sex: Male.
Persona: Belphegor, Rhiannon
Type of Persona user: Persona-Specialist
Appearance: Mike is nothing spectacular in any area. He wears somber, quiet shirts and jeans. His plain black hair is drawn into a plain arrangement, his eyes are an unnoteworthy brown. His features are pleasantly bland.
Personality: Mike is "easy like Sunday morning," as the song goes. He's seemingly detatched from his surroundings, as he hardly ever comments on them, because he doen't care. Indifference is his defining trait, but it's mixed with realism, the latter of which leads to some quiet descisions.
Bio: Mike led a normal childhood, give or take. Where he grew up, they were a good ways outside of town, seperating Mike from quick access to material posessions and a large number of friends(only two other children lived in his neighborhood). As such, he developed a strong streak of indifference to things. However indifferent he is, he has long since realized that he has to face reality to survive. As such, he can almost be called a model student. He does work quietly and efficently, doesn't cause trouble. However, he's introverted due to his indifference to things.

Name: Bephegor
Appearance: Belphegor is simply a tarlike blob. It can roll around, when its made to do so. It's primary purpose is defense, as its material and bulk are proof against many attacks.
Philosophy: One is as good as another, why do either? Abilities: None. Belphegor simply is.

Oh, and feel free to PM with comments, questions, concerns, and suggestions. I like to keep this RP closely knit and I maintain a very strong, open door policy so don't hesitate to click on my name and drop the menu down to "send private message"

This is especially true for people who are debating whether or not to join or who might want direction with character design. I'm more than willing to make time to help an RPer

Normal Persona User Sheet:
Name: Timmothy Farella
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Occupation: Student
Persona: Abyssal
Type of Persona User: balanced
Appearance: Here (http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/TKolliker/?action=view&current=Knast_Kuakuu.jpg)
Personality: Tim, also called Timmeh or a variety of various nick names seems like an upbeat and generally happy person. He has no problems with grudges or such things ( in the norm ), and is quite the liked person at school. Not popular, just respected among any and all the 'social classes'. But inside he figures things through a clockwork of processes, which defines his choices. Like the Abyss filled with light and darkness, his true ways of life are hidden and covered in a mask; like the distance between Earth and black holes that masks their true nature. He's one for detail and notices many things.

Bio:
Timmothy grew up in Michigan, his earlier years taken up by his obsessions with fantasy adventures and playful expeditions with his neighbor friends. He was always a leader in the group and his interests had always rubbed off on those he spent time with. As a child in MI, his parents were caring and supportive, always looking for the best for him. He excelled in elementary school and always did what he was asked unless it would harm him.

But when he reached middle school, a family incident had taken his fantasy filled romantic and higher then heaven attitude to the bottom of his world. His father had been found almost lifeless, or in this case 'soul-less' would be a better term. What he didn't know was that his dad was not transmogrified into a coffin, and he was attacked by a shadow in the middle of the night. This was when he developed a side of 'true' dark emotions. He could feel the choices before him at that point and instantly calculate what he was to do next. He always felt as though his internal clockwork was connected to something else, like one clock under a father clock, and at times the opposite. He either felt confident and open minded, or weak/power hungry and negative.

After his father was left to live with with his grandparents and his mother, Timmothy was sent all the way to Iowa for schooling. His mother thought it would be better to get him out of the house, and so she sent him to PDM High in hopes he'd be able to take the stress of his father's condition from him. He lives in a dorm a few blocks away from the school.

Through his Freshman to Junior years he made his way into the eyes of everyone who would look to see. The teachers love him, and the students bare nothing (At least outwardly) against him. But his Internal clock started to become shaken, interrupted even at times. Something big is before him and he knows it.

Persona Character Sheet:
Name: Abyssal
Appearance: Here (http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/TKolliker/?action=view&current=stardragon.jpg)
Philosophy: Balance, Darkness and light, Unity yet separation, Lifting yet dropping, The Energy and the lack thereof. As stated, Quintessential balance.
Abilities:

Gravleu: Control over the gravity in a certain area. Either lifts it to a willed degree (like on an ally) or increases it (like to hinder a foe)
Photon Ray: A beam of light that shoots from Abyssal's mouth, like a laser with a boom.
Dual Tool: Abyssal splits apart, attacking an enemy with a rush from two sides. (Physical attack.)
Glistening Steel: Enhances a weapon with a small bit of Abyssal energy, depending on the wielder's mood and emotional state the energy is either of Darkness or of Light.

EDIT: It should be noted that the fantasy adventures he used to play had inspired him to learn a bit about fighting later in his life. Because of his mind and the way he thinks, he can adapt to many kinds of weapons. But he mainly uses anything sword like or his fists/knuckle weapons.

Wow. For once there’s a crap load of male instead of a crap load of female character sheets being submitted. This means I can make a female on a clean conscience! *made my week*

Whew... And this character took a while to think up and flesh out but I finally did it! (a couple days! T_T )

Name: Beatrix Burtly
Age: 31
Sex: Female
Occupation: BCIS and Computer Programming Teacher
Persona: Oak
Type of Persona User: Persona-Specialist

Appearance: Beatrix is a relatively attractive woman with long light brown hair that’s always well brushed and straightened and sometimes pulled into a neat, tight bun. Her eyes are a steely, piercing blue that flatter her timid nose and thin lips. She usually wears conservative blouses, skirts and dresses that easily compliment her conventional though beautiful form. She also has an incredible amount of jewelry that she exchanges daily to match her clothes (everything she wears always matches and looks good).

Personality: If there was any one word to describe Beatrix, it would be perfectionism. She has a need to set wrong things right, a need so powerful that it borders on an insane obsession. She organizes her files and books often and can only barely stand to see even a student’s possessions in disarray. As a teacher, she is firm and strict and can easily turn sour. In spite of this, she is on rather friendly terms with some of her students and is quick to praise those who show an effort to learn. She despises not knowing and those who do not seek to correct their lack of knowledge. She also bears little tolerance for those who place faith too easily in things uncertain, which is interesting considering Oak: her persona that bears the likeness of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fate, luck, and fortune. Ms.Burtly is an apt woman that will quickly find a way to adapt to things around her though it rarely means changing herself but rather ‘fixing’ everything around her that she can. She is a highly intelligent woman and seems to exude a higher level of thinking whenever she speaks. She even seems to think of herself in a relatively arrogant sense when concerning her intelligence. However this image of intelligence and self-confidence is a mask, disguising her lack of confidence and her belief that she has a very low level of intelligence.

Bio: When she was younger Beatrix was relatively unpopular even though her modest beauty easily caught the eyes of her classmates. This is because of the feeling that she gives those near to her, and that is a feeling that she cannot be pleased. She had few friends because of this and they tended to be people that were also relatively unliked by others. She was also regarded as somewhat of a ‘nerd’ because of her constant pouring over her books and her intense focus on her studies and school work though it wasn’t quite as severe as the cliché nerd. As far as her home life, her parents were very supportive of her efforts in school and did well, coping with her perfectionism which started early on.



Name: Oak
Appearance: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x189/atm1986/Fortuna.png
Philosophy:
“Ignorance is a condemnable trait so I seek to know and destroy all faces of its image…” and “To conquer the unknown and the uncertain is to conquer all.”
Abilities:
Wheel of Primigenia ~ Done almost as an immediate reaction to enemies, the user disarms their opponent of awareness and any spiritual weapons for a very short period of time. Similar to some one being caught off guard by a blinding flash of light except that this trick uses no lights.

Wheel of Respiciens ~ Bewitches any one target to babble on for a short while about various matters that they have any information about but the target simply reveals everything that happens to be on their mind and the usefulness of the information is not guaranteed.

Wheel of Equestris/Counter-Equestris ~ Immediately covers user in a casing of transparent spiritual armor that impressively increases defense [One effected by it is nearly impervious to all forms of damage] but slows movement considerably until removed. Can be used on some one other than the user but can only be used on one person at a time and only once a day. Counter-Equestris is used to remove the armor at the user’s will. Equestris can only be removed with Counter-Equestris or if severe damage is taken.

Wheel of Redux ~ Strong winds create a barrier between friend and foe, giving the user and allies (if any) immense bursts of speed. Generally used to escape impossible situations. Can only be used once and has no effect on one under the effects of the Equestris.

Wheels of Augusta ~ Upon the spinning of many wheels connected to the user’s form, searing light floods anything within twenty feet of the user, severely scathing and burning anyone (or any thing) within range. It is powerful enough to disolve Equestris and will do so if some one under the effects of Equestris is within range, including the user. However since this technique is so powerful, afterwards the user is immediately ejected from her persona and remains unable to return until the next day.

Good? Or not?

Also, since it doesn't seem like anyone's making gluttony I made one who I will RPing unless someone decides to make gluttony or wants to swipe this guy from me

Name: Vincent Oliver Irnheart Deltoro

Age: 18

Sex: Male

Persona: Beelzebub (Gluttony), Nevermore, Recarn

Type of Persona user: Persona Specialist

Appearance: Black , ill-kempt hair which falls over an equally unmaintained face. His face is deathly pale an somewhat thin despite his massive food intake. His clothes are ratty at best, little more than rags at worse and even his uniform goes uncleaned for weeks at a time. He slouches constantly.

Personality: Constantly jittery but with little ability to release that energy in anything more than random figgiting. Difficult to associate with due to a penchant to talk about random things. Can constantly be seen eating something and never focuses on the task at hand. While not a genius by any stretch he is smart enough to keep from failing his classes despite his lack of ability to concentrate. Beneath the surface he struggles between fatalism, that he will always be the food-scarfing cocaine-sniffing failure he was before, and his desire to change and make a new life for himself.

Bio: Vincent came from a tough family. Both his parents were addicted to various narcotics and he quickly inherited their addictions himself. A personal favorite of his, for a long time, was cocaine. His parents constantly fought about financial issues that neither of them really wanted to solve and while they were distracted he would help himself to their private stashes, which only lead to them distrusting each other even more. By the time he was in the fifth grade he was moved to a foster home where he quickly exihibited withdrawal symptoms(specifically he developed insatiable hunger, paranoia, and insomnia). However, since his drug use was at this time unknown, his foster parent misinterpreted these symptoms and allowed the boy to eat as much as he wanted thinking it was his way of coping with trauma from his earlier family. However, he soon developed an eating disorder and would habitually eat constantly, feeling very uncomfortable when not.
Eventually during his freshman year in high school he once more became addicted to cocaine. Eventually he was caught and put into rehab, which inched along with only moderate and spasmodic success with occasional relapses for two years. Eventually though he was cleared to return to school and has spent a year at Pan Des Moines. He still exhibits his withdrawal symptoms and still has an eating disorder, however his body is still very pale and skinny.

Ookami: Approved. Welcome to the Dark Hour

HecticManiac: I hesitate to approve because Shadows ability is a bit much... could you expand on it and remove the "instant death" part. Other than that it looks good.

Hecticmaniac: your approved but you do realize that "Night Booster" is essentially meaningless because every battle takes place in the Dark Hour which is at night... so... basically everyone is at there best at night and to have a specific skill for it is redundent.

Alright the RP will be up momentarily but I'm just gonna put a preface here to make sure everyone's on the same page.

The RP starts with Louis arrival at the dorm, currently living in the dorm are the six other sinners and Sarah. The next portion is sinner only. All non-Sinners are currently outside the knowledge of Sarah and thus the Sinners. Non-sinners can do what they wish outside the events and after the intro we will start from the Sunday before school starts. Non-sinners can be anywhere, there home, a separate dorm, its your discretion.

That is all...

Here are the grades. Due to the small size of the school and perhaps the hands of fate, all the Persona users in each grade are in an individual Class. This class moves as a unit from room to room since PanDeMo (as its called by the students) offers such a uniformly difficult curriculum.

Sophomore:
Mike
Vincent

Junior Class:
Evi
Lilith
Chris
Paul
Xavier
Mic

Senior:
Louis
Tim

Computer Teacher: Mrs. Burtly

Philosophy and Religion Teacher: Mrs. Thuster

Sex: Male
Occupation: Student
Persona: Angelia
Type of Persona User: Specialist
Appearance: http://www2.uol.com.br/ohayo/anime/materias/materia0910_gantz02.jpg

Personality: Selfish, but if you can get true to him a friend till the end.
Bio: Micy Fellheart is just another normal guy at the block. Ok maybe a little bit too selfish. He never realy had much friends besides his little brother that just kept following him around. In the beginning of his life he mainly was a anime geek. Always reading it even during school, so his marks where low. When he was ready for highschool his parrents got a deforse leaving him and his father alone. This messed-up Mic alot taking away the little trust he had in normal people. But in the end he only realy felt complete when he helped other people in need.

Name: Angelia
Appearance: http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/300W/fs7.deviantart.com/i/2005/229/5/b/Anime_angel_girl_by_ItsSuperSam.jpg
Philosophy: Angelia draws power from the good deeds Mic does.
Abilities:
Touch of Light: With a touch Angelia Heals other people or persona.
Wings of Puraty: Her wings suround herself or other shielding them from harm.
Lambs of Slaught: A small beam comes forth out of the eyes of Anglia and surrounds a friendly target. If the target gets hit Angelia gets the damage instead of the target.
Retribution: Angelia focuses all dmg she has taken or healed in one giant beam to hit an enemy. (she can only use this power once a day)

Luzifer
09-17-2007, 08:31 PM
Hiryonin: Approved but change one thing. Retribution says she unsummons. Personas rarely last more than about 5 seconds never more than 10... its a pretty meaningless balance. Perhaps, she can only use it once a day or a similar cost.

PS: your a junior btw

sorry to double post but I'd also like to note I need a Sinner of Greed, since the one I had until now has dropped... so if anyone wants to create one for that purpose the slot is open...
