Wait and you will see,
Nothing will change about you,
Though the world travels on.
Confront yourself.
Find your potential.
If you are idle,
Danger will befall your world.
No one else can step up to this task.
What changes will you make,
Or will you wait for nothing to come?

“Igor are you sure this will work?” She paced back and forth from within the Velvet room while Igor watched with an amused look.
“My dear, I’ve been in this business long enough to know my craft. There’s no need to worry.” He smiled, looking to his two new assistants preparing at the other side of the room.
“You’re right, as always, and it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I just know how… unpredictable this can be.” The young woman in the room gestured helplessly to Igor. A small fairy fluttered around her shoulders as she walked.
“Just trust and have patience. You’ll see if you keep your eyes open.” To that the girl rolled her eyes, but she seemed less anxious. She also watched his assistants with mild curiosity, but she knew she could never really understand how they worked.
“Alright, alright. Nyx and I will be on watch the next few days. Hopefully it won’t take long-”
“It won’t. It can’t. Things are tipping out of our favor, but we are not helpless. Now then, things are ready so run along. You’ll get the help you need soon.” The young woman nodded and the fairy disappeared in a puff of sparkles. She hesitated with her hand on the only door in the room, but shook her head and left. She needed to be ready for school starting tomorrow morning. It might be an interesting year this time around.

“We need more test subjects,” Dr. Hawtorn grumbled, more to himself than the person in his office. He looked over an assortment of papers, eyes darting across the words and charts spread upon his desk. For a moment he glanced up.
“I understand school is starting for you, but it should be the perfect breeding grounds. We can hire some help for you as well.” He waited for a response. The figure shifted, but remained silent for a moment, thinking.
“No, I should be able to manage. In fact, there is someone I have in mind. Give me one week.” Dr. Hawthorn nodded to the figure in approval.
“In that case, come back when you’ve done what you can. I’ll be interested if you can actually open a dungeon. Then again, with the start of the school year, I’m sure there are heaps of stress you can utilize.” He continued on for a while longer before wishing his assistant luck and waving them away. They would need to get a good night's sleep for school tomorrow morning. It was looking to be an exciting year.

Cantillion Academy is beginning yet another year of school in the cooling month of September. The whole tri-city area is affected by the families preparing, buying supplies, and the students lamenting or celebrating, squeezing those last minutes of freedom out of summer. There is an energy in the air that none can ignore.
As a student, you may be diligently packing the perfect notebooks or perhaps you are lounging at the strip mall with a smoothie in one hand, phone in the other. Regardless of the next few days, you will be attending Cantillion Academy. You will live in the dorms, eat the cafeteria food, and study with your classmates. Most likely though, that will not be the only things that happen. You can feel the energy too, can’t you?
I cannot say how it will turn out, but you will be wrapped up in a new world of powers you have never seen before. You will choose. You will be willing to step into this realm of Persona and Shadows. It will be different from your past years at school, but it will not be a bad change. In fact, if done well, you will be able to grow from the experience. Done poorly though, and you will experience the full consequences of your actions. This is not simply fun and games; this is a serious threat to the world that few have the ability to change anything about. But you do.
So, now that you have chosen, what actions will you take, Persona user?
Choose wisely.
-------------------------------------------
In this game, you will take on the role of a student attending Cantillion Academy that gets… involved with the events that will transpire the first week of school. Multiple tragedies plagued the tri-city this summer including fatal car accidents, missing children, an increase in crime, and some businesses going bankrupt and closing. Negative emotions from these events have left people prime targets for Shadows; manifestations and emitters of negative human emotion. Using your Persona, you can fight the Shadows and protect humanity from a terrible fate. More will be explained below, including your student profile, but be sure you are willing to go through with this before moving on. As it has been said, these events are serious and will test your character to their limit.

The Realm of Shadows and Persona
Here is a small list of helpful terms regarding some of the important parts of the Persona lore we will come across. I will explain other major points of lore as they come up, be they from my own creation or a piece of the Persona series. No need to have played any of the games, but familiarize yourself with the following as we will run into these ideas throughout the game. Here is a link to the Persona Wiki in case you are interested in reading further on anything.
Persona: A Persona represents the believable identity created by an individual. Once meeting the right conditions, a person can summon their Persona through an Evoker or purely through willpower (Evokers will not be used in this RP). They take the form of a mythical creature, deity, warrior, spirit, or many other possibilities and they belong to a realm separate from our own.
Shadows: A Shadow represents the repressed or unconscious, sometimes primal feelings of an individual. When the right conditions are meet, Shadows may appear in our world and attack humans. They belong to the same realm as Persona and come in just as many different forms.
Velvet Room: A room with mysterious properties that exists between realms. People are allowed entry by being invited with an escort or by signing a contract to allow permanent access. Signing the contract also grants a person the ability to freely summon their Persona once previous conditions have been met.

Character Information
Name: Katherine “Kat” Dyson
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Arcana: Magician
Description:
Kat has a soft, young face with light skin and freckles. She has dull, orange hair like autumn leaves with curly volume. It’s short, hanging just past her chin, and has bangs dangling in the front. Her big eyes are bright green and expressive, as is the rest of her face. She stands around five and half feet having a lean and muscular build. Kat also has various scars. The most prominent is along her right arm; it’s two inches long going in the direction of her inner wrist to elbow.
Kat wears casual clothes. She nearly never wears anything with sleeves and instead goes for loose tank tops and short sleeved hoodies. Almost always in jeans during the colder months, she only wears dresses or skirts for formal events. In the heat of summer, she wears cargo or denim shorts. She has a few outfits for working out and always has one spare outfit handy in case of Shadow attacks. She has a pair of brown work gloves for wielding her weapon without getting blisters. Her accessories are plain diamond studs in her ears, a black and silver bracelet with the word ‘Dream’ embossed in the silver section, and a small cross on a golden chain.
Normally she has a relaxed stature. She isn’t anxious about much and stands with a lean, hip popped out, most of the time. She will fiddle with her necklace if she’s nervous and rests her hand on her check when she’s thinking about something. Being a teacher, she’s mastered the glare that gets students to behave and and quickly shift to casual, fun teacher to the disciplining, angry one. She has a slight accent leftover from her days in England that has subdued over the years.
Personality: Kat has a commanding, and demanding, personality. She is confident in herself and dislikes being bossed around. Teaching can sometimes be a struggle with all the regulations she needs to adhere to, but she is also a creative teacher and often gets away with things she shouldn’t. In fact, she’s often very impulsive and makes decisions without thinking about the outcome. She has quick solutions, but they sometimes put her into a new predicament. She will react to things as they happen with little concern for the future and consequences. She can figure it out as it comes.
Because of this, Kat has been able to develop many talents over the years. She has decent social skills, a flair for acting, and a general resourcefulness. She actually quite enjoys being in the spotlight too. While not completely dramatic, she enjoys attention and uses some of her skills to impress and attract others. She is musical, athletic, and knowledgeable, but never an expert in anything. Her hobbies come and go quickly, but she always retains her ability and knowledge of each one. In general, she has a go with the flow kind of attitude that has her learning new things all the time.
At school, she loves being a teacher. Sure some days are tougher than others, but she feels led to teach people. She has a knack for breaking down complicated subject matters and is constantly using analogies to make things easier to understand. While science is her favorite subject, she is probably able to teach classes in most other subjects because of her well rounded education. She has a certain charisma too that makes her well liked. She is nice to everyone, even giving bullies and rude people a second chance before resorting to snark and sarcasm. She can hold quite the grudge if someone crosses her though. When younger she was a rambunctious kid. That trait has toned down with age, but there are times when she is a noisy, active, and hard to control adult.
History: Kat grew up in England. Her elderly father died when she was young which left her, her mother, and sister in a financial hole. When her sister got the flu, they couldn’t take her to a doctor and she passed away. Kat and her mother moved to the United States in hope that her siblings would be able to help, but it was not looking hopeful. Then one day, when Kat was twelve, her mother never came home. Though her neighbors noticed and called local authorities, she panicked and ran away when the police showed up at her house. She didn’t want to be taken away to some orphanage and was afraid she’d be forced to go to school for the rest of her life. She lived on the streets and jumped from homeless shelters while picking up odd jobs. She learned a lot of useful skills while babysitting, farming, and other jobs which she greatly enjoyed. She made enough money to get by, but one of the shelters caught on to her and got her sent to school.
Kat went to Highland Academy, her education funded by a kind doner. While not thrilled about going to school and being tied down, her years there were interesting. It was here when she battled a shadow version of herself and summoned her Persona, Nyx for the first time. She made friends with other Persona users and they thwarted a mysterious threat to the city. It was a fun and trying time that taught her a lot about herself. At the end of it all, she asked Igor if she could continue helping him and keep fighting Shadows to protect people. He agreed and extended her contract with new terms. With a new goal, Kat decided to get her degree in education and teach at school. The decision came from the idea that students were most likely to become Persona users and she wanted to help lead them through the trials of learning about everything that comes with it. Since then, she has been working her way up and got a position at Cantillion Academy three years ago. She quickly built a reputation as a great teacher, if a bit of a troublemaker for the administrative staff. She has been dealing with any minor Shadow outbreaks as they come and has her eyes peeled for any signs of other Persona users. Things have been escalating and she is worried that things could get out of hand if she’s on her own.

Persona Information
Name: Nyx
Description: Nyx is a fairy about nine inches in height. She has a very human appearance aside from her long pointed ears and pair of light, dragonfly wings. Her skin is light and flawless. She has short, thin, black hair that looks similar to Kat’s but straighter. She has earrings that look like small chunks of gold peeking from her hair. Her eyes are a deep, dark blue, large and childlike. Her four wings are icy blue and translucent, constantly vibrating unless she’s asleep or extremely tired. Nyx’s outfit is mostly white with gold embellishments. Her top is a shoulderless halter top with long sleeves ending with gold, lacy designs. Her bottom is a short, thin white skirt layered with white petals and spring green leaves. She keeps her arrows in a plain, brown quiver slung over her wings. Her bow is made of wood which she usually carries or sling over one shoulder rather than trying to reach over her wings.
Personality: Nyx is a fun and playful pixie. She flutters about care-free, but eager for excitement. She can be a bit on the wild side and will make things exciting if she has to. A practical joker, she enjoys teasing her friends and playing some fun, safe, jokes on those she’s close to. Around strangers, she is a bit more cautious and waits for Kat to be comfortable before starting to try and make a new friend. She has a similar charm that Kat has and really enjoys making new friends. Nyx can be stubborn to a fault. She likes it her way and her way only, or Kat’s way. She can also be a bit rash and say the first thing that comes to mind, but she regrets anytime she truly hurts someone's feelings. She just can’t always help herself. She often acts childish as well. She can whine when she doesn’t get her way and throw small tantrums if she’s really upset. Also she has a sense of wonder like a child. She is fascinated by what others consider unimportant and she isn’t ashamed to show how excited she is.
Abilities: Nyx carries a quiver that holds around 30 arrows that she replenishes during or after a fight. She relies on her magic in combat combined with the mini projectiles. Her magic consists of a variety of powders she can produce from her hand. The powder that has an effect of her choice including a powder that causes paralysis, sleepiness, poison, numbing, blurry vision, healing, increased adrenaline, and increased perception and reaction time. She can fly in closely to sprinkle it on enemies or allies or apply it to one of her arrows and fire it from a range, into a target to deal damage or past one to apply the effect without harming them with the arrow. She is also closely connected with nature and is able to communicate with plants and animals.

Description: What does your Persona look like? They come in many forms, as mentioned in the section on Persona lore. Even if you pick what you believe to be a well known mythical creature or hero, please give a detailed description, as if you are seeing it for the first time. (1+ Paragraph)
Personality: How does your Persona behave? It is a part of you and will reflect areas of your own personality, though still being only a reflection. It will differ from you, but is still part of your identity so keep that in mind while writing. (1+ Paragraph)
Abilities: What powers does your Persona possess? They will have a handful of abilities of your choosing. Don’t get carried away, we could have a large cast of characters with many powerful allies, but be creative and descriptive.
