PERSONA AND COMBAT

[harmonizemods]

Creating the Persona
The Persona you choose should have some link to your character's outward personality; they are, after all, the mask one uses to face the world. Beyond that, because we're not sticking hard and fast to canonical stats and arcana (which often change anyway), feel free to choose whatever you like, as long as it's reasonably fitting.

Then, choose a general role you plan to have your character play in combat. This can be anything from offensive caster to tank to fragile speedster, or anything in between. If you can't come up with anything, feel free to talk to the mods and we'll help you hash something out.

The following steps are general guidelines; if you want to do something different, please contact the mods and we can discuss it.

For your initial Persona, choose a single elemental strength and weakness from the following: physical (please avoid this as a resistance early on), fire, water, ice, electric, wind, earth, light, dark. These will guide your skill set as well.

Then choose four appropriate starting-level skills. A complete list would be impossible here, but this will help as a guide: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Lists_of_Spells_and_Skills If you're having trouble deciding or not certain if a skill is appropriate for the current level, just ask!

Combat
On the roleplaying end, combat will bear more resemblance to the Persona 4 anime than to either of the games: once Evoked, the Persona acts directly through the user's will, rather than simply being a vessel through which skills are used. Any damage or conditions (poison, paralysis, etc.) taken by the Persona will be felt by the user, and it will flicker and fade once the user becomes unable to maintain it.

On the OOC end, almost everything is roleplayed, with a 10-sided die helping to determine the outcome of any actions taken, taking into account individual specializations, skills, and affinities.
