A breathtaking sight. Imitations they may be, but together, they make a fine spectacle. Though the flowers of evil blossom, be it known... Abominations are fated to perish!
Ren: That's enough! Ryuji: Now that I got this power, it's time for payback! Ann: You stole everything from Shiho. You destroyed her, now it's your turn! I will rob you of everything! Yusuke: How many dreams did you exchange for riches? No matter what it takes, I will bring you to justice! Makoto: I will not lose heart again, ever. I'll go full speed, nonstop! Futaba: There's no way you're my mom! You're just a fake created by those horrid adults! I'll... I'll never... I'll never forgive them! Haru: Farewell dear father. I am no longer your subservient puppet! Sumire: The weak, insecure Sumire... dies today! Zenkichi: I know what I have to do now. Condem the evil, and hunt them down!

@@isapu1948 yeah so back in like the 1980s an australian PM went to mcdonalds and shat himself, real event tho not the weirdest thing to happen to an australian Prime Minister, and its my persona because i've shit my pants before when i was a kid.
When feeling stressed and anxious, don't you feel like turning it into a physical force and energy? Like getting so tense and nervous that you can run at obscene speed, punch and kick holes in walls and trees, or scream so loud it can be heard for miles? I myself feel like that sometimes.
Do you yearn for the hunt so badly? Do you believe your will to be strong? Time itself is said to be a predator that stalks its victims for eternity. If you believe that you can master it, then let us forge a contract. I am thou, thou art I... May your enemies become your prey! COME, MIZAR!!!
so came here after the P5X announcement. I wonder how the Awakenings are gonna work for all the gacha units? its obvs the story ones will probly have a simlar awakening like in P5
“Do you finally understand?” “You stood idly by while the corrupt prospered. You allowed yourself to fall in line with the mentally-numbed society, just as I once did.” *That ends now.* “Now, we will break free of these mental chains and reveal the truth.” “I am thou, thou art I. Use my power, and UNLEASH THY FURY!” “The flame of truth will burn hotter than the pits of Hades itself!” *rips off mask* “GUY MONTAG!!!” “I am the Refugee of Flames, Guy Montag! Don’t let your cowardice take over again.” “I know what I have to do. Clarisse…I WILL BRING YOUR VENGEANCE TO FRUITION!” *Mask: Sunglasses* *Codename: Phoenix* *Outfit: Vintage black trench coat, white dress shirt, black tie, black dress pants, black dress shoes* Persona description: “The protagonist of Ray Bradbury’s 1953 novel, ‘Fahrenheit 451’, he worked as a firefighter who burned down buildings with books in them. One day, he finally learns the truth and escapes the corrupt society he once allied with. After a nuclear war, he, and a group of book lovers re enter society to teach the people the truth.”
You’re given the power to kill the scum of society AND destroy the life of your bastard father. What do you say? That’s right, nothing, you’re too busy laughing.
"Are you finally done being a lost, little girl in a strange, far-off land? Scared, indecisive and pathetic. The side of you who wants to be smarter than your enemies. The side that wants to protect others with kindness. The side longs to be a hero to those you love. It's time to stop holding back, and show everyone what happens when you use brains, heart and courage together! If you do not, then your true strength will continue to melt away until there is nothing left of you! I am thou, thou art I! The storm raging in your soul has called me to your side! Now, unleash it upon your foes, and show them what happens when they incur the wrath of a witch! Tell me, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" “Heh. You're right... Let's seal our contract! It's time to fly high, Dorothy!” Codename: Ruby Persona: Dorothy, the Blessed Witch of Winds
Goodness, hearing made think instinctively grin like mad, imagining the surge of power and looking at my enemies with a knowing confident look that are also admittingly predatory.
Arsene: Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself! Ren: That's enough! Captain Kidd: The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth! Ryuji: Now that I got this power, it's time for payback! Yo, I'm ready... bring it! Carmen: Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself. Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength. Ann: You stole everything from Shiho. You destroyed her... now it's your turn! I will rob you of everything! Goemon: The world is filled with both beauty and vice... It is time you teach people which is which! Yusuke: The children who adored you as "father"... the prospects of your pupils... how many did you trample upon...? How many dreams did you exchange for riches?! No matter what it takes... I will bring you to justice! Johanna: You have finally found your own justice... Please... Never lose sight of it again... This memorable day marks your graduation from your false self... (Yusuke: A Persona?) (Ryuji: No, dude... That's a bike.) Makoto: I can feel it... myself... me... GUN IT! [...] I will not lose heart again, ever. I will go full speed, non-stop! Right, Johanna!? Necronomicon: The forbidden wisdom has been revealed. No mysteries... No illusions shall deceive you any longer. (Makoto: Futaba?) Futaba: I'm OK! (Morgana: Look at that...!) Futaba: Please, help me! That's gotta go! Cendrillon: Accept this contract... the spell cast upon you. Kasumi: I request we have a rematch. This time... I'm going all in with Cendrillon! Milady: Let us adorn your departure into freedom with a beautiful betrayal. Haru: Farewell, dear father... I am no longer your subservient puppet! Sae: Cheating? Unfair? SILENCE! THIS IS MY WORLD! Akechi: Here... I'll show you who I really am! Come, LOKI! (Yusuke: Again! It's that Persona!) (Haru: What's going on?) Akechi: Don't make me laugh! Justice? Righteous? Keep that shit to yourselves! You and your teammates PISS ME OFF! (Morgana: He can use two separate powers? Then everything... even his appearance was a fake!) Akechi: You're going down... I'll destroy you...! Go down with me! (Ann: No way!) (Ryuji: That bastard... he made himself go psychotic!) Akechi: Now, let's see you drop dead one at a time, in front of your precious friends! DIIIIIIIE! Cendrillon: Are you prepared for your debut? The ball awaits. Sumire: The weak, insecure Sumire... dies today!
Joker: I am the pillager of twilight, Arsene! Morgana: Come,Zorro! Ruyji: Blast him away, Captain Kidd! Ann: Let's go, Carmen! Yusuke: Come, Goemon! Makoto: GUN IT! Futaba: That thing's gotta go! Haru: Farewell dear father. I am no longer you subservient puppet! Akechi: Take them down, Robin Hood! Real Akechi: COME, LOKI! Sumire: Let's do this, Cendrillon!
This comment section should be filled woth fan crossover dialogue. Or am I the only one who wants to write Ash Ketchum unlocking his Persona: Picard. Which is a electric tale of Pikachu reference
???: Oh, how long have I waited for this moment. Drake: Huh? Grk! *Drake’s green eyes turned a golden hue as he grabbed his head at the surge of unspeakable pain and fell to his knees hollering bloody murder, but no matter how loud he yells, it didn’t flush out the monstrous sounding voice as it continued* ???:For the longest time, you have denied it, you’ve tried to convince yourself it’s all in your head, but you know all too well that it’s real. There’s a monster chained within, crying and yearning. And do you know what it’s yearning for? *despite the pain, Drake manages to muster the strength to answer the question* Drake: The monster…yearns to be a hero…the monster yearns to be…accepted. ???: And how do you know that? Drake: Because…the monster…IS ME!!! *as he said this, he whipped up his head, revealing the upper half of a red oni mask with black tears running from its eyeholes. The voice went on as Drake tries to pull the mask off his face* ???: that’s right. I am thou, thou art I. With this contract of rebellion, you have gained new power. Wield it like an iron weapon and show the heartless mortals that the black tears of pain will not be denied! *Drake rips off the mask with a roar as blue flames engulfed him. His friends, Stephen and Colin watch in awe as the fire subsides revealing that Drake’s attire changed into bloody red combat boots, just as red leather gloves, black jeans, a black haori fastened by the waist with a bloody red belt and a shirt with the same crimson hue* Stephen: Whoa Colin: well, that’s something. *Towering behind Drake was a muscular red oni with long black unruly hair tied into a ponytail wearing black and gold Japanese battle armor. The oni had black tears running from its piercing golden eyes which appeared to be filled with both anger and pain* Shadow Alice: well, don’t just stand there! Get him! *The shadows rush towards the teen boy, but the giant oni persona let out a roar that frozed them in fear and Drake drawed the kanabo from his belt and ruthlessly bashed them down. He then turn to the shadow of Alice Hiragi with a hateful gaze* Drake: You think it’s fun watching people cry as you tear their family and friendships apart? Making them suffer while you sit pretty on your throne, being worshipped by the men you forced into becoming your devoted followers? Well, enjoy it while you can, cause your days of being the queen of broken hearts is now numbered. Let’s make her suffer the pain of her victims, Naita Akaoni!
"So... Finally got a clue, have we?" *THUMP, thump...* Nhh... Wh-What the...!? "They call you insane for dreaming of a better world... Foolish for desiring a world of joy, of fellowship and equality... Yet who is TRULY foolish? Those who continue to wallow in this... So-called 'inevitability', never questioning why their misery must be so? Or those who take a stand against such pitiful circumstances, and laugh in the face of despair!?" But... I'm not- NGH...!! "You're not strong enough? Is that how it TRULY is? Or just another excuse to add to the mountainous pile others have contributed to!? No. You're not like that, are you? The 'other you' that dwells within is saying- nay, SCREAMING as such! So why not listen? Why not let that voice ring out!?" Urgh... Y-You're right... I'm NOT like that...! "That's more like it... It seems we can finally proceed with our contract, at long last. I am Thou... Thou art I...! The time has finally come for YOU to decide your own story- be it Comedy or Tragedy... You, and you alone shall pen the script of your existence!" *starts ripping off a masquerade ball mask with golden feathers on it, crying in agony* RraaaaaaAAAAAAHHHH!!! Haah... Haaah... "Now then... Shall we...?" Ohohoho... Oh, we shall... *PERSONA!!* ---------- Heh... Heheheheh... HehehehahahahAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!! Oh... Now THIS... THIS feels more like it! I finally feel free... Like Atlas, casting off the weight of the world! But savoring this feeling will have to wait... 'CAUSE I'VE GOT SOME TRASH TO TAKE OUT!! *blows away a bunch of shadows with earth magic* ...Laugh at me all you want. Laugh 'till it hurts... 'cause in the end... I'll be the one laughing last. Isn't that right, Puck!?
@@silverthedruid4754 Actually, no. If it's referencing anything, it's Persona 5's awakening scenes. That, and Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"- the story Puck Goodfellow comes from.
@@battlemageazulio1019 oh, sorry. One of the main characters in Berserk is called Puck, and Berserk has themes of fighting against an inescapable fate, which you mentioned, so I thought you were making a berserk refrence.

A little late to the party but, let's get it done. If Mega Man were a Persona wielder: Joker: Are you just going to let him get away with this? Fox: He stole your father's hard work & intends to use it for evil. Rock: Never... Wily, you've gone too far for your selfish ego! ??: So, you have chosen to tread the path of war. *Ba-bum* A sharp pain shot through the boy's head, as though a knife were being driven into his skull. The pain became so hard to bear, the poor kid started screaming, his normal blue eyes turned yellow. ??: You, who were created in your father's image, want to see his dream of everlasting peace between man & machine come true. Are you willing to violate the laws he told you to follow to achieve that goal? One bite of that apple & you may never see paradise again. So warns the other being within you. Rock: I am. ??: In that case, our contract is born. I am thou, thou art I. Your strong sense of justice has awakened me. A black visor covered the boy's face. Rock tried in desperation to get it off, but the mask seemed like it was fused to him. ??: Come, the time to be a hero is now! Let us destroy our opponents and add their weapons to our arsenal! Rock: To battle, ADAM! Rock tore the visor free from his face. Though he bled, his adrenaline kept him upright as blue flames surrounded him, though they didn't burn. When they dissipated, he was clad in what seemed like a Superhero costume, only it was 2 shades of blue & lacked any form of cape. He also bore a pair of gauntlets on his arms & a blue helmet upon his head. Behind him was a humanoid figure, almost robotic in appearance, wearing blue armor & bearing a weapon similar to the blaster that replaced the boy's right hand. Skull: No way, the kid's got a giant robot?! Fox: I believe it must be his Persona. Queen: If that thing is his Persona, then the costume must be his Phantom Thief attire! Rock pointed his new weapon at the shadow of Dr. Wily. Rock: Albert Wily, you dragged my father's good name through the mud, stealing his inventions & turning them into weapons for your jealous desires. Well, I'm not going to let you go free. I'll take everything you desire from you! Shadow Wily gained an angry look on his face when the boy said that. Shadow Wily: Why, you little punk... (Turns to Shadows) You pieces of scrap, destroy them! Joker: Hope you're ready kid. Rock: Of course I am. The Shadows surrounded the Phantom Thieves as Rock cocked his gun. Left & right, shadows fell as quickly as they came. Whichever ones Rock couldn't defeat with his blaster were cut down with a laser sword. And what shadows were too strong for him to take down either way were all dispatched by Adam, who used all elemental magic. After the battle Rock soon noticed the outfit he was wearing. Rock: Hey, what's up with this getup? Morgana: That would be your Phantom Thief attire, kid. Rock: Phantom Thief? Listen, I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I don't want to be a criminal. Noir: You're no criminal, Rock. This is what we're called when we enter someone else's Lair. Rock: What Lair? All I see is a twisted vision of a world created by Wily's mind. Morgana: That's basically what a Lair is. In the past, we called them Palaces and Jails. Skull: Anyway, now that you have a Persona, you need a codename. Rock: Oh, I get it, when you're all dressed up like that, you call yourselves something different. Well then, I guess you can call me Mega Man.
@@weedleisopcute3626 I couldn't think of anything else at the time. Besides, Palaces are generated by the Meta-Nav & Emma's the one responsible for the Jails.
My persona: "They call you a brute, a savage. Tell me, is that truly you?" " It's what everyone says I am, so why wouldn't it be true." " They say it's true because they don't know what you went through to get to that point. So, I'll ask once more, are you really what they say say you are?" " NO, I don't care what they call me!!!" " Yeah, that's more like it! With my help, no-one can stop you from eating, looting, and fighting to your heart's content. I am Thou, Thou art I, If you've got the guts to be a tyrant, then take their kingdoms, AND RIP "EM LIMB FROM LIMB!" "DEVOUR THEM, GREASUS!"
Before I put this, let me tell you the backstory for the dialogue: I had a commission picture done a few months after the release of Persona 5 Strikers and decided to add this to explain a little of the tale behind its creation. Just who is featured? Oh...you'll see... _So, you have finally decided to make your stand_ The voice in Penny's head echoed in her thoughts as a sharp pain suddenly pierced her mind. The young girl clutched the sides of her head on instinct almost immediately and tightly shut her eyes. "What--what is happening to me?" Penny growled, doubling over in pain. There was...something talking to her. It was vaguely known to Penny a part of her she had been familiar with but she had no idea just how it was that she knew. It was all she could do to keep her focus as a few feet away from her stood the shadow version of her uncle's nemesis, Dr. Claw. A large, metallic helmet, crafted to resemble a demonic feline (which Morgana found offensive--and he would remind you at this point that he was not a cat) covered his face, only showing the lights of his eyes. Dressed in a black suit and cape, holding a large garish looking scepter, and wearing spiked metal gauntlets, he looked every bit the part of a typical cartoon dictator with an overblown ego to match. But she could not focus on that, not on the shadow's boast about his knowledge of Penny's skills, or even his promise to kill her uncle before her eyes. She only could focus on the pain spreading in her head. _You've done more than enough to protect your uncle from this monster. You have burdened yourself with a responsibility no child should ever have to bear on their shoulders to save the only family you have_ "Penny, are you ok?" Panther asked in concern as the other Phantom Thieves looked on, but Joker raised his hand, letting her know not to interfere. They had all seen it before, then have all been through it themselves. He knew what Penny had to endure. She needed to see it through. "Ah, the stress of looking after that bumbling buffoon of an officer had finally gotten to you!" Shadow Claw jeered (Futaba winced, the mere fact that he had to be referred to as that annoyed her for various reasons) "It doesn't matter, because I will be rid of him before long, but not before I let him know that all his work is a lie. Everything he ever done to stop me was nothing more than either sheer luck or your constant meddling, and the truth will break him worse than I will break you--" "JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Penny roared at the top of her lungs as she punched the ground hard, shattering the gravel beneath her. Blood slowly dripped from her knuckles as she raised her right fist. "You will not lay a finger on Uncle Gadget. Because if you do, I WILL BURY YOU!!" The voice spoke to her again in the depths of her mind now, but it was much louder, more confident. _It is time! You have been helping your uncle from the shadows for long enough. You have the power to unleash your justice upon those who are poised to do harm unto you. And you are not alone in this anymore. You have allies with the same power as us. It would do you well to join them_ Penny's breathing became harder and as she finally opened her eyes, the sign of what was about to happen became clear: her pupils were not blue now but a brilliant yellow, an enraged grimace etched across her usually cheerful face. "Let's do it...seal the contract!" she whispered. _Wise choice_ A blur of blue light briefly flashed across her face and she now bore a cloth mask around her eyes, black in color, resembling that of the type a certain group of terrapin heroes wore into battle. *_I am thou...thou art I...wield my power and you will no longer be bound up by your fear. Just say my name and it will be done_* "I do not know what is happening but I will put a stop to it!" Shadow Claw bellowed as her raised his scepter. Several dozen Shadows emerged from thin air and began to make their way towards the group. But it was too late. Penny grasped the mask on her face with one hand. She pulled---the damn thing was tightly bound to her and the pain was almost unbearable. But she would endure it. With a last burst of strength, she ripped it from her body, blood spilling out on the ground before her. Penny’s screams of agony were brief though as through the ordeal, at the top of her lungs, she cried out the name of the inner rebel she had now recalled. "UMEMURA!!!!! A violent burst of blue light and flame erupted as the awakening finally occurred, the shockwave sending the oncoming shadows back. A few seconds later the dust finally settled, and the other Phantom Thieves looked on upon their new partner, Oracle happily saying "Now that is an entrance." Penny stood before them now, dressed in her own Phantom Thief attire. She had on an outfit that was the typical gear of a female kunoichi, with a pair of gauntlets that matched the dark cloth of her gi. A mask covered her mouth and in her hands was a pair of short kodachi blades. Behind her hovered her Persona, Umeura. It looked ethereal in appearance, if one could have a simple description. For a bit more context, Umeura resembled a woman wearing a short kimono, her legs visible up to the knees. It too held a pair of kodachi blades but over where her face would be there was a noh mask resembling a young woman. "Holy freaking CRAP! Penny's a Persona wielder?" Skull asked, bewildered. "It would appear so. And at the right moment too" Fox observed. "Penny, are you ok?" Queen asked. As a pair of shadows leaped to attack, Penny just as quickly reacted; she slashed with precision and the two fell down in pieces before her. "I'm fine!" Penny replied eagerly, "but we can discuss what the hell's going on later! Right now I just wanna kick this guy's ass!" "No argument there." Joker agreed.

something about weak to gun makes me think that no matter how good, once your turn ends you're on the floor, but then I remember that it's because the phantom thieves all have a way to deal gun damage without hp or items, instead of the enemies who only have phys guaranteed *cough cough* Decarabia *cough*
@@WindWerehog have faith in me (jk) Shadows and bosses can only use gun abilities, no actual firearms, it's still a pretty hefty weakness so there's physical resistance to make up for it. I never really struggled with pain so...
@@mafiapenguin767 yeah, kinda what I meant there physical res is very good, since every single enemy has a way to deal phys, and at rank 10 it should become physical nul, which obviously is pretty good considering what i just said my original thought was that a weakness to gun is pretty bad, until you remember that only the phantom thieves have gun at all times, while the enemies are specifics with gun skills, which makes a gun weakness on a phantom thief about as bad as any other weakness (except Phys), since, while a fire, ice and electric raise the chances of ailments, wind, nuke and psy target those ailments and bless/curse have higher chances of insta-kills on those weak to them (I think), most good gun skills have crit chances raised, so yeah, normal weakness and an omnipresent resistance, which, if following Persona 5 gameplay, turns into a Null Phys at rank 10 tho, you might want to have good support, healing or almighty skills, since having none would leave your sp to collect dust.
@@WindWerehog I was thinking a mix of wind and Almighty with physicals, 2nd awakening obviously evade gun, and 3rd awakening move would be decisive strike. a Almighty physical move that targets one foe and does severe damage

Joker:Let's see what the legendary nuke-nin is all about. "Itachi-san... Let's destroy them." Codename: Raven Outfit: Black trenchcoat with red clouds, Ninja headband with the phantom thieves logo, black gloves and ANBU style shoes. Specialty: Fire/Mental ailments. Like Carmen, Itachi is a Fire user. But unlike her, he's leaning more into ailments, namely despair. Like his signature moves: Tsukuyomi. He traps all enemies into an horrible Genjutsu that gives 100% chance of inflicting Despair. Next, He has Amaterasu: Which deals Massive Fire damage to all enemies, which ignores resistances. He also has some physical attacks, which can make him into a decent mixed attacker. He gives Raven the ability to use Shadow Clone Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, Body Flicker, and of course, his Sharingan. Persona Trivia: Itachi Uchiha. A lone ninja who killed his entire clan and joined a corrupt organization to protect his younger brother and protect his village from the shadows.
_Why do you hold back?_ _Why would not destroy those who wish you and those close to you harm? Why do you put down the power you hold when you know who to use it against?_ _Is it because of your past? That you know that there is nothing you can do to change it, to fix the mistake you made that day? Or are you simply a coward, an elephant who is afraid of a mouse for no reason, and would turn tail?_ "Hehe, I know I'm a coward.....that I am not doing anything despite being perfectly capable of doing anything.......but that is only because I don't want to use my powers....I want to use yours." _Oh.....and what makes you think that my powers are yours to command? Tell me, what divine reason do you think that you're worthy of wielding my strength? What make you think that you can use my blade to slay your enemies?_ "It's because you are me.....and I am you.....we're are two sides of the same coin, reflections of each other.........You know me better than anyone....you know what I promised myself......but I also know that this world needs saving....so instead of using the powers I've sealed away, I'll simply use yours." _Then use it! Take my power, you know how to do so._ _A mask soon forms over my face, one that resembles the face guard that knights of old would wear when they charge into battle, with slits going down the mask to show my eyes and parts of my face._ *I am thou...thou art I...take my power, and use it against those who would do evil with no remorse. Say my name, and strike fear into their hearts!* _Hearing that, I lift both my hands to grab the mask, but not to pull it off.....but to crush it...eventually, my palms start bleeding as the metal cuts into my flesh. But it wasn't for nothing as the mask starts to crumble, before suddenly breaking into pieces, as I shout._ "DRACULA!" A wave of energy emerges from me, pushing back the shadows that have been surrounding me. And soon, my rebellion is revealed...as I wear a suit of armor with noble-looking clothes over it, along with a cap. But instead of a uniform style, I am a strange combination of what a person would consider an ideal prince and a dark knight who's gone through a battle that has left his armor and clothing damaged, with a few 'arrows' sticking out. And behind me, a being stands tall, with a sword that is too big to be wielded by normal humans in his left hand, while his right remains free to grab the stakes that adore his chest. The gaps in between the stakes do reveal that the being was also wearing a suit of armor, though it was hard to tell what kind it was...and the rest of his body was covered in a cloak, that was the color of blood....and the being's head is shrouded in a strange darkness, for all that could be seen was it's long and wild hair, a set of teeth with two supernaturally longer than normal.....and a pair of red eyes, that seems to stare into one soul. Breathing heavily, I looked at the shadow version of a bastard who've seems to be the first step on my journey. With a wicked smile, I said, "So.....this is how my story will begin......I better make sure to start things off properly, starting with making you bleed!" *Codename: Knight* *Melee Weapon: A longsword that I wield in my left hand* *Range Weapon: A modern revolver I wield in my right hand, modified to fire 9 shots. Each bullet can only hit one target, and the barrel can be aimed. Though there is a higher crit chance with the bullets* Persona: Dracula Elements: Darkness and Drain skill Weakness: Light Persona description: Introduce as the evil being that drives the story in Bram Stroker's book, Dracula is remembered as the first vampire, and the most powerful one. While his description has shifted/changed over time, and so have his powers, few would say that he wasn't a fearsome being, one that is worthy to make people fear what goes bump in the night. Evolution: Grettir Appearance: What seems like the husk of a great and powerful man, this persona is covered in armor that looks to be of Nordic origins, and it wields two weapons, a sword in his right hand, and an ax in his left, though he does have a spear on his back, hanging over the fur cloak that hides his body. And his face is hidden once again by an unnatural darkness, saved for a pair of blue eyes that simply stares. Persona description: Introduced in his own Saga, Grettir was a young man who acquired fame and glory by slaying powerful and dangerous monsters. However, his life takes a turn when he was cursed by Glam to never become stronger, becomes hated for his actions, cursed to die alone, and be haunted by his eyes until he dies. From there, Grettir's life starts to fall apart as he kills those who he shouldn't have, lost all his fame and glory, and was exiled. He died alone, succumbing to a wound that was afflicted by his own blade, while bounty hunters storm the island he was on to take his head. Third Stage: Vlad the Impaler Appearance: The red cape returns again, but this time it is branded with a symbol that heavily features a dragon in it. The armor is finally revealed to be a camouflage armor with pieces of metal protecting the vital areas, with the stakes disappearing entirely, for rounds of bullets with sharp points, which cover the chest and legs. The sword remains, though its form has changed, and several red lines run down it, resembling blood. And in the right hand was a gun, designed to somewhat look like a dragon. And the face is now fully revealed, though looking something like a humanoid dragon, and has bright green eyes, that see through all lies. Persona description: Inspiration for Bram Stroker Dracula, Vlad the Impaler fought against the Ottomans in order to defend his nation. And in order to do so, he did truly terrible things in order to strive fear into his enemies, and their fears lead them to tell even more terrible tales of the man. The only ones that remember him as a hero, was the very country that he gave his life to defend. And while history doesn't remember how he died, it is certain that he was worthy to be called a son of a dragon, for he displayed cruelty, might, and bloodlust only fitting for a child of one.
I've failed.....the being responsible for bringing the world to an end previously has returned.....and I've failed in stopping it. As I lay here, I look back on my life, and wonder.....what was it all for? When I was young, I tried to figure out the rest of my life and followed that plan...when the world ended, I tried to survive in a world that ended when I was full of hatred towards myself. When I was in the tower, I tried to become the major character in someone else story. And once his story ended, I tried to start a new normal life, only to be tasked with stopping the return of the Calamity......and I've failed. Perhaps......it was always destiny for me to fail to save the world....to prevent this being from doing what he wants.....perhaps I should just lay still, and disappear..... _Fool._ A familiar headache appears in my head again, though it is stronger than I've ever felt it. _You say that it is destiny for you to fail, but you've managed to overcome destiny once before, why not again?_ _You won against destiny when you managed to escape that being's grasp, you've tricked destiny by playing a dangerous gamble, and you overcame destiny when you fought against the master of the tower._ _If you've managed to win against her, then why do you say that you can't win against this being? Do you intend to simply give up this time? To let this self-claimed savior repeat the same tragedy that you went through? Do you intend to watch the world be destroyed once again, as those who are hollowed kill their loved ones?_ As I hold my head, I let out a weak, "No.....", as the headache threatens to split my head open. _Then why do you lie there in your pity, when you should be standing tall? Why do you drink your sorrow when you should be fighting for a better future? Why would let evil walk all over you when you should be rebelling against them?_ Hearing these words, I get off my back and start to stand up, as my headache becomes stronger. But that doesn't matter, because those were simply my lies trying to pull me back, trying to convince me to give up....to tell me that this fate can't be changed......but I've cheated my own death.....so why can't I cheat everyone's death? As soon as that thought entered my mind, a new mask formed on my face. Though this time, it was a masquerade mask, with white and black on opposing sides, with a red rose on the black, and a blue rose on the white. As I reach up to grab the mask, the voice continues *I am thou, thou art I. Tear off the mask that provides you with false comforts, and raise your blade to fight against the fate that evil forces upon you. Cut down all who would stand against your rebellion, your revolution, to make the world better!* With that, I grabbed the mask, and although almost unimaginable pain went through my entire body as I start to pull it off, as I scream as if I'm being tortured, I managed to shout out a name. "Spartacus!" As I shouted, flames consume me once again, and soon I stepped out of the jail I was in, now looking like a prince, as a cape covers my right arm. And behind me was a being that looks human for the most part, and wields a short sword and a dagger. However, his head is devoid of any features, and several masks float around him, ready to become its face at any moment. With that, I looked at our leader and said, "Sorry for the wait. We shouldn't keep the other waiting any longer, for we have a self-call savior to rebel against." Persona: Spartacus Elements-physical, support, and healing Weakness-psychic Persona Description: Though his early life remains unknown, the world remembers his stand against the Roman Republic, as he fought against his slavery. Inspired by his charisma and his tactical genius, other slaves quickly flock to him, and together, they fought against Rome's militias and legions and managed to win. However, when Crassus and his small army managed to entrap his rebel force, Spartacus was forced to make his last stand, leading to his defeat and death. However, his story lives on, as a rebel who fought against an unfair fate and won. Evolution/Third Stage(Assume that all third arcana evolution is only available in the third chapter) Persona: Washington Appearance: The persona assumes Washington's famous outfit, though modified to look more modern, and has a cape that is the American flag. The two blades are replaced with a cuttoe sword and a flint-lock pistol. And the masks are replaced with tiny soldiers with rifles, ready to fire at the enemy. Persona Description: Though originally a member of the British Army, Washington left his former life to lead the Continental Army and fought for the American Revolution. And when he won the siege of Yorktown, he wanted to retire to his estate, only to be convinced by his closest friends and the newborn nation to become its first president. And when he finally died, the entire nation mourned his death but remembered for what he fought for; Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
While I wait for suggestions for new characters and their personas, I'm going to work on my persona's unique abilities. Starting with the Fallen Knight, which is clearly going to focus on draining skills/abilities. Starting with the persona's unique trait, it'll be Blood Feast and later evolves into Blood Festival, which has the unique ability of sharing what I've drained with the rest of the party. Meaning that if I drain 30 hp, the entire party gains 30 hp. And the later ability would have the power to make the amount drain be greater then the damage. Ie, deal 15 damage, and heal 30 hp. This honestly has the capacity to be broken, as this may be a reliable way of recovering sp across the board. Of course, the current drain skills are kinda suckish, so the persona is going to have new drain abilities that are more powerful. The first couple would simply drain more hp or sp. But the latter ones would be capable of debuffing opponents, with hp draining defense as well, and sp draining attack. And the third persona unique skill is an high damaging move that debuff all stats of the opponent, while buffing all the user's stats
Now, the honored knight is going to have a different ability/trait, called Shield of Honor, which lowers the likelihood of a successful stat debuff. And the Banner of Glory not only lowers it even further but even has a small chance of reflecting that debuff back on the caster. And this time around, the persona would be focused on strong wind and light skills. And the ultimate skill is a light skill that deals severe light damage to all foes, and has a chance of granting attack up on your allies.
The last and final persona is going to have the unique trait Inspiring Leader, which means that when this character is given a stat buff or healed, there is a chance that the stat buff affects the entire party. This of course that all its buff skills are going to be a single target/focus on itself. The evolved trait Leader of a New World(feel free to suggest something shorter), would greatly increase this chance of happening, and may also make the stats last longer. And the ultimate skill is that for one turn, the entire party is immune to all but almighty damage.
Speaking of people, anyway wanna suggest their own characters. Already shared my ideas on what the four other characters(excluding the fool) would be. The magician-star-judgment, the lover-priestess-empress, the chariot-strength-sun, and the hermit-fortune-moon(which will be the navi). You don't have to do the full 5 yards, but I do want to have the first arcane covered, have a character to work with, and have an idea of what their persona theme is. Or just make an npc friend with these arcana(Hierophant, Devil, Tower, Hanged Man, and Temperance), and tell me what they provide. In my personal opinion for the velvet room attendant, Temperance or Tower seems like the best arcana for them. Since either, they'll see themselves in a very high light(due to being an overseer of power), or know enough in life to be content with most things. (just reposting this to keep track of things

It's just not the same without intense emotional stress comingnto a bubble
When feeling stressed and anxious, don't you feel like turning it into a physical force and energy? Like getting so tense and nervous that you can run at obscene speed, punch and kick holes in walls and trees, or scream so loud it can be heard for miles? I myself feel like that sometimes.

And here my mind went to Star Trek.

???: Oh, how long have I waited for this moment.
Drake: Huh? Grk!
*Drake’s green eyes turned a golden hue as he grabbed his head at the surge of unspeakable pain and fell to his knees hollering bloody murder, but no matter how loud he yells, it didn’t flush out the monstrous sounding voice as it continued*
???:For the longest time, you have denied it, you’ve tried to convince yourself it’s all in your head, but you know all too well that it’s real. There’s a monster chained within, crying and yearning. And do you know what it’s yearning for?
*despite the pain, Drake manages to muster the strength to answer the question*
Drake: The monster…yearns to be a hero…the monster yearns to be…accepted.
???: And how do you know that?
Drake: Because…the monster…IS ME!!!
*as he said this, he whipped up his head, revealing the upper half of a red oni mask with black tears running from its eyeholes. The voice went on as Drake tries to pull the mask off his face*
???: that’s right. I am thou, thou art I. With this contract of rebellion, you have gained new power. Wield it like an iron weapon and show the heartless mortals that the black tears of pain will not be denied!
*Drake rips off the mask with a roar as blue flames engulfed him. His friends, Stephen and Colin watch in awe as the fire subsides revealing that Drake’s attire changed into bloody red combat boots, just as red leather gloves, black jeans, a black haori fastened by the waist with a bloody red belt and a shirt with the same crimson hue*
Stephen: Whoa
Colin: well, that’s something.
*Towering behind Drake was a muscular red oni with long black unruly hair tied into a ponytail wearing black and gold Japanese battle armor. The oni had black tears running from its piercing golden eyes which appeared to be filled with both anger and pain*
Shadow Alice: well, don’t just stand there! Get him!
*The shadows rush towards the teen boy, but the giant oni persona let out a roar that frozed them in fear and Drake drawed the kanabo from his belt and ruthlessly bashed them down. He then turn to the shadow of Alice Hiragi with a hateful gaze*
Drake: You think it’s fun watching people cry as you tear their family and friendships apart? Making them suffer while you sit pretty on your throne, being worshipped by the men you forced into becoming your devoted followers? Well, enjoy it while you can, cause your days of being the queen of broken hearts is now numbered. Let’s make her suffer the pain of her victims, Naita Akaoni!

But... I'm not- NGH...!!

@@silverthedruid4754 Actually, no. If it's referencing anything, it's Persona 5's awakening scenes. That, and Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"- the story Puck Goodfellow comes from.
@@battlemageazulio1019 oh, sorry. One of the main characters in Berserk is called Puck, and Berserk has themes of fighting against an inescapable fate, which you mentioned, so I thought you were making a berserk refrence.

A little late to the party but, let's get it done. If Mega Man were a Persona wielder:
Joker: Are you just going to let him get away with this?
Fox: He stole your father's hard work & intends to use it for evil.
Rock: Never... Wily, you've gone too far for your selfish ego!
??: So, you have chosen to tread the path of war.
*Ba-bum*
A sharp pain shot through the boy's head, as though a knife were being driven into his skull. The pain became so hard to bear, the poor kid started screaming, his normal blue eyes turned yellow.
??: You, who were created in your father's image, want to see his dream of everlasting peace between man & machine come true. Are you willing to violate the laws he told you to follow to achieve that goal? One bite of that apple & you may never see paradise again. So warns the other being within you.
Rock: I am.
??: In that case, our contract is born. I am thou, thou art I. Your strong sense of justice has awakened me.
A black visor covered the boy's face. Rock tried in desperation to get it off, but the mask seemed like it was fused to him.
??: Come, the time to be a hero is now! Let us destroy our opponents and add their weapons to our arsenal!
Rock: To battle, ADAM!
Rock tore the visor free from his face. Though he bled, his adrenaline kept him upright as blue flames surrounded him, though they didn't burn. When they dissipated, he was clad in what seemed like a Superhero costume, only it was 2 shades of blue & lacked any form of cape. He also bore a pair of gauntlets on his arms & a blue helmet upon his head. Behind him was a humanoid figure, almost robotic in appearance, wearing blue armor & bearing a weapon similar to the blaster that replaced the boy's right hand.
Skull: No way, the kid's got a giant robot?!
Fox: I believe it must be his Persona.
Queen: If that thing is his Persona, then the costume must be his Phantom Thief attire!
Rock pointed his new weapon at the shadow of Dr. Wily.
Rock: Albert Wily, you dragged my father's good name through the mud, stealing his inventions & turning them into weapons for your jealous desires. Well, I'm not going to let you go free. I'll take everything you desire from you!
Shadow Wily gained an angry look on his face when the boy said that.
Shadow Wily: Why, you little punk... (Turns to Shadows) You pieces of scrap, destroy them!
Joker: Hope you're ready kid.
Rock: Of course I am.
The Shadows surrounded the Phantom Thieves as Rock cocked his gun. Left & right, shadows fell as quickly as they came. Whichever ones Rock couldn't defeat with his blaster were cut down with a laser sword. And what shadows were too strong for him to take down either way were all dispatched by Adam, who used all elemental magic.
After the battle Rock soon noticed the outfit he was wearing.
Rock: Hey, what's up with this getup?
Morgana: That would be your Phantom Thief attire, kid.
Rock: Phantom Thief? Listen, I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I don't want to be a criminal.
Noir: You're no criminal, Rock. This is what we're called when we enter someone else's Lair.
Rock: What Lair? All I see is a twisted vision of a world created by Wily's mind.
Morgana: That's basically what a Lair is. In the past, we called them Palaces and Jails.
Skull: Anyway, now that you have a Persona, you need a codename.
Rock: Oh, I get it, when you're all dressed up like that, you call yourselves something different. Well then, I guess you can call me Mega Man.
Why are they called Lairs now?
@@weedleisopcute3626 I couldn't think of anything else at the time. Besides, Palaces are generated by the Meta-Nav & Emma's the one responsible for the Jails.

" NO, I don't care what they call me!!!"
" Yeah, that's more like it! With my help, no-one can stop you from eating, looting, and fighting to your heart's content. I am Thou, Thou art I, If you've got the guts to be a tyrant, then take their kingdoms, AND RIP "EM LIMB FROM LIMB!"

PERSONA!!!!!!!
PEERRRRRRSSSOONAAAAAAAAA!
Before I put this, let me tell you the backstory for the dialogue: I had a commission picture done a few months after the release of Persona 5 Strikers and decided to add this to explain a little of the tale behind its creation. Just who is featured? Oh...you'll see...
_So, you have finally decided to make your stand_
The voice in Penny's head echoed in her thoughts as a sharp pain suddenly pierced her mind. The young girl clutched the sides of her head on instinct almost immediately and tightly shut her eyes.
"What--what is happening to me?" Penny growled, doubling over in pain.
There was...something talking to her. It was vaguely known to Penny a part of her she had been familiar with but she had no idea just how it was that she knew.
It was all she could do to keep her focus as a few feet away from her stood the shadow version of her uncle's nemesis, Dr. Claw.
A large, metallic helmet, crafted to resemble a demonic feline (which Morgana found offensive--and he would remind you at this point that he was not a cat) covered his face, only showing the lights of his eyes. Dressed in a black suit and cape, holding a large garish looking scepter, and wearing spiked metal gauntlets, he looked every bit the part of a typical cartoon dictator with an overblown ego to match.
But she could not focus on that, not on the shadow's boast about his knowledge of Penny's skills, or even his promise to kill her uncle before her eyes. She only could focus on the pain spreading in her head.
_You've done more than enough to protect your uncle from this monster. You have burdened yourself with a responsibility no child should ever have to bear on their shoulders to save the only family you have_
"Penny, are you ok?" Panther asked in concern as the other Phantom Thieves looked on, but Joker raised his hand, letting her know not to interfere. They had all seen it before, then have all been through it themselves. He knew what Penny had to endure. She needed to see it through.
"Ah, the stress of looking after that bumbling buffoon of an officer had finally gotten to you!" Shadow Claw jeered (Futaba winced, the mere fact that he had to be referred to as that annoyed her for various reasons)
"It doesn't matter, because I will be rid of him before long, but not before I let him know that all his work is a lie. Everything he ever done to stop me was nothing more than either sheer luck or your constant meddling, and the truth will break him worse than I will break you--"
"JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!"
Penny roared at the top of her lungs as she punched the ground hard, shattering the gravel beneath her.
Blood slowly dripped from her knuckles as she raised her right fist.
"You will not lay a finger on Uncle Gadget. Because if you do, I WILL BURY YOU!!"
The voice spoke to her again in the depths of her mind now, but it was much louder, more confident.
_It is time! You have been helping your uncle from the shadows for long enough. You have the power to unleash your justice upon those who are poised to do harm unto you. And you are not alone in this anymore. You have allies with the same power as us. It would do you well to join them_
Penny's breathing became harder and as she finally opened her eyes, the sign of what was about to happen became clear: her pupils were not blue now but a brilliant yellow, an enraged grimace etched across her usually cheerful face.
"Let's do it...seal the contract!" she whispered.
_Wise choice_
A blur of blue light briefly flashed across her face and she now bore a cloth mask around her eyes, black in color, resembling that of the type a certain group of terrapin heroes wore into battle.
*_I am thou...thou art I...wield my power and you will no longer be bound up by your fear. Just say my name and it will be done_*
"I do not know what is happening but I will put a stop to it!" Shadow Claw bellowed as her raised his scepter.
Several dozen Shadows emerged from thin air and began to make their way towards the group. But it was too late.
Penny grasped the mask on her face with one hand. She pulled---the damn thing was tightly bound to her and the pain was almost unbearable.
But she would endure it.
With a last burst of strength, she ripped it from her body, blood spilling out on the ground before her. Penny’s screams of agony were brief though as through the ordeal, at the top of her lungs, she cried out the name of the inner rebel she had now recalled.
"UMEMURA!!!!!
A violent burst of blue light and flame erupted as the awakening finally occurred, the shockwave sending the oncoming shadows back. A few seconds later the dust finally settled, and the other Phantom Thieves looked on upon their new partner, Oracle happily saying "Now that is an entrance."
Penny stood before them now, dressed in her own Phantom Thief attire. She had on an outfit that was the typical gear of a female kunoichi, with a pair of gauntlets that matched the dark cloth of her gi. A mask covered her mouth and in her hands was a pair of short kodachi blades. Behind her hovered her Persona, Umeura. It looked ethereal in appearance, if one could have a simple description. For a bit more context, Umeura resembled a woman wearing a short kimono, her legs visible up to the knees. It too held a pair of kodachi blades but over where her face would be there was a noh mask resembling a young woman.
"Holy freaking CRAP! Penny's a Persona wielder?" Skull asked, bewildered.
"It would appear so. And at the right moment too" Fox observed.
"Penny, are you ok?" Queen asked. As a pair of shadows leaped to attack, Penny just as quickly reacted; she slashed with precision and the two fell down in pieces before her.
"I'm fine!" Penny replied eagerly, "but we can discuss what the hell's going on later! Right now I just wanna kick this guy's ass!"
"No argument there." Joker agreed.

Charles de Batz de Castelmore was the real name of D'Artagnan, he was a french musketeer who served Louis XIV as captain of the Musketeer guard
Codename: Captain
Weapon: Cutlass
Gun: Musket
Stg:Physycal
Wk:Gun
Stg:Wind
something about weak to gun makes me think that no matter how good, once your turn ends you're on the floor, but then I remember that it's because the phantom thieves all have a way to deal gun damage without hp or items, instead of the enemies who only have phys guaranteed
*cough cough* Decarabia *cough*
@@WindWerehog have faith in me (jk)
Shadows and bosses can only use gun abilities, no actual firearms, it's still a pretty hefty weakness so there's physical resistance to make up for it. I never really struggled with pain so...
@@mafiapenguin767 yeah, kinda what I meant there
physical res is very good, since every single enemy has a way to deal phys, and at rank 10 it should become physical nul, which obviously is pretty good considering what i just said
my original thought was that a weakness to gun is pretty bad, until you remember that only the phantom thieves have gun at all times, while the enemies are specifics with gun skills, which makes a gun weakness on a phantom thief about as bad as any other weakness (except Phys), since, while a fire, ice and electric raise the chances of ailments, wind, nuke and psy target those ailments and bless/curse have higher chances of insta-kills on those weak to them (I think), most good gun skills have crit chances raised, so yeah, normal weakness and an omnipresent resistance, which, if following Persona 5 gameplay, turns into a Null Phys at rank 10
tho, you might want to have good support, healing or almighty skills, since having none would leave your sp to collect dust.
@@WindWerehog I was thinking a mix of wind and Almighty with physicals, 2nd awakening obviously evade gun, and 3rd awakening move would be decisive strike. a Almighty physical move that targets one foe and does severe damage

"I couldn't protect them because i was scared! But now... Everything will change!!" *A raven mask appears onto my face.*
???:So you're finally out of your illusion. Let's make a contract. I am thou, Thou art i. This cycle of hatred will never end on your own. But If you sacrifice your friends, It will be in vain! It's time to trap your enemies, WITHIN THEIR OWN ILLUSIONS!!
"Alright then..."
"Appear... ITACHI!!"
*Will Power*
*pant* *pant* I then show a very deadly glare to my opponent, seemingly with the Sharingan active, with Itachi behind me.
Ryuji/Skull: For Real?! The name he said for his Persona, is it THAT Guy?!
Morgana/Mona: Incredible... His power is overflowing!
Ann/Panther: But... Is his Persona REALLY Him?!
Yusuke/Fox: It seems so... That black robe with Red Clouds on them... There is no mistaking it! It really is Itachi Uchiha!
"I am NO longer that weak child i once was! That illusion that i put up for myself is finally broken, and now... I have a mission. And that mission... Is to aid the Phantom Thieves to steal your Heart! That is an S-Rank Mission i put up for myself.

"You will kill us all? Is that what you think? Ha! You made one fatal mistake, and it was looking into my eyes. Now you will all burn to the Black Fires of Hell!!
Joker:Let's see what the legendary nuke-nin is all about.
"Itachi-san... Let's destroy them."
Codename: Raven
Outfit: Black trenchcoat with red clouds, Ninja headband with the phantom thieves logo, black gloves and ANBU style shoes.
Specialty: Fire/Mental ailments. Like Carmen, Itachi is a Fire user. But unlike her, he's leaning more into ailments, namely despair. Like his signature moves: Tsukuyomi. He traps all enemies into an horrible Genjutsu that gives 100% chance of inflicting Despair. Next, He has Amaterasu: Which deals Massive Fire damage to all enemies, which ignores resistances. He also has some physical attacks, which can make him into a decent mixed attacker. He gives Raven the ability to use Shadow Clone Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, Body Flicker, and of course, his Sharingan.
Persona Trivia: Itachi Uchiha. A lone ninja who killed his entire clan and joined a corrupt organization to protect his younger brother and protect his village from the shadows.
_Why do you hold back?_
_Why would not destroy those who wish you and those close to you harm? Why do you put down the power you hold when you know who to use it against?_
_Is it because of your past? That you know that there is nothing you can do to change it, to fix the mistake you made that day? Or are you simply a coward, an elephant who is afraid of a mouse for no reason, and would turn tail?_
"Hehe, I know I'm a coward.....that I am not doing anything despite being perfectly capable of doing anything.......but that is only because I don't want to use my powers....I want to use yours."
_Oh.....and what makes you think that my powers are yours to command? Tell me, what divine reason do you think that you're worthy of wielding my strength? What make you think that you can use my blade to slay your enemies?_
"It's because you are me.....and I am you.....we're are two sides of the same coin, reflections of each other.........You know me better than anyone....you know what I promised myself......but I also know that this world needs saving....so instead of using the powers I've sealed away, I'll simply use yours."
_Then use it! Take my power, you know how to do so._
_A mask soon forms over my face, one that resembles the face guard that knights of old would wear when they charge into battle, with slits going down the mask to show my eyes and parts of my face._
*I am thou...thou art I...take my power, and use it against those who would do evil with no remorse. Say my name, and strike fear into their hearts!*
_Hearing that, I lift both my hands to grab the mask, but not to pull it off.....but to crush it...eventually, my palms start bleeding as the metal cuts into my flesh. But it wasn't for nothing as the mask starts to crumble, before suddenly breaking into pieces, as I shout._
"DRACULA!"
A wave of energy emerges from me, pushing back the shadows that have been surrounding me. And soon, my rebellion is revealed...as I wear a suit of armor with noble-looking clothes over it, along with a cap. But instead of a uniform style, I am a strange combination of what a person would consider an ideal prince and a dark knight who's gone through a battle that has left his armor and clothing damaged, with a few 'arrows' sticking out.
And behind me, a being stands tall, with a sword that is too big to be wielded by normal humans in his left hand, while his right remains free to grab the stakes that adore his chest. The gaps in between the stakes do reveal that the being was also wearing a suit of armor, though it was hard to tell what kind it was...and the rest of his body was covered in a cloak, that was the color of blood....and the being's head is shrouded in a strange darkness, for all that could be seen was it's long and wild hair, a set of teeth with two supernaturally longer than normal.....and a pair of red eyes, that seems to stare into one soul.
Breathing heavily, I looked at the shadow version of a bastard who've seems to be the first step on my journey. With a wicked smile, I said, "So.....this is how my story will begin......I better make sure to start things off properly, starting with making you bleed!"
*Codename: Knight*
*Melee Weapon: A longsword that I wield in my left hand*
*Range Weapon: A modern revolver I wield in my right hand, modified to fire 9 shots. Each bullet can only hit one target, and the barrel can be aimed. Though there is a higher crit chance with the bullets*
Persona: Dracula
Elements: Darkness and Drain skill
Weakness: Light
Persona description: Introduce as the evil being that drives the story in Bram Stroker's book, Dracula is remembered as the first vampire, and the most powerful one. While his description has shifted/changed over time, and so have his powers, few would say that he wasn't a fearsome being, one that is worthy to make people fear what goes bump in the night.
Evolution: Grettir
Appearance: What seems like the husk of a great and powerful man, this persona is covered in armor that looks to be of Nordic origins, and it wields two weapons, a sword in his right hand, and an ax in his left, though he does have a spear on his back, hanging over the fur cloak that hides his body. And his face is hidden once again by an unnatural darkness, saved for a pair of blue eyes that simply stares.
Persona description: Introduced in his own Saga, Grettir was a young man who acquired fame and glory by slaying powerful and dangerous monsters. However, his life takes a turn when he was cursed by Glam to never become stronger, becomes hated for his actions, cursed to die alone, and be haunted by his eyes until he dies. From there, Grettir's life starts to fall apart as he kills those who he shouldn't have, lost all his fame and glory, and was exiled. He died alone, succumbing to a wound that was afflicted by his own blade, while bounty hunters storm the island he was on to take his head.
Third Stage: Vlad the Impaler
Appearance: The red cape returns again, but this time it is branded with a symbol that heavily features a dragon in it. The armor is finally revealed to be a camouflage armor with pieces of metal protecting the vital areas, with the stakes disappearing entirely, for rounds of bullets with sharp points, which cover the chest and legs. The sword remains, though its form has changed, and several red lines run down it, resembling blood. And in the right hand was a gun, designed to somewhat look like a dragon. And the face is now fully revealed, though looking something like a humanoid dragon, and has bright green eyes, that see through all lies.
Persona description: Inspiration for Bram Stroker Dracula, Vlad the Impaler fought against the Ottomans in order to defend his nation. And in order to do so, he did truly terrible things in order to strive fear into his enemies, and their fears lead them to tell even more terrible tales of the man. The only ones that remember him as a hero, was the very country that he gave his life to defend. And while history doesn't remember how he died, it is certain that he was worthy to be called a son of a dragon, for he displayed cruelty, might, and bloodlust only fitting for a child of one.
I've failed.....the being responsible for bringing the world to an end previously has returned.....and I've failed in stopping it.
As I lay here, I look back on my life, and wonder.....what was it all for?
When I was young, I tried to figure out the rest of my life and followed that plan...when the world ended, I tried to survive in a world that ended when I was full of hatred towards myself. When I was in the tower, I tried to become the major character in someone else story. And once his story ended, I tried to start a new normal life, only to be tasked with stopping the return of the Calamity......and I've failed. Perhaps......it was always destiny for me to fail to save the world....to prevent this being from doing what he wants.....perhaps I should just lay still, and disappear.....
_Fool._
A familiar headache appears in my head again, though it is stronger than I've ever felt it.
_You say that it is destiny for you to fail, but you've managed to overcome destiny once before, why not again?_
_You won against destiny when you managed to escape that being's grasp, you've tricked destiny by playing a dangerous gamble, and you overcame destiny when you fought against the master of the tower._
_If you've managed to win against her, then why do you say that you can't win against this being? Do you intend to simply give up this time? To let this self-claimed savior repeat the same tragedy that you went through? Do you intend to watch the world be destroyed once again, as those who are hollowed kill their loved ones?_
As I hold my head, I let out a weak, "No.....", as the headache threatens to split my head open.
_Then why do you lie there in your pity, when you should be standing tall? Why do you drink your sorrow when you should be fighting for a better future? Why would let evil walk all over you when you should be rebelling against them?_
Hearing these words, I get off my back and start to stand up, as my headache becomes stronger. But that doesn't matter, because those were simply my lies trying to pull me back, trying to convince me to give up....to tell me that this fate can't be changed......but I've cheated my own death.....so why can't I cheat everyone's death? As soon as that thought entered my mind, a new mask formed on my face. Though this time, it was a masquerade mask, with white and black on opposing sides, with a red rose on the black, and a blue rose on the white. As I reach up to grab the mask, the voice continues
*I am thou, thou art I. Tear off the mask that provides you with false comforts, and raise your blade to fight against the fate that evil forces upon you. Cut down all who would stand against your rebellion, your revolution, to make the world better!*
With that, I grabbed the mask, and although almost unimaginable pain went through my entire body as I start to pull it off, as I scream as if I'm being tortured, I managed to shout out a name.
"Spartacus!"
As I shouted, flames consume me once again, and soon I stepped out of the jail I was in, now looking like a prince, as a cape covers my right arm. And behind me was a being that looks human for the most part, and wields a short sword and a dagger. However, his head is devoid of any features, and several masks float around him, ready to become its face at any moment. With that, I looked at our leader and said, "Sorry for the wait. We shouldn't keep the other waiting any longer, for we have a self-call savior to rebel against."
Persona: Spartacus
Elements-physical, support, and healing
Weakness-psychic
Persona Description: Though his early life remains unknown, the world remembers his stand against the Roman Republic, as he fought against his slavery. Inspired by his charisma and his tactical genius, other slaves quickly flock to him, and together, they fought against Rome's militias and legions and managed to win. However, when Crassus and his small army managed to entrap his rebel force, Spartacus was forced to make his last stand, leading to his defeat and death. However, his story lives on, as a rebel who fought against an unfair fate and won.
Evolution/Third Stage(Assume that all third arcana evolution is only available in the third chapter)
Persona: Washington
Appearance: The persona assumes Washington's famous outfit, though modified to look more modern, and has a cape that is the American flag. The two blades are replaced with a cuttoe sword and a flint-lock pistol. And the masks are replaced with tiny soldiers with rifles, ready to fire at the enemy.
Persona Description: Though originally a member of the British Army, Washington left his former life to lead the Continental Army and fought for the American Revolution. And when he won the siege of Yorktown, he wanted to retire to his estate, only to be convinced by his closest friends and the newborn nation to become its first president. And when he finally died, the entire nation mourned his death but remembered for what he fought for; Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
While I wait for suggestions for new characters and their personas, I'm going to work on my persona's unique abilities. Starting with the Fallen Knight, which is clearly going to focus on draining skills/abilities. Starting with the persona's unique trait, it'll be Blood Feast and later evolves into Blood Festival, which has the unique ability of sharing what I've drained with the rest of the party. Meaning that if I drain 30 hp, the entire party gains 30 hp. And the later ability would have the power to make the amount drain be greater then the damage. Ie, deal 15 damage, and heal 30 hp. This honestly has the capacity to be broken, as this may be a reliable way of recovering sp across the board. Of course, the current drain skills are kinda suckish, so the persona is going to have new drain abilities that are more powerful. The first couple would simply drain more hp or sp. But the latter ones would be capable of debuffing opponents, with hp draining defense as well, and sp draining attack. And the third persona unique skill is an high damaging move that debuff all stats of the opponent, while buffing all the user's stats
Now, the honored knight is going to have a different ability/trait, called Shield of Honor, which lowers the likelihood of a successful stat debuff. And the Banner of Glory not only lowers it even further but even has a small chance of reflecting that debuff back on the caster. And this time around, the persona would be focused on strong wind and light skills. And the ultimate skill is a light skill that deals severe light damage to all foes, and has a chance of granting attack up on your allies.
The last and final persona is going to have the unique trait Inspiring Leader, which means that when this character is given a stat buff or healed, there is a chance that the stat buff affects the entire party. This of course that all its buff skills are going to be a single target/focus on itself. The evolved trait Leader of a New World(feel free to suggest something shorter), would greatly increase this chance of happening, and may also make the stats last longer. And the ultimate skill is that for one turn, the entire party is immune to all but almighty damage.
Speaking of people, anyway wanna suggest their own characters. Already shared my ideas on what the four other characters(excluding the fool) would be. The magician-star-judgment, the lover-priestess-empress, the chariot-strength-sun, and the hermit-fortune-moon(which will be the navi). You don't have to do the full 5 yards, but I do want to have the first arcane covered, have a character to work with, and have an idea of what their persona theme is. Or just make an npc friend with these arcana(Hierophant, Devil, Tower, Hanged Man, and Temperance), and tell me what they provide. In my personal opinion for the velvet room attendant, Temperance or Tower seems like the best arcana for them. Since either, they'll see themselves in a very high light(due to being an overseer of power), or know enough in life to be content with most things.

“Do you have the pluck?”
“You had the courage to turn the gun to your own head, did you not have the will to turn to them?”
“Love? That was merely her costume piece , a disguise to commit the vilist of crimes. You’ve let it happen once, let’s not do it again. Don’t you have something to desire?”
“Well then, let us proceed. We’ve both metaphorically hard up at the moment , our lives will end if nothing is done , are you willing to put yourself into my hands? Are you willing to chain yourself to the heavens you grasp in order to avoid returning to hell?, are you willing to perform crime?”
“Well then, let us begin… all you need to do is CALL. MY.NAME”
