Open Log Roundup!

Look at all these open logs! Look at them and go join the fun!

► Minako drags Minato out of bed to explore the city! And hopefully they'll run into more people (like you) on the way...

► Misery collects ingredients. Go talk to her or help her out.
► Asem searches for a place to land his Gundam. Gawkers welcome! Giant robots!!

► Urataros exploring the Virgo district. Shall you join this charming gentleman?
► 13th Hour! Eiji scopes out the night monsters to see what they are all about.
► Simon possibly finds a decent job. Drills are probably involved.

PLAYER PLOTS

We love them! We now have a webapge so you can submit them [RIGHT HERE]

TEAMS

We're going to put on indefinite hold the idea of teams, and keep it in mind for later. For now, we've decided that the whole putting people on teams based on the writing speed of that time is the best solution for everyone since that changes depending on what you might be having.

Sexy CR and Persona Charts

Need a little bit of PIZAZZ for your charts? We've had three very awesome people making charts for us:

► Random made this badass CR chart, which you can get [RIGHT HERE]
► CHRIS made a Persona Chart based on TWI's and made it Destiny Strings Flavored. You can find this badass chart [RIGHT HERE]

APARTMENT LOG!

We'll be posting one once this app round is done. That way everyone can join in! But meanwhile...

September 24th Event

Due to the fact that we are still working on the older logs and because we realized that having the event next month means everyone including the OCs and AUs we didn't allow first round can participate, we're replacing the monster event with a little AUTUMN CELEBRATION.

...but we're not leaving you in the dark. In fact, we will now tantalize you with delicious info as to what this event is exactly.

So let's talk about Zodiac Events..

As you might have guessed, it involves Zodiac Symbols. Each 2 to 3 months, a new monster will appear in the city based on the Zodiac of that month. If you've played Persona 3, you might be getting flashbacks of the Arcana monsters. The idea is somewhat similar...

...but there's much more! With Zodiac comes compatibility. With comparability comes how your character is affected.

Let's take oh Scorpio wow that just so happens it's next month!.

Everyone who is Scorpio will be affected by the following:
► Their personality traits and quirks will spike a few days before the event into cardboard cutouts of themselves. For example, if a character is a show off, they'd do extreme things, or couldn't stop crying, or become completely angry. Emotional turmoil is just crazy.
► On the date of the event, they will have their face covered with a mask that they cannot remove until the Boss is defeated.
► And they will attack everyone else. Their Personas will take on a dark taint, and their Mutation skill will be unlocked.
► This means everyone else will also need to try and not kill them (knocking them out is a good idea)

The Perfect Partners (Cancer, Capricorn)
► Will get their Mutation skill unlocked.
► But will get swarmed by tiny little shadow monster scorpions in the city so you'll need to defend yourself. (The attack with strike and poison damage)
► They will also have the Scorpios of the city swarm at them, zombie style, so it's not just the tiny bugs, but also the really big people in masks.
► And yes, this is not just the players but also includes the city populace so that is a lot of Scorpios.

Unaffected by Anything (Pisces, Virgo, Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius)
► Will not feel anything different and are the sanest people wondering what the hell is wrong with everyone else.

The Astrological Hell (Leo, Aquarius & Taurus)
► Will only have their first THREE powers available (Keep in mind it is just during that day)
► You are filled with dread and terror a day before. We're talking hearing voices being whispered and needed to use tinfoil to cover your head.
► It goes in overdrive the next day where you have a fear status on you (you cannot, however, be affected by fear=KO effects). It will disappear once the Boss is defeated.
► Are completely afraid of the boss and have no idea why.

The final boss fight:
► Is signup and has eleven slots
► Each slot is for one zodiac sign. Yes that includes the three hell signs which means you'll need to kick those people while they are screaming.
► If you are picked for this boss battle, you can't join the next one.

The Opt-Out Option:
► Players who do not wish to participate are infected by Zodiac Rejection Syndrome in which, for some reason or another, they don't seem to be affected by the sickness that is covering the rest of the city. Think of it like everyone getting a massive cold and a few not having this problem. This does not mean that during the next round they would not be affected (if the player want to join, that time)
► Additionally, they obviously do not get the power up / persona skills / items / etc that comes with being in the event either.

[stringmods]

Actually yes, we just didn't to add it since it was a preview. We're adding it now.

Players who do not wish to participate are infected by Zodiac Rejection Syndrome in which, for some reason or another, they don't seem to be affected by the sickness that is covering the rest of the city.

[maybe_a_king]

Wow, I'm not even in the game yet and I feel so loved.

[maybe_a_king]

Also just realized that holy shitake, Arturia is an Aquarius.

She is coming right from someone she knew getting killed and has lived her life being told to keep her head down.

This is going to be amazing.

[odiousking]

[castsnarukami]

[kagami_arrow]

Somehow the thing that sticks out is that "Pisces" is misspelled.

[stringmods]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

....

[Waves hand.]

[themortalhalf]

October continues to be the best month.

A+.

[nofairy]

... Link is a Taurus and Naoya is a Scorpio. This will be amazing.

Though Link will push through it because Triforce of Courage, but! Yes. ;w;

[abmoemination]

Did I forget to mention that Nyaruko is a SCORPIO?

And most of her abilities revolve around people being feared? :D :D :D :D

[nofairy]

sdlkjfsd /chokes

[empressive]

Oh god, not Taurus!

Mitsuru may not be screaming cause that's not what Kirijos do, but she'll be mentally screaming in her head the whole time.

This will be fun 8D

[guidemethroughit]

Finally my true power will be unleashed beware all ye who tread the waters of destiny strings the god of death is a-waiting

[handshakegreeting]

...Both of the resident gods of death are. the children are doomed

[canteachyoumore]

Oh man, Theodore the Virgin Attendant is the only sane sibling......

does this mean their fated tests are coming sooner than expected fellow denizens--

[greyerrant]

Oh -great- Leo.

And they shall know fear.

[zero_to_herooo]

...Eiji is going to be a really annoying Scorpio.

[misery_hates_company]

All three of my characters here or soon to be here, and the only one that's going to be functional is Misery.

This is only mildly amusing.

[baniichan]

Because another mental breakdown is exactly what this poor bastard needs.

(In other words, I love it, looking forward to it, etc.)

Thank you so much for putting all of this together! C: It's great.

[oathofdevotion]

Oh boy, mutation skill unlocked! *v* So excited!
