Persona Grand Prix 10th Anniversary After Crisis Edition

[stringmods]

Grand Prix Info

PERSONA GRAND PRIX!!!

...The stakes have never been higher this year.

Following a message sent out by Commissioner General Kiyoshi Suou earlier this week, the city has been abuzz if the Anoli will really show up or not. Also teenbeat magazine.

But will the Anoli show up or not? Will this simply be a tournament of the ages?

That...is a mystery in itself.

▼ General Information

▶ THIS TOURNAMENT MAY BE DANGEROUS ON LOCATION, AND LEAVE YOUR CHARACTER IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK. This is your warning upon signing up, or being a spectator in the tournament. Thankfully anyone seriously hurt will be out of the hospital before the 30th, at least.

▶ Sign up date to be a fighter is from the 6th until the 16th after which the signups will be closed.

▶ PLEASE ADD YOUR TAGGING SPEED AT THE END OF YOUR POST IF YOU SIGN UP so we know who to pair with who.

▼ PARTICIPANTS!

▶ Info about Dueling itself can be found in the Duel Page

▶ Characters can join even if they have not awakened their personas yet. In fact the tournament might actually really love that because ~~GREAT TV~~~

▶ You can sign up more than one of your characters, if you want!

▶ The logs involving the characters will start on the 16th. Visitor fights are scheduled to begin after the coming of age day. Before that, you will be able to write your characters going to watch and making sure nothing goes out of hand. (It will be done offscreen, but fortunately, nothing does go wrong during those days. Well, unless you're one one of the losers, anyway.)

▶ As signing up makes you automatically part of the tournament, they can be part of the opening ceremonies, if you want.

▶ IC wise, they would also have been told how to use an Evoker for the tournament before going out in the Ring. The days could also be used for training. Testing it is another thing entirely, as the Evokers are expensive and hard to produce.

▶ During any battle, you can post with your fellow combatant(s) to figure out who wins ahead or go as the long is done, OR ask me to roll a dice for you. The choice is up to both of you!

▶ Characters will be paired in teams for the tournament. In keeping with the game's fairness, the characters will meet in individual rooms 4-5 hours before the tournament to plan their strategy. this is to IC keep things fair (although OOC you will know who you are with a few days ahead)

▶ Because this is also when the characters will find out about dual personas, even if the two characters haven't had CR together for this occasion, they will get a special Dual Persona. You will be given a few day to make them so we can accept them before the fight. This is a unique occasion and a good way to, perhaps, make some new interesting CR.

▶ Characters get a free outfit for the event for their participation!

▼ Helpers!

▶ Tickets are free due to the danger involved and taken care by the government. However, the seats are scattered this time, in the hopes of making you blend in more with the local populace. Keep and eye out and your ears open!

▶ If you don't want to participate at all or be safe at your own home, you can either watch on a pay--per-view channel in 3DHD (YOU CAN FEEL THE PERSONAS CLOSE TO YOU!!), spiffy replays and embarrassing closeups, or on a public channel. All of the matches are displayed on every available channel around the city, so you don't even need a television; there's a feed in your COMP systems too.

▼ NPCS - We need your help!

▶ We won't be able to do all of the fights against the camps ourselves...AND THAT'S WHY WE'LL NEED YOU! Below you will find an NPC signup. Just reply with an account, and we will PM you with a small character bio. You will be paired up against our PCs and fight with them.

▶ And a few of them MAY be undercover Anoli! HOW MANY? Could be only one! Could be two! Could be all of them! Could be none of them! The only thing we ask is if they are Anoli, that they tell no one.

▼ Fight Conditions!

▶ Oh right! This is the BIGGEST GRAND PRIX EXTRAVAGANZA EVER!! They aren't going to make it just a simple Persona battle, after all...

▶ Players will not know until the battle begins, but each fight will have conditions. The conditions are randomized from the following list below:

▶ Only Soul Personas Allowed
▶ Weapon, Soul and Room Personas
▶ Element & Physical Only Battle (Without Weapons)
▶ Status Effect Only Battle (With weapons)
▶ Cage Match (meaning that the combatants are stuck in a smaller cage than normal.)
▶ Karaoke (meaning songs are displayed on the giant screen and fighters must sing their parts otherwise their turn is lost)
▶ Standing on top of two opposing plastic boats with plants on each side, a pool of 'sharks' below (The sharks are actually the dolphins)

You'll never be sure what you get until you enter the ring! Good luck and let's have some fun!

SINGUPS FOR THE TOURNAMENT

[stringmods]

REPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING:

▶ Name:
▶ Bad Arcana:
▶ Link to their character page: (the one found on the nearly updated character/persona update page EXAMPLE HERE so make sure you updated it!)
▶ Your Character's Title: (Unlike Persona 4 Arena, these titles are not insulting! Typically, their title should be combining one's arcana with the element they are associated to, with perhaps an adjective or two throwing in for pizazz. Someone of the Emperor Arcana who uses water could be "The Empirical Tsunami!" or "The Oceanic King!". Keep in mind that the characters chose their title IC-wise as well, so silly/funny titles are accepted, as long as they have the Arcana + main element hinted in there.)
▶ Theme Song: (A link to youtube, preferably. The theme song does not have to come from the character's game.
