All teams can use the plotting post below to discuss ; 1: The Dual Persona that will happen during this match (as you may remember this is the time when Dual Personas will be awakened for the first time, and one of the times where the CR won't matter). Keep in mind that while there will be a mega log for the battles, that they will not take place on the same day and you can adjust your characters being around the city when it is not the day they are fighting.

▼ New Players who Just Joined Us!

▶ And for those just joining us into the game who are like "OH MAN PERSONA BATTLES?"

Yessssssssssss! And you too can join in for ROUND 2! Just sign the post below (you have until the 19th TO DO SO and they will be part of the second round next week. Again, see This post for more information about the tournament itself.

▼ Helpers / NPCS!

▶ For the NPCs: Slight switch of plans! Instead of having them be part of the tournament fighting, we'll be sending the people who wish to NPC characters backgrounds about them and then tell you what they'll be doing on the last day. Will they be a red shirt? Will they be Anoli? Will they just be some guy in the stands slowly eating popcorn? FIND OUT SOON.

Q&A

[stringmods]

If you have questions, ask them here!

[nofairy]

Just a couple questions!

Those matches that don't specifically say 'weapons' don't get to use weapons, right?

Will the Dual Personas be an immediate thing or will there be some battling before/after with other Personas?

Sorry if these are dumb questions it's 1:50 AM.

ROUND 2 SIGNUPS

[stringmods]

NEW PLAYERS WHO JUST JOINED AND OLDER PLAYERS WHO COULDN'T SING UP FOR ROUND 1 CAN JOIN!

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.
▶ Tag Speed: (Your tagging speed so we can pair you up with epople with smiliar tagging teams)

TEAM PLANNING

Hitoshura | Masamune Date -VS- Link | Mordred

[stringmods]

[hadronknight]

................well, at least I can safely say that Mordred's soul Persona is his own mother. but uh, any ideas on what their Dual Persona should be?

eq stop being complicated

[recycleddestiny]

Alrighty then - so Masamune really hasn't worked a whole lot with his Persona at this point, but we can at least say that Motorhorse is going to make an appearance here.

Any ideas for a Dual Persona?

Neku Sakuraba | Yu Narukami -VS- Eikichi Mishina | Nyaruko

[deathboss]

EIKICHI QUITS THIS MADNESS

(But seriously Eikichi + Nyaruko = Cthulhu?)

[poweryetunknown]

Neku and Yu... welp. Have fun with the kid who falls into your not!wife's domain...

Yosuke Otoha | Dark Pit -VS- Shas'la T'au Kais | Anant

[stringmods]

[greatergone]

Cage....match. Sorry Anant, you got the worst possible partner for a cage match.

[bakegarasu]

Otoha is pissed that he can't use his sword. :T

Daichi Shijima | Akihiko Sanada -VS- Kaito Watari | Miki Sanada

[stringmods]

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

kaito's so gonna call bullshit on daichi being in here because he never signed up for the tournament??????

????????????????????????

Cloche | Ginia Rosentia -VS- Haseo | Terra

[stringmods]

[killervocabulary]

Ginia objects heartily to this place's continued insistence on forcing her to sing. Destiny Strings, more like Destiny Sings, amirite? I, however, embrace this. As long as there's no more Vanilla Ice.

[pastalishe]

Yes, good, karaoke. This circumstance is Holy Maiden approved.

As for Dual Personas: I...... don't have many thoughts aside from
"it must be loud"
