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.

Ooooh, I can totally get behind that! Kinda curious what a Death + Chariot combination would yield arcana-wise, but lightning+wind would be an amazing elemental combination.

[linefacingforever]

...oh lordy. This is going to be awkward. Everything about this is going to be awkward.

I'm guessing this will be something death related?

[stolemylook]

How do you think Dark Pit feels? He prefers sniping; not going to happen like this. XD

[hetried]

it's...the....thrill of the fight....???

[killervocabulary]

...oh man, I like the double-phrase idea, as I am a sucker for those sorts of teamup attacks. As for the dragon-language phrase, perhaps "Dovahu munax fo", or "The dragon's cruel frost"?

They could! Though Ginia doesn't quiiiiite have the kind of knowledge that an actual dragon would, just what she's picked up from words of power.

[quakega]

^^ I remember reading the app and thinking the AU was interesting.

Haha, yeah, no kidding. Nope, definitely not tone-deaf; he's half-Disney, so being capable of singing is like. A Requirement (he just doesn't really do it that often and flails at having to do it).

He isn't! :D Which means this can not only be rather epic, but they'll both be able to use the full skill list of the dual persona.

So. :3 Any ideas re: the dual persona?

[selfgodded]

I should be the one apologising to you omg

This is going to go horribly awesome.

Btw do I have you on Plurk? I just think it'll be easier to coordinate the tournament fight through there if that's okay?

[greatergone]

Yep. I'm at bloodeagles

just doing tags with this account, still me

[belfire]

Alrighty! Added!

[greatergone]

o7!

[bakegarasu]

NOPE YOU'RE JUST WEIRD but yes it is cool

... Link is the most unsure

[poweryetunknown]

I am guessing so, yes. Though I associate both cats and kitsune with Neku... hmmm. :T

Maybe something related to Tsukiyomi, considering he's one of the children made in the aftermath of Izanagi's descent to Yomi and he's related to the moon which is Neku's arcana?

[bakegarasu]

And he has to use Pandora too. Sob, poor Pittoo.

I'm thinking something dark/night related? Batman clearly.

[linefacingforever]

Well, Yu's a cat person as well... and the fox... :o This works.

And I like the sound of that! Now we just need to figure out skills; Yu's level 3 right now if that helps.

[stolemylook]

...ngl, that would be the best Persona ever. XD

But yes! Dark/night related works perfect.

[bladedskies]

sdfgjkdfg T-thank you! >///<

Yeah, so at least they're not tone-deaf. That...will probably be their only saving grace in this mess. I guess the only approach they can have is that of "welp. here goes nothing," huh?

Awesooooome /o/ And, hmm...the dual persona, hmmmm...How about one of the keyblade suits of armor thingies? Except, y'know, with a broadsword and not a keyblade. Lingering Soldier for a name, maybe?

wrong account sorry

[celebrity_commentator]

Fortuna Redux looks good to me. Saint Christopher also occurred to me, but I think I like her better.

As far as this strategy, really there's two things here. First is that Force powers are extremely vague in how they work, even in the video game version of Star Wars Meetra's from. Second is that Meetra herself is amazingly overpowered for someone who canonically wound up a historical footnote, if that (thanks Bioware). I'm just going off the movies here where it takes serious concentration for even Yoda to safely lift/knock over things bigger than one guy. She can definitely focus and do it, I just don't think she can do it in one round. Plus that'd be unfair/godmodey.

If Sasha can keep them off balance, we should be able to do this.

[bakegarasu]

I already call Otoha Magic Japanese Batman 'cause he totally is...

I was thinking maybe Azazel? He's a Watcher/fallen angel, and deals with weaponry... he's also associated with scapegoats and impurity.

[demifemme]

Excellent!

Since the arcana of the dual Persona is based on how they feel about each other perhaps we should use the provided space in the Grand Prix tournament post to get them to know each other a bit. What do you think?

[poweryetunknown]

Neku's level 2... crap does that mean I need to fix up his Persona and... man I don't know how this upgrading stuff works. @_@

Neither of them are Unlucky Arcana to each other... Narasimha's got a pretty big elemental spread. He's got Agi, Bufu, and Zio skills. :T

[pastalishe]

I love team-up attacks. And that's why I love these Dual Personas-! Anyway, after fiddling around with some phrases, I've got this for Cloche's phrase:


xN colga fAwArYAn yora yassa/.
[subject identifier] [ice] [wraps around] [you] [complete]/.

"Ice envelops you completely."
+ Emotion Vowels that indicate Cloche is feeling resolute, despite having some sympathy for the targets. Because this tournament is ridiculous, ok!!

Still! I bet it would be an interesting conversation.

[recycleddestiny]

Probably a good idea, yes. :'D Now that I'm back home, I'll tag in proper.

[travelingtheworlds]

Okedoke! Which skill would you like to contribute to the Dual Persona? Sasha will probably donate either Maragion or Masukukaja, depending on what you'd like/what you donate. Then we have to work on the new skills, but let's get this settled first.

Sounds good to me! Sasha can stay on the offensive and try to keep the fire off Meetra, but like I said, she's not the best of meatshields. Her stamina might give out for a round if she takes too many hits. That won't stop her from doing her best, though.
