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.

HELLO I AM THE LATEST and I apologize, I've been distracted with school starting up again for the last few days. I would love to get in touch and plot with all of you, though, so you can get ahold of me on AIM at xLadyRoxanne (feel free to message me even if I look offline/away, since I tend to leave in on invisible without meaning to a lot) or on plurk on the same name! I have no idea what I'm doing here, so I can go along with most any plan or. stuff. /)_(\

[fools_journey]

I'm gonna add you on plurk and then make a plotting plurk for all of us. c:

[aworldwithoutyou]

Sounds like a plan!

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Wouldn't be a very fun fight if we had an unbeatable strategy.

How about Maragion from Sasha for some offense and Patra from Meetra for some reactive defense?

[travelingtheworlds]

Sounds good. Now, for the remaining skills... I was thinking of Sasha's skill to be some sort of physical attack, unless you want a physical attack for Meetra's new skill. By the way, is Meetra at level 2 yet? Sasha doesn't hit level 2 till the end of the month, so I figured I'd ask so I know what skills to pick.

[quakega]

More or less. They're dressed like idiots and have to sing, might as well roll with it.

Y'know it's funny that you mention his Lingering Will, because I was going to make that his Ultimate persona (and name it Odin for kicks). And it can turn it's Keyblade into a bunch of other things to lay on the hurt. One of which is a claymore-like thing.

[charmedbymemories]

▶ Name: Naminé
▶ Bad Arcana: Temperance, Moon, Lovers, Sun
▶ Link to their character page: [X]
▶ Your Character's Title: The Mighty and Unflappable Lady Snowstorm
▶ Theme Song: Dance of the Daring
▶ Tag Speed: Medium

[bladedskies]

Yep. May as well (aaaaand harass the folks in charge for less revealing versions of the outfit, thankyouverymuch.)

Ah, duly noted! I haven't gotten that far in BBS, so my knowledge of the details is more than a little rusty. Either way, it's probably a good place to start, right? Something armored and mechanical-looking, that is.

[hadronknight]

and mordred's not manly enough to be a viking

[killervocabulary]

Excellent. \o/

I figure Ginia's donated skill would be Mabufu, with the new skill be a renamed Atom Smasher. Based on her initial perception of Cloche, which was her going on a rampage over the Teen Beat thing. And doing damage and instilling fear is something dragons do anyway. Maybe call it "Dismay".

...as for the arcana of the thing, a quick look-over puts Ginia as being Three or Nine of Wands, possibly. :|a

[linefacingforever]

Well, it's only one skill from Neku's list that is added to the dual persona; if you know what skill you want, you need only look it up on the abilities list and see what it's level 3 counterpart would be.

Izanagi's main attack force is physical and zio skills. I can see their persona being a massive lightning strike monster. XD

[stolemylook]

...oh that is so beyond perfect.

[bakegarasu]

Awwyeah.

Now to decide on the moves... :|a

[stolemylook]

They're both at level one, right? I offer up Cleave for DP's contributing skill.

[bakegarasu]

Yep. Unfortunately Dark Pit is one of Otoha's unlucky arcana...

I can offer up Eiha or Tarukaja for the skill.

[poweryetunknown]

Oh, does it get boosted to level 3 because Yu is?

Hmmm. Electrical Storm would be amazing. I can see his Muzzle Shot getting upgraded to Guillotine though. :T

[demifemme]

This is what I got so far for the dual Persona:

[KELPIE]
LVL2 | NINE of WANDS
Hitoshura [AU1] | demifemme | (LVL2,Matador) & Masamune Date [AU1] | recycleddestiny | (LVL1,Senrima)

SKILLS
▶ Garudyne (Inflicts a large amount of Wind damage on one enemy.)
▶ Ziodyne (Inflicts a large amount of Lightning damage on one enemy.)
▶ Grinders Anonymous (The next Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, or Almighty magic attack will be 2.5 times greater in power. Self.)
▶ Placeholder
▶ Victory charge (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage with a 10% chance of Fear on all enemies.)

The 4th skills is up for you to choose! The generator is here. We can pick level 2 skills because Shura is level 2. If you got questions or comments, don't be shy!

[recycleddestiny]

... oh my god this will be beautiful.

Anyway - I'm thinking of another phys. skill for this, along the lines of Heavenly Blade? though I admit I'm absolute balls for naming things.

[demifemme]

Added Heaven's Blade with a name I think fits their budding friendship :D

[KELPIE]
LVL2 | NINE of WANDS
Hitoshura [AU1] | demifemme | (LVL2,Matador) & Masamune Date [AU] | recycleddestiny | (LVL1,Senrima)

SKILLS
▶ Garudyne (Inflicts a large amount of Wind damage on one enemy.)
▶ Ziodyne (Inflicts a large amount of Lightning damage on one enemy.)
▶ Grinders Anonymous (The next Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, or Almighty magic attack will be 2.5 times greater in power. Self.)
▶ Time to Kick Ass! (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage on one enemy.)
▶ Victory Charge (Inflicts a large amount of Physical damage with a 10% chance of Fear on all enemies.)

[recycleddestiny]

Beautiful. :D

[linefacingforever]

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

Guillotine sounds fine. I'll contribute Ziodyne from Izanagi.

I've been thinking about a skill when it comes to how Yu feels about Neku, and I'm drawing blanks. Maybe something to do with the fact that they're both protagonists that do a lot of growing up in their respective games?

[poweryetunknown]

No problem. And hm. Yeah, that works. How Neku feels about Yu... for some reason the phrase "Hesitant Bonds" comes to mind...

[stolemylook]

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

Rugh, sucks for unlucky arcana. At least Otoha's not on DP's list.

I like Eiha, but I think Tarukaja would be more appropriate.

Also, for how DP feels about Otoha, I think "Loner's Advantage (Raises one ally's defense for three turns.)" sounds good to me. What you think?

[linefacingforever]

Hm... then how about, "Heroes Rally (Increases attack for all allies for three turns.)"?

"Hesitant Bonds" sounds legit; it would speak to Yu making all the social links, while Neku -- if I'm recalling right -- was pretty resistant.

[bakegarasu]

It's cool. o7

Sounds good... I still have to come up with one for the other way around even if he can't use it, right?

And they get another one for being cross-canon, right?
