				To those people who have been invited over, I do have a question for you. Would you prefer Persona 6 to be a <strong>BESM 4e</strong> game, an <strong>OVA </strong>one, or <strong>freeform</strong>? There are benefits and drawbacks to each approach.

He's a classically trained countertenor - he has a "double falsetto" and as a result can sing higher than some girls. He's also into crossplay (displaying as the opposite sex) and he's become quite good at it. You wouldn't think of him as being so - my character is on the tall side. But otherwise - fine face, large eyes, peach-fuzz at best beard, narrow shoulders, long, slender hands. With some pads, a wig and a little make-up he will turn your heads.<br><br>Well my girlfriend and I was practicing an act for our next convention when her father observed us. My girfriend's father owns a Noh Theater and was an onnagata in his prime. An onnagata is a Noh actor who specializes in playing female roles, because Noh is an all-male tradition. My girlfriends father was quite impressed and made me an offer - he'd sponsor my college education, if I became his understudy at the theater for a number of years.<br><br>That's a big offer... One my character hasn't committed to. It could give him a lot of exposure, and set up his future by having a Bachelor's Degree - or even a Master's - without any student debt. He's have a pairs internship and plenty of hands m-on time with his mentor. But... My character is worried about his reputation, what his friends and family would think, and to a lesser degree his identity. Mind you, he's straight. He's not trans, just a part-time crossdresser. But does he want to be professionally know as a crossdresser?<br><br>To test the waters, he's applied his art skills into making a virtual youtouber channel, where the main character is a Miku-esque Jpop star.<br><br>His Persona is Wa Alice, a very Asian but also very girly version of Alice-in-Wonderland. He'd probably have Ice, Wind or Psy as his element, and his sub 2rd Esserspeciality would be mental status ailments like charm, dispair, rage or panic. A good performer is supposed to instill strong emotions in his audience. <br><br>When in the Metaverse, his outfit resembles his virtual youtube star persona. This is interisting because Cognitive Psience comes into play. Is he a guy or a girl in the Metaverse? The answer is yes to both.&nbsp; Physically he dosen't change, but... Just as you guns fire real-enough bullets if the guns look real enough, just as new Phantom Thieves have guns even though Ryuji only bought a gun for Ren, my character is effectively an honorary girl as far as the Metaverse is concerned. Anything that affects girls, like,say the charm attack of a self-important boss, affects me too.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>So! The above look to be the concepts that were suggested so far! I'll share mine again, for ease of reference. <em>(Disclaimer: This character is based quite heavily off of Joker, and that's because he, as a character, is one of my favourite aspects of the P5 game, and the main reason why I wanted to give this a go. So... apologies! I am going to be moulding her into something different as we progress, but her start-up premise is inevitably going to be close to Joker's.)</em><br><br>It is as follows: that of the pictured, white haired girl in this thread's first post banner: the wild card Persona-user who is quiet, yet charismatic and a natural leader (will be buying up points in Inspire or a similar Advantage/trait if we use a system). Her initial Persona is Memnoch, an aspect of Satanael (who Memnoch might awaken to in time), and she uses dual knives and dual pistols in combat (depending on whether she is fighting melee or ranged); in a pinch, she can use one of each, so that she can move between close and distanced attacks rapidly. Her musical style is somewhat alternative/indie/pop-rock (think the kind of songs that played in Persona 5 by Lollia), though she can vary her style and support the other characters in their Musical Expressions as part of her wild card leanings; her instrument/means of contributing to a Musical Expression is singing. Her Arcana will be the Fool, since it seems most in-keeping with the wild card power she has.<br><br>In the Metaverse, her costume changes to include a black and gold jacket, black choker, white gloves, and microphone headset (all pictured), as well as trousers of a similar design (gold and black), a black corset-vest, a boots. Her pistols are stored in shoulder holsters beneath her arms; her knives are tucked into waist sheathes against the small of her back.<br><br>Keeping close to the cool, rarely speaking trend of the Persona games, she'll likely be a new comer to whatever school we base this game out of, but I have various ideas about why she's there and what she was up to before showing up. Like with the others, her background can come to light the more she engages with people, provided they make the effort to get to know her.<br><br>Oh, another question for you guys: would you prefer the Japanese or Western naming convention when playing? (i.e. would you like us to name our characters Family Name + Given Name, or Given Name + Family Name) I much prefer the Japanese method, especially since this will be set in Japan like the other games, but won't be opposed to using the western method if that's what everyone wants/prefers.<br><br>Final point: I'm happy to go BESM 4e if you guys are, but it will require more cooperation on prep-work beforehand to get the Advantages/Enhancements/Limitations/Defects sorted for Personas and the Metaverse. If that's not desired for a system people don't know, we can look at OVA or freeform, both of which are easier, but less defined.

				Love the ideas, TheHangedMan! Sounds like the team is forming slowly. =D And having someone well-off to provide the Open Mic Knights* a home-base away from school would be pretty darn cool.<br><br>Regarding the system choice, since it seems like that is a Big Thing that needs to be determined before we can progress, I have the following thoughts:<br><br><strong>OVA:</strong> A simple system, which is easy to make characters for. However, deciding what traits are used in which rolls can be a pain, and often falls to the GM to veto requested trait choices just to ensure that players aren't claiming maximum dice bonuses on every roll.<br><br><strong>BESM 4e:</strong> There will be a lot of prep for this, but it provides a defined and solid platform from which to play the game. This is my current first choice, but it will require us to work on getting some things set up beforehand so we're all in agreement on what needs to be chosen to provide a uniform mechanical representation of Personas and the Metaverse.<br><br><strong>Freeform:</strong> Allows us to just jump in, but has the major drawback of now having any rules to guideline play.<br><br><em>*Again, suggest something else if you're sick of the name!</em><br><br><strong>Edit:</strong> I'm CONSIDERING the name Kojima Akari (or Akari Kojima, when using western naming convention) for my character, though that might change as I work on her. I'm wondering whether we should choose nicknames for the characters for the Metaverse, or whether we should let each other decide them in play. :-\

				Having played neither, I'd say go with BESM (because I flipped a coin, and that's what came up. Is Malk logic, yes).<br><br>As for nicknames, it makes sense for them to come up 'organically', during play, to me.

				Good, that's two votes. You others?<br><br><strong>BESM:</strong> 3<br><strong>OVA:</strong> 0<br><strong>Freeform:</strong> 0<br><br>Side-note: I may have been adding more songs to (my personal) Persona 6 soundtrack. Please remember to let me know if you've songs you'd like to include there, and remember to give it a listen if you want something to jam to whilst you write. P6 is musically influenced, after all, with Musical Expression being a thing, so it seems fitting.

It's a simple system, but the character creation is very involved and time consuming, but you end up with a character who's pretty much tailor-made. Like Mutants &amp; Masterminds or Champions, for example.<br><br>System-wise, it's 2d6 + STAT (+ Advantages) vs Difficulty. If you have Minor Edge, you roll 3d6 and pick the best two; if you have Major Edge, you roll 4d6 and pick the best two. If you have Minor or Major Hindrance or Obstacle (I forget the name), you roll 3d6 or 4d6 and pick the worst two.

				Yup! You have three core STATS - Body, Mind, Soul - which range from 1-12 - and Advantages normally range from 1-6 (but rarely can rate higher). You tailor these with Enhancements and Limitations, which can raise or lower the effective level of the Advantage but keep the cost the same, depending on whether the Enhancement or Limitation makes the overall power more expansive or limiting.<br><br>For example, I might acquire the following for Kojima Akari:<br><br><strong>Augmented: Body 4</strong> <em>(Limiter: Environmental 1 (Metaverse); 6 points)</em><br><br>This Advantage gives my character a higher Body score, and normally represents someone having a higher physical score through some means other than raw physical capability (augmentations, magic, etc.). This normally costs 2 points per level, which for the 6 points I spent means I SHOULD have <strong>Augmented: Body 3</strong>; however, because I've put the Limiter on it that the Augmentation only takes place in the Metaverse, the Effective Level of the power raises to 4 without me having to pay another 2 points. Another Limiter would raise the Effective Level to 5 but keep the cost the same; an Enhancement would have the inverse effect, but make the overall Advantage more diverse.

				Off the top of my head, I don't think so. You just can't take the Effective Level below 1 with Enhancements, or past the maximum level recommended by the power. <br><br>Also, if we go with BESM (which it looks like we will be, unless someone really objects), it might help for us to discuss what kind of thing we want the Metaverse and our actions in there to be like. I'm good with anything like P5, but the more we discuss it - how we get there, what it's like, how it affects our stories - then the easier it'll be to work out mechanically.<br><br>My metaplot hopes - which may obviously change if a GM emerges - is that the story will tie in with the possible emergence of Nyx or a similarly powerful entity, but what we're doing in the Metaverse, how we get there and what we achieve whilst there, will not only be important in determining power builds but also the general direction, feel, and themes of the Persona 6 story. I'm happy to share my thoughts on this, though admittedly they're pretty close to P5 (because I adore that game); I'm going to wait until everyone else has given input before I do so, however.<br><br>I will say one thing now, however: I don't want P6 to feel like we're going backwards, or that there's a de-escalation.&nbsp; The risks, the enemies, and the overall plot should be bigger than those before. Who knows, maybe this story can even have cameos from previous games? It would be cool to feel like our group is handling something that even previous heroes might have struggled with.

				That's significantly more thought out than my own idea seed, and has some merits. If we were to fuse them, the Muses could be seen less as divine inspiration, and more like; fragments of the collective soul of Humanity? Breaking them free could empower humanity to shake off the fugue of Apathy Syndrome, while also bringing about a sense of moderation and balance. Using them to unify or nullify the external extremes.

				I'm okay with the fused ideas. Maybe the Muses are fragments of Humanity's creativity?<br><br>Just an observation, If this is a debate that's spilled it's banks, the Muses include all Arts, including Rhetoric. What better way to hold a debate that might destroy Humanity that poison it's ability to fight back? And it destroys creativity, one of Humanity's greatest resources, as a side benefit? Narly likes!<br><br>The Hush and the Din are symptoms. Just like Apathy Syndrome was in P3. It's a strange mental phenomenon that is a (growing) cause of concern for the public. The Scratch isn't thought to be Apathy Syndrome. But it is thought to be similar to the Psychotic Breakdowns that plauged Japan during the time of the Phantom Thieves.<br><br>I like the idea that the Muses have a physical avatar in reality, and to save them we need to change their cognition. By playing music/making art, in a world were art is blasé or even illegal. I'll build on that in a moment.<br><br>For some reason, I imagine us fighting giant demonic earworms (literally 'der Ohrwurm') who are are literally whispering poison to the Muses, turning them from creation to destruction. What if the Muses are suffering from the Scratch?<br><br>Those Earworms are Narly's true plan. Narly knew that he'd never be able to steal the Muses, but it does make for a good distraction. My I introduce to you the concept of the Overton Window, where one can shift public opinion thought the act of first making outrageous demands and then following up with a less extreme demand. Narly is trying to basically ghostlight humanity into killing itself through the accumulated cognitive poison (e.g.: like (self-)hatred, jealousy, worthlessness) these Earworms have spread. The poison is so subtitle we see it in action and don't even react to it. <br><br>Imagine after we beat the first boss, someone makes a Bad Song Prison. People nominate songs that are atrocious, and if it gets enough support it's banned on campus. And it grows. The songs that are being put in each round become a little less bad each time, and then the Bad Song Prison becomes actual law, and then at the end music itself is banned.<br><br>P5 had a 7 Deadly Sins theme to it's villains. Taking a page from that playbook, I propose that our arc-villains be Ten Comandments themed, with Narlyhotep being the violation of the 1st Commandment - Idolatry (I am God, have no other gods before me. Do not worship graven images or idols.) (Narly fits the whole 'A GOD is me! Bow before my power!" trope.).<br><br>This means that we'd need a Blasphoney Boss (...use my Name in vain), Reverse Sloth (...do labor on the Sabbath), Disrespect (Honor thy Father and Mother.), Homocide (...kill /...shall do no murder), Adultery (...commit adultery), Theft...(...steal) Lying (...bear false witness) and Jealousy (...covet #lots_of_examples).

				I'm voting for the western convention, too. I don't think it will ruin immersion. As for the muses.<br><br><br>Calliope is the Muse of Epic Poetry. She was also the mother of Orpheus, which is a nice little shoutout to P3 by including her. " According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Calliope is the most important of the nine Muses because she "attends on worshipful princes." She is usually depicted wearing a gold crown and carrying a writing tablet, a scroll, or a book in her hand." A modern day incarnation may b a rabble-rousing artist? (thoughts welcome, what they represent is fairly open to dozens of interpretations).<br><br>Clio, the Muse of History. " As the "proclaimer, glorifier, and celebrator of history, great deeds, and accomplishments," she is the namesake for various modern brands including the Clio Awards for excellence in advertising,". I imagine her as the sort of nerdy-dorky-geeky trifecta, surrounded by books, always carrying a notepad around, writing down quotations, sketching out scenes; recording. <br><br>Erato, perhaps the Patron Muse of Elliquiy, covers lyric poetry, and especially, erotic poetry. Some times depicted as keeping company with Cupid and/or Eros. An idea occurs to me that maybe each of our characters has a tie to a certain Muse; my character, who enjoys writing poetry and songs, would naturally gravitate towards her. An idea for where she may be hiding, given the company she keeps: Being kept imprisoned by either Jealousy (who is, of course, jealous), or Adultery (given the erotic, sensual, and romantic natures of Erato, Ero, and Cupid). <br><br>Euterpe, The Giver of Delight, "was the Muse of music and was known to entertain the gods on Mount Olympus. She inspired poets, authors, and dramatists." Maybe, at the start of the game, she's free; maybe the only free Muse left? And she reaches out to our band of delinquents, because our characters have that quintessential "spark" that makes them protagonists.&nbsp; She could remain as a mostly neutered but supportive character (maybe offering direction in the Metaverse?), or could even be kidnapped at some point--presumably after our characters have had a chance to get to know her--and seeing her kidnapping, being too weak to stop it; that could both introduce the Big Bad, as well as make things personal, giving the characters greater motivations to improve themselves.<br><br>Melpomene was the Muse of singing, but later on, she became more closely associated with classical Tragedy plays.&nbsp; No ideas immediately come to mind with what to do with her.<br><br>Polyhymnia is the Muse of sacred hymns, as well as meditation, and even geometry. Very serious-minded. Maybe she was the first to be corrupted, and by the time the other Muses realized their so-so-serious sister had been compromised, it was too late? Maybe have a sort of holy roller/evangelist vibe to her 'dungeon'?<br><br>Terpsichore is the Muse of dancing. Again, nothing instantly springs to my mind.<br><br>Thalia is the Muse of comedy. Maybe her dungeon is a stand up comedy club, but all the comedians are terrible (and shadows)? For a change of pace, maybe it's a 'puzzle' dungeon, where the players don't have to just slaughter every shadow in their way, but instead have to; do a good comedy skit? Maybe? Something to jostle Thalia into remembering what she really stands for.<br><br>Ourania is the Muse of astronomy&nbsp; and astronomical writing, "is the Muse of astronomy and astronomical writings. She is said to be able to tell the future by the arrangement of the stars." Another idea occurs; instead of Euterpe being the last free Muse, maybe it's Ourania. She could fulfill a role similar to Futaba, tactical analysis and guidance, through her divination. <br><br>...Well, I know it's mostly ramblings, but hopefully there's something good hidden in there. Thoughts?

				Sorry for the momentary silence on my end - I've not been too well the last few days.<br><br>I can get behind western naming conventions, if that's the more popular choice - and it seems it is. In that case, my wild card will be Akari Kojima (90% settled on the name, but it might change).<br><br>Loving all of these examples and ideas. The idea that humanity is being robbed of creativity and drive is quite a powerful one, and image of the singing/song/dancing rebels is a powerful counter-point to that. I'm definitely onboard, though will need to look up who Narly is in relation to the franchise (I only know him by Lovecraft lore). ???<br><br>So the premise being that the der Ohrwurm have captured/trapped the Muses and are bringing them low through dark whispers? And with the Muses having physical representations, we could very well have to locate and affect these Muses in the Metaverse, restoring their drive and recognition of creativity and the Arts? Am I reading this right? (I'm still a little brain-addled.)

				Going with the Student template makes sense, and logically, the hidden power could also be used to create the Persona. I'm definitely down with that. In terms of character power levels, I would think that low level Adventurer (50-55 points) makes sense--our characters are supposed to be way better than typical teenagers, but they are still young.
