OP1: TRAGEDY: ETERNITY by MYTH & ROID

Background:

In recent months, strange "occurrences" have started taking place where areas varying in sizes have had everyone within their vicinities suddenly end up dead, for example, an entire school, an entire district, and everyone inside a subway train have all spontaneously dropped dead. Similar events have occurred before but had been on scales small enough and rare enough that they were easily covered up and negligible, however, recent events have become so frequent that hiding them entirely from the public eye has proved more and more difficult. Needless to say this is a matter of grave national threat and as such a special department, Distorted Space Countermeasure Unit, DSCU, was formed in light of the discovery that the incidents have had to do with distortions in space and time.

At the same time, a certain group of High School Students have awakened to a certain power.

Stuff:

Okay so, obviously, the High School Students in question are the newly awakened Persona users. Users are only able to awaken to their Personas when within a Space Time Distortion, or STD (Yes, this was done on purpose ayyyyy) for short, also known more commonly as a "Fracture". Therefore, I will handle the awakening of their Persona as part of the plot. Also, I'm accepting OCs in 2 phases, the first will be the main party members, and the second will be confidants who will be supporting characters. I am only accepting a few party members, but will accept as many confidants as there are Arcanas outside of a couple plot-centric characters, outside of the party. Note that confidants can also be Persona-Users, but obviously not all of them, only about two to four of them at max. Also, while party members must be in High School (Grade does not matter), confidants can be of any age and any background. I think an accurate description of this story would be a hybrid of elements from P3 and P5.

Schools:

Party Members can come from any of these four schools.

Shinkiro High School: A co-ed public high school that can be considered the "normal" high school that most students in Japan go to. They have a balanced focus between arts and activities with academics.

Ayuzawa Academy of The Arts (Nicknamed "Triple A"): A co-ed private academy dedicated to the Arts. This is not restricted purely to fine arts or performing arts, but also courses such as media and journalism.

Kirin School for the Gifted: A private cram academy for boys dedicated to preparing students for university entrance exams. Their curriculum is very heavy on academics and is very strenuous. Rather than having high school and middle school separated, their program goes in a single streamline fashion, and students begin their preparations for uni exams right from the start, rather than having to go through a high school entrance.

Meijin Girl's Academy: Essentially the female equivalent of Kirin. The difference is that Meijin is noted for its exclusive and elite student body, with majority of students coming from wealthy families and while the students of Kirin are accepted purely via their academic merit, many students of Meijin were "bought" in or a combination of both elite status and good academics. Very rarely is a non-elite accepted through scholarships and only through exceedingly exceptional academic ability.

Clubs and Activities:

As in the games, there will be things like clubs, hobbies and part-time jobs that do affect your OC's stats. The effects won't be as explicit as they are in the games but they do have a noticeable effect on your OC's growth. Also, do note that due to the natures of Kirin and Meijin's curriculums, they have a lot less time allocated to extra-curricular activities, and therefore received less boosts to their growth from them. In return, their knowledge increases a lot easier. The same goes for Triple A, but their bonus goes to creativity and crafting.

These are the following clubs in each school:

Shinkiro High School: Library, Drama Club, Dance Club, Track Club, Gymnastics Club, Soccer Club, Basketball Club, Akido Club, Kendo Club, Shoji Club, Gardening Club, Light Music Club, Computer Club

Ayuzawa Academy of The Arts: Cosplay/Anime Club, Engineering Club, News Club, Charity Club, Animal Lovers Club Drama Club, Dance Club, Track Club, Gymnastics Club, Soccer Club, Basketball Club

Kirin School for the Gifted: Archery Club, Shooting Club, War Games Club, Track Club, Gymnastics Club, Soccer Club, Basketball Club, Akido Club, Kendo Club, Shoji Club, Library Club

Meijin Girl's Academy: Shooting Club, Akido Club, Drama Club, Dance Club, Shoji Club, Gardening Club, Light Music Club, Cooking Club, Library Club

Combat:

Personas:

Like in all Personas, your OC will have their original Persona and their Ultimate Persona. I would like their initial Persona to be an original Persona created by you or if you're having trouble, I can create one for you but of course, it might not fit your own vision of their Persona if I create them. Their Ultimate Persona can either be an original or an existing high level Persona/Demon of your OC's Arcana.

Fighting:

Personas obviously require a lot of energy to summon, so purely relying on them for combat will result in tiring out easily. Therefore OCs will have to be able to fight on their own as well, at least to a limited extent. Persona users also gain heightened physical abilities when within Fractures, but they are increased from your OC's base physicals, so someone who is normally physically stronger normally will likewise be the same proportionately in a Fracture. Once again, these physical stats are also based on what clubs or activities your OC partakes in. Moreover, any damage one's Persona takes will be reflected on the user. The damage is not to the full extent, but is enough that if your Persona got slammed by say a truck, you would feel like you just got punched in the chest by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

When in a Fracture, Persona users change appearances like in Persona 5 into an attire that reflects their personality.

Weapons work the same way as in Persona 5. Replica weapons function as real weapons when in Fractures, but your OC only gets one weapon, rather than the one melee and one ranged weapon combo. This is to give OCs more specialized roles. Also, the more realistic a weapon looks, the more effective they will be. Moreover, if one can pull off an elaborate weapon realistically, for example a VERY realistic replica of some super over the top weapon from an anime or game, those weapons are the strongest of all.

Similarly, armor works in the same way as weapons.

Last note, keep in mind that I do have a very slice of lifey way of writing, and while I do love action scenes, a lot of time will be allocated to the "school life" aspect of Persona. That is not to say that this is going to be a sitcom. There will be action, I assure you.
