STORY OF PERSONA

Once, a long time ago, a young man named Stephen was coming back home from a late night service he had to attend to that night.
It wasn’t like every other night, this night seemed to be much more foreboding and darker than any other usual night, so Stephen hurried home, it might’ve been a bad omen.
When he had arrived home, he heard a cracking sound while he got closer to his bedroom in the dark.

“I wonder what’s going on…”

He peered into the room, and saw that the egg he had created in his spare time had started hatching.
Stephen watched in amazement as out of the egg came a baby.
He snapped out of his awe-induced trance as the strange baby started crying.
With haste, he picked up the baby and rushed it to the bathroom, to be cleaned off and to warm it up. It was as cold as ice.

After Stephen had cleaned the baby, and wrapped it in a thick blanket, he was thinking on what to name it.
He stroked the baby’s cheek with his finger as he studied it’s features.

“… You’re very pale, and have lovely brown hair… And a captivating pair of blue eyes… I shall name you Dante Nox…”

And with that, Stephen was very interested in what exactly this creature was… So he wanted to create more.

--------

A few years later, Dante, still a mere child but nearing his teenaged years, curiously had wandered through Stephen’s large home as he was away.
Dante had found a room that had an ominous feel to it, but opened it nonetheless.
Upon stepping in, he stopped in his tracks, frozen in horror.
What he saw around him were various vats with large colorful eggs in them, and papers and books with the names of different species written in them scattered everywhere.
He had backed up slowly, wanting to leave, since he felt more connected to the eggs for some reason and found it morbid, but as he took a step back, he bumped into a pair of legs.
Looking up, Dante stared into the piercing eyes of Stephen, the last thing he saw was Stephen shaking his head before he blacked out.

When Dante awoke, it was because he smelt fire and felt a burning feeling starting to get past the numbing feeling he felt in his body.
Shooting his eyes open, he tried to sit up, but realized he was tied down to a wooden table of sorts.
He looked to his side, looking past the people crowded around him, past their horrified and melancholy expressions, staring straight at Stephen as he slowly was being
burned alive for something he didn't know he did.
A single tear rolled down the side of his face as he let out his final cry before he died.

--------

After the event, Stephen went on creating creatures he called Persona, continued to condemn the ones he thought would turn out bad, like his first, letting them to live on their own, eventually dying from lack of affection and nutrition.
But what Stephen didn’t know was that, Persona can’t be killed… They die from old age, or malnutrition.
... What Stephen didn’t know was that, he had created the worst Condemned Persona alive, Post Mortem… He had created the Condemned Persona that would forever loathe the
Persona he had kept, and take care of the ones he had lost hope on…
…… Priest Stephen had created his worst enemy.

User ImagePRIEST STEPHEN

Stephen, not only a priest, is the creator of the Personae.
He's the one who takes care of, distributes, and condemns the Personae, he is, sort of, the god of them all.

He is a kind young man, of about 30, and never wears a frown... Which many overlook, but thinking back on it, maybe his happiness is a façade that hides who he truly is? Is he really 'kind'?

Stephen: "I do hope you enjoy and love your Personae. Come back soon."

DANTE NOX


Dante Nox was the first Persona ever created, but for something he never did, he was also the first Persona condemned... For his 'evil deed' he was to be burned alive.

Dante's soul purpose is to find the condemned Personae(and possibly find Personae to be condemned), and house them until they feel like leaving.

He is a quiet Persona and doesn't easily trust others, except other condemned Personae, and he also loathes Priest Stephen and any 'Normal' Personae. Though, under his tough and cold exterior, is a caring Persona.

Dante: ".... Take care of the Personae.. My door's always open for those who are condemned..."
[Note: Vox(Taichi) will be roleplaying as Dante, since he's actually her persona]

STAGES

*Doesn't Necessarily Apply To All Persona*
-Just a slight guideline-

-Egg-
Your Persona can't do much in this stage but be kept warm, they loose heat quickly.

-Baby-
Much like the egg, they must be kept warm. Your Persona is at the peak of learning, so teach it a lot before it gets older! Persona babies learn things faster than children.

-Child-
Your Persona is finally developing it's own personality, it knows somewhat what's going on around them.

-PreTeen-
This is the stage the Persona start either acting rebellious, or start obeying you more. Learns complete speech by then.

-Teenager-
Your Persona knows very much about it's surroundings and can respond if something they like or dislike happens, they aren't too afraid to speak up. Downside is... Hormones.
Just tapped into their powers

-Young Adult-
Your Persona knows when, or when not to, act polite, and is starting to be more observant of it's surroundings.
Can somewhat handle their powers

-Adult-
Your Persona is full grown and can hold a complete conversation is they wished! They know just as much as you do about the world, and are mentally and physically prepared to find a partner if they so desired. They act on their own free will, but will still listen to their owners.
Can handle their powers.

-Elder-
ATTAINABLE ONLY THROUGH ROLEPLAYING.
Elder Persona are very wise, and know when to keep their mouth shut. They have distinct features to tell them apart from adult[Such as designs on their clothing, markings, wings, etc.].
They are fully capable of handling and manipulating the powers they were given at birth.
