Kids, hold onto your underwear, because we're about to get our tl;dr on. Well, that or our copy/paste on, in a few cases. It's time to get Personafied. And no, I don't mean Personified. That would be just silly.
Not with me so far? Let's hit up this link for the first part, and if you ARE with me, let's move on!
What Major Arcana do(es) your character(s) fit into the most?
For reference as to what a Major Arcana is and why it might be important, please refer to our wonderful Persona players who need it for their CR charts check out this awesome guide or the last times we did this poll! Styx even provided a cool little quiz if you'd like to try that route.
What would your character's Persona(s) be?
For reference to what a Persona is, in this context, here is a very helpful link. Essentially, a Persona is your inner self, your badass "other you" that you bring out to fight evil! To quote that link, what's more is that if you ever go through something, or "If an individual takes up a resolution in his or her heart, the Persona will undergo a metamorphosis into a stronger form." ... In other words, it evolves into an even cooler and stronger one.
You can take two paths here! Either come up with your own snazzy Persona(s) for your character using a fitting mythological figure or other similar object (or use a canon one and retool it to suit your needs - trust me, the various casts have done it enough to make this fair game) or check out canon Personas and pick one you think would suit your character!
What would it look like? If you're creating your own. What kind of skills would it use? How do these reflect on your character?
What would your character's Shadow be like? How would it act? What would their dungeon be like? Would your character be able to confront their Shadow?
What is a Shadow, you ask? Well, you can find more info on them here, but essentially, a Shadow is being come from within comprised entirely of a person's negative emotions. Their deepest, darkest, most well hidden feelings have taken form to this person, this "other you" that has no problems revealing to the world and attacking you for it all. In this case, a video expanation might be the best kind of reference. And no Kia, it's not Shadow Rise. This is Shadow Rise!
As far as a dungeon goes, it could be something simple or something complicated, but this (or the following link) might help a bit. It's basically another, more wide-scale (the "inner you") part of the Shadow thing, and where the Shadow would hang out. HOWEVER, this does not necessarily mean a person without a Shadow/a person who hasn't already accepted there Shadow (and there are these cases too!) won't still have a dungeon! Regarding confronting the Shadow, check out dem links.
Now, we DID sort of do this one way, way back, but it's been a long time so.
... And last but not least, to make this meme complete--!
What kind of weapon, if any, does your character fight with?
... I reeeeaaally hope this one doesn't need an explanation.
WHEW, that was really long! Let's get to it then! Obligatory FEEL FREE TO COPYPASTA/GET PERSONA GAMES! goes here.
