Oh crap, sorry guys I had to back out at the last second. Exams time sucks =(

Well, since we have everyone here and it doesn’t look like the forums are going up anytime soon, I think we should start it on the reserve forums.

I’ll post my bio here for now then I’ll transfer it later and all that.

Name: Toshio Kimura
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5’8
Grade: 11
Classroom:2D
Dorm room: None (for now)
Preferred weapon: Tennis racquets

Appearance: Toshio has dark ash black hair that grows down to the base of his neck with his bangs swept to the side of his forehead. He has an eyesight problem so he usually wears contacts over his gray colored eyes or when he’s in private or in casual situations, wears dark blue glasses. When not wearing his school uniform, he’s dressed in a long sleeved white and blue striped t-shirt with a hood and a tight fitting black vest that he usually leaves unbuttoned. He also wears gray slacks that seem to bunch at his ankles and cream colored high tops.

Personality: While Toshio isn’t the most gregarious person on campus, he’s sociable enough to be well-liked among his peers and as a result, is considered to be above-average popular. However, he carries a jaded demeanor toward life. He knows that his so-called popularity isn’t important and that people who are considered to be popular don’t even have particularly redeeming qualities. So while he acts friendly, he is naturally skeptical of most people and doesn’t really allow many to get close to him. He used to have a few close friends, and even then he was still critical of them. However, the few friends he does have see that he is reliable and a good source of advice and guidance and although he can be sarcastic most times, he is a naturally nice person. Toshio is also very self-sufficient. He hates relying on others and does things on his own to the point where it becomes inconvenient to do so. This can be a challenge as he occasionally breaks out into dizzy spells or coughing fits due to his poor health.

History: Born and raised in California, Toshio was a sickly child whose health was not helped by the atmosphere which he lived in. Worried for his life, his parents (his mother Japanese and his father Caucasian) sent him to live with his grandparents in Japan after he had completed his sophomore year of high school. He would have to spend a year there as a sort of “experiment” to see if his health would improve. While Toshio protested, he realized that there might be no other alternative so, with a heavy heart, he packed his bags and moved to Kasaku, Japan.

While he is now starting his junior year of high school, Toshio is still experiencing culture shock as he struggles to become accustomed to the lifestyle he is forced to adapt. His grandparents are trying their best to help him: offering to teach him Japanese and even going so far as to give him a “fresh start” by stripping away his old American name and giving him the more Japanese originated one “Toshio”. None of this, however, can still change the fact that Toshio is purely a gajin. While he still struggles with the language, Toshio is now able to understand the minimum required to get through his daily life without any funny stares. It also helps that he looks like a native.

In the few months that he has been living with his grandparents, Toshio suddenly got a letter in the mail one day from a strange company. The letter told of how the company would pay for all of Toshio’s schooling if he was to live in a dorm that they themselves have funded. Toshio’s grandparents were very much against it, being the ones charged with Toshio’s health, and Toshio himself isn’t so sure if it’s a good idea. With their refusal, the company sent back a letter stating that the offer was still open and all Toshio had to do to join was to send back a letter of affirmation and show up at the dorm anytime before midterms started.

Other: Since his health records lead to failed physicals, Toshio has never been allowed to join any sports teams at all. However, this doesn’t stop him from playing outside of school teams. One of his favorite sports is tennis and although he’s slightly disappointed Shizuka Kaigan High doesn’t have a tennis team (they wouldn’t have let him join anyway), he still plans to find time to play after school. It was a stretch to convince his parents to let him become active in the sport but it’s now one of his favorite hobbies. He also enjoys writing and playing video games, a guilty pleasure of his. He doesn’t plan on joining any culture clubs since they don’t seem that interesting to him but he’s keeping an open mind to those that can convince him otherwise.

Persona: Momus
Arcana: Hermit

Persona Appearance: Momus wears a shining theater mask over his face, one half dark green with the other black, with a section cut over his left eye in the shape of a diamond to reveal his glaring eye. This makes it so his emotions are masked, his mouth and right eye concealed from others. His head is covered with a hood that is connected to a dark purple shawl that is tied around his neck and it rests over his shoulders with the two ends hanging behind him like a cape. A silver jumpsuit covers his body and dark black belts are tied around his torso and the midsections of his arms and legs. Black manacles are around his wrists and ankles with black chains hanging off them. His dark purple gloves have long wispy fingers that have the thinness of needles and his dark purple shoes have a pointed end that curls back somewhat.

Persona Type: Strategy oriented supporting magic user. Momus concentrates on weakening the foes while strengthening his self and supporting his allies.

Persona’s element: Strong against darkness and wind while weak against fire

Persona skills:

Shadow Clasp- Dark energy surrounds the enemy as Momus clenches his fingers into a fist. Causes mid level dark damage.

Ill Wind- With an effortless flick of his wrist, Momus summons a wind to cut into the enemy. Causes mid level wind damage.

Diarama- Heals most of an ally’s HP. (Didn’t know what else to call it…)

Maniacal Taunt- By relentlessly and madly scrutinizing, Momus can cause confusion on all enemies.

Aww...Namidaaaaaaa...~ ;_; If you find time after exams, I bet you could always come in as a mysterious foreign exchange student or somefink...

Also, I updated my first post with both profiles...

One last also...quick random lesson of randomness...If you for whatever reason want to make a list like I do...:

Code:

[list][*]Entry 1 [*]Entry 2 . . . [*]Entry X[/list]

Note that making a list automatically puts a carriage return after the text before the list, and one right after the list...Yay, learning...! Or being told something you know...!

@Isenet - I was surprised to find that the "list" function was built into the GUI here, but just in case you (or anyone else) didn't know, that formatting is also available on TSF - they just don't...'advertise' it.

Name: Shiraume Makoto
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Height: 6'0"
Grade: 12
Classroom #: 3C
Dorm Room: 1A
Preferred Weapon: Yumi (Japanese bow)
Appearance: PICTURE
Makoto has amber-colored eyes and silvery-white hair, and a slightly fair complexion. While physically strong, his height makes him look somewhat on the lean side (and people often tend to underestimate his strength). He dresses very conservatively, wearing a plain, forest green jacket with two zippered breast pockets, a skin-tight black t-shirt and black slacks and shoes.
Personality: Makoto has very few enemies, and while he doesn't have an especially outgoing personality, he is incredibly friendly with everyone he meets and can be kind to a fault at times. Still, there are very few people he would actually call 'friend,' as he knows most of his classmates are only friendly with him because he's always willing to lend a hand. Because of this, though he almost always wears a smile even in the darkest of situations, he can occasionally be found on a rooftop or gazing out a window at the sky, looking almost forlorn.
History: Makoto comes from a line of Shinto priests who have managed the Shiraume Shrine for centuries. According to tradition, as the firstborn son, it is Makoto's duty to become a Shinto priest himself and take over the shrine in the stead of his father. While he has certainly inherited the family's zeal for helping others, he feels shrines are becoming little more than ceremonial sites and talisman stores for the superstitious. Instead, he wants to become a psychologist and help people with their troubles that way, but this dream is hindered by the fact that his father refuses to pay for college.
Other: Makoto has been a member of the Shizuka Kaigan Student Council since his first year, as part of his desire to help others. Though he has been nominated for president in the past, he has always declined the nomination for fear he would be unable to make the difficult decisions that are sometimes necessary. He has worked closely with his homeroom teachers as well as the school's guidance councilor as a sort of substitute councilor for students who didn't feel comfortable confiding in an adult.
He is also the captain of the school's Kyūdō (Archery) Club.

Persona: Cybele
Arcana: The Lovers
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Cybele appears as a winged goddess with long blonde hair that reaches almost down to her knees at the back. She has dark green eyes, and a sky blue, spherical crystal imbedded in her forehead. A glowing gold halo appears over her head when first summoned or when casting a spell. She wears a long, dark violet, sleeveless dress covered partially (particularly around the torso) with armor of silver, black and gold. There are detached, violet sleeves over which bits of similar armor are worn, along with arm guards that seem to magically hover over her arms. She wields a long silver spear with shorter curved blades at either side of the spearhead, slightly detached but magically connected like her shoulder armor.
Persona Type: Cybele is primarily a healer, though she has a few physical attacks as well as Almighty spells.
Persona Element: Pierce
Persona Skill List:

• Phalanx - Cybele hardens Makoto's physical defense automatically in the beginning of battle.
  
• Potnia Theron - Cybele can scan the enemy to reveal weaknesses, though this takes time and she cannot attack or defend during this time.
  
• (learns later) Criobolium - A drop of blood falls from the tip of Cybele's spear and cleanses a single ally of all status ailments.
  
• Taurobolium - A blood rain comes down from the heavens and heals all allies with medium effect.
  
• (learns later) Magna Mater - Cybele resurrects or restores a single ally to full strength.
  
• (learns later) Pyrriche - Cybele pierces her opponent with her spear, dealing light physical damage with a chance of charming the stricken foe.
  
• Doratismos - Multiple, rapid attacks (3) with Cybele's spear, dealing light physical damage.
  
• (learns later) Phaeton - Cybele rains down heavenly light that deals medium almighty damage to all enemies.

Name: Renka 'Keikoku' Kirsa
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'9"
Grade: 11
Classroom #: 2F
Dorm Room: 4E
Preferred Weapon: Tanto
Appearance: PICTURE
Kirsa has very light blue-green eyes and similarly-colored long hair. She dresses casually in a loose-fitting white halter top with a black blazer over it (usually with the sleeves rolled up just shy of her elbows), tight, dark blue jeans with a white somewhat lacy belt, and dark brown leather boots that come a few inches short of her knees. She wears a thick black wristband with a thin red stripe in the middle on her left arm, and uses matching bands to keep her hair in twintails. She also wears two necklaces, one of average length and one really long one, with a ring and a cross hanging from them, respectively.
Personality: Kirsa is a firm believer in the "if you ain't livin', you're dyin'" school of life. She's very active and energetic, sometimes contagiously so, but she also tends to be reckless and impulsive. This and her tendency to be bluntly honest with people have given her a selfish and self-centered reputation. Though she doesn't like it, she fears the alternative of allowing herself to show concern and grow attached to others.
History: Kirsa is the daughter of a Japanese mother and a German father, and though she was born and raised in Japan, she grew up ostracized and is still occasionally treated as a gaijin. Her father never married her mother, and has since moved back to Germany, though he does send them more than enough money to live on and keeps in frequent contact with Kirsa, if not her mother - a sentiment she can share as she feels closer with him than she does with her. Still the physical difference between them and the emotional distance between Kirsa and her mother have left her fiercely independent.
Other: Kirsa is the lead guitarist/vocalist in the popular J-Rock band called "Flame Bang Riot," under the pseudonym of "Keikoku," and has achieved a lot of fame as a result, though she rarely ever indulges in her celebrity. Still, between her father's stipends and her own income, she is considerably wealthy. She drives her own car, a silver Mercedes C63 AMG Black, which she uses to compete in local Gymkhana competitions.

Persona: Lorelei
Arcana: Hierophant
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Lorelei appears as a almost lizardlike humanoid with shoulder-length white hair and eyebrows the only hair on her body - her skin is actually composed of very fine scales. Her coloring is very distinctive: dark grey for the most part, with a very light grey 'underbelly' that runs up to and over her nose and mouth but stops short of her pitch black eyes. There are strange, black, arrow-like markings that segment her tail in six, and also appear on her arms and legs, one above and below each elbow and the same for the knees, and one on each of her long ears. She is scantily clad in a black and white patterned tube-top bikini, and wields a strange scythe whose blade seems to be composed of magically static water.
Persona Type: Lorelei acts as a buffer/debuffer, using her songs to strengthen allies or hinder opponents, though she can also attack with her scythe.
Persona Element: technically water, but for the purposes of strengths and weaknesses, ice; also slashing.
Persona Skill List:

• Call of the Siren - Lorelei's song has a chance of charming all enemies.
  
• Dirge of the Mariner - Lorelei's song has a chance of inflicting fear and/or distress on all enemies.
  
• Battle Hymn - Lorelei's song raises the attack of all allies and lowers the defense of all enemies.
  
• Harvest Scything - Lorelei swings her scythe in a wide arc, dealing light physical damage to all enemies.
  
• (learns later) The Faithfull’s Lament - Lorelei focuses her attack to attempt to behead an enemy with her scythe - deals heavy damage to a single enemy with a small chance of instant death.

Name: Atsuko Kazumi
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5'7"
Grade: 12
Classroom #: 3C
Dorm Room: 4A
Preferred Weapon: Pistol
Appearance: PICTURE
Kazumi has short, raven black hair and dark blue eyes. She dresses very plainly in a tight-fitting light grey tanktop, equally tight black jeans and black hiking boots. She wears no jewelry or accessories that indicate any sort of personality, and though the discrepancy between her age and grade make it obvious that she's very intelligent, her taut abs and well-toned muscles hint that there's more to her than just school.
Personality: Kazumi has been to many different schools and has always alienated everyone from her within the first few days of her transferring. She is incredibly cold to most everyone she meets and only slightly less cold to those few who manage to earn her respect. Most people attribute her attitude to her intelligence and believe she thinks she's too good for everyone else. She thus has a reputation of being haughty and completely heartless, and she does nothing to refute this, though the truth is something far different.
History: Kazumi is, according to her parents and many people who are too well paid to think otherwise, an Indigo Child. As an Indigo Child, she was always both intelligent and wise for her age, and she had unusually strong empathic connections to those around her. These empathic connections only grew stronger with age, and she was forced to learn techniques for emotional detachment, or 'shielding.' For most of her childhood she was taught by private teachers specially trained to handle the needs of Indigo Children, until she eventually insisted on being placed into the public school system. Unfortunately, her shielding made it nearly impossible for her to fit in, and she found herself changing from school to school in search of...something. Finally, she came to Shizuka Kaigan High School. Here, though she still had difficulty fitting in, she was recognized for her intelligence and ability to face difficult problems with cold, unflinching logic and was nominated president of the Student Council.

Persona: Theseus
Arcana: Strength
Persona Appearance: PICTURE
Theseus has the appearance of an Adonis: large, rippling muscles and perfect physique, though in keeping with the legends, he has unusually lean thighs by comparison to the rest of him. He wears a bronze, feathered helmet, bronze bracers and greaves and a blood red cape and matching cloth tied around his waist.
Persona Type: Theseus is a raw attacker, doling out lots of physical damage in all elements.
Persona Element: Physical attacks; weakness in Darkness
Persona Skill List:

• Periphetes Staff - Theseus deals light physical damage and light earth damage using a staff.
  
• (learns later) Hecale's Oath - Theseus deals a rapid series of light physical damage punches.
  
• Spear Head - Theseus uses his bronze spear to deal medium physical damage to an opponent.
  
• (learns later) Rapid Thrust - Theseus deals a rapid light physical damage attacks to an opponent.
  
• Slash - Theseus deals medium physical damage with his sword.
  
• (learns later) Roundhouse - Theseus deals light physical damage to all with his sword.
  
• Art of War - Theseus boosts all physical attack damage for and reduces all physical damage against Kazumi.

Name: Kotone Ito
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5’2
Grade: Year 1
Classroom: 1-A
Dorm Room: 3B
Preferred Weapon: Kodachi
Appearance: Kotone has straight brown hair that just brushes the tops of her shoulders; often jazzed up with a variety of headbands/scarfs/other hair accessories, and very dark eyes. When not in school attire, she likes to keep up with the latest cute 'n casual fashion trends of the season, her wallet permitting. She also has a weakness for jewelery: the cheap, colorful kinds one might find at a bazaar or on a wall in a girl's clothing store. She never leaves her room without a pair of earrings and a necklace on.
Personality: Kotone has a wild and, according to her family's opinion, disturbing and morbid imagination. She paints gruesome scenes of death and general pandemonium and often makes up chilling stories to go with her pictures. Despite her creative tendency towards the macabre, her peers and teachers see her as genuinely nice and intelligent, though extremely spacey. It often takes several tries for someone to get her attention, as she is either lost in thought or dozing in the back of the class. Very rarely is she seen with her head not in the clouds, usually focusing when she does her homework or practices with her kodachi, but she does her work in her dorm and tries to trains in secluded areas, away from prying eyes. Kotone may be friendly, but she isn't very open with others, and doesn't strive to make friends. She lets people pass her by or stick with her, and very few can truly say that they know her.
History: Kotone is the youngest in her family with three older brothers, and the only artsy type of person in the old Ito tradition of calculating scientists/professors/mathematicians. She was raised mostly by her protective brothers. Her parents, despairing at her average grades in mathematics and science throughout her school years, were distant and awkward with her, unable to carry conversations with her and frankly seeing her as something of an oddity. When she showed no signs of letting go of her strange fascination to depict the dark and ugly, her parents, fretting that artists make no money and quietly worried about her mental health, sent her off to Shizuka Kaigan for her high school years. The Ito family was a wealthy family, and have had several family members attend the prestigious community. There, Mr. and Mrs. Ito hoped that their daughter would be influenced to finally carry on the Ito role of dealing with the cold hard facts of the world instead of floating around in her made up la-la land. To this end, they secretly wrote a letter to Dreamtime, requesting that Kotone be a part of their sleep studies. Perhaps the scientists in such an organization can figure her out. Kotone accepted her parents' plan with a shrug. She was mildly excited to go to Shizuka Kaigan. She heard their art classes were top notch and that they even offered creative writing. So she packed her bags without a fuss, expecting to enjoy her time at high school while even further deviating from her family's line of professions.
Other: Kotone has trained with a kodachi as part of her self defense ninjutsu classes for years, but since S.K. doesn't offer such a class or club, she took up kendo instead and can only go to her ninjutsu classes when she goes back home for school holidays and breaks. She is also a member of the art club and works part time at a smoothies join in Atsumari Mall. She also visits Akushoku Mall despite its bad rep, mainly for its arts and crafts store.

I forgot my current position in the dorms so I might have to wait until the other site is back up before posting.

So mysterious and I don't think I want the Wild Card XD But I will be a random transfer student that comes in the middle of everything. Speaking of Wild Cards, I think Koro should join this :'D I'll try and rope him in but he is like the irl MC mute and everything O: it is kind of funny how he beat P3/P4 a lot of times. So I'll see if I can get him to join or something.

I am finding it really difficult to come up with something.

Hey, Dark...if you can, do you think that you can post your entire profile again...? It might help if the TSF remains down for a long(er) period of time...

Also, I just got P4 today (hurrah!), so I might not be on 8 hrs. a day as I usually am...But don't worry, I should be around often enough...=P

And I'd like to leave this post with a few words...:
"C-critical hit to the nads!"
"PAIN in the ASS!"

Man, the way that latter one is said just cracks me up during the battle...XD
