actually i changed my mind, i rather have a "Persona" like Anime life

I'm already designing my OC and his Persona i'll post their pics when their done.

Already done that.

The theme is existence and the cycles of nature. Who we are shapes what we do which shapes what we experience which shapes who we are.

Name: Masaru Chiba(M C, Main Character)
Personas: Andjehty(Fool), Osiris(Death, Andjehty + Ma'at + Ammut), Amun-Ra(World, Belphegor + Eligor + Belial + Osiris + Rangda + Norn + Andjehty + Matador + Uroboros + Nandi + Red Rider + Apis)(BE BORN AMUN-RA)
Weapon: Flails
Backstory: Born missing the parts of his brain that converted short-term memory to long term, until the age of 16 he lived entirely in the present.(Actual condition, can't remember the exact details). He created himself an external memory, using a camera to take pictures of things such as his parent, important people and things he liked, with a huge wall of memories with all these pictures stuck to it. However, one day at age 16, he woke up, and the wall was gone, replaced with what looked distinctly like bite marks. More importantly however...he could remember the day before. He remembered seeing a mysterious bird which he wanted a picture of. He followed the bird, and when he caught up to it, much to his surprise, it had no head. And where it had landed, there was a weird gates. He reached out to touch it. There was a flash of...black light? He knew there was no way it could be, yet this was the only description. A voice echoed in his mind. 'Let me guide you to a new beginning...'

He remembered more. That night, he had a dream. He was in a room with a girl and a weird old man in a chair. In fact, it wasn't a room. It was a gallery. Filled with frames. Empty frames. The man spoke.
'Greeetings. My name is Igor, and this is my assistant, Anne,'
'Charmed, I'm sure.' She was a mysterious girl. Her long, silver blonde hair was wrapped into two curls, and she was slightly younger than Masaru. She clutched a large book to her chest, and was dressed in a blue one piece. Her eyes were an odd golden yellow. The man spoke up again, Masaru's camera appearing in his hands.
'Such...fascinating devices you humans have. An external memory. With a simple click, one memory, forever preserved. Well, as long as something physical can last. And these modern ones, who can store thousands of memories inside them. Yet it always puzzles me why humans seek to do what they already can. Of course, maybe it is for individuals like you. Like you were. I wonder, just what 'photographs' you will take with your newfound 'camera', hmm? Simply sign the contract, and I can store these 'photographs' in my...gallery for you.'
He signed the contract.
'Excellent. Now then, this is far from the correct time for us to continue this discussion. I eagerly await your return, surely carrying numerous photographs to display...'

Masaru got out of bed. The wall was blank now. Had the bite marks been an illusion? He went about his daily routine. His mother went upstairs to put his cleaned clothes away, and came down fighting back tears.

'You...know who I am, right?'
'Yeah. Hey mom. Hey dad.'

She collapsed in tears, and even his father, normally a stern man, welled up. Their son had finally, truly begun his life.


As well as other things.







The rest of the story continues as usual, he meets various people, and discovers that people seem to slowly be disappearing from existence, even from photographs. The characters summon their Persona using 'mementos', which serve as a proof of existence, a reminder of who they are, and that they are here. Masaru uses his camera, and can change Persona by scrolling through the pictures stored on it. With Masaru as an exception, when their Persona evolves, they change memento. The other characters so far are(I use their Arcana since I haven't named them. I suck at Japanese names) :-

Hierophant: A closet bisexual. Has a great deal of trouble with suspension of disbelief. Ultimate Persona: Thoth(As both his God of Knowledge/Ibis form and God of the Moon/Baboon form simultaneously.) Final memento: Watch. Weapon: Books. Speciality: Spell caster of the Ice element. Also good at Buffs and Debuffs.
Lovers: A rowdy 'yankee' girl. Her mother died of a genetic disorder shortly after she was born. Has trouble understanding the worth of forming connections with people when they don't last. Ultimate Persona: Isis(As the final combination of all the goddesses who became an aspect of her, including Hathor, Wadjat and Serkhet). Final memento: Locket with a photo of her mum, her dad and her on one side, and one of her and Masaru on the other. Weapon: Gauntlets. Speciality: Spell caster of all elements. Also healing.
Devil: A materialistic, scheming, conman teen. Has a stepsister who he just can't see as his sister. Ultimate Persona: Seth(As protector of Amun-Ra). Final memento: Crucifix his stepsister bought him. Weapon: Axes. Speciality: Fire spells and Dark element insta kills. Also some Almighty.
Empress: Masaru's mother. Always worried about what her son gets up to, now he has a memory. Ultimate Persona: Wadjat(As the Eye). Final memento: The glasses Masaru bought her. Weapon: None. Speciality: Support.
Emperor: Masaru's father. Often busy with work as the school's headmaster, though now trying his hardest to truly bond with his son. Ultimate Persona: Anubis(as 'Ruler Of The Nine Bows', rather than his more well known role as the God of Embalming) Final memento: A ring Masaru bought him. Weapon: Sword and Shield. Speciality: Physical skills, notably what would be Pierce based in P3(Ie: Skewer, Myriad Arrows, Primal Force etc.). Also revival spells and Light insta-kills.)
Sun: A falcon called Sunspot by the group. Was found injured in Masaru's garden. Has a white spot on his forehead, hence the name. Once belonged to a zoo, since it wore a ring round it's ankle. However, it had grown too attached to humans and had trouble adapting to the wild. Eventually officially taken in by the Chiba family(ie: They got a license to own a falcon.) Started wearing a ribbon later on. Ultimate Persona: Horus(As the son of Osiris) Final memento: The ribbon. Weapon: Beak and claws. Speciality: Fire spells, Light attribute Insta-kills, gets some blade based physical skills.

Still working on one more character.

Each 'ultimate' Persona has a signature skill.
Osiris: Heart Judgement: Massive Ice Damage, Light and Dark insta Kill chance, all foes.
Thoth: Book Of The Dead: Massive Almighty Damage, all debuffs, all foes.
Isis: Rainbow Blessing: Full healing, all buffs, all allies.
Seth: Winds Of Chaos: Massive Almighty Damage, Dark Based Insta Kill effect, all foes.
Wadjat: Wadjat's Venom: Massive Almighty Damage, Single Target, takes 3 turns to charge.
Anubis: Nine Bows: Small Physical based Almighty Damage, Random Target, always hits 9 times.
Horus: Son's Reign: Massive Fire Damage, Light Based Insta Kill effect, all foes
Amun-Ra:-
His skill set is basically 'original' names for existing skills:-
New Day: Scripted move, only appears in one battle.
Sun's Warmth: Salvation
God's Fury: Hassou Tobi
Sun's Ferocity: Morning Star
Divine Strike: Black Viper
Flail Master: *weapon* Master from P3.


Eventually it all boils down to it turning out Masaru's Persona/Shadow isn't Andjehty/Osiris, Andjehty/Osiris is a free Shadow who took on the blank slate Masaru as a host, allowing him to 'become', completing him(in Egyptian belief, there were five parts to existence, the akh(soul, born from the unity of ba and ka), the ba(mind), the ka(spirit), the name and The Shadow. In Masaru's case, his 'condition'(memory) created a Shadow who evolved from a simple manifestation to it's own being by absorbing the memories Masaru lost. After Masaru gained the ability to remember, it left him, and started devouring the existence of others, reducing them to Shadows by erasing their 'Name'(the physical proof they exist), then their ba, ka and akh. It became Apophis, The Devourer Of All.

So basically, the reason people are ceasing to exist is because Masaru does.


I should mention, the memento stores the ba, then when a person opens up to their ka, the two merge into the akh and take a new memento, the process of which causes their Persona to evolve.

Amun-Ra is originally born from everyone merging their Personas together, so his true fusion is Osiris + Isis + Horus + Seth + Thoth + Wadjat + Anubis + *uncreated character's Persona*. The fusion I gave was for when he is unlocked as a bonus, as if it were in-game.

All the Personas feature an element to their design which represents their memento. Osiris is wrapped in film negatives, Seth wears his Ankh like a crucifix, Wadjat appears as something similar to a pair of glasses, Horus wears a ribbon etc.

Also, I tried my hardest to 'MegaTen' 'em. Thoth appears as a humanoid statue with both the baboon head and Ibis head back to back, rotating between the two based off the spell used, Horus is an F-15 Falcon fighter jet with a falcon design to it, rather than bows and arrows Anubis has 9 tank turrets, Seth looks like the lovechild of Megaten Seth, Darth Vader and Lord Zedd from Power Rangers etc.

Tbh, it's a work in progress, but I've got the bulk of the main plot down, as with the characters I have designed. I still need to do the initial Personas for most characters(aside from Hierophant(Panishi) and Sun(Benu) I haven't come up with any.) and come up with the last character.

I've also designed Apophis. Giant snake made of darkness, covered with photographs which flow across it's surface. Instead of eyes it has more, smaller snakes emerging from it's eye sockets. however, in it's mouth is a giant eye made up of an amalgamation of loads of smaller eyes.

um.... so? doesn't mean I can't do one... greedy ass my OC's name is Satosu Ryuuya (last/first)

if only an IRL simulation device made solely for this topic was actually created.. then my life would actually be worth all the work I do =_='

If my life were an anime I would totally be the awesome mech pilot who also happens to be able to throw a punch in real life. There would be blood and villains galore! Also I think there would be a girl who adores me and I have no idea, and at the end we'd be together.

If ym life would be a anime I would not be the main character. A good friend of mine Devilkingbaal would be the main character. I would be the mysterious character like Bakura from yugioh or Endrance, etc

Looks like I might actually end up as a main character since I had to save someone today! A girl was out cold behind the wheel of her car, stopped at a light. I followed her after waking her up to make sure she got home okay, then helped her with her groceries. Didn't get a name or number though.

I would be the mysterious character like Bakura from yugioh or Endrance, etc

Bakura: "Hmm, that's strange. My gaydar is picking up abnormal signs of gayness."

Yu-Gi-Oh abridged would be my anime life. xD

I love that series!
I lol'd at the fact that Marik only takes control of those who have the name steve.
Tea steve gardner?
And Mr. Tweetums.
Swordsman of landstar! Thats the most powerful monster in duel monsters XD

Hmm. I changed my mind as well! If mah life were an anime, I would be like House except It'd be in an all girl's school. That would be interesting. I'd have the same personality as house and everything. Except I wouldn't be an atheist/agnostic. I'd be chrisitian like I am now. To make things better I wouldn't be 30-40 like house is, I'd be 21. That could produce some interesting cases. Maybe a few dates out of em. lol. A doctor house type anime but with a younger house would be cool!

It would be a lot like Genshiken, but with random Gintama-like events.

Hey Azalan, just curious about your signature. I know the girl on the left is the Major from Ghost in the Shell, but who is the girl on the right?

....Please, don't tell me you're serious on your question...

But then you'd lose a lot of what makes House, House.=P

I guess my life would be the boy version of Azumanga daioh

My life's already a male version of Lucky Star so I thought maybe if more random stuff happened, life would be more interesting, and with GIANT ROBOTS!

I'd want my anime life to be like Natsume Yujjinchou.

I want to be able to see demons and talk to them. It would be cool to be able to summon demons out of a book and have them obey you. Only problem though I don't think I could take amost being killed all the time and having weird friends family that are annoying. But, maybe my life would be like some soccer anime at the same time...

My life would have to involve me living a pretty suckish life, until the new guy comes. He would be super serious and blow off anyone who tried to talk to him. By some miracle, I would be allowed to talk to him, and my life would change forever...

I'm actually writing a little story about this, and I might just post a little of it on here...

Mine would be one of those where you have a world-spanning empire ruled by a benevolent, but nevertheless intimidating leader who looks like he's only 22 years old for some reason. And this empire has outlawed all forms of magic and fights constantly to stamp out witches and wizards.
