PERSONA
EMPYREAN
This is a fan concept. In no way is this associated with ATLUS or the Megami Tensei series.
Persona Empyrean is a RP story that includes the elements of Persona with mainline Shin Megami Tensei, with one of the main feature here is that the cast are all adults, and there will be choices that affects the Alignments.
In 202X, there has been an increase in the overall population in Japan. The new citizens have no sort of background on them. No history, no memories, no official documentations. They're Demons in disguise but only a handful of people know of them in the middle of the streets. As those handful of people came in contact with a mysterious watch, they discovered they've not only have unlocked the hidden breakthrough inside but also, the ability to solve the recent phenomenon of Demons manifesting in the real world.
The Colors of Persona Empyrean
Due to the nature of Persona Empyrean being a take on Persona X Shin Megami Tensei, there are three colors in place instead of one.
RED: The color of the extremes. It's full of life and energy, not bound to any sort of control, all of the vices of seduction, anger, violence, danger, adventure and anger. It represents the color of Chaos, along with Black in the mainline games.
BLUE: The color of authority and heaven. It represents many things like calm, loyalty and peace but it can also represent dependability, cold and 'the evil eye'. It is the color of the Law faction, paired with White.
GRAY/GREY: It's the color of balance and neutrality, a mix of black and white of the Yin and Yang. The color has been used in many brands and products that appeal to the majority. However, it also carries the meaning of dullness an depression, due to it lacking any sort of hues from the other colors.
Location: Kyoto, Japan.
- Kita-ku
- Fushimi-ku
- Ukyou-ku
- Sakyo-ku
- Yamashina-ku
Time period: 202X, January.
The Persona users here, like Persona 1 and 2 can have multiple Personae, with 3 being the most common number. However, they can only summon those in their Primary and Secondary Arcana. Personae here also have Affinity, meaning that if it learns a Spell that fits its nature, then the effect of that spell will become more effective or more efficient like in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.
Taken a bit of inspiration from Persona 1 and 2, the Persona users here channel their inner psyche to summon their Persona. However, like Persona 5, they would feel physical pain as the Personae would sprout out from their back, with their own facing towards them while covered in blood, mirroring their user that they're the other part of them. They can also summon their Personae in the real world but it would exhaust them heavily.
THE STAIR WELL
The Stair Well is Persona Empyrean's 'Shadow World'. It is an alternate dimension that comprises of five different realms, with all of them representing the dark side of humanity. Every entry into the realms will be different but their scenery remains the same.
- Ara Realm. Represents the beginning of the world, with it resembling the outer world of Kyoto, Japan but is filled with Demons and Shadows instead of humans.
- Bootes Realm: Represents the authoritarian and totalitarian nature of humanity. Everywhere looks the same and the Demons are all Law-aligned. Security has gone off the absolute limits and personal privacy is no longer a thing.
- Corvus Realm: Represents the rampant nature of humanity. The city of Kyoto has become lawless and arsons, thievery, conflicts are everywhere but in turn, those who are stron enough can do whatever they please. All the Demons are Chaos-aligned.
- Draco Realm: Represents the balanced nature of humanity. Kyoto no longer stands as it has been decimated by a storm of missiles but, it still houses many of its survivors clinging to it. The Demons here are Neutral-aligned.
- Equuleus Realm: An amalgamation of all of the previous realms. The city of Kyoto is now back to normal but has been split by the battle of Law and Chaos, with a gray beam peaking at the middle, representing Neutral.
THE VELVET ROOM
The Velvet Room for Empyrean is the basic, barebones version of it, where like Persona 1 and 2, didn't change to the Fool's Journey. However, there are now seats to accompany the guests and more will appear as they gain access to the Velvet Room.
Igor will be the main contract as he handles the Fusion and Compendium for the group.
