Death Sight: Activate!

[ognesperanza]

okay so it's not exactly a 'sight' but. HI ARE YOU DEAD/HAVE BEEN DEAD/DIED IN CAMP/DEATH IS YOUR FATHER???? Nico can sense anything death-related to the soul etc. so… I just need to know so Nico can properly glare at you once he picks it up. you're messing up the order of things stop it

He can only sense mortal souls, but it's up to you if this only pertains to human souls or not. MORTAL NON-HUMANS WHAT IS GOING ON It'd confuse Nico, that's for sure! If you don't want Nico sensing these things with your character COMMENT TOO it's cool

tl;dr if you're dead or have died or have deathsoul things or the grim reaper resides in your eyeballs, whispers come to me

wow, that is super confusing. it's cool that you can keep all that straight, though. i won't have Nico sense Ares, then.

and wow, that is...a lot of Personas from a lot of different mythologies. i'm just picturing him keeping them all in pokeballs. and DRAGONS!!!!

clearly we need to bond with both my boys.

They're all in his head.

He summons them by shooting himself in the head.

(Also I have an intro post running if you them want to meet him.)

[ognesperanza]

yeah, i remember that being mentioned. literally in his head though, now the shooting himself in the head thing makes sense.

ohhh oh, so you do! that's a hilarious intro, hahaha. i'll have to jump on that.

Personas are manifestations of the psyche and are drawn from the Collective Unconscious of humanity. In Persona, gods and demons are given shape through human will. Erebus, for instance, is the manifestation of humanity's combined malice and despair, and most gods reside within the Collective Unconscious, so they're probably quite a bit different from the gods in the Percy Jackson series.

[ognesperanza]

oh yeah, definitely. the gods are affected by the spirit of Western Civilization, and pop culture in general. but they're still very much their own beings. many of them existed before humanity, and most of them will continue to exist.

how Persona does it is a pretty cool idea, though. are these DS games?

Persona 3 is for the Playstation 2, and there's an updated re-release on the same system called Persona 3 FES.

There's also a port on the PSP called Persona 3 Portable.

The first Persona received a rather shoddy localization and was released on the SNES and Playstation. There was an improved re-release on the PSP.

Persona 2 is technically two games, Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Both were released for the Playstation and later re-released on the PSP. Only localizations for the PSP version of Innocent Sin and the PSOne version of Eternal Punishment exist, though there's a fan-translation for Innocent Sin's PSOne version on the internet.

Persona 4 was originally released for the PS2, and an updated re-release exists on the PS Vita.
