Korogaiku's news.
Okay, there's been a bit of cleanup. Any accounts over four weeks idle are now marked inactive, and without good reason, they cannot be reclaimed. Regular checks like this will be taking place as often as necessary, and while logging in is annoying at times, you still do need to actually comment or make journals. I will be checking that, as well. If you haven't noticed yet, too, I've made a very simple, obvious observation in the OOC chat that might very well help contribute to activity.

Something's really got to be done, people, and I'm tired of receiving notes and messenger comments asking when so-and-so will be kicked for inactivity. I mean, seriously, I understand your schedules, and it's hard not to. But you can surely check once or twice a month, can't you?

I have the winners for the previous segment of our contest, but I have something to say. I understand full well that school has kicked in and there are people who have not had time to get on the computer. But unless there is more activity in this role-play group, then our contest is going to be canceled and this group will be closed down. If you do not want this, then I suggest that everyone starts doing SOMETHING in this group, whether it be role-playing through comments, going in the chatroom, SOMETHING!

Please guys... I honestly do not want to shut this group down, but if nothing occurs soon, then Korogaiku and I will have no choice.

Annual Contest
Goal of the Contest

This week we ran into a question that triggered this contest. We were asked, "If a Persona 5 is made, what would it be about? What would the characters look like?" Etc.etc. And of course, the question asker as well as myself and ~Korogaiku have decided to make a contest out of it. That's right! We are going to create what WE think Persona 5 will be about.

There are a total of 11 Categories that you can participate in, but there is a catch! We are now on the second Category, but to unlock the next group of categories we must reach a certain amount of entries! With that in mind, here is the second Category in question!

Here are our winners for the Character Creating segment of the Persona 5 Contest.

RULES
Registration Process

1. Choose a character from the list (check this account's ID), find one from the wiki, or create your own.
2. Note this account with a fully completed copy of the application found below, with a title that declares it an application (such as "Application: Kanji Tatsumi" or "Application for Minato Arisato") to help us order the notes.

a) Who do you want to role-play as?
b) Is there a reason for choosing this character? Why?
c) Describe to me their personality. If you copy this from a site or otherwise, we will find out, and you will be rejected.
d) Show us a sample of how you would role-play this character. Show dialogue as well as written description. If you script role-play or write in some other method, showcase a bit of that, too.
e) How many times a week do you think you can check your comments? Be honest.
f) Do you agree with our rules?
g) If you have any ideas for how you want to play this character, write them here.

3. Wait for a response from us. If you create an account before submission or before we accept your application, you will be rejected straight-out, regardless of your prowess.
4. Once you have been accepted, create your account, take care of whatever business you may have to do, and alert us either by note or commenting on the main page that you're set up.
5. Create an introductory journal. Anonymity is your choice entirely; you can choose to state your main account or leave it for us to wonder about.
6. After all is said and done, you'll then be added to the Members List. Make sure you add all your other roleplayers, so we can keep track of what's going on with everyone!

--------------------

General Rules Break any of these, and you will be removed from the role-play. Period.

1. Respect everyone. We're all here for the same reasons and we will all be treated equally, regardless of capabilities, talents, or otherwise. If you refuse to acknowledge this, you be forced from the role-play.
2. Romance is acceptable to a degree. The characters are, primarily, teenagers. As such, marriage, children, and anything of the sort is absolutely forbidden. If you really must write out something mature for who-knows-what-reason, take it to a messenger or notes, no questions asked.
3. No harrassment will be allowed, period. The staff requests that everyone work to prevent this and help remove those who do not seem to grasp this via screenshot or some other proof sent to the staff.
4. Do your best! We're not asking you to be perfect; we want everyone to have fun. We're all going to help each other improve, whether you realize it or not, so make the best of it!
5. Be active. If you don't log into your account for over a week, you will be put on watch. After two weeks, your account will be terminated from this role-play and your spot will be available for another to take. If you can prove your activity otherwise, save a sample and show us.
6. If you need to leave for a period of time (vacation, grounding, moving, etc.) make a journal alerting us what's going on and how long it may last. If you're not sure, simply say so and we'll look forward to your return.

Canon Characters

1. Stay in character to the best of your abilities. This makes it easier for people to interact with you, and it also adds layers, life, and emphasis to your character.
2.As said above, romance is allowed to an extent. Marriage and children are outright banned from the role-play. Sex will not be tolerated on the chats. Take it to a messenger or notes. Those who break this rule will be removed from the role-play, no questions asked.
3. Feel free to cross games! Minato isn't just restricted to talking to his teammates. See how he'd react with Tatsuya, or even Yosuke. It's a fun challenge I'd like to see everyone undertake. That way, no one ever has to be limited with what they can do with others.
4. Be creative. Just because your character has a personality doesn't mean there aren't other sides to is. After all, that's what the Social Links are for! For example, did you know that bullet-shaped locket Kanji has contains a picture of a kitten? See what you can do!
5. For canons, I will only allow three characters at a time for now. Thanks to the Social Links, the Persona series has quite a huge arsenal of canons, and I really don't think we'll get that many people just yet. Later, when more members become available, I'll limit the amount for new members.
6. Keep your activity visible so we know you're actually alive.

Original Characters

1. Immediate relationships are not allowed. Just like in real life, you cannot just immediately assume your character knows someone. Work on it and get to know people! Translated, this means that you can not apply for a character saying that they know a canon character, are in a relationship with a canon character, or are related to a canon character. Other original characters that do not belong to you need to have all this confirmed by their role-player.
2. Give your characters flaws. I don't know what sort of world you were raised in, but where we come from, no one is perfect. For the love of this role-play, give them flaws or you will be terminated from this group.
3. Obsessive worship is unhealthy. Show that you think with your brain and you won't be sprayed with something nasty, since I refuse to deal with loud fangirling/fanboying.
4. As we know nothing about original characters, you'll have to work twice as hard to show us how your character acts. Make sure you submit an introductory journal, interact with as many people as possible, etc. We all know Aigis, but no one but you knows your "Mary Jane."
5. If your application is declined, do not bother the staff about it. You can improve and send your application a total of two times (meaning three total submissions) before you will be told to move on.
6. As opposed to a limit on canon characters, there isn't a limit as to how many original characters you can have. So long as you can handle them all and fill all these rules above, you're welcome to as many as you want.

Please, if you are applying for these characters, check with us first to see if we have the password for the account. If we do not, then you will be allowed and directed to make a new account for it. We want to keep the clutter minimized, so we will be asking for every given-up account to put a temporary password to it so as to accomplish this.
