`BATTLE GUIDE

[NOWAKI.]

THE CONCEPTS
( personalized outlook. )

this is our rendition behind persona-shadow & human relations since p3 is extremely vague when describing to players. please note that suggested below are flimsy guidelines, not to be followed to the dot.

for further inquiries or suggestions please feel free to pm.

SUMMONING & MANIFESTATION
( your persona. )

   personas are summoned using evokers; to do so without a medium is extremely difficult and taxing, but not impossible. the urge to call it out can be quenched via suppressant but it causes stress, violent fits, fatigue, and other side-effects, sometimes leading to death.

   personas have apparition-like forms; they have a physical body that can touch other personas and inanimate objects but pass through humans like ghosts.

   since personas are a part of one’s “soul” it can be given a solid body via machinery & experimentation, usually resulting in death. this is nocturne’s forte but they are nowhere close to making anything solid at all.

MIDNIGHT TERROR
( shadows. )

   shadows, as described in terminology, are: unawakened personas, personas and their dead partners, or dark hour victims (ie. potentials, civilians, persona-users, etc). they are created and fed by negative feelings such as jealousy, hatred, regret, and anger.

   since shadows were born of the dark hour their existence is somewhat one-sided; they have a physical manifestation due to their ‘humanity’ (human souls, human regrets, dead bodies) and an apparition manifestation as part-lost/dead-personas thus enabling attacks dealt by humans and personas to make contact.

HOW TO FIGHT
( encounters. )

   attacks dealt by shadows, whether physical or magical, actually hit. this entails punches, kicks, and low-level elementals like agi, bufu, garu resulting in minor scratches, burns, cold hands, etc.

   major physical/magical attacks such as tempest slash, bufudyne, instant-death, or almighty-based skills on the other hand are dealt psychologically -- targets feel phantom pains & shocks from the attacks, whether dealt on his/her person or persona.

   in relation, all persona attacks toward humans deal damage via phantom pains/nerve shocks to his/her person. this is true for persona-to-persona attacks since users and their personas are linked as “reflections”.

   all persona-to-shadow attacks hit full force; hama skills may kills a shadow (it’s a 50/50 attack), an almighty will deal heavy damage, and vorpal blade will probably slice weak shadows to bits just to name a few.
