The game is getting pretty huge, and it's plot-heavy to boot. There's plenty of opportunity to meet other characters in the event or mingle logs, but what about the rest of the time? Surely there are characters who trip over each other once a week just because they visit the same grocery store, or characters who haunt the same places because they have the same hobbies. So, here are some questions to help you sort out what we're all up to when there aren't any giant mythical beings attempting to stomp the city flat, and how our characters might be attracting one another's attention from day to day. It may be that some of us need only a little push to fall into each other's fictional pretendy funtime arms.

1) Notable physical features: (Is there anything about your character's appearance that is likely to draw attention? Weird hair? Sword bigger than they are? Constantly wearing armor? Conga line of Pokemon following them down the street?)

2) Age: (Child? Grownup? Teenager? Ageless being with startlingly young features?)

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: (Do they leave trails of flowers in their wake everywhere they go, or are they prone to causing small thunderstorms in public?)

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: (Are they in the apartments in the standard residential area? Have they found a shifty hidey-hole for themselves in the slums, or have they moved into another neighborhood to live amongst the rich people? Who are their roommates?)

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: (Stay home, do chores, read, meet up with people, have a lot of feelings okaaaaaay, so on.)

6) Their general sense of fashion: (What they tend to wear when they're not wearing their usual canon getups.)

7) Hobbies: (Does your character like to draw? If so, maybe they cross paths with this other person who likes to draw in one of the local art stores. If they are a fighter, maybe other characters have seen them around the training grounds.)

8) Jobs: (Are they a clerk in a shop other characters might have reason to visit? Are they part of the waitstaff in a restaurant other characters might frequent? Do they deliver all over town, and meet up with several store owners?)

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?:

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: (Do they hate it or want to stay? Are they invested in whatever's going on around them, or do they try not to get involved? How do they interact with the new folks?)

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?:

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: (Are they articulate over the amulets, but hesitant and shy in person? Do they hate the amulets and avoid using them? Do they prefer image, voice, or text?)

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?:

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?:

16) Anything else you want to note?:

1) Notable physical features: BLUE HAIR. GOTTA HAVE BLUE HAIR. It's about as natural as blue raspberries and he has to dye it to keep it that color. He has silver necklaces and rings, one with a giant pair of lips for some reason.

Dark red eyes, whitened face with black mascara around his eyes, black lipstick and black nails.

He's also very tall (for Japan anyway) standing at 185cm and thin. It's kinda hard to ignore him when he's around with the hair, face and clothing crashing against itself.

2) Age: 16 years old

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: Usually sunshine and flowers because for the most part he's pretty happy and likes to give a little bit of happiness to others when he can. If he gets serious, the wind begins to blow (if he can, sometimes there are petals. He loves the dramatic effect).

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: He lives in a little apartment with what money he can come up with. It's not that great, but has working water and enough place for him to stick all of his makeup so he's satisfied. Plus he lived in Japan so small locations are the norm. Maybe one day he'll move with other people.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens: Cleans up his place, puts on makeup (surprisingly fast, he's become good at it over the years) and then goes around and see who he can help out / what can be done / how he can do things without hopefully not messing to many things. He will take time out in the middle of the day to find an area where he can sit down and draw people to practice his art skills and have a bite to eat, then continue more on the same until the evening.

6) Their general sense of fashion: Look at what he wears and look at the musical style he adores and tries to emulate. Things you can expect from Eikcihi - Bright hair, bright colors, and, fashion willing, the Gas chamber armband around his left arm.

7) Hobbies:
- Art and Drawing (Portraiture especially) He will send quiet times just people watching and drawing them. He also dreamed as a kid for him and his friends to draw together but his luck meant he never got to do that, so anyone who would want to draw with him WOULD MAKE HIS DAY.
- Posing Yeah he's kinda vain.
- Singing and writing song lyrics. Yeah he's...pretty bad at those, even if he expects to breakout into the scene soon. When your drama CD song is this you know you've got something special.

8) Jobs: He does not have a steady job yet (unless if being one of Trucy's magician assistants counts), but he is doing little jobs around and about for enough money.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: He does!

He has a guitar case.

OKay, well actually it's not just a guitar case, but a submachine gun that pops out at the press of a button. It never seems to run out of bullets and is powered by some sort of rumor magic from his homeworld.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: they haven't been here for all that long, but part of him feels like he's 'cheating' by being here in the first place. Once he returns homes, he knows that his memories are going to be wiped (long story short, his world is about to be rebooted and he's going to lose memories of his childhood friends in the process). So he sort of appreciates being here, since it means he can hold on to those memories for a little while longer.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: Nothing in particular apart from the art and makeup stores. He tends to move around and is still discovering the place.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Due to his canon point, what you see is what you get with Eikichi apart from two notable exceptions. The first is he takes critics about his person very seriously and will dramatically over-exaggerate when he feels insulted. The second is when he's embarrassed/scared a little bit of his childhood, shy fat kid shows up, and he starts to stutter. He's worked years to remove that stutter but it will pop up if he's not paying attention or distracted.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Technical same age since he is from Earth 1999 and he never was a computer user. Since the amulets almost work like cellulars of his time, it was easy to adapt. He watched some TV, but mostly read manga and worked at his dad's sushi restaurant. He walked a lot.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?:
-Persona Summons Well as the game's namesake, Eikichi can use and summon Personas which are aspects of his physics made manifest and usable as fighting tools. Just think Jojo Stands except with individual spells and skills, and you've got a good idea.
- Portraiture. He is really good at drawing people with charcol
- Can tell when people are lying / saying the truth. We're talking can't lie to Eikichi about something because he will always suspect something is wrong, or call them out on it if he can. He can also tell when people are saying the truth (and does a few times in the game). It seems to be an inmate ability that doesn't require anything special. On the flip side, HE HAS TROUBLE LYING. Eikichi has a hard time keeping secrets, or when he lies it's so obvious that anyone can tell and very easily call him out on it. I suspect this ability and trait was given to him in the game since both his main Personas (Rhadamanthus and Hades) are judge and ruler of the underworld respectively. You can't exactly lie to a judge of the underworld.
- Sushi making/ restaurant ownership So he's been raised to take over his father's resturant since he was a kid. This knowledge includes everything from making the perfect sushi rice to what tempurature fish should be served. There's just a few problems overall - the first is he hates the smell and the glassy eyes of fish, the second, is that his dad forced him into it, so there's a bit of negativity surrounding sushi in general (he hates to eat it). But when push comes to shove, he'll do what needs to be done.
- Leadership abilities/Friendship OKay so, at first Eikcihi is presented as some sort of joke character in the game, but keep in mind he was able to take over and Boss an entire school of male delinquents. Even when he steps down, his peers look up to him and are worried about the school's future. The school's student president was jealous of him being able to find that type of adoration. So yeah, it's a good skill. Eikichi's ready to be your friend if you prove yourself and he'll fight to the death for you. 8Ub

Okay, so, we both have fashion disasters. What do.
