If you're after specific questions and don't feel like reading through everything, here's questions related to *Personae/Dark Nikawa/Velvet Room*.
You're free to ask me Persona/Dark Nikawa/Velvet Room related questions in this thread or in the 'everything' thread. Any other questions are moved to the correct thread. The questions are in no set order.
1:
Q: I noticed that [Persona] is taken but is a True Persona. Can I take that one in the mean time?
A: No. If it's claimed, it's a claimed Persona. And what if that person is close to his/her resolution and is such meant to obtain that Persona? Two people can't have the same Persona. Tough luck.
2:
Q: Can I add a custom back story to my Persona?
A: Depends on HOW custom. Complete custom is a no-go. Altering things (e.g adding stuff you've read that seems to fit in) is fine, but you can't make (for example) Hades your Persona and have him be a raging flamboyant fanboy of the Pokémon series, because... That doesn't even make SENSE, for starters.
3:
Q: Okay, I'm curious. How do you get your Persona Card if you don't visit the Velvet Room?
A: Once you have 10 RP posts, I'm making a thread for your character in Dark Nikawa. It's a private thread (the area is random) where you'll encounter a few Shadows (2-5; it'll be random). You'll have no means of harming it initially but once you've taken a few blows (or you've ran for long enough), your Persona will emerge and thus allow you to fight back.
4:
Q: What are the pros or cons of entering the Velvet Room?
A: Those entering the Velvet Room are classified as 'leaders' and gains a little more information about Personae and the Arcana Cards. They can share this information with their friends.
5:
Q: Doesn't that mean that a leader is a lot more broken?
A: No. Whether they choose to share this information or not is up to them. Even if leader #1 doesn't want to, leader #2 might be overjoyed at the thought of sharing information with the rest of the team.
6:
Q: What's the difference between a 'leader' and a... Non-leader?
A: The leader accesses the Velvet Room and gains a little more information about Personae (the one you have or the one a friend have). They're also told a little about their Arcana card (e.g Tower means that shit might be going downhill shortly).
7:
Q: Can I be a leader?
A: Like with mods and admins, I'm hand-picking every single one. There's no way in advance to know if you'll be a leader or not.
8:
Q: Great, then you'll just make the most popular people/the admins/mods leaders...
A: Quite the opposite. Just because you're the most famous person on the board doesn't mean you'll be a leader. Hell, you can have done 10 RP posts and I select you as a leader. It depends on how much I like the CHARACTER. Also, just because a character is original doesn't mean that one is ending up a leader. A generic character got the same odds as one with a backstory I've never seen before.
9:
Q: Can't you just let me fight 2 Maya's and I'll have my Persona?
A: No. And just because of that, you'll fight 5 Gigas.
10:
Q: What kind of Shadow will I fight during my initial trip to Dark Nikawa?
A: Anything except Death and boss-level Shadows. Note that all of them are 'tutorial' Shadows (if you will) so all of them are rather weak. They usually fall after 2-3 blows.
11:
Q: How long does it take for a Dark Nikawa thread (initial) to finish?
A: A minimum of 3 RP posts (from you) has to happen before you unlock your Persona. After that, at least another 2 posts (post 4 is essentially starting to fight back, post 5 earliest is finishing it all up).
12:
Q: How do I get to Dark Nikawa to begin with?
A: Once you have 10+ RP posts, send me a PM with your character name. Persona name... Well, if you want to. I don't care. I'll then create a thread involving your character's name ASAP in Dark Nikawa. Have fun there! Note: Does NOT matter if you send the PM on this account or to my Persona Awakener account, but preferably here.
13:
Q: [Name] is a friend of mine. Can I help him/her create his/her character and Persona/e?
A: Go for it. If you think you can help him/her out with it, do it! Usually cuts down the time required for his/her character and Persona/e to be accepted, too.
14:
Q: Is there a "level limit" before I can go to different parts of Dark Nikawa?
A: No.
15:
Q: ...But, the descriptions...?
A: ...Are there for fun. They mean nothing in particular. You got the same odds of encountering a boss-level Shadow in Sakiyama as you got in Kanzan. Same with low-level Shadows.
16:
Q: Why isn't everyone going to the Velvet Room anymore?
A: Because I find it highly irritating and highly unoriginal to have every single person go there.
17:
Q: ...So... Who WILL go there?
A: You'll see when I introduce it.
18:
Q: ...Why not just do the Velvet Room then? Sounds easier.
A: Reason is simple. If everyone goes to the Velvet Room, it gets highly... Unoriginal. Like mentioned before, certain people will enter the Velvet Room.
19:
Q: Are we allowed to make our True Persona (even though we can't access them yet?
A: Go for it! That's why I'm making mine, damn it!
20:
Q: Do we need a new skill list?
A: No. You inherit the 8 ones you have when you obtain the True Persona (you're free to change your tier 1 skills to higher tiers at this point, however, should you want to.) The only difference is that you can now access all 4 tiers.
Note that the summon count is reset upon obtaining your True Persona, so if you have 8 summons towards your next skill, you're better off just using it twice more, thus obtaining a new skill before obtaining your True Persona.
