Since the dawn of humanity, there has been an emptiness that made humanity incomplete. But what if this emptiness could be filled? What if humanity could become a whole?
Some believe it's power. Some believe it's love, and understanding. In the core of humanity, the heart of all human beings, lies a different reality. Within each human being, lies a world of their own subconscious creation. This is where their soul, their Persona resides. These Personae represent who they are, as a whole.
To some, it may be a feline, a canine, an arachnid, or even humanoid.
In Seattle, of the year ????, strange events are occurring. Owners of a 3DS experience strange technicalities featuring the channels. The device will flash at midnight, and stream a "Midnight Stream" of sorts, where silhouettes of "Pokemon" are viewed. Some say it's a curse. Why a curse? The next day, after it rains, a body is found, holding their 3DS.
At this same time, a group of Pokemon fanatics have created a local fan club. But why now? You'll have to see.

Characters
Taken Types
Awakened - Poison, Steel, Grass, Dark, Normal, Ice, Water
Dormant - Fire, Flying, Psychic
Corrupt - Normal
Edit 1: Also, Eevee users, you MUST pick a different type than Eevee itself, seeing as it evolves into a different type.
Edit 2: Same goes for Pokemon like Magikarp. If it evolves into a new type, you CAN pick Flying type, seeing as it evolves into a pat Flying type.
Also, there won't be two of the same Elemental Type users in one group.
Edit 3: Dormant users will have to list later on if they'll be Corrupt or Awakened.

Rules:
1. No Legendaries as Persona. They will play a bigger role later on, probably.
2. Only one type per individual. Example, if you have a Sneasel as a Persona, you must choose between Ice or Dark Type. There will be seventeen types. Therefore, seventeen individuals for each group.
3. No godmodding. It doesn't make you cool.
4. No bunnying, unless necessary and run by me. We all have lives to attend to, so I can understand if something happens.
5. No one liners. No short posts unless it's necessary. I want people who are actually interested in this RP instead of wanting to pass the time.
6. Respect others. Treat me as I'd treat you.
7. No tennis-ing.
8. If you have read and understood the rules of this RP, put in "Fluff is the coolest goth evar." =P
9. As I said before, we all have lives to attend to. If you are in a time of great inconvenience, VM me and we'll see what we can work out. I want everyone to enjoy this RP as much as possible.
10. Romance is allowed, but not mature romance. Keep it teen, please.
11. Have fun!

Specifics:
This Rp will play like Persona 3 and Persona 4, with aspects of Tartarus, and the Midnight Channel. The "Awakened" will be able to access the world of the Midnight Stream and will fight distorted or corrupted versions of "Personae," or helping "Dormant" individuals. The "Dormant" will be those who have been sent to the Midnight Stream randomly, facing their shadow. The "Corrupted" will be corrupting the power of their Persona and tainting the Midnight Stream world. Your Persona will clearly be a Pokemon.
It's going to start out at it's first evolutionary form. As you form relationships and friendships, not only with others but with yourself, your Persona will become stronger, and sooner or later evolve. When your Persona reaches a full evolution, they can use any move past and present stage. That also means overcoming personal shortcomings, such as sexual identity, personal identity, and so on and so forth
That being said, the "Dormant" will have to list a quality about themselves that trouble their identity or mind, similar to the characters in Persona 4. They will also be in charge of creating an area that reflects the psyche of their character, like a dungeon. This is a reference to the "void" of their soul, so they can achieve a Persona, and the areas the group in Persona 4 came across.

Name: Arachneo Valentine
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Arachneo stands at 6'0", with black hair that reaches to his eyebrows and sharp, amber eyes. He has an average build. His skin is slightly dark. He is usually wearing a spider pendant, with a cord for the necklace. He also wears two chain spinner rings, one on each index finger. Arachneo usually looks like he's glaring, but it's hard to tell at times. He is seen wearing short-sleeve polos, long-sleeve button-up shirts, or whatever suits him. His colors are either purple, red or black. Dark, relaxed jeans are also part of his wardrobe, as well as black socks and shoes.
History: Arachneo grew up in an abusive home as a child. Before, he was known as "Neo." He only made it to college due to his own work and progress. His family would offer no help whatsoever. His mother and father divorced, and was forced to shuffle between the two evils. His mother, being mentally abusive. And his father, never spending time with him. He'd just send Arachneo into his room until the weekend was over. His mother would tell him he was a mistake, and was worthless. Even if Arachneo tried to show love, he'd be shut away.
He was an only child, and raised himself with only a small group of friends. But, that was only for a short time. They had moved away, and never made contact with him. After that, Arachneo never really bothered making friends. He never really "connected" with anyone after that. As he grew up, he collected quite the intelligence, able to graduate early. After high school, he had a fight with his father. The neighbors had called the police, and arrested his father for child abuse.
After that night, Arachneo had moved out to Seattle and changed his name, so that he could try to erase his past. After finishing college and getting a job as a librarian, he developed as a person, and became quite the gothic individual. He developed a fascination with spiders, and all things dark. He also became fond of Pokemon, and so bought himself a DS and the fifth generation Pokemon games.
One night, he had encountered the Midnight Stream, saw Ariados on the screen, and was teleported to a world of mirrors that distorted his image. Some looked just like him, and others looked as if he was a mere shell of what he was. He came across his Shadow, and reminded him of the family that had tortured him mentally and emotionally. He also tried to make him believe he was a failure, just like he dreamed each night since he moved out to Seattle.
Through the pain and suffering, Arachneo realized he was a new man, and that he had nothing to do with the family that didn't love him. He knew they were nothing, and dead to him. He tried and tried to love them, but realized it was all for not. So now, he lives life a bit more fulfilled, and has his Spinarak persona with him.
As he heard about the deaths involving the "Midnight Stream," he knew others were suffering because of their own anguish and despair. So, he created the Pokemon fanbase in Seattle to not only bring fellow Pokemon fans together, but to see how to help these "Dormant" individuals.
Personality: Arachneo is a quiet individual. But even through the pain and suffering he went through as a child, he still feels slightly fulfilled having become a new man. He enjoys the darker side of life. The gothic life. Arachneo can get very angry when tempered the wrong way. He is usually sitting and reading or thinking. If you try to interrupt his reading, he will glare at you. He enjoys being in his apartment alone at times, but doesn't mind company, and is also usually walking in the rain. He is a bit of an audiophile as well, seen with his iPhone pumping music into his head. Try to talk to him by pulling out his earphones? May you rest in peace.
All in all, he is soft under that hard shell. He wants to love and be loved, but has a hard time doing so. Therefore, he keeps his distance at times. At others, he feels he can be open and honest with others if they are with him.
