Welcome to New Arcana!
Welcome, Welcome! You've probably guessed by now, but this is a text-based Persona RPG site for Atlus fans, by Atlus fans. If you're new to Shin Megami Tensei, this place can still be for you, so no need to dash towards the doors! Your first stop should be the introduction board so we can introduce ourselves.

Shin Megami Tensei and Persona belong to ATLUS. We own nothing, and have simply used their data to create a world of our own. They are the true geniuses behind the scenes.
I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong impression. I am not a monster, merely the sound of the rage which lies within a lion’s heart. The universe tells me what song I shall play next, and I do nothing but obey its wishes.
True Self
True Form Name The Devil Of Georgia
Arcana Hermit
[bTrue Form Appearance[/b]
Ruben’s true self could probably be best described to the outside world as a demon-like creatue with bright red skin and black decorating his knees, the wings on his back and his face. It’s a rather terrifying sight, with his jagged tail and black claws and teeth, but somehow, this creature is still capable of holding and playing his treasured instrument. Despite how horrifying Ruben’s true appearance may be, he still doesn’t lose any of his grace in his movements, though his beauty in the execution of his movements is well matched with his fierceness.
Form Background: Ruben's true form is an ironic twist on an old tale sung in a fiddle tune called "The Devil Went down Georgia". In this story, a devil plays a musical duel with a fiddler player in a dangerous bet: the demon's violin of gold against the other man's soul. As the original tale goes, the fiddler Johnny was the one to win the contest....but not in this case.

Special Ability:
Ability Name: Shadow Frenzy
Appearance while in Frenzy: If Ruben seemed to be lost in his own world before when he played, he is gone from this earth completely when he enters this mode. Somehow, everything just flows naturally. Eyes closed, he moves from one song to the next effortlessly as he chains his mental aliments, playing with more passion than ever from his beloved golden fiddle. Every step he makes is in beat with what he plays, as a display of horrifying beauty as the devil like creature plays his music.
Description: The Shadow Selves have a special ability called the "Shadow Frenzy" allowing them to cast skills at half the price, and link Tier skills like a chain. For Example: If a Shadow Self were to go into a Frenzy, they could cast a Tier 1 skill and immediately follow that Tier 1 skill with a Tier 2 skill in the same post. The only requirement is that the skills being chained must be the same type, such as Garu to Garula, or Magaru to Magarula. Also you can only link up to three skills total. This Shadow Frenzy only lasts for three (3) turns, and once it ends it can not be used again the entire topic and all following skills will be weaker by 50% (unless a special item is used).
Human Skill Name: Warming Chord Persona Name: Ruben's True Self Tier: Tier 1 Cost: 5 SP Type of Damage: None Description: Due to his heavy musical background and the fact that Ruben's skills are tied directly to his instrument, he is able to play an introduction to a symphony that increases the chances of all his mental aliments effecting his enimes by 10% for the next 5 turns in order to balance out the fact that he doesn't use his soul bound weapon to physically attack unless absolutely necessary.
