Man plans. Fate Laughs.

Persona Name: Angra Mainyu

Persona Type: Tainted Persona

Persona's Arcana: DEVIL

Owner: : Xin "Kazuya" Inaku

Persona Appearance:

Spoiler:

While the entity this Persona represents does not have an accepted 'form' due to be a manifestation of destruction, rather than a single entity, for the case of Kazuya it manifests in a humanoid appearance. As though it were made of Darkness itself, the Tainted Persona's form constantly bleeds off a black smoke from its black and blue-tinted body, which appears to be its dominant color scheme excepting the eerie red eyes and twisted grinning mouth. Closer inspection reveals that the Tainted Persona is incredibly human in appearance, having the same number of appendages (also possibly digits, if its hands, though clawed, are anything to go by) and even proportioned the same as human beings, though for an eight foot tall shadow-entity. It also appears to be wearing a coat of sorts, and slung over its back is an ebony object (perhaps a club?) that it will utilize as a weapon when called upon.

Summoning the Tainted Persona causes a pool of Darkness to emerge forth in front of Kazuya, from which the Persona rises up rapidly to its full height and takes its present form, grinning all the while. From there, it will proceed to assist its User or execute the commands instructed to it, occasionally emanating a low rumbling chuckle at times. As though it were amused that its 'master' had finally called it forth.

Persona Background:

In Zoroastrianism, the 'uncreated' constant God Ahura Mazda, being both omnipotent and omniscient, created the entirety of the world. In this process, Angra Mainyu, the "evil spirit" and origin of the world's sin and misery came to be and set itself upon the world. Some readings of Zoroastrianism declare Angra Mainyu to either be a creation of Ahura Mazda, others declare it to be a destructive entity that came to oppose the God.

Either way, a being calling itself Angra ("destructive", "inhibitive", "malign" etc.) Mainyu ("mind", "mentality", "spirit" etc.) will manifest from Nyarlathotep's power and the darkness of Xin Feng's heart, thus giving rise to a Tainted Persona calling itself the 'Spirit of Destruction' in reality. Although vulnerability to Light is not apparent from its mythological background, the dark and chaotic form that this Persona takes upon naturally causes it to be susceptible to such attacks. It's resilience to the Fire element comes from its role as a Destructive Impulse, and that Fire was a vital element in shaping the world as it exists now.

Strengths: Fire
Weaknesses: Light

Passive Boosts: The Persona of the Devil Arcana are commonly Persona excelling in support skills. Users have a latent 15% boost in buff/debuff skills.

Tainted Persona Skill List:

Skill 1:

Skill 2:

Skill 3:

Skill 4:

-Tainted Soul-

Possessed Form Name: Chaos Manifest
Persona Name: Angra Mainyu
Possessed Form Appearance:

Spoiler:

Amusingly, Kazuya also gains a few feet in height, standing at roughly ten feet tall when invoking the power of the Tainted Soul.
Description: Although his mind is still relatively his own, his destructive tendencies are amplified to the point that he becomes aggressive the point of suicidal confidence. As "Chaos Manifest" he will prioritize in using offensive skills solely, and not even bothering to restore health or bolster allies (Or enfeeble enemies, if that option is available) unless either specifically asked to or placed in a disadvantageous situation that would benefit from either. It could be said that, while Kazuya is still the actor and thus composes the relatively humanoid body of the Possessed Form, the influence of Angra Mainyu seeps in deep enough to be the cause for his increased aggression. Also amusingly, their voices overlap whenever speaking, thus causing a highly dissonant combination of a pleasant-sounding though boisterous voice being followed by an echoing rumbling rejoinder.

Sorry, ran into a whole bunch of stuff. Was cut off from internet for a while. Back for the foreseeable future, though.

Anyway, Tainted Persona application updated. I pretty much change a bit of everything except the skills list. Also added Tainted Soul.
