Robert Pierce Johnson With me...a captivated audience is no surprise.
The Biography
Birth Name: Robert Pierce Johnson Aliases: Sin, The Actor, and The Golden One. Gender: Male Age: 26 Birth Day: October 25, 1987 Arcana: The Devil Alignment: Neutral (You mean for me or against me right?) Admissions Ticket: Necklace with a dove
Appearance: Robert stands around 5’11 almost 6’0, with black hair directed in one direction or slicked back a bit, brown eyes, and a very charming smile…..well sometimes its charming, other times it tends to be cocky. Depending on what role he is preparing for his appearance may change. If he needs to be more muscular, then you can expect to find him with more evident muscles. However, as it stands right now he looks somewhat muscular, but nothing like one would expect a character like Bane from Batman. He weighs around 150 pounds, which is around average for his height class, granted it would not hurt him to put on a few pounds. On his left hand he has a tattoo that involves a winged tattoo around a star of some sort, a tattoo that he is rather proud of. He claims that when he becomes famous, the tattoo will make more sense. Other people see this as naïve dreaming, but Robert seems to think otherwise. Robert’s taste in clothing is stylish to say the very least. He often wears a tight sleeveless undershirt, to show off his muscles to all the beautiful women, often black in color. On top of that he wears a sleeveless olive green vest with a fur mane around the neck. This clothing allows him to freely flex to attract women, and adds to his unique factor, after all how often do you see a guy wearing a sleeveless olive green vest with a mane around. Not often? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Often times he wears warm-up pants or black jeans for casual wear.
Personality: Robert is a bit self-centered…….alright that was the understatement of the year. He is perhaps the most self-centered person on the planet, looking out for himself, and his famous image. That means he can be expected to have a beautiful woman, sometimes one he never met, by his side and attracting attention to himself in various ways. Whether it’s an improve performance or just a little scuffle in a bar. Often times around women, he will put on his charm to woo them to his side. So ladies be careful, this one has the devil’s silver tongue and then some. Furthermore, he often seeks to control a situation or group of people, perhaps so he can direct all their attention to him. After all, he is the big star so you should be paying attention to him, and he is always happy to sign autographs for fans. If he does not get his attention, then he can get rather mad, very quickly. Robert could very well be in love with the spotlight, and the attention of thousands. Furthermore, remaining out of the spotlight for a certain length of time often makes him impulsive which can prove to be an issue in some public places. Often times, he will take whatever attention he can get, but will try to avoid legal attention as that kind never ends well for just about anyone. Any personality deviations from his core personality often indicate he is acting or trying to impress those around him. Sometimes, he will assume a persona that is not his own for a particular person, but doing this becomes difficult when the spotlight is on him.
The Potential
Strengths: (Anything your character is skilled in, such as Martial Arts/ Drawing/ etc? You are allowed a maximum of five strengths and a minimum of three. You can only have a max of three combat strengths)
—Strength Name: Acting Experience —Description: Due to his extensive acting experience, though some would say not very lucrative, Robert is able to change his voice, act like a completely different person, tell very persuasive lies, and hide his true motives from others. A big question to ask, is he telling the truth or just putting on another act for you to believe?
—Strength Name: Natural Villain —Description: While he may not act like a criminal all the time, he does play the role of an evil character quite well. Furthermore, fighting fair is not exactly in his vocabulary either, after all, "I'm the bad guy, I'm supposed to cheat!" His character has to win, after all the big star always wins. Sadly directors often disagree with this point of view, leaving Robert a little disappointed.
—Strength Name: Schemer —Description: Due to his wide experience as an evil mastermind, Robert can think of a plan that can and will lead to his enemies downfall. From a simple con to earn a little cash to a grand ploy that has in the past brought down one of his many rivals in the theater world. Beware should you make him an enemy, you never know when you might just step into one of his traps.
—Strength Name: Track Star —Description: Besides pursuing the art of theater, Robert soon discovered another stage he dominated others on, and that was track. Particularly in the 1,500m run, in college he was recruited for his fast feet and given a scholarship. Thus, he is able to move very quickly. (Running Speed Boost)
—Strength Name: Extraordinary Chef —Description: This is one of Robert’s secret passions. He loves to cook more if not as much as he loves to be on stage. If given the opportunity, he would rather cook than go out to grab something to eat. Or perhaps he will tell the cook at the restaurant to move over, and let a “real cooking star handle this dish.” If he has a choice, he will always choose cooking over premade food any day of the week.
Weaknesses: (You must have the same amount of weaknesses as strengths. These weaknesses pertain to you and not your Persona. IE: Physically Weaker, lack of attention span, etc.)
—Weakness Name: Impulsive —Description: This has proven to be an issue that Robert has yet to overcome. He gets impulses that dictate his next action. For example, if he sees an attractive women and the thought that he should flirt with her enters his head, he will most certainly follow through. Regardless of that woman’s marital status and whether or not her husband is getting ready to punch Robert. This has caused an issue as he will often improvise lines for characters, much to the director’s agitation. If there is any one flaw in his acting skills it is this, and it will shine through any façade that he puts on.
—Weakness Name: Subtle? I don’t do subtle. —Description: As one might expect from a self-centered star, he needs to be in the spotlight. This often proves troubling should he ever try to plan a sneak attack. Chances are he will end up revealing himself moments before his trap goes off without a hitch, by yelling something and appearing from his hiding place. This grand entrance (or stupidity) may work to his advantage as his rival for center stage might walk into the trap due to their distraction with his entrance.
—Weakness Name: Star’s Triumph —Description: Robert perceives himself as a big star, the main character, and the top dog. Being all of these things, Robert does not feel like he can lose, regardless of how bad the odds are. Not matter how grim a situation is, he will take it on, which naturally makes him a bit reckless. This attitude has gotten him into trouble before, especially in bars, and can lead him to take on situations that are way over his head.
—Weakness Name: Star’s Personality —Description: Needless to say, getting along with Robert can be difficult as you can never tell if he is being himself or if he is putting on another act. Some of his co-workers find him to be quite intolerable, while others find him attractive. A person may always feel distant whenever they talk about Robert, they may not call him a “friend” or even a “good acquaintance”. Rather, people will often talk about him as, “Some famous guy that I know.” Granted, this has yet to deter Robert from his current ways, but perhaps soon it will.
—Weakness Name: Controlling —Description:This is another issue that Robert has with his directors. He likes to be the one calling the shots, after all the director doesn’t know what he is doing half the time, which means he can often try to steal control of a situation or a person away from someone using his charm or other dirty tactics. Robert is the star, not the director or that lanky kid who thinks he is cool. Often times he can come off pushy or arrogant when he tries to gain control of a scene or situation.
Soul Bound Weapon: (This is the weapon you'll be able to summon to your hand while in combat. This weapon is special for your character specifically and allows you to fight. You are allowed two soulbound weapons. One close range weapon and the other a ranged weapon. Both must be the same attack type)
Weapon Name: Golden Tracer Weapon Description: A curved sword that often leaves a flash of gold trailing behind it as one swings at his/her target. The blade is around three feet long, and is made to tear into flesh in order to cause substantial bleeding. A person opposing this weapon had better be careful, lest they run out of blood from a few blows. The blade itself was meant to swung in a graceful fashion, observers of the blade’s deadly movements often call it, “The Golden Dance of Death”. One would be wise to remain on their toes, lest this dance of death claim you for the next victim. Weapon Image:

Weapon Attack Type: Slash Weapon Element: (Leave this blank. Only special weapons obtain an element behind its blows.)
The Background
History: Robert grew up in a slightly troubled home, as a young boy he never did get the attention that he needed from his parents. They were too busy working or perhaps drinking in his father’s case. His mother hid her bruises well, but what she desperately wanted to do was to keep Robert away from his father. Unfortunately she never could get a divorce with her abusive husband, and often found herself in her room instead of with Robert, his father forbade him from seeing his mother after one of his episodes. As a young boy, Robert struggled and tried to get the attention he missed in school, sadly this lead him down a path of trouble and bad grades. It wasn’t that he could not understand the material; he knew that he would get more attention if he intentionally failed. However, one day in fifth grade….something changed. The teacher made an announcement that the class would be putting on a play, and that auditions would begin in one week. Robert took the script he was handed and began to look for the part that got the most attention, or the protagonist. When auditions came…..he outdid everyone.
Young Robert had found his muse.
However, finding his muse did not solve all of his problems, Robert remained a rather impulsive individual. Some would argue that his impulsiveness grew because of his pursuit in acting, due to his exposure to literature like Shakespeare which had rather mature themes. However, this did not stop his pursuit of fame and fortune, in fact it spurred him. It was during high school that Robert became very self-centered which was normal for a teenager, but he did not grow out of it. He would start off playing some minor roles in a few movies, a few voice actor roles in video games, while he has yet to catch his big break, he knows it is close. The villain roles that he has played have been stellar in comparison to more experienced actors. Many critics are surprised that given his ability in these minor movies, why he has not been recruited for a big role. Granted, directors find him rather annoying and hard to work with due to his need for the spotlight and somewhat controlling attitude. However, eventually Robert knows that he will break through onto the big stage, and no one is going to stop that.
Revenant Disaster, Pestilence, Disease, all are my doing.
Persona Name: Revenant
Persona Type: Prime Persona
Persona's Arcana: Devil Owner: Robert Pierce Johnson
Persona Appearance:
Persona Background: A creature that revolves around death and disease, often formed by the fragments of mostly unstable individuals who received great pleasure or happiness by feeding on pain and suffering. A revenant’s very image is crafted around death and pestilence. Often times these fragments of humans are imbued with great magic, allowing the revenant to shape-shift into creatures of death like rats, worms, and ravens. While the revenant is naturally clever, they serve not greater purpose than spreading disease and suffering to those in the area, granted areas they can be found in have suffered some sort of disaster recently. Furthermore, these creatures are known to use poisonous twin knives, and are incredibly acrobatic and athletic due to their ability to crawl quickly while upside down and make tremendous leaps. These living dead should not be considered trivial lest, one end up infected by the poisonous blades that the revenant calls its own. A simple cut could spell the bane of any enemy that stands against the revenant. One should be wary of any animal that has red eyes, as those undoubtedly belong to the revenant, or perhaps they are the revenant itself.
Blocks: Bufu Strengths: N/A
Weaknesses: Wind
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.
Persona Skill List:
Skill 1: Auto-Tarukaja Begin the battle with Tarukaja cast on yourself. | Passive | Tier 2 Skill 2: Auto-Sukukaja | Begin the battle with Sukukaja cast on yourself. | Passive | Tier 2 Skill 3: Mabufula | Inflicts a moderate amount of Ice damage to all enemies. | 16 SP | Tier 2 Skill 4: (Unlocked once surviving the Prologue) Skill 5: (Unlocked once surviving Episode 1) Skill 6: (Unlocked once surviving Episode 2) Skill 7: (Unlocked once surviving Episode 3) Skill 8: (Unlocked once surviving Episode 4)
Fusion Attack: (The Ultimate attack between you and your Persona. When using this, your Persona gifts you with the capability of performing a powerful attack. However, once this is done you can not summon your Persona again for the remainder of the Episode. The attack does Tier 4 amount of damage for the Prime Persona. )
Fusion Attack Name: Symbols of Cataclysm Persona Name: Revenant Type of Damage: Dark Description: Both Robert and his persona glow a sickly green color, before exploding into a swarm of black crows, rats, worms, and other symbols of destruction or cataclysm or decay. The crows let out their calls as they dive-bomb the enemy, rats claw their way up a target’s legs and bite them with their disease infested teeth, as do locust. Targets may find dark worms appear from holes in their skin, as if they were already dead and decaying. Needless to say such images are naturally frightening if not psychologically damaging (however, this spell does not cause a % chance of fear). The main damage comes from the dark magic that made the Revenant what it is.
