• 23:31, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page The Dark Hour (Created page with "A hidden time that begins at the strike of midnight every day that lasts at least, but is not always limited to, a single hour. During this time, the world takes on a sickly green hue, the moon appears huge and yellow, water turns blood red, and people with neither The Potential nor a Persona are sealed within coffins and frozen in space. The moon's phases, curiously, don't line up with the phases outside the Dark Hour, and indeed are disjointed even from each othe...")
• 23:23, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Cognitions (Created page with "Cognitions are the strange residents within Palaces, Kingdoms, and other Cognitive Worlds that are not Shadows. The best explanation the Dark Side of Sumaru community has for them is that they're the version of people that exist within someone's head. The form cognitions take within Palaces depends entirely on the distortion of the Ruler. Typically they are people, but the form they take and what they know depends on how the Palace Ruler views them. S...")
• 23:22, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Change of Heart (Created page with "A mysterious phenomenon that's only recently come into the spotlight of the Tokyo media, a change of heart in this context is ostensibly an act performed by the Phantom Thieves through an unknown method that causes an individual to 'confess their sins with their own mouth.' This has always followed a notice sent by The Phantoms declaring their intent to bring about that change of heart by 'stealing their distorted desires.' It's a puzzle to the public and police alike wh...")
• 23:20, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page The Black Mask (Created page with "The true, original culprit behind the Psychotic Breakdowns and Mental Shutdowns, known more fully as "the one in the black mask." Who are they, really? That's a secret known only to select individuals in the top ranks of the New World Order. What ''is'' known, and only by another select few at that, is that they work for Masayoshi Shido, who both uses them to gain power for himself and sells their services for top dollar to the right clientele. The Demons, M...")
• 23:18, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Artificial Persona Users (Created page with " Artificial Persona Users are individuals who have had their Persona forcibly awakened through science without the assistance of a Guide or through the Ordeal of facing their Shadow and bringing its suppressed power under the ego's control. In most cases, this is by forcing The Potential upon the psyche before it has occurred naturally. This causes an incongruence between the ego and the Shadow, bringing the two into inevitable conflict. The Shadow is not f...")
• 23:16, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Apathy Syndrome (Created page with "Sometimes people grapple with long-term feelings of isolation from others. If this persists, then during the Dark Hour, they may wake up without the protection of their coffin. People without the Potential or a Persona are often drawn to wander, continually caught in a negative self feedback loop of grappling with the idea that they would be better off dead. Those in Tatsumi Port Island are drawn to wander specifically towards Tartarus. But often people don't mak...")
• 23:08, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page A Very Brief History (Created page with "Japan has prehistoric roots in a hunter-gatherer culture that likely arrived by boats from mainland Asia long before its Jomon Period. Little is known about the culture, save that it was overwhelmed and taken over by the Yayoi and its bronze crafts, leading into a slow unity by conquest of the Japanese mainland, as suggested by agricultural evidence<ref name="AgricultureEvidence" />. Before the 9th century AD, influenced by Chinese culture, Japan underwent a cultural a...")
• 19:57, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Holidays (Created page with "As might be expected, Japan has a very different set of Holidays from Western countries, and even those they share might be practiced completely differently! We're noting general information about them here because Holidays are often great hooks. Persona games often feature these holidays, some of them being free days, others noted, and some being decidedly romantic, where you might spend some time with a special someone. ==January== '''Beginning of January -''' Star...")
• 19:46, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page School Life (Created page with "Japanese schools are very rigorous. It consists of three terms, the first running from April to July. The Second Runs from September to December. And the third runs from January to late March. School runs Monday through Friday from 8:45 AM to 3:15 PM and often includes a half-day on Saturday. However, students don't typically leave for home when classes are done. Starting from middle school, students are fully expected to participate in sports clubs, cultural clubs,...")
• 19:40, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Religion (Created page with "The notion of religious worship is much different in Japan as compared to the west. The majority of Japanese citizens engage in some form of Shinto or Buddhist (or both) rituals throughout their lives, but they're more spiritual practices than dogmatic organized worship that have become a part of secular tradition. Many Japanese citizens cannot recite a single sutra, and only do so at funerals, but because it's a family tradition still participate in these practices....")
• 19:24, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page LGBTQIA+ Issues (Created page with "While the Japanese Constitution promises equal rights to all citizens and prohibits discrimination on all grounds, in practice, those who identify as LGBTQIA+ receive far more limited protection under the law due to a lack of anti-discrimination laws. Many laws that are intended to prevent domestic abuse simply do not apply to individuals who are not considered 'straight' or 'gender-normative'. This especially applies in the Rural areas, which can be quite traditional...")
• 19:22, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Gender Roles And Norms (Created page with "In Japan, Gender Roles tend to be quite strict and as such restrictive. Standards for masculinity and femininity are quite high, and those that don't meet them often feel cultural pressures in their day to day life. These themes are everywhere in Persona games from Shinjiro Aragaki and Kanji Tatsumi being embarrassed about them taking to otherwise 'feminine' domestic traits, to Chie Satonaka being regarded as 'too tomboy' in how she presents herself for guys to have in...")
• 19:11, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Law and Order (Created page with "==Police and Law Enforcement== While Japan itself is a constitutional democracy, in regards to how one is treated by law enforcement, Japan can be a little more authoritarian in a citizen's day-to-day life than some players may be used to. On the one hand, Japanese police tend to be more prosocial and have more public trust. Part of this is because of 'kōban,' or police boxes--essentially mini-police stations staffed by a small number of community police officers. Bec...")
• 18:36, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Foreigners (Created page with "==Gaikokujin== The post-WWII terms forced both foreigners and foreign investment into Japan. While there was a degree of Westernization previously during the Meiji Restoration, it came too with the forced end of isolation. Japan to this day faces a thread of resentment towards foreign countries deciding its destiny; however, that is not to say it's entirely unwelcome. Japanese business fully appreciates foreign investment opportunities and their entry in other mark...")
• 18:26, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Family Registry (Created page with "The Family Registry or 'Koseki' system is a traditional system of tracking Japanese ancestry that has existed in some form since the 6th century AD, but its modern form was adopted in 1947. Registration is generally considered proof of Japanese nationality by its citizens, but reporting is voluntary for the system, and there have been some cases where failure to report has disenfranchised people born in Japan from citizenship. The law requires notification of births,...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched
• 17:51, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Cultural Attitudes (Created page with "==Responsibility and Collectivism== Japan has a culture of responsibility. Children are taught as young as two or three how to go on errands for their parents and how to appropriately find help if they need it. Because of this responsibility culture, many children in Japan are fully latchkey kids, expected to follow the rules set down, and take care of themselves while their parents work until they can get home. However, that has its dark side. Japan is a collectivi...")
• 17:29, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Native Cultures (Created page with "Native Cultures in Japan have faced numerous challenges over the centuries as a result of Japanese policy that forced annexation and assimilation within mainland Japanese culture, while simultaneously subjecting them to discrimination. While the staff on the Velvet Room do not claim to be experts on this subject of natives or racism within Japan, we believe that it's important to acknowledge these cultures, and the challenges those of their ancestry face in a series lik...")
• 17:19, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Honorifics (Created page with "In the localization for Persona games, honorifics are often used in English for flavor. As it's a quirk of localization the majority of us enjoy emulating from anime media, we're including a guide here. They are wholly optional, and you can use them as much or as little as you want, including not at all. '''Note:''' The author here is not a native Japanese speaker, nor qualified to teach Japanese. Several members of the Velvet Room MUSH who have greater expertise in t...")
• 17:01, 25 April 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Lifestyle And Culture: Japan (Created page with "On Velvet Room MUSH, we all have to be mindful of the fact that the majority of us live within contemporary Western cultures. Thus, when we play JRPGs from the Persona series, we have to understand that despite it being localized, we are not the game's target demographic. This section is meant to offer more information about the history, lifestyle, and culture of Japan for us to consider while we're writing about the day-to-day lives of our characters. When we're tryin...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched

It encompasses combat among player characters as well as versus monsters and bosses run by other players or staff. =Basics= The basic object of play in the Arcana System is to reduce one's opponents to 0 HP before being reduced to 0 HP yourself. While sometimes this will be influenced or replaced by the needs of drama and ultimately 'winning' is less important than telling an interesting story, that...")

The Persona archetype's name comes from this 'role-playing' aspect. Jung found an archetype that 'played roles' and named it the Persona. Masks were always used as costumes. I guess that one use has remained throughout the ages." -Nurse Edogawa In Jungian psychology, a 'Persona' is the mask used for social interaction that one wears through...")
