• 12:26, 9 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page The Velvet Room Map: An Overview (Created page with "While creating the Velvet Room setting, we made an active decision to place certain cities within reasonable travel distance of each other. Sumaru City roughly sits in the location of real life Yokohama as a result, within about 40 minutes of travel from the heart of Tokyo. Iwatodai City and Tatsumi Port Island are about 30 minutes from Tokyo as well by high speed train. While the setting was likely meant to be in real life Kobe, we've made the decision of p...")
• 10:56, 9 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Shibuya (Created page with "Shibuya is one of the special wards of Tokyo. Once a railway terminal of little note, that all changed in the 70's as competing development groups decided to focus their efforts on transforming the Shibuya Ward to appeal to the youth of Tokyo. This has spilled over into the Harajuku neighborhood, which has become the beating heart of fashion with its many boutiques and secondhand stores. ==Culture of Shibuya== "Shibuya is for the youth." Or at least, those who desir...")
• 10:53, 9 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Tokyo: An Overview (Created page with "Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the most populous city in the world. Anyone can tell you that, but it's a completely different thing to know that academically and to actually experience living there. The youth in more rural areas and smaller cities all idealize moving to the Big City; some even work up the courage to save up and just do it, leave, make the clean break. Living in Tokyo can be a huge culture shock even for other Japanese citizens visiting for the firs...")
• 22:36, 8 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Supernatural Tone (Created page with "==The Supernatural and You== In general, the separation between the normal and the supernatural in VRM's setting is strong; you can't solve most mundane problems with supernatural solutions unless a specific rule overrides this. For instance, you can't usually just kill your enemy with your Persona in the middle of the street--but you might be able to infiltrate his Palace and change his heart. This brings the corollary: when the natural and supernatural cross over, s...")
• 22:34, 8 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Consent and Sell (Created page with "=Consent and Sell, or Collaborative Storytelling= To participate in Velvet Room MUSH is to be a part of a collaborative writing activity. While you're typically only writing your character personally, you're participating in a story with everyone else. You're on the same team, and keeping this fact in mind means telling the best story possible, together. As you roleplay, it's easy to get into the head of your character. It's the very nature of the activity. They're...")

Chorus - A noncombatant character or one who does not participate in combat, such as Kenji Tomochika or Daisuke Nagase. Nemesis - An antagonist, such as Takaya Sakaki or Tatsuya Sudou. Feature Character (FC) - A character directly from one of our canon sources, such as Yukari Takeba or Morgana. Original Character (OC) - A character devised by a player for the game. Our policy is to allow a...")
• 22:08, 8 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Where to Get Each Persona Game (Created page with "If you didn't already know, the Persona series is primarily a series of video games, each of which has multiple versions on multiple platforms. If you want to play them, these are the versions we recommend and where to find them. ==Persona 1== Velvet Room MUSH uses the PSP version of Persona 1, called Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, with its updated translation and use of the cast's original Japanese names, rather than the Americanized, PSX version known as Revelations: P...")
• 21:57, 8 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Navigator Personas (Created page with "While covered lightly in our file on Resonance, this section is to a more in-depth look at the role of Navigator in general on a Persona game, and playing as one. ==What Type of Navigator Are You?== There are the two archetypal roles of navigators in Persona games. The first is the Navigator, who focuses more on support, and enabling their team through the use of their skills that analyze enemies, enhance teammates, and certainly heal as well. This archetype is w...")

• 16:03, 8 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Psience and Technology (Created page with "Cognitive spaces and technology often don't mix. The reason for this is multifaceted, in part because the scientific community has yet to find consensus that a Collective Unconscious even exists, much less any deep understanding of how the human psyche interacts with it. That doesn't mean it is entirely unstudied. Between corporate cover-ups and self-interested individuals burying research that would benefit all of humanity for their own gain, it is simply not public k...")

• 21:28, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Twilight Fragments (Created page with "Twilight Fragments are a peculiar phenomenon within Iwatodai City and Tatsumi Port Island. They began to appear in reality after the events of Ten Years Ago rarely in the real world. While they take the appearance of ever-glowing shards of some crystalline material in reality those without Resonance fully cannot discern they exist, and will overlook them without fail. The how and why they appear in the real world is fully a mystery. You're just as likely to f...")
• 21:26, 7 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Dark Hour, Tartarus, and Related (Created page with "=The Dark Hour= 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...")
• 21:01, 7 May 2025 Ayu 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 taking to traditionally feminine activities such as cooking and sewing, to Chie Satonaka being regarded as 'too tomboy' in how she presents herself...")
• 20:42, 7 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Tarot (Created page with "<div style="float:right; width: 20%;"> __TOC__ </div> <div style="float: left; width: 75%;"> =Tarot Overview= The tarot is a popular card-based method of fortune-telling that some people make use of. These are also often seen as telling the journey of a person, from The Fool to The World, as they grow and change. In Persona, the games tend to use the Major Arcana, twenty-two cards in all, to classify various entities. The Major Arcana include the following cards: The...")
• 19:51, 7 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Monad System (Created page with "=Monad Overview= Monad is a system for running various events and challenges, such as (but not limited to) Tartarus, Palaces, and working at Wild Duck Burger. It includes prompts per round for a full scene, can reflect either mundane or supernatural events, and is customizable for a variety of situations. Put another way, it's a system to deliver plot and scene ideas that would ordinarily require a dedicated GM without necessarily requiring one. It's a fully-fledged...")
• 17:49, 7 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page Mementos (Created page with "Mementos Mementos, or The Palace of Everyone's Hearts, is a mysterious subsection of the Metaverse that has not yet been fully explored by any Persona User in the world. Those who enter are greeted with grotesque imagery of festooning train stations and winding subways, with a constant flow of Shadows boarding trains that descend further into Mementos than any Persona User can go. The mysteries of this place have become a recent hot topic among Persona Users worldwide....")
• 17:35, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Ordeal (Created page with "As noted on our page about Persona. Not everyone has the natural potential to awaken, nor do they have the help of a Supernatural entity such as a Guide. So how then does one awaken? That individual must undergo a spiritual journey of hardship, which begins when they enter a supernatural space. Depending upon the nature of that Supernatural space, a Person's Shadow might externalize from their psyche and form to challenge them. When this happens, the...")
• 17:20, 7 May 2025 Ayu talk contribs created page The Two Timelines (Created page with "A large part of the MUSH's current integration and placement hinges on the fact that Persona 2: Innocent Sin has already occurred and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is now in progress. Eternal Punishment, the second game in the Persona 2 duology, was officially released in English for the original PSX version, but not its PSP remake; Innocent Sin was later released on PSP but never on PSX. Given these patchwork official releases, we at the Velvet Room MUSH do not expect...")
• 17:09, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Demons (Created page with "If Shadows are the results of human fears and anxieties that something is out there, then what created those fears and anxieties to begin with? All of us have an instinct that there is something out there beyond ourselves. Something inhuman, which our minds have intuited for as long as people have existed. The truth is, there really are things out there that have existed since before humans told stories of them, and they may continue to exist long after we have gone....")
• 16:43, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Active Rumors (Created page with "'''OOC Foreword''' This page is a staff curated list of active Rumors. Anything on this list has taken long term effect through the power of the Kotodama. This does not mean that players cannot create Rumors in game, and even spread them ICly, just that those rumors won't have Kotodama backing them up. For the Kotodama to work it's 'magic' on the Rumor, that you must request them. If the request is approved, then it will be posted on this list. Rumors that cause a...")

• 16:22, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Rumors (Created page with "Have you heard? Have you heard? Have you heard the latest news? There is a unique culture in Sumaru City based entirely around rumors and gossip that might seem out of place in such a large city--until one actually tests it out for themselves. It turns out, rumors frequently just come true! Whether it's a tale of a street vendor who actually works for the Sicilian mafia or a bartender selling military-grade weapons, even the greatest skeptics soon become believers i...")

• 16:11, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Rumormongers (Created page with "Individuals who hold metaphorical court within Sumaru City's culture of Rumors, these information brokers get to decide which rumors spread far and wide and which never go further than them. Each has their own reasons for participating, and not all of them necessarily understand the supernatural weight that comes with being an information broker. Some just think spreading rumors about the occult is fun! Others act as Rumormongers entirely on the internet, primar...")
• 16:08, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Shadows (Created page with ""Unfortunately, there is no doubt about the fact that man is, as a whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." ::--Carl Jung What words embody the archetype of the Shadow to you, if you were to think about it? As Nurse Edogawa puts it within his lecture series on Jungian Psychology, the Shadow conjures the image of a 'creepy, unfamilia...")
• 15:58, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Nonhuman Characters (Created page with "On the Velvet Room MUSH, Shadows may only manifest within supernatural spaces, period, end of story. That is the rule! And yet, modern Persona games have a tradition of characters like Ryoji Mochizuki from Persona 3, Teddie from Persona 4, and Morgana from Persona 5 that can exist in the material world. What gives? Doesn't that seem like a contradiction of the rules? This file is to establish guidelines for players who want to play a character who is a Shadow, or pe...")
• 15:54, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Guides (Created page with "The Collective Unconscious has many supernatural powers within it. Some act as wise teachers or passive observers who wind the clock, so to speak, and watch the result; others are so dark and malevolent as to threaten to destroy humanity and reshape it to their own ends; yet others are so esoteric that not even the archetypes who have been there from the beginning of everything understand that they are a part of it all. Whatever their reasons, some of them reach out to...")
• 15:46, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Kingdoms (Created page with "Far less is known about Kingdoms than Palaces. Persona Users on Dark Side of Sumaru speak of hearing distant cries for help that draw them to real world locations, but then little indication of what to do next. Those that persist in trying to answer the calls are drawn into a Kingdom, a cognitive world where battles rage between two sides. On one side: a supremely powerful Sovereign that leads the Kingdom, and their Legionnaires, a type of Shadow of which t...")

It is not necessary to know every single detail of this document to play a character with a Will of Rebellion, but if you'd like to understand more nuance or to have an alternate method of awakening to Persona 5, then this is present as to give more information. For more on awakening as per Persona 5 Tactica's conceits...")
• 15:11, 7 May 2025 Eri talk contribs created page Sumaru City (Created page with "Just under forty minutes from the heart of Tokyo by rail, Sumaru City strikes a peculiar contrast with the enormous metropolis despite being technically part of the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Despite being nearly adjacent, staunch tradition has resisted extreme urbanization to the same degree as Tokyo, with greater development only starting to occur, and much more slowly, in the past decade and a half. Still, it's somehow not that far behind. The majority of peop...")

Ten years ago it was the site of testing for the majority of the Kirijo Group's most clandestine projects. One test group for Artificial Persona Users was stationed here. The majority of the Anti-Shadow Suppressed Weapons were likewise tested here.

In so many ways, Inaba is a snapshot of life in rural Japan, particularly with its crisis of an aging population. The youth of the town often feel the town is 'boring' or 'old-fashioned' compared to the bustling cities they've never been to, and often take up part-time or full-time jobs as soon as they can.
