[Terence_Teddy]

█ It all started six years ago, in Animus Academy. A group of Persona users that went by the name of Animus Academy's Shadow Extermination Team were banded together. The group was strong but shaky at first. They had quite a different assortment of people in their group, including two Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons. With them there at Animus Academy, they protected the school whenever they were called to their duty on rainy nights. They were transported to shadow worlds on these rainy nights, and they were to eliminate every Shadow they came across while in these alternate worlds. They even came across their own Shadow selves. Eventually, after becoming very strong and knowledgeable, they came across a demon named Jiangshi who they had to unmask for this creature was disguised as someone else entirely. Unfortunately, just before defeating Jiangshi, he ended up revealing that he was a messenger for the great Nyx, the embodiment of the apocalypse.

█ The Extermination Team had to use a special elevator of some sort to climb to the sea of souls, and meet Erebus there, who Jiangshi had called to release Nyx from her prison. The team ended up not being strong enough to defeat Erebus because of the negativity that it was gaining from the people down on Earth. Erebus was strong enough to weaken the Great Seal that another soul was guarding for all this time, but their fight was not over. They were able to distract the creature from releasing Nyx, for a small period of time, when suddenly another soul appeared and replaced the Great Seal's soul being strong enough to push back Erebus. A change began to happen on Earth shortly after that, as people begin to accept themselves for who they were, realizing that beauty itself is not all that important, weakening Erebus enough for it to disappear for a much longer time. The boy's soul that was released immediately returned to his body after that, his life being restored. The team returned to the Academy after that, knowing that at some point Erebus would return and they'd have to defeat it once more.

█ As time usually does, it passed along silently with some of the Persona users graduating and moving along away from the Academy. Some of them stayed on the island of Animus to protect it from future Shadow attacks but they had become less and less frequent as time went along, eventually disappearing completely. Unfortunately for them, this entire time, they were being watched from a higher power. Someone else even more powerful than Philemon or Jiangshi... He was a man. A normal man named Abaddon Bishop. The man wanted nothing more than peace in the world but unfortunately for the world, there had never been an age of peace ever since these Persona users were born. Abaddon was a man that was initially grateful for the Persona users help but as time went along, he began to see how dangerous these people were. How untamed they were and for whatever reason... He wanted to see them tamed. He didn't want their power to go without reason. Abaddon worked for the military, climbing his way to the top in a very short amount of time, discovering these Persona users through a secret source from within the school. It happened almost instantly four years after the previous crisis happened but regardless of what it happened, it did anyway.

█ The Apathy Syndrome had returned. Abaddon had initially proposed a course of action to be taken with the United Nations to execute a worldwide search for Persona users. They had a very distinct presence in the world and they would be found easily. Abaddon proposed to the UN that if they were to find these people and keep them detained in their own military, maybe things wouldn't go so out of order. Maybe there would be peace, instead of chaos. The UN, obviously not knowing anything what "Persona" was, denied his claim to have this done, initially. The chances of there being such a thing as this? It was madness, despite the fact that the UN did know something or two about Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons. Not only that but his suggestion to make this happen was based on his own theories and his own opinions, giving chance that this might not actually be the right thing to do. That is... until a massive outbreak of Apathy Syndrome returned to the world, plaguing the weaker minded people in the world.

█ The Apathy Syndrome was so powerful this time around that, not only did the Shadows destroy their psyche, they were able to turn humans into fully fledged shadows, giving these creatures free will to roam the Earth whenever they wanted to. The world immediately went into a state of alarm, realizing that Abaddon's plan to make a worldwide government based on these Persona users might not have a been a bad idea at this point. They knew nothing about these Persona users but if they had the power to stop this from happening and save the world from things like this, why shouldn't they give it a try? Abaddon was given full control and shortly after this, he began to terrorize the world with his vision.

█ Animus Academy was one of the first things to go. Since the Academy itself was technically a place to raise young Persona users who had the potential, Abaddon had to abolish it. Not only that but he arrested all of the teachers who still worked there and placed them under his supervision, wanting to know more and more about what they had planned. It is unknown where their whereabouts are now. After Animus Academy was destroyed, the island itself was put under high supervision, and since Abaddon wanted to stop this problem before it started, he took several people who might have the potential into his custody, bringing them to a secret facility somewhere deep in a mountainous region of the world. Here, they experimented on these people who were detected of having a Persona, making machines and devices to tear people's Persona out of them, and release their inner potential. Many people died because of this, and after a while, they started experimenting on people even younger than these adults that they had taken, using children as weapons of war.

█ To further help the newer and older Persona users release their Persona in the world and the nests, they were given military grade Evokers designed by Abaddon and a few of the UN's leaders. Everybody in the military is required to use this new Evoker, regardless of what they want.

█ Regardless of what Abaddon seemed to do, the Apathy Syndrome still spread like wildfire and the places where the Lost and the Shadows were, he placed them under quarantine, being able to evacuate all people who weren't cursed by it. He called these dangerous outbreak areas "Shadow Nests" only sending Persona users to take care of these places. Of course, this was all horrible. Chikara Kuragari, an old teacher and a member of the team from Animus Academy, got permission to start his own faction he aptly named the "Kuragari Special Unit" or K.S.U. for short. This special unit was made up of Persona users who went to Animus Academy as well as any soldier who wanted to stop this horrible vision that Abaddon had placed on the world. The KSU was an extraordinarily special unit because they could act under their own terms if they wanted to, without governmental supervision. The team was back together again! They even found a way to access the previous shadow worlds so they used that as a private base of operations for planning and things like that. They used their dorm keys from Animus Academy to unlock "doorways" to their previous shadow worlds. However, would they ever be strong enough to take down Abaddon, all the Shadows that were now plaguing the Earth, and all these Persona users who were under the governments control? Only time will tell as well as the side you decide to take in this new war against Persona and the shadows.

█ First things first, please abide by Gaia's Rules & Guidelines and Terms of Service. This should go without saying, and failure to do so will be dealt with swiftly. After all, no one wants the thread taken down or frozen!

█ In that vein, while romance is encouraged, please timeskip the moment it gets sexually explicit. We will also not tolerate hate speech of any kind, be it involving someone's sexuality, gender identity, race, or religion. Please respect your fellow RPers, and leave any personal drama at the door. If you have a serious issue with one of the members in the RP, contact one of the mods immediately and we will do our best to resolve the issue.

█ No godmodding, auto-hitting, meta-gaming, or 'cheating' of any kind. If you are unsure if something constitutes cheating, or do not know what some of these terms mean, feel free to PM beloved criminal for clarification.

█ Please only take on as many characters as you can handle. We expect frequent posting in this RP (at least once every few days, but ideally more), and it kind of sucks to be left hanging because the person you're RPing with has too much on their plate to respond to your character specifically. Failure to post for a significant amount of time (about 3 days) will result in a warning PM so we can check in on you and make sure you're still interested. We totally understand real-life commitments, so if you have something coming up (midterms, projects, vacations, etc), shoot us a PM so we know why you aren't posting.

█ Reserves are required, so please make sure you fill out the form and PM it to Teddy-Daimyo with the Arcana of the character you are reserving. Once your reserve has been accepted, you have 48 hours to complete the application. Please title completed applications with the Arcana and Affiliation of your character.

█ This is a "lazy lit" RP, but please try to write at least a good-sized paragraph or two on a regular basis. The occasional writer's block is understandable, but you'll find that people are more eager to RP with your characters when you give them more to work with! However, in the end, quality over quantity is the priority.

█ If you have any more questions, please contact Teddy-Daimyo or beloved criminal and we will do our best to answer ASAP!

When an operational wing is a tenant organization, the host command provides it with varying degrees of base and logistics support. The operational wing is represented by the Hierophant Arcana.

✬ Special Forces
Everybody in this group can control a Persona.


The Special Forces are a group of five specially trained soldiers that consist of the strongest members of the army overall. They were some of the experimented soldiers that happened to survive after being taken in. These forces are extremely dangerous, and rather murderous, their Arcana reflecting who they have now become. They are normally used for high risked operations or operations that are meant to be strictly off the record.


Special Forces Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon
xxxThe Special Forces Anti Shadow Suppression Weapon (or SFASSW for short) is an android created after they had come across plans to make their own. This ASW is extremely volatile and seems to embody most of the negative things about machines. They want nothing more than to destroy all Shadows and help people be hopeful throughout the world. Or so, they say. This ASW is represented by the Devil Arcana.

The Genesis
xxxThe Genesis is the original experimentation of forcibly pulling out person's Persona that was done many decades ago. It happened to be a young boy around 15 years old, and since then, he was unheard of, disappearing from existence until very recently. For whatever reason, this boy retains his boyish form, even though he should be much older by this point. Because of this, and even though he is supposed to act like a man, he acts like a child and loves playing pranks on people. The Genesis is represented by the Jester Arcana.

The Revelation
xxxThe Revelation is one of the most recent experimentation of forcibly pulling a person's Persona out of them. The Revelation was apparently one of the lost who had been suffering from a returned case of Apathy Syndrome, but had regained control over their psyche, and volunteered to have their Persona pulled out of them. Despite the fact that they do have a Persona, it is unclear as to what their Arcana is. It has been rumored that they represent a minor Arcana rather than a major one and yet, they are also rumored to be stronger and more reliable than that of the Genesis.

The Merciless
xxxThis person is one of the more murderous members of this group, known as the "Merciless". They are exactly that, and they seemingly never calm down from that attitude. The Merciless is even worse on the battlefield and won't even stop if the enemy is dead already. If not stopped by the following member of the Special Forces, they would go on a rampage and probably kill everybody on their team. They are represented by the Death Arcana.

The Calm
xxxThe Calm is just that, they are always calm. They never overreact, even if the situation calls for it. They never have any fear or anything but have deep problems working with the rest of the Special Forces other than The Merciless. In fact, sometimes, the Merciless and the Calm are sent out on missions together because they work so well together. The Merciless, in a way, is The Calm's pet as the Calm is able to calm down the Merciless at any point in time, just by snapping their finger. The Calm loves to torture people, and keeps a calm and carefree attitude on their face while they do it. They are represented by the Hunger Arcana.

✬ Others


These are the group of people who were confronted about becoming part of the army but because of something that's going on with them, they chose to opt out of being part of it. The government respected this, however, and only says that the people who opt out live in the general area of the military compound. As such, these spots are unlimited.

✬ TIMELINE OF EVENTS ✬

"In this time of war, Shadows, and Persona... is time a factor to you?"

✬ Indigo = Shadow Nest Infestation, Shadow Appearance, or Shadow Attack
✬ Green = Shadow Nest Cleansed
✬ Blue = Good event, something good, great, or even okay happens.
✬ Dark Goldenrod = Medium event, kinda good, kinda bad event happens.
✬ Black (bolded) = Bad event, very bad, or not very good event happens. (this does not count for chapter names)
✬ Orange = Outside the RP event takes place


█ Chapter 1 - Pages 2 - 9
November 21st, 2025
✬ The K.S.U. is ordered to go cleanse a Shadow Nest infestation. Members 0, II, III, VIII, XI, XIII, XVI, and XVIII were ordered to stay behind. Members V, VI, VIII-II, XII, XVI, XIX, XX-I, XX-II, and XXI were the ones that allowed to participate in this mission with Amaya Magatsuchi offering back up and technical support.
✬ While waiting for their partners to return, Alemaheyu Desta and Momoko Mason chat with one another, with Alejandro Andres Alcazar Flores watching over Momoko while her husband is away.
✬ While re-uniting with their former teammates, an abnormal shadow appears.
✬ Member XIV appears, managing to weaken the shadow enough so it'll be vulnerable enough for an All-Out Attack.
✬ They defeat the Shadow, and after Member XXI helps out Elysium Sideralis Reiterpallasch with getting Rhys Amado out of the rubble, they all quickly return to their loved ones back at the base.
✬ Shortly after returning, Abaddon tells everybody to meet at the Square, to which some do, while he broadcasts the Special Forces to the world as a team to rival the K.S.U. upsetting many and making others happy. Notably, the Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, who looked exactly like Frieden, an old member of AASET.
✬ As the KSU splits off into different groups with a few of them discussing the event, Chikara Kuragari and Abioye Nomusa (Kuro) decide to have a duel. Mikan Yoshino and Thessa Argent quickly enter the scene, seeing the battle unfold. While the battle was intense and both sides fought valiantly, Chikara ended up winning because Kuro overexerted his ACE. Amaya helped him out again, giving him a pill to restore his health.
✬ Metis Jaeger's message sent to Moirarchos is displayed on a television in Kohaku Mizushima and Alemayehu Desta's room, sending chills down their spines, with Moira declaring that Frieden may still be saved.
✬ Although everything that happened on this day was relatively scary, everyone retires to their rooms and spends a nice evening with their loved ones.

█ Chapter 2 - Pages 9 - current page (10)
November 22nd, 2025
✬ Not given a moment's rest, Abaddon awakes and calls Chikara. He informs the man of the fact that he knows that the KSU has a secret mission right now and Steve is assigned to be their transport. Chikara assembles the KSU to the plane with an added addition to the team, while Abaddon assembles the government after gathering the Special Forces and leaves before the KSU does.
✬ The Special Forces arrive at the Shadow Nest, taking out the Shadows but when more start coming, they allow the other humans to die.
✬ Finally arriving in the Japanese village, a few of the KSU went out to search it for some clues but, so far... to hardly any avail.
