* ~:: Persona War 2 ::~ *
(Explanation and Sign-Up Form Below)
Midnight, the Dark Hour...as the eerie moonlight and green sky hover overhead in the towns of Inaba and Port Island, something has appeared in the infamous sea-side metropolis of Sumaru City in the southern portion of the country's central, capitol, regions. However, this is no random occurrence, and over the course of the last two weeks a series of vicious rumors have begun to spread through the city. Play the JOKER game and you will come face-to-face with a strange figure called JOKER that can make your ideals come true! If you play the Persona Game you can meet a strange man who will grant you a mysterious gift! ...Not every rumor is quite so fanciful, however. Sumaru City is the destined to host a battle between forces that will split the country in two! During the coming battle, thirteen champions will be chosen from the chaos on either side to face one final test! One man will emerge from the war a clear victor, the power of an entire city come to rest within his hands. These are the rumors that have sparked fighting, violent fighting in Sumaru City, and a string of actions by a group calling itself the Masked Circle that promises an ideal life to those who follow the will of Master JOKER. Fighting against them are a few brave souls, unheralded, but who believe that the question to become Idealians is a lie, a flawed pursuit which acts as a draw to the misguided, playing on their hopes and fears.
A war is brewing in Sumaru City as [13 identical but different-colored crystals, impenetrable, have appeared in the sky during tonight's Dark Hour.]
In retaliation for the opposition against them, the Masked Circle have done the unthinkable...and leveled the Narumi District of Sumaru in a series of vicious explosions, sinking much of the city into the sea. Now they stand on guard at the wreckage, dug into the trenches, as their enemies come to them for what can only be a head-on assault!
However, this battlefield is about to become much larger than even the citizens of Sumaru and their rumors could have imagined. The rumored 'Fated Battle to Split the Country' is about to begin!
Those who possess the powers of the supernatural can feel the appearance of the 13 Crystals, whatever they are...they are powerful, alluring, it is a temptation that is difficult to resist, even for the strong-willed. Forces of good and evil alike place designs upon obtaining it, and converging upon its location, a hasty alliance is formed between enemies, allies, and strangers alike all for the opportunity to place their hands upon an item that might turn the tide of their ongoing struggles.
Two major forces descend upon the city and align themselves with either side of the local conflict, but their interest in the minor squabble is only a front for the larger war.
The Western Devil Kings, outcast and claiming to have been 'framed' for the murder of the Emperor, do not agree with the Masked Circle or their methods...but find them a necessary ally to challenge the forces allying against them. Under the advice of Yoshitsugu Otani, Mitsunari Ishida has called a temporary cease-fire with the Masked Circle until the resolution of the conflict. Feeling the Masked Circle is the stronger of the two, they seek only to play the Idealian cultists against their foes then crush them after the battle is won.
The Mori Shogunate has issued a stern denouncement of the actions of the Masked Circle and promised to restore order to Sumaru City in the wake of the appearance of the Crystals. Siding with the citizens of the city, Motonari Mori has dedicated his forces to aid in driving the Idelian cultists out and putting an end to the terror attacks on Sumaru. However, it is not just this purpose which drives them into the conflict...the appearance of their hated Western Devil Kings alongside the Masked Circle has driven Tatsuya Suou, a survivor of the original JOKER Incidents and Masked Circle events, to lobby his Shogun to deploy forces and defend his home. Seeing the opportunity come to crush his last opposition within the country in Sumaru, Motonari Mori accepts the request without hesitation...
...
What has resulted from all these forces converging into one area to fight over one prize? A four-sided melee: Persona-Users versus Masked Circle Cultists, Western Devil Kings versus the Mori Shogunate, and all the forces that ally themselves with either side! Formerly under the command of local police officer Katsuya Suou, the city's defense now falls under the jurisdiction of Tatsuya Suou, while Balmung and his Avengers lead the forces of the Mori with all their allies acting under his and the Shogunate's command. On the other side, Mitsunari Ishida and Yoshitsugu Otani command the Western Devil King Alliance, with the Masked Circle acting exclusively under the directives of their Master JOKER and the Four Members of the Inner Circle...King Leo, Prince Taurus, Lady Scorpio, and Queen Aquarius. They are a wild card, but generally steer clear of the Western Devil Kings, fighting alongside them against the forces of the Mori and Tatsuya Suou.
Forces collide! Battles will be fought! Sides will be chosen!
Do you support the hero of the people and his Shogunate's quest for order, turning over the impossibly powerful Crystals to their care? Or do you support the rebellious Western Devil Kings who cry foul against them? Do you find yourself drawn to the mysterious persona-users defending Sumaru, or do you ally with the Masked Circle which seeks out a way to find the Ideal Life under Master JOKER?
The time to make your choice has come!
Persona War 2 (PWII) has begun!
Which side will you be on?!
