Shadow

Name: Ryudo Issei. He won't complain, whatever you call him.

Description: A young man in vividly-colored and patterned purple robes. (Art by [livejournal.com profile] lylith_st, do not steal.) They're definitely not the standard robes for monks nowadays. A small few people might be reminded of the beautifully colored robes that Japanese Buddhist acolytes used to wear, when the young monks were the focus of attention in the temples... To Issei, who studies this sort of thing, it'd be a symbol of servitude and seeking attention all in one.

Personality: Issei's issues include: perceived lack of trust from his friends, inability to do anything to help said friends, feeling as though his friends don't care about his own issues, generally feeling as though no one likes him as much as he likes them, and how much worse all of this issues are when they apply to his crushes. Also, he really liked Caster, who as you recall took over his body and was going to kill him; Kuzuki, who he considered a beloved elder brother for a number of years, obviously didn't care whether he lived or died. Technically this is more of the same issues, but they're a little... more substantial.

Toward other people, Shadow!Issei is servile, nearly desperate. He admits freely that he'd do anything for a mere scrap of affection from them, or even a second of attention. He calls people by their first names if they've asked him to. He's brutally honest when it comes to their friendship - they don't have one. That would imply reciprocity, after all. But in the middle of telling someone that they never cared about him, he'll still be deferring and eager to please. If they don't care about him, he'll do enough for them that they'll have to care.

It's toward himself that Shadow!Issei unleashes his anger. He despises himself. He's too weak, unable to help anyone meaningfully. He doesn't have the interest of his 'friends' because he's worthless. It's no surprise that no one cares about what he wants; what he wants doesn't matter. He isn't even strong enough to keep from attacking his friends. He's a pathetic wretch, and Shadow!Issei can't stand to be him.

Dungeon/Enviroment: The Ryudoji Temple remains as it is... Or it appears to from the outside. Inside, it's completely empty - empty of other monks, empty of furniture, even empty of books and religious items.

The Shadow's 'True Form':

Name: Warped Acolyte
Description: Issei's Shadow's robes spread out until they cover the entire floor of the battling area. His face and visible body twists into something haglike (his grimace reminiscent of his Persona's.) Issei attacks by dragging his opponents under and toward him with more robe-tendrils, incapacitating them until they're freed. So this is what I need to bring you closer to me? Very well.
Level: Mid-70's.

Persona

Name: Jikokuten, a guardian of part of Buddha's realm.
Description: Persona 3 art.
Role/Category: Fighter, some Support
Level: Low-70's
Elemental Resistance:

Resist: Physical, Wind
Block: None
Absorb: None
Reflect: None
Weak: Dark

Jikokuten is very good at inflicting Slash damage upon the enemy. He has some support skills that assist in this/general kicking ass, as well as some that deal with his Dark weakness.

Zan-ei (targets one enemy, Slash damage, power: 120)
Sukunda (targets one enemy, lowers Hit and Evasion rates for 3 turns)
Auto-Sukukaja (begins the battle with Hit and Evasion rates increased for 3 turns)
Revolution (targets all allies and enemies, but I'm overruling that because this Jikokuten is cooler, increases probability of critical hits for 3 turns)
Survive Dark (50% chance of surviving a dark instant death spell with 1 HP)
Evade Slash (triples evasion against Slash attacks)
Endure Dark (automatically survive a dark instant death spell any number of times with 1 HP)

I may fiddle with this list a bit, given that Jikokuten only starts at mid-20's in Persona 3.

Pffffffffffff...remeber who Shadow is he talking with XD..Saguru loves himself.

Molesting? No, that's an awful thing to do.
Edited 2010-01-07 02:06 (UTC)

^^' a way too much maybe

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
You need to take care of your weaker self. Who would do it better than you?

It sometimes seems that way, yes.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even like him. Wouldn't I be the worst at such? Not that anyone else would have the desire to, either...

There's a lot of thigns to love, or so he says.

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
You don't, uhm? Tsh tsh...bad boy. Why don't you like him? Because he's weak?

...Issei might agree?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
He's weak. He's useless. He's not worthy of anyone's interest or affection; nothing he does deserves that. Should I truly be taking care of such a person?

Iseei or Shadow!Issei?..or both?

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
If he disgust you that much, kill him.

Both, but I meant regular Issei.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
You truly want me to?

He feels flattered @^_^@

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Do YOU want to?

He should be~

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Does it ever matter what I want, Saguru?

:3 /gives kisses

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
It matters this time because in this particularly subject you can do something about it.

*gives hugs*

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
It seems as if killing him would have unpleasant consequences for me. I don't particularly wish to die.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-08 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a bit vague of a plan to kill someone for.

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
It's nto my problem if you are not intelligent enough to understand it.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't mean to imply that I wasn't grateful for the advice.

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
No? Surprising, people might actually listen.

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
In that case..what are you waiting for?

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what. An opportune moment, perhaps.

[identity profile] clockmaster.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
There's no better moment than now.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're right, of course.
