Persona: Dark Net is a Play-by-Post Game forum hosted on FanFiction.Net based on the Persona series, specifically Persona 3. The Forum was created in early May of 2014 and is ongoing.Despite Persona 3 being the primary source, elements from other games in the Persona series are used as needed while certain aspects are completely discarded. For example, while a few abilities are called by name, most of the fighting is done free form. Additionally, while Social Links still exist, they're done in little one-on-one One Shot stories.The main plot involves a mysterious Boarding School by the name of LA Academy which only allows entry to an extremely narrow group of individuals with an unknown guideline allowing entry. The school's teachers and staff are good at their jobs, though none appear to be aware they're supervising teenagers and most don't seem to care to restrict their behavior in any way. A particular set of students, new to the school, find shortly after entering an overabundance of toy guns and computers in every room, and it's soon discovered that past students had been typing a special URL in their computers to open a gate into a new world, known as the Dark Net.Upon entry, the group finds themselves soon infected with a Mystical Plague known as the Mark, a black spot on their body that will soon extend over their flesh the more they physically, mentally, and emotionally exert themselves. The Mark causes mood swings, soul pains, and whatever else might be inconvenient for those who have it. Soon enough, it'll take over the bodies of its victims and end their lives.That is unless, they delve back into the Dark Net, using this newly discovered world's powers against it, deeper and deeper each time, to find the source of this darkness.The forum can be found here for those interested.As a note to editors, please keep all Character related tropes in the Character page.

comment
Axes at School: Well what do you expect when most of the weaponry was found at the school. Somewhat justified as most of the starting equipment the group uses are either practice weapons or just manual labor tools.

 Persona Dark Net (Roleplay) / int_13f5b1b
comment
Instant-Win Condition: Successfully accepting a Shadow Self pretty much removes them as a threat. The issue is that for most characters, doing this means accepting huge flaws in their personality, accessing repressed memories, or acknowledging huge screw ups from their past.

 Persona Dark Net (Roleplay) / int_15264ac9
comment
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: For all the Hollywood worthy heroics and battles, all the running and magical bursts of light and dark and who knows what else, characters generally manage to get out alive well enough. They also manage to frequently have broken bones or sprains from what, in comparison, are mundane dangers in the Net, and even the injuries that they're capable of ignoring tend to persist into later chapters.

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight
 Persona Dark Net (Roleplay) / int_3f92ad39
comment
"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: When a character is under the affects of charm or general mind control, most fights will boil down to another character trying to appeal to the victim while still putting up a fight. When characters are rendered unable to fight after hitting the Berserk Button on their Shadow Self, this is also a common way to try to snap them out of their funk.
