AGE:
APPEARANCE: Link a picture to the appearance of the character or put up a brief description. This section is especially important for OCs due to the lack of canon resources. It’s also important to those apping non-human characters! If you are apping an non-human character, please link the canon appearance and include a brief description of your non-human character’s “human” appearance. If a robot, please describe the humanoid design.
PERSONALITY: A two-to-three paragraph minimum explanation of your character's personality. What are their strengths and weaknesses? Positive and negative traits and habits? How do events in their canon help shape their growth and personality? This includes but is not limited to specific events and character relationships. Please note, however, that it should not read as a history section - examples should complement the section, not overpower it.
BRIEF HISTORY AND/OR WORLD INFO: We’d like to take a moment to get to know the world your OC is from and what their life has been up until this point. This does not have to be long, just enough for you to get what you feel is an adequate summary of the character’s history and world.
ABILITIES: A quick rundown of your characters abilities in canon. Please note, anything above and beyond an average human's capabilities will be sealed for their duration of time in the game.
POSSESSIONS: What your character has on their person, not including their weapons.
>PERSONAMAJOR ARCANA: Please give us THREE Arcana you feel could suit your character. We will look over your app and pick the Arcana we feel best suits them. You may write out the reasons for your selections. If you choose the Fool arcana, please indicate whether you would like your character to also be a Wild Card. You may also provide a short explanation as to why you believe the ability fits the character.
SHADOW: Your character’s Shadow. We are looking for creative ideas based on the flaws outlined in the app’s personality section. We want to see what issues will be exaggeration and how! You’re also free to include a dungeon design and Shadow boss design in this section as well. You can be as detailed and go as crazy as you like.
PERSONA: You may choose to either use a Persona 4-available Persona (so long as it is not being used by a canon character) or deisgn your own. If using an existing Persona, please choose THREE Personas, one for each of the Arcanae you've selected in the MAJOR ARCANA section. Their movesets will be adjusted accordingly, regardless of listed skill levels.
For those creating their own Persona, it should be based on a mythological figure (the choice is yours, so long as it's not used in the Persona-universe). Its Arcana will be given based on the one chosen for your character.
PERSONA ACQUISTION: By which means would you prefer your character to acquire their Persona, if you plan on doing so? Current options are by shaking the gas station attendant's hand or facing their Shadow in the TV World. Please note that if your character wouldn't be able to accept their Shadow, the TV World option is not recommended. Also note that preferred methods do not guarantee the way your characters Persona will be acquired.
>SAMPLES
(For fandom OC apps, one of these must be set in the world of Caligo.)FIRST PERSON ACTION, JOURNAL, OR PHONE SAMPLE: Caligo does not have one single network unlike many other games. It has phone calls, texts, a school and town bulletin board, and private journal entries (like we all know Yosuke used to write in middle school.) You're free to use whichever you see fit.
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE: Introspection is what we’re looking for. We want to know that you know the thought process of your character! 300 words or more is recommended, but not required.
