all_wound_up: (bashful)

We haven't had one of these in a while (maybe not since the concept was first introduced) and I've been wanting to do more of these lately.  For those unfamiliar with what Dual Personas are, they're this super-fun thing we do here where two characters with close CR can awaken a Persona that represents their relationship to each other and that both characters are in control of.  The details can be found on this page, but here's a basic rundown of how it works:
  • Dual Personas are represented by the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, and in relation to the characters' relationship with each other.
  • A Dual Persona's level is the higher of the two levels of the characters involved in awakening it.
    • This does mean that the lower leveled character can still use it even though it might be higher level than them!
  • All Dual Personas have at least four skills:
    • Two of these skills are derived from the characters' Soul Personas, leveled up appropriately to the Dual Persona's level.
    • The other two skills are 'emotion skills' and are custom skills based on how each character feels about the other.
  • Characters from different worlds also get a fifth 'cross-canon' skill based on a similarity between the two characters' worlds.
  • Characters with bad Arcana with each other can still get a Dual Persona; they'll just be unable to use their partner's emotion skill.
  • The Dual Persona can only be used when both characters are present.
So this is just a planning/plotting meme for players who want to get into making Dual Personas for their CR.  The creator tool is over here, and finished Dual Personas can be submitted here just like Velvet & Aramid Room Persona submissions.  Once approved, you can work on awakening them together in a battle thread!  If anyone wants to see some examples of approved Duals, here is a link to all of the ones Nano has had approved (yes, I am addicted to making these).

Just put up a comment with the characters you play, and other people you've got CR with can tag in and discuss and plot.  Have fun!
