player plots.
premise ⬥ taken ⬥ faq ⬥ navigation
Players are encouraged to submit their own player events, whether it is on a smaller or a larger scale. Due to the nature of the overarching events and plots of the game, however, it is recommended that larger plots run during the off-dungeon months. Smaller plots may run during both on-dungeon and off-dungeon months, pending mod approval and discussion.
Player plots may involve Shadow events. However, there are specific limitations and requirements for these events.
→ GAME-WIDE SHADOW EVENTS
Game-wide Shadow events are far more intensive player plots that function similarly to Persona 4's dungeons.
These events require a player creating a completely new dungeon for their event, whether it is an extension of a currently existing dungeon or it takes place within a completely new area. Within this new dungeon, players may either create their own generic Shadows or they may use any Shadows already existing in the game, asides from the bosses.
The player's character can either be whisked away into their own dungeons by a collective flood of Shadows that drag them along or they can find themselves suddenly awake in the deepest part of their dungeon without any recollection on how they arrived there. Their Shadow Self will then hold them captive until they are to be rescued. During this time, the other characters will then notice that, during the Lockdown period, a strong and powerful wind will flow towards the entrance of the newly created dungeon. Once the dungeon is completed by defeating or accepting the character's Shadow Self boss, this wind will disappear, though the dungeon will remain.
Due to the nature of these these game-wide Shadow events, they may only run during off-dungeon months and only two are allowed per month. They must run either during the first two weeks or the last two weeks of the month and players must sign up for them in advance.
→ PERSONAL SHADOW EVENTS
Personal Shadow events are more private and contained than game-wide Shadow events, mirroring Persona 1/2 or Persona 4's encounter with Chie and Yosuke's Shadows.
Rather than the player creating a new dungeon, these events are restrained within a currently existing one. However, players may choose to warp portions of it to reflect their character's Shadow. For examples, a particularly bright area of the dungeon is now dim and dark, a new floor or area has been added, or the generic Shadows have now changed to resemble aspects of the character, their Persona, or their Shadow.
The player's character will either randomly encounter their Shadow Self while they are already in a dungeon or, during the Lockdown, they will hear a faint voice that urges them to come into the dungeon, either generically persuading them to venture in or specifically compelling them about a particular matter. This voice will eventually be revealed to be their Shadow and it will not disappear until the Shadow is defeated or accepted.
Personal Shadow events may run during both on-dungeon months and off-dungeon months. However, they are limited to two per month and they must run either during the first two weeks or the last two weeks of the month. In addition, players must sign up for them in advance.

Name: Archer
Character: Akira Kurusu
→ EVENT INFO
Type: Personal Shadow Event
Date: The first few weeks of January
Details:
- This event takes place on the third floor of the first dungeon.
- The entire floor is still on fire, but now lightning bolts are causing it. There is no rain, they just come down from the smoking skies. They strike environment, Shadow, and Persona-user alike. They get more frequent as you approach the palace.
- Some Shadows and FOEs are now on fire, but still running around. Their HP is lower, but their Attack is higher, and every hit has additional Fire damage. Any semblance of order the FOEs may have had is gone, and they’re now attacking indiscriminately.
- The palace, incidentally, is also on fire. Lightning strikes that building more frequently than anywhere else on the floor. There’s smoke coming out the windows. The roof of the tallest tower has fallen off, lying in a blazing heap below.
- All the way around, the gates now look like they’re made of giant, curved ribcage bones. They are hanging wide open for characters to enter.
- The entrance to the boss room can be found by investigating the fallen tower; the main entrance of the palace now looks like this portal, fused into the walls where the doors should be.
- Upon entering you are immediately met with this. You don’t have much of a choice but to go down. There’s only one path apart from a drop down the middle, and the Shadows on the floor are waiting in the dark to ambush you on land and air.
- I’m running out of not-too-spoilery reference images so we’ll just say that the bottom is a vague approximation of Tokyo, but all the buildings are made entirely out of that black and glowing red material, and there are giant bones sticking out of the ground and through buildings.
- Somewhere in this hellhole is Shadow Joker. I haven’t figured out what he and Akira are doing yet, but my current idea is sharing a body with eye colour and body language being the only indicator of who you’re speaking to. Would that be a viable option?
(tbh these are also shower thoughts and can change/be elaborated on, my main concern right now is the time slot for IC and OOC reasons)

It is completely viable for Akira and Shadow Joker to share the same body. They can certainly attempt to fight for control over the body or anything similar to that. If you ever want to run anything by us, let us know!
