Persona Ball Crew AU because I'm a NERD
Main story is that the Ball Crew all go to the same school. Me, Lala, Dazzle, Tom, Red, Adam, Avery and Will (mason not here yet) decide to play the Persona Game (in Persona 1 it was the game the protagonists played that caused them to get personas, whoops) and we all get struck by lightning and pass out because of magical reasons.
We all wake up in the infirmary of the school and we all had the same dream about a blue butterfly. The nurse says we're alright and shit and she tells us to go visit Mason in the hospital bc he's been sick for a week and needs our support, so Me, Dazzle, Tom and Will decide to go while the rest stay.
We have a fun chat with Mason before the doctors say they have to bring him in for some tests, so we all wait for Mason outside the lab. But then there's an earthquake! so we rush into the lab to see if Mason's alright, and the door mysteriously leads into a brick wall. We hear a scream from down the hallway so we run off to investigate.
Surprise, the hospital is being attacked by demons. We all arrive at the lobby to see a hoard of zombies attacking a nurse! We all step in like the heros we are (barehanded except Dazzle brought an Axe to school because why the fuck not) and we all awaken to our personas (see below)!
After a brief skirmish we all return to the school to find out that the others managed to awaken to their personas as well. So we all take shifts guarding the school and exploring the now twisted outside world.
Fei
Arcana: Empress
Initial Persona: Micia
STRONG: Strike, Ice
WEAK: Fire, Light
REFLECT: Pierce
Ice-based ranged attacker. Has excellent dexterity stats allowing for ranged superiority, but is weak to light spells making him an easy target. Has minor support skills as well and learns the multi-target healing spell media early, making him a good early to mid game choice.
Mason
Arcana: Magician
Initial Persona: Lemaign
Strong:Fire, Light
Weak: Strike, Ice
Reflect: Pierce
Fire-based physical glass cannon. High damage output and the ability to reflect pierce attacks make him a viable choice. However, weakness to Strike may cripple the team late-game when enemies hit harder than usual. Being paired with Fei boosts both their defenses ridiculously high, and removes their elemental affinities other than Reflect/Pierce.
Dazzle
Arcana: Chariot
Initial Persona: Pyth
Strong: Strike, Slash
Weak: Pierce
Physical tank, soaks up damage. Has excellent late-game health and defense scaling though attacking might fall a bit flat. Main offense options are heavily luck-based, with his main weapon being high-damage, low accuracy axes.
Tom
Arcana: Emperor
Initial Persona: Yudrig
Strong: Lightning, Pierce
Weak: Wind
Reflect: Light
Starts off with stats lower than the rest of the team, but gains access to multi-target physical and lightning spells earlier than everyone else. When paired with Dazzle they have a chance to take hits for each other/heal each other with no penalty.
Avery
Arcana: Temperance
Persona: Hense
Strong: Wind, Dark
Weak: Strike
Reflect: All Ailments
Magic-based support with decent dexterity allowing for viable gun builds. Learns Speed and Attack boost skills earlier than the rest. Is the only character who has the ability to learn all ailment-inducing abilities at once.
Will
Arcana: Hanged Man
Initial Persona: Jevel
Strong: Light, Dark
Weak: Wind
Physical tank/support. Has early access to Defense-boosting skills earlier than Dazzle, but doesn't have as much base Defense and Health. Immune to all instant-kill moves, and can learn a skill which reduces the AP cost of stat-boosting abilities to 50%. When paired with Avery, they have a chance to cure the entire party's status ailments and boost defense for a few turns.
Adam
Arcana: Hermit
Initial Persona: Acobi
Strong: Wind, Fire
Weak: Ice
Reflect: Dark
Sweeper, excels in clearing waves of enemies in a short time. Has high offensive stats but low defense stats. However, AP usage is noticeably higher than everyone else. Useful late-game when the need to grind for experience/money becomes overwhelming. When paired up with anyone, one of that person's Strong affinities is converted to Absorb, meaning they get healed when hit by a skill of that affinity.
Red
Arcana: Fortune
Initial Persona: Olak
Strong: Wind
Weak: Ice
Reflect: Light, Dark
Dedicated mage. Offensive magic stats are phenominal but suffers from poor defense and health. Learns a skill which boosts the effectiveness of all offensive spells. Has a different effect when paired with another character;
Fei: Lowers Ice affinity for enemy party
Mason: Heals entire party for 8% of their max health every turn
Dazzle: decreases enemy defence
Tom: makes everyone invincible for one turn
Avery: Attempts to inflict a random ailment to all enemies
Will: Kills all enemies currently afflicted with any ailment
Adam: Converts all Strong and Reflect affinities to Absorb for 5-8 turns
???
Arcana: Hunger
Initial Persona: Roathus
Strong: Light, Dark
Reflect: Ice
Physical-dependent bruiser unlocked after an extensive and confusing subquest that nobody could figure out. When paired with Fei, and only Fei for some reason, both of their attack stats go way up but disable the use of healing spells.
