• DREAM EVENT PLOTTING MEME •

Welcome to our February Dream Event Plotting meme! This post is our monthly CR meme for everyone, and serves as a place to make some plans for our next event, which will go live on February 11th. Below you will see the Event planning form as well as an Event Outline for our upcoming event.

• Event Outline •

Prompt Summary

Mementos: The Collective Unconscious

• Dreamers begin noticing distortions in reality.
• They may end up stuck in loops or find themselves transported to locations other than what they intend.
• When passing through doors, they may see a brief flicker of home.
• They may also end up in Mementos, a dark mirror of the Labyrinth, where dangerous shadows lurk.
• Mementos is the world of the Dreamers' collective unconscious, formed by their wishes and their fears, and it is now bleeding into reality.
• These shadows have infested Visium and Lumindeas as well.
• The worst shadow is The Reaper, which will take great power to defeat and will follow dreamers who try to run from it.

Forge Your Soul's Contract

• Dreamers find a mask affixed to their face, a deep will of rebellion against the things that have held them back in life provoking them to pull it off.
• The process is painful, but it will awaken their Persona.
• The Personas may look similar to the Shadows, but they are protectors born from the will of their Dreamer's rebellion.
• They often take the form of mythical or otherwise significant figures, but you have freedom to make your character's Persona something else. It can be a mythological, religious or fictional figure from your character's canon, or a figure from any real world mythology or pantheon (think Greek or Egyptian gods, or even the creatures from Lovecraft's mythos) that you believe fits your character's motif. You have total creative freedom here!
• They have elemental powers and can inflict status ailments like Shadows do.
• Dreamers feel inspired and spurred to action.
• These personas can be used to fight off The Reaper, which will be done in pairs of two. You can sign up here to battle The Reaper in pairs, and RNG will decide who delivers the killing blow. Characters are aware that there is a prize on the line for the winning pair, though they don't know what it is... Sign-ups close on 2/21.

Thy Bond Shall Become The Wings Of Rebellion

• The shadows grow stronger throughout the month.
• Dreamers must strengthen their social bonds to survive.
• Dreamers feel compelled to connect with others, both new and old, and make deals based on mutual benefit.
• Making good on these deals will give strength, speed, attack, defense, and other buffs, in and outside of Mementos.
• A social rank, 1-10, will appear above each Dreamer's head as they interact. These ranks reflect how close CR feel to one another, and they may not necessarily match. For example, Jack loves Sally, so when he talks to her, a 10 appears above his head. However, Sally's feelings have been cooling toward Jack recently, so a 5 appears above her head - how awkward, that Jack can see that...
• Increasing these social ranks will also provide buffs and unlock special skills.
• Two characters who increase their social rank may unlock a special "showtime" attack specific to the nature of their bond that deals massive damage. Feel free to get creative with how these look, what they're called, etc. - you can see examples from canon here for an idea of just how much they can briefly bend reality in the name of a cool team up!

Distorted Desires

• Approaching the crystals in Somnius and Stellari produces a curious effect.
• Those nearing the Somnius crystal may be unable to distinguish between reality as it stands and the reality of their fears, regrets, and darkest obsessions.
• Those nearing the Stellari crystal may experience an illusion of their grand wish as if it is really happening, and will be unable to distinguish between reality and their idealized life.
• Only moving away from the crystal will shatter the illusion, though Dreamers feel compelled to stay.
• Dreamers who have a high social rank with the affected Dreamer may be able to reason with them and trigger a "change of heart" and put a stop to the corruption, but the Dreamer in question is likely to become aggressive and attack.
• Because the world is being controlled by Dreamers' collective cognitions, more tangible desires may appear at random - objects, pets, even places, etc. - but they will disappear after a short time.

Welcome to our First Dream Event plotting for the year of 2026! This event replaces our "Intense" event option. As always, please direct any questions to the appropriate header. We also have a RNG signup for a portion of the event below. Please make sure to read the summaries and instructions.

Comments

[petsthedog]

do persona characters go through a second awakening, or are they exempt from that part of the event?

also more specifically for a p3 like shinji, is it correct to assume he will no longer require an evoker for the duration of the event?

[labyrinhelp]

For the Persona players, we leave that up to your discretion! Do what is most fun and creatively engaging for you, whether that's a second awakening or sticking with their original Persona. The same goes for the Evoker - if it's more interesting to play with him not having to use that, feel free.
