Tangled AU with vilidia mayhaps?

Idia would be Rapunzel and Vil would be Flynn Rider. I wanna include the Ortho somewhere, so he would be Pascal (the chameleon) and Rook & Epel can be Maximus (the horse)(yes I'm separating the horse into two characters, Epel deserves to be present as well)

Crowley could be Mother Gothel it doesn't make sense but I can't think of anyone else. Those bandit brothers can be either Ace and Deuce or Leona and Ruggie idk.

I think this would just be a very funny au, them just going through the plot and some key differences. Like Vil's motivation as a thief, I don't think he would be stealing for money, maybe he can be a beauty thief and steals for the glamor or something.

I am shaking you so hard rn auacauav this is genius

I’m kind of thinking who would be a good Mother Gothel. It would have to be someone that wants to take advantage of Idia’s cursed (or I guess blessed in this?) hair. Crowley could be a default option. I guess that would make STYX Idia’s kingdom? That part fits really well.

Ortho could be a good Pascal! Maybe instead of being his humanoid form, he could be one of the Cerberus robots just with sentience! That way he’s more of an animal companion.

Rook and Epel is actually genius for Maximus but. I. I just imagined them in one of those two parter horse Halloween costumes. Epel is the butt Rook is the head.

But! It would be really cool if Epel and Rook were also a snuggly duckling parallel too? Like maybe Rook is Maximus since he kind of has the same energy of ‘proper, but not afraid to get his hand (or hooves??) dirty’. Meanwhile Epel has the outer cuteness inner toughness even more inner cuteness vibe of the Snuggly Duckling group.

I’m just rambling at this point

I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of Leona and Ruggie being the bandit brothers 10/10 it actually fits so well. (Even tho idk why they would work with Crowley? Ehhh ideas for later)

OMG THOUGHTS

Going back to the snuggly duckling group. It’s the first years. I just. It’s the first years. They deserve it.

Also Vil being a thief is really interesting because I’m not sure why he would be one. Maybe he would be a Robin Hood type that means well? Stealing from the rich giving to the poor kind of guy. I think that would fit his energy because he would want to be the hero.

hi! what are faceclaim ideas for werewolves and roles you'd like to see? :) i was thinking male, 40+!

Here are some faceclaims that I think would fit some werewolves: Winston Duke, Pedro Pascal, Walton Goggins, Mahersala Ali, Mark Ruffalo, Joseph Morgan, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Mike Colter, Charlie Cox, Sterling K Brown, Martin Kove, or Ma Dong-seok!

As for some roles, the alpha for the Cerberus pack would be more than welcome, Palmer - the person who owns the mechanic shop, or the owner of Cool Beans Cat Cafe. We definitely need more Eventide wolves generally speaking, as well!

If there are any faceclaims or roles that could fit for our members, feel free to reply!

yk how you can fuse pascal into cerberus what about morgana

[thebirdqueen]

Would be sick if Ever Crisis did a collab with Dx2 or just SMT in general. Do you have any idea how much I would kill for the costume potential. Raidou or Demi-fiend outfits.....I think either could apply to Vincent hehe. Maybe Nanaki can have a Pascal or Cerberus recolor.....

pedro pascal . 50. cismale. he/him. ┊┊ EMILIO GUTIERREZ, better known as agent CUPCAKE has been with cerberus corp as an eo since 2011 and is LEVEL III. A BAD BRAWL has gifted them DANGER DETECTION, though HE HAS TO BE NEARBY TO SENSE DANGER has also been noted. when they aren’t protecting the tri-state area, they are fond of RUNNING HIS FOOD TRUCK and are never seen without HIS GOLD CHAIN. civilians think they are FRIENDLY & OUTGOING, but some of the other agents see them as DISTRACTED & UNSERIOUS. cerberus corp should consider the fact that their last mission status was NOT COMPLETED BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SHOW UP when giving out the next one.

002.  EXTRA ORDINARY .

near death experience…  emilio didn’t grow up in the greatest neighborhood. it was definitely a low income community and his parents had too many kids to keep track of. he quickly found himself running with the wrong crowd of people and started to find himself in more and more trouble as the days passed. after one particular outing with his friends not long after his fifteenth birthday, they ended up fighting a group of men much older than they were. none of them really stood a chance against these men and it was only over something as dumb as one of his friends took their son’s bike. the fight seemed to last forever and once emilio fell to the ground, the beating didn’t stop. next thing he knew, the world went black. emilio didn’t know how long he was out for but he woke up in the hospital a week later just to learn that his heart had stopped and he was dead for a few minutes.

a couple of months had passed before he was fully back on his feet and started to get back into his old ways. he was heading to the local park with his friends when he started to get a weird feeling that he was in danger. he tried to ignore it but as they got closer the more anxiety he felt. when they arrived they encountered a robbery that was happening. the group of friends quickly broke it up but emilio was still on edge the rest of the day. he knew that it felt much more than a simple gut reaction.

power…  his power is danger detection and it feels like a gut feeling but much more intense sensation. he can only use it when he’s nearby and the closer that he gets to the threat, the more intense the feeling gets. since it only happens when he’s near danger, he has no control over his ability and there’s not a technique he can perfect. (see above for how he found out about his power bc i combined the things). he started working a security job at eighteen and it helped him move up pretty fast in his position since he could always break up and prevent most things from getting too out of hand.

drawbacks / vulnerabilities… the biggest struggle that he deals with from his ability is the toll that it takes on his mental health. since there’s no way to really turn his ability off, he’s always in some state of high alert while things happen around him. as the years progressed his “gut feeling” triggered some sort of panic or anxiety as he waits to face whatever danger is lurking near him. he’s definitely been put on lots of different medications over the years but nothing has seemed to help him.

cerberus corp…  he was sought out in 2010 when cerberus was first formed but he denied the offer. he was very comfortable with his life. he was married with a child and he was head of security at his job. he was told that his ability that he found to be more of a burden would be useful for them. when his marriage started to fall apart the next year, he reached out to accept their offer. he’s been here twelve years now and he knows how useful his power is on important missions, he’s been finding himself trying to stay out of the field much as he can which is why he’s still a level iii after all of this time. when he does choose to go on missions he always has a partner because he’s only there to sense where the danger is coming from. he likes being an agent but he’s glad he can still do security and when he feels like it he can open his food truck for service.

codename…  he chose the name for himself. he thought it would be funny and didn’t think that much about it. he’ll answer to cupcake or emilio but his friends tend to call him cupcake.

003.  EXTRA .

an ex wife & possibly a son or daughter. he’s been divorced for about ten years

Here’s the Pascal event: A summoner who died thanks to the failure of his enemies had his “wish” granted by the Dragon Stream via the Aura Gate, “transforming” him into “Vishnu”(Chatterskull). Being full of himself and seeing demons as inferiors, he releases smoke that enslaves demons and strips them of all will, and creates a “Guard Dog” based on a story he heard of a human who fused his dog with a cerberus. Despite being mindless initially, the dog could hear all the angry voices-

-voices of demons and humans turned demons that became ensured by the smoke, and being confronted with such negativity 24/7 eventually caused the Azure dog to develop an ego of his own and question his existence, leaving his creators side to wander the smoke filled maze under his masters control. Eventually helping Dx2 when they affirm his right to be his own person, while his master only saw him as an ungrateful guard dog who didn’t obey every word he said. Despite his wish for superiority-

-superiority the humans appearance as a demon was only a facade since the Dragon Streams wishes are always a monkeys paws, he was nothing but a Chatterskull who saw himself as Vishnu, and planned to use his army of mindless thralls to conquer the earth for not understanding his “greatness” and “genius”. Once killed and spending his moments spitefully condemning them for not seeing his superiority, Lost Name realized just as they were all escaping he was bound to the place, and will disappear.

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? This guy- how many of you have heard of this Chatterskull? Do you like it? Well, get this, they're saying "he's back", and not only that, some people are even saying "let's go, let's fucking go"

Thoughts: Non-Persona Users as the Basis for Phantom Idols

(In reference to this post.)

That is, characters that don’t have Personas, but also aren’t upgraded Confidants like most Phantom Idols.

Erina opens up a big can of worms about this possibility.  On one end of the spectrum you have her, where not having one was a plot point.  On the other end you have beings like Shadow Labrys and Metis, who may not meet the strict definition of Persona user because they are shadows themselves, but function close enough to one that they’d be easy to slot into the same mechanics.

Ryoji would probably be easy enough to translate as well, just have his Persona II be Thanatos or his Death form.

Other potential characters in this category could be the Persona II party members, Zen and Rei.

I don’t really know where I was going with this, but I guess my point is that there are characters in a gray area where it’s uncertain how they’d be handled if they came to this game.

But if they are willing to have Idols without Persona II that opens the door for bring in characters from the wider MegaTen franchise, like the Demi-fiend and Nahobino.  Or they could choose a favored demon to function as a Persona, like the SMT1 protagonist could have Pascal/Cerberus.  But it’s unclear if the licensing agreement covers the wider Persona franchise, let alone MegaTen as a whole, so maybe speculating down this path is venturing into fantasy.

Haha, yeah, I actually didn’t mention Metis and Shadow Labrys in my last response specifically because they still technically have their own Personas to use!

I feel like if they do add Erina, they’re more likely to add Zen and Rei as well, though it’d depend on how exactly they implement Erina.

Definitely agree that characters from other MegaTen games are particularly unlikely at the moment, and personally I wouldn’t expect to see them at all, though a later announcement of them being added (after all the Persona characters) wouldn’t be a complete shock either.

Liberation Dx2 uses 3D models

Though Pascal/Lost Name's compendium entry reuses Kazuma Kaneko's art for the PC Engine version of Shin Megami Tensei I.

It’s a very good rendition of the design! I love that it keeps all the wierd skeletal elements in the feet and the exposed spine. It’s nice to see the design used again.

If I’m honest, I think this Cerberus design is probably the best one from the mainline SMT games. It’s the most canine and there’s a lot of pascal worked into the design so it makes you feel like you have one tether to your old life before the whole “Thor Nukes Japan” thing. That feeling’s less strong when you get him back later in the game, but things are such a mess any familiar face is nice.

Digital Devil Saga got the objectively best Kaneko design if we’re judging purely in aesthetics in my opinion though.

[elendsessor]

I'm curious -- any headcanons for the SMT1 protagonist?

waugh yes!!! i haven’t played or watched playthroughs on either but i’m actually pretty familiar with 1 and that may or may not have to do with a certain video.

kazuya’s life sucked ass prior to tokyo being invaded by demons before getting nuked, surprisingly. bullied, had no friends, also lacks a dad like every other jrpg protag.

he’s had pascal since forever. there’s a lot of evidence that suggests pascal is not a normal doggy and in later releases was a gift from fuckin akira nakajima of all people. got him when he was really little. i can’t find information on possible breed or if pascal is a mix or something but i think of him as a genetically modified akita, which normally live from 10-12 years. the fact that pascal never showed any health complications nor signs of old age was a bragging point for kazuya. coming home to family was the only thing keeping him going.

it wasn’t until he met the law hero/chaos hero/heroine that he technically had friends and either due to lacking a social life so just like me fr or because everything around him is just falling apart he doesn’t know how to feel about it. he’s supposed to play leader but doesn’t have any clue what the fuck he’s doing. he struggles to talk with them. he’s an awkward mess.

again pascal ends up being the goodest boy even after becoming cerberus. kazuya only ended up going through with the fusion process because one way or another pascal got him to agree and that was an actual blessing in disguise. being able to eventually communicate with him using actual words lead to them actually acting like normal friends and not like the average a boy and his dog scenario.

super shy. trying his best. hates seeing violence. not cut out for this whole end of the world thing.

gets carried by everyone else combat-wise bc he’s very not capable of killing.

Persona 1 - Hanged Man, Star, Fortune Arcanas

Aka all the other Arcanas with only one Persona in them

Prev: Emperor | Strength | Lovers

1. Hanged Man - Barbatos

A demon from the Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as the Ars Goetia. This sprite is essentially a bigger and more detailed version of the demon Barbatos sprite. His moves revolve around inflicting status ailments instead of unga bunga big damage, so I didn’t use him much.

2. Star - Janus

Janus is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces. This explains why his card artwork has two of him, and why he flips from what seems to be a young/alive and old/zombie version of himself in his attack animations.

You’d think it’s good because of its Eternal White and Eternal Black, but at the level you can fuse him at, 24MP is much too costly. Not sure if it can keep up with the later game Personas with some Mag Incense. 

- (Wheel of) Fortune - Cerberus

Pascal the dog is here. Has Wolvaan if you want to be a dog too. 

I prefer the goblin-ish face and blue mane of the older Cerberus design. The current one is pretty much just a white lion with an armour-plated tail.

Pascal the Dramatic Husky is here

I see a lot of videos about loud, dramatic huskies, and I think Pascal must have been one. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good dog (the best dog), but he was a handful for poor Kazuya and his mother. 

And this did not change after he became Cerberus. He’s just as boisterous and rowdy as before, although he may be more selective when throwing his tantrums. He’d howl and whine if given a bath in a safe place, but he won’t complain about not getting enough food when camping in a dangerous spot. 

Since Pascal is now an enormous fire-breathing dog demon, his howls and snaps terrify onlookers. Kazuya, for his part, still sees him as his tiny little puppy puppy and soothes him as such. 

The people of Tokyo see Kazuya restraining this gigantic beast and watch in awe as the beast submits. Kazuya sees himself as a pet owner wrangling his naughty boy.
