The Fool Of Persona
WARNING!
Spoilers Ahead!
This is version of Ren is set POST GAME. More info below.
The Civilian, Ren Amamiya
A nineteen year old graduate of Shujin Academy, and average citizen of Japan. He once was falsely accused of Assault, but after a year of probation and a retrial, the charge was expunged from his record. He is still monitered by the police on occassion for "unknown" reasons.
The Trickster, Joker
The image of Rebellion, as imagined by Ren. Joker was the former leader of the Phantom Thieves until they were forced to disband. Its been a few years since their last heist, and Joker's lacing his boots back up and donning his infamous mask once again. He is willing and able to act alone this time.
A Brief Explanation:
Based on the ending of Persona 5, and the rather ambiguous statements made by Morgana, Ren is using his Personas in the real world (SmashRP/Multiverse), by keeping Arsène, and a few other personas in his cognition, making them real.
This is my justification to keep this portrayal as post-game and somewhat possible within the lore.
Joker VS Ren Amamiya
Ren and Joker are the same person for all intents and purposes except for a few, and this is why I felt the need to explain. To start things off,
| Offense/Attacking: |
|---|
| Ren is an athletically gifted young man. He knows how to use a knife, he's good at gymnastics, and knows some basic martial arts. |
| Joker uses his Persona(s), to attack whilst also using his dagger and a gun. Attacks with the gun are cognitive, when Joker is the one using it. This means the attack will not leave a mark, but they will feel as if it is real. |
| Defense/Guarding: |
|---|
| Ren's life is in jeopardy when he fights. His body, his muscles, bones, his blood are all vulnerable when he is on the battlefield. He is an average young man. |
| Joker's life is NEVER at risk when fighting. Joker is Ren's vision of rebellion. When attacking Joker, one is attacking Ren's Rebellious spirit. Once his rebellion is beaten into nothingness or forced to be quelled, Joker's attire fades, and he becomes Ren. |
Buffs and Status Effects will be explained and elaborated on in the Persona List and within RPs upon request!

MetaNav+
I'm going to start this with: THIS IS NOT CANON TO THE GAMES OR ANIME! This change to the MetaNav App's function had been made only so MVRP interactions are made easier.
The app still holds it's normal functionalities, how ever now, Ren and CO. can travel back in time within their own cognition, interact with the past, but not have any effects on it. This prevents any awful time travel nonsense from occurring.
Another feature added was a Point of Interest marker. These markers are placed when absurd amounts of Mana, Distortion, or Chaos are in the area. Other than knowing something is going on, Ren knows nothing else.
Once again, this is just a mechanic for Multiverse interactions. It will not be disruptive in any way. (Hopefully).
TL;DR: This is a god awful plot device I've 'Created' for the sake of MVRP interactions and starters.
