I must not play the metaphor demo. Playing the demo is the hype killer. I'll go on vacation and won't remember anything. I must not play the demo.

This will be the last update for 2023. I'm taking a vacation till January. The next chapter shall start on January 4th. I'll see you then, dear readers.

🗡 : altus concept + lore guide !! ( by rain ft. kaz )

visual concept : the entire region is seemingly stuck in the 19th century architecture wise, france, and, in a lot of ways, it mirrors real life france of that time. stained glass windows, churches running down streets, cobbled walkways fit for horse and carriage, markets and dimly lit bakeries attached to living apartments on top floors, along with there being no modern vehicles. altus is under nightfall at all times, specifically under a blood moon, painting the sky under a constant dark, red hue.

portal : notre dame d’amiens, somme, hauts de france. while not exactly hidden from the human population, it is near impossible to access altus from this portal unless one is a vampire themselves. vampires will access this portal with their portal manipulation, usually within one of the empty doorways of the building.

ruling house : currently under astérisque rule, with the crimson moon clan acting as a decoy, leading figure of the state.

heir : non applicable.

sigil : an illustration of the asterisque rose.

motto : when moonlight rises, when daylight falls.

the city of altus : altus is a realm nestled between the dense forest lands of asterres and the mountainous range of (name here). the main hub of the city resembles that of paris in the 19th century. the capital of altus, noirère, is based on what is known in the human realm as the seine. it's first inhabitants gave it this named based on the mirror image of the seine itself, calling it the region of the black river (rivière noire), thus birthing the name noirére; an amalgamation of the two french words. although the first inhabitants of altus were indeed french, it has since become a haven for all vampires, leading to it's "globalisation". the main inhabitants of the city of noirére belong to the crimson moon clan, save for those of the asterisque clan sitting at the vampire council's leading seats. those of the asterisque clan are generally not welcome at the city of noirére, and are expected to live within asterres in a secluded community. although humanoid in appearance, the people of altus are vampires through and through, with some showing their true appearance under certain circumstances. whilst those of the crimson moon clan are generally off putting in appearance, those of the asterisque clan are uncanny, scary. although ran by a government, the region of altus is heavily ingrained with religion and faith of the moon.

locations : the vampire council's headquarters : conseil des vampyr (notre-dame de paris), an array of churches littered among streets, the citadel (for those who devote their lives to the old teachings of altus, based on the citadel, game of thrones), large, open markets, many, many theater houses, musée de nous (an extremely large exhibition space for the arts, resembling the once standing crystal palace, london) and asterres.

jobs : sittings on the vampire council (including various titles), noblemen, priests, bards, artists, musicians, stage actors, opera singers, market place merchants, doctors (currently in high demand!!) the common folk.

mythology : faith in the moon, and the moon alone.

noirére, a society : although noirére remains in constant nightfall, flora and fauna grow much like on earth, if not more. astérisque flowers are a plant that is native to altus, and appears as the nations national symbol, blue in color, emitting a light hue.

society within noirére can be described as something rather old fashioned. despite vampires being able to lead ordinary lives within their own world, they are heavily controlled by the vampire council that watches their every move. there is a rather sharp difference in the classes, upper class being nobility, and everyone else falling below it. everyone however, is entitled to an education within altus, and most are encouraged to take interest in the arts.

culture within noirére is rich and dense, particularly in music, art, and dance. most in altus grow up with the inclination to compose, perform, and write classical music, along with creating artistic masterpieces some would think impossible to fathom, and performing theatre. most wear clothing that takes direct inspiration from 19th century clothing, but instead incredibly modern; think blouses, tight fitted pants, boots, dresses and adorned hair without countless underlayers and effort. as most vampires have no access to human blood within noirére, they eat to rely on energy. their food consumption can be heavily related to parisian food; wine, bread, cheeses, steak, fish, soups, etc. the population of altus worship their moon, and find comfort in the red light it emits, mostly due to the fact that it powers vampires themselves. for most, religion is passive more than anything, despite a few that pledge their lives to such a thing, and the loudest voices leave the more lasting impressions.

out of all of the realms, inhabitants of altus are known to step into the human world more often than others, and this is simply based on their need for human blood consumption. this however, is heavily monitored by the vampire council, and as of recent years, there has been a ban on human blood altogether. this isn't to say that altuins haven't found a way around this, no matter how dangerous it may be.

asterres, a society : astérisque moon vampires have a rocky reputation within altus. while revered for their beauty and rarity, they are also distrusted and feared due to previous incidents. most, excluding members of the council, live in a small isolated community on the outskirts of noirére, within the dense forests of asterres, marked by tall wrought-iron gates. crimson moon vampires are discouraged from entering. despite outward appearances, the community of asterisque vampires live within a self-sufficient, safe, and nature based community. they are incredibly more religious than their crimson moon alters, and dedicate their lives to the hopes that one day, the blue moon will shine once more. walkways are simply desire paths between grassy lands, candle lit lamp posts dust them, and asterisque flowers are at a near constant bloom; a meadow hugging every corner. buildings, white in color (thought to repel red moonlight), are nestled between large trees and an abundance of foliage. there is no money system, instead, inhabitants share and barter with one another. whilst seemingly warm and inviting, those who live within asterres are odd, and off putting, inducing the feeling that all will be well as long as you don't slip up.

[my-two-cents-about-everything]

Do you think Elizabeth will be successful in saving Makoto? What about his body??

This post may contain spoilers from Persona 3. ⚠️

I think there is a possibility of her saving Makoto, I mean the end of P4 Arena kinda confirms that, or at least she's looking for a way to recuse him. His body is dead, but I have a feeling that his body might be restored. By Whom you might asked. Who else than Igor or his own master?

I'm also looking at the fact that Igor has been absent in the velvet room in P5S. So my theory is that he might be helping Elizabeth with her rescue mission, she gets the bonds necessary to be free, and Igor restores his body all new again.

Sorry if this theory isn't polished enough. Who knows truly if Atlus will revisit the plot but I think will be a good end to the Persona 3 arc.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the ask.

So I guess the Village People aren't invited . . .
