Okay. Formal post for

Persona 5 D&D au

So this post has three parts, and the part headers are gonna be colour coded so if you wanna skip to a certain part, it's easier!

Overall Plot is Blue, Campaign Plot is Red, and everyone's Characters are Orange

Let's get litty in this bitch

Overall Plot

So, this au has a plot. Surprise!

Everyone but Morgana is university age, and they don't all know each other before the game. The idea to start the game comes from Morgana, 16, bonding over a mutual love of D&D podcasts with his tutor, Haru, 24

So the plan is to get a bunch of people together to play! Morgana asks his older brother Akira, 22, to invite some of his friends. Their two roommates, Ann, 22, and Ryuji, 22, agree to play too. Akira brings everyone else

Yusuke, 23, he met by simply noticing him sketching strangers in the university quad every day. Makoto, 24, is his own tutor and a PhD student. Sumire, 20, and Akira are in the same social work class. And Futaba, 19, is the legendary Library Hobbit. Akira once gave her an energy drink and they became besties

So the "plot" is the gang all coming together as they play, and slowly becoming friends outside the campaign. And because I'm me, it includes a Haru and Makoto romance plot.

Which, is Haru flirting and failing, so she tries to get Makoto to notice by romancing her character in game. There's more details but. Y'all can ask about that

Anyways the important part is, Morgana is the DM, and only he and Haru are really familiar with D&D.

Campaign Plot

Their game starts with the end of the world. The cataclysm, a dark figure laughing over them as the world burns around them. Each of them has a "sign", like Makoto's character is missing an arm, Sumire's character is marred with burn scars, etc

They get sent back in time by a few months. Their goal is to change the future, with their starting guiding ideas are to keep those "signs" from happening to their characters

Originally, Goro isn't in the campaign. His character is the big bad, but the gang somehow ruin that. Morgana comes up with another big bad and panic asks a different tutor to play that character and. That's Goro

Anyways. Here's the big part

Everyone's Characters

Not too much detail for everyone, just names races and classes, y'all can ask me for more details or can suggest some

Anyways.

Akira - Eladrin Rogue named Joker (he/they)

Ryuji - Half-Orc Barbarian named Nux (he/him/

Ann - Human Sorcerer named Constance LeBeau (she/her)

Yusuke - Drow Warlock named Faeryl (she/her)

Makoto - Tiefling Monk named Just (he/they/she)

Futaba - Tabaxi Artificer named Ford F-150 (he/him)

Haru - Half-Elf Paladin named Ulyssa Noir (she/her)

Sumire - Halfling Ranger named Cinder Earthdancer (she/her)

Goro - Aasimar Blood Hunter named Judas (he/him)

-

The pronouns listed are for the characters, at the moment the Thieves all use, the ones in the game. That's the best way to put it

Anyways. I have so many thoughts about this au ASK ME ABOUT IT SUGGEST THUNFS TALK TO ME ABOUT IT

[dipstick-university]

This morning I saw Neil Gaiman's post on the passing of folk revivalist Melanie (may she RIP), and in listening to her music, I was pulled into re-reading the Woodstock wiki page, where she was one of only three solo acts by a woman. As an aging anarchist, I find everything about the hippie movement devastating and beautiful and sad. So much of my own activism is built on the knowledge that came out of their leftist struggles and failures. These are not the hippies of 1990's TV, with their neutered anti-nukes peace sign and stoner tropes, but the brilliant movement that brought us seismic cultural shifts, media like Harold and Maude and Sesame Street, and the modern music festival.

Woodstock was kind of silly--it only happened as it did because the organizers had to choose between building a stage or having fences, and they decided on the former. But when you subtract all the people that were there just to get laid or for a good time, you still have tens of thousands of political idealists. It was four days of logistical chaos for 450,000 people, but little mention has come out of it of fighting or sexual assault. I'm not trying to goldwash it--those things happened. Melanie was one of only three women allowed on that stage by themselves. But Woodstock still existed with a clear sense of meaning and hope, and the individuals there seemed to carry that with them.

In 2010, I spent three days at an Earthdance festival and was horrified at how misogynist it felt. The man who paid for my ticket cried because I wouldn't sleep with him. Someone told yelled 'cute girl you got there' at him as I tried to practice my guitar. In the final act of the festival, India Arie threw off her wig as she declared 'I am Not My Hair,' affirming her right to exist in the moment, however she saw fit. I wished for her sense of confidence, to be me and be there, but it didn't matter. I still wanted to be anywhere else.

I have to remind myself that things like this happened at Woodstock. But at Earthdance, I was 22, a feminist armed with the words to describe my poor treatment and, most importantly, jaded. Earthdance seemed to have no real agenda outside of getting high and listening to music. This is fine to do, but that it was cloaked in some antiquated idea of 'peace' infuriated me. Peace meant a lot of things, but it wasn't this limpid "pacifism" of filling the air with the wet hay smell of marijuana smoke and calling it good. Around that same time, I read how Millenials were 'optimistic' as a generation. It sounded similar to how those starry-eyed hippies felt in the summer of 1969. I wanted that for myself, to look to the future and feel hope. Fifteen years after reading about optimistic Millenials, I can't remember any of that optimism, only the slog of watching nuanced political concepts turn into undefined sludge online before a full appropriation by ad-makers. Pair that with the inane, incessant leftist internet infighting, and its almost enough to call it a day. How much more political dissatisfaction would have happened if the hippies had internet in 1970? I don't have a good wrap-up for this. (I'm writing this instead of journaling this morning, and my journal entries usually also have no good conclusion.) Maybe it's that I have to pull from the joy people still feel towards the hippy movement. That I want to make activism and art in my life that reflects those levels of joy, of longevity, of a desire for a better world, and to remember this era as fondly as I can. As one youtube commenter said: "The hippy in me will never die. What a great time to be alive."
