Nouns of Note(People/Places/Things)

[VySaika]

Here there be various people who the PCs have cause to know things about. It will be updated periodically.

DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD. This is for me to keep things organized in, if you want your own thead to keep notes in, feel free to make one.

Shiro Asakura - Age 20 - Captain of the track team(Persona User: CHARIOT Red Hare)
For all his small stature, it's nearly impossible to overlook the loud, aggressive and occasionally violent Shiro Asakura. Track team star, martial arts enthusiast, and science major with a focus on robotics, Shiro is extremely active and never seems to stop or even sit still for long. Recently it's been discovered that he is another Persona user, and in fact responsible for the Shadows of Mykasi and Mika awakening.

Neimi Charles - Age 20 - Hikari's Roommate (Fortune S.Link)
The only daughter of her Japaneese mother and English father, Neimi is an energetic and cheerful geek girl who attends Hokuriku University, majoring in Robotics. Taller then most women her age and with her father's very light brown hair, she stands out in a crowd rather easily, for all that her appearance isnt special either way in any other area(aside from her glasses, but half the people in the Robotics track wear those, so...). When she isn't cramming for classes, she can usually be found geeking out over roleplaying games, animes and really horrible sci-fi movies, or cleaning for a small paycheck at the "English Style Pub" operated by a freind of her parents.

Kyo Tanakura - Age 21 - Mykasi's Roommate (Magician S.Link)
Considered a real "go getter" by his teachers and even some peers, taking it easy doesn't seem to be something that comes easily to Kyo. With a reputation for taking risks and shortcuts to get to his destinaion, whether physical or metaphorical, as quickly as possible, he is seen by others as being simply reckless. His most recent exploit is apparently moving into the vacency in his current room before clearing it with the administration, noting that "it' better to ask forgiveness then permission". Majoring in English, his current goal is to get a job in the ever growing translation industry. Kyo is a rather average looking young man, though his lanky frame makes him look taller then he is. His hair, a dark brown, looks perpetually uncombed and he seems to always have some stubble that he will sometimes consider letting grow into a full goatee.

Akamatsu Shigen - Age 32 - Valeriya's boss at the Fitness Center
The owner and manager of The Afternoon Club, a gym and youth ceter only a few blocks away from Hokuriku University. Akamatsu himself is actually one of the largest draws of the establishment, his mere presence attracting women young and old alike. In his early thirties, he is still sitting at what must at least be very close to his physical peak and is quite handsome, if somewhat distant. His distance is rather easily explained by the fact that he is a widdower of nearly 5 years now. With a tendancy to actually look out for the best interests of his employees, he is also responsible for getting Val her job as a librarian, apparently having some connections at the University.

Mika Atayama - Age 20 - Girl who's shadow is acting up
A normally shy and reserved young woman. Accomidating to the point of being a doormat. Rather small, and exceedingly plain in appearance, she does about the least standing out in any crowd ever. Except for when she goes nuts and starts screaming at her best freind like she did at the Steel Beowulf benefit "concert". Following what was determined to be her Shadow led the heroes back to the Velvet room, where they learned more about thier new lives. Confronting her Shadow in her dreams provided all the information the Persona users needed to put two and two together, confirming that what Mika was keeping inside really was strong feelings for her best freind Mistia that stretched beyond the platonic. After a vague attempt at something resembling diplomacy, the Persona users pacified Mika's shadow the old fashioned way, with much violence and hurting. After this, Mika locked herself in her room until Mike and Mistia managed to get her to come back out. Currently, she is away from school for an unspecified period of time recovering from her mental breakdown.

Mistia Iori - Age 20 - Mika's best freind
A fairly average young woman who happens to be Mika's best(and possibly only) friend. She did not seem to entirely believe Hikari when informed of the suspected reason behind Mika's breakdown. Since talking to Mika, Mistia seems very thankful for Hikari's input on the problem, and intervention at the concert, but simultaneously seems rather hostile towards Mykasi. With Mika currently away from school, Mistia is apparently going to see her at least once a week.

Issa Okuro - Age 23 - Overacheiving Student
Known for taking difficult classes and alot of them, Issa Okuro is a fairly normal girl other then her intense focus on her academic career. However, she has recently recieved a strange dreamcatcher, much like Hikari did. However, she has not yet shown any signs of having Shadow trouble. Apparently has two much younger brothers she refers to as gremlins.

Keita and Ewan Okuro - Age 7 and 8 - Issa's younger siblings
Children who's Shadows began acting up after thier older sister gave Ewan the dreamcatcher she recieved in the mail. The Shadows were causing intense rivalry, which was all out war in thier shared Dream. A clever ploy by Mykasi got the Shadows to work together, right before they were put down by the three Persona Users.

Alice - Age ??? - Mysterious little girl Valeriya plays with Nagare talks with. (Death S.Link)
A strange little blonde girl who followed Valeriya around the day before she confronted her Shadows. She claims to be from the "Other Side" though she cannot go back there anymore. Often sad that everyone forgets about her and is too busy to play with her, she is glad that Valeriya at least seems to have the time. After Valeriya's disapearance, Alice stumbled into another who could see her, Dr. Nagare Suiren. She was very sullen at first, as she thought yet another person who could see her had forgotten about her, but Nagare managed to draw her back out of her shell in his own surly fashion.

Igor - Age ??? - Long nosed master of the Velvet Room
Strange man who summoned you all into the Velvet Room the night after you ecountered your Shadows. He offered you a contract that you all signed, asking of you only to accept responsibility for your own actions.

Theresa - Age ??? - Igor's cheerful assitant
Beautiful red haired woman with cute freckles. Is often scolded by Igor for saying more then she should. Does not appear to take the rules of the Velvet Room as seriously as her master.

[VySaika]

Those of Lesser Importance

Hyong Garu - JUSTICE S.Link(Shiro) - An ugly but cheerful Taekwando instructor who is a freind of Shiro's, and was his first Social Link. Is in the know on the whole Dream thing, though has no supernatural powers himself. Also the only person besides Oda that Shiro addresses properly by his family name, apparently as some measure of respect.

Dr. Maia Hanaya - Cullinary Arts proffessor at Hokuriku. Habitually late to class, has a policy of locking out anyone who's more late then she is. Gets on your case if you snack while cooking(tastetesting is fine, snacking is not. And yes, she CAN tell the difference).

Aska Mikidao - Japaneese proffessor at Hokuriku, does not actually have a doctorate degree though. As much administration as she is a teacher, she is the one in charge of dealing with the library. Mike has her for one of  his japaneese classes.

Dr. Peter Jocyce - Pronounced "JOE-sees". Dr. Jocyce is the oddball history teacher at the University. A short, balding, hyperactive jewish man from America, he has travelled most of the world he lectures about and suppoedly speaks over a dozen languages fluently. Always full of both infectious energy and more history lore then you can shake three sticks at, spots in his classes are much sought after by the historically inclined.

Dr. Isamu Agari - A physician who makes the rounds to Hokuriku U. Not a proffesor there, he technically works for the local hospital. Known for a straightforward attitude and a very no-nonsense approach to his job. Some find this offputting, but most seem to prefer it.

Gietta "Gia" Suziwara - Val's co-worker at the Afternoon Club. The only person there, aside from the owner, who has been working there longer then Val. Dies her hair in red and silver streaks, and is known for being impossible to offend, scare or otherwise get any kind of rise out of.

Yukina Ijikimodo - Val's co-worker at the Hokuriku campus library. A very girly girl, she is into fashion, boys, popular trends, boys, the lastest relationship gosip, boys, cosmetics and boys. She will talk endlessly about any of these subjects if you let her.

Yuka Shiida - Motormouth young woman who shares alot of classes with Hikari. Always has fresh gossip, but you'll have to put up with her complaining about the latest burden to her existance or three to get it.

Rikuto Oda - Near genius, track star and yet also all aroud nice guy who attends Hokuriku U. Oddly, this seem to make him more enemies then freinds, despite his polite demenor. Often seen hanging out with Shiro Asakura.

Lahla Atsuki - An RA for the female dorms at Hokuruku U. An intensely serious woman, she often intimidates others into behaving despite being so tiny she can get mistaken for someone barely in high school instead of being nearly done with college.

Yusuke, Hayate - Hikari's "team" in her Cullinary Arts class. Yusuke rarely says two words together, and Hayate is habitually running behind(getting locked out nearly 1 class in 4). Not important enough to get last names as of the moment.

Shou Minamura - Mykasi's previous roommate. Just got busted for possesion and use of illegal recreational pharmicuticals, and expelled.

"Pyro Jack", Freisa, Shades and Nana - Freinds of Kyo's who like to hang out and play cards alot. None of them are very good, though. He hadn't gone to see them for quite awhile but won't really explain why.

Neimi's Gaming Group
Jinai Akazuma - The DM for the Wednesday DnD game. A fairly sharp guy, prefers classic fantasy to modern stuff.
Neimi Charles - Plays Garita the crazy druid, who is accompanied by her faithful pet boar Truffler, in the DnD game.
Yoro Haragi - Looks like an overweight slob of an otaku at first sight...and that's pretty much what he is. Not a bad guy, just obsessed with his hobbies. Plays Duke the Barbarian in the DnD game.
Keiko Noi - Tiny young woman who carries far too many books to every game. Manages to become a completely different person while playing. Plays Ophelia the sorceress in the DnD game.
Kosuke Nabara - Smooth and fairly businesslike man. Considers the game as a contest of wits between himself and Jinai. Plays Jean Franc the rogue in the DnD game.

The Dreamspeaker Craft Class
Taro Kimura - Owner of the store. Believes in magic and has fairly unique beliefs on it.
Toshio Ito - Bishie boy, hair dyed blue and blond. Always seems easygoing. Works in a very nice restaraunt(usually for lunch, according to the hostess).
Dami Daidoji - Clean cut and serious man. Freind of Toshio's, though the two seem as different as night and day. Very breif but always polite.
Mrs. Watanabe - Old woman who comes to the class with her granddaughter. Blatently does not care for Toshio.
Eiko Watanabe - The aforementioned grandaughter. Cute and shy.

THINGS!

Pattern Spider - Called the "repairmen of reality" by Igor. They are the ones who have been erasing all traces of Valeryia's existance.

Remnants - What's left of a Shadow when it's defeated by something it has a particular susceptablity to. Not all Shadows leave Remnants, even ones defeated in the proper manner.

Residents and Powers of the Greater Dreamscape

According to Lilly, the domain of any Power of one of the Arcana will remain reletively stable in the Dreamscape, even as everything else shifts around it. Other residents manage to stay in stable areas without being Powers either by serving one or more of them, or just hanging around thier demense on a regular basis.

Powers and Stable Areas

Lilly's Hideout - DEVIL Arcana Tempters Faction - Lilly's hideout is behind a false wall and under the street of the alley the wall leads into. From such a location you would expect it to be small, cramped and not very pleasant, but instead it houses Lilly, her fifteen lilims, and now the four Persona Users, quite comfortably. A small hallway leads down from the stairs which has doors leading to the one main room and 4 different bedrooms. The furniature in all the rooms is very comfortable and excellent for lounging on...or performing other activities. There is a small kitchen accesable from the main room, and another door in the kitchen. That door is the one room in the Hideout that Lilly requests you do not enter. Lilly's hideout is secret by nessesity and she very much requests that you do not let people see you entering or tell anyone, no matter how much you trust them, where it is. If Mab knew where to find her, Lilly's days would quite possibly be numbered.
Power: Lilly the Succubuss - Claiming to be a fairly weak power of her faction, Lilly is hiding to keep away from Mab, and having her girls harrass the pixies to try and keep them off balance. She claims to know of Theresa, refering to her as Her and She with the captial letters you can just hear.  

Queen Mab's Castle - LOVERS Arcana Female Faction - Mab's domain seems to be in the same equivilent location as Hokuriku University in the Human World, and entering the Greater Dreamscape from anywhere on campus will land you there. The castle is the size of the entire college, with the grounds of the castle stretching to the same dimensions as the campus grounds, so the place is pretty huge. A large wall around the grounds seperates this peaceful and pleasant place from the rest of the Dreamscape, and a large gate guarded by none other then Cerberus itself stands between the castle and the Battlefeild outside it. For some reason, the campus parking lot is a hotspot for shadows to be locked into an endless battle. Needless to say, Shiro's very familiar with the parking lot~
Power: Queen Mab - Little currenly is known about Mab, as none of you have met her. Her pixies seem incredibly devoted and Lilly is actively afraid of her, but that's about it.

Master Frost's Store - MAGICIAN Arcana Wilders Faction - Master Frost's hee is the coolest place around, ho. It might look like some hee-gloo out of Las Vegas, but on the inside it's a s-ho-p without equal, carrying everything from knicknacks to snackfood to books of magic and (replicas of) legendary weapons. And of course Master Frost hee-mself has the ho-nnections that can make life so much hee-sier for you...if you've got the good to pay with. The selection changes all the time, so ho on back whenever you have the time(and the Macca, hee).
Power: Master Frost - The little snowman demon is hard to understand and hold a conversation with, but he doesn't mind if you can't talk on his level, hee. He is a collector of strange things, a playa and a great admirer of fine hos. Somehow, he seems to be held in high regard by both sides of the LOVERS/DEVIL dispute.

The Vermillian Glow - ??? Arcana ??? Faction - Lilly insinuated that this building also housed a Power and was a stable location, but didn't mention what Arcana or faction ruled it. From the outside, the building is a large Victorian style house, with tasteful deep red curtains...and a not so tasteful neon sign displaying the name. Mike and Shiro suspect it's a brothel.
Power: ???

Awn The Blink's Street - FOOL Arcana ??? Faction - The smallest domain yet, Awn The Blink's shop is a tiny store on a crowded street, but the anchor provided by Awn himself as a Power allows the stores next to his to remain stable as well despite the fact that he neither owns nor manages them. Awn seems to be an "Unfixer" and a quick look into his shop from the window reveals parts to so very many machines and electronic devices strewn about.
Power: Awn the Blink - A strange hunchback man with six long spindly arms, really messed up hair and wearing a toolbelt and goggles along with a trenchcoat, he really looks every bit the mad scentist. Lilly has mentioned that he doesn't care for the DEVILs or at least her faction of them at all. He's a fairly laid back entity in general, and seems to have a good working relation with both the Seiryuu and the Binaries.

Four Winds Foodcourt - TEMPERANCE Arcana ??? Faction - Noted by Shiro as a stable place, and confirmed by Lilly to have a Power of the TEMPERANCE Arcana in residence, the foodcourt is a neutral ground for all shadows of all Arcanas. Shiro notes that he's never seen a fight break out there, no matter how violent some of the shadows eating there are elsewhere.
Power: The Seiryuu. This giagantic dragon manages the food court, and even dispenses some of his ancient wisdom upon occassion. Assuming you can puzzle out his odd way of speaking.

The Zoo - ??? Arcana ??? Faction - According to Shiro, when he enters from the park located near the Kirijo Group building in the Human World, he always ends up at the same place. The residents call this place The Zoo and most of them steer well clear of it. Shiro lets you all know that if you're looking for a fight, this is an even better place to go then the Parking Lot. Some of the things in there are NASTY, especially at nighttime. Needless to say, it's his favorite training ground.
Power: ???

The Binary Sector - No Arcana - Somehow the only area in the Greater Dreamscape to remain completely stable without having a Power in residence(or at least nearby). They were quite happy to modify Hikari to help her become stronger(as well as installing the autotransport so she could get around in thier sector) for no cost. Lily insists they are to be avoided and thier helpfulness is hiding a sinister plot to make everyone just like themselves.
Power: None, though surely whatever force is in charge of the Binaries would be the equal of one.

More to be added later as you learn of them~

--------------------

Residents

Carlie, Velvet and others - Lilims serving Lilly, who have a tendancy to be mean to pixies and very freindly to the Persona users. They all seem to be cut from the same cloth, but you can tell them apart by the color of thier hair, eyes, wings & tails, and leotard. Of the two named ones, Carlie is a redhead with dark purple wings and tail, while for Velvet the only thing that isn't deep black is her flawless white skin.

Nozuchi - A shadow resembling a five foot diameter hairball with two big feet, two big arms, and an elephant's trunk. It communicates by LOUDLY trumpeting through it's trunk, but is somehow understandable to anyone despite that fact that it isn't words but NOTES that are coming out. He seems kinda simple, but Shiro insists that he's freakishly strong. Nozuchi is apparently weak to Wind effects, as he often politely requests that Shiro is not to be destroying him on this fine afternoon!

Princess Catalina Julliette Emerald Unicorn Shimmerbell the Twenty Third (aka "Cat") and others - Pixies serving Queen Mab. They all seem to have rediculously long names, and fairly empty heads. Lilly insists that Pixies are about the weakest things in existance, a fact that Shiro agrees with, but that the High Pixies are dangerous and to be treated carefully.

Captain Squiggly - A man made of worms who has a cycloptic merman that translates for him. Apparenly the good Captain is the best damn Lostanfounder in the entire city, if you've lost something he can find it. He speaks in some strange vibration language that can only be understood by certain people, hence the translator. Shiro says he's seen the Captain hanging around other stable locations, such as the Zoo, before. But never inside, always just outside.
