The Dreamlands:
The Persona portions will take place in The Dreamlands. The Dreamlands are a reflection of our world where people project when asleep. Some people are known as Lords of the Dreamlands. Those are people who have gained power in real life and the ability to manipulate the Dreamlands.
Most Lords keep to themselves, ruling their portion of the Dreamlands fairly. Sometimes, however, corruption can set in. Corruption in the Dreamlands means someone becomes corrupt in the real world, no matter how hard they try and hide it.
The Realms of the Dreamlands take the form of their Lord's perceptions and visions. One lord might have a feudal Japanese city, whereas another could have a modern-style city right next to it, and there could be a field straight out of Medieval England next to that.
Due to the fantastical nature of the Dreamlands, Persona users are called "Knights" and have Personas based on knights from the Matter of Britain and the Matter of France. Persona users also gain armor and a weapon.
Uh, I'll probably work out a rough map of the city at some point. There are several more locations. But yeah, this is a hard reboot of another Persona RP I recently tried that was basically just a rehash of Persona 5. This time, i decided to remake it from scratch and throw in my own twists, even though it follows Persona 5 chronologically.
