Dark Hour: Dark Hour is a cycle of phenomena that occurs in game. The Dark Hour occurs every night as an extra period of time inserted at 12:00:00 a.m. During the Dark Hour, the environment changes colors. The Moon, sky, and buildings take on a sickly green color, while water becomes crimson and strongly resembles blood. Normal humans who are unaware of the Dark Hour will transform into coffins and be unaware of what occurs. Shadows, however, will become active during the Dark Hour, during which time they will attempt to lure humans out of their coffins in order to feed on their psyches. Only those with the potential to invoke a Persona are able to stay fully active during to Dark Hour; even if they sleep, their bodies will not transform into coffins. All electrical appliances will cease to function during the Dark Hour. S.E.E.S.: SEES or Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad is a club at NYU. While the university sponsors them and lists them as a club, their true purpose is to eliminate the Shadows and investigate both Tartarus and the Dark Hour. Evoker: The Evoker is a gun-esque item. It functions as a summoning medium for members of S.E.E.S. to invoke and control their Persona. Evokers are created and manufactured by the OMEGA Group. Using Evokers can be traumatizing and tiring. To summon their respective Persona, users would press the evoker to their head and pull the trigger, giving out a pale, blue-ish fog that covers them while giving out the shape of their Persona. Persona: A Persona is a manifestation of a person's personality in the Persona series, referred to as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship. A Persona is similar to a Shadow. Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, while a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained. Shadows: Shadows are the enemies of the Persona series. They are born from humans, and carry with them human emotions, which mostly are negative. Strong-willed Shadows attract lesser Shadows, which later create stronger Shadows. The bulk of the Shadows exist in Tartarus. Tartarus: Tartarus is a massive tower that appears each night during the Dark Hour. Because it "grows" out of the ground each night, the layout of the tower is assembled randomly, aside from certain key floors that never change. The Empire State building changes and becomes Tartarus when the dark hour occurs. |
