"midnight's just around the corner, huh?" |
In the city of New York, at the stroke of midnight, it is said that there is an extra period of time that occurs that nobody is aware of. The Dark Hour. 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 the Dark Hour; even if they sleep, their bodies will not transform into coffins. The member of S.E.E.S. (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) are a group of individuals attending NYU (New York State University), who have mastered their potential in order to evoke their persona. This group lives to explore the Dark Hour while exterminating as many shadows as possible while also exploring a massive tower that appears in lower Manhattan which has been dubbed Tartarus. With each passing Full Moon the shadows grow stronger and those who fight against the shadows are becoming outnumbered. All of this and these kids still manage to get their college homework done. Tartarus is a Persona role playing game. Elements are taken from the game Persona 3 with changes being made here and there to invoke a more modern sense. (For example, the game is based in New York instead of a Japanese city. Other changes will be made to benefit the story.) |
