THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME
(inspired by Persona 4)



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts."

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...

How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

I should've realized I wouldn't be coming out of here without a fight, given who I'm dealing with... [S I G H]

[silverkicks]

I don't want a fight, I want you to leave. [This is him pressing himself against the back wall and glaring.]

[eightdancingpetals]

[Her face is one of concern.] Which puts us at an impasse. I don't want to leave without you!

[silverkicks]

There's no impasse if you do what I tell you!

[eightdancingpetals]

I can't leave you here!

I'm not here out of obligation. Guess what? Maybe I do care despite it all! Do I approve of what you did? Hell no. I'd have to be insane to do so. But I understand why it was done. [Softly:] God knows I'd have done the same thing if Ennea or Nona's lives were counting on it.

Santa, you're just as much of a victim here.

[silverkicks]

Stop lying! You don't have a clue what's happened to me, you don't understand it so it doesn't matter if you care! [GLARE.] Ennea and Nona went missing without you even noticing, was that you caring too?
