SHADOWS
( the dark parts of our mind shoved in a corner. )
Shadows are the parts of ourselves that we don't want to accept. They are ugly, and we don't like to show these parts of ourselves to others. Shadows encountered in the Abyss are the personifications of Humanity's ugliness and it's secrets. When fighting Shadows, any minor damage inflicted by them actually hurts you. Large physical damage and magic damage is psychological. It damages your psyche and your Persona. When someone enters the Abyss, their Shadow is created. If they deny that part of themselves, their Shadow will draw others to it and it will become stronger, and they will be killed. But if they accept it...
PERSONAS
( the facades used to overcome life's hardships. )
Personas are Shadows who have been accepted. They are the masks we wear to deal with the pain that comes with life. They represent our hopes and fears, and our dreams and nightmares. Personas are summoned as they were in Persona 4, summoning a card from the depths of your soul and destroying it. They can not be used outside of the Abyss. They are similar to astral projections. If you choose to explore the Abyss, even outside of story events, you will be occasionally granted level ups and extra skills. The maximum amount of skills a Persona can have is eight, if you want more, you'll have to get rid of old ones. All damage dealt with a Persona is psychological, inflicting wounds on Shadows and other people's Personas. Enough psychological damage can kill after a certain point, so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind your weapons do real physical damage, so if you're going to fight another Persona user, be careful.
