I'm reading the thread and I've watched the videos. They're really...informative. Especially, the Hoculus thing. I never really knew that existed.

I am unascended, but before I volunteer, I have some doubts. Can you tell me just what exactly is the type of stress that the volunteer will be put through? Somehow, I feel uneasy about this.

It will be supremely unpleasant, and it might be fruitless. You may be traumatized emotionally, physically injured, forced to the point of exhaustion, and most likely brought right to your breaking point. That's all I'm going to tell anyone about the project.

If it succeeds, it will be worth it, though. I promise.

Are you still interested?

I still feel uneasy and doubtful about this.

But I'll accept. I'm willing to take the risk.

I am ascended, and I've seen all the videos of the interviews, so I am interested and willing to volunteer for the interview. If it's alright with you, will you PM me with the details?

Sounds good. I'll slot you in after I interview Charinko-san. I must warn you, given the nature of the project, that some of the questions may get personal -- the process I'm investigating being a rather personal one, after all -- and you'll have the opportunity to both refuse to answer questions and ask me to edit out parts of the interview.

Hi, I know it hasn't been too long, but I managed to get one of the tasks on the sheet done. Specially the last one. This was with a lot of help from ImALighthouse

The Devil Arcana seems mainly concentrated on passion, usually run amok: Obsession, addiction, vices. There's also the less negative aspects of the same are also. I've seen plenty of these in myself.

When reversed? It can either be a denial of such things, or twisting them. I lean very heavily towards the latter. In a moment where I've lost my cool, I've done things I've truly regretted after.

Is that about what you were asking for? Should I look into it some more?

Good work. My suggestion is to look at it in terms of what you're doing instead of what you are. Think of it as a process.

I got another big order at the forge, so this is going to be pushed back a day or two. I thought I'd share some of my notes, though. Please note that this is just the provisional terminology I'm using to describe these things, and might prove to be unwieldy. Copypaste begins now:

Terminology
 
  • Ascend: See "Ascension."
  • Ascend-Transcend: A stuttered ascension where a normal ascension is followed by a Transcension.
  • Ascension: The process by which one persona changes into another by reconciling the issues presented by the shadow. More technically I use this also to indicate an ascension where there is no arcanum change.
  • Descension: An ascension-like process where the issue presented by the shadow is not resolved, but is instead heightened -- possibly, but not awlays, to the point of psychopathy. Generally characterized by their armored form being more instead of less monstrous.
  • Stuttered Ascension: An event where a person actually ascends twice. It isn't uncommon for the first "ascension" to actually be a "descension" followed by a true ascension/transcension. Other times, it seems that the interstitial persona is simply unpleasant or insufficient in some fashion. My theory is that ascension involves the shadow and persona merging -- in a stuttered ascension, I think that a bit of shadow remains like a nodule of flour in an insufficiently mixed cake.
  • Transcend-Ascend: A stuttered ascension where a transcension is followed by a normal ascension.
  • Transcension: The term I use for an ascension in which there is an arcanum change.

Due to recent events and troubles with my Persona, I've been reexamining my ascension and how it relates to my current difficulties. As we are both interested in research of the Persona and the specifics of ascension, I believe it would be mutually beneficial if I were to participate in an interview with you.

However, the circumstances of my ascension involve personal information I would prefer didn't become public, and I'm not sure if there would be enough material after editing to make into a video. If we were to have an interview, the video record would have to remain private.
