Same here! Glad you're alright. And I'm not sure about Social Stats. Might need to think on it.

 

[quadraxis201]

Sun Rank 1: Study Party

Grants the Protagonist the ability to "Study with Akari" after school, potentially granting boosts to Knowledge.

Sun Rank 2: Baton Pass

Lets you pass your turn to another party member with Baton Pass with a knockdown.

Sun Rank 3: Follow Up

Allows Akari to perform a follow-up attack if an enemy is not downed.

Sun Rank 4: Crusader Talk

Allows Akari to step in should a Negotiation fail.

Sun Rank 5: Raid Party

Akari gives the Protagonist his online screen name, allowing them to "Play with Akari", wherein the Protagonist can join him in an online game after school, granting a moderate boost to a random Social Stat, depending on who Akari "winds up helping".

Sun Rank 6: Harisen Recovery

Allows Akari to sometimes cure Status Ailments inflicted upon party members.

Sun Rank 7: Paladin's Pacifism

Allows Akari to sometimes convince a non-boss enemy to stop fighting, forcing them to skip a turn.

Sun Rank 8: Endure

Allows Akari to survive an otherwise fatal hit with 1 HP remaining.

Sun Rank 9: Protect

Allows Akari to sometimes take an otherwise fatal hit for the Protagonist.

Sun Rank 10: ^Second Awakening, *Holy Blessing

^Transfigures Akari's Persona into a new form.

*Akari gains the ability to automatically regenerate a small percentage of his HP before each of his turns.

As this is more or less a rough draft, there's plenty I can change, but this is what I came up with thus far.

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Honestly kind of scatterbrained. Not sure what to do for a lot of them.

 

[quadraxis201]

And yeah, everything was fine over here. At worst, I think it was blustery and kind of rainy around where I work, but... that was it. Dorian really lost steam when it hit us.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

I got a bit of rain, and that was it. The lights flickered a few times, but nothing else.

 

[Xcelgamer]

damn stupid not notifications

 

[Arcanist]

Glad you guys are safe! That storm sounded scary :/

Your confidant stuff is looking pretty cool too!

[MainEventMan]

Oh, should I be keeping track of Daisuke’s social stats? I can do that, but I don’t know when exactly I’d buff them xD

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

Not sure. I'm not to big on stat RPs, honestly.

 

[quadraxis201]

I mean... that's if they're implemented. Like I said, if they aren't, I can always edit my post.

 

[MainEventMan]

Oh, alright. Well, anyway, since everyone is doing it, should I make a confidant abilities rank list for the New Phantom Thieves? Or is it gonna be like in the actual game where the social link is with Igor? I’m fine either way.

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

If ya want to make a list, go ahead!

 

[Xcelgamer]

So how's everyone's persona speech going?

 

[Gravitational Force]

I don't know the Persona game mechanics, could someone help me with this please?

 

[quadraxis201]

Which mechanics in particular?

 

[Rusty of Shackleford]

I do have the first words of Takeshi's speech:
"Kept you waiting, huh?"

 

[Gravitational Force]

Which mechanics in particular?

Confidant levels, stats, effects, etc.

 

[quadraxis201]

Confidant levels, stats, effects, etc.

Alright, well, when it comes to Confidants/Social Links, it goes like this:

When the Protagonist chooses to spend time with a Confidant, it works a bit like a dating sim, but not really. What you say to them will make a difference in terms of how many points the Protagonist acquires towards advancing in Rank, and having a Persona of the corresponding Arcana equipped or in their Stock will grant a boost in how many points they gain, too. These points are invisibly tracked, and when you have enough you'll be eligible to enter the next scenario to Rank up, otherwise you'll receive a generic "You spent time with so-and-so...", sometimes ending in "You feel your bond will grow stronger soon...", indicating that next time you will Rank up. Each Rank Up may grant an ability for the Confidant (if they're a party member) and/or the Protagonist. For party members, some abilities on offer are the same, like Harisen Recovery, Endure, and Protect, but they will also have unique ones. When coming up with my list I went on the Wiki and cross-referenced the Confidant Ability roster of party members in the actual game, and developed it off that format.

About the "Social Stats", they're things like Kindness, Understanding, etc. They're typically needed to begin or advance certain Confidants, and like the Confidants, they require enough points to reach a certain Rank, and they are gained by doing things like working, studying, and eating huge hamburgers (or beef bowls, depending on your game), to name a few.

 

[Arcanist]

Confidant levels, stats, effects, etc.

As for negative status conditions, these are the ones (at least in P5, it varies a little in some other games) that can be inflicted on a character or an enemy:

Status Changes in Persona 5

These are the status changes in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. Generally, both ailments and battle conditions's expiration is determined by an internal timer, which goes down by 1 at the end of the user's turn. These effects are normally removed at the beginning of the user's turn after the...

megamitensei.fandom.com

P5 also has two specific negative status effects that don't appear in other games:

Despair	Drains SP every turn, cannot move. Dies/Faints after 3 turns have passed
Mouse Form	Cannot move, damage taken increased.

There are also specific skills that can power up or lower attack/defense/accuracy/evasion/agility. You also have skills to raise chances of critical hits (which helps to 'Down' an enemy and get them into a hold-up quicker), attack damage, shields against certain elemental spells, and skills to nullify enemy resistance to certain elemental spells. You can find some stuff in the support section on the Wiki too:

List of Persona 5 Skills

Below is a list of skills present in Persona 5. For a list of skills in Persona 5 Royal, see List of Persona 5 Royal Skills. Mid-bosses have increased resistance against all ailments inflicted by both Physical and magical skills. Major bosses (denoted with much bigger font of their names in the...

Alright, gonna start on the reply now!
