Team!
So the question no one has asked me is, "Where the heck did Thia go?" The answer is, into my own mind, as per usual. I spent a number of months drafting a conversion of a Japanese Urban Horror setting, Persona, into HERO. Much to my surprise, it was entirely successful.
I will start attaching things like the setting document, converted powers, and what have you over time. The idea behind Persona (you can Wiki it for clarity, it's a big beast) is that the protagonists are unique in their ability to move into an alternate dimension that is beside our own, and in this dimension, summon forth psyche based constructs based on myth, who then wield powers to fight Shadows, solve problems, and look cool. The game is a martial arts/high action/horror hybrid, in which I attempt to answer the question, "If you have a Persona that can throw lightning, and you have a roundhouse kick that can shatter a brick wall, what do you have to be afraid of?"
a) As always, the unknown, also
b) things with powers you don't know how to defend against
I've done some minor rules adjustments, in addition to writing out the mechanics around how you gain/change Personas, and so forth. As always, I will post more as people ask questions, so if you're looking for a horror/action setting that isn't zombies and guns, this could be for you.
Persona(tm) is owned by Atlus/SEGA; they hold all the rights, so the conversion is purely systematic and in no way infringes, etc. If anyone would like to tell them I've done this, great! They won't answer my emails. >.< (sad trombone).
