#also don't talk to me about the ending of Strikers unless you want a 5 hr unskippable cutscene it pisses me off soooo much

[alienpistol]

persona 5 fanbase: royal is canon! royal is canon! you have to accept it!!

strikers: who is Kasumire. what the fuck is a Maruki. Akechi who?

tactica: here they are in DLC. these characters are only available in NG+ which means they aren't canon to the ongoing story and therefore questionably canon at all. what is a Maruki. Wolf? Sophie? who?

[findroleplay]

Aa hi I'm Deli, I'm 17 (turning 18 in a month) and I'm looking for a Persona 5 rp partner to go over my self aware au with! I'll mostly be looking to test out the dynamics between my Player character the characters in the game, but we can add more to that.

Literacy: I was not raised with literacy requirements and I do not know how they function 😅 I also don't ask for a certain length of response. Whatever works, just more than a sentence

Fandom: Persona 5 (Royal/Strikers mostly)

Pair: Mostly centers around ccxoc but there ARE some side ships (ccxcc mxm). I'll be happy to double up!

Character(s): Player (my character), my version of Maruki is very specific so I can play him too, but I'm willing to play whoever you don't choose. But!! Akechi, Ryuji, Mishima, Zenkichi, and maybe even Konoe would all be very appreciated!

Ship(s): There's a definite Maruki x Zenkichi here, whether it's enemies to lovers varies on the plot we choose. The relationship between any member of the pts and Player doesn't have to be romantic, but it can be

Triggers: This au contains lots and lots of body horror, also tws for violence (domestic and fighting) in certain scenes. Player's story revolves around child abuse, grooming, and an attempted kidnapping in the real world and a successful kidnapping (or several 😔) inside the game (who did it depends on our plot but it's not that bad unless we make it that way). My version of Maruki is transmasc and Joker's biological dad so there's tws of transphobia, imagery of pregnancy, extreme body dysphoria, mentioned forced detransitioning (Rumi), and other such related things if we ever get into stuff involving him. There are tws for murder (getting run over), which includes potentially graphic gore. This all can be toned down at rp partner's request.

Genres: I don't really know how to describe this other than horror but the actual horror parts are not the focus, just means to ends. I also can't really call this a creepypasta either. There's fluff in here I promise

Plot ideas: Entirely up to you, but I do have some building blocks from the "canon" material of my au that I'd love to piece together into a story we can both enjoy. The basic plot, though, is that Player went through vanilla p5, the reward system in the next game they played recognized that they had vanilla, and ended up transferring those memories into Joker, who then became self aware and spread that to others. Near the end of their playthrough, somebody gets the bright idea to just pop through the TV and take Player. Hilarity ensues.

Where: Can be tumblr, but I prefer discord.

Other: aa I am SO autistic about this au but I hate being uptight about things. If you want an adjustment made so you can enjoy it, just talk to me and we can figure it out. Idk I'm very much a people pleaser when it comes to this stuff and I'm just happy to be here so I try to make as many concessions for my rp partners as I can so you can enjoy it too. I hope this catches your interest!!

Interrogation Record

Interrogation No: SY-MK-99-5-03/SL

Record No: 1024/2/71 A

Date: 04/05/1999

Interrogators: Steve Lowry, James Striker

Suspect: Mr. Walter Smith.

[Paragraph break, interrogation record begins]

SMITH: What am I doing here? What do you want from me?

LOWRY: I'm the one who does the asking! Have you got that, Smith?

SMITH: Yes, yes, okay, no problem...

LOWRY: Don't talk unless you're spoken to, right? As for there being 'no problem'...I doubt that one. Where were you in the night of 13 February 1999?

SMITH: In my butcher's shop.

LOWRY: I see. Very well. So tell me, Smith: What does a butcher do in his butcher's shop in the dead of night...hours after closing time?

Cont. Second page:

SMITH: I was cleaning the place up.

LOWRY: Cleaning, eh? Very interesting. And you really expect me to believe that? Not many people get up to do their cleaning in the middle of the night...

SMITH: Well, you set the health authorities on me after the first time you questioned me.

LOWRY: Were you alone in your butcher's shop, Mr. Smith?

SMITH: Of course I was.

LOWRY: Of course you were. You wouldn't be so stupid as to let someone watch you cut up that poor devil's body into small pieces and place the meat in a tidy array in your shop window...

SMITH: Pardon me?!

LOWRY: Yes, that's what you did. And then you drove to North London to get rid of the bones. You came back and cleaned up your butcher's shop so there wouldn't be any clues left for us to find. That's right, isn't it?

SMITH: NO!

LOWRY: Oh, put a sock in it, Smith! You're not the first criminal we've faced here. It was the middle of the night, you were alone, you were seen in the vicinity of the first two crime scenes, you tried to cover up your deed, and you don't have an alibi for the time in question. Don't you realize you're well and truly in the soup?

SMITH: I don't know what you're talking about. You can't pin this on me.

LOWRY: Okay. Don't panic. Do you admit you're an expert when it comes to slicing meat?

Cont. Third page:

SMITH: Well, I...yes, of course, but...

LOWRY: I'm not finished! Do you also admit that the bones we showed you must have been treated by an expert?

SMITH: It looks that way, yes...

LOWRY: And do you admit that your business has been in such deep waters for the past year that you couldn't even pay the rent on your premises?

SMITH: Yes, that's true.

LOWRY: Well then. And then you had the brainwave of saving on the expensive beef by cutting up human beings and selling their flesh in your shop, didn't you? After all human flesh is free all it takes is a couple of murders.

SMITH: You must be mad!

LOWRY: No, my dear fellow...YOU are mad. You're a murderer who sells human flesh to unsuspecting old ladies, just to pay off your new TV set. But I'm telling you you're not going to get away with it. Striker, we've heard enough. Let's leave the rest to the public prosecutor.

SMITH: But you don't have a shred of concrete evidence...

LOWRY: The public prosecutor doesn't need concrete evidence, 'lawyer', all he needs is circumstantial evidence. And that's just what you're giving him. So, stop your whining. I'll see you in court.
