SEES RYOJI AU
After Ryoji finds his resolve through the Hero, he offers to join his team. He gives him a choice to go through a better, yet harder way to get through Tartarus, a way only he can access. It features new bosses, content, and a new spin of the final fight with Strega.
Contains: Art, battle stats, Theurgy, combat dialogue, Tartarus dialogue and banter, and more!
Full post under the cut:

This AU explores the idea that instead of Ryoji leaving for the last month, he offers to join the team as a temporary team member to lend his power to help SEES reach the remaining floors of Tartarus before he merges with Nyx. More events happen that prolong the time you spend together.
Ingame, it’s treated like a bonus mission and an addition to get to know Ryoji better during the aftermath of November.
As a new addition to the team, he’ll join SEES in the dorm and have his own version of FTEs with plant tending, movie watching, book reading and cooking. He’ll have interactions with other party members.
The player will also get to know more on his personal feelings as the Appriser. Through conversing with Ryoji, you learn in depth about Tartarus, and the player gets to see a more subdued side of him as he tries to come to terms with his identity.
He uses an evoker to trigger his form as Thanatos instead of using it to summon a Persona.
The player can choose to go through this route, or play the game like how it was originally set. The ending remains the same.
Party Stats:
Level: Scaleable, 2 levels higher
Element: Dark and Almighty
Weakness: None, reflects pierce damage
Combat style: Prioritizes debuffing, tank
Theurgy - Death’s Call: Deals massive almighty damage to all foes. Fears both enemies and allies.
Theurgy condition: When Ryoji sees his friends suffer a lethal blow, he feels determined to take vengeance.
Theurgy Personality bonus:
Chance to grant Arcana Burst even without completing your Major Arcana stack.
+ More damage to weak foes.
Inflicts distress to all foes in start of battle.
DIALOGUE:
Ryoji’s first Tartarus entrance dialogue:
Ryoji: - So this is Tartarus.
I, I can feel her. She’s keeping an eye on us. On me.
Remember that I’m here to help. Tartarus is Nyx’s realm, but I should know a better way to help you get to the top.
Keep in mind that I may not be as impenetrable while I’m here, and shadows will be a lot more hostile if we go this way. Are you sure you wanna do this?
MC:
> Nowhere to go but up.
> Let’s do this.
> Are you sure there’s no other way?
Don’t worry. Whatever‘s waiting for us, I won’t let anything happen to you. They’ll have to get through me first.
First Summon dialogue:
I have to do this. Everyone..I’m sorry for what you’re about to see.
Get out here, Thanatos!
Turning into Thanatos (Persona Summon)
If this is what it takes.
Please look away.
Thanatos!
Do what you must!
Combat
Shift dialogue:
All up to you!
We’re in this together!
Receiving end of shift dialogue:
I’m on it!
They’ll get what's coming to them.
Item use:
This will help, right?
Getting healed:
I don’t deserve this.
Death:
I-I hope it was enough.
Sorry..
AILMENTS
Distress
It’s over.. Why do we still try?
Confuse
Guys? What’s going on?!
Rage
Come on! Take me down if you can!
Charm
So, how about dinner?~
Down
You’re kidding me!
Shock
What is this?!
AOA
Before All Out Attack:
We’re going in!
Before splash art:
And that's how it's done!
Splash art Caption:
DEATH IS INEVITABLE
All Out Attack splash art line:
Pointless to deny your fate.
Basic victory dialogue:
I hope it was worth it.
Heh, how was that?
Battle aftermath:
That was impressive. You’re all amazing!
Stairs discovery
Found the stairs. There’s no time to lose!
Found the way up! You know best, leader.
Treasure
Ooh, something shiny!
Hey, guys! Found something useful? Maybe?
SEES advantage:
They never saw it coming!
Ambush / enemy advantage:
Leader, stay close to me!
Hit by crit:
That’s impossible!
SEES Tartarus dialogue w/Ryoji
Junpei: Hey, so.. Ryoji… What’s with the long scarf? And how do you not slip from it when you run?
Ryoji: I don’t think it’s that long!
Yukari: Seriously? Out of all the questions you can ask him, that’s what you go with?
—-
Mitsuru: For someone with no prior experience, you’ve been keeping up well, Ryoji-kun.
Ryoji: I’m glad you think so, Kirijo-senpai.
Akihiko: Don’t push yourself, though, alright?
—-
Junpei: Ryoji! Now that you live with us, we have got to continue the game we were playing!
Ryoji: I don’t think you’d want to…Didn’t I delete your save on accident?
Junpei: Eh, I wasn’t paying much attention to the story in the first place.
—-
Ryoji: I never got to thank you before for helping me settle in, Fuuka. How about I take you out?
Fuuka: Oh, of course! Let’s invite the others too!
Junpei: …Yikes, dude.
—-
Fuuka: I’ve always wanted to do karaoke with you all. You should join us, Ryoji-kun!
Ryoji: Oh, m-me...?
Junpei: Yeah, you’re always holed up in your room and we never know where you’re out at night! How about we sing our hearts out instead?
Ryoji: Ahh.. haha..I… I’ll think about it.
—-
Ryoji: *Humming Mass Destruction*
Aigis: Ryoji-san. Were you the one making those sounds?
Ryoji: Sorry! Makoto-kun and I were listening to some songs, and now I can’t get it out of my head.
—-
Ryoji: Aigis..About what happened before. I feel like I should apologize one more time.
Aigis: Instead of apologies, let’s make a promise. That we’ll see this through, together.
Ryoji: …Yeah. You’re right.
—-
Aigis: It’s strange. In the real world, you’re impenetrable. But in Tartarus...
Ryoji: Until the promised day, I’m an obstacle to Nyx. I wouldn’t put it past her to limit my power.
Mitsuru: So she was expecting this. Well, we just have to plan accordingly, then.
—-
Aigis: I decided to live, but…how do I even begin? How would I know?
Ryoji: I already sense life within you, Aigis. You’re doing more than enough.
—-
Ryoji: Wandering Tartarus must feel repetitive. Maybe I can try something! I can add some arcade machines?
Ryoji: Oh… but if I do that, Tartarus will just take it away again. *sigh* Nevermind, then.
Ken: Can.. Can you actually do that?!
Yukari: *sigh* Of course he can’t.
—-
Akihiko: How are you holding up, Mochizuki? Think you can still keep up?
Ryoji: Heh, that’s not even a question, Senpai.
—-
Ryoji: I hope I’m not bringing you guys down. What do you think, Koromaru-san?
Koromaru: *barks enthusiastically*
Fuuka: Hahaha. Koro-chan seems to enjoy your company!
—-
Yukari: Whew..! You guys notice the shadows have gotten…much more alert?
Akihiko: You’re right. It’s like we unlocked the deepest depths of Tartarus that Nyx didn’t want us to see.
—-
Junpei: Jeez Ryoji, you weren’t kidding. The shadows of this detour are a whole different monster!
Ryoji: I’m sorry, Junpei. But I promise it’s just a little longer.
Junpei: Who am I to back down from a challenge? This’ll be a piece of cake!
—-
Mitsuru: Are you settling in the dorm well, Ryoji-kun?
Ryoji: Oh. I am, thank you.
Mitsuru: Of course. Just let us know if you need anything.
—-
Ken: Did anyone hear footsteps in the boys’ dorm last night?
Yukari: Must have been Aigis sneaking to Makoto’s room, even if I told her to not leave past curfew…
Aigis: It was not me. I was out for my monthly checkup.
Yukari: Then… who was it?
Ryoji: It wasn’t me!
Yukari: No one said it was you!
—-
Ken: So, where have you been living before, well, all of this, Ryoji-senpai?
Ryoji: I-I actually don’t know. Anything outside of school and Makoto-kun becomes a blur.
Fuuka: Ryoji-kun…
—-
Ryoji: You’re amazing to lead such a capable team, Makoto-kun. You look good like this.
—-
Yukari: Ryoji-kun and I went thrift shopping the other day. It was actually pretty fun!
Ryoji: Thanks for taking me out, Takeba-san. I wanted that jacket, though..
Yukari: Unless you wanna blind someone with that thing, there’s no good reason to wear it!
Ryoji: *sighs sadly*
—-
Ryoji: There were so many couples on Paulownia Mall for Christmas Eve. It was lovely to see.
Junpei: Ooo, does our newest member have a special someone they have in mind?
Ryoji: I-I wouldn’t say that..
Junpei: Hahaha! You’re like a tomato right now, dude!
Ryoji: Hey, knock it off!
—-
Ryoji: Wait, you’ve reached past the 200th floor?! Akihiko: All in a day’s work. Everyone has been putting in their all.
—-
Akihiko: You’re hardly breaking a sweat. What’s your routine, Mochizuki?
Ken: I’m guessing it’s him not being human in the first place?
Akihiko: Ken, that’s not..!
Ryoji: It’s alright, I don’t mind. He has a point, though.
—-
Yukari: I won these chocolate bars, I brought them in case anyone wanted a snack. Want some?
Ryoji: Oh, that’s okay. I don’t eat sweets that much.
—-
Mitsuru: I have to say it was quite convenient for the Kirijo Group to have an extra weapon.
Ken: Yeah, and what’re the odds it was a scythe too?
Ryoji: Hahaha…. I guess.
—-
Koromaru *bark*
Aigis: Koromaru-san is asking that if you’re Death, what will that make of the Reaper?
Junpei: I bet Ryoji here can take him down, no problem!
Ryoji: I’d rather not stick around to find out. For your sakes.
—-
Ryoji: I was told you lost a close friend to the Dark Hour. I’m sorry for your loss.
Mitsuru: …Thank you, Ryoji-kun.
Akihiko: He’d want us to move forward. There’s no use dwelling in the past.
Ryoji: I guess you’re right. I’m here to help however I can.
—-
Koromaru: *bark bark*
Junpei: Hey… you think Koromaru sensed Ryoji’s true identity?
Ken: Oh, do you mean because of dogs’ intuition to ghosts and spirits?
Fuuka: I don’t think Ryoji-kun’s just any ghost though..!
—-
Ryoji: Hey Takeba-san. Can I ask you something?
Yukari: I swear, if it’s you trying to ask me out again…
Ryoji: Oh, that’s not what I was gonna- Wait, do you want me to? Because-
Mitsuru: -I think I saw something important there, leader. Let’s check it out.
Ryoji: This feels too familiar.
—-
Junpei: Kyoto was so fun! School trips should happen more often.
Yukari: *glare*
Junpei: Eep!
Ryoji: Ah-! I-I swear, that wasn’t our intention! It was all a misunderstanding! Leader, tell her!
—-
SP LOW:
Mitsuru: Ryoji-kun. Make sure not to strain yourself.
Ryoji: I’m fine, please don’t worry. I can’t let up in front of a pretty girl like you, now can I?
—-
Fuuka: Leader… Ryoji seems tired.
—-
If Makoto has low SP:
Ryoji: You don’t look good…Please, pace yourself. I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you.
FTEs: (WIP)
