today three years ago was the day my life changed for better or worse I remember very vividly the moment I was minding my own damn business in the living room and my dad booted up this godforsaken game and all I had to say was 'oh it's another persona game I like its music choice' and I looked at this idiot made up of three polygons straight in the eyes. theoretically. if he didn't wear a hat that obscured his face in every single ps2 limited camera angle possible. then felt something silently and so fervently change inside me like a bomb was planted in my brain that would not explode until a less than a month from that day

What We Know About Luce

(last updated 3/29/25!)

Shouki Ikenami, codename Luce, is a third-year student at Kiga High, and a stage actor in their drama department. He's very popular among the students at Kokatsu Academy for his looks.

He will join the team in Chapter 4 of the main story.

His files are named with the codename "Enco" instead of his canon codename Luce. The exact significance of this, if any, is unknown.

Shouki will presumably be a Confidant of Wonder's, likely to be added when the fourth chapter of the main story ends.

In the story prior to Chapter 4, Shouki first appears the day after Wonder awakens his Persona. Shouki happens to ride the same train that Wonder is taking to school, and Wonder overhears two gossiping Kokatsu girls refer to him as a “good-looking guy”, then recognize him as "Ikenami-kun". He doesn’t visibly react to their gossip in any way, and is only shown reading his book for the entire scene.

He later appears on the same train that Wonder, Ruferu, and Motoha are taking to Shinjuku, for their celebratory dinner after Kiuchi's change of heart. He shows no reaction to anything they say or do, and faces away from them the whole time.

Later, in Chapter 4, it seems he's been cast as a major role in the co-production between Kiga and Kokatsu's drama departments, a stageplay based on the Phantom Thief Family manga. The Phantom Thieves are introduced to him by Aran, and at some point he ends up in the Metaverse with them, eventually awakening his Persona and joining the team. He presumably has some connection with Takami Shimotsuna, the fourth Palace's ruler, though the details are currently unknown.

Little is known about Shouki's personality so far, but it seems his awakening will have something to do with being true to himself.

Aside from that, some additional information revealed about him is that he's Japanese/Italian. His parents are famous actors, and were stage actors in high school (like Shouki is now), which may have influenced his “mysterious and artistic temperament”.

His Persona's identity is currently unknown, but he was shown in the 4.0 trailer. Given he's a story teammate, it seems most likely that his element will be either Physical, Nuclear, Psychokinesis, Bless, or Curse, given these are the elements not currently covered by another story teammate.

In combat, his melee weapon is a sword, while his ranged weapon is currently unknown.

Propaganda under the cut!

Knights of the Round: "Think of it like A3!’s Final Fantasy. There’s around 10-15 games if I remember correctly, one of the characters is obsessed with it, and it’s a fantasy rpg loosely based on King Arthur. In A3!, the Spring Troupe gets contacted to put on a stageplay version of the fourth game, making it the only one with a fully realized plot."

Featherman: "it's like power rangers basically. one of the persona 3 cast is actually revealed to get hired as an actor for it. uhh they're all bird themed. it's been around since the og persona games. apparently it's important in persona 2 but im not that far in yet. i dont know the obscure lore about this show sadly."

Mod Note: Adamantly advocating for the A3! fans

persona fun facts :o? can be from any game!

totally not copy-pasted from dms FUN FACTS BRIGADE (also i cut it in half with a readmore bc its. a lot)

Ann is the tallest girl among the Phantom Thieves, santing at 5'5! (In my head she is taller than Ren but shh)

If you take the thieves to darts, the worst player in the gang is surprisingly not Morgana, but Sumire! Don't ask me how she's worse than a cat!

In P5 (including royal), Ann is the only romance option to directly say "I love you" to the protagonist without cutting herself off* (and, i'm half sure, she's one of the few direct kisses a protagonist receives in a persona game) and honestly? good for them ily ann im so gay for her *Sumire says it too, even before being romanced, but it's not a complete "i love you", per se. She stutters through her confession and Ren has to finish it for her because she's so flustered, which is pretty cute i'll be real but in terms of Saying it, it technically doesn't count.

Sho Minazuki (yknow, the guy from the arena games) was originally meant to be the protagonist for P5! This is massively implied in ending dialogue for the Arena games, as well as how similar the two look if you, like, dye his hair black. Also if you recall the original Femc for P5 with the neon red hair…

Sumire lives with her dad, that much is obvious, but the Royal artbook reveals she also lives with her grandma and her mother!

Among all the non-party-member confidants in P5 (including royal), only 5 find out Ren's identity as a Phantom Thief through something else other than a mementos request. These are Maruki, Yoshida, Sojiro, Mishima, and Sae

The Featherman series is a Power Rangers style anime that airs in the inner universe of the series. Contrary to what the Dancing games make us believe, There's always only 5 Feather soldiers that are part of the main crew: Pink Argus, Red Hawk, Black Condor, Yellow Owl, and Blue Swan. These names, however, are sometimes interchanged between "generations" of the show.

Actually lemme go on a tangent (you asked for fun facts you're GETTING fun facts) There are three generations of the Featherman show to date: OG Featherman (persona 2), Featherman R (Persona 3), and Featherman V (P4 and the Arena games). There's actually a change in the naming semantics every new generation of Featherman. For example, take this excerp from the wiki: "Red Eagle (from Featherman), Feather Hawk (from Featherman R and/or Neo Featherman), Feather Red (from Featherman V)" So in P2, the naming convention is "[Color] [Bird name]", in P3 it's "Feather [bird name]" and in P4 it's "Feather [color]"

Ok tangent over don't ask me how i know so much about a fictional series from a fictional game JSVGEFVR more fun facts

Sumire actually has the biggest amount of portrait sprite variations, since it includes her Kasumi and her Sumire sprites. She deserves it tbh, fashion icon

Another Sumire fact! Did you know Maruki "transformed" sumi into her sister on her birthday? I sure did! Fuck you Maruki!! Uninvited from MY birthday party for sure

Sumire, piror to the third semester, is only ever called by her last name, Yoshizawa, by everyone aside from Ren, Morgana and Futaba. This is a very a subtle way to show something's up with her and i gasped when i first found out about it.

Ok fine enough P5 facts have a P3 fact. It's kinda well known im pretty sure but Makoto Yuki's barrage of official names include, also, Sakuya Shiomi from the stageplay. Sakuya means "blossom" or "bloom". Hey do you recall that he dies in March 5th? yknow, when spring starts? Cherry trees. you get it

Back to P5, Tactica reveals that Haru used to indulge in chopping firewood when she was younger. Her dad didn't like that for her, but he never tried to stop her. This probably leads to her having an Axe as part of her Phantom Thief artillery.

Did you know Fuuka and Futaba actually become friends in the Dancing games? They sadly don't remain friends after losing their memories post-game but Fuuka knew her as Alibaba, and Futaba knew her as Lucia :) I hope they became friends online again

In the jazz jin in Royal, Futaba reveals that the retro console you use to play games was hers, and that she'd sold it to the shop in Yongen. Also apparently the busted laptop you buy there was Haru's! (fact also revealed in the Jazz Jin)

Day 1 - Fated Meeting

[houndfaker]

someone to stand beside you

[kumakuma-circus]

those newsona mc name polls i did are beary interesting to me cuz i,,, don't really see the results for the p3 mcs' polls reflected in the fandom? i see minato used way more than makoto or sakuya. femc's names are more equal but i do think i see minako used slightly more.

but according to those polls it seems to be the complete opposite.

admittedly i assume that the bias towards minato and minako being used is because makoto is a pretty recent canon name (the first p3 movie came out in 2013, seven years after p3's initial release) and i'd imagine the headcanon of the p3 mcs being twins makes people more likely to use a name that matches makoto's for kotone.

also shoutout to just how close the p5 mc poll ended up.
