#persona 6 hikaru iyashi

[personaconcept]

Was fucking around on the internet, found this group chat creator, decided to roll with it. This conversation was one I'd played around with some time ago.

I don't think I've revealed it before, but yes, their group would be called The Dásos Society! This is probably not how the conversation would go in story, hopefully getting to this point BEFORE Shinju, though not a guarantee. With each new character they would try a different name, but I think Masahiko would probably broach the idea of a society as soon as he was asked for an opinion.

Persona 6, anyone?

PERSONA 6 CONCEPT PART 1

You ever just get an idea that you HAVE to put into words? Well, that happened. And now I have put myself into a miserable position considering I’m not on the Atlus team. And you all have to suffer with me.

Before I get into this, check out this video because it’s where most of my ideas, the grounds for me thinking about this in the first place, started from. With that in mind, I changed a few things because I didn’t like them or thought they didn’t make the greatest sense. With that out of the way, click to read more if you’d like to see what I’ve come up with! (Very long, mind you)

I do recommend you watch the video first because there’s a lot my brain just decided that the reader should KNOW, and it’d be hard to amend what I’ve written at this point.

The Mechanics

Main Character - This time around, you’ll be able to choose between being male and female. For a new spin, you will be a third year.

Battle - Battle mechanics will remain the same as Persona 5, including negotiations, baton pass, and Shadow negotiations. 

Romance - With both male and female options for a main character, there are male and female options for love interests. Out of the 22 Major Arcana, there are 10 available love interests. 5 male, 5 female. You will be able to date everyone, no matter your gender.

Harem Romance - Unlike previous games, if you date more than one person, there is the chance of them coming together to make it a triad, allowing for group dates. However, if you choose to date all ten love interests, none of them will be happy with you. It also requires select grouping to allow for triads. Moon-Sun; Magician-Lovers; Hierophant-Tower; Star-Death; Hanged-Devil. If you manage to date both before select days and get the communication across to form the triad, there may be special scenes to include both (ex: school trip, Valentine’s, Christmas, school festival, ect)

The Velvet Room - It’s a hospital this time around. That’s really all I’ve got to say on it for now.

Setting

Characters

MC - Will be able to choose your gender. As a girl, her placeholder name is Hikari Iyashi, derived from the ‘light’ meaning for Hikari and ‘healing’ for Iyashi. As a male, the place holder name will be Hikaru Iyashi for the same reasons. Unlike previous MC’s, this MC is a third year. They moves to a small town to live with their estranged father and younger sister, two people they has not seen since before they can remember, after their mother’s tragic death due to an incurable illness. If you are male, it will be commented that you look like your mother, while if you are female, they will comment about your similarities to you father. It will be exclaimed that after the MC’s parents separated, their mother took back her maiden name and changed the MC’s to that to avoid confusion while they were growing up. Their first Persona will use wind and healing spells. This Persona is possible to be either Achelois or Persephone, and whichever one it isn’t, will likely be a Persona you can later pick up.

The bright red of her hair often subjects her to bullying, and is part of the reason for her anxiety.

Hana-chan - A very pretty second year at the high school. Unfortunately, she’s a right bitch and one of Hoshiko’s bullies. 

Asuka Himura - An old classmate of Akemi’s who also goes to university. She seems polite enough, but made some snide, pointed, and extremely rude comments about Akemi that really put her down. “Oh my, Sonoda-chan, you’ve really lost weight! You’re not fat and stupid anymore! Well, maybe not fat.” Also a bitch.

Ryūnosuke Oshiro - The father of Masahiko. He’s hot-headed, stubborn, and it’s easy to see where Masahiko got his entitled streak. He shows up just as Masahiko starts enjoying his time in the country (and feelings are evidently being felt) and intends to fuck everything up. 

Lucius/Gilbert - He will be the Velvet Room attendant this time around. He’s anything but serious, and a total flirt. He will unabashedly flirt with the MC no matter the gender every time they enter the Velvet Room. When they first wake up in the Velvet Room, the MC will be woken by a kiss, to which he will teasingly ask if it was their first. I just haven’t decided on a name.

Tomomi Miyamoto - A fellow student who offers to walk the MC to school that first day. He is the second death because of the virus, and what sets the MC off to go battle the Shadows of the Plague. He is also a good friend of Natuski and Miyako. It’s implied in either Natsuki’s or Yato’s links that he was the only other one to know that Natsuki and Yato are one in the same.

Plot/Playthrough

The first cutscene of the game will start off with a flashforward/nightmare. It’s in the other world, at the edge of a cliff. Everything is painted in blacks and dark greens and is completely in ruin. A large, panning shot shows this all off. The view tilts up to look away from the edge of the cliff and The Plague comes to a stand still, appearing smug as all fuck (though his face is hidden behind his mask). He will mock the person across from him, asking if this was what they desired, if they were happy with their work. He certainly is. After all, they are the cause of all this. The camera will shift, and all that’s seen is the back of the MC, merely a black shadow in the darkness.

And then the MC wakes up on the bus. 

Scenery passes by as it’s shown the only two people on the bus are the MC and the bus driver, and passing farm fields. 

The bus will quickly come to a stop and the MC gets off on the bus stop. They look at their phone, a message telling them to wait there to be picked up. So they sit, and they wait. And they wait. And it’s dark before a car pulls up and the window rolls down. Yuuki pokes his head out and calls for the MC to get in.

Not a lot is discussed on the way to the house, just Yuuki explaining that he had to go to set up at the school before the semester started and din’t get finished until late, and also him reprimanding the MC for not trying to contact him when it started getting too late. 

Once at the house, you’ll meet Haruka and Shinju, both trying a little too hard to welcome you into the house. The next morning, Yuuki will take you to the school to meet the other teachers and get signed up. This is where you’ll input your chosen name.

After you’re freed from your father while he finishes things up, you’ll meet Tomomi Miyamoto, a neighbor. He is in the theater club and happy-go-lucky. After a while of talking and Tomomi showing you around the school, your father will drop the two of you off back home, and Tomomi promises to make sure you get to school alright the next day. 

He does so the next morning. Drops you off at your classroom before heading to his own. Introductions are made and blah blah blah. At lunch you’re assaulted by Sayaka Ito, a girl who sits close to you in class. She says that you’re lucky to have gotten the protagonist seat and blah blah blah. And because of certain seating arrangements, she’s totally supposed to be your best friend. She also points out that due to anime seating arrangements, Yūdai Shinoda is supposed to be your love interest, but the reasons for why that likely won’t hold up will differ from gender to gender. (If you’re a guy, it will be stated it’s because you’re both boys, but you’ll have the option to say you’re into men too)

Anyway, now that the day’s over, you’ll go home with Tomomi. Once Yuuki and Shinju come home, Haruka will talk about the news she heard that day while she was cleaning. The virus going around the town seems to have doubled overnight. It slightly worries Haruka at the quick spread, but Yuuki isn’t bothered, saying that the virus has been around for years and if nothing, it’s only making the people of the town more immune and stronger for it. Haruka relents, but still reminds Yuuki to wear his face mask when he goes out because of his weak immune system in the first place.

The next day, the whole town is abuzz with the news that an old lady died. She suddenly got very sick, symptoms of the virus harsher than ever, but no one really minds too much. After all, she was old, and it couldn’t be the sickness. No one’s died from it before. She was going to die soon anyway.

As the MC and Tomomi walk to school together, everything seems to darken, like a cloud passes over the sun blots out the light. Everyone looks like nothing more than still-frame shadows, a bright green orb floating over their chests. The MC looks over to Tomomi and sees that his is tinged in black, and vine like tendrils are reaching for the center of the orb. 

Tomomi shakes MC out of the daze and everything goes back to normal. He smiles at the MC before coughing but claiming he’s fine, he just forgot his face mask. He tells the MC they’ll need to get one too, because they’re ‘the fashion accessory of the country.’ 

Sayaka meets MC in the classroom and the day goes forward as school would… save for the fact that Yūdai has the same blackened orb as Tomomi. After school, Sayaka drags MC out to town for treats and points out several different places to hang out. The Mom-and-Pop Shop that acts as a burger joint, cafe, and icecream parlor. The antique shop. The music store. The bookshop. The dojo. 

Then Sayaka drags the MC to the forest and off the beaten path with the intent of showing them her favorite place. Unfortunately, her short cut gets them lost. Fortunately, the MC is apparently attracted by pretty things and follows a glowing blue butterfly that leads them to a magnificent waterfall (which Sayaka now proclaims that this is her favorite spot). 

The butterfly leads them down a path to under the waterfall. In the cave is ten doors of all different colors. Red, blue, purple, green, white, yellow, pink, black, gold, and silver (not necessarily in that order). There is also a large round table with eight seats around it in the middle of the cave.

The butterfly flies through one of the doors (any but the blue and black will do) and it swings open. The other side of the door will be… something very, very strange. It will act as this game’s “Palace.” 

They go in, end up confronting The Plague, who is in the middle of doing something… sinister. They barely make it out alive, only doing so through pure luck and the MC awakening their first Persona. But they have no clue what happened, and it’s confusing as fuck, and it’s kinda just agreed that they’re not going to talk to anyone about it. So they part ways and go home. 

In another scene, we see Tomomi start coughing and choking and nothing is able to help. He pulls his hands away from his mouth, and they are absolutely covered in blood. He collapses on the ground as people shout around him. But it’s too late. The next morning, the MC will receive the news that Tomomi is dead.

But first, they will dream.

They’ll be woken up by a kiss to this dream world, Igor’s assistant giggling and backing away to go stand by Igor, who sits behind a desk to the far side of the room. The MC will sit up, only to find themselves in a hospital bed and in hospital clothes and hooked up to an IV. Confusion may be expressed at this point. 

Igor goes on to explain the Velvet Room and everything and such, and how he didn't expect there to be another visitor so soon. He’s a cryptid as ever, but explains that The Plague will be a deadly force if he’s allowed to continue, and he requests the player to stop him, now that the MC has awoken their Persona. No matter if you say yes or no, the game will continue. The Velvet Room dream ends with Igor’s assistant blowing you a kiss and a wink and a key in the MC’s hand.

The next morning, everyone receives the news that Tomoni died in the hospital last night, due to the virus in town. Sayaka will drag you back to the waterfall from the day before, claiming that the thing The Plague was messing with before looked like Tomomi. She wants to go back and figure out why. 

So you do, shit happens, Sayaka awakens her own Persona so you’re not fighting alone anymore. This will also be the day you meet an injured Avis and discover a shape that looks like Yūdai. Avis will not fight, but she will help guide you in the coming fight and out of the door. 

Explanations will be made about the The Plague, you’ll investigate the doors and the cave and find that the black door has eight key holes, and is extremely locked. So in there is where Avis needs to go. Like, desperately. Doesn’t know what’s beyond it, only that that’s where The Plague makes his base, and it needs to go. So the MC and Sayaka agree to go and try to find the keys to open the door.

Shit happens, as it does, with Sayaka talking to you during class and within earshot of Yūdai (about him) and the Shadow and his corrupted core (that she can now see due to her awakened Persona). They gotta save him, she says, so what happened to Tomomi doesn’t happen to him. He overhears, ends up going after them to figure out what’s going on. 

And I’ll end this here because you don’t want the entire thing in one post, do you?

If people are interested, I’ll even make a part 2. (Edit: Guess what? I made a Part 2)

So, I've been thinking about the plain black masks I gave the team. I think I should probably think about getting different options for them. Thought I'd source out to what you guys think. I'd probably give each character just a few designs, two or three more for the main team. I'll get to side characters after a time.

But for now, let's start with our MCs! Don't know who I'm talking about? Well, follow the links and take a look, then come on back. I'll keep it simple for options, and probably keep them having identical masks, but tell me specifics if you'd like!

[personaconcept]

Could you give more depth to the social links,most of them only Focus on Their disease

Well, for most, I don't have a solid idea. But I can give an idea for what's going on for the main cast, and a couple others. And I'll focus on just their links with the MC (if you'll reference the post the other day about everyone having links with others as well), because I haven't actually come up with ideas for those sorts of links yet.

Sayaka and Yudai aren't hard set yet. For Sayaka it's because any big, character defining moments would happen near the end of the story, in association to her dungeon. I imagine for her, it would be very vague allusions to how she felt going through so many foster families. Yudai's will prooooobably focus on teaching the MC to cook, helping out at his family's diner, how he's different from the expectation of him. (In the way that the natural perception of big people is that they're lazy, uncool, etc.)

Miyako's I have a little clearer picture of. The first rank is story unlocked right after her dungeon, and you find out about her older brother committing suicide six years earlier due to his own mental issues. Throughout the links, one of Miyako's aunts comes to Kamida to try to convince her to move to the city to be with her distant family. Miyako debates on it, until she finds out why her parents never had contact with their extended family. They're terrible people, basically, and didn't want their children to grow up around that. So she stays in Kamida.

Masahiko is another one that I'm not totally sure of the entire thing yet. I think I'd like it to explore his relationship with his dad, and the comparison there. Masahiko is a narcissist, but it was something encouraged when he was younger and now, after his dungeon, he's actively seeking help. His father on the other hand does the whole "I'm in the right, everyone is wrong, everything has to go my way or no way at all) gaslighting thing. Masahiko was on the receiving end of that in his childhood now, and despite his 'holier-than-thou" attitude towards most everyone else, he's very... timid isn't the right word, but it's close enough, when next to his father. Though, now taking a second look on various social links in the different Persona games, that might just be subtext through various social links.

Hoshiko's is going to have her dealing with her bullies. Getting manipulated into doing others' homework, taking over their cleaning duties, giving them money, free items from her father's store. By the end of it, Hoshiko stands up for herself.

For Jun, I'm thinking he goes to the MC, asking them to come over to his house and lie to his siblings for him. He's trying to make his older brother worry less about him. He keeps his princely persona up even at home, to avoid his brother worrying about him. Until his latest stint that got him suspended, his brother had been under the assumption that Jun was a well behaved, straight A student. He wants you to back up his story about that. Throughout it you find out the fight that actually got him suspended from school was started because some jerks were harassing a mama bird and her eggs, throwing bricks at them and shit, and managing to break a couple before Jun stopped them. While his reaction was totally out of line, seeing that had triggered his explosive episode. (Jun was very protective of these birds. I haven't come up with the reason for that yet) Anyway, by the end of his link with the MC, he comes clean to his brothers on what really transpired and what goes on during school. To which both brothers are like "Yeah, we already knew, you knucklehead." Jun's apologies to the people he needs to apologize to will happen in their own separate links. Which I will get to in just a minute.

In Shinju's link, the MC starts out tasked to help her with general, everyday things. Getting up to the classroom on the third floor, getting through the admittedly cramped house they live in, going grocery shopping. But while Shinju does admit to certain things she's scared of (being caught on the third floor of the school if it catches on fire, being her biggest fear), she's not invalid. There's plenty she can do on her own and doesn't need help for, no matter what other people say. This one isn't about Shinju learning anything about herself, it's just proving to everyone else what she already knows. This one I've mentioned is story locked, ranking up on certain days after you've completed certain events. And right near the end of it is her dungeon, in which she is rewarded with a more practical wheelchair, specifically made for her, making it even easier to get around and do things on her own. During one of the ranks, the MC moves some of the kitchen things around so Shinju can reach them better, but that's all I've got on specificies. (If you haven't been ranking up with Yudai at all and getting his cooking lessons, she'll tease you for being a better cook than you.)

Avis/Baby Avis are functionally two different characters... except for this. They'll both take the MC to explore the Endless Forest, explaining Shadows and Corruptions and trying to find the source of the MC's unique healing ability. One of the paths they take will lead to seeing the other MC in passing, though no direct conversation. (Depending on when you play through that link, a new player might not yet know the MC used to have a twin and the other one is dead) Nearing the end, like at the 7th rank, you'll also meet a girl who's a few decades from the past. She isn't a Persona user, but found she has a similar ability to the MC's. She's also been looking for the answer, and swears to meet the two of you again once she find it. However, she isn't there in rank 8, nor in rank 9. Rank 9 all you'll find is a note nailed to a tree, signed with the letter M. There's not much to learn about Avis herself. She's a phoenix. She was born and reborn in the Endless Forest. She's a guide for Persona users like the MC, those specially chosen. But she is one and only and cannot be everywhere at once, hence the reason she's only appeared in front of this MC.

I don't really have a clear cut thing for... really any of the side characters with the MC, but as I was writing these down, ideas for some side social links came to me, so I'll those here.

Hoshiko/Jun: After their unfortunate fallout in middle school, they've struggled to reconnect, especially after Jun's poor attitude after Hoshiko rejects him. Jun starts out with an apology. Several times. Because Hoshiko is too scared of him at first to believe him. Then there's the eventual awkward rekindling. Then an event that sparks Hoshiko's hidden nagging/sarcastic streak, and something from Jun's side too but it's late and I don't know. After that, they're back to being good friends.

Shinju/Jun: Shinju is one of the few people Jun has never been a dick to. He routinely is the one to carry her to her classroom at the beginning of the day. Despite the fact they don't act much like friends until Jun joins the team, he's not a dick. Which is to say, their social link doesn't start off with him apologizing. And when I say "never been a dick" I mean "never before this social link" because he does call Shinju out for "acting weak and helpless when that's bullshit" in a not so nice way. Theirs is a lot of... back and forth, nothing really deep. Some hangouts between rekindled friends. (I think this one would be locked until Hoshiko does accept his apology and forgives him, because despite having never done anything to Shinju, Hoshiko is her best friend)

Miyako/Jun: Miyako wants Jun to help her study, because he's consistently the first in class grade wise. Jun says he's never studied a day in his life, so he's no help. Miyako finds out this is true after a failed study session, in which Jun ends up failing their next quiz because of, proving it did the opposite effect. Miyako ends up having to teach Jun how to study and apply himself, while Jun is doing his own teaching of "it's really not that deep"

Jun/Masahiko: Assholes being assholes to each other. Jun tries to out-asshole Masahiko with his princely person, but Masahiko is actually that elegant and eloquent, so ends up failing. So they end up going to head to head with their own unique brand of assholery. Masahiko finds a new appreciation for Jun's true self (and perhaps a little crush) if cards are played right, as Jun does go and chew out Masahiko's dad for the way he treats Masahiko. (This would probably be the only time something like that happens, as in Masahiko's link with the MC, Masahiko would confront his dad himself)

And... yeah. That's all I've go floating around right now. They need refined, some need thought off. If you think of these in forms of drafts, this is Draft 0. General, mostly nonsensical ideas. I hope that was somewhat satisfactory.

[personaconcept]

Revisiting Social Links

"Art imitates art." YES. Irrefutable fact. Very few things these days are fully one's own creation. That being said, let's restructure a previous idea I had. With some context.

Lately, I recently bought a switch, and with it, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It's a lovely game, I love the music, story, characters designs (could have done without the bits that reminded me too much of religious trauma and could have much more gay, but one step at a time). But what I especially loved was that the characters got to have relationships with each other outside of the main character or off screen scenes.

I would like it to be the same for Genesis. I wouldn't go as far as having full social links for every character, especially since some of them already have history with each other so relationships don't need established. But I'd like to give them each at least five ranks.

I hear in earlier Fire Emblem games, relationships between characters could be made and have an impact on story. The one who's wiki I looked into even had children appearing in game (I do not remember which game this was). Of course, Genesis doesn't take place over a period long enough for that to happen, but that's besides the point.

The point is: If I did go down this route, with the confidants also having social links with each other, where they are in your social link will influence the ones they have with others. And in turn, where they are in that social link will influence the main story. In subtle ways. For example, not doing a Masahiko/Miyako social link would have them at odds for the entirety of the story, but going all the way through it, they'd still make snide remarks at each other, but it would be more teasing and fond than otherwise.

Speaking of the end, some characters will have the opportunity to confess to other social links. Considering that everyone in the main team gets close to each other, anyone could reasonably end up with everyone. But some of the characters could end up with other social links instead. Using Miyako again, she could possibly end up with Natsuki or Yota. Instead of doing the Fire Emblem thing of "first come first serve" or "whoever has the highest rank", let me give you an example of what I'd do, because I think that'll get the point across best.

Let's say you go through Hoshiko and Shinju's confidant link. At the end Hoshiko confesses. Instead of an immediate answer, Shinju would ask for some time to think about it. Depending on when the rank was done (day or night), Shinju would either ask you later that day or the next what she should do. Depending on your answer of accept or don't accept, Shinju would respond to Hoshiko accordingly, and their final rank would change. with them becoming girlfriends or staying friends. And that would happen for all characters, unless one is already dating, in which case, the confession scene wouldn't happen at all, so there's no need for the question to be asked.

But I supposed this also begs the question of: how does the harem fit into all this? And, shocker, it doesn't. I was never fond of the harem idea anyway? Like, it kinda weirded me out. And the idea I had never really fit into the Persona style anyway, in my opinion, so, no harems. Poly is still possible, though. Once you get into a relationship, you're in that relationship, so you have to think carefully about that first. But you can join a couple who have already gotten together.

Realistically, I don't know how feasible this is, but I did like the idea of this. Of the characters growing closer to each other without outside influence… for the most part. You still get a degree of control in who dates who. Though it might come across as annoying for your team to consistently come asking you for relationship advice, think about the fact lots of characters don't come until later in the story. Sayaka and Yudai are the first two team members you meet. If a relationship just happens without your input, either you end up dating one of them or they'll probably end up with each other before you can get either of them ranked up with anyone else.

And before anyone disagrees with this idea, it would also give more screen time to characters who don't get a lot in the beginning because they come later. Imagine if they'd had this system in Persona 5 and Haru would have been able to be explore more thoroughly. Or Akechi or Futaba or Sojiro. Pick your poison, really.

But anyway, that's all for this rant, thanks for humoring me.

Once again, a gigantic thank you to @ichigomaniac​ for doing such an amazing job, on this work and all of the previous ones. You’re an amazing artist.

I’ll end this here before I get too sappy. So Merry Christmas to all, and Happy Holidays to boot!

Script Teaser

So I’ve mentioned several times how I’m WORKING on the script, but I don’t really have a lot to show for it, ya know? So I thought I could share little teasers of what I’ve got, just to prove that I’ve got ‘em. I’ve also got a bit of an announcement at the bottom, if you wanna look out for that.

Opening scene

You’ll notice throughout this that everything that pertains to the male MC is bolded. This is guide home that this is really written with a female MC in mind, and the male is the extra.

Day 1

As of this moment, you wouldn’t have been able to choose your name yet, hence the Girl/Boy usage. I might eventually do some minor rewrites to change this.

Day 2

We have a moment between your father and Tomomi. I kinda really like both of these characters.

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

That’s all I’ve got for ya for teasers, but now onto my announcement!

******************************************************************************************

I’m looking for help. That’s... yeah, that’s basically about it. That about sums it up. I went into this being like “Oh, it shouldn’t be too hard, right? Get the characters, write the script. We’ll just skim over battles and focus on story, make it a VN! It’ll be easy!” Guess what it’s not?

Okay, joke aside, there seem to be several people who are interested in this, and if it got any further, I’m sure the interest would grow. Hence, I don’t want to leave people disappointed. This decision to ask for help is influenced by two major things, both of which I had been pretty excited for at one point. 

The first is a certain game about a yandere we will not go into further detail about, but it fueled my desire to actually want to finish this... and not take ten years to get the first part out. That would be lame.

The other is, very specifically, a post I saw from someone who had complaints about the Yosuke romance mod for Persona 4 Golden. It talked about how the modder wasn’t listening to people, and how it felt wrong to have a straight person writing a gay romance. 

This got me to thinking about the different characters I have, and their mental illnesses. The only one I would feel completely okay with writing would be Miyako, who is ace and has depression, both of which I can understand. I can also understand insomnia, anxiety, obesity, and inferiority, having experienced all of those at one point in my life or another. But things ADHD, DID, anger issues, bulimia, physical disabilities... I have no clue, and I want people who have experienced those to have the best representation, so I think someone who does have those would be the best choice to write those characters.

Things I would still be doing if I got help in this matter:

- Writing, of course. I have some outlines for social links, and I would prefer that they were stuck to, but with communication, things could be changed around. An emphasis on communication so things don’t contradict.

- Getting art. I think like, actual emotions from each character is out of the question at the moment (will be gotten to eventually), but I want to get a basic lineup like I’ve done for previous characters for all the social links. Backgrounds would probably come next after that.

- After a while, I want to find a music composer to write songs for this. The ones I really want are the opening, ending, and themes for the two MCs. 

Things I have no idea how to do:

- Actually make a visual novel. I’m going to play around and keep people updated, but if I can’t figure it out... I may just end up finding someone to do the technical stuff for me.

- ...Actually work with a team to do this. If you do want to help me, know that I have no idea what I’m doing. Whenever I was given the option of working in a group project or working alone, I usually worked alone. So, uh, yeah.

Anyways, thank you for reading this far into my rambling, so thanks a bunch. Until next time!

Persona 6 Concept: Male Protagonist

All the wonderful art for this project goes to @ichigomaniac​ and many thanks for doing such an amazing job on it.

Master Post

Placeholder Name: Hikaru Iyashi

Grade: High school 3rd year

Persona: Achelois (will use wind and healing spells)

Melee Weapon: Mace

Ranged Weapon: Bow

Master Post

[personaconcept]

I was making a list of characters of this version of Persona 6. I was looking in the introduction paragraph of “Entering the game” with the character’s name and confidant. I also looked at their profile. I noticed that Jun doesn’t have a persona name. I tried to look at his bio but it doesn’t say what his persona is.

Can you tell me what’s Jun’s persona is? I hope I’m not missing anything.

Here’s a list I’ve made for the characters (it’s only their Persona, Skills and weapons)

MC (Hikaru Iyashi)/FeMC (Hikari Iyashi)

Transferred students, 3rd year

Persona: Achelois or Persephone

Skill: Healing

Melee: Mace

Ranged: Bow/crossbow

Sayaka Ito

Also a transferred student, 3rd year

Skills: Ice and physical

Persona: Atlanta

Melee: Axe

Ranged: Dual wield pistols

Shinju Kawaguci

Mc’s little sister but is disabled, 1st year

Persona: Hephaestus

Skills: Fire, buff

Melee: Her chair

Ranged: Cannon

Masahiko Oshiro

A Rich, transferred student due to his father not liking his greedy and arrogance behavior, 2nd year

Persona: Pluto (Roman god of the underworld and wealth)

Skills: Navigation

(Idk if he should have a weapon since he’s the navigator)

Miyako Fujimori

A student having trouble coping with depression and having suicidal thoughts, 2nd year

Persona: Osias

Skills: Curse, ailment

Melee: Sais

Ranged: Throwing knives

Jun Sanada

Dude who gets violent when someone rejects him (let’s just say that he was introduced as an asshole with anger issue.), 2nd year

Melee: Chain

Ranged: Slingshot

Yūdai Shinoda

He’s an overweight student who eats a lot, but he’s trying to get healthy, 3rd year

Persona: Hidaru-gami

Skills: Nuclear and debuff

Melee: Kopis

Ranged: Blowdart

Hoshiko Akiyama

She’s a red hair girl who suffers from (extreme) social anxiety, she uses her kindness but she become hateful to most people, 1st year

Persona: Cerberus

Skills: Physics

Melee: Dagger

Ranged: Sniper Rifle

It all looks pretty good given the information previous provided. Some of the information will be changed a little once I get to the full profiles and artwork for certain character, but it’s looking good right now. 

Jun’s Persona is Lytta, spelled as Lyssa in Entering the Game, though I’ll be using Lytta from now on. She is the Greek goddess of rage and rabies. He uses electric and almighty spells. 

[personaconcept]

Outfits and Menu

Master Post

Was messing around and tried to make my vision of a start-up menu for Persona 6. The characters I used are only stand ins until I can get all my character art bought.

And now, I have made some more outfits for the main characters! I also have some for the rest of the confidants, but I’m going to wait to put all of those on a separate post.

Hikari & Hikaru Iyashi Theater Costumes

Both Hikari and Hikaru play Puck, the mischievous fairy. Not all potions would be included.

This was a really hard to find the names of characters, but they both play the main character, who comes to terms with inevitability and death through a dream.

I thought about having them play two separate character, but decided it would be better if they only played the one, so they play Thantos, the Greek God of Death.

This one is a little impossible for me to have them play the same character, so I decided to not. Hikari plays Jo while Hikaru plays Laurie.

I admit to knowing little of the game, so I designed them both to side characters.

Aoi no Ue, if you don’t know, is a play about harem infighting. I had little problem with making Hikaru the husband and Hikari one of the wives seeing as neither can exist in the same timeline.

At the moment, the plot of The Changeling escapes me, and there is no easy way to explain it. Both Hikari and Hikaru have side parts.

The entire reason I have a maid uniform for Hikaru is because Madame de Sade is completely made up of female characters and I couldn’t decide if I wanted him to cross-dress or not.

Hikari Iyashi

Are the Christmas outfits and excuse to give them pretty outfits? Absolutely. 

Hikaru Iyachi

That... is a hair band. I love anime men with their hair pulled out of their face with them. I am WEAK to it.

Sayaka Ito

Sayaka is one of the few characters that would willingly wear a bikini... however, due to laws in Japan, she can’t show off her tattoo at pools or beaches, so it’s simpler to just own the one piece that covers it up.

While most often girly and dorky, Sayaka has been called tomboyish and told she looks like a boy. So I gave her the male yukata to wear and be like “Yeah, and I pull off the look better than any male.”

As stated before, she works at the music store. They don’t have a super strict dress code, so she only needs to change out her shirt after school.

Sayaka lives with her foster parents in a temple. They are a priest and priestess, and she occasionally helps out to repay them.

Yudai Shinoda

Since his parents own Eatable, he helps out there sometimes. 

Miyako Fujimori

The sweater thing is supposed to be patterned like that towel, and it’s sheer. I had to add it because canonically, there is only one outfit Miyako has short sleeves in, and this isn’t it. Also, fun fact, this is the only time Miyako has an umbrella. She enjoys the rain, so walked around in it without an umbrella. However, she does not like the sun because she burns easily.

This outfit, along with the swimsuit, were the hardest ones to find clothes for, mostly because I forgot about her “only wears short sleeves in one outfit” thing. I had to completely redo this outfit to compensate.

Masahio Oshiro

Hoshiko Akiyama

I had a very hard time finding a good dress for Hoshiko, as she has the red hair and very little goes with it. The pink would probably clash, the white is more part of Hikari/Hikaru’s theme, and the dark blue is more Miyako’s.

Jun Sanada

I’m aware I messed up. This is his swimsuit. That is a headband.

He’s... not the kind of character to go all out, but he’s not gonna just stand out when everyone else dressed up, either.

Messed up here too. This is his Christmas outfit. Though he regularly dresses like trash, Jun actually has a pretty good sense of style and cleans up nice. 

Shinju Kawaguchi

The green thing is a towel that will be thrown over the back of Shinju’s chair. The black swimsuit will have the same blue/pink coloring as the other one, though possibly not quite so bright.

Instead of her regular bow, this thing one will take its place.

I simply couldn’t decide on which color I liked best for Shinju, though the blue will probably work best for her theme.
