“Oh, this? It’s an, um...” How does he say this and sound any way sane? 

“It’s a bazooka... that I built in my free time...? For... no real reason.”

Totally not shadows. That would mark him firmly in the “not sane” category for any normal passerby.

The statement catches Jeff off guard, looking up at Yu with an expression he can only assume is identical to a deer in headlights. Being one of the later additions to the Investigation Team, Jeff had asked Yu to come with him to the TV world and train by fighting some of the weaker shadows, just to get used to fighting with his cybernetic persona, Dr. Moreau - not to mention he wanted to test some of the weapons he had invented.

He'd accidentally run into a shadow that was tougher than he was used to, and they'd had to pull out all the stops to make sure that neither of them were injured. They had decided to take a break in a room that didn't contain any enemies when Yu had turned to him and said... that.

"We-well," Stop stuttering, Andonuts, "There's no time like the present, right?"

Besides, it was a romantic way to thank his boyfriend for saving him back there, wasn't it?

The British foreign exchange student is the one stealing chemicals from Shujin’s chemistry lab, it’s to make his own fireworks for the metaverse. He makes his own laser guns too. They don’t have to be functional in the real world too, but he likes to go one step beyond.

He also vibrates if you hold him too close to a SNES for some reason.

Already, Jeff is much more open and enthusiastic than he is when around complete strangers. There’s a sense of familiarity with Keisuke that he really can’t explain, especially with their worlds being so different, but that’s what makes him so eager to learn.  Maybe it’s because they seem to have similar interests. Tony would be proud of him for making a friend so early and not shutting himself up in his room like he tends to do.

“You have to tell me all about your, er, Digimon, you called them? We can talk while I build you a weapon, if you want!”

Persona 5 Verse Info Page (for SoTFD)

Since Jeff is a character from an entirely different game that I’ve adapted for a persona verse, I’ve written a bunch of info for him here that makes getting to know him in the group verse a little bit easier.

Visual References for him: (x) (x)

Name: Jeff Andonuts

Age: Almost 17 16 (Birthday July 18)

Hair Color: Blond Eye Color: Blue

Nationality: British

Arcana: Hermit

Phantom Thief Codename: Catalyst 

Persona: First tier - Doctor Moreau (reference)

Second Tier (what he has during SoTFD) - Algernon (reference)

Third Tier - Olivier Delabranche (unless you can unlock the totally canon secret Simba or Aslan third tier evolutions aljgsdjl)

Algernon is a traditional chimera: the head and front half of a lion, the back half of a goat, with the tail of a snake. He is also half robotic, two legs, half his face, and half his body made of metal with teal accents. You can read a headcanon about his persona here. He’s big enough for two people to ride on (and Jeff often does, he thinks he looks cool), and is actually rather gentle and physically affectionate when not in battle. But he has cool fangs and can breathe fire and lasers and stuff. 

Moveset:

Terror Claw Medium Physical damage and inflict Fear (medium odds) to 1 foe.

Maragidyne Heavy Fire damage to all foes.

Freidyne Heavy Nuclear damage to 1 foe.

Mafreila Medium Nuclear damage to all foes.

Masukukaja Increase party's Agility for 3 turns.

Nocturnal Flash Inflict Dizzy (medium odds) to all foes.

Strong against nuclear and gun, weak against fire and ice.

His weapons are laser guns (that he makes himself) and chemicals in flasks that he throws at enemies (that he makes and mixes himself). His gun is a bazooka that inflicts heavy splash damage once per fight on all enemies (and of course, he made it himself). 

Things to know:

Jeff is very skilled in building and repairing technological devices, though weapons are his favorite. He will build or fix things for you if you ask and he likes you, though he regularly pulls all-nighters to complete them. He’s an insomniac.

He’s from Winters, a snowy, remote town in England. He lives in Snow Wood Boarding School, a school for gifted boys, and they have had custody of him since age 3. His father, Dr. Andonuts, is a geneticist infamous for his practices of vivisection (experimentation on live animals), who created Jeff via in vitro fertilization (so he doesn’t know or have a mother), then neglected him until Snow Wood removed him from his father’s custody. He has not seen his father since he tried visiting him at age 13. 

Jeff attended Shujin for the events of Royal via an exchange program. He speaks Japanese semi fluently, though it sounds a little like he learned it from a textbook.

He works part-time at Untouchable.

Jeff is VERY ride-or-die for the people he cares deeply about. His sacrifice buff comes very early compared to other confidants, and he tends to try and take hits for people often.

He has an incredible fondness for animals. Mice and cats and monkeys are his favorite, but he’s very kind to pretty much any living creature he sees. He’s the “put a cup under a spider to take it outside” and “feed my lunch to stray cats and dogs” kind of person.

Jeff looks up to Maruki as a father figure, and is apt to defend his actions during the third semester. 

His best friend back home is named Tony, and they text and call and write letters often. Jeff will probably talk about him a lot.

Ness, Paula, and Poo (the other three protagonists of Earthbound) are still friends of Jeff’s, as they participated in the same exchange program, though none of them attend Shujin. Whether or not they’re also Phantom Thieves I haven’t really decided.

[Posting this so late but I need to talk about Jeff’s persona verse again hhhhh its on the brain

The fact that Jeff’s persona is a chimera, basically an oversized cyborg lion, hits so hard for me, especially because Dr. Andonuts made so many scientific advancements and got so infamous because his experiments heavily, heavily relied on testing on animals.

Jeff was a test tube baby (something he kind of assumes by the time he’s 16), and comes to the belief that he’s just as much of an experiment as everything else his father does. Why else would his father forget to take care of him after he moved onto the next project? It’s why his shadow in the p4 verse is a robotic butler that’s about to fall apart... he’s trying to do things for his father for some kind of attention but feels.. broken. Because he was an experiment his father stopped caring about.

His initial persona, Doctor Moreau, comes from an H.G. Wells novel, where the character of Doctor Moreau is an insane scientist shunned by the scientific community because he performs experiments to try and turn animals into people.  So Jeff, even after getting his persona, still thinks of himself as just as bad as Dr. A - whether because he pursues science like his dad (though a much different kind) or because he also believes in pursuing the greater good at any cost to himself. 

His second tier persona is named Algernon, after the short story “Flowers for Algernon” - Algernon being a lab rat that was scientifically altered to be a genius (later at the great cost to the rat’s physical and mental health). He’s accepted that he’s a better person than his father, but still thinks about how his father treated him as a main facet of who he is - like a lab rat.

However, he finally learns to like himself by his 3rd tier persona - named Olivier Delabranche, after a series of French comics by the same name about a boy genius character that makes crazy inventions just because he can. Finally, it’s something that just connects to Jeff himself and the insane things he’s capable of inventing. Just him. No credit to his father.]

[The Persona Verse is now live on my verses page! I’m gonna link these visual references to that verse as well, so you can get an idea on what Jeff looks like in that verse, as well as his design for his shadow in p4 and his phantom thief outfit in p5. 

He’s the same age in either game, btw, canon timelines don’t carry over from p4 to p5 unless some cool au idea comes up in plotting.]

As soon as Jeff found out he’d need to return fighting shadows, he took to going over his weapons - primarily his Heavy Bazooka, which he was putting back together from the disassembled parts in his bag. When he looks up and notices what Haru has with her, there’s sparkles in his icy blue eyes.

“You have a grenade launcher...”

Sure, the Haru back home did too... but he’d never turn down a chance to talk weapons of mass destruction.
