Backstory: A special shadow suppression unit created by an independent scientist shortly after the line of Aigis and her fellow units; Sylis has advanced genital configurations compared to previous models (thanks to his perverted master). After his master passed, Sylis wandered the streets of Port Island, unsure of what to do without someone to feed him instructions endlessly. With no place to call home and no connections with the humans of this world, Sylis wandered until he eventually bumped into a man with wavy, brown hair and glasses, whom he bonded with immediately.

Mr. Ikutsuki moved Sylis into Iwatodai dorm and the android remained there with the student inhabitants until they graduated. Afterwards, they followed Shinjiro Aragaki, promising to be a helpful companion no matter what!

Additional fun facts:

Sylis saved Shinjiro during the events of October 4th, administering first aid and ultimately saving his life.

In an alternate universe, Sylis also managed to save Makoto. This event led to his persona evolving for a second time; the first being on the day that he saved Shinjiro.

His default genitals consist of a vagina and an anus. No penis attachments were ever made for their specific model.

Their attack type is strike damage.

He is weak to electric and light elements.

He can absorb dark damage.

His weapon of choice is his fists.

They cannot consume food. This fact upsets Sylis greatly since, in their words, “Human foods look amazing! The people at the cafes always smile when they consume baked goods… :(”

■ Characters

Koromaru (voiced by Shinya Takahashi in Japanese)

A dog who awakens to the power of Persona after a tragic event. Since his original owner—the priest of the dorm’s neighboring Naganaki Shrine—had passed away, the protagonist and friends take him in as a full-fledged member of S.E.E.S.

Clever, loyal, and friendly, he quickly becomes a beloved member of the group. He seems especially close to Aigis—who translates his barks—and Ken Amada, the elementary school student.

In battle, he wields a knife in his mouth. His unique Persona is Cerberus, specializing in dark skills.

Aigis (voiced by Dawn M. Bennett in English, Maaya Sakamoto in Japanese)

A man-made Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, 7th Generation. She joins S.E.E.S. as an android with a humanlike heart, granting her the power of Persona.

She harbors a mysterious attachment to the Protagonist from the first day they meet. Initially coming across as cold and robotic, she begins to discover more human emotions through her experiences with the group.

In battle, she fires off an arsenal of weapons built into her mechanical body. Her unique Persona is Palladion, specializing in physical and support skills.

Ken Amada (voiced by Justine Lee in English, Megumi Ogata in Japanese)

The youngest member of S.E.E.S.—a 5th grader at Gekkoukan Elementary. After losing his mother in an accident, he comes to live at the Iwatodai Dorm.

After awakening to his Persona abilities, he joins S.E.E.S. of his own accord. While he strives to act mature with his mannerisms, deep down he is still a child with a passion for superhero TV shows.

In battle, he holds a long spear in contrast to his short stature. His unique Persona is Nemesis, specializing in light skills.

Shinjiro Aragaki (voiced by Justice Slocum in English, Kazuya Nakai in Japanese)

A third-year at Gekkoukan High, though he can rarely be seen at school. He was a founding member of SEES alongside Mitsuru and Akihiko. After distancing himself for about two years, a certain turn of events convinces him to rejoin the group.

While unapproachable at first glance, beneath the gruff exterior is a gentle heart and a knack for cooking. He even has a soft spot for animals, doting on Koromaru when no one is looking.

In battle, he bludgeons with weapons like axes. His unique Persona is Castor, specializing in hard-hitting physical attacks.

■ Key Art and Protagonist’s Battle Uniform Revealed

In Persona 3 Reload, all members of the Special Extracurricular Execution Squad (S.E.E.S.) now don new battle uniforms when taking on Tartarus.

The newly revealed key art depicts the protagonist in his new outfit alongside his Persona, Thanatos. The iconic S.E.E.S armbands have also been redesigned to match the updated battle uniform.

Anon said: Chill out will you? She’s just a robot. Robots are made to take extensive damage without feeling any pain.

Chill out? Impossible.

"Is she meant to feel grief or pain over my death? No, but she's not just a robot. She's the latest Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon who became human the more she hung out with me and my friends. She's not the typical android you see in movies. She's someone who is very dear to me and I don't appreciate idiots telling me to 'chill out' when they know nothing about her or me."

— 𝙰𝙽𝚃𝙸-𝚂𝙷𝙰𝙳𝙾𝚆 𝚂𝚄𝙿𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚂𝚂𝙸𝙾𝙽 𝚆𝙴𝙰𝙿𝙾𝙽: ADONYS.

Name: ADONYS.

Eye colour: Orange.

Height: 6’1”.

His systems had shut down and he was considered destroyed.

During the clear-out and aftermath, his systems managed to reboot, but his body remained damaged. Instead of going back to the Kirijo group for repairs, he made his way through Tartarus to fulfill his purpose—destroy all shadows. He has a panel that opens on his back with brings out multiple firearms that he uses in battle.

There is a point where he is sensed within Tartarus and found even more worse for wear. SEES finds him losing against a strong shadow, his body sparking at the exposed wires and on the verge of collapse. He is rescued and brought to the dorms.

He is later repaired by the Kirijo Group and joins the team.

Tears to his abdomen to show exposed wiring.

Damages to the sides of his upper legs.

One of the two back panels ripped off of him.

Persona 3 Reload Trailer Introduces Aigis

Atlus has released the eighth character trailer for Persona 3 Reload and it’s a spotlight on Aigis.

Atlus has released the eighth character trailer for Persona 3 Reload and it’s a spotlight on Aigis. Persona 3 Reload — The Eternal Protector is an introduction to Koromaru, voiced by Dawn M. Bennett. She is an android devloped by the Kirijo Group as a part of their Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon program. She becomes a member of S.E.E.S after meeting the group on their vacation. To learn more…

[systematicallycapricious]

Tsukiyomi x A-SSW x Minazuki! Because I like Tsukiyomi's design too much, and it just has such Minazuki vibes to it already that it makes combining it with Minazuki for Minazuki-specific designs really fun. Also because the A-SSW Sho Minauzki designs I've seen around the internet are really cool and I wanted to try my hand at my own take. xP

I modeled him primarily after Aigis/Gen 7, but I took a couple elements from Gen 5 and the spinoff character Kurogami as well.

For some more specific detail bits:

His name is engraved on the shoulder cap/s of his body like Aigis’s is in some renditions.

Also speaking of the shoulders; I ended up nixing the gold over-pieces because the more I thought about them, the less logical for movement they seemed, at least in regards to the rest of this specific design. Also, they just generally looked weird. :P

The blades stored on his back can be ejected out of their sheathes on command alongside being drawn normally. I don’t really know the exact mechanism for this, and it probably only has very limited practical use, but such is A-SSW logic.

The blades on his back are also basically replicas of Sho’s iconic katana. (Which I definitely drew way too small... one day I’ll actually succeed at drawing those at the proper size. xP)

Instead of guns, he has miniature blades stored in his fingertips...think kind of like traditional X-Acto knives, with maybe more like pocket knife blades for the fingers with finger-length white coloration? They’re moreso for utility purposes than combat, though they can have uses for technical damage and very close-quarters combat. Also lowkey considering the possibility of some other handy, basic utility tools, like maybe a screwdriver or something, but it would depend when and how he was designed if such features would be considered to be added to him, I guess.

He has knives/throwing knives stashed-up in the “gauntlet” parts of his arms... and potentially calves, I haven’t decided yet on what to do with those. They aren’t attached to his body though; they’re to be independently wielded in his hands. (I know I know, wrist blades look cool... but so much of using blades is in finesse that you just can’t get when they’re placed in such a way. So I can’t in good conscious give him weaponry like that. xP)

His ‘tactical visor’ would be like a mask-version of Tsukiyomi’s helmet, because it looks cool and is on-theme, so why not?

I’m not sure if he should have Sho’s iconic face scar or not? I guess again it would depend on the circumstances he came to be through; and if we’re applying less ‘cause and effect’ logic, if Minazuki, or whoever made his A-SSW body, just cared enough to have it replicated or not I guess?

I’m also not sure if I want to even-out the coloration of his fingers or not... It’s in a very weird limbo between the Gen 7 and Gen 5 designs right now. :T

Also, the uncolored sketch and the independent arm are from the preliminary design doodles, which is why they look a little different. (Trying to include the lines and rivets from Tsuki’s design in that way was waaaay too much of a clashing pattern, that’s for sure. >_>;)

(And an additional fun fact from the drawing side off it: for the non-digital drawings, the base for the gold parts was actually highlighter ink! It looks gold because I modified it with ballpoint pens; which is also what I used to color pretty much everything else.)

S.E.E.S Agent Aigis

Age: 10 - 11

Date of Activation: September 10, 1998

Race: Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon (Android)

Aigis is the only known remaining 7th Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon, and the only Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon known to S.E.E.S. as of 2009. After joining S.E.E.S. the summer of the same year, she chooses to attend Gekkoukan High School with the other second years on the team.

Upon initially meeting the others, Aigis is shown to be very loyal and obedient, following the last order that she had been given prior to deactivation. Unfortunately, this order was to protect Minato at all costs, which lead to a rather... interesting set of situations. At this time, her social skills are nonexistent, leading to trouble with her “reading the room”, as well as doing what she generally pleases, such as breaking into rooms. As time and the story goes on, Aigis begins to develop human emotions, finding meaning in the world at large and in the feelings she has towards her newfound friends and allies.

Like all Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons, Aigis’s body contains an artificial Core that allows her to be able to use magic freely without risk. Though unlike the other magic users around her, she tends to stick to only using it in combat situations. Because of her robotic nature as well, Aigis is one of few members of the team that has to wear a Disguise Charm -- that being her ever-present ribbon.

Due to being unable to summon a weapon of her own, Aigis has a tendency to use firearms as a practical weapon against Shadows when magic isn’t needed. However, this is speculated as false, with the real reason being that her mastered spells focus more on support and defense. Her favorite partner to work with in the field is Minato, though as the story progresses, this later changes.

Headcanons on P5 Akira, Ryuji, Yusuke and Futaba's reaction when they find out Reader is an Anti-shadow weapon(Like Aigis)?

CW (CONTENT WARNING): Swearing

| Akira Kurusu |

- His belief on androids weren’t too far off. He did read in an article that there were a secret organization that produced androids before so he doesn’t think the possibility of androids we’re far-fetched.

- So when you reveal that you were an android during a Palace exploration had him both surprised and understanding that, oh… that makes sense. It makes a lot of sense actually. At least he knows the reason why you don’t want to eat his curry.

- Wants to know the history of Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons. He was curious about how there were people who fought Shadows way before the Phantom Thieves and that there were other cases that had a ‘different world’ like the Metaverse. He hopes to make use of the information during trips to Palaces or the like.

- Of course, being metal and plastic doesn’t change his love for you. You stayed with him despite what people say about him, despite his record, despite every single hell that he’s gone through and that was enough for him to show his truest form to you. Hates it when you try to defend him from attacks, whether Shadow or human bullies. He knows you can take more than any human but he doesn’t want to see you get hurt because of him. Despite saying that you can repair yourself, he doesn’t want you to take the blows. He’s used to it by now, honestly.

- Gets this teasing smirk on his face whenever you try to understand stupid human things like dancing in the rain or fawning over Morgana in a maid outfit cats. Inside he’s smitten on how cute you look trying to understand the thought process on these things but he can’t help but draw out the teasing to see your reaction. He toned it down when he sees steam coming out of your nose and mouth during one time. 

| Ryuji Sakamoto |

- Doesn’t really believe in androids at all, believe it or not. He really doesn’t think that the world is advanced enough to create a working human-like machine with a complete A.I. and an algorithm to match up with human intelligence.

- What does make him wonder on why the hell you run faster than him. Not being egoistic but he doesn’t get that your legs seemed to turn into Sonic legs whenever you outrun Shadows in the Metaverse. One particular Shadow took off parts of your legs and Ryuji’s screams when he saw that made everyone deaf.

- Doesn’t understand crap about Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons or the history behind them. What he wants to know if you can shoot bullets with your shins or if you can make the Perfect™ ramen since everything you do is calculated and precise. Ryuji low-key thinks that knowing your an android makes his life so much better.

- Really doesn’t see the problem with you having no flesh and blood. It was within your choice to love him, not some programming error in your systems, so it didn’t make much of a difference to him if you were human. For him, having you reveal your true self to him makes him feel like he was on top of the world to have you as his lover.

- Power couple whether you like it or not. Ryuji would fight to protect you and you would fight to protect him. Nobody would even think to take you on when you smashed a bully right inside the shoot 'em-up game in the arcade. Ryuji still finds you hot whenever you show your strength in front of him.

- Finds it so cute to watch you understand his jokes. What did he mean by toaster? And why does he have to make you wear his hoodies while he hugs you? Your body wasn’t that hard to begin with. It was the optimal softness for hugging and cuddles! At this point, Ryuji could just die a happy man.

| Yusuke Kitagawa |

- Yusuke is absolutely praising at your feet because you looked so flawless. There was not a single imperfection on you; no scar, no blemish, no asymmetry. You were literally the perfect muse that he thinks the gods must have made a mistake and gave a lowly artist like him someone like you.

- Which is all the more reason for you to deny every chance to get nude. No matter how deep your relationship was with him, you never wanted to show the metallic limbs, the plastic joints, the fake everything that he believed in. You couldn’t be a muse, not with this fragile body made from lies. Though a strong Shadow managed to show him your true form, managing to tear apart your legs as he watched. To say he was shocked speechless was an understatement.

- Whatever history you had with Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons or the Kirijo group, Yusuke would never pry. That was something you kept hidden from Yusuke for so long that he didn’t want to overstep any boundaries. When the time comes that you can tell him everything, he’ll be patient. Thinks that your android body is the most beautiful thing to ever grace the earth. He doesn’t even know why you would try to hide it from him. He would paint it all; the plastic joints, the grooves on your wrists, everything.

- Everybody finds you two eccentric as hell. With your stiff movements and monotone voice that could kill the funniest jokes and Yusuke being Yusuke, it wasn’t a surprise that people would talk behind your back. If only you installed the missile launchers Aigis recommended.

- Literally the worst person to explain human stupidity. He takes them as a form of art and forces you to do it. The rest of the Phantom Thieves had to cover an excuse when you played the grand piano while Yusuke pole danced on top of it at the underground mall.

| Futaba Sakura |

- Believed in them this whole time. Probably thought you were an android from the get-go as well. Being Medjed definitely has it’s perks when you try and have a certain family’s secret database of android production.

- Screamed that she knew all along that you were an android when you shot bullets from your fingers. Throughout the car ride, she kept saying all the clues that she gathered that made you who you are all the while nearly making the rest of the team deaf.

- Knows about the Kirijo group and your history with them. Don’t worry, she won’t tell you that she knows it already. It’s completely up to you to tell her when your ready. In the meantime, she tries to pick your A.I. apart by hacking into you and “accidentally” uploaded a melty memes virus into you. Oh well, guess your blasting Despacito Earrape whenever a small inconvenience happens.

- Besides uploading memes into your A.I., she loves that there’s someone else she can relate to, technogically speaking. Japan didn’t have a lot of young people that knows just as much as she knows so she appreciates it when you delve into deep conversations about electronics to her mother to you.

- Literally IS the reason of human stupidity. She’s the mastermind behind everything that made you overheat your algorithms. You think Despacito Earrape was the worst? She has an entire memetrack dedicated for you to play when the best time arrives and nobody could stop her reign of terror. You know she had to do it to them.

Monster AU because why not?

*UPDATE 3* Eric and Derek Derickson have been added to the roster!

*UPDATE 2* Shawn Flynn, Silver Shepherd, and Ed Edgar have been added to the roster!

*UPDATE* Dr. Iplier, Google, Bing, and the Survival Hunter have been added to the roster! (they’re at the bottom of their respective groups) I’ve never really written for the hunter, but this seemed like a fun AU to try him out!

Thanks to @scribblesandstrations, SnowflakeWrites from FanFiction, and a user from DeviantArt who wishes to remain anonymous for your help in figuring some of these guys out!

After Rose Red, I started wondering what monsters everyone else might be. Rose Red will now be multi-chapter, and the AU will probably get a lot of attention when I’m not otherwise working on Outside. My friend helped me figure out Schneep and Anti for it, and from there I just kind of spiraled off into another new, distracting AU when I should be working on Outside. XD

I'm basing a lot of the monsters off of their Supernatural counterparts! So if some of them aren't your stereotypical things for certain monsters or seem familiar, that's probably why! (i.e. vampires have lots of sharp fangs when hunting/feeding that retract into their gums when not, shapeshifters shed their skin when changing form, ghosts "glitch" in and out of visibility)

Info under the cut

---SEPTICS--- Central - sentient building, powerful magic The house is haunted, and sentient at the same time. Intruders never know which is what. Are the slamming doors, collapsing floors, and moving furniture the work of the house, or the ghost? Marvin - human, sorcerer He stayed behind even when the others had fled. Those in the city beyond knew he was powerful, feared him. They didn't know the heart hiding out in the old home's topmost floor. Chase - ghost He still looked so young, as if his skin would be soft to the touch were it actually possible to touch him. His eyes, once so bright, held a cold hatred that had built over the months to follow Marvin's passing; those eyes alone became enough to scare off many of the home's intruders. His body was cremated, so no one understands how his spirit remains tethered to the house. Jackie - werewolf The most human of the trio, and still anything but. The dark, coarse hair on his arms and hands draw the eye; his own the color of ice and almost seeming to glow in the darkness. Henrik - vampire His eyes, which may have appeared a dark brown upon first glance, were really a deep red. His skin deathly pale, but without the veins to stand out against it as he lacked the blood for such a thing. When he smiled, sharp teeth glinted in the light of their fire. Jameson - wooden puppet He looked relatively human, but upon closer inspection the wood grains of any visible "skin" would stand out, the joints in his fingers noticeable upon the discovery. His eyes were too dark and vacant, movements too jerky. It looked as if someone else were pulling his strings, and doing a poor job of it at that. Anti - demon Cold eyes and the shadow of a form are often all that are visible of the Demon King. A cackle or mocking words often all that can be heard. He strikes like the cool edge of a blade long before his prey even knows he's there. Jacques - human, sorcerer They say he made a pact with the Demon King himself, and made the King's first puppet as a gift. Puppetry is an art, after all, and the King adores his little Jameson Jackson.

Angus - werewolf The hunter became the hunted. Bitten by one of the very creatures he vowed to hunt, he stalks the woods far from any civilization. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but instinct can be oh, so hard to suppress. 

Shawn Flynn - ghost There’s a rumor about a cursed doll; that its creator was so proud of its turnout that he couldn’t let it go even in death. Many have tried to burn the doll, but it’s said attempting to do so only tempts fate with the creator’s spirit.

---IPLIERS--- Jim Twins - human, paranormal investigators Humans really should stay out of the business of the beasts to live among them. Too bad no one told the twins that. Bim - wendigo It's rumored that the woods beyond the abandoned Incorporated are the territory of a man who stooped to eating his own kind to survive a terrible winter. No one knows if the rumors are true because no one survives an encounter to tell. Dark - shapeshifter A master manipulator, he often takes the form of his prey's loved ones to lure them in. They never seem to realize it until it's far too late. He's grown successful by very literally tearing the competitors down. Host - vampire His eyes taken by the very beast that turned him, he's a walking nightmare for anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path. Empty eye sockets stare blindly while he relies on his ears and nose to find his prey. King of the Squirrels - skinwalker (whippet) How was the family to know their loyal canine was really one of the beasts they feared? An accidental bite was all it took, and their "Princey" fled into the woods out of his own shame. Rumors say the dog-man has taken to living near squirrels, and fights tooth and claw to protect the dray. Yan - ghoul He used to only feed on the dead. When he found his new fixation, however, he treated any who got too close to the young human as his next meal. What better way to get close to them than to take on the form of their best friend who made such a pleasant dinner for the creature the night before? Wilford - trickster A former show host, his interviewees started to have the strange habit of dying before he seemingly fell off the face of the Earth. No one knows where he disappeared to, but bodies have begun turning up with candy wrappers littered near disposal sights. It's all fun and games until someone gets shot, after all.

Dr. Iplier - human, scientist A former surgeon, he turned to studying, and later experimenting on, genes with homemade machines; trying to find cures to any disease he could think of. His research led him to create Google, and later Bing, to aid in his search. His lab now lay abandoned, though people claim to still see lights on, or hear the sounds of tinkering from within.

Google - android It was the first successful creation of the scientist. It had a strange craving for killing that no amount of tweaking could remove, and some believe it’s the reason Edward hasn’t been heard from in many years. They say when you see his eyes glowing in the darkness, it’s already far too late.

Bing - android The scientist’s second successful creation. Friendlier than its original counterpart, it’s believed to be the more successful of the two. Everyone seems to forget that the two work in tandem, and seeing one surely means the other is close by and prepared to strike.

Ed Edgar - cherub People like to wonder why those with no chemistry find each other. Why they insist on being together when they’re really such a toxic match. Surely a Cupid wouldn’t create such a match, would they?

Silver - siren Singing can sometimes be heard deep within the woods. Those who refuse to follow it say that it changes between the voice of a man or a woman, tempts with songs of what one most desires. Those who do follow disappear into the shadows of the trees.

Eric Derickson - ghost (teke teke) It is said that a young man was killed after falling onto the subway tracks beneath the city. The oncoming train never had time to stop: Effortlessly cutting his legs off and the man unable to be retrieved until long after he’d bled out. Now his spirit wanders; dragging itself forward and stealing the legs of those who opt not to run.

Derek Derickson - human, salesman When the Teke Teke started appearing near its place of death, they say its first victim was its father: The very man to push him into the oncoming train’s path.

“...Its systems are fully operational now. It should be gaining consciousness soon.” A fairly rugged, tired-looking researcher yawned as he checked the vital signs of the unit in the chair before him. “No abnormalities.”

“Release its safeties, then.” His partner, a stern-looking young woman, wrote something down on her clipboard. “If everything goes well, it should be fully conscious and able to speak to us.”

Both researchers sat in wait for the unit to open his eyes. He was the third of a new generation of Anti-Shadow Suppression weapons, but he was fitted with an extra container, just in case. It was important that he work properly, because the Ergonomic Research Lab had poured too much into his development to risk a defect.

The man ended up sighing when the unit opened his eyes and looked around. “Alright, let’s go see if it knows what’s going on.”

The woman nodded and walked into the maintenance chamber. “Good morning. Do you know where you are?”

The android looked over to her and narrowed his crystalline blue eyes. His voice and face recognition software had indicated this woman was one of the researchers of the facility, and that she had a partner. He couldn’t see that partner.

He stayed silent for another moment and nodded slowly. “Yes, I know where I am.” He had just gained consciousness, and yet he felt something… strange. This was not part of his initial programming.

The female researcher looked over to her partner on the other side of the glass and shook her head. “...Good. You are Unit #003. Please repeat that back to me.”

“Unit #003.” He repeated the words exactly as ordered, but again… something sounded off. It wasn’t the way he pronounced the words, per se… More… the inflection. Was there a bug in his language setting?

The woman sighed and looked down at her clipboard. “At least it’s functional…” That was better than nothing. Even if he did sound like someone who hadn’t felt emotion in years. “...Please stand up. We are going to begin some testing.”

The robot nodded slowly and stood up. They were going to begin tests… but for what? What kind of tests were they going to be doing? He felt some sort of twinge in his chest as he followed the now silent researcher down hallway after hallway.

Finally, they ended up at a chamber at the end of a dimly lit hall, and the woman motioned for him to go inside. “This first test will be a pain threshold test. If you need to tap out, there should be a button by the arm of the chair, and you can press that.”

"Innocent until proven guilty" What a hypocrisy. Anti-Criminal laws established, To masquerade a backward philosophy. Outlaws are either among us, Or they exist within us... We're told how to live in this capitalist economy, But the route that's idealistic isn't our promised tomorrow. So we take a different route, Not an easy one at that. They say sidewalks were made for walking but we can still get strewn regardless. We may not run streets but we'll still be running along them and riding among them. We'll dodge for cover, Hoping we make it out the dug out. Find solace in between the legs of another, Then go back to hustling. The powder gets cooked up but we don't eat the merch. The corporate's defenses can't be held, Whether it's lined men or firewalls, The racks are coming with us. Play as a Good Samaritan, giving back to the oppressed under suppression. Be aware of the badge wavers, they'll get you primped for the mortician. Just blend in with the shadows underground, you'll be fine... Arm yourself with a sniper, take out the target before you're robbed of time...
