[thebigpapilio]

so everyone knows my ASAU of Persona 5 Royal, A Righteous Rebellion. right? And we're all also aware of @scruffyturtles' Adult Confidant AU?

well I sorta fused them? tldr: i made a (mostly) Adult Confidant AU for ARR! Details below, if you're interested - and if you have any questions about it, please ask @rollthedice-playthecards or this blog here!

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ARR! CANON-STANDARD TRIGGER WARNINGS!

The Fool and Strength (i.e. Igor & Caroline/Justine/Lavenza) are the same. Otherwise, everyone's changed.

The World (i.e. Protagonist) is Tae Takemi!

Her parents were abusive shitheads to her, and she got into a program that helped her escape for Tokyo.

Her first Persona is Merit-Ptah, a fictitious woman purported to be a chief physician of an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh and thus one of the oldest known women in medicine and science.

The Magician is Sadamu Niijima (transmasc!Sae)!

The home invasion that killed Mr. Niijima also led to his death, but Igor came upon his soul and reincarnated him into a hound (because of Shadow Sae's tattoos) for The Yaldabaoth Game™.

His first Persona is Turiddu, a Sicilian bandit whose gang was "legally held responsible" for a massacre, although the entirely of their role in it is disputed.

The Priestess is Sadayo Kawakami!

She was a member of Student Council, but when she brought up Kamoshida's abuse to Principal Omon "Bael" Kobayakawa, she lost her seat. Kobayakawa actually replaces Kaneshiro as the third major target.

Her first Persona is Elissa, legendary founder and queen of Carthage... oh, and I will be shipping her with Tae for my Kawakemi agenda. :)

The Empress is Chihaya Fukurai (Mifune)!

Yuichi "Mammon" Fukurai, her adoptive father, runs Fukurai Foods (Big Bang Burger's owner and more). Chihaya was setting up to inherit the business when Yuichi "changed his mind" and prepared to sell her off in an arranged marriage to Rikio Sugimura.

Her first Persona is Lakshmibai, an Indian rani who rebelled against the Bri'ish.

The Emperor is Sojiro Sakura!

He's a culinary prodigy studying under his adoptive parent (I haven't decided who yet, but they're Azazel) - a TV chef who runs a kids' competition a la Chopped Junior. They definitely abuse some of those kids.

His Initial Persona is Hamlet, the famous Shakespearean Prince of Denmark.

The Hierophant is Makoto Niijima, owner of Cafe Bianca.

She's been looking for her estranged younger "sister" for years now.

The Lovers is Munehisa Iwai!

Munehisa is Shujin’s star athlete. Excels in every sport in Shujin except volleyball, from which he was banned after standing up to Suguru "Asmodeus" Kamoshida.

Kaoru, his younger brother here, takes the role of Shiho, and Akimitsu Tsuda and Masa replace Nakaoka and Takeishi.

His Initial Persona is Barrow, a Great Depression-era criminal who robbed small stores, funeral homes and banks with his partner Ms. Parker.

The Chariot is Ichiko Ohya!

Leader of the photography club. She caught photos of Kamoshida’s dirty deeds in the past and is trying to find a way to expose them anonymously. Oh, and she has a long-distance girlfriend named Kayo.

Her Initial Persona is O'Malley, an Irish pirate queen so violent Elizabeth I considered sending the Royal Fleet after.

Justice is Toranosuke Yoshida!

I sort of split Goro's two roles in this AU. Toranosuke plays the Detective Prince trying to solve the case of mental shutdowns (+ the Phantom Thief case), but his brother-by-choice Benzo Kuramoto plays assassin and mental-shutdown-inducer for Masao Kuramoto, his grandfather. Tora joins the team in Oda's Palace, and they fight Benzo in Kuramoto's Palace - that's where Toranosuke achieves his Second Persona.

Speaking of Personas, his Initial one is Greenlefe, Robin Hood's second-in-command and the only one present at his death.

The Hermit is Takuto Niijima (Maruki)!

Makoto had a brief stint as a police officer, but after a influential asshole (Kuramoto) drove drunk and killed one Tomoyo Rumi, she attempted to dig into the situation and was dishonorably discharged. Soon after, she met Rumi's boyfriend, Takuto (an orphan with one shitty relative), and took him in.

He would be a third-year if he was still in school. He’s wasting away as he grieves Rumi's death. He can’t bring himself to kill himself, but he also doesn't want to be alive anymore.

His Initial Persona is Popol Vuh, a religious text of the mythology and history of the Kʼicheʼ Guatemalans.

The Fortune is Hifumi Hibino (Togo)!

After Mitsuyo disowned Hifumi for coming out as lesbian, Hifumi moved in with her wife Haru (they both end up with Makoto later). Hifumi took up busking/street shogi, not wanting to be reliant on Haru.

The Hanged Man is Akira Kurusu!

Not much for this guy right now - like Canon!Munehisa, he's an ex-yakuza who runs Indomptable, an airsoft store. Ren is his adoptive son.

Death is Sumire Yoshizawa!

A medical misdiagnosis (by her biological mother Yui, not that she knows it) left Sumire's sister in a coma. Ever since, Sumire can't see anyone unconscious without thinking of Kasumi.

Temperance is Ryuji Sakamoto!

An orphaned man who teaches PE at Shujin and moonlights in an escort service to take care of himself and his son Morgana.

Just after his college years, his mom's ex-husband killed her and then killed himself to escape the police, so he has no support system. Thus, he got himself into trouble with a duo of loan sharks so he could look presentable enough to replace Kamoshida.

He, Ann and Shiho were friends in high-school, but he never saw them again after graduating.

The Devil is Ann Takamaki!

An up-and-coming actress working hard to make it big. She's keeping her sexuality (and her girlfriends Shiho Suzui and Mika Abe) under wraps from everyone, including her manager.

At the end of the Confidant, she moves in with her old friend (and future boyfriend) Ryuji after Tae mentions him.

The Tower is Goro Shido (Akechi)!

Goro is a very temperamental young man with no methods of healthily and safely letting out his anger at the world and his shitty, abusive father.

After Shido's heart is changed, Ryuji (and Ann and Shiho) take Goro in.

The Star is Zenkichi Hasegawa!

Even if Zen doesn't know it, he's the best player in the shogi club at Kosei. It's discovered their "team" has been fixing matches, and Zenkichi is determined to find out who's cheating.

Jyun Owada, his senpai and club president, is jealous, and is trying to cause strife between him and his girlfriend Aoi to weaken him.

The Moon is Sophia Ichinose!

Sophia is a Greek immigrant who moved to Japan for work opportunities. She's Tae's science teacher, so Tae really likes her. Her daughter Kuon, however, has fallen in with a HORRIBLY nasty crowd - a bigoted group who hates (among other groups of people) Kuon's adoptive mother. Kuon, naturally, is conflicted, and this leads to conflict between her and Sophia.

The Sun is Haru Hibino!

A young politician whose bold eat-the-wealthy mentality does not sit well with older generations - for example, her father Kunikazu, who disowned her and silently smeared her campaigns so she'd waste her inheritance and never expose his criminality.

In the end of the whole story, Haru legalizes polyamorous marriage!

Judgement is Shinya Oda!

Uses they/them pronouns here.

After Shinya's mother Hanae was killed in cold blood, they joined the SIU to find the killer. She did something to piss off Kuramoto, though, so he and the director do everything they can to keep Shinya away from that.

The Faith is Wakaba Isshiki!

Daughter of Shujin's new counselor. A science prodigy.

I don't have much ideas for her yet, never mind her Personas.

The Councillor is Futaba Isshiki!

Shujin's aforementioned new counselor in the wake of Kamoshida's arrest. Believing the world to be "without life" without her deceased fiancee Kana, her Palace becomes a Graveyard, where she "raises the dead" by fixing their problems.

She only has one Persona - Chac Chel, an important Maya goddess of many things, most prominently both creation and destruction.

The Hope is Yuuki (Mishima)!

His ranged weapon is eye lasers. They use both he/him and they/them.

An A.I. made by Katsuo Akiyama, a regretful high-school bully who caused one of his victims to commit suicide.

Their first Persona is Thyrsus - a giant fennel staff that Yuuki uses like a weapon alongside the Persona aspect of it.

The Apostle is Yusuke Kitagawa!

The only original Phantom Thief to keep the power of Persona.

Ordered by Madarame Ichitaro (the killer of his mother and Police Commissioner) to investigate the Phantom Thieves after a series of mass heart-changings occur again.

Akane has a brother, Natsuhiko, and they share the Jail. Their mother, Takayo (Yusuke's beard) is still dead.

His Persona is Enjolras, and he later gets with Akira.

Lastly, a unique Arcana - The Actor, Morgana Sakamoto!

A theater prodigy at his school (not Shujin or Kosei) and Ryuji's son. He has no clues to his past before Ryuji, and he wants to know, but he also wants his dad to be happy. At the end of the Strikers arc, Lavenza becomes human, and he and Goro get the Sakamotos to adopt her as well.

Reminder once again to post any questions about this AU to @rollthedice-playthecards!

[persona5anotherstory]

Oh hey... it's been a while since I haven't posted that much on this account since I have done the Morgana design for the AU itself, but since it is almost the end of 2023, it's the holidays and I recently started playing Persona 5 Tactica this month and with me thinking... Man I should make more AU designs on the characters again and well, I'm doing it again!

And it's not one, not two... but three character designs I have made for the AU as like a early Christmas present for you guys, so I hope you like my own take on them!

Do note that there are stuff that I might have to change for both the character designs, their codenames and their descriptions too!

Ryuji Sakamoto (Codename: Athlete)

Here's everyones favourite bro character that always likes to say "For Real?!?", which he is the AU swap version of Ann Takamaki, I wanted to keep "some" of the appearance of his original game counterpart, but giving him casual clothing.

Ryuji is a first year in Shujin Academy and is part of the track team, where he has been looking out for his childhood friend, Takeishi since they were kids (Yes, it's the same Takeishi that was seen in one of Ryuji's Confidant event in the game), but after what happened in the incident with Takeishi taking the very same fate like with Shiho in Persona 5, he has decided to join The Phantom Thieves to also help reform society itself!

Sumire Yoshizawa (Codename: Coach)

The character that was introduced in the re-release of Persona 5 in the form of Persona 5 Royal, and will be the AU swap version of Yusuke Kitagawa!

She's both a second year student and a sports coach at Shujin Academy that helps out the different students for sporting activities in the school's gym, Sumire really has been interested on the Phantom Thieves ever since they were being talked about in the school, but the reason for that is because she has requested them through the Phan-site all because of her own father forcing her on getting into fashion instead of sports.

Goro Akechi (Codename: Mysterious)

Now to finally end it off here is by showing off Goro Akechi in the AU itself where I have taken the whole "Detective" thing too seriously for him lol, but he's the AU Swap version of Makoto Niijima.

He's a third year in Shujin Academy and is also the prince detective that everyone has been awing for (especially his own fangirls on different Internet forms), he actually has been cousins with Futaba ever since his mom and Futaba’s mom, Wakaba are in good relations with each other due to them being researchers back when they were college students ages ago.

Akechi is quite suspicious on the whole Phantom Thieves thing since they were being spreaded around like wildfire and has been talked around in school, but after soon finding about his cousin is the leader of The Phantom Thieves after spying on Futaba, he has been wanting to join them is due to him currently on an investigation on a problem that has been going on with a new type of drug that has being secretly shared all around the school from some students.

I wanted to carry elements for Akechi in the AU with stuff like him being based on Naoto Shirogane from Persona 4 and even wanting Akechi in the AU to be inspired by Sam from Sam & Max because I just find it a perfect fit for him in my take in this AU itself.

And that's about it, with next year in 2024 I do plan on wanting to draw the next few characters that I really wanted to try and do, which would be Ren, Yusuke, Makoto and Haru, but maybe I might draw the characters that we're in the Persona 5 spin-offs, and even the Persona Q games too!

So I hope you all have yourselves a Happy Holidays!

Ryuji’s two years out of graduating from the Colony Defense Force program when he gets his first real assignment in deep space. It’s not something in his field as a fighter pilot, he’ll basically be acting as a glorified ambulance driver. If he can pull it off, in a year he can put in for a transfer. It might be his only chance. He’s never been good at following the chain of command and he doesn’t shine academically, but he knows ships. He knows how to fly them, build them, repair them. It’s the only reason he was able to get into the program in the first place. It’s the only thing he’s good at.

He’s surprised when someone takes notice, especially when that someone is Commander Akira Kurusu. The man is the youngest war hero in Earth Colonies history. He was there during the fall of Shido, when the entire planet was wiped off the map. Now he’s a walking poster child for the Alliance of Emergency Medical Services, AMES. He leads a specialized team that travels from planet to planet, offering aid where it's needed. It’s the complete opposite of everything Ryuji was trained to do, but he’s finding it impossible to say no. Especially when he’s going to be serving under such an attractive commander.

Persona 5: Another Story - Character Bio Ideas (The Phantom Thieves)

So since that I have created this AU blog, I have decided to finally begin on doing the bio ideas on the characters in the AU itself, this will be focusing on The Phantom Thieves first and then will be going to the other characters afterwards, like the Social Link characters (no I will not be using the Confidant name for the AU) and of course the Rotten Adults themselves!

And with Futaba as the main lead in the AU itself, why not have all the other characters swapped as well. It’s basically the same characters that you all know and love from the main game, but with major differences of course.

Sorry that it’s a long read because this took me days to get it done lmao, but I hope you all like it.

-Futaba Sakura (Codename: Batter) Same as her counterpart from the games, but with a twist of course, Futaba is a geeky gamer and a professional hacker that specializes in everything that a leader can do, she’s outgoing and very easy to like her, she (along with Ann) has discovered about the whole metaverse thing and has awakened to her Persona, Eclipse!

Her main weapon of choice is both a Baseball Bat and a Bazooka.

Futaba's design for the AU has already been made, so it can be found on both here and also here, but not her Phanton Thief attire just yet for the AU.

-Ann Takamaki (Codename: Painter) A punk rock artist that is also a delinquent and is also a childhood friend to Futaba, there were rumors going around about her beating up against other girls, which were all fabricated and were being passed around the shitty adults because in reality, she is just a girl that wants to protect her friends, and she is also invested on both art and even fashion!

Ann is awoken to her Persona, Demetri and her main weapons are both a bat with nails and an AK47.

-Morgana (Codename: Mona) A strange human kid that somehow ended up in Miyoshi’s palace and locked behind bars after investigating the whole palace, but after being helped from both Futaba and Ann, he would eventually help them back with a deal he provided to them with special needs, he also lives in Futaba’s room (much like Teddie was from Persona 4) and also can use his special magic backpack he carries around to summon his sports car whenever everyone needs a ride!

Morgana’s Persona name is Syndicate and his main weapons are both a Frying Pan and a Tommy Gun.

Fun Fact: The idea on Morgana's human design is heavily inspired by the many different fanart depicting him as a human kid instead of the canon Human design that was seen in Royal.

-Ryuji Sakamoto (Codename: Athlete) A first year in Shujin Academy and is part of the track team, he has been looking out for his childhood friend, Takeishi since they were kids but after what happened since the incident with Takeishi, he has decided to join The Phantom Thieves to help reform society itself!

Ryuji has awoken to his Persona, Cheerleader and his main weapons are both a Luck Ball & Chain and a Crossbow.

-Sumire Yoshizawa (Codename: Coach) Both a second year student and a sports coach at Shujin Academy that helps out the students for some sporting activities in the gym, Sumire really has been interested on the Phantom Thieves ever since they were being talked about in school, but the reason for that is because she has requested them through the Phan-site all because of her father is forcing her on getting into fashion instead of sports.

Sumire has awoken to her Persona, Team Player, and her main weapons are both a Dual Wielding Hockey Stick and a Grenade Launcher.

-Goro Akechi (Codename: Mysterious) A third year in Shujin Academy and also the prince detective, he has been cousins with Futaba since his mom and Futaba’s mom are in good relations with each other due to them being researchers since they were college students, Akechi was quite suspicious on The Phantom Thieves since they were being spread and talked around in the school, but soon after finding about his cousin as the leader of the phantom thieves, he has decided to join them.

Akechi’s Persona name is Questioner and his main weapons are both a Battle Axe and his Pistol Gun.

-Ren Amamiya (Codename: Ranger) Much like what Futaba is in the main game, Ren is siblings to Futaba Sakura and is also a shut in due to an event that has happened for him where the place he use to go to was burned to the ground due to a fire that has unexpectedly happened with the people he has knew died and the rotten adults blamed it on him that cause that fire, now after Futaba successfully changed his heart, Ren has decided to fully stand up for himself against the people he was blamed for.

Ren's Persona name is Prediction, a navigation Persona that can see anything like the weaknesses of the shadows or even know where everyone is going in the Palaces and Mementos.

Just like Futaba, Ren also has his AU design made right here, but no Phantom Thief attire made for the AU.

-Yusuke Kitagawa (Codename: Aether) A student in Shujin Academy that is interested on playing music with any musical instrument he can use, Yusuke has been practicing and playing music ever since he was a kid when he was in music school, he always just gushes about music and just loves to also write original compositions too and wants to share it with the world.

Yusuke’s Persona name is Sebastian, with his weapons being a Musical Hammer and a Sniper Rifle

-Makoto Niijima (Codename: Swansong/Dark Heart)

Look I know that in the AU itself for Makoto being the swapped version of Akechi, but I just wanted to add her in here! The student council president at Shujin Academy, ever since she was introduced to the school itself, Futaba and everyone were quite suspicious about Makoto is because of her being the sister to Sae Niijima (and Sae is a secretary that really wants to rule all over Japan, similarity to Shido from the main game), but Makoto is wanting to join forces on The Phantom Thieves for creating a plan on invading Maruki’s Palace, if they couldn’t do as on what they were told, she would send the evidence to The Police to get them arrested.

At the beginning of Maruki’s Palace, Makoto’s “Persona” is named Defence with her main weapon of choice being the Katana and the Gatling Gun, but however, during in Sae’s Palace, Makoto would be revealed to be the true mastermind behind the whole Mental Shutdown, with her true Persona being named Judgment and her actual weapons are a Chainsaw and a Submachine Gun

-Haru Okumura (Codename: Atomic) A second year in Shujin Academy and is also a martial artist at a karate class she goes to every Sunday, she may look like a sweet girl from the outside, but in the inside however she has that energy on wanting to go chaotic neutral onto anybody she sees that is bad, but yeah… never mess with her ever and even her forehead.

Her Persona is named Sensei, with her main weapons being her Karate Moves and the Double Barrel Shotgun.

If you have made it this far at the end, you're an absolute champ!
