Appearance:

Spoiler: Everyday

Spoiler: Phantom Thief

Hobbies/Interests: Politics, classic literature, cheesy tv dramas

Personality: Yoshida is an earnest young man who dreams of creating a better future for the people of his country. He has a strong moral center, and is stubborn when it comes to what he believes in. He is passionate about his ideals, to the point where he can get emotional while trying to get his point across, which sometimes results in him saying things he regrets.

History: While Yoshida is the student council president of Shuujin Academy, he wasn’t actually elected for that position. The person who actually won the election had to move away, leaving Yoshida in charge. While he gladly accepted the position, the other students don’t respect him at all, believing him to be a two-faced tryhard that sucks up to teachers. While this somewhat discourages Yoshida, he is still determined to prove his worth to his peers.

She doesn't care about the spotlight, content to work in the shadows as long as she believes in what she's doing.
History: Tae used to be sick a lot as a little girl. She spent a lot of time in the hospital until a doctor managed to find a cure. That was when she fell in love with medicine. She works part-time at a clinic together with a student from another school, Shoichi Oyamada. They don't like each other, and Oyamada seems content making her job difficult by doing small things.

Name: Sojiro Sakura

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Profession (high school/college student? Or something else?): Third year high school student.

Appearance (can be an image, description or both!):

Spoiler: Everyday

Spoiler: Boss

Sojiro has wavy black hair, reaching the bottom of his neck, often tousled and untamed. A stray strand always seems to stick out near the far parting of his hair on the left. He has wide, grey eyes behind a pair of half-framed glasses.

He sports the standard Shibuya uniform – black blazer with the logo, and a pair of red and black checked trousers rolled up at the bottom. However, he wears a pink shirt underneath his blazer, with the top button undone. He also wears a pair of white loafers with his uniform.

Hobbies/Interests: Coffee making, cooking, flirting, crossword puzzles.

Personality:

Sojiro on the surface comes off as a huge flirt. Most of the time it seems like he can’t have a conversation with a woman without passing some sort of flirtatious comment. Most of the time he seems like an arrogant know-it-all, but underneath, his heart is in the right place.

He’s a sharp young man, often spotting injustices far too often and usually seeing through a false face.

History:

Sojiro had only moved to Tokyo when he was around fourteen, after a string of familial problems led to him being put under the care of Futaba Sakura, a distant acquaintance of a family friend. He was given the attic above Café Leblanc, purely because Futaba had no room in her own home. It was then he later discovered she had a daughter, Wakaba.

The two had been enrolled in the same middle school class, and so the two naturally started to have a close bond. Wakaba, like her mother, was an interesting case. Socially she was odd, but she had a passion for the human mind and people’s cognitions. It often led to bullying or worse. Sojiro was always on hand to keep an eye on her and defend her, and the two got closer. Futaba always warned Sojiro jokingly about not perving after her daughter, one Sojiro got oddly embarrassed about.

Two years on, just as the two were about to start at Shibuya together, Wakaba was involved in an accident on their way to the school. She had started acting weird, he can’t remember the details, and the next thing he knew, she had suddenly stepped out into traffic. The memories of that event are still blurry for Sojiro. Her death was later ruled as a suicide. Futaba was beside herself for months on end, regrettably so that she at one point blamed Sojiro for her death, causing a rift between them for some time. For a time, Sojiro had believed it, wondering if he hadn’t noticed the signs, if the bullying got worse in between times. Even the way in which Wakaba’s death had been handled by the authorities and quickly ruled out, it made Sojiro believed that he could have done more for her in the end.

However, the two of them have started to repair their relationship bit by bit, learning to cope after Wakaba’s death. It’s a sore spot for both, but they continue on nonetheless. All Sojiro has to do is focus on his final year before college. If that’s at all possible…

Codename: Boss

Arcana: The Fool

Persona: Filibus/Wild Card.

Spoiler: Persona

Abilities (think healing/support/damage dealing): Sojiro would be a damage dealer in the group, having a mix of physical abilities and magic to aid himself and the Phantom Thieves. His main element would be ‘Garu’.

Weapons: Melee: Lance. Ranged: Revolver

Anything Extra: Will often sneak into Futaba’s stash and steal some cigarettes. It’s a tough habit to kick.

 

[NottTheBravest]

Name: Futaba Sakura
Age: 38
Gender: female
Profession (high school/college student? Or something else?): Owner of Cafe Leblanc, caregiver of Sojiro
Appearance (can be an image, description or both!):

Spoiler: Pic

Hobbies/Interests: Computers, hacking, teasing Sojiro
Personality: Futaba is a cheerful woman who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. She doesn’t care all that much what people think of her. As long as the people she loves are happy, she is happy. She loves teasing Sojiro, knowing he can take it and even return it. She smokes, and is aware Sojiro sometimes steals her cigarettes. She will pretend to scold him, but actually she doesn’t care all that much. Let him do what he wants. She doesn’t really interfere too much in his life. She’s a firm believer that one must experience as much as one can, and find out on their own if something works or not. And if something fails, she’s there for comfort. But also to tease. Whenever she thinks she’s alone she can be lost in thought and depressed, but as soon as she notices someone is there she’s back to her happy usual self. She can be a little grumpy, especially in the morning when she hasn’t had her coffee yet.
History: Futaba was young when she had her daughter, Wakaba. The father had runoff, so she was left to raise her on her own. She opened her own cafe once Wakaba started going to school and she had more time to herself. She and Wakaba were very close. A few years later she heard from an acquaintance that a 14 year old kid was in need of a home. She decided to take him in and let him stay at the cafe. He was a good kid, and it didn’t take her long to start caring about him. It helped that he made Wakaba smile, and he looked after her.
And then Wakaba died. It almost destroyed Futaba. She sank into a deep depression, and started looking for reasons. An accident couldn’t have taken away her baby girl, there had to be something behind it. It came to such a low point that she even blamed Sojiro. She would never forgive herself for it. Eventually she pulled herself together and life continued as she tried to repair her broken relationship with Sojiro. But a part of her would never recover; that part had died with Wakaba. And she’d never stop digging into the accident, looking for a sign.

 

[BriiAngelic]

Name: Shiho Suzui
Age: 40
Gender: Female
Profession: Professional Athlete, Volunteers Occationally to teach self defense classes.
Appearance:

Spoiler: Other Photos

Hobbies/Interests:
- Volleyball
- Fighting games (she unloads anger in them)
- Karaoke
- Traveling The City and finding cool new sights
- Trying new foods

Personality:

Shiho is someone who’s been called a bitch by several gossip magazines. Which to be clear isn’t a full lie. She’s cold and direct to most, while she can be warm and open it’s far rarer to see that side as once she gets into that work mode the serious Shiho comes boiling up. In fact a fair deal of her friends have come to like this about her, after all sassy comments are probably the first thing you’ll hear from her.

While she’s generally approachable in either side it should be noted that beneath her runs a pool of fury that’s never been extinguished since every so often the media will turn back up the heat on her. At times like that expect to hear some choice words come out as she retreats to her own happy places, which means she’s either ordering the whole menu as Leblanc or wailing on a punching bag down at the gym.

But beyond all the negatives Shiho is a very playful person and enjoys having fun with life. She’s the type of person who makes snap decisions to go and party or go indulge in something tasty. She’s quick to drag others along often paying for them to get rid of any possible out they have, especially since she doesn’t do much with her salaries beyond rent and food.

History:
Shiho is a woman in her early forties. She’s a fairly well known professional athlete having spent years dedicating herself to volleyball even managing to go to the Olympics once though she didn’t manage to rank with her team. As an alumni of Shujin high she sometimes drops in to visit old friends who now work there. When she does she tends to not go through official channels considering she’s well known by the staff due to her career and her actively bringing publicity to the school.

When Shiho was going to Shujin high she had a fair few admirers. While she would say that she’d explained her heart belonged to her craft and let them down easy there is still tension between some of her old admirers that has managed to affect her work. There have been a few smear campaigns led against her but she deals with this swiftly with the cold precision of someone who’s decided to chase after their goals with her all.

It’s the rumors that pushed her into picking up an outlet. While for awhile that meant she was turning to hands on sports which let her throw her weight at others she quickly learned that not only was she bad at things like kickboxing and wrestling but she was finding herself getting angrier and angrier. Soon she learned that the best thing for her would be to redirect her energy and anger into more positive activities and thus signed up to be a coach for local self defense classes. Typically she only does this in her off season between her own training days.

Anything Extra:
-Shiho now needs four cups of coffee to start her day if it’s an easy day and she greatly blames Futaba.
- Shiho’s ever expanding playlist​

 

[Stitches and Patchwork]

Name:
Munehisa Iwai

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Profession:
High School Student

Appearance:

Spoiler: Normal Appearance

Spoiler: Metaverse Appearance

A male with short yer spiky and strangely grey hair and matching narrow silver eyes, Iwai has an athletic physique and stands at 6’2, towering over many people in the school. He has a bandage on his right cheek which hides a scar he has recieved. He also has a black tattoo of a gecko on the back of his neck, the insignia of his father’s yakuza.

Iwai’s features are quite well defined with a strong jawline and pointed nose. However with his narrow eyes and intimidating stature, rather then attracting anyone, he seems to frighten them more.

Hobbies/Interests:
Iwai likes cats, showing a secret interest in studying vetinary medicine.

Iwai is quite the marksman, having been trained by his father and having begrudgingly recieving advice from Shinya. He plans to own the shop when he’s hold enough.

Iwai does have an enjoyment for video games, especially fighting games such as Tekken, Blazblue, and Guilty Gear. This may or may not have led to a small tiny crush on Nonbunga Togo/Saiba.

Iwai used to be on the basketball team, having found the sport enjoyable but when Kamoshida implied knowledge on his background, he quit.

Personality:
Iwai is initially seen as cold and gruff, preferring to remain alone and often intimidates others. He is quite blunt, never hiding an opinion and being unable to save his life. Because of this he can come off as rude when truly he is just being honest. He also is short tempered, often allowing it to get the best of him and cause him to act impulsively along with getting easily frustrated.

Behind the gruff exterior is a male who sincerely wishes to protect his loved ones. Iwai is selfless, willing to do anything for them, and if you do befriend him, he reveals to be a loyal and protective ally. He just struggles with letting people in, even taking forever just to call someone friend. Nonetheless he remains benevolent nonetheless.

Despite Iwai’s short temper, he has a cool and calm demeanor that tends to serve as a voice of reason most of the time. Except when he’s mad. Iwai, due to not having that many friends, is slightly socially awkward due to his inexperience but never would admit it. He also gets deeply passionate into things whether it be playing video games or pretending to be a cat (nya) which really can result either well or badly.

History:
Iwai was abandoned as a child, having born from an affair and left in an alleyway to die. Rather then dying however, he found by the prominent Yakuza leader, Kaoru, who took pity on the child and adopted him. Iwai grew up learning this at a young age and has remained grateful to his father, owing him his life. It is because of this that when he was a preteen, he indulged himself in some of the yakuza’s activity to help his father to the best of his ability. Mostly this would be small jobs like serve as lookout or guard supplies, Kaoru against putting his own son in danger despite his insistence that he can defend himself.

Rather then put his son in any more danger, Kaoru took care to get them both off the grid so Iwai can live a normal life. Iwai, now fifteen, went along with this despite still being certain he could’ve defended himself. Nonetheless, Iwai got to experience a normal life for two years as Kaoru opened an Airsoft store and managed to support them through that as they hide their history with the yakuza in peace. However this peace is threatened when a certain jock at their school finds out about it.

Codename:
Gecko

Arcana:
The Hanged Man

Persona:

Spoiler: Black Bart

Abilities:
Iwai is more of a support damage dealer in the team, serving average damage dealing attacks but at a quick pace due to Black Bart’s higher speed. His skills consist of mostly physical activity with a few electricity, his main element being Zio.

Iwai is better with ranged weapons though, his guns holding the most bullets in the team.

Weapons:
Machete
Guns... literally he can use all kinds of guns

Anything Extra:
If you call Iwai Mune-Chan, he will be reduced to a flustered mess who is willing to pummel you

Iwai tends to blush easily

Iwai is deathly afraid of shots.

Iwai takes water gun/ water balloon fights way too seriously

Don’t have Iwai attempt to smile or look friendly. It’s horrifying.

Iwai got a bandage while serving as lookout, the Yakuza having been ambushed and a bullet having grazed Iwai’s cheek, leaving a scar. This spurred Kaoru to take the two off the grid while Iwai hides the scar to not grab any unwanted attention.

Iwai is acquaintances with Shinya, a guy who works at his dad’s store, the two seeming to be on friendly terms. The two even have competitions about who has the better aim with Shinya always winning, much to Iwai’s annoyance.​
