'''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5194916/1/Persona_3_Fairly_English_Story Persona 3: Fairly English Story]''''' started as an AU Fic of what the author thinks [[Persona 3|Persona 3: FES]] would have been like if Minato Arisato had been raised in England after his parents' death. Then things started to deviate from the original source material, and [[Crazy Awesome|Stuff Happened]].
It's told in first person from Minato's perspective, giving him more of a personality while still keeping the sleepy, expressionless teen that Fanon has made him out to be, while taking a few levels in badass along the way. Towards the later chapters, things start to get a little out of hand, yet it still somehow manages not to break canon most of the time, even the canon for its somewhat direct sequel, [[Persona 4]].
It also serves as a deconstruction of the concept of the [[Mary Sue]]
The author has posted the first chapter of the sequel (titled [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5860066/1/ For Every Soul], because get it? FES?) and there's an omake series called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5866195/1/FESxtras FESxtras], formerly called "Investigation Team Yo!". Then he goes on a two-year mission. Casey W has also begun work on an official sequel from the viewpoint of Seta Souji as he goes through the events of the altered Persona 4 canon. It's called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6148119/1/Persona_4_Face_Every_Shadow Face Every Shadow]. All tropes related should go below.
The Author recently{{when}} did a prequel called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6294680/1/Stay_Awake_With_Me Stay Awake With Me], which covers the events between Minato's parents dying and him moving to England. It's

▲=== Tropes contained in Persona 3: Fairly English Story that were not included in the original game. ===
* [[The Ace]] - Minato. Except at Video Games.

* [[Crossover]] - [[Persona (video game)|Persona]], [[Persona 2|Eternal Punishment, Innocent Sin,]] [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]], [[Shin Megami Tensei II]], [[Devil Survivor]], [[Shin Megami Tensei:

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] - Minato learns a few things from Tanaka.
Line 75 ⟶ 70:
* [[Darker and Edgier]] - You would think this would be hard to do in a world where the world's already gonna end and there's nothing you can do about it, but it happens.
* [[Death Is Cheap]] - {{spoiler|Jyoji Hijiri and Naoki Kashima.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Decoy Protagonist]]}} - Read at your own risk.
* [[Destructive Saviour]] - At least he destroys the evidence.
* [[Delinquents]] - Minato was heartbroken that Banchou culture had died out in Japan.
Line 97 ⟶ 92:
* [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting]] - January is an interesting month, considering it only took place over the space of ten chapters.
** {{spoiler|[[Everyone Is a Super]]}} - Again, January is an interesting month.
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]
{{quote|
* {{color|white| [[Candle Jack|Hello.]]}}
* [[False-Flag Operation]] - {{spoiler|[[Framing the Guilty Party|Minato does this to shift the blame of destroying an old military warehouse to Strega by taking his shirt off, covering himself in demonic tattoos, putting on a hood and running aware from the scene of the crime with a gun.]]}} [[Magnificent Bastard|He thought this up seconds after the fight ended.]]
Line 117 ⟶ 112:
* [[The Glasses Come Off]] - '''YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!'''
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]] - Dia, we love you.
* [[Guns Are Worthless]] - Averted. Hard.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]] - Hell, even Minato gives one in the middle of an [["I Know You
** His enemies do it too sometimes. {{color|white| Adachi has it mastered.}}
* [[Headphones Equal Isolation]] - Minato listens to less and less music as he gets more responsible. He plugs in the headphones only when he's running from these responsibilities.
Line 136 ⟶ 131:
* [[How Much More Can He Take?]] - Minato Vs {{spoiler|Margaret}}, Nyx.
* [[Ho Yay]] - To the extent where Minato considers whether he's Homophobic or just plain tired of it.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Implausible Deniability]]
{{quote|
* [[Intimate Psychotherapy]] - {{spoiler|Empress social link. He didn't even want to at first.}}
** Turns out, {{spoiler|part of him did.}}
* [[In the Blood]] - {{spoiler|Raidou's his granddad}}
* [[Indy Ploy]] - Gods, demons, terrorists, schoolteachers, and [[Magnificent Bastard
** Author's kinda doing this too, just not so much lately.
* [[Infant Immortality]] - {{spoiler|Cruelly subverted.}}
Line 149 ⟶ 144:
** From chapter 94: {{spoiler|"Take control over Gekkoukan High School, secure the surrender of Minato Arisoto through use of hostages. Kill hostages if target fails to comply. Do not engage the target directly, nor attempt to subdue him or take him by force, he is a lethal and ruthless leader of the terrorist organisation known as Strega, going by the handle of 'Jin'."}}
* [[It's Up to You]] - At first, Minato is chosen to lead as Akihiko was injured and he was the most competent fighter out of him, Yukari and Junpei. However, once people start realising just how powerful he is, he ends up doing most of the fighting in many of the fights.
** Then again, it's from his point of view, so he'd only really talk about the others if he can see them, and since he's almost always leading the attack, he just doesn't notice what they're doing, so they level up behind the scenes.
* [[Jesus Was Way Cool]] - {{spoiler|[[Louis Cypher]] agrees with Minato on this one. Turns out the reason he left heaven was because SMT's God wasn't like Jesus.}}
** {{spoiler|[[God Is Evil]] - Only YHVH.}}
Line 172 ⟶ 167:
* [[Line in the Sand]] - Done after the November Full Moon.
** Not quite what the trope means, but the following quote was just too good to pass up on.
{{quote|
** {{spoiler|Said to the protagonist of [[Shin Megami Tensei]] and Kerberos.}}
* [[Last Second Chance]] - If his enemy is human, he will usually give them a couple of warnings to back down before slaughtering them. [[Complete Monster|Usually.]]
Line 227 ⟶ 222:
* [[Rain of Blood]] - Done without any gore when it rains during the Dark Hour.
* [[Rage Against the Mentor]] - While he's still getting his act together, Minato takes this more than Mitsuru does.
** Minato sends that rage towards Ikutsuki.
{{quote|
*** Rage was due to Aigis's problems on her first day at school.
{{quote|
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]] - Minato listens to women talk about shoes; Shinji has his own apron.
** {{spoiler|Jun Kurosu.}} Never has a gay florist been so badass since [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Kurama]].
Line 242 ⟶ 237:
* [[Rule of Drama]]
* [[Rule of Funny]]
* [[Running Gag]]
{{quote|
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]] - Pharos.
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]] - One set of Shadows sent Minato back in time a week. He trained in Tartarus then jumped the Shadows ''just after'' they sent his past-self back.
* [[Shout-Out]] - So many it rivals [[Shinji and
** That's been shouted out too.
** [[Death Note|Minato's thinking posture?]]
** [[Doctor Who|Minato's ''other'' thinking posture?]]
** [[Took a Level
* [[Shonen Upgrade]] - Turning him into a [[Badass Abnormal]]. {{color|white| He loses them though. Then gets them back and uses then properly.}}
* [[Song Fic]] - When the Shadow the Hedgehog theme "I Am" appears, someone is going to be kicked ''up the arse'' '''ARISOTO STYLE.'''
Line 263 ⟶ 258:
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] - Minato's last name is Arisato, but the author didn't know that at first. Whoops. He even lampshades it later, but decides to stick with it.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]] - How else do you {{spoiler|someone who keeps bursting out of her corpse alive and well every time you brutally slaughter her?}}
* [[Smith Will Suffice]]
{{quote|
* [[Standard Bleeding Spots]] - {{spoiler|Minato's forehead once the old wound cracks.}}
* [[The Stoic]] - Justified exceptionally well. {{spoiler|Brain damage from the car crash that killed his parents also killed the lobes that link emotion to facial expressions. He has to force every scowl, every laugh, every smile. He's learnt to be good at it.}}
Line 290 ⟶ 285:
* [[There Are No Therapists]] - Lampshaded. Minato was genuinely surprised when he actually met one in Japan.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] - Or at least making damned sure that it's dead and not coming back.
* [[Training
* [[Translator Microbes]] - Everyone understands demonic as their mother tongue. However, demonic terms {{spoiler|(like [[Mental World|''Sekai Rei'']])}}, aren't translated, even if they have meaning in another language.
** When talking to a demon, you automatically know how to speak Demonic. Probably got something to do with the Sekai Rei.
* [[Tranquil Fury]] - If Minato gets this, '''run'''.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]] - Anything's fair game when Minato gets in close. His opponent usually descends to his level, [[Combat Pragmatist|and then Minato just plain beats them with raw experience.]]
* [[Took a Level
** Explains the one Yukari took between The Journey and The Answer.
* [[Turn in Your Badge]]: Mitsuru deprives Minato from his leading role after seeing [[Cowboy Cop|just how he behaves in Tartarus]] firsthand. It was only temporary though, and he learnt his lesson.
** He later does the same thing to Ken until he gets his revenge issues sorted.
* [[Ubermensch]] - Arguably Minato.
* [[Up to Eleven]] - Not just the fic. {{spoiler|The Social Links go up to eleven too. And it is even a major plot point as Personae that are a part of Minato's Up to Eleven links are card-summonable a la [[Persona 4|The Inaba Scoobies]] ''AND'' are unable to be destroyed.}}
Line 318 ⟶ 313:
* [[Welcome to My World]] - [[World of Cardboard Speech|Welcome to a world of cardboard.]]
* [[White Mask of Doom]] - We don't know what the Doom is, but it's suggested that whatever it is, it's full of doom.
* [[Wild Card]] - Minato, but not just because of his skills. However, the real prize goes to {{spoiler|Tohru Adachi}}. Seriously, we don't know whose side he's on anymore.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]] - The stronger Minato's Personae get, the crazier he becomes.
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - The Reaper. In fact, he combines this trope with basically being Tartarus' own [[Killer Game Master]].
* [[World of Badass]] - Arisojack.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] - Most of the male characters.
** [[Would Hit a Girl]] - To Minato, an opponent is there to hit, regardless of sex, creed, colour, age, or species.
* [[X Meets Y]] - [[Persona 3]] meets [[Shinji and
