Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\|''"Fuck!"''~~\|'''Saito''', frequently}}~~ \|'''Saito''', frequently}} A interesting take on the main story, '''''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5708726/1/Persona_3_FES_Lusnati_Style Persona 3 FES: Lusnati Style]''''' is a fanfiction by DropletofSour, a humorous author who's known to handle physical humor as well as romance. The main character is one of his OCs, Saito Lusnati, who is from his very own horrid past, replaces the main character from the ~~aformented~~aforementioned game. The game has eventually took of from the main plot similar to another famous fanfiction of its kind, [[~~Fairly English Story (Fanfic)\|~~Fairly English Story]], although it's not ''nearly'' as egregious. It also has a sequel which is abandoned account of frustration when writing it. You can find that [https://web.archive.org/web/20100401124629/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5844464/1/Persona_4_Mental_Depreciation here]. The ~~Story~~story is told in first person, through Saito's eyes, so the readers get to behold his unreliable narration and occasional stabs at the fourth wall. First and foremost, the story is humor driven, although it does take backseats for more serious moments. When it's not being serious, Saito makes jokes at the expense of the wold around him, bordering on crossing the line twice. [[Cluster F-Bomb\|And he swears.

It's mostly being written to flex his comedy muscles from Drops' other, darker fics, and to appease the crowed that want a FemC story. It's shaping up to compound upon the hilarity of the original.

This one [[Follow the Leader\|follows the recent fanfic trend]] of ~~putting~~making ''Persona 3 Portable''{{'}}s main characters as siblings, only with Lisa and Saito instead, and from her perspective. It's mostly being written to flex his comedy muscles from Drops' other, darker fics, and to appease the crowed that want a FemC story. It's shaping up to compound upon the hilarity of the original. [[Cluster F-Bomb\|They still swear.]] [[Running Gag\|A lot.]] {{tropelist}} * [[Abusive Parents]] - Saito was adopted post the car crash that killed his parents. His mother divorced his dad, and she got sole custody. She promptly abused him to the point of nearly killing him over an unnatural set of eyes. Saito survived that bit of his life and then was held under custody by his Dad. He considered his Dad this because of his neglect. {{spoiler\|This actually turns out to not be the case. Saito's adopted father was simply scared of what he would potentially become as a result of his previous abuse.}} * [[The Ace]] - Saito is this. [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|At Ace Combat games]] * [[American Accents]] - It's mentioned in-story that Saito holds a Brooklyn accent. [[Word of God]] says that his parents initially brought him to live in Brooklyn prior to the mentioned split, and it justifies his accent because he had to have learned English there, right? ** A lesser version appears with Deep South sounding Shay Priester, an American transfer student and senior in the music club. * [[Angst? What Angst?]] - Subverted for the most part. The narration style changes a bit when Saito's feeling down. * [[Anti-Hero]] - DLS!Saito manages to be between Type II and III. DLS!Lisa complete averts the trope, however. * [[Arc Number]] - DLS gives us 128 because it's the number of Geo-Guardians. And it gets repeated a lot. Line 25 ⟶ 23: * [[Awesome McCoolname]] - Raige (pronounced "Rage") Lusnati ** Seki Cosine may count. Having a mathematical sign for a name has to mean something, right? * [[Bad Ass Old Guy]] - Raige counts, even if the Hanged Man battle didn't count. Not only is he a former Marine, he fought in Vietnam, and then returned to the front line one last time with a [[BFG\|Rocket Launcher]] to help the others see the Shadow and led the assault on it. He even predicted the falling patterns of a sixteen piece MIRV missile the Shadow started firing and helped the SEES [[My Friends and Zoidberg\|(And everyone else not a SEES)]] dodge it with precise timing.▼ * [[Back-to-Back Badasses]] - Chapter 14 of Double Lusnati Style brings us: Lisa and Akihiko versus some [[Precision F-Strike\|fucking]] raptors. * [[Beam-O-War]] - Saito's mastery of light versus {{spoiler\|Saitera}}'s mastery of darkness. It's not as awesome as the trope usually calls for, so the author is thinking about doing a piece of art to do it justice. * [[The Berserker]] - The aptly named Berserker Lisa. Lisa herself plays it less straight, though. * [[Berserk Button]] - Don't hit Saito's hand. * [[BFS]] - Junpei gets one early on.▼ * [[Big Brother Mentor]] - Oddly enough in a subversion, {{spoiler\|Seki, two years younger, became this for Saito before he moved to Japan. Played straight Seki does it again for a few months younger Lisa Lusnati.}} ** Saito somehow does this with Chihiro. Line 36 ⟶ 32: * [[Bilingual Bonus]] - Disi Aslan, Chihiro's Persona. It's Turkish for female lion. ** [[Genius Bonus]] - Disi Aslan is a lioness of the Justice Arcana, just as you'd expect Aslan from [[The Chronicles of Narnia]] to be. {{quote\| Basically, Aslan was genderflipped.}} ▲* [[~~BFS~~Blade of Fearsome Size]] - Junpei gets one early on. * [[Blood Knight]] - Saito. He doesn't display the usual brutish behavior of one, but he makes it plain fairly early that he only fights "for the goddamned fight." * [[Butt Monkey]] - Hanyuu. Line 46 ⟶ 43: ** Later, with Lisa's return in Double Lusnati Style, she coins the phrase, "Aww, what!" with Junpei. * [[Cats Are Mean]] - Subverted. Shamisen is pretty mellow... [[Oh Crap\|and then he found out what his name was referring to.]] * [[Character Development]] - There's a fair bit. Since the story is through Saito's eyes, you see his the most. He's grown from an angry, possibly angsty, teen into a respectable young man by the time of the Hanged Man battle. Also present is Chihiro, who goes from being a [[Shrinking Violet]] and relying on Saito as a crutch to slapping her own Shadow across the face and becoming a [[Lady of War]]. Done with [[The Scrappy\|Lisa]] much to the [[Fan Yay]] of the readers. She has been [[Rescued ~~From~~from the Scrappy Heap]], and some light has been shed on why she's so hateful and spiteful in a [[Hannibal Lecture]], then had it thrown in her face by Saito's [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] speech in return. * [[Chaste Hero]] - Averted. Saito is seen covering his eyes when he runs into the female SEES members in nothing but towels. * [[Clothing Damage]] - Played for laughs. His shoes died for a worthy cause. * [[Cluster F-Bomb]] Line 68 ⟶ 65: * [[Ditto Fighter]] - Although Theodore uses a set of nun-chucks to fight without using Persona abilities, he's seen copying other people's Personae and abilities that they've mastered. Most notable is Saito's laser. * [[Doesn't Like Guns]] - Seki. He and Saito both know how to dismantle common guns found in the area they stomp, but only Saito bothered to learn how to put them back together. * [[Don't Look At Me]] - Sorta. Initially, he doesn't like it when people look at his red eyes. After the Priestess battle, he gets over it. ▲* [[~~Bad~~Elderly ~~Ass Old Guy~~Sensei]] - Raige counts, even if the Hanged Man battle didn't count. Not only is he a former Marine, he fought in Vietnam, and then returned to the front line one last time with a [[BFG\|Rocket Launcher]] to help the others see the Shadow and led the assault on it. He even predicted the falling patterns of a sixteen piece MIRV missile the Shadow started firing and helped the SEES [[My Friends and Zoidberg\|(And everyone else not a SEES)]] dodge it with precise timing. * [[Eldritch Abomination]] - What Saito calls the Shadows prior to learning that they're called Shadows. * [[Epic Flail]] - Theodore. He's so awesome, Saito laments that he's glad Theo's using nunchucks instead of a katana, otherwise, he'd be [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]. * [[Epileptic Trees]] - {{spoiler\|The fic ends this way: Shinryu and Elizabeth try to guess why Saito gives up his life to seal Nyx away.}} * [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~with Bears]] - Seki wants to beat one up using a fold up chair. Take that as you will. * [[Evil Counterpart]] - Chihiro meets hers {{spoiler\|then the Reaper turned her into a [[Demonic Spider]] that Saito had to take down. Saito meets his own in Chapter 51.}} * {{spoiler\|[[Face Death ~~With~~with Dignity]] - Raige's last words were "Thank you" with a smile.}} * [[Fix Fic]] - Played straight, but not how'd you'd expect. The author is on the side of the Persona fanbase that believes Persona: Trinity Soul can't be canon because of plot points made in Persona 4. He's attempted to recreate the story so that it can fit in the timeline following Persona 2. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on whether or not this was successful. * [[Follow the Leader]] - [[Word of God]] openly admits that [[~~Fairly English Story (Fanfic)\|~~Fairly English Story]] was his inspiration to write this fic. * [[Freud Was Right]] - Played for laughs between Saito and Omoikane when he notes what Tartarus grows like. * [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] - Saito's favorite type of attack. Doubles as [[Shown Their Work\|showing the author's work]] because Saito explains how lasers work and cited various examples. His initial usages of the trope do the science right, but as he goes on, it gets less realistic, and more fantasy. * [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] - Seki and Lisa do this, while everyone else uses weapons. Subverted also: Lisa uses her legs while breakdancing. * [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]] - Saito's got a jagged cross covering most of his front. Also invokes [[Don't Look At Me]] but [[I Got Better\|he gets better.]] * [[Good Thing You Can Heal]] - This trope is beaten to death. * [[Green-Eyed Monster]] - Lisa turned out to be this. ** It's showing up less in Double Style, however. * [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - Of a meta sort. [[Word of God]] had a discussion on a chatbox recently in [[Deviant ART]] and noticed that he'd imagine Saito sounding like [[Ace Combat\|Solo Wing Pixy]] with a Brooklyn accent. The brilliance is that the original game's Minato and Pixy are both voiced by [[Yuri Lowenthal]]. * [[Hollywood Atheist]] - Saito has shades of this. Might be justified by the fact that his childhood abuse was dolled out by his mother "in the name of God." Unfortunately, this is [[Truth in Television]], based on what the author has seen. * [[Humble Hero]] - Sunverted with Saito. He takes the Shadows seriously, but doesn't want to make a big deal of it. He cares about his power, though, because [[I Just Want to Be Normal\|it doesn't let him be normal even by the standards of having a Persona.]] * [[I Know Mortal Kombat]] - Seki. Many of his strategies with his Persona's abilities are derived from [[Touhou Project\|Immaterial and Missing Power.]] Lisa does Master Spark as well, but it's a subversion because she uses science to convert her lightning into said Spark. Junpei gets Rocket Jumping from ''[[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)\|~~Team Fortress 2]]''. It happened a lot earlier, but Saito got the TLS from the [[Ace Combat]] series. * [[Iron Woobie]] - Saito. He was supposed to be a paraplegic, and what his mom did to him would leave a kid's mind shattered. He references the actual incident a lot, but it's easier for it to stop being as annoying as it would normally get when you realize he's saying it in [[Sarcasm Mode]]. [[Jerkass Woobie]]: More emphasis on "woobie" than "jerkass", but the guy has a mouth. * [[Jerkass]] - Saito notes that Seki's training styles are overly extreme. [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]] - Saito also notes that Seki means well. Saito himself can have both tropes applied to him. Not so much DLS!Saito. Except for his sporadic nice moments, Saito is a prime [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Jerk]]. * [[Katanas Are Just Better]] - Played pretty straight. Saito likes katanas because of how they're made. He even uses a ninjato and a pair of bokken at one point. He does acknowledge that Junpei's [[BFS]] might be better though, but only because Junpei's got the muscle mass and coordination to use it effectively [[Epic Fail\|once he learns to stop falling on his ass.]] * [[Knife Nut]] - Saito is this without a sword. ** Lisa's got her [[I Call It Vera\|Flicky]] in DLS, though she switches between this, [[Dance Battler\|capoeira,]] and [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]. * [[Lady of War]] - Chihiro grows into this. ** Lisa should also get a mention. * [[Large Ham]] - '''Ekoda.''' * [[Le Parkour]] - Saito, Seki, and later, Lisa. Line 107 ⟶ 105: * [[Little Miss Snarker]] - At 5'1, Lisa's all over this. * [[Manipulative Bastard]] - Saito, but he limits it to checking things instead of directing people to do stuff. And even that made him feel bad. * [[Mary Sue]] Completely averted in the case of DLS!Lisa and subverted with DLS!Saito. Lisa struggles to keep up at times, and isn't entirely popular, but Saito is fully aware that he's Jerkass incarnate and actively shuns everyone's love, but where Lisa struggles, he's incredibly ''good'' at fighting shadows and everyone knows it. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on LS!Saito though. He skirts the line between being [[God Mode Sue]] or not frequently. * [[A Mind Is a Terrible Thing Toto Read]] - Saito frequently reminds Fuuka to stay out of his head since (for the purposes of the fiction) she can read minds. * [[Narm]] - Some of the earlier dialogue can come off as this. ** [[Narm Charm]] - But sometimes the Narm works. * [[The Napoleon]] - Seki. In Mental Depcriciation, [[Gentle Giant\|though...]] * [[Nice Hat]] - Saito's bucket hat and the fedora Seki sent him for his birthday. ** Lisa's doorag and her own fedora. [[Word of God]] gleefully admits his obsession with [[Nice Hats]]. Line 119 ⟶ 117: * [[Random Encounters]] - Played for laughs. One of Seki's methods of keeping his skills sharp is to piss people off so much that they'll attack him at random. When Saito's Personae caught wind of this, they built a marble Colosseum in his mind and made him fight at random intervals during the day and during his sleep. * [[Reason You Suck Speech]] - A Semi-Heroic version: Saito delivers one of the most epic of these kinds of speeches ever to Yukari in chapter 39 of DLS. * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] - Saito has these. Officially, it's because he has ocular albinism, but he doesn't. [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief\|Don't ask how that works.]] * [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] - Look at the page... * [[Running Gag]] - "I dunno what the fuck." Line 127 ⟶ 125: * [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]] - The Lusnati family. This actually annoys Saito, but he just substitutes "money" for any logical reasoning behind how Raige could do the stuff he does at times. Particularly, how Raige managed to smuggle a freaking {{spoiler\|rocket launcher and a Desert Eagle with '''incendiary ammo''' into Japan.}} * [[Self-Deprecation]] - Saito does this often, to the point of calling himself a hateful little wretch as straightly as possible. * [[Shout -Out]] - Saito finds a talking cat. He names it [[Haruhi Suzumiya\|Shamisen]] when it wouldn't stop demanding a name. "Well, what else am I supposed to do? See about summoning a [[Fairly English Story ~~(Fanfic)~~\|blue-haired guy with an emo-fringe]] who screams about [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann\|drills]] and [[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000\|chainsaws]], and [[Large Ham\|just screams loud in general?"]] The entire fight with {{spoiler\|Saitera}} in Chapter 66 is a shout out to a bunch of stuff. *** She and her gorilla quote a lines from "Banana Zoo" from [[Class of 3000]]. She even comes in singing a line from "Throwdown" from the same show. Line 140 ⟶ 138: * [[Tear Jerker]] - The end of Chapter 53. * [[This Is Sparta]] - Played straight and for laughs. {{quote\| "This isn't Sparta, and your name isn't Rick. Your in-jokes have got to get better and [[Tropes Are Not Good\|less tropitised."]] }} * [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]] - Ryoji, after remembering who he was. * [[Tropes Are Not Good]] - In-story version. Saito berates himself frequently for saying tropes ad verbatim to describe the situations around him. [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] - Seki spends much of his time on the Internet when he's not dolling out vigilante justice. Apparently, he tropes when he's not contributing to Anonymous attacks. [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]] - Lampshaded in story when Saito finds out that his younger sister Lisa has been reading Tropes to understand just what the hell Seki is babbling about. Line 148 ⟶ 146: * [[Tsundere]] - Lisa. HARD. * [[Unreliable Narrator]] - A given. * [[Unstoppable Rage]] - Anger ensues when Saito here's about any child abuse. * [[Useless Useful Skill]] - Surprisingly, being able to dismantle the Evoker has only been useful in one instance and every other time caused Saito some grief. * [[Waif Fu]] - Handsprings and CQC. Lisa by far in DLS. * [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save ~~The~~the World]] - A tragic variation played: {{spoiler\|"Get up, beat the last monster, celebrate, watch your dad get killed, go to school."}} * [[What Happened to ~~The~~the Mouse?]] - Oh my fucking ''GOD.'' The number of plot hooks you can find were completely forgotten later on. ** And whatever happened to "Johnny" of the Temperance link? * [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] - Saito has trouble sparring with Chihiro. Subverted with his sister Lisa. * [[The Woobie]] - Alice. When you read the backstory [[Word of God]] had to come up with, you'll feel pretty bad. ** Lisa too- Her mom died giving birth to her and her dad died in a plane wreck. Then her adopted father mostly ignores her and her brother, then when he finally starts paying attention, he directs it all to Saito, ''then'' she had to hear about how amazing Saito was while being compared to him. It pretty much justifies her being a cutthroat bitch and [[Green-Eyed Monster]]. * [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] / [[Anime Hair]] - ''Beautifully'' averted. Saito outright states that Seki dyes his hair blue-green and uses copious amounts of hair gel to keep it spiked up. ** [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] - Seki lets his hair be white and normal out of respect uring Chapter 54. * [[Zerg Rush]] - Lisa employs this with capoeira spin kicks on her hands so that they occur ad infinitum. Seki notes that this is technically a [[Zerg Rush]]. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Lusnati Style~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Fanfic]] [[Category:Persona 3/Fan Works]]
