== Year 1 Students ==
=== '''Tsukasa Sato''' ===
 
Tsukasa is violent. Like really, really violent. Fighting is her favorite pastime, and she will get mad at anyone that doesn't agree with her point of view, which tends to change from time to time. There aren't that many people that can bare her because of this. Due to the fact that she cares almost nothing of others' opinions, Tsukasa often finds herself in rather awkward situations that confuse everyone around her except herself. For example, it made perfect sense to her to grope Kaede to determine her gender. Everyone else didn't think so.
 
She's the daughter of a famous Kendoka and as such has taken the sport up herself. Amongst the few girls in the Kendo club, Tsukasa is one of the strongest, and frequently makes it a point through her words and in combat. Her Persona had been encouraging her to fight more and more, leading the already violent girl into more fighting situations than ever before. After her accidental murder of two thugs, Tsukasa decides to start fighting to defeat bad guys, and resolves into Ashling the Pilgrim.
 
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]
 
* [[Attack Attack Attack]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Blood Knight]]- Tsukasa seems to enjoy fighting a little ''too'' much.
* [[Berserk Button]] - Katsurou in particular tends to push this button a lot.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Skinship Grope]] - Mostly to figure out Kaede's true gender. Needless to say, the Gropee did not [[Berserk Button|like that]].
* [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better]]
 
=== '''Miyuki Fusoku''' ===
 
Miyuki didn't really have a fantastic childhood. She was left alone with her mom and brother after her father died in a car crash, and had a really close relationship with her brother, ([[Brother-Sister Incest|hahahahahahaha]][[Dude, Not Funny|no.)]] who then disappeared. Since then, Miyuki has been attempting to regain that close relationship with someone else, but hasn't found anyone yet. She operated as a normal high school student for a while, a girl that seemed a bit too nice to hang out with the ditzy crowds she usually hung out with.
 
Line 43 ⟶ 39:
* [[Siege Engines]]: Her persona's "attack animation" is it firing the catapults and ballistae planted on its walls.
 
=== '''Manabu Kaerunuma''' ===
[[File:manabu_tropes_5429manabu tropes 5429.png|frame|kerokerokero]]
 
Manabu is the one and only member of the Occult Club at Taiyoutono, a club dedicated to seeking out strange, mystical things in everyday life. However, he's also well known as a stalker and all around creepy guy, often following girls home from school and watching their every movements. Though lately he's tried justifying it by saying he follows them in case the Butterfly tries to abduct them, he can't deny that he has feelings toward Miyuki, who he stalked for a brief time before they were both whisked off by the Butterfly. Underneath his creepy exterior, one finds impressive self-esteem issues, many brought on by both the abuse in his life and how he was treated when he was younger. Because of this, he has come to hate himself and everything he does. His Persona is [[H.P. Lovecraft|Cyeggha]] of the Moon Arcana.

Though lately he's tried justifying it by saying he follows them in case the Butterfly tries to abduct them, he can't deny that he has feelings toward Miyuki, who he stalked for a brief time before they were both whisked off by the Butterfly. Underneath his creepy exterior, one finds impressive self-esteem issues, many brought on by both the abuse in his life and how he was treated when he was younger. Because of this, he has come to hate himself and everything he does. His Persona is [[HP Lovecraft|Cyeggha]] of the Moon Arcana.
 
When he and the other three people he entered the ruins with awakened to their Personas, Manabu was the only one to try to deny his power. His Persona, not approving of this, possessed Manabu and forced him to try to rape Miyuki. Though Miyuki managed to force him off, the psychological effects on both individuals caused further ramifications. As time passed, Manabu's sanity continued to slip due to constant psychological assault from his Persona. After trying to rape Miyuki once more and being stabbed by his girlfriend, Haruka, Manabu ran off to the ruins to try to escape the outside world.
Line 55 ⟶ 50:
Lately Manabu has been teetering between sanity and insanity after a few encounters with Kogane (who attempted to help his mental issues) and Sora (who reinforced some of the darker thoughts of Manabu's mind). Due to his wishes to fully understand the ruins, he's begun trying to seek out Miss Yellow... though what that will result in, no one's quite sure.
 
With some help from Kira, Manabu manages to work up the courage to apologize to Miyuki. Though she doesn't accept his apology, the action allows Manabu's persona to ascend to [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Kuranes]]. He now works with Kumori and Treo in making a comprehensive compendium of Shadows, Personae, and the Ruins.
 
* [[Attempted Rape|Attempted Rapist]]: Tried it ''twice'' on the same girl. The first time he was [[Demonic Possession|possessed by his Persona.]] The second time... not so much.
Line 66 ⟶ 61:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Manabu was constantly abused by his parents (and still is abused by his father, now that his parents have divorced) as a child, and frequently bullied in grade school for his [[Gonk|froglike]] appearance, leading to his extreme self-esteem issues and cowardice, which in turn have led to all of his problems with his Persona.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Attempts to eat Ayane during one topic after living in the ruins. {{spoiler|In an [[Alternate Universe]] topic, he eats Miyuki alive as he rapes her after going completely insane.}}
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: If someone doesn't know Manabu's name, then they certainly know his nickname, Frogface. {{spoiler|He actually hates the name so much that it was enough to send him into a rage in [http://s1.zetaboards.com/Persona_Rebirth/topic/4225796/1/ Frogface In Repose].}}
* [[Kill the God]]: {{spoiler|Recently announced his intention to do this to the Butterfly.}}
* [[Laughing Mad]]: It says a lot about your sanity levels when you've spent almost an entire thread laughing, Manabu...
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: Part of the reason Manabu completely lost it was his crush on Miyuki. His Persona forced him to try to reciprocate his feelings... by trying to ''rape her.''
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Manabu means "study; learn", which is certainly something he spends a lot of time doing, particularly in regards to other people in his school. Kaerunuma means "frog pond", alluding to his froglike appearance.
* [[Misunderstood Loner Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Played with. While he does turn out to be a nice enough guy if you can befriend him, he ''did'' blackmail Haruka into dating him and attempted to rape Miyuki.
* [[Power Born of Madness]]/[[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Manabu has the potential to ascend to [[Eldritch Abomination|Nyarlathotep]], but the only way for him to do so is to lose his mind completely. {{spoiler|It happened in an [[Alternate Universe]] thread after he ate Miyuki alive.}}
* [[Sanity Slippage]]
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Is this toward Miyuki, though he doesn't quite realize it himself either.
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: Does this at one point after Cyeggha starts talking to him.
 
=== '''Michi Hargrave''' ===
[[File:michi_tropes_4243michi tropes 4243.png|frame|"Pepper spray is a good medium... fairly cheap..."]]
 
 
Michi is your average (for Nagashima) insane child. She talks to her three dolls, a teddy bear, a bunny rabbit, and a Shisa doll, and thinks that they talk to her. The Shisa doll is the only doll that "talks" to her; it is actually her Persona speaking to her, rather than the doll actually doing the talking. She's not mentally unstable, but she's mentally damamged enough to be unable to recognize the difference between reality and her own little world. She's extremely nice, but frequently freaks other students out.
 
* [[I Reject Your Reality]]: The girl doesn't like society and its reality at all.
* [[Pyromaniac]]: She likes fire. A lot. To the point of having a homemade flamethrower.
 
=== '''Naoya Imoto''' ===
 
The [[Shrinking Violet|socially awkward]] nephew of Shin Imoto, and a former friend of Toru Watanabe. Naoya has difficulty communicating, and tends to feel out of place. At least part of this is due to his recent stay in a hospital, which lasted almost a year. While he wants to help people, and his persona, Krishna of the Judgment Arcanum, wants him to act more heroically, he's having difficulty.
 
Line 94 ⟶ 87:
* [[Cain and Abel]]: The Abel to Toru's Cain.
* [[Chaotic Good]]: Though generally well-meaning, he is something of a deviant and sees no problem with selling weaponry.
* [[Covered Withwith Scars]]: His scalp. He always keeps it covered, and his hair is taking a long time to grow in.
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: Has a habit of ending up in unpleasant situations.
* [[Fleeting Passionate Hobbies]]: Has been shown starting a rooftop garden, forging weaponry, cooking, and making video-journals; allusions have been made to journaling, cryptography (for said journals; he lost the key,) playing bass, and aikido.
* [[Hindu Mythology]]: His persona is Krishna of the Judgment Arcanum.
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: His anti-tentacle tactic in a battle against Takumi
* [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon|Guy With A Psycho Weapon]]: Recently made an [[Whip Sword|Urumi]].
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Found information Shin was given on the ruins and proceeded to "jump." Apparently the only example of this in Rebirth.
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: Commonly carries a small flip camera which he uses to record everything.
Line 106 ⟶ 99:
* [[Nephewism]]: lives with his uncle, Shin Imoto.
* [[Never Bareheaded]]
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic]]: Taken past realistic and into incomprehensible circuitousness sometimes.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Blue to Charlie's Red, the Red to Shin's Blue.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Effectively -- heEffectively—he is the opposite of eloquent.
* [[Speech Impediment]]: As a result of the brain damage he suffered in his past.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: With Charlie
Line 116 ⟶ 109:
* [[The Wise Prince]]
 
=== '''Charles "Charlie" Oliviera''' ===
A young man who loves a fight, and cooking a good meal even more, he transferred from Canada after his mother got a job as a foreign idol, after living a strange childhood full of fights, traveling, and fluency in 6 languages. A former delinquent, he tries to change his ways, but trouble always seems to find a way to follow him. [[Journey to the West|His persona, Sun Wukong, is a monkey who ran around beating up and stealing from as many people as he could, until he had been imprisoned and sent to work as a heavenly stable worker, until he was recruited to escort a monk to India.]] He may be one of the more normal characters, at least, if a little quirky...

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: He's been mistaken for Japanese, Latino, American, all sorts of things. He speaks Japanese, Korean, Filipino, and Spanish, on top of that. All that's really known is that he's not white.
Line 128 ⟶ 120:
* [[Groin Attack]]: Toru's counter after Charles powerbombed him.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: His character profile even states that he played too much [[Ryu ga Gotoku|Yakuza]] and [[Dead Rising]].
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: His persona, Sun Wukong, was more or less a delinquent. Complete with the youthful brashness and rowdynessrowdiness, until someone in a postion of power told him to knock it the hell off. For Wukong, it was a council of gods. For Charles, it was his mother.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Even if he has one of his combo weapons, or whatever else, he never leaves home without a balisong.
* [[Le Parkour]]: Charles' first appearance; he vaults over another boy, spins around in the air, and punches him right in the face. Not to mention that he tends to make entrances by jumping off of nearby rooftops.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The Red to pretty everyone's Blue. He's not exactly the chill type. And his favorite color is red, too.
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: Both Charles and his persona. Wukong in [[Journey to Thethe West|his story]] pretty much existed only to harass people and escort a monk to India. Charles pretty much exists to fight and break things, and subtly troll others.
** This now has a double meaning, as Charles earned the ability to do the [[Devil May Cry|Dash from the Trickster style.]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: In one of his earlier threads, he vertical suplexed Toru into a fountain, followed by a powerbomb, after Toru had attempted to put him into a guard. Later after that, he missile dropkicks a dog off of Eiji.
 
=== '''Sakura Kureno''' ===
 
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: A lesbian tsundere with a great body. She once got turned to a [[Catgirl]], which had pink hair and a sailor suit. There have been various other occurrences, and more to come.

* [[Tsundere]]: Type A
 
== '''Kyomu Monto''' ==
 
=== Kyomu Monto ===
{{quote| {{spoiler|"I am a monster, Hikaru! A filthy, hateful creature! I want nothing but your death, our sister's death, our father's and our mother's! The whole would will be torn apart by these hands!"}}}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|"I am a monster, Hikaru! A filthy, hateful creature! I want nothing but your death, our sister's death, our father's and our mother's! The whole would will be torn apart by these hands!"}}}}
 
Kyomu Monto is a year one girl, who throughout most of her life was fairly ignored next to her overactive younger brother and overacheiving older sister. As such, she was very [[Lonely Rich Kid|lonely]]. Not that she cared. In fact she spent most of her time actively avoiding attention, not having many friends and spending her time reading or watching anime or playing videogames. Throughout her time she decided that life had no meaning, so there wasn't any point trying.
 
Then she got her Persona, [[Final Fantasy V|Exdea-]] Exodus.
 
She decided that she would use this power and the shadows to [[Nietzsche Wannabe|destroy the world]], and set out to manipulate others into helping her do so. She has so far managed to only be able to fully manipulate one person, Isoroku, but has since been feeling rather guilty about some of the stuff she did to the other girl...
 
{{spoiler|After certain events where she was (temporailrytemporarily any way) put in a wheelchair she was given [[Artificial Limbs]] by a certain Russain. She used these to try and kill Isoroku's boyfriend (Kakeru), who put her in the wheelchair, but ended up making Isoroku do it with one of her Persona's skills. When Isoroku went [[Super-Powered Evil Side|monster form]] she let her almost kill her, till Kakeru calmed the other girl down. She believes Isoroku hates her since then, and doesn't speak to her at all (though still likes to watch over her secretly)}}
 
Soon after she brought a boy named [[Love Freak|Kouji]] to the ruins, and made a bet with him over whether or not her nihilism was well placed. If Kouji could stick by his beliefs then she would admit she was wrong, but if Kouji lost them he would beg for forgiveness for his lies. [[Opposites Attract|Soon after they hooked up]], though Kyomu hasn't addmittedadmitted she was wrong yet.
 
Things were getting better, with Kouji's help. She went to go live with him for a while, though still Exodus said he did not like how things were turning out. Though other then one 'nightmare' where he attacked her, nothing happened. Kyomu decided that she was going to apologise to Isoroku, with Kouji there. The meeting together went well, and Kyomu was happy to find that Isoroku truly didn't hate her. {{spoiler|And then Exodus took over, and attempted to kill both Kouji and Isoroku. Kouji was forced to initiate command Alpha Beta, and Kyomu's cyborg limbs fell off. She then went monster form, and attacked everyone in the park. Kouji and Isoroku both went Monster, causing chaos. Kyomu started killing everyone in the park, ignoring Isoroku and Kouji, till other persona users came and stopped her. Aleksandria then came in a helicopter and took her away.}}
 
{{spoiler|During the trip in the helicopter Kyomu expressed her pure hatred for Exodus, and how she realized that she was an monster. Exodus disappeared and was replaced by AM, representing how she views herself. She now has new, better, cybernetic limbs and intends to use them and her new persona to kill everyone, deciding to start with those who were close to her...}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster]]: How she views herself, and acts like. She still finds herself unable to actually kill anyone when not under complete control of her persona. Though, consider the shit she's endured, she may be more [[Jerkass Woobie]].}}
* [[Character Development]]: Definetely showing the starting signs of it, starting to think of Isoroku to be more of a friend then a tool at least. {{spoiler|And then she Descended.}}
* [[Creepy Monotone]]: Sometimes speaks in a monotone, but she usually isn't malicious when doing so. {{spoiler|You should be more [[Unstoppable Rage|worried]] [[Yandere|when]] she she stops... Unless you're Kouji.}} It has completely gone now {{spoiler|due to her Descension.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Cyborg]]: Of the [[Artificial Limbs]] variety, given to her by a Russian she met in the ruins for free. After losing her first set she got new, better ones. In return for this she is working with Aleksandria}}
* [[Determinator]]: Strangely for someone like her, she shows this trait at times. She even says she believes strength to be "... The will to push on forwards, always standing by the view that you think is right.". It just so happens that right to her is that the world is pointless, and should be destroyed for it.
* [[Large Ham]]: What do you expect, with [[Final Fantasy V|Exdea-]] I MEAN EXODUS as her Persona?. {{spoiler|And then [[I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream|AM]].}}
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Her family is fairly wealthy, and she was rather lonely as a child. [[Subverted Trope|She never really cared]].
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Her main goal is destroy the world, as life is pointless.
Line 173 ⟶ 163:
* [[Opposites Attract]]: Her and Kouji.
 
=== '''Kouji Sakuma''' ===
A sixteen-year old boy in his first year of high school who had a very happy childhood and grew up more or less on fairy tales. His most defining characteristic is that he loves everyone. [[Love Freak|Everyone]].
 
His Persona is [[Classical Mythology|Cupid]], represented here by a [[Moe Moe|cute]], [[Winged Humanoid|winged boy]], who is a little [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]] for some reason.
 
* [[The Archer]]: Wields a bow and arrow, but does not come with the personality archetype by an, uhm, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|longshot]].
* [[Cuddle Bug]]: He just wants to hug everyone.
* [[Emotions vs. Stoicism]]: More or less started a bet with Kyomu about who could [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism|prove their philosophy to the other.]]
* [[Innocent Blue Eyes]]: Shares the trait with his Persona.
* [[Kissing Under the Influence]]: Kissed Kyomu for the first time when affected by her Marin Karin.
* [[Light'Em Up]]: His only offensive spell at the moment is light-based.
* [[Long -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Kind of.
* [[Love God]]: His Persona, Cupid.
* [[Love Freak]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: But a bit of an idiot.
* [[For Happiness]]: He loves everyone, thus he wants everyone to be happy.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: The chemistry between him and [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Kyomu]].
* [[The Power of Love]] / [[The Power of Friendship]]: Believes in it. Hard.
* [[Red Mage]]: Currently has as many offensive skills as support skills.
* [[Stupid Good]]: Wants to do what he believes to be the right thing, but makes some really dumb decisions along the way.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: Truly believes love will solve everything and that everyone is really a good person on the inside.
 
=== '''Kinzaki 'Charlotte' Kirihara''' ===
[[Yamato Nadeshiko|Gentle, polite and calm]], Kinzaki is an epitome of ideal Japanese lady despite being half-French. It's a pity that she [[Hates Being Touched|doesn't like being touched by men]].
 
Line 204 ⟶ 194:
** [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]
* [[Hates Being Touched]]: At least by men (including her father).
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Surprisingly again, despite her usually gentle nature.
* [[Joan of Arc]]: Her Persona.
* [[Kimono Is Traditional]]: She likes wearing kimono wherever she goes, even school.
** [[Kimono Fanservice]]: Yay.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
 
== Year 2 Students ==
=== '''Kaede Susaki''' ===
[[File:kaede_tropes_copy_6517kaede tropes copy 6517.png|frame|I WILL END YOU]]
 
 
Leader of the "good guy" group, Kaede Susaki is a sailor-mouthed, asocial artist who is best known for causing problems among the student populace and being an all around [[Jerkass]]. One thing most of the student populace doesn't know is that Kaede is actually a girl, due to her boyish appearance and general unpleasant attitude. Her Persona is [[Norse Mythology|Skuld]] of the Fortune Arcana, and she uses knives as weapons.
Line 225 ⟶ 214:
* [[Bifauxnen]]
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Dropped A Bridget On A Group of First Year Girls, Plus One Lesbian:]] [httphttps://s1web.zetaboardsarchive.org/web/20191217040113/https://www.tapatalk.com/Persona_Rebirthgroups/singlepersona_rebirth/?p=262879&t=4125192valentine-39-s-day-extravaganza-explosion-of-passi-t1673.html Yeeeep.]
* [[Expy]]: of [[Persona 4|Naoto]] in appearance only.
* [[Knife Nut]]: Uses a [[Improbable Weapon User|knife hidden in a fan]] as a weapon. Isn't very good with it.
Line 232 ⟶ 221:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Her beret. Sora even prefers to call her Beret instead of her actual name.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Like Kaji, Kaede didn't really plan on returning to the ruins. It was only when she realized Sora was going to abuse his powers that she decided to make her own faction of Persona users.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: It wasn't until about halfway through [https://web.archive.org/web/20180711132843/http://s1.zetaboards.com/Persona_Rebirth/topic/4104152/1/ "Butterflies are jackasses"] that she was outed as a girl.
* {{spoiler|[[Seer]]}}
 
=== '''Kaji Okawa''' ===
 
Kaji is the local teenage vigilante. Those are in every fictional Japanese town, right? He's cool and collected, but has an undeniable thirst to punish criminals and an odd hero complex. The only person to, so far, find out about his vigilante antics is Kaede Susaki, and she's not telling anyone, so [[Blatant Lies|it's possible it'll remain a secret forever.]] His persona is [[Alexander the Great|Bucephalus]] of the Tower arcana.
 
He started his life in another town, that was filled with Yakuza. He and his friend, Ryoma, were sick of all the violence happening all around them, and decided to dress up in ridiculous costumes and fight crime. Initially, they were rather successful. And then they were actually recognized as a minor threat, and were nearly silenced. One night, they were ambushed by a ridiculous number of men. Kaji let his friend escape and took most of the beating himself. His mom found out the next morning when he was hanging, half dead, from a light post by his cape. She was not really pleased, and sent him to Nagashima to live with his relative.
 
After an uneventful period of time, going around beating up criminals, Kaji found himself, along with three others, in the ruins. He awakened his persona, and has currently resolved to join Kaede's team, condemning the member of Sora's team as criminals.
 
* [[Badass Normal]]: Even before he got his persona powers, Kaji was beating criminals up and down the streets of Nagashima.
Line 247 ⟶ 235:
* [[Cool Train]]: His persona is a ''dinosaur train that shoots lightning.''
* [[Expy]]: [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Kaji would like you to return that life to god.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]:}} {{spoiler|Succumbs to his Shadow's hannibal lecturing, essentially "ascending" the wrong way and becoming a [[Knight Templar]].}}
* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]: "Kaji Okawa runs around in spandex and beats up people."
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: It's a bat that transforms into a staff that transforms into a spear thing. Goddamn.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Would you like to see his staff?
Line 254 ⟶ 242:
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Kaji ''really'' did not want to return to the ruins. [[Order Versus Chaos|Circumstances]] changed his mind.
* [[Simple Staff]]: His weapon. At least, when it isn't a [[Blade Onon a Stick|spear]] or a [[Batter Up|bat.]]
* [[Superhero]]: Well, at least he tries to be.
* [[Vigilante Man]]
 
=== Satosu Hasha ===
 
== '''Satosu Hasha''' ==
 
One of the school's resident playboys, Satosu Hasha is a suave, charming young man who happens to have the attention of damn near every girl in the school. Including those who already have boyfriends. ''And some of the guys.'' His charming face is just a facade, however: he enjoys stringing people around as though they were his playthings, never really intending to get into a relationship with them. He constantly teases girls, while never actually getting into a relationship. That would just hurt their feelings when they realized he was just screwing with them all along. And that could hurt his reputation. His persona is [[Greek Mythology|Narcissus]] of the Judgement Arcana.
 
Line 268 ⟶ 254:
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: To the point of asking Kira if he was free to oogle her.
* [[Consummate Liar]]
* [[Expy]]: [[Kamen Rider Den -O|Satosu would like to know if you'd mind if he reeled you in.]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Satosu will, eventually, be able to use fire, ice, lightning, and wind spells.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Subverted. Satosu enjoys leading girls along, sure, but he'd never sleep with them. It's against his principles.
Line 274 ⟶ 260:
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Sure, he resists all four base elements, but he's crippling weak to both of the instant death spells AND physical spells!
 
=== '''Ryouta Endo''' ===
 
Ryouta is rather infamously known as the unluckiest boy at Taiyoutono high. His track record of unlucky escapades range from simply tripping over his shoelaces, to ''making anvils fall from the sky when there was no clear high point nearby for them to be dropped off of.''
 
Line 281 ⟶ 266:
 
* [[Born Unlucky]]: And ''how.''
* [[The Pollyana]]: Despite all the awful stuff he goes through, Ryouta almost always tries to keep a positive attitude, though there have been occasions where he's had small breakdowns.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]
 
=== '''Ryoichi Shimizu''' ===
[[File:ryoichi_tropes_9546ryoichi tropes 9546.png|frame|"Oh yes, certainly-- er, what were we talking about again?"]]
 
 
Ryoichi is one of the more normal students at the school, despite being a member of the infamous "Ryotrio". He's ridiculously forgetful, but manages to ace tests due to his ridiculous luck. When he was younger, his cousin Yuzuki lived with him, and they were both friends with Ayane. His Persona is Ebisu of the Sun Arcana, which manifests itself as a leech-bodied fisherman.
Line 294 ⟶ 278:
Later, he's one of the many Persona users to catch Hoculus. After Sora visits him, he has an epiphany and decides that he wants to dedicate himself to protecting his friends, prompting his Persona's ascension into Okuninushi.]]
 
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Uses a collapsible spear for a weapon.
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: Came ''very'' close to this, but thanks to his friends, he was able to reconsider.}}
* [[Forgetful Jones]]
Line 300 ⟶ 284:
* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Kill]]: Believes that his purpose is to give these out to anyone suffering in the world. Gets over it.}}
* [[Nice Guy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]]}}
 
=== '''Sora Mori''' ===
Sora is one of Taiyoutono's many attractive males. Unfortunately for the entire student body however, he is also a complete douche bag. Sora makes it seem like he almost goes out of his way to be a terrible person. He's been caught selling drugs, stealing, and is most infamous for leaving a trail of broken hearts throughout the school.
 
Sora is one of Taiyoutono's many attractive males. Unfortunately for the entire student body however, he is also a complete douche bag. Sora makes it seem like he almost goes out of his way to be a terrible person. He's been caught selling drugs before, stealing, and is most infamous for leaving a trail of broken hearts throughout the school.
 
There is little justification that he gives for his actions other than the standard [[Crapsack World|"The world is a terrible place"]], and that he's just playing his part. A look into his history reveals he's from a very long line of criminals, traceable back to the feudal era. His parents, being a part of this bloodline, were less than stellar role models. Due to the events of his childhood and the genetic code he carries, Sora believes that he literally has no other choice than to be evil. It's been implied that that may not be entirely true.
Line 310 ⟶ 293:
He's one of the wild cards on the forum, and as such, has more than one Persona. He has a strange Egyptian like reptile named Nu, and what is essentially a European sex fairy named Gancanagh. He also has Amatsu-Mikaboshi, a persona with powerful almighty skills, {{spoiler|and resolved into Lucifer.}}
 
As of now,{{when}} {{spoiler|after a brief period of [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|flirting with insanity]] and succumbing to his evil side, even resolving to Lucifer, Sora's decided to try being nice for a change after some people try to talk sense into him.}}
 
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: An Axe is his weapon of choice. The weapon in question just so happens to be the same axe his uncle murdered a bunch of people with.
* [[Bishonen]]: Sora uses this to his advantage to manipulate women.
* [[Friends Withwith Benefits]]: It would seem that Sora often had a relationship like this with his past girlfriends. Chances are likely that he's never been in a real romantic relationship before.
* [[In the Blood]]: One of the reasons Sora is {{spoiler|(or pretends to be)}} evil.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: It's either that or he's secretly a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|nice guy.]] This issue hasn't been resolved yet.
 
== '''Kumori Yatsu''' ==
[[File:GdbZ7l_2323.jpg|frame|Kumori Yatsu in a rare moment of consciousness.]]
 
=== Kumori Yatsu ===
[[File:GdbZ7l 2323.jpg|frame|Kumori Yatsu in a rare moment of consciousness.]]
 
Most of Kumori's classmates don't realize that he exists, and they do, then they probably only remember him by face or by rumours. After all, it's rather hard to get to know someone who sleeps through nearly all of his classes. Though completely unmotivated, he is [[Teen Genius|at the top of his class]] on account of his sheer intelligence alone. Behind his facade, he is a kind and considerate individual and overall one of the more normal students, almost to an [[Extreme Doormat|unnatural degree]]. His Persona is the mythological [[Classical Mythology|hero]] [[Deadpan Snarker|Achilles]], who he gets along fairly well with. He tends to explore the ruins on his own, not choosing to take a [[Neutral Neutral|side]] in the Sora versus Kaede conflict due to his [[Non-Action Guy|unwillingness]] to get into direct conflict with his fellow classmates. In fact, when he does bump into people in the ruins, he tends to help them as best he can regardless of faction.
Line 343 ⟶ 325:
* [[The Stoic]]: Kumori is generally able to keep his cool throughout the strange things that happen at his school. It also helps that he is half-asleep for most of his time at school, leading to some [[Genius Ditz|quirky]] behaviour at times.
 
=== '''Haruka Rin''' ===
Haruka Rin would seem to be the example of the perfect student. Her grades are excellent, her parents are both wealthy lawyers, she takes care of her appearance, and she often excels in the activities she participates in. The problem? Haruka is a schizophrenic. As a result the girl has little sense of identity left, only grasping onto fragments of her old self. It's unclear whether or not her voices reflect what she is personally feeling, or if they are independent of her real thoughts.

As a result the girl has little sense of identity left, only grasping onto fragments of her old self. It's unclear whether or not her voices reflect what she is personally feeling, or if they are independent of her real thoughts.
 
She currently has not aligned herself with either faction, though she tends to explore more with members of Kaede's team. Haruka finds the whole situation to be rather foolish. A certain awkward care has been shown for Manabu, whom she now has shown a desire to protect. This is likely due to the incident that happened between the two earlier.
Line 356 ⟶ 337:
* [[Ice Queen]]: She often can act rather coldly to people, which can likely be blamed on her fragmented personality. It also helps that she is predominately aligned with Ice type spells.
* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]]: It's been implied that her voices have compelled her to attack people before, though the most recent example came when {{spoiler|she tried to kill Manabu with a broken beer bottle. The ringer? She did it because they convinced her it was helping him.}}
* [[The Schizophrenia Conspiracy]]: Mostly averted. The Role Player is doing her best to portray Haruka as a realistic Schizophrenic. Of course, not being a doctor or expert on the disease, some slips are bound to be made.
 
== '''Yuuki Mikawa''' ==
 
=== Yuuki Mikawa ===
* [[Third Person Person]]
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: He has long hair, wears very pretty dresses, and acts and looks generally very girly... but also happens to be quite male. Not that you would know unless you happened to catch the odd [[Panty Shot]].
 
=== '''Toru Watanabe''' ===
Seemingly a straight-laced young man who doesn't have a family, doesn't bother anyone, and participates in a variety of school activities. He also happens to be living on autopilot until he gets irritated, or notices that he has feelings of any variety—at which point, he tends to become rather violent.

* [[Ax Crazy]]
Line 388 ⟶ 367:
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[The Resenter]]: towards Naoya.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Named for the main character of [[Haruki Murakami]]'s ''[[Norwegian Wood (Literature)|Norwegian Wood]]''.
* [[The Soulless]]: Essentially [[Empty Shell]] with an extra helping of violence.
* [[The Unfettered]]
Line 394 ⟶ 373:
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]
 
=== '''Yuuto "Yuu" Hayashi''' ===
 
A half-Japanese, half-British boy with eccentric habits, Yuuto was raised by his parents in a rather unconventional manner, encouraging him to just [[Be Yourself|be himself]]. This ended up making him a social pariah when he entered school, giving him a desire for friendship and approval even as he became an introvert. When Yuuto's father was offered a higher-paying job at Roketto University in Nagashima, his family moved there and enrolled him in Taiyoutono High, where he became the only male member of Taiyoutono's Cooking Club. His Persona is Eros, of the Lovers Arcana.
 
Line 409 ⟶ 387:
* [[Combat Medic]]: Eros has both healing spells and damaging spells in his arsenal.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: To the degree that he's inflicted [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] syndrome upon four people at once.
* [[Expy]]: Of Severin from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120604015015/http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2718227/1/Fragile Fragile]''.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Eros has good attack skills, magic and debuffs, nullifies [[Making a Splash|Water]] and resists [[Blow You Away|Wind]]. However, he is weak to three elements at once, including [[Casting a Shadow|Darkness]].
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: But his fear of rejection makes it hard for him.
Line 419 ⟶ 397:
* [[Thinking Out Loud]]: Common for him.
 
=== '''Rio Matsushita''' ===
 
The only introduced member of Taiyoutono's school newspaper, Rio has a penchant for drug use, zero tact, and more money than she should.
 
Line 428 ⟶ 405:
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Half of her power package.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: Does drugs, but has a well-developed sense of self-preservation and a love of uncovering the truth.
* [[Expy]]: She is a Japanese Schoolgirl who acts like [[Hunter S. Thompson]].
** [[Sailor Nothing|Now where have I heard that before?]]
* [[Forum Pecking Order]]: The creator of the meta-forum, Bedlam.
* [[Gonk]]: Her Persona is a toad-like man in a crumpled suit.
* [[Gonzo Journalism]]: Presumably writes her articles in this style.
* [[Hunter S. Thompson]]: Her current persona, Uncle Lono, is essentially a shark man that acts like the father of gonzo journalism.
* [[Ill Girl]]: During the Hoculus outbreak, though not played for Moe. The bucket hat and aviators see to that.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Has some shades of this.
Line 440 ⟶ 417:
* [[Nixon Mask]]: Everyone gains their powers through a mask. Rio gets hers through a supernatural Richard Nixon mask.
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Did you notice the part where she's a Japanese School Girl who acts like Hunter S. Thompson and gets her powers through a Richard Nixon mask?
* [[Selfish Good, Selfish Evil|Selfish Good]]: Created Bedlam, a legitimately useful way to share information, primarily so that she would have access to what was going on.
* [[Sensor Character]]: Has zero offensive capability.
* [[Serious Business]]: Her persona's Briefcase of Infinite Knowledge.
Line 447 ⟶ 424:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Loves her grapefruit. Never seen without them.
 
=== '''Takahata Eiji''' ===
 
Just a simple country boy. Eiji lived an uneventful life with his extended family out in the country, but eventually grew weary of it, wanting to experience the excitement that is going to school in the city. [[Be Careful What You Wish For|Naturally, the closest city was Nagashima.]]
 
* {{spoiler|[[Bi the Way]]}}
* [[Country Mouse]]: Actually sort of a touchy subject for him.
* [[Knife Nut]]
Line 459 ⟶ 435:
* [[The Rival]]: With Kaburagi Joe, almost to [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] levels.
 
=== '''Tomatsu Kenta''' ===
 
Toma is a relatively normal 17 year old who lives with his mother after she and his father broke up. When he was younger Toma was violent boy who often got into trouble because of it, but later became less so when his teacher taught him to calm himself via [[Oral Fixation Fixation|the chewing of toothpicks]]. He vowed not to fight another person again to his teacher when he left for High School, a vow he has kept so far. He still, however, can be easily angered by most things, an anger which he sometimes struggles to contain.
 
Line 466 ⟶ 441:
 
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: His tone and the things that he say make him seem like a jerk sometimes, but he means well.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: His weapon of choice is a 5 foot long katana.
* [[Oral Fixation Fixation]]: The above mentioned chewing of toothpicks.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: People suggesting that Personae can [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|be good]] or Personae taking over people.
 
== '''Matro Ora''' ==
 
=== Matro Ora ===
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: There's not much a guy with one arm can do, but his books have never failed him in the past.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Even if it comes out wrong, Matro will never hide the truth.
 
=== '''Itsuki Kondo''' ===
 
One of the local delinquents at Taiyoutono, Itsuki is rude, loudmouthed and loves to fight. However, beneath the asshole exterior lies a man with a troubled past and a heap of issues. His persona is [[Norse Mythology|Garm]], of the Chariot Arcana.
 
Line 495 ⟶ 468:
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]
* [[Japanese Delinquents]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Despite being a quarrelsome delinquent, he is capable of being a decent person, such as when he offers to help Kaya and her mother with the motorcycle they were fixing before delinquents smashed it up.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: He says [[Cluster F-Bomb|"fuck" and "shit"]] quite often.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Garm has an ultimate attack called "Howling Hazard", the name of an attack used by ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' boss Fenrir.
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]
 
== '''S. Harkens''' ==
 
=== S. Harkens ===
An exchange student of questionable history, Harkens is not known to be a paragon of either normality or morality. Enjoys keeping himself busy with various random hobbies and weirding out his peers. His persona is Gaius Caligula of the Justice Arcana.
 
Line 509 ⟶ 481:
* [[The Sociopath]]: While not bloodthirsty, he is fairly amoral and has some problem understanding right and wrong.
 
=== '''Aleksandrina Fyodor''' ===
 
== '''Tamago Hayase''' ==
 
=== Tamago Hayase ===
* [[Genki Girl]]
 
=== Isoroku Mayoi ===
 
A painfully [[Shrinking Violet|shy]] [[Meganekko|bespectacled]] girl who loves to read and has a [[Photographic Memory]]. Now in a relationship with Kakeru.
== '''Isoroku Mayoi''' ==
 
A painfully [[Shrinking Violet|shy]] [[Meganekko|bespectacled]] girl who loves to read and has a [[Photographic Memory]]. Now in relationship with Kakeru.
 
* [[Blow You Away]]
Line 533 ⟶ 502:
* [[The Woobie]]: Her life sucks.
 
=== Takashi Kurotobi ===
 
== '''Takashi Kurotobi''' ==
 
* [[Blow You Away]]: Most of his persona's skills are wind based.
* [[Friendless Background]]
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Not Good Withwith People]]: A partial type one, while he can talk to people, he's not very good at it.
* [[One Steve Limit|One Takashi Limit]]: Breaks it,[[Shrinking Violet|he]] shares a name with [[Sir Swearsalot|Takashi]] [[Badass Teacher|Kouno]]
* [[Perky Goth]]: Dresses like one just because he likes the look.
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Has charm and confusion spells.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: [[Zig -Zagging Trope|Zig -Zagged]], it's [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that his "anime red" comes from hair dye, but without it he's still a natural redhead.
 
 
== '''Nana Samurakami''' ==
[[File:nana_tropes_5443.png|frame|Sukeban from Osaka]]
 
=== Nana Samurakami ===
[[File:nana tropes 5443.png|frame|Sukeban from Osaka]]
 
Nana is an infamous former [[Japanese Delinquent|sukeban]], and student of Taiyoutono. Once one of the most feared delinquents in the school, she went straight after her father was killed in a car accident. After receiving her Persona, she starts acting the mentor to Ryuunosuke and helps him both rescue Hotaru and gain a new confidence in himself.
Line 568 ⟶ 533:
 
== Year 3 Students ==
=== '''Kira Kameko''' ===
 
Probably one of the least insane characters in the city. Beyond a strange preference for wearing boxers, she's got very normal hobbies and reasons for having those hobbies. The strangeness around her HAS played its part in her development as a person, and she's a bit of a coward, but she is definitely one of the more stable personalities and friendly when not going through a rough patch.
 
Line 584 ⟶ 548:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Though she's usually polite enough to keep it to herself, she has little tolerance for idiocy or craziness.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: For no immediately apparent reason, she gets more female valentines then male. Girls seem to have trouble telling she's not a boy, despite her appearance not being remotely masculine outside her state of dress and demeanor/height. It's to the point she genuinely worries she looks like a dude.
* [[Expy]]: Kira herself is not one, but her monster form is blatantly based on the [[Power Rangers Wild Force|Wild Force Batalizer]] and [[MegamanMega Man Battle Network|Grieger Mode Megaman]] in appearance, and [[Deadly Premonition|the Raincoat Killer]] in personality.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Lacks physical strength, but is noted as being one of the fastest members of the Track and Field club.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Secretly resents the people she helps for getting in trouble in the first place, forcing her to risk her neck or put up with a snowball of wacky hijinks by pulling them out. Hates herself for feeling this way.
Line 594 ⟶ 558:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Not as bad as most cases. Her parents are workaholics with long hours to support their lifestyles, so she doesn't see them often. Her older sister tried to step in to fulfill that role, with mixed results, and her 'family' in the US helped substitute. She still spends time with them, and doesn't entirely mind the gap.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Straddles the line. She's normally Blue Oni, thinking logically and letting people who say "it's not what it looks like" try to explain. When it comes to helping people or something sets off her fight/flight response, however, she acts distinctly Red Oni.
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: She won't start a fight, but she'll sure as hell end one. More directly, she has a strong aversion to killing someone, but not beating them up.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: Her life was getting pretty crappy when Chouko started stalking her, but even with all that she was able to start a steady relationship with Ryouta. The fact he has a girlfriend who is willing to go through all his bad luck to be with him means this can apply to him too.
 
== '''Akiko Hideyoshi''' ==
 
=== Akiko Hideyoshi ===
The town's local cowboy, as if Nagashima wasn't odd enough. Has a habit of calling people nicknames they don't want, has a ton of guns, and is fucking his cousin.
 
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Akiko is actually ''male'', despite his girly name. However, he doesn't seem to mind being called by it.
 
=== '''Yuzuki Shimizu''' ===
 
The current President of Taiyoutono High's Student Council.
 
* [[All the Myriad Ways]]: Prior to the events of You Don't Want to End Up That Way, Yuzuki was able to see alternate realities. This did not have [[Break the Cutie|positive]] [[Laughing Mad|effects]] [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|on]] [[Put the Laughter In Slaughter|her]] [[Insane Equals Violent|mental]] [[Mad Bomber|health]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Yuzuki acts childish but seems to be quite willing to listen to what her subordinates have to say, indicating that she actually takes her job seriously.
* [[Cicadian Rhythm]]: Now weaponized by her.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini|Rika]]. Originally only in personality, but after she succumbed to her shadow once, she now matches her in physical appearance as well.
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Her [[Shrine Maiden|Shadow forme]] is this as well as [[Body Horror]].
* [[Fingore]]: Invoked when she scared the wits out of some delinquents. Has this done to her in a hallucination.
* [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon]]: Has [[Mad Bomber|explosives]], [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]] and [[Machete Mayhem|a mach]][[Knife Nut|ete]] in her repertoire of weapons of choice.
* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Have fun dealing with Yuzuki dropping her facade if you piss her off.
* [[Student Council President]]
 
=== '''Sotare Shalon''' ===
 
A wallflower by habit, Sotare is an intelligent, sarcastic student who would sooner have everyone run from him like the plague then carry an hour-long conversation.
 
Line 626 ⟶ 587:
* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: To the point that he doesn't even bother to remember other people's names unless he's aware that he'll have to use it later.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: When he first gained his powers, his new magical side conflicted so much with his scientific norms that his mind locked up for three days.
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]: At the moment, he firmly believes this. Some characters aren't making it any better. Subverted in him not being an antagonist.
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Yep, Sotare's persona is in fact, Death.
* [[The Quiet One]]
 
=== '''Kyousuke Fuben''' ===
{{quote|{{spoiler|"I... I don't want anyone else to die because of me. I killed mommy... And daddy... I don't want to kill you too, Kira. You're like my sister... I love you. So p-please... run..."}}}}
 
{{quote| {{spoiler|"I... I don't want anyone else to die because of me. I killed mommy... And daddy... I don't want to kill you too, Kira. You're like my sister... I love you. So p-please... run..."}}}}
 
Kyousuke is not exactly the sanest person in Nagashima. Spoiled from a young age by rich parents, they didn't notice that their child appeared to have some severe mental problems. Once they hit hard times, they began to notice, but have only been passing it off as a phase. Kyousuke does everything and anything he thinks is fun, and barely even achknowledges the fact that other things exist if something's grabbed his attention. He's almost childlike, and has been described as a hyperactive puppy. A hyperactive puppy that happens to be able to control monsters and has nuclear powers.
Line 646 ⟶ 606:
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[BFS]]
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}
* [[Big Eater]]: Not Kyousuke himself, but his persona is shown eating a ''whole pineapple.''
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Cool Bike]]: Its first appearance was Kyousuke crashing it through a window... and then falling off it.
* [[Duct Tape for Everything]]: He attempted to reattach his hand with the stuff. Also, he tried to tie up Kira with it.
* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Kyousuke's main weapon of choice, when he's not using his [[BFS]], are ''nuclear spells.''
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
Line 662 ⟶ 622:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Well he has white hair, but is he pretty? Uh....
 
=== '''Chouko Yaguruma''' ===
[[File:chouko_tropes_4285chouko tropes 4285.png|frame|Sora-kuuuuun~]]
 
Chouko is a third year student at Taiyoutono. Though she appears normal, she has experienced a fair amount of trauma over her life, culminating in a rather obsessive personality, in which she has a tendency to attach herself to others in order to [[Yandere|"protect" them.]] Her Persona is [[Greek Mythology|Arachne]] of the Devil Arcana.
Line 675 ⟶ 635:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Occurred in her backstory, turning her into the Chouko we know and love today.
* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]}}
* [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon]]: Uses one of the meat cleavers from Cooking Club as a weapon.
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Despite being in the Cooking Club, she's completely incapable of cooking ''anything'' edible.
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Speech Impediment]]: Chouko speaks with a rather noticeable (and grating) stutter. Sometimes it gets so bad she can't even finish her sentences. {{spoiler|It disappears when she goes into full-on Yandere mode.}}
Line 685 ⟶ 645:
* [[Yandere]]: Acts crazy-possessive towards Sora to the point of {{spoiler|dismembering a woman Sora had his eyes on.}}
 
=== '''Katsurou Yamato''' ===
 
Katsurou is the school's [[Mad Scientist]]. He may not act like a mad scientist, but he certainly has no problem blowing the crap out of the school's science lab...[[Education Through Pyrotechnics|repeatedly]]. As such with the intelligence that he carries in his brain, Katsurou finds everyone around him to be a band of idiots that are beneath him and are not worth his time. The arrogance that he graces with everyone he meets, stems from his 'I'm better than you' attitude that has gotten him into many situations that involved violence. That violence spurred him into learning martial arts, though only recently he's begun to use it against threats other than the monsters that tries to kill him underneath the city.
 
Line 697 ⟶ 656:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: After a heated argument with Tsukasa about his pacifistic approach to his bullying, Katsurou decided that indeed was a bunch of bull crap and proceed to beat the living hell out of his tormentors in a complete one-sided fight.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Katsurou has blown up the science lab on more than one occasion, almost getting sued one time, during experiments that no one even knows what they are about. He is also a little ''too'' interested in his Persona abilities and the mysteries that surrounds the [[Abandoned Laboratory|Mysterious Ruins]]
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]: Katsurou firmly believes that everyone around him is an idiot one way or another.
* [[Walking Wasteland]]: His Persona ability allows him to ''rot'' anything he touches with his black aura fists.
 
=== '''Kuzuki Harada''' ===
 
A young man who strives to be the best at whatever he sets his mind to, Kuzuki transferred to Taiyoutono a year after his father's death. Two years later, he's part of the kendo team and is vice-president of the Student Council. There's a reason why he's an overachiever: it's all a way of earning his father's love and approval by trying to live up to the expectations he thinks his father had for him. His Persona is Grani, of the Emperor Arcana.
 
Line 709 ⟶ 667:
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: He'll still try to be polite about telling you the awful truth though.
** Grani plays it straighter.
{{quote| '''Grani:''' ''"Listen to me. That thing out there is not your friend. It does not want to help you, it will not listen to you, and nobody is coming to save you. If you do not take action now, you will die."''}}
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: His father, a policeman, died while trying to arrest a [[Serial Killer]].
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Played as a destructive character trait, as Kuzuki's [[Pride]] drives him to refuse help even when he needs it the most. For example, against a powerful Shadow, he refuses to let the more durable members of his party take the hit, even though those party members completely nullify that Shadow's element. Maria calls him out on this [[Armor-Piercing Slap|physically]].
* [[Education Mama]]: Inverted-- KuzukiInverted—Kuzuki's mother is the one trying to persuade him to slow down and stop being such a workaholic. Kuzuki doesn't heed her advice.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Since he knows Kendo, it's justified.
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: To Yuzuki, although she isn't so much incompetent as really easy-going.
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Grani has physical attack skills, magic spells and buffs, allowing him to have a skill for any situation. He also has only two weaknesses, invulnerablity to [[Shock and Awe|Thunder]], and decent (but not [[Lightning Bruiser|good]]) stats in all categories.
* [[Knight Templar]]: He has started to show hints of this ever since becoming part of the war against Shadows and rogue Persona users.
{{quote| '''Kuzuki:''' Mercy is wasted on those who threaten people's lives.}}
* [[Light'Em Up]]: Grani's second elemental specialty.
* [[Norse Mythology]]: His Persona is Grani, scion of Odin's horse Sleipnir and steed of Siegfried the hero.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: The only one in Taiyoutono High-- andHigh—and that's saying something. He's becoming less of this after getting his Persona, as hes starting to get used to the weirdness of Nagashima.
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: One of the few in Taiyoutono before he, too, got sucked into the Ruins.
* [[Our Centaurs Are Different]]: Grani is a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|armored robotic centaur spirit]].
Line 726 ⟶ 684:
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Grani has all the spells in the Zio (electric) branch of magic, right up to Thunder Reign.
* [[Status Buff]]: Grani's specialty.
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]: Kuzuki feels this way about his position as Vice President of the Student Council because he feels he has to pick up after everyone else.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Deconstructed in that Kuzuki's relentless drive to please his father is his most obvious motivation for becoming [[The Ace]]: the only problem with this is that his father is dead.
 
=== '''Oliver [[Running Gag|(Olivia?)]] Garland''' ===
An extremely effeminate [[New Transfer Student]], Oliver is unique among "his" demographic in two ways. For one, "he" identifies as [[Transgender|a she]]. For two, her Japanese sucks. [[Intentional Engrish for Funny|Horribly.]] She used to live in an abusive household, but has seemingly become quite well adjusted in her uncle's family. [[Sibling Rivalry|Sort of.]] Her Persona is [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|Pang]] [[Dynasty Warriors|Tong]], the brilliant strategist who was shunned for his looks and attitude.

* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Dad]]: In her backstory, played straight at first only to get denied later on.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Awoke and proceeded to absolutely destroy an example of the resident [[Fantasy Axis of Evil|Savage]] variety of Shadow for the upper levels. In one blow. Which was simultaneously a [[Barrier -Busting Blow]]. This was all done while wearing silky pink girl pajamas.
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Sabotage her cooking at your own peril.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Her Persona appearantly learns every single offensive wind element spell. Including [[Last -Disc Magic|Panta Rhei]].
* [[Chef of Iron]]: Established as a black belt that managed to break the arm of a [[Abusive Parents|certain attacker]] that was undoubtedly much, much bigger than her. Her very first appearance, however, involved some excellent [[Food Porn]].
* [[Contractual Genre Blindness]]: See [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]] below.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Delibrately invoked in regards to her knowledge about the Japanese language and [[Japanese Honorifics]]. Even Japan in general stumps her. (She thinks Shibuya is a TV show, for crying out loud!) She generally just takes Maria's ([[Troll|delibrately wrong]]) explanations of them at face value.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Described by Charles as looking like "a little Shibuya idol" when in her (female) uniform.
* [[The Dandy]]
Line 747 ⟶ 704:
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]
* [[Engrish]]: Inverted. Oliver can speak English just fine. Her Japanese, on the other hand takes constant forays into [[Intentional Engrish for Funny]], [[Department of Redundancy Department]] and even [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels]] territory.
** Amusingly inverted '''again''' once where a case of [[Angrish]] causes Oliver to declare that she will "[[Final Fantasy|KNOCK]] [[Memetic Mutation|THEM]] [[Never Say "Die"|ALL]] [[Good Bad Translation|DOWN!]]" in English despite being eloquent in it.
* [[Hair Decorations|Every Male To Female TranssexualTransgender Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Seemingly favours barrettes.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Oliver started crushing on [[Not So Different|Yuuto]] almost immediately. Both other RPers and characters picked up on it just as quickly.
* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Her weapon of choice.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Described in her profile as being able to dart about in conversation and essentially trick people into not learning a single thing about her. However, in her second thread she wound up being rather panicky and unintentionally blurted out more about herself than she'd ever care to reveal. [[Distracted Byby the Sexy|In her defense...]]
* [[Nephewism]]/[[Self -Made Orphan]]: Considerably [[Lighter and Softer]] than most cases. Oliver just broke her father's arm. The end result, however, is largely the same.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Simultaneously parodied and deconstructed.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Oliver is capable of using fire magic, but not as extensively as wind magic.
* [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]: Her Persona is [[Insufferable Genius|Pang]] [[Gonk|Tong]], the [[Red Baron|Fledgeling Pheonix]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: Oliver's mask is a direct copy of Jagi's helmet from [[Fist of the North Star]]. (May even be a [[Mythology Gag]], as both Jagi and Pang Tong have been characters in Koei's various hack and slash game series. On a more subtle scale, Oliver's RPer named all of Oliver's attacks after songs on the [[Dynasty Warriors|Dynasty Warriors 7]] soundtrack when describing what she'd be like in a fighting game.)
* [[Stealth Pun]]: She's [[Cousin Oliver]]!
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Learns no attack skills whatsoever, clearly is focused on magic power, and [[Weaksauce Weakness|is weak against physical attacks]].
** [[Kung Fu Wizard]]: If fighting normal human beings rather than shadows or fellow persona users. It's entirely possible that this aspect will actually overtake the Squishy Wizard one with time.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Everything she's made ([[Laser-Guided Karma|and tried to keep wholly to herself]]) has been ''very'' promptly devoured. Ironically shares this title with fellow androgynite Yuuto Hayashi, [[Blatant Lies|who she totally doesn't have a crush on]].
* [[Throw It In]]: While trying to come up with a legitimate reason for why a girl would be named Oliver, one of her "speculated" answers was [[Retcon|"Did I say Oliver? I meant Olivia."]]. Despite the idea's dismissal (Oliver thought the concept of just trading out Oliver for its female equivalent was [[Genre Savvy|overdone and corny]]), the name has nonetheless been picked up to refer to her both in and out of character at times. This is partly because - as Oliver has [[Lampshade Hanging|pointed out herself]] - she really ought to have a female name by now, and also partly because the statement - as well as a confession to her crossdressing and transsexualityTransgenderism - [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?|weren't quite as "speculated" as she thought.]]
* [[TranssexualTransgender]]
* [[Underestimating Badassery]]: You're not really taken all that seriously when you're a teeny tiny girly-looking boy that can't even speak the language that you're using to make threats of violence.
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: Has had a different outfit on in every single thread she's appeared in. She's even been described in her profile as always changing her style and hair on a whim.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Doesn't actually realise that as a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]], she is one. They're fairly common at Taiyoutono. Really, Oliver could probably save herself a lot of trouble and stress if she just realised that, even if she fully embraced her Transsexualitytransgenderism AND''and'' ran around dressed like [[Lady Gaga]] while juggling chocolate bowling pins, she'd ''still'' be one.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Reacts to a souffle imploding as if somebody just ate her pet bunny alive in front of her and then [[There Will Be Brawl|ran around wearing its head like a hat]].
{{quote| "IT WAS YOU! [[Department of Redundancy Department|YOU MURDERED MY SOUFFLÉ WITH THAT BRASS INSTRUMENT OF SOUFFLÉ MURDERING!]]"}}
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Of course, it doesn't necessarily come with the transsexualtransgender territory... it just does this time.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Has purportedly dyed her hair many different colours on a whim. Thus far she's been seen with blue, green and blonde hair.
 
=== '''Maria Garland''' ===
 
Oliver's high class cousin. She had the misfortune of defending her father's less than savoury practices at an earlier age, with her final retort against a protestor reaching [[Memetic Mutation|a viral state]]. The whole affair eventually led to her [[Sugar and Ice Girl|closing herself off from the world]], reserving her [[Adorkable|true nature]] for close friends, family, and the ever wonderful Internet. Her persona is Spartacus.
 
* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: Much of her reputation and her world view comes from her family pissing off one (that appears to be an [[Expy]] of PETA, [[Scare'Em Straight|given their methods]]) off.
* [[Anything That Moves]]: A lot of the narration and inner monologues about Maria hint that she has some... [[Shotacon|interesting]] [[Sweet Onon Polly Oliver|tastes]].
* [[Bi the Way]]
{{quote| "[[Double Entendre|My rich girl senses are tingling]], and not like when I see [[Ojou|Lili]] [[Tekken|Rochefort]]."}}
* [[Closet Geek]]
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Tries to act like and think of herself as one to Oliver, which sort of makes her implied perverseness towards her even [[Squick|Squick-ier]].
Line 784 ⟶ 740:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: [[Badass in Distress|Nah.]] While her general appearance and mannerisms ought to give off this vibe, Maria actually puts effort into getting herself out of trouble when she finds herself in it. This is established in her awakening thread, where her immediate reaction to a perceived kidnapping attempt is to grab whatever closest resembles a weapon and start kicking down doors in search of an escape.
* [[Gamer Girl]]: Something that she's managed to apply to dungeon crawling, as shown in her use of the "always go left" philosophy of dungeon crawling and her immediate acceptance that while physical damage does nothing to her, elemental magic might. (Bear in mind she had no genuine proof that elemental magic even existed at this point.) It actually makes her something of an effective strategist when fighting Shadows with others.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: To an extent. She's familiar enough with RPG tropes that, when she's suddenly dumped into the ruins and awakens to her persona, she adapts rather quickly for a sheltered Ojou. Not to mention, she picks up on the possibility of having [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|elemental weaknesses]] immediately. Of course...
** [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: She runs the very real risk of delving into this instead.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Of a sort. She's actually completely immune to physical attacks, so her staying power ''is'' impressive in that respect. However, her persona currently only has [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|one skill]]: Kill Rush. It's a far greater power than most beginning techniques, but its cost is also higher as well. Being a physical technique, [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points|Casting From Hit Points]] is required. Big stamina cost + low threshhold due to inexperience = one short-lived [[Disc One Nuke]].
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: She has the habit of letting herself ramble at times, often changing subjects multiple times before letting anyone get a word in edgewise. Presumably only an aspect of her [[Sugar and Ice Girl|Sugar]] side.
Line 799 ⟶ 755:
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]
* [[Sugar and Ice Girl]]: Curiously, despite the Ice part being her everyday mask, many of the earlier threads she was in involed her Sugar side instead. However, this can be justified in the fact that she's only seen talking to Oliver (her cousin who is now technically her sibling) and Conan ([[Fire-Forged Friends|who she was stuck in the ruins with.]] As she points out to herself, this is not exactly a good time to act icy and bitchy.)
* [[Take That]]: She's not the least bit fond of the [[Resident Evil (Filmfilm)|Resident Evil movies]] or their [[God Mode Sue|protagonist]].
* [[Ultimate Gamer 386]]
 
=== '''Kaburagi "Joe" Jounichi''' ===
Kaburagi Jounichi lived as a quiet boy who sat in the back of class for the first couple years of his life. Then, he found the music of [[Ronnie James Dio|a certain rock legend]] and his personality completely changed. His full attention became devoted to [[Heavy Metal|The Metal]] that he loved so much and the attitude that went along with it. He is a raucous, headstrong, and determined individual. He will also do anything for someone he considers a friend. He'll also [[Thinking Out Loud|monologue a lot.]] He is Joe, the self-styled greatest rocker in the world.

He will also do anything for someone he considers a friend. He'll also [[Thinking Out Loud|monologue a lot.]] He is Joe, the self-styled greatest rocker in the world.
 
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Has allegedly professed his undying love to ''at least'' half of the Cooking Club.
Line 810 ⟶ 765:
* [[Fearless Fool]]: Almost to a "T." He doesn't seem to have many things that can really shake him except for his father for some indeterminable reason.
* [[First-Name Basis]]: Or so he thinks. Calls everyone by their given name, or by a nickname if he likes them.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Large Ham]]: The fact that he monologues (in public) on a day-to-day basis should be enough, but he also has a personal philosophy of heading into anything worth doing with all of your passion. This leads to a lot of shouting and inspiring speeches from him, regardless of whether or not they are wanted.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Naturally.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: The only person to call him "Jounichi" so far, both in and out of character, has been his father.
* [[The Power of Rock]]: Joe is the personification of this trope. He walks around with his guitar almost everywhere and will usually end his monologues with a solo. When fighting shadows, he uses his guitar as a weapon and will often cast his spells (all lightning-based, of course) via a quick riff. One could even make the argument that [[Ronnie James Dio|his persona might have something to do with rock.]]
* [[Shock and Awe]]: his main skills are all electricity (and [[The Power of Rock|sound]]) based.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Considers himself to be the absolute greatest guitar player in the world... [[Captain Obvious|He isn't]].
* [[Unconventional Formatting]]: His persona's name is kind of hard to pronounce. (Whenever he is mentioned in threads, his name is written [[Painting the Fourth Wall|in a different font and with a link to the song responsible for its creation.]])
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: Joe's monologues, and even his casual conversation frequently break out into song accompanied by guitar riffs.
** Most prevalent when he's speaking English, the language that most of the music he listens to is written in.
 
=== '''Kakeru Kagami''' ===
 
Calm, usually quiet and polite, Kakeru is quite a functional member of society. He will gladly help those who are in need and always keeps a nice front. In reality, Kakeru is a boy who believes that he can't feel anything like sadness and happiness. He doesn't feel joy while helping others, but he doesn't feel grief while doing something bad either. The only thing that keeps him from doing bad things is his conscience and his surrogate father's last words.
 
Line 834 ⟶ 788:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Despite his inability to feel emotions, he can be quite enthusiastic during a battle.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Knows that [[Shrinking Violet|Isoroku]] has a crush on him, but always thinks of himself unworthy to be loved due to his inability to feel and love.
* [[Cool Sword]]: Wields a nodachi, [[I Call HerIt "Vera"|Hanamatsuri.]] Also an [[Ancestral Weapon]].
** [[Dual-Wielding]]: Now wields a unique sword, [[Flaming Sword|Rekka]] as his second sword.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: At times.
Line 843 ⟶ 797:
* [[Guile Hero]]
* [[Happily Adopted]]
* [[Hero Withwith Bad Publicity]]: Others are quite wary towards him.
* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]
* [[Japanese Mythology]]: His Persona is Tsukuyomi, the Shinto God of the Moon. Wields a [[Dual-Wielding|pair of katanas]] which are made of ice and wears a samurai armor, also made of ice.
Line 850 ⟶ 804:
** [[The Paladin]]
* [[Mind Rape]]: His signature move.
** [[Evil Eye]]: Can [[Mind Rape|mind rape]] someone by looking into their eyes.
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Nerves of Steel]]
Line 867 ⟶ 821:
* [[Yin-Yang Bomb]]: Can use both [[Light'Em Up|Hama]] and [[Casting a Shadow|Mudo]] spells.
 
=== Shinta Watanabe ===
A delinquent who was [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid|once a polite and kind child]] until he got bullied in junior high to the point where he snapped and [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|beat the ever-lovin' crap out of three bullies at once.]] He now has a single goal in life: to be the ultimate banchou in Nagashima.
* [[Bully Hunter]]
* Delinquents
* [[Cool Shades]]: Not as [[Triangle Shades|cool as]] [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina's]], though.
* Expy: Originally intended to be one of [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kittan]] but comes across as an Expy of Kamina.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: YES.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Large Ham]]: In spades.
Line 879 ⟶ 833:
* [[Suplex Finisher]]: His favored method.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|Yup.]]
 
 
== Rokketto University Staff and Students ==
=== '''Natsuki Hayashi''' ===
The only college faculty member we've seen so far, Natsuki teaches History at Roketto University and is known for her ice-cold demeanor. She also happens to be Yuuto Hayashi's aunt—although she dislikes the young man's family because of an old grudge.
 
The only college faculty member we've seen so far, Natsuki teaches History at Roketto University and is known for her ice-cold demeanor. She also happens to be Yuuto Hayashi's aunt-- although she dislikes the young man's family because of an old grudge.
 
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]
* [[Christmas Cake]]: She's 27 and still a bachelorette.
* [[Closet Geek]]: Loves history, mythology, fantasy, drama, and [[Josei]] manga. Few people know this.
Line 900 ⟶ 852:
* [[The Resenter]]: See [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]] above.
* [[Stern Teacher]]
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Her [[Establishing Character Moment]] has her picking up a comic book that is a thinly-veiled [[Expy]] of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire (Literature)|A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' and noting that she reads it for the homosexual affair between a pretty-boy knight and his equally pretty liege lord. She accidentally ends up introducing Kinzaki to yaoi later on.
* [[Youkai]]: Her Persona is Hannya, a jealous woman turned demon.
 
=== '''Mai Inami''' ===
 
'''OBJECTION!'''
 
Sorry, thought we were [[Ace Attorney|in a different game]] for a moment there. Mai Inami's a student at Rokketto University, one of the first two to appear in the RP. A passionate law student seeking to make a difference in the world, she more often encounters the poverty that plagues single university students and assignment deadlines rather than [[Amoral Attorney|Amoral Attorneys]]s and criminals for now. She shares a powerful rapport with her [[Heterosexual Life Partners|dormmate]] Nezumi. Her persona is [[Classical Mythology|Athena]].
 
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
Line 913 ⟶ 864:
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Law Student]]
* [[Ethical Slut]]: See [[Good Bad Girl]] below.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]]. In fact, the character is practically one giant love letter to the series, with [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]] to several characters as well as the [[Phoenix Wright Musical Project]].
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: This was a given, of course.
* [[Good Bad Girl]]: Serveral mentions have been given to her promiscuity and party girl lifestyle. This doesn't change the fact that she's one of the most stable and morally grounded characters present.
* [[Large Ham]]: "A scene is nothing in the face of '''''JUSTICE!'''''"
Line 926 ⟶ 877:
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: Starts singing ''[[Phoenix Wright Musical Project|Reawakening]]'' during her [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]] [[Imagine Spot]]. Apparently this is [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|not uncommon]].
 
=== '''Nezumi Tachibana''' ===
The second of the first two Rokketto University students in the RP. A rather quiet, stubbornly optimistic girl that's seemingly searching for a purpose in life. Tries to support herself and [[Heterosexual Life Partners|her dormmate Mai]] using her experience as a health spa assistant. Unfortunately, most of her pay goes towards [[Big Eater|potato chips]]. Contrasting Mai's penchant for men's suits, Nezumi dolls herself up into a pretty little lolita with a [[Parasol of Prettiness|pretty parasol]]. [[Fridge Horror|For some reason this scares RPers.]] Her Persona is definitely an example of how a pretty face can hide some real darn scary thoughts, even though [[Nothing Is Scarier|we're not told what they are.]] Specifically, her persona is [[Dungeons & Dragons|Jubilex]], [[Eldritch Abomination|a bloated, slimy, many-eyed, many-tentacled]] [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|spider...]] [[Buffy-Speak|thing.]]

...Did we mention Nezumi's kinda scary?
 
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: Or, well, until he died.
* [[Big Creepy -Crawlies]]: Jubilex
* [[Big Eater]]
* {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel|Cain]]:}} If one is to take her [[Kamen Rider]] AU (which feels much much more like [[Silent Hill]] [[Recycled in Space|with sentai in it]] than anything else) into account... yes, it's quite likely.
Line 939 ⟶ 889:
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Arguably the most off-putting feature about Nezumi is her complete and utter relaxation in the face of whatever is thrown her way. The only time she's broken her demeanour is when she first saw [[Eldritch Abomination|Jubilex]].
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Jubilex is considered one of the most powerful demon lords in [[Dungeons and& Dragons]]. In it, it appears as a ginormous slime ridden with assorted body parts. [[Non -Standard Character Design|Here however,]] he looks like [[Squick|Cthulhu got a fifty foot spider pregnant]].
* [[Expy]]: At first, she doesn't readily appear to be one. But then upon closer inspection, [[Fridge Horror|you realise]] that, if Mai is Pheonix Wright, then Nezumi is {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Dahlia]] [[Complete Monster|Hawthorne]]}}.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: Her [[Expy]] status could count as this.
Line 950 ⟶ 900:
* [[Trademark Favourite Food]]: Fried octopus flavoured potato chips. However, it seems clear that she'll grab just about anything. Even if it doesn't belong to her.
 
=== '''Karin Suzaki''' ===
 
Karin is a student of science at Rokketto university. She is actually [[Teen Genius|a little younger]] than her classmates, owed in part to her brilliant mind and dogged determination to prove herself as better than everyone else. In fact, it's incredibly seldom that Karin ever ''stops'' telling people how much better she is than them. Her superiority complex and unhealthy obsession with proving herself is owed in no small part to the systematic neglect and abandonment of her [[Stage Mom|stage parents]], who constantly ignored her in favour of her twin sister because they figured they could make more money off of her charm than Karin's mind. Her persona is the [[Complete Monster|murderer and rapist Ixion]] of [[Classical Mythology]].
 
Line 957 ⟶ 906:
* [[Casting a Shadow]]: One of Ixion's elemental specialties.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
* [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]: Not necessarily a full transition from heel to face (as while she's certainly a [[Jerkass]], she's not really a villain yet), but when she tried to set her insufferable arrogance aside and contribute to the greater good by investigating the rumours of Persona User's being kidnapped, she wound up making herself a target for abduction herself.
* [[He Knows Too Much|She Knows Too Much]]: See [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]] above.
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[Improvised Weapon User]]/[[Improbable Weapon User]]/[[MacGyvering]]: Stated to be how she plans to survive in combat.
Line 971 ⟶ 920:
 
== Taiyoutono Teachers and Staff ==
=== '''Albert Raleigh''' ===
 
* [[Badass Teacher]]: Carries a concealed sword in his cane, and fights by mixing chemicals to create explosives and acids.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Though he'll object to the old, he spent a lot of his life traveling the world over and loves to share his findings.
* [[Cool Teacher]]: In contrast to many of the school's NPC staff, the Player Characters on the staff tend to fall under this. Albert is no exception, being one of the few that can hold the attention of his students.
* [[Karmic Trickster]]: One of his main inspirations, other than [[Doctor Who (TV)|the 7th Doctor]] (who he is an expy of in appearance only), is Bugs Bunny. It hasn't been shown yet, but pity the poor sod that first gets targeted by this side of him.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Try and attack one of his students. Watch how well that works out for you.
* [[Rambling Old Man Monologue]]: His major flaw as a speaker is his tendency to go overboard. He will often mix up his stories when trying to speak socially (I.E. not giving a lecture), which sometimes falls under this. He finds it rather embarrassing, since he's not TOO''too'' old.
 
=== '''Takayuki "Taka" Yasuri''' ===
 
=== '''Takashi Kouno''' ===
Takashi is a teacher at Taiyoutono High and one of the damn best teachers there are at the school. Which is not saying much since [[Adults Are Useless|all of them are asleep, stoned out of their brains on coffee or both.]] He is a reformed yakuza, so he tends to be grumpy and isn't necessarily the [[Sir Swearsalot|best role model out there.]] The teacher was pretty content with his life until [[Call to Adventure|shit happened.]] He gathered the adult persona users and is occasionally in correspondence with the [[Wild Mass Guessing|WMG]] [[Fan Community Nickname|squad]]. His persona is [[Classical Mythology|Hephaestus]] [[Non-Standard Character Design|the talking, flaming, seven-armed urn.]]

* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]
Line 1,005 ⟶ 952:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
 
=== '''Conan Wells''' ===
 
Conan's a [[Woobie|pitiable]] man. Nearly two metres tall and with a build to reflect that, he's quite used to being perceived as dumb muscle. His lethargy and clumsiness certainly doesn't help with that. However, he's actually very well read and nobody's fool. Conan has been drifting from job to job aimlessly for years after the death of his fiance, trying to put the pieces of his life back together. His Persona is Goliath of the Chariot arcana.
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Conan is immune to physical damage, but is afraid of cave-ins in the ruins. He figures that he would either suffocate or be stuck forever.
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Barrier -Busting Blow]]: Has been called upon to do this.
* [[The Berserker]]: By virtue of his brute strength, Conan doesn't NEED a weapon to fight. He also becomes rather violent when drunk, which isn't exactly a trait that one would like to see paired with someone of his size. Goliath also reeks of this trope.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Shows signs of developing into this.
Line 1,032 ⟶ 978:
* [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men]]: In his backstory, Conan was a sailor for a time.
 
=== '''Soichiro Sugawara (alias Masahiro Tatsumi)''' ===
Soichiro — or Masahiro as he calls himself — is the teacher of philosophy at Taiyoutono. Behind his genial attitude, however, hides a wanted criminal with a taste for illegal fighting and [[Social Darwinist]] ideals.
 
Soichiro-- or Masahiro as he calls himself-- is the teacher of philosophy at Taiyoutono. Behind his genial attitude, however, hides a wanted criminal with a taste for illegal fighting and [[Social Darwinist]] ideals.
 
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Soichiro's father frequently fought with his wife, with Soichiro often caught in the crossfire. Eventually, though, Soichiro snapped and beat his father to a pulp.
Line 1,041 ⟶ 986:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[The Social Darwinist]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: His backstory is basically him becoming a badass through force of will.
 
 
== Other Adults and Muggles ==
=== '''Shin Imoto''' ===
A detective that floats through various departments in the Nagashima Police Department, Shin had struck a fine balance in his life between his Burakumin heritage and his life as an officer of the law. Then he became a persona user, and now his life is composed of three half-lives—as a Burakumin subject to the system, as a police officer who is part of the system, and a persona user who is outside of society—and he is slowly succumbing to the stress. He dedicates much of his free time to taking care of his nephew and trying to ensure the ruins are safe, but there is a part of him that simply wants to run away, and this part has given rise to his persona, Orestes of the [[Take a Third Option|Temperance Arcanum.]]

* [[Agent Mulder]]: Evolving into this.
Line 1,058 ⟶ 1,001:
* [[Expy]]: of [[Fell|Richard Fell]].
* [[For Great Justice]]
* [[I'll Pretend I Didn't Hear That]]: His response to high school students possessing firearms -- butfirearms—but only as long as they're in the ruins.
* [[Internal Affairs]]: Implied to have had a few run-ins with them.
* [[Lawful Good]]: Tries to uphold the law and do the right thing. [[To Be Lawful or Good|This has only been a minor inconvenience, thus far.]]
* [[Long -Range Fighter]]: Knows hand-to-hand maneuvers to subdue someone, but obviously prefers to fight from a distance.
* [[No Punctuation Period]]: How Orestes, his persona usually speaks, with the exception of the occasional comma or question mark.
* [[Nuke'Em]]: His persona uses nuclear attacks.
* [[Officer and Aa Gentleman]]: Reading "Officer" as "police officer" instead of "military officer." Shin is usually very polite.
* [[The Oresteia (Theatre)|The Oresteia]]: His persona is Orestes.
* [[Prepare to Die]]: His (unheard) threat to Toru, after one of Toru's attempts to kill Naoya.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Will tolerate less-egregious breaches of the law.
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Justified, as he's a police officer, and revolvers are standard issue for Japanese police.
* [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: Has appeared in two threads in which he isn't wearing a suit.
* [[Sink -or -Swim Fatherhood]]: Takes care of his nephew, Naoya, who promptly dove into the ruins and became a persona user. Shin is not happy about this.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]
* [[The Summation]]: Loves to give dramatic speeches.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: His attempt to build the aforementioned [[Badass Crew]] consisted largely of this.
* [[Unknown Rival]]: To the Wandering Gunman, {{spoiler|a former police officer.}}
* [[Wanton Cruelty to Thethe Common Comma]]: When intoxicated, he does not capitalize (despite Japanese not having capitalization to begin with.)
 
== '''Kyoko Harada''' ==
 
=== Kyoko Harada ===
Younger sister of Kuzuki Harada, and one of the few completely normal characters in the RP.
 
Line 1,085 ⟶ 1,027:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Where Kuzuki is serious and formal, Kyoko is flighty and highly social.
 
=== '''Midori Kitaki''' ===
 
* [[Cold Sniper]]: Not really, but aside from Michi everyone else thinks that she is.
 
=== '''Zenshiro Murakami''' ===
 
Zenshiro Murakami is one of the local Yakuza leaders that are trying to take over Nagashima's underworld. One problem though. Zenshiro has no interest in the goal and much rather surf rather than extended his clan's territory of influence. Despite being a Yakuza leader, Zenshiro has a laid back personality that really just wants to live a normal life, however it is an impossible wish as his father was assassinated, leaving Zenshiro to take control of the clan despite his disdain of the title. This usually prevents him from surfing on the beach. However that does not mean he is a push over, Zenshiro wields a [[Improbable Weapon User|gargantuan anchor spear]] that is not easy to wield with one arm. [[One-Handed Zweihander|He does though]].
