☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: here! ♚ FASHION: You can see his variety of outfits here (though beware of spoilers in the images above and below); in games that aren't Kaisou or The World, he'll be wearing his school uniform, but for memes/psls feel free to envision whatever you like if I don't specify one of these! ♚ DEMEANOUR: While Akira is a boy capable of wearing masks to suit the situation, for the most part he is quiet and unassuming. Even though it uses his other canon name, I lean into the characterization displayed in the Mementos Mission manga; kind to the point of his heart perhaps being too big, observant enough that he can perceive past what people do and say to cover things up, silly enough to make puns and get people laughing when the moment is right (and sometimes when it's not), and with that core sense of justice that's carried by every iteration of Joker there is. ♚ SOUND: He's voiced by Jun Fukuyama, whose notable for many roles, but if you'd like to hear him as specifically Akira then you can listen here and (if you'd rather have him talking and not just shouting battle lines/Persona names) his Persona 5 Dancing trailer here (also briefly featuring Ryuji/Mamoru Miyano) ♚ SCENT: according to Yusuke he smells like coffee... the things you learn while traversing Mementos ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: He is extremely perceptive; he can still be fooled, of course, but he's just very good at reading people and understanding their habits. For those that are also perceptive or have mind reading powers, they'll notice he's hard to get a read on, but they can eventually pick up he has some physical tells (pulling the hair in front of his eyes when he's nervous or uncomfortable, gesturing more broadly with his hand when he feels confident). For those with mind reading prowess, they'll find that Akira is a man of many masks on the surface; the quiet and unassuming self is genuine, but it's also another layer that covers the rebellious heart. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: crying because I lifted this almost word for word from my app but Throughout the Persona series (that for the most part isn't connected outside of being years apart in mostly the same universe), Personas themselves are generally beings that are a person's personality and feelings given form, but each one manifests a little bit differently throughout the games. In Persona 5/Royal, Personas users harness the painful feelings of being taken advantage of, or of others or themselves being wronged, and rebel against it - that form is their "rebellious heart", so to speak. Akira is a unique Persona user because he's a "Wild Card", capable of using multiple Personas (unlike most, who are only capable of using one). However this ability is only capable of being used in the Metaverse, the cognitive world that is projected onto the real world and can be visited through the use of a special app that Akira and the rest of his group have on their cell phones. In games and in memes/psls wherever it's applicable, I'll primarily only be having him use Arsène, whose page I've linked and whose skills I'll briefly list below: Eiha: Light curse damage to one target. Cleave: Light Physical damage to one target (but injures himself slightly to use). Sukunda: Decrease Agility of to one target for a short time. Dream Needle: Light Gun damage and a medium chance to inflict Sleep on one target (but injures himself slight to use; more damaging than Cleave). Adverse Resolve: Increases Critical rate when surrounded. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: always! I'm slow myself so I need to do it pretty often too, but you can tag me back on something from months ago and I'll still be happy and excited, I don't care how long it's been ♚ FOURTHWALLING: for both Akira's sake and my own, I'd prefer to keep this extremely limited! Possibly okay under certain circumstances (e.g. Homestuck or canons where that's a natural thing), but either way talk it out with me beforehand. ♚ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: none! warnings before any heavier content, such as suicide or rape, would be highly preferred, but I'm able to handle the topics on an OOC level. ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: absolutely okay! he can be a little reticent or awkward with it when first meeting people, but he becomes a lot more open with backpats and hugs when needed as he warms up to friends. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: let me know first if it might lead to death so we can plot it out, but generally always okay! he's got that part of him that loves danger and a challenge, so he'll enjoy it ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: I love doing shippy stuff so yes! I do enjoy buildup, especially in games, but for the sake of memes and psls I'm happy to jump into stuff a little faster! cross-canon is always loved, and as for canon ships you can find my shipping prefs here (though the order may shift around a little bit depending on my mood); if you don't see your character on there, that means I'm either neutral about it or haven't considered it, and most likely I'll be down to try it if you ask. also in general for Akira, please talk it out with me first if your character is an adult before shipping, canon or crosscanon; while I'm okay with age gaps on an ooc level/with other characters, I have some issues with how the age gaps were written within Persona 5 itself ♚ WARNINGS: it's not something he would bring up on his own readily and would try to skim over if it did come up, but when played from an Interrogation Room canon point or later, he's experienced severe physical assault by police and had drugs forced into him.
