open/close all folders
Tenshihishou Students
Shinichi Kawazoe
Arcana: MagicianPersona: Jack Frost
- An Ice Person: His Persona's Jack Frost. What did you expect?!
- Expy: Nerdy? Chews Kana out about responsibility? Sounds a lot like Peter Parker.
Kousuke Nakamura
Arcana: JusticePersona: Angel
- Guardian Angel: Both his Persona and a prominent pre-Awakening character trait.
Amane Kuzuryu
Arcana: Hanged ManPersona: Adonis
- Crossdresser: He wears women's clothing as a hobby.
- Expy: In name and appearance, he resembles Amane Nishiki from BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. His personality, however, is somewhat different.
- Hidden Depths: While he seems to be shallow, narcissistic and appearance-obsessed, in reality he is very personable.
- My Sibling Will Live Through Me: The motive for his crossdressing: he does it so he feels closer to his dead sister Akane and to serve as a living memorial.
- Nice Guy: In his introduction thread, he promises Akane that if someone from his fanclub bullies her, he won't stand for it.
- Pretty Boy: Explicitly described as being very pretty and lean. He even has his own club of fangirls.
Rei Takeda
Arcana: MoonPersona: Tsukiyomi No Mikoto
- Bookworm: Explicitly stated to have a "thing" for books. Despite this, he's only been seen reading in two of his threads.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Rei clearly does not understand the concepts of schoolwork or menial labor. However, he's still extremely intelligent.
- Cheshire Cat Grin: When he's not holding a neutral expression, of course.
- It Amused Me: One of his Chan-Chan posts (where he shows his less than favorable side on a guest account) is written giving a single clue to his identity. He does it for this reason, as it "keeps the game interesting."
- Odd Friendship: His friends are a gamer girl, a former cultist, and someone that he shares mutual distrust with.
- Pretty Boy: Despite his appearance making him sound kind of unpleasant, he's actually pretty good looking, and even has NPC fangirls. (No, seriously.)
- The Sociopath: It runs in the family. Apparently he's capable of cognitive empathy, but not actual empathy.
- The Stoic: Is rarely fazed by things, and even when he is, he rarely shows it outwardly. This is evident in the thread "A Psycho and a Sociopath..." in which he thinks he's about to be beaten physically, but plays it off as nothing.
Maria Garland
Arcana: DeathPersona: Spartacus
- A Darker Me: It's somewhat telling that her ChanChan account is kept entirely seperate from her respected QueenBlades persona. Subverted somewhat when she starts petting the dog on ChanChan.
- Even Evil Has Standards: And then she promptly backed away from her trolling, stating that it was Nothing Personal and that she doesn't kick people while they're down. She even proceeds to try her best to give genuine, heartfelt advice when her former victim is in a really bad place, and the picture and link she offers that time are genuine Relax-o-Vision material.
- Hikikomori: A minor example, so far this Maria has only been a truly noticable presence (relatively speaking) on the internet, and even there she's somewhat unsociable.
- Reused Character Design: Essentially the same character as she was in Persona Rebirth.
- Troll: As made astonishingly clear in her very first post.
- UltimateGamer386: Possibly will be more of a vocal point in Mindscapes, where there is an entire forum dedicated to the characters' internet activity and the fact that Maria has two other Gamer Chicks to interact with.
Oliver Garland
Arcana: EmperorPersona: Pang Tong
- Food Porn: Pretty much the entirety of her Beep! feed is this.
- Intentional Engrish for Funny: Inverted, her English is just fine. Her Japanese on the other hand, needs work.

- But Not Too Foreign: Yuuki is actually half Irish, due to her mother.
- The Cynic: Tends to believe the worst in people.

Natsumi Aizawa
Arcana: The PriestessPersona: Asclepius
- The Ace: Slightly. She's attractive, a good student, a talented artist, and comes from a fairly well-to-do family. She isn't all that popular, however, owing to her general behavior.
- Dr. Jerk: Her status as The Medic and her cold behavior make her this, in a way.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Natsumi is abrasive, snarky, aloof, and more than a bit cold towards most strangers. She also genuinely cares about the well-being of those she loves, and doesn't talk down to people unless she thinks it might help them understand their fuckups.
- The Medic: Her Persona, Asclepius, is the god of medicine in Greek mythology, and has access to healing and status-boosting spells.
Momiji Matsumoto
Arcana: StrengthPersona: Uesugi Kenshin
- Book Dumb: Quite good in sports, but not too good in academics.
- Nice Girl: Despite her recklessness and unimpressive achievement in academics, she's friendly and sociable. She honestly believes that all people are inherently good and will gladly befriend anyone.
- Passionate Sports Girl: Very passionate. Due to her poor achievement at school, she decides to be active in sports instead.

Ranmaru Wada
Arcana: EmpressPersona: Fool Of Owari
- Ambiguously Brown: Outright stated in his profile that he has very mixed ancestry.
- Barbaric Bully: Definitely looks the part, and apparently there are several who think he is one. The truth is rather different.
- Casting a Shadow: The first of a whopping three elemental specialties. Ranmaru has no darkness spells (yet), but carries a resistance to them.

- The Big Guy: 6'6'' and 250 pounds of muscle. Yes, he definitely qualifies.
- Boisterous Bruiser: A more sports-oriented version than most, but he's very much this.
- Born in the Wrong Century: Might have been more at home in a warrior culture, a few centuries ago.
- Dumb Muscle: Subverted. He's not book smart at all, but he can be quite clever in battle and on a football field - his intelligence is otherwise rather average.
- Jerk Jock: A very downplayed version of this trope, but his tendency to tease "nerds" about their "nerdyness" can make him come across as that. Otherwise, he's very the polar opposite of this trope.
- Large Ham: Oh yes. His personality is about about as large as he is.
- Lightning Bruiser: Ridiculously strong, and quite fast, too.
- Lovable Jock: Very much so.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Despite being a normal human, he can give off the aura of one - and oooh boy, he has pride by the boatloads. His Persona also symbolizes that, being one of the main gods of an entire religion of those.

- Steampunk: She's a big enthusiast, to the point that she wears aviator goggles and leather gloves almost all the time.
Miyamoto Hibiki
A second year student and self-proclaimed "Wild Type." Despite his rough style, he seems to out of his way to avoid conflict. His initial persona is Werewolf of the Chariot arcana.- Gravity Master: One the main differences between this incarnation of him and the other

- Sixth Ranger: Acts as a sort of Guest-Star Party Member for anyone he meets in Mindscapes.
Satoko Yoshida
Arcana: TowerPersona: Kelemvor
- Action Survivor: Satoko has no combat training, no magical knowledge, and not a single clue about the eldritch goings-on around her. What she does have is experience in not dying horribly.

University Students
Hayate Kuroda
Arcana: FoolPersona: Varies
A bartender at a tavern called The Moon Rabbit, Hayate is a young man with no idea what he wants to do in life. He uses his job to dispense advice to the bar's patrons, who he believes are in need of advice when they're down on their luck. He's one of the forum's Wild Cards, which allows him to use multiple Personas. He currently has Slender Man and Tlazolteotl in his repertoire.
- Fiery Redhead: Subverted. Hayate's hair is bright orange, but his demeanor is very calm.
Tadashi Hoshikage
Arcana: The ChariotPersona: Tarrasque

Pellafina Chauveau
Arcana: JusticePersona: Emer
- Abusive Parents: Glanced over by Pella, but any mentions that are made of her parents are not flattering ones.
- Disabled Snarker: Pella's legs are almost useless. Her wit, on the other hand, is not.
- Enemy Scan: Emer serves as an analysis and support type-persona. Given Pella's physical frailty and physical handicap, this makes sense.
- The Food Poisoning Incident: One of her more common pranks is to invoke this on somebody. She's recounted a story on ChanChan where she allegedly invoked this upon her entire school.
- Light 'em Up: When she's not scanning, Emer can use Hama spells
- The Prankster: Nobody is safe around Pella and her penchant for making you eat crappy jelly beans.
- Trademark Favourite Food: Perhaps not her absolute favourite thing to eat, but a great deal of Pella's threads will at some point involve Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.
Andrea Juan-Ramirez
Arcana: TemperancePersona: Pele
- Casting a Shadow: Pele's secondary element, although it plays a definite lesser role in its design.
- I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Andre's absolute biggest fear in the world is that she'll confess her feelings to Pella only to hear this. Thus leading to...
- Magma Man: Pele is shown to be made out of molten lava, so presumably her fire spells will take on this quality.
- Playing with Fire: Her primary element, courtesy of Pele. Also bears elements of...
- Red Right Hand: Subverted. Andre's scarring on her arm and the side of her face are jarring and attention grabbing, but in no way indicative of her nature.
Adults
Megumi Ashimura
Arcana: EmpressPersona: Hestia
- The Alcoholic: Drinking herself to sleep is what she does every other night of the week.
- Death Seeker: Has slight shades of this.
- Expy: Appearance-wise, of Aya Brea. She also has some similarities to the character demeanor-wise.

Arcana: HermitPersona: Death
