Fanfic / Soul Survivor

Go To

Hamuko likes Bad Apple, she's the sister of the world's first murderer, and her COMP summons Personas. Tartarus and the Dark Hour won't know what hit them.

Soul Survivor is a Persona 3 fan fic written by Lady Starwing from the point of view of Hamuko Tsukio, her rendition of the Female Protagonist.


This fan fic provides examples of:

  • The Cameo: Cameos from several characters from Devil Survivor appear throughout. Characters suggested to be from Touhou also make sporadic appearances.
  • Cold Open: The story starts with a brief vignette of Hamuko and her family right before the incident at the Moonlight Bridge.
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The magic that everyone uses seems to take on a different color for the users personality.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • Hamuko and Naoya's last name, Tsukiko, is spelled with the character for 'Moon'
    • Their cousin Hiro's full name is Hiro Hijiri, which is spelled with the characters for Generous Saint
    • Junpei's nickname for Hamuko is "Luna-tan".
  • Parasol of Pain: When not wielding her naginata or a similar weapon, she's using her trademark parasol that conceals blades within them.
  • Sequence Breaking:
    • At least in comparison to the original game; not only is Hamuko's first Social Link outside of Fool Mitsuru, but Mitsuru actually approached her first instead of the other way around.
    • There is also a full party of four from the word 'go' due to Shinjiro's presence.
  • Shoe Slap:
    • At one point, Hamuko throws a boot at Yukari.
    • She later does the same to Naoya.
    • Loki gets the book bag instead.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The chapter names are Touhou Project songs.
    • Sailor Moon is discussed by Junpei on the first trip to Tartarus
      Junpei: But think about it, Luna-tan, you're a natural fit! We're fighting evil by moonlight, you're "Tsukio", and you've even got the pink hair! If we're not blasting our way through the dungeon in no time with the power of love, I'll be very shocked.
    • Akihiko's first meeting with Hamuko compares her singing voice to Risette.
    • Hamuko and Junpei first meet through playing Pokemon.
  • Swiss-Army Weapon: Hamuko's COMP. In addition to being the equivalent of an iPad, it also plays DS games and functions as her Evoker.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Akihiko, why would you bring an overpowered Shadow back to the dorm?!
