History Characters / CrimsonAU

* TheHeart: In Crimson he's played up as being this role in the Phantom Thieves, being the most [[EasilyForgiven forgiving]] of them as well. Ann even tells him in one chapter that his positive energy is what has kept the group together.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed, but also downplayed the NiceGirl trait unlike in canon. She has prominent conflicts with Akira and Makoto, especially [[spoiler: after the fiasco with Makoto triggering Shiho's trauma. She dresses down Akira for not breaking ties with Makoto earlier and forces a FriendVersusLover situation. Ann then confronts Makoto about Shiho where she slaps her and lies about being in a relationship with Akira. She fully admits that the latter portion was done intentionally to hurt Makoto]].
** The rewrite gives this first impression when both her and Akira first meet, that unlike in canon when she smiled at the protagonist (alongside being curious in the anime while removing out a flower pedal from Ren's hair), Ann (Crimson) is outright hostile when Akira stares at her.

-->'''Iwai''': ''Missy, I add sweet girls like you to my coffee in the morning when I'm getting ready for a night with the real women. You can't handle me and I ain't got the patience to acquaint you''.

* DelicateAndSickly: When the Phantom Thieves confront him over Madamare, he suddenly passes out and they take him to Takemi, who discovers he's malnourished and not being fed properly by Madamare. Several chapters later he has another check up with Takemi, who says he has low triglycerides and some vitamin deficiencies, but is doing much better,

* AloofAlly: Downplayed. As Ali Baba she contact the phantom thieves and tells them that she'll help them with getting information to take down Kaneshiro, providing they change her heart.
* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: When she introduced to the story, when she is having a conversation with the members of Tatterdemalion over the phone as Alibaba, the first thing they hear is her snacking.

* AdaptationalBadass: Is way more than badass she was in canon. Here she a lot sneakier, scanning phones for information when she's researching a story (which is very useful in gaining information on Madarame's criminal activates), and in one chapter, while drunk, she successfully knocks out Iwai with a jar of coffee beans. In the latter example she was actually mistaken in thinking he was attacking Akira, Iwai was actually only holding onto him because Akira was having a panic attack, but still, it's pretty gutsy of Ohya to attack someone she knows is a former Yakuza.

* TheAlcoholic: Unlike in the canon where she was a HardDrinkingPartyGirl, here it becomes very apparent to people such as Akira, Lala and Takemi that she has a drinking problem, the latter outright giving her a card for an substance abuse centre. As time goes on her drinking seems to get worse and eventually she has a heart to heart with Lala about it.

* Foil: To Akira. Both are leaders of a group of thieves who seek to expose the truth, but unlike Akira, Juni has more experience being a leader, starting Tatterdemalion after graduating college, and way more level headed.

* GeniusBruiser.

* OriginalCharacter:

[[folder:Fumihiro]],

* TheGhost: Is never seen outside of a few nightmares that Akira has, and only mentioned by Akira to not have been part of his life before his false conviction and move to Tokyo, apart from a few visits every few years to try and connect.
* [[spoiler: ConMan: Akira eventually revels to Ryuji and Ann that his father is a con artist who got his mum pregnant and then on the day he was born abandoned her, only leaving a note saying he couldn't deal with becoming a father.]]

* NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:After his change of heart, he admits to a lot of crooked stuff, but he's never heard of Yukio Kan.]]

* DamselOutOfDistress: When kidnapped by her fiancée Sugimura and locked in his car, she uses the metaverse app to escape (knowing already that Sugimura has a palace and that palace is his car), and after several attempts to find the right keyword, she finally succeeds and escapes to the metaverse.

* GroinAttack: [[As his palace is mobile in nature, Yusuke and Makoto are forced to keep him distracted to give Haru and the others time to escape to the real world. Yusuke's attempt only bewilders and angers him, so he improvises...by kicking him in the balls and running away.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: In pretty much every aspect.

* WideEyedIdealist: Makoto tends to have this attitude with authority and law enforcement, in part because her dad was a good cop. This

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Ann's relationship with Akira is...rocky, to say the least.

* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation]]: [[spoiler:After the Phantom Thieves steal his treasure, he's killed shortly after when his driver suffers a mental shutdown and drives them both into the Tokyo Bay.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:He kidnaps Haru and brings her to Kaneshiro so he can have her personality changed. This proves to be a fatal mistake, as Kaneshiro has Sugimura killed to protect himself.]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Compared to his video game, manga, and anime counterparts; this version of the main protagonist is written to be more angered in letting out his frustrations.

* TraumaCongaLine: After canon events (getting found falsely guilty of assault, put on probation and then his criminal record leaked at Shujin) he ends up witnessing a subway crash that a mental shutdown caused, gets beaten up by Kamoshida, then after celebrating Kamoshida's arrest with Ryuji, Ann and Morgana, he witnesses someone die from a mental shutdown in the hotel bathroom. All of which happens within a month of each other. It doesn't stop there of course, several chapters later [[spoiler: when Iwai gives him to Kaneshiro in exchange for Kaoru, he ends up witnessing Kaneshiro smoother someone (non fatally) with a plastic bag and '''KILL A GUY WITH A DRILL TO THE HEAD'''.]]

* CommanderContrarian: This version of her is more prone to having conflicts of the team and relating to Akira's secrets.

* DelicateAndSickly: When the Phantom Thieves confront him over Madamare, he suddenly passes out and they take him to Takemi who discovers he's malnourished due be not eating or being fed by Madamare. Severally chapters later he has another check up with Takemi who says he has low triglycerides and some vitamin deficiencies, but is doing much better than he was under Madamare's care

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Unlike in canon, he is given the First Name Rin, to distinguish him from his father.

* OriginalCharacter

* AmbiguousDisorder: As stated above, compared to the game and anime, Akira here suffers from more paranoia and anxiety, and is prone to suffering panic attacks when he feels overwhelmed.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed and justified, Akira is the only one of the Phantom Thieves who doesn't really like Mishima since he was the one who leaked his criminal record to everyone in the school, even if he was ordered to by Kamoshida. Over time he still doesn't endear himself to Akira, due being overly devoted to helping the Phantom Thieves, which causes Akira to see Mishima as just a fanboy attaching himself to a trend, and unbeknownst to Mishima, he plans to eventually take control of the phansite and lock Mishima out of it. Notably, the original version of the story stopped just before Akira got to that point, while the ongoing rewrite seems to be treating Mishima more charitably, removing the first scene where Akira mentions his plan to Morgana, and adding a scene where Akira starts to empathise more with him as one of Kamoshida's victims.

Notably, the original version of the story stopped before Akira got to that point, while the ongoing rewrite removes the first scene where Akira mentions this plan to Morgana, making it ambiguous whether he will go that far.

* ShesGotLegs: Same as in canon, and the likes of Akira, Kaoru and Iwai [[DistractedByTheSexy all take notice]].

* KnifeNut: Carries a knife.

* IllGirl: A Gender flipped version. When the Phantom Thieves confront him over Madamare, he suddenly passes out and they take him to Takemi who discovers he's malnourished due be not eating or being fed by Madamare. Severally chapters later he has another check up with Takemi who says he has low triglycerides and some vitamin deficiencies, but is doing much better than he was under Madamare's care

* TraumaCongaLine: Oh Boy, if it wasn't bad enough for Akira in canon it's really UpToEleven here. After canon events (getting found falsely guilty of assault, put on probation and then his criminal record leaked at Shujin) he ends up witnessing a subway crash that a mental shutdown caused, gets beaten up by Kamoshida, then after celebrating Kamoshida's arrest with Ryuji, Ann and Morgana, he witnesses someone die from a mental shutdown in the hotel bathroom. All of which happens within a month of each other. It doesn't stop there of course, several chapters later [[spoiler: when Iwai gives him to Kaneshiro in exchange for Kaoru, he ends up witnessing Kaneshiro smoother someone (non fatally) with a plastic bag and '''KILL A GUY WITH A DRILL TO THE HEAD'''.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: [[UpToEleven Even worse than canon.]]

This is a list of characters that appeared in the VideoGame/Persona5 AU fic, Crimson. In-development.

* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting: When she introduced to the story, [[spoiler: when she is having a conversation with the members of Tatterdemalion over the phone as Alibaba, the first thing they hear is her snacking.]]

* TheCasanova: Averted. However, it's enforced during his first clinical trail for Takemi, when he starts flirty and singing to her due to the effects of the drugs she has him on, much to her amusement. Then in a later chapter while he's babysitting Kaoru, they meet up with Takemi who jokes that Akira has a experienced love life, much to Akira's annoyance, which makes Kaoru believe Akira is very much this trope, prompting Kaoru to take notes.

* GoodIsNotNice: Is way more confrontational than she ever was in canon, especially when she catches on to what Akira really needs her medicine for. She even tries to call the police and report Kamoshida after he beats up Akira (though he manages to stop her since the police won't do anything because Kamoshida has way more leverage), and then later Madarame when she discovers he's been depriving Yusuke of food (in that case she actually does call the police but because of the same reasons the police don't do anything). She even confronts Iwai when he leaves Akira to babysit Kaoru. Despite her attitude to the PT situation, she generally worries about Akira and who becomes acquainted with (such as Iwai and Ohya), and like in canon she cares a lot about her patients and their well being, and still goes along with helping the Phantom Thieves despite her disapproval.
