sooo i started work on my p4 sidestory to bitbo, more of a summary inspired by @symphonic-scream's amazing au posts so, here it is, below the cut!

So Ai moves to Inaba from Tokyo after her parents go away on a ‘business trip’ and she moves in with her aunt Eri and cousin Yuuta. She’s a bit rude, short tempered and somewhat of a brat, and really doesn’t want to be in some ‘boring small town’ and just wants to go back to the hustle and bustle of her ordinary life.

But Eri accepts her, having been forcibly moved from the big city herself and she apologises for working late and not being around that much. Ai doesn’t really care, just wanting to wait for the year to be out and go back home.

She ends up accidentally running into a girl in pigtails on the way up to class - the girl introduces herself as Rise Kujikawa and she loves how ‘cool’ and ‘spicy’ Ai is and wants to be like her senpai. Ai - deciding to be kind for once - offers to walk home with her, though Ai is surprised when she sees police tape.

They pass by Junes and meet the Hanamura brothers - Yosuke and Teddie. Yosuke is basically the location’s ‘manager’ and is trying his best to hold everything together, while Teddie is quite clearly adopted by the Hanamura’s and is very kind - if a bit overly flirtatious towards Rise.

Everything is fine for a bit, but after a few days go by, a third year dies suddenly. People believe its by suicide. She worked with Yosuke. Teddie is worried about his brother. Ai’s hand gets swallowed by a TV, and she shows Rise and Teddie the next day in Junes.

They all fall into the Midnight Channel.

They wander around, find a haunting room with a noose in it, and end up back at the entrance. They meet a strange rabbit named Marie who tries to shoo them out of the area, and after failing to get any information about the place from her, they leave without a plan to go back.

But Rise wants to go back to find out why Saki killed herself. When they end up in there, there’s a version of Rise with sunken yellow eyes and a far too wide grin, talking about how great her attempts to save her Senpai will make her future idol story.

Rise refuses to accept her copy, which results in it becoming a monster and Ai having to confront her own worries. Namely that she knows her parents dropped her off in Inaba because they know how annoying and rude and ‘unseemly’ she is, how she’s never made any real friends and has been so obsessed with looking cool that she scares others away.

Out of desperation, Ai accepts that inner voice and summons her Persona. She defeats the monster Rise became and Rise accepts her copy, making it her Persona.

Then Yosuke goes missing. Ai sees him on TV the night before he vanishes, dressed as a pirate, talking about how he’s going to escape this town and go on adventures on the high seas.

They go back to the TV - this time with Teddie in tow - but Teddie runs ahead. When Ai and Rise catch up to him, his Shadow has beaten them to the punch, talking about how deep down, Teddie knows that the Hanamuras have never accepted him as their son, and that he’ll never live up to perfect Yosuke. The envy eats him up to the point he can’t sleep at night without wondering if maybe it would’ve been better if he never was adopted by them.

After, Teddie admits its partially true, but he more hates himself for not living up to his parents expectations. Ai - having been hit with her parental issues - gives him a hug.

They do save Yosuke, who accepts his Shadow before the ship goes underwater. Teddie helps him back on his feet and they return home together. They talk about their panic and fear for the future and the pressure they both were put under, and how they both share the same anxiety over that. But now they have something much bigger than that.

so everyone knows my ASAU of Persona 5 Royal, A Righteous Rebellion. right? And we're all also aware of @scruffyturtles' Adult Confidant AU?

well I sorta fused them? tldr: i made a (mostly) Adult Confidant AU for ARR! Details below, if you're interested - and if you have any questions about it, please ask @rollthedice-playthecards or this blog here!

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ARR! CANON-STANDARD TRIGGER WARNINGS!

The Fool and Strength (i.e. Igor & Caroline/Justine/Lavenza) are the same. Otherwise, everyone's changed.

The World (i.e. Protagonist) is Tae Takemi!

Her parents were abusive shitheads to her, and she got into a program that helped her escape for Tokyo.

Her first Persona is Merit-Ptah, a fictitious woman purported to be a chief physician of an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh and thus one of the oldest known women in medicine and science.

The Magician is Sadamu Niijima (transmasc!Sae)!

The home invasion that killed Mr. Niijima also led to his death, but Igor came upon his soul and reincarnated him into a hound (because of Shadow Sae's tattoos) for The Yaldabaoth Game™.

His first Persona is Turiddu, a Sicilian bandit whose gang was "legally held responsible" for a massacre, although the entirely of their role in it is disputed.

The Priestess is Sadayo Kawakami!

She was a member of Student Council, but when she brought up Kamoshida's abuse to Principal Omon "Bael" Kobayakawa, she lost her seat. Kobayakawa actually replaces Kaneshiro as the third major target.

Her first Persona is Elissa, legendary founder and queen of Carthage... oh, and I will be shipping her with Tae for my Kawakemi agenda. :)

The Empress is Chihaya Fukurai (Mifune)!

Yuichi "Mammon" Fukurai, her adoptive father, runs Fukurai Foods (Big Bang Burger's owner and more). Chihaya was setting up to inherit the business when Yuichi "changed his mind" and prepared to sell her off in an arranged marriage to Rikio Sugimura.

Her first Persona is Lakshmibai, an Indian rani who rebelled against the Bri'ish.

The Emperor is Sojiro Sakura!

He's a culinary prodigy studying under his adoptive parent (I haven't decided who yet, but they're Azazel) - a TV chef who runs a kids' competition a la Chopped Junior. They definitely abuse some of those kids.

His Initial Persona is Hamlet, the famous Shakespearean Prince of Denmark.

The Hierophant is Makoto Niijima, owner of Cafe Bianca.

She's been looking for her estranged younger "sister" for years now.

The Lovers is Munehisa Iwai!

Munehisa is Shujin’s star athlete. Excels in every sport in Shujin except volleyball, from which he was banned after standing up to Suguru "Asmodeus" Kamoshida.

Kaoru, his younger brother here, takes the role of Shiho, and Akimitsu Tsuda and Masa replace Nakaoka and Takeishi.

His Initial Persona is Barrow, a Great Depression-era criminal who robbed small stores, funeral homes and banks with his partner Ms. Parker.

The Chariot is Ichiko Ohya!

Leader of the photography club. She caught photos of Kamoshida’s dirty deeds in the past and is trying to find a way to expose them anonymously. Oh, and she has a long-distance girlfriend named Kayo.

Her Initial Persona is O'Malley, an Irish pirate queen so violent Elizabeth I considered sending the Royal Fleet after.

Justice is Toranosuke Yoshida!

I sort of split Goro's two roles in this AU. Toranosuke plays the Detective Prince trying to solve the case of mental shutdowns (+ the Phantom Thief case), but his brother-by-choice Benzo Kuramoto plays assassin and mental-shutdown-inducer for Masao Kuramoto, his grandfather. Tora joins the team in Oda's Palace, and they fight Benzo in Kuramoto's Palace - that's where Toranosuke achieves his Second Persona.

Speaking of Personas, his Initial one is Greenlefe, Robin Hood's second-in-command and the only one present at his death.

The Hermit is Takuto Niijima (Maruki)!

Makoto had a brief stint as a police officer, but after a influential asshole (Kuramoto) drove drunk and killed one Tomoyo Rumi, she attempted to dig into the situation and was dishonorably discharged. Soon after, she met Rumi's boyfriend, Takuto (an orphan with one shitty relative), and took him in.

He would be a third-year if he was still in school. He’s wasting away as he grieves Rumi's death. He can’t bring himself to kill himself, but he also doesn't want to be alive anymore.

His Initial Persona is Popol Vuh, a religious text of the mythology and history of the Kʼicheʼ Guatemalans.

The Fortune is Hifumi Hibino (Togo)!

After Mitsuyo disowned Hifumi for coming out as lesbian, Hifumi moved in with her wife Haru (they both end up with Makoto later). Hifumi took up busking/street shogi, not wanting to be reliant on Haru.

The Hanged Man is Akira Kurusu!

Not much for this guy right now - like Canon!Munehisa, he's an ex-yakuza who runs Indomptable, an airsoft store. Ren is his adoptive son.

Death is Sumire Yoshizawa!

A medical misdiagnosis (by her biological mother Yui, not that she knows it) left Sumire's sister in a coma. Ever since, Sumire can't see anyone unconscious without thinking of Kasumi.

Temperance is Ryuji Sakamoto!

An orphaned man who teaches PE at Shujin and moonlights in an escort service to take care of himself and his son Morgana.

Just after his college years, his mom's ex-husband killed her and then killed himself to escape the police, so he has no support system. Thus, he got himself into trouble with a duo of loan sharks so he could look presentable enough to replace Kamoshida.

He, Ann and Shiho were friends in high-school, but he never saw them again after graduating.

The Devil is Ann Takamaki!

An up-and-coming actress working hard to make it big. She's keeping her sexuality (and her girlfriends Shiho Suzui and Mika Abe) under wraps from everyone, including her manager.

At the end of the Confidant, she moves in with her old friend (and future boyfriend) Ryuji after Tae mentions him.

The Tower is Goro Shido (Akechi)!

Goro is a very temperamental young man with no methods of healthily and safely letting out his anger at the world and his shitty, abusive father.

After Shido's heart is changed, Ryuji (and Ann and Shiho) take Goro in.

The Star is Zenkichi Hasegawa!

Even if Zen doesn't know it, he's the best player in the shogi club at Kosei. It's discovered their "team" has been fixing matches, and Zenkichi is determined to find out who's cheating.

Jyun Owada, his senpai and club president, is jealous, and is trying to cause strife between him and his girlfriend Aoi to weaken him.

The Moon is Sophia Ichinose!

Sophia is a Greek immigrant who moved to Japan for work opportunities. She's Tae's science teacher, so Tae really likes her. Her daughter Kuon, however, has fallen in with a HORRIBLY nasty crowd - a bigoted group who hates (among other groups of people) Kuon's adoptive mother. Kuon, naturally, is conflicted, and this leads to conflict between her and Sophia.

The Sun is Haru Hibino!

A young politician whose bold eat-the-wealthy mentality does not sit well with older generations - for example, her father Kunikazu, who disowned her and silently smeared her campaigns so she'd waste her inheritance and never expose his criminality.

In the end of the whole story, Haru legalizes polyamorous marriage!

Judgement is Shinya Oda!

Uses they/them pronouns here.

After Shinya's mother Hanae was killed in cold blood, they joined the SIU to find the killer. She did something to piss off Kuramoto, though, so he and the director do everything they can to keep Shinya away from that.

The Faith is Wakaba Isshiki!

Daughter of Shujin's new counselor. A science prodigy.

I don't have much ideas for her yet, never mind her Personas.

The Councillor is Futaba Isshiki!

Shujin's aforementioned new counselor in the wake of Kamoshida's arrest. Believing the world to be "without life" without her deceased fiancee Kana, her Palace becomes a Graveyard, where she "raises the dead" by fixing their problems.

She only has one Persona - Chac Chel, an important Maya goddess of many things, most prominently both creation and destruction.

The Hope is Yuuki (Mishima)!

His ranged weapon is eye lasers. They use both he/him and they/them.

An A.I. made by Katsuo Akiyama, a regretful high-school bully who caused one of his victims to commit suicide.

Their first Persona is Thyrsus - a giant fennel staff that Yuuki uses like a weapon alongside the Persona aspect of it.

The Apostle is Yusuke Kitagawa!

The only original Phantom Thief to keep the power of Persona.

Ordered by Madarame Ichitaro (the killer of his mother and Police Commissioner) to investigate the Phantom Thieves after a series of mass heart-changings occur again.

Akane has a brother, Natsuhiko, and they share the Jail. Their mother, Takayo (Yusuke's beard) is still dead.

His Persona is Enjolras, and he later gets with Akira.

Lastly, a unique Arcana - The Actor, Morgana Sakamoto!

A theater prodigy at his school (not Shujin or Kosei) and Ryuji's son. He has no clues to his past before Ryuji, and he wants to know, but he also wants his dad to be happy. At the end of the Strikers arc, Lavenza becomes human, and he and Goro get the Sakamotos to adopt her as well.

Reminder once again to post any questions about this AU to @rollthedice-playthecards!

Phenomenal news about the asau!

Mama Akechi lives!!!

Since Kamoshida is the main antagonist instead of Shido, Shido is slightly less of a piece of shit!!! He’s still abusive but at least he pays child support?

He goes to prison following his change of heart which allows Goro and his mom to actually be a happy family

New issue. I have to name her.

Will now be taking requests for names for her and Akiras dead parents (please I have no ideas.)

if you recognise my art, I am kyl3gutz on main, this is my side blog ! Just for something that is off topic from my main posts

so I'm going to spin a wheel to swap and then draw their swap design then post! so yipee I guess

but I will try to fidget things around to work if the swap is a bit out of left field (like Ann and Iwai, as an example. watch as I say that and then it happens.)

otherwise yeah this is a Persona 5 Arcana Swap Au!! :D

Note

for the founding members of the phantom thieves (ann, futaba, morgana and akira), how did you create the team and why? was there any specific reason? and who are your specific personas?

Ann: Me and Kiki got caught wandering into Kamoshida's Palace on my first day in Tokyo. Thank god for Adler... you saved my life, you know.

Adler, from within Ann's heart: I was simply standing up for myself, milé dítě.

Akira: After we got out of our hole, we found Gerbil Girl in one of that scumbag's jailcells.

Futaba: Would you stop calling me that? I'm not a gerbil!

Akira: Sorry, sorry... we do owe you for guiding us through the Metaverse and how it works and all.

Futaba: And don't you forget it!

Futaba, puffing her chest out proudly: Anyways, me and Upland helped them get out. The day after, of course, these two dumbasses came back...

Morgana: At least Kiki awakened to Antiochus!

Ann, giggling: You were pretty badass, Kiki.

Ann's smile falls.

Ann: Then, Kamoshida raped Scimia Lavenza, Morgana's older sister-by-choice. He didn't like how Morgana wasn't doing as he told him to...

Akira, scowling: Or that Morgana wouldn't let him do the same to him. Bastard had her attempting suicide.

Morgana, slightly teary-eyed: She and I are orphans, so we have no legal protections. Wasn't that enough trouble?

Morgana: In any case, when I heard that Big Bro, Ann and even Oda-senpai stood up to Kamoshida, I demanded they let me help avenge Lavenza. One thing led to another, and me and El Çid filled out the founding Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Ann: And now we're always looking for people in need of help, so we can give them hope.

She pulls her friends into a group hug.

Ann: Hehe... moving to Tokyo is one of the best things that ever happened to me!

Even if it was only because of the worst thing to ever happen to me...

So I've been slowly planning out my own P5/P5R/P5S Arcana Swap AU

And here's what I got thanks to inputs from @creepymarsh and my husband: -Makoto: Fool (her idealism vs Zenkichi's cynicism)

-Sumi: Lovers (gymnastics star and model along with her twin with Kamoshida using Kasumi as leverage against her).

-Zenkichi: Justice

-Maruki: Hermit

-AkiRen: Faith (Based on a VERY OLD Twins AU I had a while back but slightly modified)

-Akane would be a bonus "Charity" Arcana!

-Sophia: Magician

-Either Morgana (hubby) or Ichinose would work as the Councilor Arcana but not sure yet.

Hubby's suggestions:

-Futaba: Chariot

-Sojiro: Hanged Man (Taba works with him)

-Ryuji: Emperor

-Haru: High Priestess

-Akechi: Devil

-Ann: Empress

-Yusuke: Moon

Further notes for Maruki and Zenkichi in particular:

Zenkichi:

-False Persona: Valjean

-True Persona: Fenrir

-(Proposed by Creepy) Fake outfit would be a stylized detective/steampunk outfit while his true outfit is his canon one but torn up and with holes along with chains that he can manipulate.

-He keeps his hair up in the ponytail for his celebrity persona but lets his hair down in 3rd semester.

Maruki:

-A shut-in researcher since a traumatic incident in college with Shibusawa occasionally stopping by to help him stay fed.

-Since there was a theory that the Conspiracy killed Rumi's parents during the break in as a fear tactic towards Maruki, why not utilize it but with Rumi herself added to the casualties? This led to his status as a shut-in.

-Also goes by (Also from Creepy) 13ARU3 (ICARUS) as an online persona.

-In a twist of irony, his previous online persona was Azathoth before copycats took over.

-Had a drinking habit.

-He would have longer hair tied in a ponytail with more pronounced dark circles under his eyes along with more loose/baggy clothing (primarily due to weight loss).

-His Persona is based on the founder of the Illuminati as well (called, "Weishaupt" to avoid confusion with Johanna and Adam in the Garden of Eden story).

-If I go with that then it would be a pyramid surrounded by rings like Ophanim angels and of course with eyes to help with analysis.

-Maruki's outfit is a tough one since I was thinking of using elements of his godhood outfit but his mask is blank with an eye surrounded by circuitry patterns at the center that glows when in use. And shorter too. Maybe. I'm still thinking.

That's about all I have so far! Need to figure out the others!

#starchild rambles #au idea #arcana swap au #persona 5 #p5 #persona 5 strikers #p5s #persona 5 royal #p5r #what do you all think?#HUGE THANKS to my husband and Creepy for their inputs!
