ODMR 2022
If there is one ride I try to make every year its the ODMR. What is ODMR?  Officer Down Memorial Ride.  This ride raises funds to help the families of law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty - Line of duty - Sounds so official, but what does that mean?  It means they gave their lives while serving their communities.  They answered the call, be it responding to an accident, an active shooter, a domestic disturbance, whatever the call - Someone was in need and they responded.  They didn’t care, and often didn’t know who they were responding to help. They may not have known their gender, race, religion, nationality - The call came in and they answered it.  And in doing so they gave their lives and left their families behind wondering - Was it worth it?  Was it worth it?  A question the officers themselves never ask - They answer the call.  This ride is a way to show our appreciation of their dedication and service; to let them know that their families they left behind will be taken care of. 
As always i the ride went through some of Northern Virginia’s nicest roads.  We had a good group, and great weather as we paid tribute to all Law Enforcement officers who lost their lives in 2021 - America’s deadliest year in law enforcement history.  We need to make sure it stays that way and ensure we never have another year as deadly.

REVIEW
His Wicked Ways by Melissa Foster
The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #5
Hot, heartwarming, wonderful book ~ Could not put it down and went to bed with a smile on my face!
What I liked:
* Reese Wilder: forensic scientist, big sister, caretaker for her younger sister, addicted mother, from dysfunction family, trying to pay off mother’s debt, independent, survivor, strong, resilient, has trust issues, rather taken with Blaine
* Blaine Wicked: member of Dark Knights MC, oldest brother of five siblings, alpha, protective, a bit closed off, has communication issues, a bit of a bulldozer, reliable, caring, creative, knows what he wants in and out of the bedroom
* Colette “Lettie” Wilder: fifteen, Reese’s sister, snarky, acting out, comes out of her shell and grow in positive ways as the story progresses
* The meet-cute – oh my
* The progress of the romance between Blaine and Reese – hot, wonderful, and loving
* Watching the Wickeds interact and seeing their love and family vibe when together
* The way the problems Reese was facing were eventually taken care of and how Blaine and his friends and family were there for her and Colette
* The plot, pacing, writing, characters, and conclusion
* That I was drawn in, cared about the characters, and was invested in the story
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the impact addiction, rape, and predators have on individuals and the ripple effect one individual can have on those around them
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series/by this author? Definitely
NOTE: You don’t have to read these books in the series first as each can be read as a standalone story. That said, you might end up wanting TO read the others as I now do!
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
5 Stars
BLURB
Blaine Wicked is used to women doing as he says in and out of the bedroom. Find out happens when he falls for the one woman who won't submit to his wicked ways in the newest insanely sexy, deeply emotional, and laugh-out-loud funny standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Blaine Wicked can spot trouble a mile away. As the eldest of five and raised in a Dark Knights biker family, he has always been a protector. Rescuing a stripper from a bad situation comes with the territory, regardless of the hell the mouthy, slightly awkward, and seriously hot leggy blonde gives him for it. She’s far too innocent to bend to his wicked ways, but the more he learns about her, the harder it is for him to walk away. Forensic scientist Reese Wilder never imagined herself as the entertainment at a bachelor party, but she’d do anything to keep food on the table for her teenage sister. With their mess of a mother in rehab—Third time’s a charm, right?—Reese is stuck paying off their mother’s debt to a dealer and trying to make ends meet. Reese has had it rough, and she knows better than to rely on anyone for help, much less a pushy biker with piercing blue eyes who probably has dozens of women at his beck and call. The more flames Reese throws, the more determined Blaine is to walk through them. The closer he gets, the hotter they burn—and the more curious she becomes. But Blaine Wicked has the power to torch Reese’s walls to embers, and with her sister’s well-being at stake, that’s a risk she can’t afford to take. About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes. *** Want more WICKED sexy love stories?

46th Annual Blue Ridge Rally 
Labor Day weekend was upon us once again, while to most this signals the end of summer, to us it means its time for the Blue Ridge Rally.  My Blue Knights Chapter is the host of this event.  We have been the host for quite some time; so much time that it is the longest running event in the Blue Knights Organization.  I am pretty proud of that.  What I am most proud of however is that, after 45 years, it continues to be the Gold Standard for Rallys in the Blue Knights.  OK, so I am a bit biased, but, ask those from outside of our conference who continue to travel to Culpeper, Virginia each year to attend; ask the wonderful staff at the Best Western in Culpeper, where we generally sell the place out, ask the children of our fellow Blue Knights (some of whom were likely conceived at a Rally) what labor day weekend means to them and they will tell you - THe Blue Knights Rally in Culpeper . . .  It is just a great family event - for all Knights and their families.
This year was no exception.  Still coming out of Covid, we had a great turnout, if not for a couple of last minute cancellations due to family emergencies, we would have been at capacity once again.  Seeing the familiar faces from far away, making new friends, and renewing old ones is what these rallies are all about.  And of course we ride.  We offered 3 rides this year.  The restaurant we invaded last year was given advance notice and they were prepared for our invasion this year, and they gave us the front room to ourselves.  The ride was great, the food was good, the camaraderie was fantastic. 
This was my first Rally on Jipci because the SAC Cycle was in the shop getting some much needed love.  After 11 years and 108,000 miles she needed a few things replaced.  So aside from my fly and ride purchase of her, this was my first overnight with her.  She packed up well and made the run easily.  On the group ride, she held her own and had no issues keeping up with the pace, especially once the roads got twisty.  She definitely attracted a lot of attention and I answered a lot of questions about her from curious Knights.  I am really looking forward to the upcoming camping trip with her to the Overland Expo in October. . .
We had a Blues theme this year, so my outfit for the Banquet was easy - Just needed a fedora and some glasses to transform into a Blue Brother . . . All too soon the weekend came to an end putting another Rally in the books - But the planning for next year’s has already begun . . .
RIDE ON!

REVIEW
The Wicked Truth by Melissa Foster
The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside #4
  Another great story from a fabulous author – loved Madigan and Tobias and was rooting for them from beginning to end!
 What I liked:
* Madigan “Mads” Wicked: musical storyteller, greeting card line businesswoman, puppeteer, MC Princess, has four protective brothers, guarded in some ways but so open in others, really liked her
* Tobias Riggs: ex-con, mechanic, ex-MMA fighter, broody, quiet, introspective, has lost much, loves his grandfather, alpha with a heart of gold
* That neither main character said they were in the market for a relationship…then watching the romance unfold
* The slow unveiling of the past events that have created the more guarded personalities of Tobias and Madigan
* The love of family that is so predominant throughout the story – even when family sometimes hurts
* The steamy bits – fanning myself a bit
* That I could see the main characters together and hoped everything would work out for them
* That it is standalone readable though there are a lot of characters from previous books that I have not read
* The HEA ending and wondering who will find their HEA next
 What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about how devastating some events can be even when the cause was unintentional
 Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitely
 Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
 5 Stars
       BLURB
 Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster. What happens when you’re not looking for love, but it walks in the door? Madigan Wicked’s heart is not up for grabs. She’s been there, done that, and she’s not going back for seconds. She pours her heart and soul into her family, her greeting card line, puppetry, and storytelling performances. But she’s not opposed to having a night of fun, and the gruff, sinfully hot, definitely-not-looking-for-love mysterious stranger she runs into at a bar might be just the right man to enjoy it with. Ex-con Tobias Riggs has lost enough for one lifetime. The only family member in his corner doesn't remember him, and the people who he thought would always be in his life, walked away. He’s just trying to make it through each day, and the last thing he’s looking for is any sort of connection. When chemistry ignites with the snarky, sexy storyteller, with lips he can't stop thinking about, he gives in to a night of passion. Though neither is open to love, it’s been known to bully its way into even the most resisting hearts. But can it survive the wicked truth of Tobias’s dark past? About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes. *** Want more WICKED sexy love stories?

RYAN STAFFORD - 24 - AUSTIN, TX - WAITRESS / COLLEGE STUDENT
tw: mention of parental death, violent behaviors, alcohol use
ryan was born in savanah, georgia but moved to austin to live with her uncle after her parents died when she was eleven years old. she used to be a very bright, bubbly, and happy go lucky kind of kid. its kind of how she met her dungeons and dragons group, she heard them talking about it and asked and got sucked in. over the years, she developed a tough outer shell to help her deal with the grief she never got to process as a child. is very prone to violent outbursts and behaviors. came out as bisexual after high school and really went balls to the wall with being a whore after her twenty first birthday. was raised around the black knights motorcycle club thanks to her uncle’s affiliation with them.
ryan needs: her dungeons and dragons friends group, any past lovers / flings / fwb (can be very recent!), drinking buddies, college kids she parties with, mechanic buddies, i’d love her to have a really close friend in the motorcycle club around her age that kinda knows all the shit she’s been through that she doesn’t have to hide anything around, people who don’t like her + anything else! i have a lot of feelings for this girl so give me everything
some fun headcanons:
+ still very much has a thick georgian drawl
+ her daily style is very tomboy with some feminine touches - mostly covered in grease from working on cars -  but she does have a whole section of her wardrobe that is pretty colors, dresses, rompers and florals, it’s just that she rarely wears them
+ she can easily be bribed with sex or food, just don’t expect her to actually cook, no one ever taught her and she has no sense for it
+ goes driving to help her think and clear her mind, it started as something she did with her uncle to have long talks but she developed doing it on her own when she needed to clear her head
+ she often says she has the same dream car as her dad, a chevelle ss, when in reality she would love to have a vw superbug convertible in navy blue with the cream ragtop 
+ never really talks about her parents or georgia, and has never been back since she moved to texas
+ doesn’t process emotions well and drinks to compensate, though when she is drunk she either gets really horny or really violent
+ was sent to sleep away camp once when she was fourteen - she was sent home early for getting into a fight with another camper
+ secretly cosplays as harley quinn and has gone to more than a few comic book conventions
+ despite her uncle being part of a motorcycle club, there was a house rule that she was never allowed to touch a bike and subsequently never has - she might have broken a lot of rules in her life but that’s one she never has
+ once used a kid’s skateboard to bash him in the head for sexually harassing a friend of hers in high school, she had a suspension and was threatened with expulsion 
+ owns a dachshund named toblerone, that she usually calls toby, toby is her child and she would fight a bear for him
+ has a wide range of music tastes but has a weak spot for country music after it became a treat that her and her uncle would go to the local honkeytonk bars when her aunt wasn’t around

Skeletons in the Closet-Three
Biker!Neighbor!Steve Rogers x Wealthy!Good Girl!Reader High School Au
Warnings-Swearing, scandals, attempted kidnapping, kidnapping, cheating, smoking, drinking, alcoholics, drug addicts, bullying, illegitimate children, abuse, and violence
With all the money the Mitchel’s have, many assume their lives are as picture perfect as they seem. Behind the glamorous vacations, luxurious mansion, and success that everyone sees, their lives are far from it. The only heir to the fortune, their perfect daughter Y/N, faces the worst of it. Beneath her perfectly curled hair and her flawless grades, is a closet full of skeletons just waiting to get out.  
Their next door neighbor, Steven Grant Rogers, is far from your typical boy next door. He wore a leather jacket rather than button ups, sweat shirts, and tees like the boys in the movies. He opted for a smirk rather than a sweet smile. And to top it all off he chose a motorcycle over whatever you’d picture a cute boy in. But then again, Steve Rogers wasn’t cute, he was irresistible. 
Atleast to most girls. Y/N refuses to give into the boy that likes to cloud her thoughts. The last thing she needs is a biker added to the list of things to keep from the media. A lot is expected from the heiress, and at the top of the list, right under taking over the empire, is having the perfect image. A hot, dirty biker is the last thing her image needs. However, her needs differ greatly from those of her image. And compared to everything else she keeps hidden, the media wouldn’t give Steve a second thought. 
Tumblr media
You try to even your breathing so the intruder still thinks you’re asleep, but that proves to  be rather difficult with the level of anxiety rising in your chest. You take one last breath and clutch the book of your chest. Your eyes snap open and you chuck the book as you climb to your feet. The book hits the man square in the head, but doesn’t do anything other than distract him for a moment. You grab the small side table next to you and smack it into the large man. 
“Help!” You yell, continuing to hit the man with the table until he catches it and yanks it from your hand, setting it down quietly, allowing you to see the man. He wore all black, a mask covering his face. Fear is pulsing through your veins as he steps closer. You bring your leg up, kicking his groin twice, making him come even closer. Your palm shoots out, a cracking noise following the contact with his nose but it doesn’t stop him. You took a couple self defense courses a year or so back but it all went out the window when this stranger joined you on your balcony. Now you knew your life was on the line and you were trying to do anything you could to keep him from taking you anywhere before one of your parents hears you and can alert security. 
He shoves his body against yours, the metal railing pressing harshly into your back. You bring your elbow up, smacking him in the face. His head jerks with the movement but he’s soon facing you again and takes both your hands in one of his. You don’t have time to be proud of the swelling on the side of his head. You try to bring your knee up but he’s so tight against you that there isn’t any room to. At this point, screaming for your life is your only resort. You get a good three seconds of yelling in before he brings his remaining hand over your mouth.
The roar of a motorcycle coming around the corner and you physically relax. Someone might see you. And if it’s Steve like you assume it is, you know he’ll notice. You’re usually out here late at night when he gets home and he always greets you with a smirk and nod of the head. If the stars are in your favor, he’ll at the very least glance up at the balcony when he hops off his bike. You begin thrashing your body as much as possible and screaming despite the hand over your mouth. You bite the before mentioned hand and let out a cry for help when it pulls back. He shoves the hand back but it was too late.
Steve hears and looks up to the balcony, seeing you thrashing against a mans hold, pushed against the railing. He darts across your yard and scales the side of your house. It takes time but it happens, Steve using open windows and ornate decor to pull himself up. He definitely doesn’t lack the muscle to do so. He throws himself over the railing and shoves the man off of you.
He meets your eyes, but they’re different than usual. Rather than his normal crystal blue eyes, they’re dark and clouded as he gets into a fighting stance. “Call security,” He says before throwing a cross at the intruder. You stumble back but then run into the room, pressing the red button in the drawer of your bedside table.
Outside, a full out brawl is happening between Steve and the stranger. Regardless of being a high schooler, Steve held his own, his years of boxing helping in every way they could.
You pull down one of your curtain rods, taking the long metal pole in your hand and running back out. You swung it like a baseball bat to the base of the intruder’s skull and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. Steve glances up, seeing you pant harshly, the pole still in your hands. Your make up was long gone and your typical curls are pulled up in a messy bun that now hangs at the side of your head. Your silky robe was ripped, leaving a lot of skin exposed but what he saw most prominent was the fear in your eyes. The pole clanged to the ground next to you, your body not far behind it. He stoops down and takes you in his big arms.
“It’s okay,” He whispers in your ear, a large hand rubbing up and down your back. His ragged breath was reassuring but also goes to show that really happened. 
Your bedroom door burst open, the security team filling the room in an instant. Ten guns are aimed at Steve before you realize what was happening. You jump to your feet, shielding his body with your much smaller one, “Put them down! You’re here to detain an intruder not shoot my neighbor!” You lightly kick the unconscious form at your feet for good measure. 
Your head of security holsters his gun and steps forward, taking the man’s mask off, “Our apologies miss.” 
The cops show up next. Your mother insists you straighten your appearance before giving a statement so Steve goes first. 
It was all a blur, you only remember flashing blue lights, your father yelling, and guards being posted at every entrance point to your bedroom.
Your phone lights up across the room and you get up to check.
“You okay?”
It was an unknown number so you shoot a text back, “Who is this?’
“Your knight in shining armor” The reply is almost instant. You create a contact for Steve but only respond with an emoji rolling its eyes. Another text came, “Really though, are you okay?”
“Thanks to you,” Quickly typing out another message, “Are you?”
“I’ve had worse,” For some reason you hadn’t pegged him as the type to text back immediately.
You debate with yourself for a moment before typing out another message and returning to your bed, “Thank you.” 
The next morning at school your father insists you bring along your own body guard and no matter how much you fight it, your father refuses to give.
Dean did end up coming in handy when half the student body decides they want all the juicy details. He settles them with a glare and suddenly there are things more interesting than your attempted kidnapping.  
Your family was allowing a reporter in the house to cover the events, but you want to stay as far out of it as possible. In all honesty, you just want a drink. 
“Wanda, you feel like going up to New Jersey tonight?” You ask quietly, not wanting Dean to overhear. 
She shot you a grin, “Always.” With all the publicity everywhere, anytime you want to do something, you need to go out of town. 
When seven o’clock hit, you and Wanda were still “studying” in your bedroom, in reality you’d both gotten ready and thrown clothes over your new outfits. You had a stash of clothes your mother would never approve of in the bottom of your dresser that you kept for clubbing or hitting a bar. Your fake ID was stored there, too.
The two of you had to sneak out the back way, climb a fence, and call a cab before you were on your way. Stripping your outer layer in the backseat proves more difficult than you remember but not impossible. 
The two of you show the bouncer your IDs and make your way to the bar as soon as you’re in. Tonight you need to get lost, to forget the grey cloud looming in the distance and the target that’s apparently on your head.

the reason for  each phantom thiefs metaverse outift, weapons ,names of their personas  ( including the evolved personas
The appearance of each character's Phantom Thief costume is supposed to reflect their idea of a rebel. The truth of that really hits home when you take a close look at the party members and their costume:
Joker starts the show with his black coat and outfit. A bit non-specific, but perfect for blending in with the shadows in order to get away with whatever you want. Take a closer look and you'll see his outfit even has a bit of a tuxedo feel with the undershirt, coattails, and shoes. Now who was wearing a fancy suit when they falsely accused Joker and started this whole mess?
Ryuji is a former track star who's been branded as a punk by society. His outfit certainly reflects that with the metal plates, leather jacket, and club-like weapons like a back-alley street thug.
Ann grew up admiring a cartoon super villainess for her free spirit. Little wonder her costume basically looks like an Expy for Catwoman's.
Morgana's outfit looks like it might not fit, given he appears like a mascot character. It fits in with his thoughts that he is a human, and thus is "rebelling" against the idea that he is truly a cat.
Yusuke is an artist and (partially due to his poverty) takes a rather old-fashioned view of things. His rebel persona therefore has the tight jumpsuit and flashy mask of a romanticized period-drama ninja thief.
Makoto is the prim-and-proper, reason-over-emotion head of the student council. What else would reflect a rebel to her but a hot-blooded biker chick?
Tech-savvy Futaba is almost deceptively easy to place as a black hat hacker, but take a closer look. With all the high-tech gizmos and powers her persona grants and the fact that she's always riding inside of it instead of being on the battlefield with the others she's like the final boss from a video game!
Haru's own persona calls her a "princess", and she's desperate to break that role. Hence her outfit reflects nobility, but looks more like it's meant for a gentleman burglar than a female courtier like Milady's dress.
Akechi follows a similar theme to Haru. A white outfit that just screams disgraced/exiled noble (which he sort of is being Shido's bastard son). His true costume reveals another side to the rebel, though: The stripes on his outfit look like a prison uniform, like the countless people he's helped lock up. It also serves as a hint that he, like Joker, is a prisoner of the Demiurge.
   .  (mystech-master . tumblr . com/post/183038928970/cincosechzehn-everyones-outfits-in-the#notes  
 everyone’s outfits in the metaverse are supposed to represent what rebellion from “fate” is supposed to look like and all i can think of is how goro’s outfit is a princely regal look with a light saber and a raygun    rebellion for him was being acknowledged as a legitimate heir and being allowed to be a child )
The thief outfits and weapons also represent how others perceive them.
Ren is thought of as shifty criminal and some of the rumors you see in the hallway even imply the students think he is carrying a knife on him, just by reputation, his awakening manifests a knife as well for him to fight with.
Ryuji is perceived by others at school as a violent no-good thug after his altercation with Kamoshida, the outfit and lead pipe make him look the part, he even mentions after his awakening "Kamoshida's cognition ain't changing, so I'll act like the troublemaker I am!"
For Ann, around school people see her as a shameless flirt who uses men, like she's a femme fatale, the sexy catsuit and whip makes her looks like a woman who dominates men.
Morgana looks like a miniature mascot, hard to see and easy to miss, with weapons he can easily use. Igor probably meant to make Morgana an ally and give him some things that wouldn't be hard to use due to his miniature size.
Yusuke is seen as a quiet cold artist, who's quick to draw his weapon/brush in a flash when the moment strikes. His outfit also has white, black and blue, frequently seen as cold/winter colors.
Makoto is harder to pin, but she is seen as the enforcer of the principle or like his loyal knight, her mask looking very knight-like, her knuckles could be seen as almost word play of her "knuckle down and follow orders" personality she gave off initially.
Futaba was really interacted with by Sojiro, he saw her as a strange but exceptional girl, like a high tech specialist, her persona being a UFO also represents how alien she is to everyone, strange but fantastic.
Haru has a refined elegant look, but is armed with a brutal axe and grenade launcher, many saw her as a proxy of her father and perhaps perceived as being capable of being as ruthless and aggressive as he is as a business man.
Akechi is seen by all his fans as a hero and all around "pleasant boy" even as the second Prince detective, his outfit being very princely, his weapons being fantastical, his fans believing him to be capable of doing impossible things just by being star struck by his charisma. His Black Mask outfit also fits, given it looks like the in universe Neo Featherman series outfits, mashed with a prisoner theme: Shido and Yaldabaoth see him as nothing more than a doll to be used and thrown away when it bores them.
The appearance or namesakes of the Phantom Thieves Personas are also rather fitting concerning their circumstances or how they rebelled from society.
Akira/Ren has Arsene, based on the fictional character Arsene Lupin. Arsene was written as a force of good, but often found on the wrong side of the law, which is well symbolized by Arsene's Gentleman Thief combined with his angelic black wings, who is also Chained by Fashion. Akira/Ren had just recently found themselves on the wrong side of the law and branded a criminal for something he didn't do, but is still a good person.
Ryuji has Captain Kidd, based on the real life figure William Kidd. William Kidd was a pirate, who are often stereotyped as having eyepatches, golden teeth, and peg legs. The third is actually very fitting, considering Ryuji's leg was broken by Kamoshida and thus he'd have a bum leg for awhile. Kidd was also notably tried and executed, and Ryuji's fit of rage caused the Track Team to get disbanded, effectively "executing" Ryuji.
Ann has Carmen, based on the character that the same play is based around. Carmen is a known heartbreaker and deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. This is fitting because Ann has been trying to keep away from Kamoshida, never confronting him while his cognition of Ann shows that he wants her to be his Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Carmen is shown having two broken hearted men in chains with herself, which befits how Ann not only stops running away from Kamoshida to fight against him, but also destroying his cognition of her, in essence intending to break his heart.
Morgana has Zorro, based on the fictional character of the same name. His character was seen as a savior who defends the commoners of the indigenous peoples of California from tyrants and villains who seek to control them. He hides his fighting abilities when pretending to be a commoner, instead opting to look like a coward and a fop. He also has a horse named Tornado. Fittingly enough, Morgana specializes in Wind/Garu spells, and his cat form has been used more than once to innocuously spread calling cards. Morgana was also created by Igor to find Persona users to help him and defeat/overthrow Yaldabaoth, therefore being a "Savior" to Igor and the rest of Japan.
Yusuke has Goemon, who is based off of the real life figure Ishikawa Goemon. Goemon's supposed earlier life involved the death of his parents while he was very young which lead to him swearing revenge upon the killers, which befits how Yusuke's mother was left to die by Madarame and he in turn swore revenge upon him. Goemon's acts of stealing from the rich and giving to the oppressed poor is also fitting in the sense that he's stealing Madarame's fame and giving it back to the oppressed artists he's long since subdued. Goemon's appearance is also fitting, looking like a Japanese ink wash painting brought to life, and Yusuke is an artist!
Makoto has Johanna, who is based on the supposedly fictional Pope Joan. Pope Joan was said to have disguised herself as a man to infiltrate the church and have risen up to the Papacy, only to be ousted as a woman and killed when she had delivered her child in full view of everyone else. Makoto similarly tried infiltrating the Phantom Thieves at the behest of the Principal, which lead her to the point of finding Kaneshiro's hideout who was intent on making her into a sex slave (aka "with child"?). Her awakening could be seen as her "Death" (which in the Tarot symbolizes change) and rebirth into a Phantom Thief. And what better way to ride out of your old life than on an awesome supernatural motorcycle!?
Futaba has Necronomicon, a fictional Tome of Eldritch Lore in the Cthulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft. It's fictional author was said to be "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, which gives a nice connection to Futaba's Pyramid Palace theme. Not to mention the factor that the Necronomicon is said to be a book of forbidden and eldritch powers fits Futaba. Afterall, what better Persona for a girl who indulges in the illegal art of hacking? Furthermore, it's UFO appearance hits in the sense that Futaba has alienated herself from everyone else, but has been trying to make contact with others like aliens in urban legends do.
Haru has Milady, based on the fictional character Milady De Winter from The Three Musketeers. Milady De Winter is known as a spy and criminal, who had married into royalty but was nearly killed by her husband when her status was found out. And after she manages to survive and tries to get vengeance, she is found out and later executed by beheading. This fits Haru as she willingly joins the Phantom Thieves in hopes of reclaiming her father's heart, and that her fiance is a Domestic Abuser intent on using her as his plaything. And while Haru succeeds in her "vengeance" of stealing her father's heart, he gets killed and essentially leaves heading the company to Haru who doesn't know the first thing of being a CEO, essentially being left headless. The loads of guns within Milady's dress is also fitting, because when faced with the idea of a future with someone like her Fiance, that's exactly the kind of protection you'd want to keep him away.
Akechi has Robin Hood and Loki, based on a fictional story of the same name and the god of deceit and lies in Norse Mythology. Robin Hood's appearance fits with Akechi's desired public image, and his story fits as stealing from the rich to give to the poor. But when the rightful king returns, Robin Hood gives up being a thief and is knighted by the King...which is essentially what Akechi does the moment he's done working with the Phantom Thieves, going back to being Shido's lapdog. Loki is fitting in the sense that he's one of the parties responsible for instigating Ragnarok, the all out war at the end of the world in Norse Mythology. He killed a beloved figure, insulted the gods over their past misdeeds and gave a Motive Rant to how he did all of his, and even fathered a few of the monsters responsible for tearing up the world when Ragnarok comes. This all fits how Akechi intends to build Shido up (killing a "beloved" figure), oust The Conspiracy (insult the gods on their misdeeds) and even testify of all of his own to further break down Shido (Motive Rant to how he did all of this). And that "Fathering Monsters" bit also helps in the fact that Loki has the power to make Shadows go berserk, essentially turning them into vicious monsters! As well, one of Loki's most noted powers is shapeshifting. Akechi has the ability to change his Metaverse Outfit, and uses the false facade of a "Detective Prince" to hide his inner darkness.
The appearance and stories of the evolved Persona's of the party members is also fitting.
Ren/Akira/The PC has Satanael at the end game, who is said in game to be a Gnostic representation of Lucifer before he fell from grace.
Ryuji has Seiten Taisei, the titular Monkey King in Journey to the West.
Ann has Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Witchcraft, Crossroads, and Necromancy.
Morgana has Mercurius, the Roman God of Commerce, Luck, Travelers and Thieves. Mercurius is much more lean in build, wears more rougeish attire and wields a cadaseus in stark contrast to Zorro who had a bulkier build, armor and wielded a sword. This shows how Morgana has embraced his lifestyle as a thief and is a general benefactor/guide to the Phantom Thieves as a whole.
Yusuke has Kamu Susano-o, the Japanese God of Storms.
Makoto has Anat, a goddess of War that has appeared in several northwestern Semitic Religions.
Futaba has Prometheus, the Greek Titan who gave mankind fire.
Haru has Astarte, the Mesopotamian Goddess of Love and War.
Akechi has Loki, the trickster god from Norse Mythology.
His wings go from feathered to black bat wings, as he is draped in armor that looks fine, as well as a dark halo, representing how the PC is willing to embrace being a criminal if it means it's for the good of mankind.
He represents a more beneficial representation of Lucifer, how he freed mankind from ignorance and gave them free will. The Protagonist's endgame at this point is to free humanity (or at least the general public of Japan) from Yaldabaoth's influence. Notably, Satanael isn't shown in actual places as being a good being. This could be interpreted that the PC is no longer going by societal expectations, but creating his own meaning in the world.
He rides a living cloud and wields a staff weighing 800K, which shows how Ryuji is able to work under the pressure and go wherever he pleases at the same time.
"Seiten Taisei" is noted to be a title Sun Wukong gave himself when trying to entice the residents of Heaven. After extending his own life, he was found by Buddha and crushed underneath the Five Fingered Mountain for 500 years until freed by a Monk, who he then followed. Ryuji had notably changed his image after the incident with Kamoshida, going from a good kid to a delinquent to fit where he was at. He was crushed by Kamoshida's own hands, and was going to be executed by Kamoshida's Shadow. While Ren/Akira/The PC isn't exactly a monk, he does free Ryuji, and Ryuji proceeds to follow Akira loyally.
Carmen's twindrills have turned into wicked hair with eyes in them, she wears some armor on her upper body and the two broken hearted men have become rabid dogs at Hecate's command. This well represents that while Ann does have very good looks, she won't let herself be defined by them and that she knows how to look out for, reject and control those who would seek to get to her via her looks.
Hecate is also known as being more at home at the fringes of greek society, how she defies boundaries, eludes definition, and is even seen as a savior by some. Ann became a Phantom Thief by accidentally stumbling onto the Cognitive World, and finds a place she can belong in the Phantom Thieves. As a model, she also eludes definition, and is in with the other protagonists in starting the Phantom Thieves, in essence becoming "saviors" to the oppressed populace.
Susano-o is now a Walking Shirtless Scene with tattoos covering his skin, baggy pants, stark white hair and a scarf with an actual sword compared to Goemon's over the top traditional wear, black pompadour and his sword looking like a huge pipe. This befits how Yusuke seems to be getting more in touch with modern society and the people around him.
Susano-o was known for rampaging through Heaven when he lost to Amaterasu, and was eventually thrown out. He then finds out about the Orochi from a grieving family who lost 7 daughters and are about to lose the last one. Susano-o proceeds to kill it, take a sword from it's innards, and gift them and two other items to Amaterasu as an apology. This seems to befit how Yusuke has embraced the lifestyle of a Phantom Thief, going from a possible enemy of them to someone who helps venerate them. He even creates the calling cards past the 3rd palace.
Anat is a Transforming Mecha of a Motorcycle, plated in steel. The calm face of Johanna has been replaced by an angry visage of a woman with horns. This represents how Makoto won't let society's labels define what she can or can't do, and how she can be or go wherever she wants to if she puts the effort into it.
Anat is known in multiple stories to have avenged her fallen brother by killing Mot, and dragging him back from the underworld. This befits how Makoto was "dragged into reality" by the Phantom Thieves, as well as her desired purpose in life by the end of her Confidant by becoming a Police Comissioner. It also befits how protective she is of her sister, Sae, when she becomes the object of the Conspiracy's fancy.
Prometheus appears like a ball engraved with rainbows and having what appears to be a smiling face emoticon. This seems to befit how Futaba now views life, instead of a lifeless wasteland, there is possibility, vibrancy and color that she has come to experience from her time with the Protagonist.
Prometheus is known as the titan who gave mankind fire and knowledge, which had incurred Zeus's wrath. He was to be chained to a rock, an eagle ripping out his liver each day, only for it to regrow in the night, to which the cycle would continue ad infinitum. He was freed by the hero Hercules during the 12 Labours. This befits how Futaba was tormented by her own self-loathing thanks to the men in black sent by a "god" (aka Shido), and it wasn't until "heroes" saved her (aka the Phantom Thieves) that she started to get better.
Astarte appears to be a black silhouette of a woman with her hair let loose, wearing nothing but lengerie, a large crescent moon symbol on her forehead, and her bottom half is concealed by what appears to be a constantly rotating triple headed skull that faces three directions. One with it's eyes open, the next with them half open and the last with them shut. It also appears to have a rotating halo like thing around itself. This seems to befit on how Haru is able to be more open to people in spite of her status, being able to open her eyes to everything around her.
Astarte is known as having multiple associations, mainly with Goddesses like Aphrodite or Ishtar. She is known as the "Queen of Heaven" in some contexts, but she's also been known to have been demonized into Astaroth, one of the three dukes of Hell. Haru was well known for her high status as Okumura's daughter, but after her father confesses and dies, and she falls in with the Phantom Thieves, it befits how she's become one of the forces for criminals, which society in game could perceive as "Hell".
When one looks at Loki, he has Dazzle Camouflage, a type of camouflage used on ships to mislead onlookers as to what direction they're going. Furthermore, its legs seem to shift into horse's legs at the knee down, his fingers turning into claws and the braids on its head turning a fiery red at the tips. It has horns and wears a malicious smile on his face. In a way, Loki's appearance shares a lot of similarities with Arsene, given they share the smiling face, horns and fingers. Both are the intial Personas of their respective users, but while Arsene is known to be a good guy, Loki is well known for being a malicious troll. Both Akira/Ren and Akechi were put into positions where they were dehumanized by society, but while Akira/Ren tries to make the best of his situation, Akechi wallows in it and becomes more corrupted. It even shows in how Loki is becoming more monstrous in appearance, like how Akechi has become a monster as well. The factor that Dazzle Camouflage is used on ships also details his relationship to Shido: he's trying to misdirect people from hurting Shido, at least not until he can sink the ship himself.
Loki is known as a trickster god in Norse Mythology, who usually got people into as much trouble as much as he got people out of it. However, after Balder's death and during a night the other Aesir were being cruel to him, Loki drunkenly ranted about how he caused Balder's death and how much everyone else sucked. In retaliation, they killed his children, tied him to a stone and make venom drip into his eyes. When Ragnarok happened, he was one of the confirmed casualties. This befits how Akechi was doomed to fail or die no matter what he did, be it by his father's cognition of him, a death sentence for all the murders Akechi did, or fail to defeat Joker as the two couldn't help but fight each other as per Yaldabaoth's game. And unlike the rest of the Phantom Thieves's Personas, Loki was demonized by Christianity marking him as a villain, much like how Akechi was demonized by society for being a bastard child and for saying the Phantom Thieves aren't justice. @nenilein
