Persona AU for Psychonauts

This is focusing on the Psychonauts campers. Their personas are based on constellations.

Major theming for this story would be what makes you, you? And the personas are summoned from breaking any type of reflective glass, shattering the expectations others have for you.

Razputin "Raz" Aquato Arcana - The Fool Persona - Capricorn -> Perseus Bio - The main character. Has always been able to see personas and people's potential for them, but never had a word for them. Ends up getting sucked in after following Lilianna and her Persona.

Lilianna "Lili" Zanotto Arcana - The Magician -> The Lovers Persona - Cancer -> Fornax Bio - The leader of the group and one who knows the most about Personas. Her persona has already been able to change and evolve, but she hasn't unlocked its full potential. She's quite cold and unwilling to come out to a lot of people. Even those in the group have clashing thoughts about her.

Dogen Boole Arcana - The Chariot Persona - Sagittarius -> Boote Bio - Another who is willing to teach Raz, though still very green. One of the latest to gain his unlock of his persona.

Elton Fir Arcana - The Emperor Persona - Pieces -> Dorado Bio - Sees Raz as a rival, as he thinks/knows Lili begins to crush on Raz. Has a strict sense of how the story should go and inserts himself into areas Raz is interacting with the group to try to change the subject. Especially with Lili.

Elka Doom Arcana - The High Priestess Persona - Leo -> Cygnus Bio - One of Lili's best friends. Also was given the ability to see Personas. She can relate to Raz with that, but also sees this more as a forced situation than Raz's excitement.

James "J.T." Theodore Hoofburger Arcana - Wheel of Fortune Persona - Gemini -> Canes Vinatici Bio - J.T. is a very kind individual, and a great leader. If Lili ends up out of commission, J.T. is her go to for second in command. He's one who first sees potential in Raz and is willing to bring him in. Lately he's been taking more risks and going against bigger foes because he feels he's not strong enough.

Melvin "Chops" Sweetwind Arcana - Strength Persona - Aries -> Lupus Bio - Similar to in the game, he worries about his friend, J.T. around other girls. While you could unlock a story where J.T. and Chops went on a double date with Lili and Elka, the main thing Chops is worried about is how J.T. is coping with his questioning of his own feelings about people. J.T. refuses to talk about it with Chops.

Chloe Barge Arcana - Justice Persona - Libra -> Circinus Bio - One of the more passive characters, Chloe is doing her best with rehabilitating a bully, much to Lili's chagrin. Because of this Chloe doesn't come as often as Lili needs her to early on in the story. Lili is constantly worried about her, but Chloe is perfectly fine. Chloe is also the one who will do the most research on the Personas, trying to dig up anything she can on them.

Crystal Flowers Snagrash Arcana - The Star Persona - Virgo -> Monoceros Bio - Crystal is her usual depression + toxic positivity self. And the Persona AU is going to take that very seriously. Raz is going to do his best to make sure that Crystal feels welcome, even if he isn't. Also you know how SMT games usually have a character who dies? She doesn't commit suicide btw, she dies due to either another persona user or a monster.

Clem Foote Arcana - The Hermit Persona - Scorpio -> Phoenix Bio - Crystal's other half. He wants to have "enough courage" to do it, but never musters it up because the group does their best to try to help both him and Crystal. It's only after Crystal's death does Clem's Persona evolve into Phoenix, showing how he's going to do his best to live on despite Crystal not being able to.

Phoebe Love Arcana - The Empress Persona - Aquarius -> Scutum Bio - Also one that was VERY shaken up by Crystal's death. She had basically been there with Raz to help both Crystal and Clem. Phoebe is all about trying to keep the group harmony and wanting everyone to be okay. While Lili is the Persona group's leader, Phoebe is a class president above Lili's grade.

Quentin Hedgemouse Arcana - The Sun Persona - Taurus -> Lyra Bio - Honestly came here because Phoebe was here. He is by far the most chill and willing to work with other people. He's also terrified that he doesn't know who he really is and he's afraid to be alone because of this.

Bobby Zilch Arcana - Judgement Bio - Bobby is the typical bully stereotype and if he was given a persona he'd most likely be an antagonist. But he is not one.

Nils Lutefisk Arcana - The Devil Bio - Nils is also seen as a bully but specifically one that girls will go out of their way to avoid. The few times he does meet up with the girls in the group, Elka or Lili will stand up for them. If hanging alone with Raz, Nils gets into the idea that he feels he needs to make up his mind on who he dates because his parents were school sweethearts and married early and are pressuring him to carry the family legacy. Doesn't excuse his actions though.

Vernon Tripe Arcana - Death Bio - Vernon is on the school's newspaper and tries to keep up with all the goings on. More of a hassle character than anything that inhibits progress, but if interacted with then posters of events and different stories would pop up in the school.

Maloof Canola Arcana - The Heirophant Bio - Maloof is obviously bad news to Raz. He's doing things that he doesn't want others to know about and is more than willing to work with the villains to make sure Raz stays out of his way. Bad news to any "players" is that The Heirophant arcana can be a big boost.

Mikhail Bulgakov Arcana - The Moon Bio - Mikhail is always around Maloof, so it's very hard to get to know him one-on-one. Most of the time he is wanting to fight and wrestle, so not only would Raz get a boost with the arcana, but also with training his strength.

Benny Fideleo Arcana - The Tower Bio - Benny is going through it. Nothing too major with his trauma compared to others, but he's constantly losing his friendships and doesn't know what to do. Raz could be a friend to him, and get boost for the tower, but also learn a lot more about how Benny, as a bully's lackey, came to be that. Benny sees Bobby like a brother but never felt comfortable to share his own interests. He has to rediscover himself and his love for singing and dancing and theater.

Franke Athens Arcana - The Hanged Man Bio - Franke is one who is easily pushed around by Kitty. She doesn't really feel her own identity, always identifying as "Kitty's best friend."

Milka Phage Arcana - Temperance Bio - Milka always tries to hide herself and her feelings. Raz going out of his way to bond with her helps her muster up the courage to ask Elton out.

Kitty Bubai Arcana - The World Bio - Kitty is very manipulative and wants the world to be her oyster. If she likes something, she wants it and will do anything to get it. She feels like she already knows who she is.
