Round 4 AU Workshop
In Round 4, all characters will be veteran Agents. That means they have been Agents for at least 6 months, and up to 2 years. This post can be used for sorting out that AU history.
Arrival at the Foundation
Arrival at the Foundation will generally follow this pattern:
1: Your character won't remember exactly how they were removed from their world. As far as they know, their memories just 'cut off' abruptly at whatever canon point you choose for them. They will have the feeling that there is a gap in there somewhere, but they won't be aware of how long it is or what happened during that time. Their first memory after this gap will always be the same: waking up naked in a cold room with a large, strange machine nearby. Regardless of what they were wearing before, they will now be wearing an orange jumpsuit.
2: Shortly after awakening, they will be taken from the room with the strange machine and brought to what looks like an interrogation room. In there, they will have their intake interview. The interview will vary based on how your character responds to being questioned, but in the end they will either agree to be an agent or end up being subdued and locked away in a cell until they agree to cooperate. Here are some examples of the intake interview: (1), (2), (3).
3: After the intake interview, characters will be taken away for training. This will vary based on what your character already knows, but by the end of it they will be proficient in the following: technology use (on par with 2019, as well as the use of Foundation-specific tech), reading and writing (in English, which all characters are suddenly able to speak), firearm use, containment protocol basics, and testing/training in using their powers. This process could last as little as a couple days (long enough to test out of all the training) to a few months (for people who know none of that and need to learn everything).
4: After their training is done, characters will start being assigned on missions. Characters will generally be assigned to tasks that fit their talents, but you can expect any mission they are sent on as D-class agents to be very dangerous. Casualties will be common.
Rankings
If a character survives being a D-class agent for long enough, they have the potential to become a C-class agent. C-class agents are generally given better assignments (to Safe SCPs with well-known containment protocols), and often are expected to be the 'leader' for groups of D-class agents.
For this round, your character can potentially be a C-class agent if they meet the following qualifications:
1: They have been at the Foundation for longer than 6 months.
2: They have been generally cooperative with the Foundation.
3: They have a particularly useful skill (mundane or otherwise) or a useful power.
If they don't fit those requirements, go with D-class to be on the safe side.
AU personality
Depending on the length of time they have been at the Foundation, a character's personality may be somewhat different from how they are in canon. This is to be expected, given the kind of work the Foundation does. However, characters should still be recognizable as themselves, and all changes in personality need to be explained on your app.
Any AU history or personality changes that are not listed on your app will not be considered canon for this game!
TL;DR -
- Characters will be agents of the Foundation.
- They can be there for anywhere from 'six months' to 'two years'.
- You must write up a summary of their AU history.
- You must also explain how this AU history has affected their personality.
- Time matters! Someone who only did the intake interview will be pretty much the same as they are in canon. Someone who has been with the Foundation for a few months will have Seen Some Shit, and their personality will probably have changed a bit.
As a final note, you must seek permission from other players before you may use their character in your character's AU history! If you want to have your character trained by Atsushi, for example, then you must ask Atsushi's player for permission, and we will seek confirmation from that player. Apps that fail this step will be automatically rejected!
So go ahead and get planning!

Canon: Persona 5
Age: 19
Foundation time: Max, two years.
Rank: C-class, hopefully
Probably the only known version of Akira Kurusu to qualify for C-class. He is willing to play ball with the Foundation if it benefits him. It's not any worse than striking a deal with a cheating god with control issues to reshape society.
That said, he's played his canon and checked out all the endings, plus looked up what people have to say about the endings, so the chance of him admitting he took the deal is Not High. Outside missions, he tries to maintain the appearance of a less selfish, more well-meaning Akira. He talks to people a lot, building his web of confidants, always open to a deal. A favor for a favor. He's very big on mutual benefit, you catch more flies with honey. It's just good business.
On missions, Joker is still the flashy, charismatic gentleman thief but he's ice cold to his targets and the fact that some of them are human doesn't seem to matter. He prioritizes survival as himself > civilians > his confidants > non-confidant agents. As for living SCPs, where they rank depends on how firm the Foundation was about wanting them brought in still alive or whether he thinks he can negotiate with them.
He's really only gotten harder and colder over his time with the Foundation, his distrust of other people, especially adults in authority, crystallizing further (salt crystals, clearly). But he keeps the cynicism and resentment hidden behind a smile and humor.
So by all means, give me confidants, people that have only met him in passing, people that sense what's really behind that smile and don't like it, any and all types of CR.

Basically a 'hello, I know what you are, I'm that way too, let's be friends.'

aka they've probably started their confidant stuff, and he's The Emperor bc lmao guiding male influence.
no subject
Now he's had to start all over. :c
Maybe he shows Moriarty part of his list of confidants.

God, this cr is going to be terrible AND glorious.

Technically not his original Akechi since Alex might be bringing him from anime but ownership is a state of mind. c:

They would have known her during her Class-D days since she's newer, but she's since made it to Class-C for some added safety. She's an adult, but the only real "authority" she tended to take was to worry for the well being of other squad mates during missions and generally do her part to keep casualties to a minimum. So far, her C-class activities reflect this as well.
If he tries to strike up a deal with her, she'll probably be mildly suspicious of that just because deals in her experience are usually sinister, but depending on the deal she'd probably go along with it. It's easy enough to keep her content enough to keep favors flowing honestly, so if he needs her or her cantus for things, /fingerguns
no subject
He'd be curious about the extent of her cantus, like, can she do the DNA thing on humans, too?
no subject
It would also be easy for him to tell she's not very fond of the thought of humans coming to harm in general; she's absurdly pacifistic towards people it seems, even if she neutralizes nonhuman SCPs without batting an eye.

He, uh, will also take issue with the drugs. Akira doesn't love that sort of thing after the interrogation room.
no subject
he won't be alone. Thankfully (or perhaps unfortunately??) Silver doesn't have many deets about his drug trials himself. Just that they're meant to make him more useful for the Foundation.
no subject
Akechi would be trying so hard to keep a distance for the longest time, but... sighs @ weakness for Jokers, in general.
He would also be trying to fight him, as I've said before. :'>
no subject
Also he doesn't want to fight you? He'd kick your ass anyway, he gained a bunch of levels after you. You know. :
no subject
Too bad, because he wants to fight you.
no subject
Fiiiine have it your way, at least he has some good heals for after he puts you on the ground.

hey
permission for Futaba to try to keep track of like a hawk
no subject
hi it's still me
When I meant "watch like a hawk" I meant more "constantly check to see that he's okay" given uh. Given the high casualty rate among D agents.
I just wanted to make clear that it's coming from a place of concern rather than suspicion, I swear I'm not infomodding you orz
