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!

Goro Akechi | Persona 5: The Animation
Name: Goro Akechi
Canon: Persona 5: The Animation
Age: 20
Foundation Time: 2 years
YEAR ONE:
-Arrived close to his birthday, for some reason, and from the December fight. Thanks, assholes
-Goro was a dick to basically everyone for the first 1-2 month(s), but it was that wet cat/"stay away from me, I'm terrible" kind of song and dance.
-Started following orders pretty closely and without any hesitation after that
-Got hurt a lot and was pretty fucking reckless - anyone with healing powers could have been on his team to patch him up! Those folks would have gotten a lot of weird looks
-6 months in, he was being a little more careful, but still pretty distant to anyone trying to be his friend
-He also nearly died around this time. It was fun
-Nearing the first year mark, he was starting to look a bit distracted, but never explained why to anyone
-Spent his birthday just sitting and looking depressed. Unless someone knew it was his birthday, it was never made known, shrug emoji
YEAR TWO:
-He began talking to Saki Watanabe! They began having coffee together, but he was still trying to keep an emotional distance from people, at this point. So, it was a lot of small talk with him planning to see how well he could use her in his goals, l m a o
-Deadly missions, near-deaths, etc. cont'd... but with him being a little more careful, for some reason
-Edging close to the two year mark, he told Saki about the murders he did, and retained her friendship????? He wasn't sure what to do with this. But, he did start calling her Big Sis. None of that managed to affect his cooperation with the Foundation. He was still working his ass off, still looking pretty loyal.
I'll be trying for C-class, since that's something he would ICly shoot for! Everything else is TBD after poking around on here!
NOTES / CHANGES
Pre-established CR
TBD
Saki
Coffee friends, she's big sis
Erhard
Has patched him up a few times! For some reason.
Leo
Has been nice to him for SOME reason. :T!!!
Ryuji
CAFE!!! More coffee that is not absolutely terrible. Goro's jealous of him, because he thinks he's kind of cool.
Moriarty
They've been on missions together. Moriarty has been genuine and fatherly to Goro, and is winning him over because of that.
no subject
She's not really sure how this happened either, but she's okay with it. She would've gotten him a gift for his birthday too, congrats on reaching adulthood!
no subject
... As well as the reason he hates it.
no subject
no subject
He will hate how much she means to him.
no subject
(no subject)
no subject
Considering he owns a cafe he appreciates someone who values decent coffee
no subject
The stoneface bit likely has him thinking Ryuji's super (unfairly) cool. He is.... Probably jealous of him??? lmao.
BUT ALSO COFFEE......... God, the coffee would be a weak point, as Ryuji would quickly learn.
no subject
As for being cool, lol, he can kinda give off that air cuz he doesn't care how he comes off to others. If he knew Akechi thought that though he'd be oddly pleased???
he's called aniki in canon more than once for a reason, lawlno subject
I need to find a way for Ryuji to find out what Goro really thinks, though, laughs
no subject
no subject

no subject
Or at least have a slightly worrying affectionate fixation on you.no subject
It's awful that Goro will like this......(no subject)

(no subject)
no subject
Also being very genuine and fatherly towards him because just because they're evil doesn't mean they have to be monsters, okay.
no subject
I am absolutely okay with them having gone on some missions together. It likely helped Goro get to know him a little better and realize he's being legit.
Honestly, he'd be pretty easy to win over, for Moriarty. The guy would be giving Goro one of the things he craves most of all: a genuine father figure.
no subject
RIP Sebastian Moran, Moriarty didn't deserve him
But yeah, the great thing is also that Moriarty genuinely means it, he's a very genuine dude surprisingly! Also, you know, not gonna pass up the chance of teaching, even if it is teaching how to be properly Evil and not self-destruct. Say hi to your new dad, Akechi.
no subject
He so needs all the people possible to shove him away from being self-destructive, too, so this'll somehow be incredibly good for him. Once he learns Moriarty is being genuine and true, he'll become James-san. :>
no subject
no subject
OOCly, I would love for them to maybe, eventually, possibly hang out in some way. He would be expecting her to never warm up to him, given /gestures at all of P5
... But, he will find it physically impossible to be outright mean to her. Awkward, however, is another matter.
no subject
ALSO I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD CLARIFY: when I say watching like a hawk I mean more like... checking up on. Constantly. My train of thought is that her more support-oriented abilities/skillset would probably mean she's held back to monitor/keep track of agents and such (under a C class agent because she's too much a rebel child to make C class lets be real) which means she's probably.... watched a lot of that high casualty rate. So between that and her intensely favoring the familiar, I do think it'd be possible for them to... reach an "okay" state, with awkward moments.
also this conversation helped me realize that we... established in r1 that for the P5s, Personas are still only working in the metaverse right? I'm remembering that correctly?
no subject
AND I... ACTUALLY DO NOT KNOW, but will def ask, since this is relevant to me due to having a super low-level Akira and then (hopefully) this guy. I just remember them working during R2 and then during R3.This is my first time playing a Persona that would be super useful in fights, so I'm just now needing to question these things, laughs.
EDIT: Got an answer, and they work all the time! :>
