Gaia Name: Arena Emperor

Name: Haruto Mashiba
Nicknames: Haruto-kun, Stud (for his earring, not his undeniable sexiness)
Age: 16
Appearance:
School: Okina City
Grade: Junior
Homeroom: 2-5
Love Interest: Noelle Everett
Apartment Room: Kirijo Apt. 201
Roommate: None
Personality: Quiet and sly, Haruto is a very observant type doesn't tend to speak much unless he is spoken to. He enjoys talking when invited, however, and is a bit more adventurous than he should be...taking risks, doing things, and saying things that, while funny, may get him in a bit of trouble. Beneath his quiet but fun-loving, slightly mischievous veneer, however, is a young man with a good and loyal heart. A true friend, is quite looking forward to joining a new school...and watching the Beach Volleyball team, of course. He is intelligent and diligent when at work, though he will try to avoid it on occasion.

Post-Iwadate: After the Iwadate Massacre, Haruto's light hearted attitude became a little more solemn...his guilt and anger and need for vengeance still hidden by little hints of humor and fake smiles. He has accepted much of the truth of what happened to their team, but carries the weight anyway. There are shadows of the fun-loving young man he was before left inside of him that come out from time-to-time, but until he has finally put the demons to rest...he remains not quite the same as he was before.


Bio: Son to fairly well-to-do and generally caring parents, Haruto's move to Iwadate came by his own choice with the full support of his family. Unsatisfied with his school in his home of Oshu City, his parents agreed to allow him to attend Iwadate and live in the dorms so long as he maintained a Top 10 GPA. While in the city, Haruto remains under the occasional guidance of his older sister and his great aunt and uncle, both of whom now live in the Iwadate area. Despite being fairly fond of his awesome yet doting aunt and uncle, he's come to be unable to stand his older sister for the way she flaunts herself in front of his friends...and prays that she won't meet any of the new friends he makes in Iwadate.

Moving to the city, Haruto now must decide which clubs interest him (he had stints in many clubs back in Oshu City, but rarely stuck with one for long as they grew boring), try to make new friends in the school and dormitory, and decide whether or not he wants to become involved in the mysterious rumors taking place near the Tsukuyomi Shrine on the Iwadate Beach.

Post-Iwadate: The loss of his team during the 'Iwadate Massacre', and the death of many friends, brought a great darkness upon the light heart of Haruto Mashiba. Though time has given him perspective to see that the fate that befell them was neither something he caused or could have prevented at the time, it does nothing to assuage the guilt of losing so many people near to his heart...losing the cave and the secrets within...and seeing the mission they had fought for months to achieve come to such a dreadful conclusion. The vision of their smiles, their laughter, and the times they spent together still haunt him...a weight he bears heavier than any other as the leader of the so-called 'Light Team'.

In the wake of their loss, it was he who knew that the team would have to appear dead if they wanted a chance to avenge their friends...to disappear from the town, avoid the suspicion that would fall upon them with their presence at the beach at the time of the massacre...he would have to put aside old grudges and join with the remnants of the so-called 'Dark Team' under Saito, escape the city, and wait until their new-found enemies resurfaced to make their move. And so they lay in wait, Saito and Haruto keeping their heads above water...following the clues until the trail began to lead to what was swiftly becoming known throughout the country as the 'Supernatural Hotbed' between Iwatodai, Okina City, and Inaba. There they found another break...the presence of the Kirijo Group, one heavily involved in the strange Iwatodai incidents not so very long ago. Putting the clues together was enough to try and go on for a team with very little hope.

Haruto explained the course of action to the team, and all together they boarded a train to Okina City with a single purpose...to warn those like them of the looming threat to both their teams and the city...and to wait for their true enemies to reappear in order to enact their vengeance upon them.

Name: Mijiyou Harusuhei
Nicknames: Miji, Haru-Haru

Grade: Freshman
Homeroom: 1-D: Ms. Eriko Tomiya, Home-Ec Teacher [Music Club Adviser]

Love Interest: Hmm~ Someone with some Spunk!!
Personality: Cheery and upbeat, Miji acts rather childish at times, yet has a serious side somewhere deep down. He has a tendency to ramble, or even speak too fast. He's easily distracted, and tends to be more comedic than serious. May or may not speak while inverted. (Handstands FTW)
Bio:Mijiyou grew up with a rather calm, if dull life. Home was dull, school was dull. His life was.....dull. So, he decided he'd start spicing it up by taking several different clubs and learning many different things. He really showed great talent in soccer, being fairly Agile, and quite graceful making a powerful forward. However, Mijiyou lacks the serious drive to play competitvely, choosing instead to show off rather than improve on his skills. His parents sent him to Shirokidan in hopes he would get serious and start working at a sport or career though he seems content to merely roam the halls after hours, and play around. The rumors of the Shrine interest him, but as always, his attenion has a way of not sticking around. Will something catch his interest, and hold it?
Only one way to find out...

Gaia Avatar: [Mods will do this.]
Gaia Name: Great Ryoman!

Name: Shinpachi Saito
Nicknames: Shin, Saito-kun
Age: 17
Appearance:
School: Okina City
Grade: Junior
Homeroom: 2-5
Love Interest: Available
Apartment Number:
Personality: Usually busy with some idea or another, Saito tends to be direct when he speaks, and it's only when he's intentionally relaxing that he goofs around with others. Despite being direct when he speaks though, Saito is always shifting from one hobby to another, whether it's baseball or his most enjoyable past time, listening to his headphones, and thus acts competitive when playing sports and relaxed when he's visiting stores or sites like anyone else. Despite having moved, Saito shows no hesitation diving into new events and making friends, and thus can easily become popular due to the self-confidence he seems to exude.
Bio: The only son of a long lineage reaching back into history, Shin was raised by his father after his mother's unexpected and premature death. The inspiration his father used for many of his life long lessons came from stories about the Saito, a clan in the Sengoku Era who helped destroy the Imagawa and that married to the Oda, going from the most powerful clan in the period to...well, the most powerful clan in the era. By drawing on stories of his family Shin was taught to do things with vigor, and he adapted an unusual respect for his history, deciding to one day make a name for his family once again and bring the Saito back to power. Despite this seemingly outlandish goal though, setting a marker has helped him develop his physical skills and education, and using the motivation he had he became one of the most popular and smartest students in his school in Osaka, though he was unfortunately unable to participate in some of the country wide events due to his freshman status; in big city schools such as his own, even despite his incredible skill, seniority played a key role and Shin accepted his place as an up and comer with relative grace.

After his father was offered a job in Edo, the two agreed to move to the northern half of the country, and so they sold Shin's childhood home and he moved to live in his cousin's home, whose father also recently moved away from work. Despite having no nearby family but his cousin, Shin has taken to the move optimistically, and on condition that he not let it effect his grades he's been given freedom to take control of his life as he pleases, though lesser men might formulate insane ideas like...late night parties, or skipping classes...but despite the terrible temptations, Shin has shown a remarkable resilience to slacking off and abusing his new power. Aside from his past however, Shin's been known for a multitude of other things; his ability at sports, including time playing both baseball and soccer, as well as some basketball, his impressive physique due to martial arts training that he took, imagining himself like a Saito warrior of old, and his place amongst the top students in his school. While he's most known for his popularity in his old school as well, Saito often found time to spend on his own, and wears an iconic pair of headphones most of the time, which often gave those who caught him sitting alone and listening to music something to wonder about when he was seen, as well as a few nicknames along the way...

Post Iwadate: Although Saito was drawn into the fight between the 'Light' and 'Dark' Teams, agents of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi respectively, his belief in their cause was crushed by the "Iwadate Massacre". Any hope of restoring Tsukuyomi fell when the entrance to the underworld was crushed and sealed, and for a while Saito thought that was the end of the purpose of their Persona powers. Having never hated Haruto, but only their conflicting goals, the young man's insistence to work together slowly became the reason for Saito to step up and use his powers again. Between the massacre and Haruto's attempts to break down the barriers between them, Saito's spirit was not only renewed but evolved, and he secretly admits that without the incident he wouldn't have the power he does now. Although Haruto's goal was revenge, Saito lacked a clear path until they discovered the Shadow Operatives, and learned of the abundant Shadows rampant in the world. The idea of stopping those who abuse their power, and of protecting humans from Shadows and seeking a way to return them to myth, has inspired Saito to work anew alongside Haruto. Although he can't forgive the people who destroyed their teams, he's dedicated to righting the wrongs they committed, more so than punishing the people who committed them in the first place.

School: Okina City High

Love Interest: MY OBLIGATION TO THE RULES IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN LOVE!
Personality: Ishimaru is a very stickler of rules, making sure to obey them as if life or death depended on it. He make sure that everything was systematically done. If you are one to go by said rules, or are of a higher ranking, he will be quite happy and sociable around. Others, he show a cold disposition towards. Oddly, he shows an extreme hatred towards butter for some reason.

Bio: Ishimaru was always for rules and helping enforce. When he had continued on his way, he had met the famous Mitsuru Kirijo, and by her help, he was given a power way beyond his own comprehension. With the group she was with, he had found the way to use and channel the powers he had found out he had within and how to use them. Recently, he has come to power, and with the recent opportunity to be placed in a team of other active persona users, he had joined with them with enthusiasm, hoping to spread his love of rules.

Age: 19
Appearance:
Grade: N/A
Homeroom: N/A
Love Interest:
Personality: She has a sweet, almost motherly air about her. But many would say her general personality makes her more like a cool big sister, She has a heart of gold, and cares deeply about those close to her.
Bio: Miwako grew up an only child, Being the oldest of the other children in her neighborhood, she acted much like a big sister to all of them, watching over them, making sure they kept out of mischief. Over time she started to develop a motherly side, which she carried into maturity and made a large part of who she is. Though highschool, she met the praise of many of her underclassmen, and even some seniors, helping them out with their studies and other such things. She did have her fair share of admirers in her senior year, of both the male and female variety, some of which even wept the day of her graduation.
Soon after her Graduation, an urge began to come to her...visions in her dreams and a voice inside of her head...of a pale girl with horns in a white robe, of power...the voices whispered a single word, 'Persona'. In the days that followed, word of a game being played throughout Sumaru City, a game called 'Persona'. Learning of the details online, Miwako made the preparations...and played the game. And in its aftermath stepped forth the figure from her dreams, whispering in the voice that she had heard...that figure was Priscilla. Miwako's story, disbelieved by many, came to the attention of Mitsuru Kirijo not long after it began. She was briefed on the nature of her abilities, and when prompted, she agreed to help the Shadow Operatives with their mission. After an intense training period in Iwatodai, Miwako was finally given her first assigned posting with the newly-formed Okina team, and became fast friends with her mentors.
