Trent Proctor
- Main Plotlines
-
Ascension plotline The Five Stages of Death, Rebirth and Revelation of the True SelfAs it has already been stated in his character profile, Trent Proctor suffers—or at least he suffered—from severe depression. This problem escalated to the point where he actually self-harmed and attempted suicide, and these events cause him great emotional turmoil, even to this day. He is certain that, for him to truly and completely move on from his past and from that self-destructive behavior, something in his general demeanor and/or mindset has to change definitely, though he is not certain exactly what and, even if he did know, he would not know exactly where to begin. For this plotline to be resolved, five events need to take place. Before Trent Proctor ascends to a different Persona, he must:
- Accept that he has put off the road to self-recovery off for far too long,
- Realize that trying to rush through his recovery and evolution as a human being is impossible at best and counter-productive at worst,
- Acknowledge that holding onto his past feelings and reinforcing them constantly by way of stray comments and thoughts will get him nowhere,
- Recognize that, although he might be able to draw strength from his friends and close ones, only he himself can cause his problems to disappear for good, and,
- Confront—while drawing strength from his bonds with other people and his newfound resolve—his past thoughts, feelings and insecurities (by way of a joint combat against his Shadow Self—manifesting itself in the physical world using a Volatile Doppelganger as a puppet—and an Enveloping Phantasy).
Once all of these events have taken place, Trent's current Persona, Alphes, will ascend into Antares, the hidden deity of concealed truth and revelation. Current state: Incomplete. First event has taken place - some progress made.
- Assorted Information and Interests

Friendship Currently, Trent Proctor isn't too interested in making too many friends with other people. However, he is forcing himself to do so.
Romance Because of certain past events, Trent has some difficulty opening up romantically to other people. However, once he does, he can (and will) tend to become quite clingy and affectionate to the target of his feelings, with him being willing to give everything to help said people. Chances are that he will not take break ups very well. He does not discriminate between men and women—he is so desperate that he will develop romantic feelings for whoever it is that returns them.
Ruins exploration Because of the inordinate amounts of free time he possesses, Trent goes to the Ruins quite often—possibly even daily. While he is there, he doesn't have a set goal in mind—he simply goes and kills all of the Shadows within reach, then leaves once it gets late. The chances of running into him while he is there are quite high.

Sandra Arboleda
- Main Plotlines
-
Ascension plotline The Silent Elegy for the Distant and Forbidden Past of the True SelfAs it has already been stated in her character profile, Sandra Arboleda is adopted. Not only that—she originally belonged to an entirely different society from the one she currently lives in by the actions of her adoptive parents. This gives her a great amount of turmoil, as she acknowledges the life she lives currently—as the daughter of both a politician and a famed attorney—is not easy, what with her having to deal with the media and the wild speculation of the masses on a daily basis. Sometimes she feels insecure of who she is—of where her true self belongs—, and she wonders if she should somehow try to reintegrate herself into the society she left behind without her consent. This plotline has three possible outcomes. Sandra can:
- Reject her current family and dedicate herself to helping out the indigenous populations of her country. Once this event takes place, Sandra's initial Persona, Bachué, will ascend into Madrenatura*, the representation of the purity of nature and its rage against humanity.
*:Madrenatura is a fusion of two different creatures from Colombian lore, the Madremonte (living incarnation of the wild forest and an old witch that hunts those that harm it) and the Madredeagua (young and beautiful witch that lives in all of the bodies of water of the world, that blesses fishermen and, according to certain interpretations, kidnaps children)
- Cut all ties with her past culture and adopt the culture imprinted on her by her parents fully. Once this event takes place, Sandra's initial persona, Bachué, will ascend into Bolívar, liberator and founder of the Great Colombia.
- Acknowledge that all of the elements of her upbringing and her heritage have made her into what she is today, and end all of her negative feelings for both her parents and her past. Once this event takes place, Sandra's initial persona, Bachué, will ascend into Bochica, founding hero of civilization, bringer of morals and laws and creator of the Tequendama falls.
Current state: Incomplete. No apparent progress made.
- Assorted Information and Interests
-
Friendship Although initially Sandra may seem to be cold and overtly professional, it is moderately easy to get her to open up to people and make friends, as long as she deems their personalities to be agreeable. Once a friendship is established, however, she becomes protective and caring towards her friends.
Romance Sandra does not tend to be the first person to develop romantic feelings towards other people; more often than not, she is an object of affection before a giver. Once she establishes a romantic relationship with someone she is willing to give everything to keep them away from danger. Although she identifies as a heterosexual, she is willing to go into a relationship with another woman if mutual interest is strong—anything can happen.
Ruins exploration Since Sandra's Awakening she has displayed a strong interest in continuing to explore the Ruins, mainly to help other unawakened individuals or possibly assist other users in exploration.

Ryouta Murakami
- Main Plotlines
-
Ascension plotline The Broken Illusion of the Cruel Beauty of the True SelfAs it has been mentioned in his character profile, Ryouta focuses on his physical appearance and muscular tone a lot. This has become a problem since he has tended to neglect other aspects of his life - like his family, friends and even sometimes his studies - in favor of exercise. It is not a problem to him, since it feels entirely normal by this point, but he has sometimes become stressed and/or exhausted over the amount of exercise he is doing or the results of his exercise to an unnatural degree. Slowly but surely he is beginning to realize that perhaps it has turned into an obsession, but he still needs a little push for this reality to settle in his mind completely. For this plotline to be resolved, Ryouta needs to realize that the obsession he has gained over his own appearance is unhealthy and is keeping him from enjoying life to the degree he theoretically could if he put as much effort into other aspects of his life as he did towards his bodybuilding. Current state: Incomplete. No apparent progress made. The Complete Acceptance of Soul Satisfaction and Liberation of the True SelfAs it has already been stated in his profile, Ryouta is gay, but heavily in denial about this fact. For his whole life he has attempted to convince himself that he has at least a passing interest in the opposite gender and, failing this several times, thought of himself as a sort of strange, inhuman freak. Although he has been exposed to other people like himself and he now knows it is normal for humans to express romantic and/or sexual desire in their same gender, this goes against every definition of masculinity that Ryouta has had in his entire life, and directly contradicts the actions of his older brother - the person he admires the most - and therefore he cannot accept himself as he is. In a way this problem stems from the fact that he is afraid the people around him will reject him for who he is, and as such he has never touched the topic with anyone and, subsequently, hasn't realized that most of the people close to him would be perfectly okay with that. For this plotline to be resolved, Ryouta needs to embrace the fact that he is only interested in his own gender and acknowledge that trying to deny this is futile and will only bring him grief. Current state: Incomplete. To some capacity, he has acknowledged his desires.
Once all of these events have taken place, Ryouta's current Persona, Ajax, will ascend into Antinous, he who was a man's bliss and then a god of the people.
- Assorted Information and Interests
-
Friendship Ryouta is in no way opposed to making new friends. If a person shares his interests, then chances are that he will be more than happy to make friends with them.
Romance Ryouta has no experience when it comes to romantic relationships with other people. When he receives advances he may either be completely oblivious to them - which is something that has happened before - or may lock down completely, becoming awkward. However, receiving advances from other men will almost invariably provoke the second response in a rather aggressive manner. If a person wishes to pursue a romantic relationship with him, they must do things quite slowly. However, his state of denial over his sexuality means that he will initially enter relationships with women as a way to cover up his sexuality, but said relationships will tend to end in catastrophic ways. Only after he accepts himself will he be able to enter a relationship with a man - one that he actually enjoys. Ryouta is homosexual and quite in denial about it. Relationships with women will never bear great fruits, and only after some time will he be able to enter relationships with men.
Ruins exploration Upon his awakening, he hasn't expressed a marked interest in exploring the Ruins, occasionally assisting for no reason in particular.

Yoshie Kurosawa
- Main Plotlines
-
Ascension plotline The Disclosure and Revelation of the Meaning of the True Self
As it has been stated in her character profile, despite the fact that she maintains a carefully crafted cheerful image - to the point where it feels even more real to herself than any other state of person does - Yoshie harbors negative emotion within herself, and has kept it enclosed for a rather long time. The reason this has become an issue is because it has become a constant source of stress and general deterioration of her mental state, a situation that needs to be addressed before too long or else she will not be able to keep her façade on for much longer.
For this plotline to be resolved, Yoshie needs to fully accept pain and suffering as parts of life, and stop trying to conceal them from other people. Even though it is a gradual process, specific events need to take place for the process to fully come to an end. Once this event has taken place, Yoshie's current Persona, Viridea, will ascend into Aletheia, inner world disclosure and comprehension given physical shape in the universe of things.
Current state: Incomplete. No apparent progress made.
- Assorted Information and Interests
-
Friendship Saying that Yoshie is prone to making friends doesn't even begin to describe her situation. Her cheerful, easy-going demeanor is infectious to say the least and it tends to attract people towards herself - an event that she enjoys, for she likes having many friends.
Romance Yoshie isn't entirely blind to the world of romance, since she's had boyfriends in the past. However, she has not fully opened up to a person in her entire life, and should it happen it will be an important element in her development. Yoshie is completely heterosexual, and it is impossible for her to harbor feelings towards individuals of any gender other than male.
Ruins exploration Yoshie has not yet awakened to her Persona, and as such isn't even aware of the existence of the Ruins.
