What Tarot Card Are You?

The Hierophant

The plan is perfect in every way. Everyone where they need to be, at exactly the right moment, with exactly the right smile. You have moved and manipulated the situation, but did you remember to put yourself in the correct position? You, after all, are still a player in the game - whoever thinks they control the pieces still has to make the next move eventually. Whoever is playing the game is playing against an opponent. Ensure that they have not played better than you.

cost and reward

Some musings about Takeharu knowing of his father's projects, and even continuing some of them. A) for the sake of sparing Mitsuru from being the subject of them, B) because it's the only way to test and figure out how to resolve Dark Hour (Something about acceptable sacrifices.)

More musings under the cut

Tbh this only arose out of some thought about how murky the entire timeline of events pre-P3 present day is. Eg. When did the experiments on kids start and 'end'? How do you learn of persona and potential when no one had it till after the formation of tartarus and Dark Hour as a phenomena? How did Shuji continue to get away with his heinous research when Kirijo group is supposedly cleaning up its act after the explosion lol.

Also, blaming everything on Eiichirou Takeba is such a great way to clean up things haha.

I'm sure the game didn't want to frame Takeharu as this character, nor muddy up Ikutsuki's lack of humanity.... but it's too much fun lol. Also, I love the thought of Ikutsuki not being a total black hole for forming bonds, eg with Takeharu or with Sho. Love love love Ikutsuki holding some genuine attachment, all whilst still doing things that go against that as is his fatal flaw.

Anyway, in my Dad Shuji AU, I actually attempted to fill the above plot questions haha. Shuji and some others in the blast vicinity gain potential "naturally" and thus study on it themselves, which is what I like to think happened in canon too. Some mumbo jumbo about shadow influence etc. Still leaves a lot blank but eh

More obscure muses ( Introduction ) series.

Fandom: Persona 4: Arena.

Muse #1- Sho Minazuki

Age 18-19 ( games )

Due to being a child test subject in Persona-related experiments, Sho is a young man with a vicious streak and a thirst for fighting. He is puerile, caustic, extremely volatile, and easily bored. Through Shuji Ikutsuki's influence, Sho developed a habit of making puns. Raised in near-isolation, Sho was never properly socialized, and thus finds it difficult to relate to others in a typical fashion; combat is ingrained in him as his primary means of social connection, but this is not a tendency that serves him well among ordinary people.

Sho is highly misanthropic and wishes for a world in which only he lives. Ever since Ikutsuki "threw" Sho away as a failed experiment, Sho developed a deep mistrust of others' intentions, eventually doubting the authenticity of any and all human bonds, viewing them as a crutch others cling to when they're too weak to stand alone.

He was an orphan who was once one of Shuji Ikutsuki's test subjects, much like the members of Strega. Due to his unusually aggressive tendencies and tremendous fighting potential, Ikutsuki regarded Sho as his favorite test subject. As part of the experiment, named "Project PUPPETMASTER," Ikutsuki isolated Sho from the world to prevent him from forming ordinary bonds and ensure that he would become the ideal fighter, relying on combat alone to connect to others. Sho came to bond with Ikutsuki and view him as a father figure even so, a role which Ikutsuki accepted as a means to manipulate Sho.

After escaping a hospital years later and settling in Inaba before the serial murders began, Sho developed an interest in the case and followed the investigation team around in secret, feeling that perhaps they might be able to understand him. He eventually judged this an impossibility, however, and fell into bitterness and despair. He shrugs off the notion that any person can be truly trusted or relied upon, concluding that those who do are both weaklings and fools. Sho comes to yearn for a world in which only he exists.

Sho used to have the SUN arcana but in the end turns into the MOON arcana. Sho had the potential to become a wildcard but refused to do so; Igor still thinks he will become a guest in the future. To date, Sho is the only character in the Persona series, as well as the first Wild Card, to reject the contract of the Velvet Room. He is also the first character with the potential of being Wild Card to use his abilities for malevolent purposes, the second being Goro Akechi from Persona 5.
