So, this is my second story of this website, the first one, Flash of Heroism, is actually doing really well. So, I love BNHA and Persona, so why not put them together? This is what I came up with! The Personafied Hero!
Same as my other story, this will be a weekly or whenever I feel like updating type of story.
This might be a Game! Fanfic, so yeah...just a heads-up.
Please review and give me advice on this story, and feel free to check out my other story, I put a lot of effort in it, so yeah.
Anyways, the couple will probably MomoxIzuku, again, but maybe a harem since Persona games let you date multiple girls at a time, so...
And, main issue is the social links. I don't know if I should do it Persona 5 with the added benefits or like just like P3 ad P4?
I will be making Izuku have multiple Personas and stuff, and will include basically everything staple in the Persona series, i.e Fusion, social stats, etc. Just need to figure out how to incorporate them in the story.
Please, enjoy this new story! Welcome to The Personafied Hero!
Chapter 1: The Room...
Midoriya stared out the window of his infirmary room, watching the sun set and the sky turning into a red-ish orange mix. He looked on glumly as he looked away from the beautiful sight and looked at his bandaged arm. He gripped his arm as he struggled not to tear-up as he thought back to what happened at the USJ building. He couldn't do anything as soon as Shigaraki got close Tsu, and he couldn't even do anything once All-Might arrived. He just laid there injured as is mentor took down the rest of the villains, further using up what little power he had left.
"Dammit..." He hung is head low as he started to let the tears fall. Clenching the sheets of his bed, he ended up crying himself to sleep, not noticing a blue butterfly flying through his window and landed on his head. It flexed its wings and shined in the dark room, and once the light dissipated, it was no longer there. Midoriya stirred in his sleep, his frown deepening.
"What the...?" Midoriya looked around at his surroundings as he slowly walked forward. The sky was a mysterious black and blue, and in the middle of it all was a building that looked like an agency. He stepped towards it cautiously as it seemed out of place.
"Where am I? I am dreaming, right? Or...something else entirely? Either way, I shouldn't take this place lightly." He said as he saw that the building had the lights turned on. He reached the door and was about to grab it, but a small, blue butterfly came into his view and landed on his hand.
"A butterfly?" Midoriya said as it then flew and merged with the doors, causing the whole building to glow with power as the winds picked up, causing the green-haired boy to shield his entire body from the winds the building created and he ended up blacking out from the pressure. When he came to, he was on a bed. He quickly sat up and looked around to see he was in a room with the door to it open. He felt that he needed to go through it and did so, and he saw that he was still in the weird dream world and then noticed a big, blue door with gold trims around it.
"Alright, all-here goes nothing..." He pushed the door open and saw a desk right in the middle of it with a spotlight shining right on it, a mysterious man with a wide grin just like All-Might's and had a long nose. The other person present other than him was a girl no older than him that had a blue and black button up coat with a black dress skirt, black socks and shoes, and finally topping it off literally, was a blue beret on her long platinum blonde hair. Her golden eyes pierced his very own as he slowly walked in, very nervously. The man in the desk held out his hand in a welcoming manner.
"Ah, young Hero, welcome to my Velvet Room." His ominous voice rang through the room as Midoriya grew more and more nervous. He then noticed the girl that was by the man bring a chair and seated it right in front of the desk and motioned for him to sit there, which he unwillingly did and sat down right in front of the man. He felt the sweat drip down to his back as he stared at the man.
"Where are my manners, apologies. My name is Igor, the master of this room, and this is Novella." He motioned towards towards the girl in the room. She bowed towards Midoriya, who blushed and waved at her, causing her to give a small smile in return. Midoriya felt his nerves calm down as he lowered his guard a bit.
"So, what am I doing here, and what is this place?" Izuku said as he glanced around the room, which was no less as weird as outside the building.
"This place is the Velvet Room, a place that transcends the realms of reality and dreams, it takes the form of one's desires and/or true feelings of the world. This is what your's is." Igor said to the boy. Izuku looked around at the interior, which really resembled a hero agency building, which made Igor's words actually true, since the School Festival is right around the corner. He blushed a bit as he saw the All-Might poster on the wall and then turned back towards Igor.
"I see but what a I doing here?" He asked. Igor only chuckled as he displayed a nearly destroyed book and placed it on the table. Izuku felt the power of the book even though it was nearly destroyed, and looked at Igor confused.
"What's the book for?"
"This book is yours, now place your hand on the book." Midoriya slowly did so and the back of his hand began to glow. He gritted his teeth in pain as an insignia began to appear, and it felt like it was burning his hand ten-fold. He fought the pain as he also noticed that the book was also glowing the same insignia. His vision began to tunnel, but he held it out as it finished. Midoriya collapsed to his knees as he looked at the insignia in his hands, a sword with unconnected wings. Igor clapped in amusement as Midoriya stood back up, slightly peeved that there was not sympathy for his pain.
"Very, very good! Now..." Igor motioned for Novella, and she pulled down a lever. A huge cage dropped from the ceiling and inside was a white lion with a scale-looking tail, that resembled a snake, and Midoriya thought it was an actually snake. He stepped back when it breathed fire and nearly scorched him in the process.
"W-w-w-what is that?" Midoriya trembled a bit as the monster was staring into his eyes. Igor smirked and nodded at Novella, who opened the cage. The monster immediately charged straight at Midoriya, who dodged at the last minute, but suffered a scratch on his cheek as it started to drip blood.
"Why, that's a Persona, more specifically a Cerberus." Midoriya didn't understand what a Persona was, but it didn't matter as he focused his attention towards the lion monster thing. It howled and rushed him again, but he was ready and dodged yet again and sent a Delaware Smash at the thing. Midoriya dropped his guard as he thought that would take it down, but the monster leaped out of the smoke and clawed at him, sending him flying into the wall on the other side. The boy's face stuck in confusion and fear as the beast came closer and closer to him.
"I'm...too...weak..." Midoriya was struck with fear as he thought he was done for, even if this was a dream, he was too afraid to do anything. Igor watched on with great interest as his eyes stayed on the trembling boy, while Novella looked on with a passive look.
"Is this what you've got? Such wasted potential..." A voice rang in Midoriya's mind, snapping him out of his fear. He looked around in confusion.
"What...?"
"What happened to what you've dreamed for? Are you going to throw away your goals? What about the people who believed in you?" The voice said with power as it continued. Midoriya stopped trembling completely and took in consideration of the voice's words.
"What about saving people? Are you going to leave those people to suffer chaos?" Midoriya stood up in an instant and clenched his fists. He was still afraid, but the words that the voice said gave him strength.
"No...I wanted to become a hero to help people! I can't runaway from those in need!" Midoriya said as he looked at the Cerberus with a new found confidence.
"...Very well, I have heeded your resolve and find it very suitable indeed. Now, let us form a contract." All of a sudden, a sharp pain flashed in his head as he clenched it, groaning and gritting his teeth in pain. He felt unknown power coursing through him, giving him immense energy and power.
"I am thou, thou art I. The battlefield that is orchestrated is of one beauty, a fine spectacle of thine place. Now, thou hast gathered power to crucify the world of it's own evil. Go, and see through the discrepancies and rid of the chaos that looms over thine world! Sharpened intellect and mind comes with great responsibility, use it, and once more! Bring this world through a crusade of benevolence! Go, my master!" Midoriya noticed his hand glowing, and with that, he yelled and a burst of power overtook his body, the pain in his head had stopped. A blue aura surrounded and consumed him. Igor's grin grew as he saw the what he saw in the young man blossom.
When Midoriya came to, he noticed that he was wearing a monocle with gold trims on his right eye. He looked down and saw he was wearing a white sleeveless button-down vest with a green long sleeved undershirt. His tie was white with green and gold trims and seams. His white faux fancy trousers and his white dress shoes and green socks shined with power as he looked at his outfit with astonishment. He noticed the torn up book was now restored and floating next to him, surrounded with a white aura.
"Woah..."
"I suggest you focus, Master." Midoriya looked up to see a man with long black hair, a long white and green regal strategist outfit, and his hat was that of old Asian decent. He basically screamed old Asian warfare. He closed his fan and smiled at him. Midoriya couldn't looked away as it looked real and a projection at the same time, he was surrounded by the same blue aura. Midoriya shook his head and turned back towards the Cerberus, and the book suddenly appeared in his hand and started to glow once more as he felt the power in it. His monocle suddenly close in on the Cerberus and scanned it.
"Scanning complete. Target: Cerberus. Weak to ice. Drains fire. Strong against nuclear." Midoriya was stunned, but soon nodded. He felt power and knowledge course through him as the pages flipped and turned to a page. He placed his hand over it and his insignia glowed as he held it up in the air.
"Go! Zhuge Liang, Flurrying Ice Dance!" The insignia glowed as the page and flashed as a card appeared and was crushed by Midoriya's hand. And Zhuge Liang sent a numerous icicle at the beast, defeating it as it vanished into a smoke cloud.
"Very impressive Hero, you have awoken your Persona. And..." Igor got out of his chair and bowed apologetic to Midoriya.
"I put you in harm's way to awaken you to your new power. I'm very sorry." The boy blushed and quickly told him that it was nothing. Igor smiled and sat back down at his desk.
"Let me fill you in on your power. Personas are the manifestations of one's heart, it can take the shape of many things, but most notable, famous people and or myths that are passed down. Yours happened to be Zhuge Liang, a masterful strategist of the Shu Kingdom during the times of the Three Kingdoms and..." Igor stopped as Midoriya's body began to glow until a small orb flew out of him and suddenly transformed. The light blinded the green-haired boy and forced him to turn away, but Igor watched on with great interest. When the light dissipated, a woman in clad armor, a banner in her hands, and her brown hair cascaded down her back with a silver circlet. Midoriya couldn't help but look at her as she was gorgeous. He then noticed, just like Zhuge Liang, she had the blue aura.
"Very interesting indeed. This is something that never has happened before." Igor said as, if even possible, his grin grew even wider.
"What?" Midoriya asked as he watched as the woman looked around in confusion, while Zhuge Liang looked at her with great interest.
"Normally, a person, if strong enough, should have only one Persona, but you. Hero, you have two Personas born from your heart, not even the other Wild Cards had such power."
"Wait, others?"
"Yes, there were others before your time that could wield multiple Personas at once, but they only had one in their heart. You are special, young Hero..." The woman looked at Midoriya and rushed over to him, or floated over to him. She bowed before him, which made him uncomfortable.
"You are my master, please, let me be your sword and shield!" Midoriya scratched his cheek in nervous, getting a chuckle out of his other Persona. He sighed and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I'd be glad to have your power." She smiled and bowed even further.
"Thank you, young master! My name is Jeanne d'Arc. Pleased to serve!" Midoriya then sat back down after learning about the two and looked in the book that he got the power from. In there, he saw in the first pages were both of his Personas.
"That book allows you to summon your other Personas, and acts kind of like a directory of sorts. Since, both of your Personas came from your heart, you can just summon them with your insignia without the book, but for other Personas, you'll need to use the book. Don't worry, it will come to your beck and call should you lose it."
"Wait, there's more Personas?" Igor nodded.
"Yes, more specifically, they're shadows of their selves, meaning they will attack you without provocation. Shadows can only be defeated by Personas, that is why your attack didn't do any damage to that Cerberus." Midoriya nodded and looked around and pointed to the door to the right of them.
"Where does that lead?" Igor smirked and displayed a file out of nowhere. He ushered for Midoriya to take, and the boy noticed how easy and comfortable it was to move. He opened it and looked at the contents of it, displaying some sort of pixie with a request to defeat it.
"That door is used for requests, just like how agencies in your world works. This is similar to that, why don't you try it out? Once you complete it, there will be a reward for completing it, for this case, it will be 5,000 yen." Midoriya understood and went over to the door and opened it, revealing a slot.
"Put the file in there and it will open a portal to that location of the request, once it's complete, a portal will appear to take you back here. Good luck." The boy nodded and Jeanne and Liang went into his body as he placed the file in the slot. It took it and opened to reveal the portal.
"Here goes nothing..." He stepped into the portal and he was in a forest. He then noticed a couple pixies flying towards him and sent lightning at him. He dodged and called for Jeanne. She appeared in a bask of white light as she held her banner in a fighting manner.
"Wondering how she uses that as a weapon..." Izuku then ordered her to attack, and she charged at the group of pixies, dodging their attacks as she leaped into the air and stabbed one of the pixies with the sharp top of the banner, like a spear. The pixie's body disappeared in a shadow and dispersed.
"I think we should leave it to her, she seems a capable fighter." Zhuge Liang said as he watched as Jeanne defeated two more pixies by slashing them and then jumped and smashed another with the pole as she slew more and more pixies until there was only one left. The pixie looked fearfully as she tried to escape, but was stopped by Jeanne. Midoriya walked up to his Persona and saw the fearful look on the fairy's face and told his Persona to stand down.
"Mi'lord, that thing is dangerous-" Midoriya stopped her as he looked at the frightened look on the pixie.
"We're acting like the villains here, slaughtering all of those pixies, I know they were shadows, but..." Midoriya felt like a villain as he ordered his Persona to kill pixies, and he felt terrible about it, and apparently the pixie felt that and slowly went forward towards Midoriya. Jeanne held up her weapon and was about to strike it, but Zhuge Liang stopped her and shook his head. She felt conflicted, but lowered her weapon as she looked on with worried, Midoriya looked at the pixie as it grasped his with her much smaller hands and gave him a small smile. All of a sudden, the pixie glowed white as Midoriya's book glowed as well and all of a sudden, the book fell to the ground, and the pixie was nowhere in sight. He got up and grabbed his book and opened it to see a shocker, pixie was in his directory.
"What happened?"
"Apparently, you were able to break her from her shadow, and now recognizes you as her master. Path of benevolence is a way to the heart." Zhuge Liang said as he put his hands in his sleeves and turned to see the portal open up.
"We should go before something bad happens." The strategist said and returned to Midoriya, Jeanne looked with worry as he walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder, reassuring her that she did amazing out there, and gave her a smile. She reciprocated it and returned to him. He walked through the portal and was once again in the Velvet Room.
"Ah, welcome back to the Velvet Room, and I see you have a new Persona! Very well done. Here." Igor placed 5,000 yen on the desk and Midoriya stashed it in his wallet that somehow came with him to the Velvet Room. A bell chimed in the background.
"Ah, that signals that the morning is nigh. I'm sure you're wondering, your powers will still be active in the real world, consider it a "quirk" if you will, however there also is a chance that shadows will appear in that world as well. One of your Personas will notify you on that, now off you go." The entrance opened and a rift appeared as Midoriya slowly went over to it. He looked back to Igor and Novella and waved with a grin on his face.
"Till we meet again, young Hero." Igor placed his head on his hands and Novella did a small wave as Midoriya stepped into the rift.
He ended waking with a jolt and cold-sweat running down his back as he calmed down. He looked around and he was still at the infirmary. Recovery Girl opened the curtain and went over to check his bandages and anything else that might be wrong. Once she determined that it was okay, she discharged him and told him he could go home and to school. He nodded and thanked her then walked out of the infirmary and checked his phone.
"5:20, still have some time until school starts, and to go shower." He checked and recoiled back as he smelled awful, plus he needed to change out of his hero costume. He thought he could change it into his outfit when he used his eyes went wide and checked the back of his hand, seeing the insignia still there and sighed before walking back to his home, noticing the fatigue he had.
"I'm feeling a lot more sluggish than I should be. Is this...?" Midoriya thought as he reached his hoe and went straight to the bath, letting the feelings of the water overtake his tiredness and relaxed his muscles and nerves.
"I feel a lot better since I'm in the bath, but what would cause this immense amount of fatigue on my body?" He questioned as he soaped his hair and watched as his favorite green rubber-duck floated in the bath with him.
"If I had to harbor a guess, it probably had to do with awakening your Persona power, not only did you awaken to them, but you also fought in that world too." Midoriya almost jumped out of the bath in shock, but remembered that his Personas were technically quirks now. He continued the thought from what Zhuge Liang said.
"Maybe, but that was the dream world, right? I shouldn't feel tiredness in reality."
"Perhaps, but it felt like your physical manifestation was there itself, no?" Midoriya had to agree as he finished bathing and dried himself. He went to his room and grabbed his uniform, putting it on and looking at himself in the mirror.
"Wow master, you look rather dashing in that uniform." Jeanne said in his mind. He blushed and fixed his tie before looking at his scrapped hero costume. It was beyond repair and trashed it in the bin.
"I can tell All-Might about it later." He then summoned his book and looked at the cards in there before tapping on Jeanne's card and it displayed numerous things.

Midoriya finished looking over her card and summoned his monocle. He scanned the card and it went into it.
"If I'm ever going to be doing battle with my Personas, I need to now them like the palm of my hand, especially Jeanne and Liang." He then grabbed Liang's card and studied it.

Once Midoriya got that into his monocle, he close his book and check the time.
"6:45, good timing. Mom! I'm leaving for school!" Midoriya said as he ran down his stairs and nearly got out of the door, but his mom stopped him and made him face her. Inko looked at her son and embraced him.
"I'm so glad you're safe, after what happened yesterday...I thought I lost you." She sobbed into his shoulder and he returned the embrace. He felt so warm in her embrace as he slowly pulled back and looked at her tear-filled eyes. She wiped her face and looked at her son proudly.
"Now go, be a hero!" He smiled and ran out the door with a piece of toast in his mouth. He sped off to catch the train to his school.
"Man, this day is going to be something else." Midoriya said as he ran, excitement in his face.
"Now, now. Don't be hasty, you're still relatively new on this Persona deal..."
"I have to agree with him, master. Please, don't push yourself too hard now."
"Hey Jeanne, can you not call me master, it is...rather embarrassing." He scratched his cheek.
"Oh! My apologies, Mi'lord..." He sighed and smiled as he made it to the train station and boarded the train.
"Oh, and Zhuge Liang, I know I'm new to this, but I feel like a great power has come onto to me, meaning a great responsibility. And I'm going to need all the help I can get." He thought as he scanned the horizon.
"Of course, I'm here to serve."
"Me too. You have my loyalty, Mi'lord."
"Thanks, both of you." Midoriya smiled as he closed his eyes and finished the piece of toast. He remembered everything that happened that night, at the Velvet Room. Almost seemed surreal for him, but Jeanne and Zhuge Liang were proof that it was all true. He clenched his fist as he had a chance to be the hero he always wanted to be, along with OFA. He sighed as he saw this day as a turning point for his brand new power, and he was going to make the most of it. Finally, he had a another way to fight evil, and disperse the chaos from this world, much like what Zhuge Liang said. Midoriya felt this day started out good until he checked his back.
"...I left my backpack at home..."
"..."
"...Mi'lord, what's a backpack?"
Sigh.
And done! How did it go? Like it?
Anyways, how did you think of the descriptions of the Personas? Of course I didn't do Pixie, because I'm pretty sure Pixie is literally Zio and Dia. And I made her the first Persona to be taken, again...just like a lot of the SMT games.
How were the Personas, bad? Good? Their descriptions? Hopefully they're good since I really like both of them as characters and actual people. Very interesting to learn about them.
Anyways, really need help on the confidants/social links and who should what arcana. I'm basing it around P5 confidant system, since I think it's the best one. And the leveling, really need suggestions on that.
And finally, the pairing of this story. Tell me, harem, or one girl? Momo will probably be the one girl, since I freaking love Momo and Izuku together.
Review and give advice to better this story.
And probably a bad thing, put go check out my other story. Advertisement on my own story for my other story, yeesh.
Hopefully you guys liked this chapter, and wish for me to continue this story since I love BNHA and Persona, and doing Fanfictions.
Anyways, hopefully you enjoyed and I hope to see you in the next chapter!
