Persona: POSSESION

Possessed by memories of people he never met and places he'd never been.. of pain he never had..



Author's Note:

This story is not direct fic off any of the Persona games. it is, more like. say, yet another Persona story, based in a world like the ones in the Persona series. Most of the story takes place in Uhara, a Japanese city not unlike Lunarvale or Sumaru. I hope you guys like the story. there really aren't many Persona fics out there, so I really wanted to do this. R/R, please!!!!! Story is rated PG-13 for violence and language. ( And I obviously don't own Persona, wish I did though. well, on with the story! Character bios shall be first. ^_^



The Main Characters

CITIZENS OF UHARA CITY

Sugashima Fa-

Age: 25

Occupation: Detective

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 200 lbs.

Country of Origin: Japan

Complexion: Tanned

Blood type: O-

Hair color: REALLy dark indigo blue

Eye color: Rust red

Distinguishing features: Black wing-shaped tattoo under his right eye; wears ruby studs in his ears.

Personality: Extremely serious, very aloof and quiet, almost cold. Hard to get to know, but is steadfast and loyal once a friendship is made, even if he's very reluctant to show affection.

Biography: Always a very straight laced boy with excellent grades in school, Fa decided to become a police officer after the murder of his older brother, who he looked up to, went unsolved. His life tends to be rather stressful but he tries not to show it and works seemingly tirelessly. He's struck trying to raise his younger sister, and though he attempts to be strict with her has very little control over her and she causes him aggravation to no end. Fa is investigating a string of murders that's happening in the city. The stats match up to the murder of his brother that went unsolved years ago and he's obviously chomping at the bit to solve the mystery.

Likes: Tidiness, black coffee, and of course, law and order (how straight laced can a person get??)

Dislikes: Criminals and his sister's boyfriends (though there tends to be little difference) ;-)

Bad habit: Tends to drink a little too much when he is alone and has down time.

Hidden talent: Adept puzzle solver and model builder/ sculpter



Kirigawa Rei-

Age: 17

Occupation: Student/ Busboy

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 130 lbs.

Country of Origin: Japan

Complexion: Fair

Blood type: A

Hair color: Dark purple/black and amber blond (two colored)

Eye color: Dark brown

Distinguishing features: Two colored hair and the eyebrow ring in his left eyebrow

Personality: Very cheerful, outgoing, and friendly. Likes to help others and can be very charming when he wants to be.

Biography: Your average teenage schoolboy, who's major concern in life is being cool. He got the eyebrow earring to defy authority in his own little way but he hides it from his mom so I don't know how defiant he really is. ;-) He's a pretty hard worker so he gets decent grades, but school doesn't come easily to him. His personality makes him very popular with both male and female students at his high school so he has a lot of friends and acquaintances, but he's closest to Ikeda. He works as a busboy at a pizzaria with Seiko, who can't stand him. Whoever is murdering young, good- looking teenagers in the city is after Rei now, a situation he is less than happy with. He is plagued by a feeling of deja vu when he meets Fa that slowly gets worse with time...

Likes: Dogs, excercising, arcade games, race cars (even though he can't drive ^_^*) and cheeseburgers

Dislikes: Rude people/bullies

Bad habit: Often lets his emotions get the best of him and is really quick to blame himself when things go wrong (I call it Ryo Sanada Syndrome ;-))

Hidden talent: Is actually a very skilled storyteller and secretly writes a lot when he's bored.

Masaki Ikeda

Age: 17

Occupation: Student/ Computer hacker (hehe)

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 120 lbs.

Country of Origin: Japan

Complexion: Fair, with freckles

Blood type: B+

Hair color: Reddish orange

Eye color: Black

Distinguishing features: His freckles, thick glasses, and rather interesting hairstyle. ;-)

Personality: Your classic computer geek who knows more about relating to machines than people. Best friends with Lei, who he relies on to fend off bullies for him. While he's not exactly shy, he still has poor social skills and can't make very many close friends.

Biography: Raised by his computer programer father, Ikeda was always a rather lonely child until Lei's family moved into his apartment building. Though the two became close, Ikeda never formed a strong bond with any of his peers apart from Lei. A computer genius, Ikeda meets Livette through a computer chat room and is responsible for most of the rumor trading online and researching Personas.

Likes: Computers, video games, Cherry Coke

Dislikes: Stupid people, loud noises

Bad habit: Can sometimes look down on people when it comes to his intelligence (especially computer skills) and is prone to lecturing.

Hidden talent: Can write music and play the violin



Sugashima Seiko

Age: 16

Occupation: Student/ Waitress

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 100 lbs.

Country of Origin: Japan

Complexion: Tanned

Blood type: O-

Hair color: Dark blue-violet with a small streak of lighter blue

Eye color: Pink

Distinguishing features: The light streak in her hair

Personality: On the outside, a 'bad' girl who likes to hang with the wrong crowd and get into trouble, but she is in fact a very sweet girl who puts up a front to protect herself.

Biography: Though she was a small child when her oldest brother was murdered, Seiko remembers the incident well and it changed the once happy, sweet child greatly. She came to the opinion that nice people only get hurt, and became the biggest almighty witch you ever laid eyes on. She can't stand nice guys (which is why she picks on Lei so much at work and school). She tends to be a major flirt with 'bad boys'. Her parents became convinced they couldn't handle her anymore and sent her to live with her brother, Fa, hoping he would be a good influence, but he can't really control her either.

Likes: New clothes, CDs, and doing whatever the hell she wants ;-)

Dislikes: Sweet guys ("They make me gag!"), messy rooms (well there's one thing she has in common with her bro) and onions.

Bad habit: Smokes on occasion

Hidden talent: Is a skilled dancer



Toriyama Nuriko

Age: 23

Occupation: Detective

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 125 lbs.

Country of Origin: Japan

Complexion: Rosy

Blood type: AB

Hair color: Brunette

Eye color: Green

Distinguishing features: None, really, just an attractive lady. However, if she is observed closely, sometimes her eyes seem to reflect the light, but the viewer usually passes it off as their imaginationâE¦

Personality: Very strong headed and independent; is resentful of being appointed as Fa's partner and would rather work alone.

Biography: Nuriko's fiance dumped her when she refused to quit the police academy to become a housewife. She was very hurt by this and has consequently become rather cold to men in general. She works very hard to succeed in her job, and won't let anyone dog her because she's a woman. She lives alone and doesn't seem to have many friends. Fa's personality is a little too much like hers so she has as little contact with him as possible even though they've recently been assigned as partners.

Likes: Cats, getting her hair done, and sunsets.

Dislikes: Men in general, but sexist ones in particular, wrinkled clothing, sports.

Bad habit: Practically can NOT ask anyone for help and sometimes bites off way more than she can chew.

Hidden talent: Is well schooled in the Japanese Tea Ceremony



CHARACTERS FROM OUTSIDE UHARA:

Douglas Zanshin

Age: Unknown

Occupation: Assassin/Demon hunter

Height: 6'

Weight: 180 lbs.

Country of Origin: Unknown

Complexion: Pale

Blood type: Unknown

Hair color: White

Eye color: One blue, one red

Distinguishing features: Has one red eye (which he wears a device over to hide) and wears bandages on his hands for a special reason... also wears a sapphire pendant around his neck at all times.

Personality: Very sarcastic and full of himself; might be covering up for insecurities with his brash attitude and rude behavior.

Biography: Very little is known about Zanshin. He MAY be behind the string of murders happening in the city, but then, he may not. Whatever the case, he seems to be targeting Lei now, either for assassination or something else. His looks indicate that he is definitely not normal, and rumor has it he's not even human...

Likes: Fine wine, luxurious hotel rooms

Dislikes: People who get in his way..?

Bad habit: Uh.. is killing people considered a bad habit? ;-)

Hidden talent: Unknown





Livette Delecroix

Age: 18

Occupation: Florist

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 110 lbs.

Country of Origin: France

Complexion: Very pale

Blood type: B-

Hair color: Blond

Eye color: Lavender

Distinguishing features: Wears striking, dark eye makeup and dresses in all black or dark shades.

Personality: Despite her dark Goth appearance Livette is rather lively. Very much a go-getter, she hates beating around the bush and goes directly for what she wants or needs.

Biography: A recent graduate of high school, Livette works in the family flower shop now. She doesn't seem to mind working there, but it's definitely not her life's dream. Livette has been a skilled Persona user since she was 13 and jumps at the chance to travel to Japan and get involved with Lei and Ikeda's amateur investigation of the murders and the appearance of Personas. She comes from a VERY wealthy family and brings a lot of aid and pretty new toys to the picture, ranging from cool cars to private jets. ;-)

Likes: Shopping, reading, and thunderstorms.

Dislikes: Cowards, slowpokes, and sushi.

Jesus Hernandez

Country of Origin: U.S.A

Complexion: Tanned

Blood type: O

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Blue

Distinguishing features: Odd heart shaped scar on his forehead, and a rather large cross he wears at all times.

Personality: Extremely sarcastic and witty, constantly searching for a way to zing someone in conversation. HUGE skirt chasing flirt, but tends to be secretive to the point of being dishonest more often than not.

Biography: A washed up salesman, thrice divorced and only 27, it's rather obvious Jesus (btw, to clarify, we're talking the Hispanic name pronounced Hey-Zeus, not as in Christ. ;-) is not good with relationships. He has a young son in kindergarten but he has a hard time getting the child support in sometimes. ^.^* He runs a small bodega and lives in an apartment above it in Tuscon, Arizona. Rumor has it that Hernandez is an ex-demon hunter and that's where his scar came from, but it can't be verified. He is, however, a veteran Persona user and may have some inside info on Zanshin.

Likes: WOMEN, and a cold beer at the end of the day.

Dislikes: Feminists, men who try to push him around, bill collectors

Bad habit: Has a TEENY swearing problem and pops his knuckles frequently

Hidden talent: Is actually a skilled painter but gave up art long ago for some reason.... *
