A/N: We meet again children of man. I must admit, I am quite surprised. I did not expect so many of ye to possess the potential. I have received several requests from brave children all throughout thy world who wish to undertake the quest and fix thine world's balance. And so it appears that even more are making themselves known to me as we speak. As ye shalt recall from our previous discussion, this task is only meant for nine gifted individuals. The first spot has already been claimed by the young man who shall become thy leader and guide into the unknown. He will be the light in each of thy dreary lives. Like so many of ye, this boy's life revolves around death. A single moment changed his life forever, and now death has become a constant reminder in his life. I believe some of ye, children of man, art familiar with the words "Memento Mori". An object to remind one of death. It's almost poetic, in each of thy lives, thou thyself is a Memento Mori. Thy lives have been touched by death and that is why ye possess the potential to see what others cannot see, to hear what others cannot hear, to do what others cannot do. Thy leader is special even more so, death is always on his mind. It haunts him, it worries him, it scares him. But still he embraces it as a part of life. His courage speaks volumes to me and as such I have made a decision concerning ye, children of man. We shall make a game of this endeavor.

Of all the volunteers that have revealed themselves to me thus far, I shall choose eight children who I think have what it takes to stand with thy leader in this quest. The rest I'm afraid to say will be barred from undertaking the quest, but worry not, ye who are not chosen are still free to enter my realm as ye so please and observe the goings on of the children who will fight in thy stead. I sincerely hope ye will continue to give them thy support. Now then as for the rules of this game. On June 2, 20XX at the stroke of midnight and the beginning of June 3, I shall reveal to ye thy champions who shalt undertake the quest. But please note, those who are accepted. Once my mind is made up, there will be no turning back from this journey. Thine lives will be forever intertwined with thine leader, the nine of ye alone must be the ones to overcome all obstacles that stand in thine way and find the source of the balance's distortion. So until then, I encourage anyone who has the potential to come forth and make thineselves known to me. Rest assured, all are welcome.

Now then, this rarely ever happens but I feel that an occasion as special as this deserves some more formality so I shall prepare another contract with some new revisions that I think thou shalt find very interesting:

Name: Last, First

Age:

Gender:

Arcana: (Please note that the following arcana have now been forbidden from use. Fool, Death, and Judgement. All the other major arcana are fair game. And to those of you who have already submitted some characters for Death, I know there are a few of you out there. I would like to ask if it possible to change your arcana as I would not like to miss out on any interesting characters. And here's the current arcana stance:

Emperor X 3 individuals who possess this arcana have been revealed so far.

Lovers X 1 individual so far.

Temperance X 1 individual so far.

Fortune X 2 individuals so far.

Hanged Man X 3 individual so far.

Tower X 2 individual so far.

Chariot X 2 individuals so far.

Empress X 1 individual so far.

Justice X 1 individual so far.

Star X 1 individual so far.

Sun X 1 individual so far.

Moon X 2 individuals so far.

Hermit X 2 individuals so far.

Priestess X 2 or possibly 3 individuals so far.

Strength X 1 individual so far.

Devil X 1 individual so far.

Hierophant X 1 or possibly 2 individuals so far.

School you attend: (The main school in this story is called Yousha Academy (容赦学園) it's a school for children of all ages who have been orphaned, expelled from other schools, or have been left with no other options. Other schools are fine, just know that if you choose to make your character from another school you won't be able to participate in the events that occur at Yousha.)

Grade at: (Typically high school grades only apply, and keep in mind that in Japanese high schools,the grades are first through third year. In other words, 10th grade through 12th grade. But if a middle schooler or an even younger person who has the potential would like to join the quest they may. Remember Ken Amada.)

Persona: (A previously used persona in the games is fine, just make sure you design them in a different way. And if you want to make your own original persona that's fine as well.)

(F) final Persona: (Same thing applies here.)

Reaper Outfit: (The characters are going to be Grim Reapers so dark, foreboding costumes are recommended but it wouldn't be Persona without some zany anime flare so make them as crazy as you want.)

Weapon: (Scythe is already taken by the MC. But anything else is fair game.)

Appearance:

Uniform: (How does your character wear their uniform? The uniform for Yousha Academy's boys is a blue coat jacket, a white undershirt, a red dress tie, black pants, black socks, and black dress shoes. The uniform for girls is a blue coat jacket, a white undershirt, a red collar bowtie, a black skirt, black socks, and black dress shoes. The academy's insignia is a praying angel. Again, other schools are fine, just make sure you write down what their uniform is.)

Town or city you live in: Tokyo (Non-negotiable).

Living situation: (Yousha Academy is a boarding school so you are free to live in the dorms, or if you want your character to live outside the school that's fine too. Just put who they live with and what their circumstances are like.)

Personality:

Likes:

Dislikes:

Fears:

Background:

Club: (You are also free not to be in a club.)

Part Time Job: (Again, this is not mandatory.)

Social Link (What the MC is helping them through by spending time with them. You don't need to fill everything out for each rank, maybe just some vague outlines will do.):

Shadow Self (This is the stem of their problem. It's not going to be that much like Persona 4 but I do want the character to have points where they have to overcome their inner demons. Describe their true Shadow appearance in detail so I can capture the monster in its fight.):

Moment that death touched them (In other words, what was the tragic event that made them first realize death is a common occurrence in the world. Did they have a pet die when they were young? Did their parents die in front of them from some tragic accident? Or something else along those lines? Describe in detail.):

Romantic interest (What type of person do they like? The story is going to be about other romances and not just the MC's, unlike the games.):

The current number of gifted children who have revealed themselves so far is twenty-eight. But I feel that it is only a matter of time until more are revealed. Until we meet again, children of man. Sweet dreams.
