A/N: You guys~! Thanks to the lovely suggestions from DA/KO/Hades and Saber, I'll be taking a small break from this story, and I'll be doing a side-story dedicated to P4: Arena, except this time, it'll be told from your OCs point of views :3 Sound okay? ^^
This sounds like a really fun break, and since I've been gushing over Arena lately, I think this is perfect for me! 8D I'm not entirely sure if I have it in me to continue with the original plotline, only because it's been awhile since I played the game D; And the only reason I had started it was because at the time, I was watching the animation, but I've finished it early this Summer. So I sorta lost... I dunno, interest? It's harder to write something when your heart's not really in it.
(Man, I just jump from story to story, don't I? Bah, this is why I can't do chapter-fics... I get bored too easily *stabbed to death*)
Naturally, I'll be starting off with my character, only because I already have an idea for her story in mind xD But I'll be having her enter the TV with two other characters owo (I'm thinking Michiyo and maybe... Kazuto? Seichi? Whoever can't think of a story, I guess xD)
For those of you who haven't bought the game yet, the plot is that there are rumors cirulating around that the Midnight Channel has returned (this game takes place 2 months after the ending of P4 and I believe 3 years after the end of P3). The Investigation Team decide to tune in, and they're surprised to see that the show airing is a battle tournament featuring the entire team. Long story short, they jump in the TV and are forced to fight each other.
You can visit the Wiki for a better story, I just wanted to give you a summarized version xD
Alright, guess that's it...? o.e; Don't worry, I made a promise, and I'll still be continuing this story, I just wanted to try my hand at something... different? :3 The only thing I need from you is who you want your character to go off against in the Tournament, how they ended up in the TV (their story, I guess I should say), and their title (remember, it has to be insulting owe If you can't think of one, you can have me come up with one for them).
And please, if you see that one person's being fought alot (aside from Labrys, I think every character fights her at the end), please try to pick different people. Remember, you can go against OCs too! The only one you can't fight is Elizabeth, for obvious reasons~
NO MORE PICKING AKIHIKO! D; You guys are abusing the poor guy too much xD
I was going by the number of opponents you face off against in the Arcade mode, but I believe you only fight 4 or 5 people in the actual Story mode. When I found out, I'll have you decide which ones you want to keep.

Although she wasn't sure how, the fight ends before either of them could win. She decides to continue her 'Investigation'.

Story: While practicing some of his own skills in the ring for his second year of Yasogami High, he overheard some of his clubmates mention something about a fighting program, as well as being ectastic that their captain was in it. He raised an eyebrow at this, and when he was walking by the Dojima residence, he sees Yu, but decides to keep it quiet until he knows further what kind of program is on; he had a suspicion that it had something to do with the Midnight Channel, and when he saw it, well, let's just say that angry didn't even come close, especially since he made a hole in his wall. As he progresses, he somehow manages to help Labrys find out the truth behind the Grand Prix, as well as develop somewhat of a crush on her. He just better hope Chie doesn't find out!

Weapon: A combat knife, held in an under-hand fashion, however, he still has at least one gauntlet on, as well as a cocky grin.
Fighting Style: Normally, he goes for a strike with his knife, but for more powerful attacks, he utilizes his gauntlet. Y button style attacks have Thanatos do a spartan kick to the opponent, staggering them, while B action has Thanatos bring out his sword and slash madly at his target, a slight chance of silence might be dealt. His instant kill is somewhat brutal, called "Gods of Lightning and Death." At first, Seichi will pummel his enemy with incredibly fast fists, almost like blurs. For a finish, he summons Thanatos in a flamboyant display, and the god roars as he traps his target in one of his coffins and crushes it with several chains wrapping around it.

Arcana: V - Hierophant
Story: She hears about the rumor of the Midnight Channel being back when she gets a call from the others in Inaba, so she tries it at her home in France (several hours later). She goes into the TV to find Teddie and question why he would say such mean things about her and the others (Mostly her).
Opponents: Teddie, Chie, Yu, Kanji, Mitsuru, Seichi, Akihiko, Erin, Shadow Labrys
Weapon: Crossbow
Fighting Style: Her ranged attacks will fire bolts, but at close-range, she can swing her crossbow like a small axe.
