psl wishlist

spoilers alert!!
please don't read these ideas if you would like to avoid persona 5 spoilers!

legend

+ = platonic only
* = ship only
& = can be either platonic or ship

open to all

velvet room attendant au (&)
in which akira is one of igor's attendants with his own variation of "le grimoire," around to help the new wild card. does not have to be based on persona 5 events; this can have its own independent plot. akira can issue requests for certain personas (often with certain skills) and items. the velvet room can take a shape suitable for your character, and the mechanics of fusing personas can shift accordingly. as with the other velvet room attendants before him, if you max confidant with him, who knows, maybe he'll confess something...

castmates only

 day trip (+) | morgana only
just a boy and his cat out on an Adventure. cue akira hanging out with morgana and traveling to different hangout spots so morgana can sample foods while they reflect on things. also: morgana humoring akira and letting akira pet him and rub his ears. can be a generic kind of thread consisting primarily of fluff.

nothing like who we are (&) | haru or goro only
in which circumstances shift, and grief from her father's death drives haru to pursue vengeance, especially when the fake calling card for the shujin principal is presented to her. haru turns against the phantom thieves, marshals her resolve, and takes full control of the okumura businesses with an iron fist, using whatever means she can to destroy the group. the timeline diverges; haru becomes the traitor, acting independently of and before goro in eliminating the phantom thieves. this psl can fall in any direction based on what you'd like; anything goes, whether you want your character struggle and eventually win against their despair, or have a change of heart. this can culminate in akira's death if you feel we can build it in a meaningful way. ideally, though, i'd like some kind of Angst With A Happy Ending scenario, though i can't think of one off the top of my head...

the end of despair (&) | persona 3 protagonist only
where akira, post-p5, eventually winds up recruited by the kirijo group when they learn of his involvement with the metaverse and how the world almost ended another time. even though the metaverse is gone, the influence of shadows ramps up again; unable to summon his persona naturally outside of the metaverse, he joins coworkers in using evokers during investigations. eventually, he independently works his way to the great seal with a temporary countermeasure against erebus, freeing the p3 protagonist. can start right at that moment of release. ideally, this psl would be centered in mutual understanding and interest in each other's past experiences, and maybe helping the p3 protagonist reacclimate to normal living. can also include fun back-to-back badasses fighting where they face off against shadows.

game night (+) | futaba only
in which they just game together. A Lot. it can literally be any game, or them jumping between a number of different ones. ridiculous blatant references to different franchises can be made. also: futaba crushing akira miserably in certain games. can also include moments in-between, like them heading out together to pick up a new console and game for their shenanigans. something lighthearted and silly!

a chance at a new start (&) | goro only
goro survives the shot from his cognitive doppelganger for any number of reasons and manages to return to the real world. akira crosses paths with him again. the aftermath once the dust has begun to settle. probably an angst-filled psl including akira trying to reconcile his grief over goro's death with the significance of goro's crimes, and what it means that goro is back.

a mirror right in front of me (+) | akira/ren only
some kind of twins AU. i don't know why i want to rp this but i do.

an empty glass (&) | akira/ren only
in which protagonists from different timelines cross paths somehow, just because i'd love to see what kind of dynamic my interpretation of akira might have against another. if you rp an akira/ren, i will likely try to adapt my interpretation to something that might contrast against yours in an interesting way, e.g. i might attempt to write a bad!ending version if yours is coming from after the true ending.
