February AU and Plotting Workshop

[phantommods]

Welcome to the February AU and Plotting Workshop for Phantom Thieves International! This post is intended to help incoming players plot their AU and figure out who their characters are in this setting and where they want to go, as well as for current players to come up with plots and things they want to accomplish with their character. This is completely optional but players are encouraged to use this post to both establish pre-existing CR and goals for their characters, as well as plan ahead.

Player Name: Chrissy
Character Name: Takamichi Sanzenin
Original Canon: I-chu

AU Role: Operator
AU Species: Human
Game Accomplishments/AU History Blurb: Absolutely nothing, I just got into this game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, Takamichi's application can be found here, but let's go over some interesting points about him and what's he up to:

● Takamichi is a 25 year old young man from Japan, the son of a wealthy business man and he is an idol in the making with the unit Lancelot
● His older sister is a very successful international fashion designer named Hibari Sanezenin, who went missing during a business trip to LA. Her disappearance is heavily hinted that someone is trying to bring down the Sanezenin family.
● Takamichi awoken his Persona when he got dragged into a Palace after confronting a stranger paying a private investigator bribe money to keep quiet about the family and was saved by an unknown Phantom Thief.
● To avoid putting his family and friends at risk, his idol unit went on hiatus and he move to Los Angeles with some belongings along with a set amount of money for emergencies.
● Right now, he works at a bar near his apartment that is run by an old family friend to "give him something to do" along with doing his work with the Phantom Thieves.

Plots of Interest: I am honestly open to anything and everything as this is a shiny new character in the works here! Takamichi still does not know the Phantom Thief that saved him back in Japan, so that position is very open for a Phantom Thief that somehow took another turn in Mementos and ended up in the Palace of the stranger that almost took Takamichi's life and did a quick rescue mission.

I also would like him to meet with people who know/would know of his sister's international fame and fashion brand so he can bring awareness to those in the Phantom Thief network that she is missing without drawing too much attention overseas. The news of her disappearance is very large in Japan while somewhat quiet in America.

CR Hopes: Takamichi is a shy person at heart, so getting started on making some friends wouldn't hurt so he can feel comfortable. He would mesh well with people around his age, but he would certainly support the younger Phantom Thieves to the best of his ability.

Since he is a growing idol, fans are certainly possible! Lancelot is a group that is known to play jazz and jazz rock related music. They are still getting started in Japan, but currently on hiatus for "personal reasons".

Friends, negative CR, pre-established CR, I am open to many ideas!

Well, Ky and Takamichi are close in age, and while missing persons is not his position, he may try to help once he's aware of the situation, especially if Ky is a regular at said bar.

Sinbad might be interesting on thief-terms, as he's an angry little brat who in the AU is music-inclined, but metal.

I'm totally down with bar regulars as Takamichi would remember faces easily with repeat customers. And once he learns Ky a bit more, he can try to ask him to keep an eye out for anything about his sister.

Metal may not be a top taste for Taka, but hey, him and Sinbad still might work well in the Thief field.
