Comment on Broken Seal

    Your first question, yes absolutely you will learn the name of Yoichi's persona. (Also the phrase I used was benevolent dragons. But divine dragons does sound pretty cool.)

    For your second question, my belief is that picaro variants are only picaro with Joker, they are the same persona, just their form changed to show that they have truly bonded with the Trickster. (On an unrelated note, I believe that canonically Tricksters are the only people who can uses other peoples true persona's, why? Because their powers defy fate.)

    And to answer your last question. We know the current location of all the persona 3 persona's, while the persona 4 persona's are either wandering the sea of souls, or watching over the TV world and Inaba with Izanagi. The persona 4 arena persona's, I can't talk about Ariadne because that's important to the plot. But Tsukuyomi, well he is being used by someone. Anymore than that would be spoilers. ;)

    And finally we have the persona 5 persona's. We know where Loki, Diego and Satanael are due to story purposes. I can't talk about Al Azif because that would be spoilers, however the rest of the cast I can talk about. Adam Kadmon, and Ella help out in the abyss, think of them like aids to Satanael, keeping the place in harmony when Satanael is dealing with other problems in the abyss. Célestine, and William, search the sea of souls for Al Azif. While Lucy, Agnes, and Gorokichi wander the sea of souls, haven given up on finding Al Azif there a long time ago. And finally Raoul, (who should have been a fucking unlockble in the game and not DLC.) Is watching a very interesting person form the sea of souls. (Raoul is still Joker's thrid awakening, but he exists separately from Satanael, kind of like Orpheus and Messiah exist separately.)

    That should be everything, that was extremely fun to put together, making side lore on Broken Seal is a lot of fun. (That is a not so subtle hint that I would enjoy answering more non spoiler questions for you.)

              Ooooooohhhhhh, my dog! In 'Dost Thou Even Steal Hearts?' Compress is canonically Arsène's descendant. Will this change Monoma's Persona or is he just a person Raoul finds interesting?

                Can't tell you that, it's a spoiler now.

                Also while Compress isn't a descendant of Arsene in this fic, Raoul still finds his style very akin to his own, so he likes him simple as that.

                  Do you have an idea on what The Reaper actually is? I personally believe it's humanity's fear, like Yaldy and Erebus being things from humanity's minds. But The Reaper is literally every fear humanity has in one being, which is why it can be killed multiple times, it's the characters conquering fear but not destroying it.

                    I completely agree with you on that, the Reaper is supposed to be a very fearful creature so It would make sense that it would be humanities fears.

                      What exactly is the abyss? Did it exist before Satanael showed up or was it always there? Is The Reaper trapped there or not? Will it (The Reaper) ever show up?

                        I think I've said this before, the abyss is basically hell for persona and shadows. If a persona or shadow does something to mess with the flow of the world, or bend the shadow world to their will their sent to the abyss so they can never do that again. Also the abyss is always present, many persona's a shadows have claimed control over it, over the spend of it's existence. Those being Nyx, Chaos, Lucifer, Satan, Hades, and others as well. Satanael is just the current ruler. Also the Reaper isn't trapped in the Abyss, the Abyss is just it's home whenever their is no manifestation of the shadow world in the world. Also Reaper may or may not show up in the series, and if it does it will probably only be a single line, the reaper isn't very important to this story.

                          Are Yaldabaoth and Erebus in there or are they actually dead? And assuming Marie and Izanami are seperate beings (I'm personally not sure as my smooth brain can't tell if they remerged or not) is Izanami there?

                            Yaldabaoth is down there. However Erebus doesn't exist in any of my stories, period. I don't particularly like the answer. And Izanani and Marie are the same person, that's how I've aways thought it would go after I finshed persona 4.

                              What's Robin Hood/Hereward up to? I assume that they're all seperate since Hereward is a fusion of Robin and Loki and they both already existed as seperate personas.

                                Hereward just wanders the sea of souls. At least for now.

                                  Will Bakugo get a true Persona? It's obvious that Chaos was just using him and wasn't his real one.

                                    No. Bakugo will not be getting a persona, in fact his importance in the story is basically over once arc 2 wraps up.

                                      Any idea on what it would have been?

                                        Honestly no idea. A good choice would gods of fire, and maybe even wrathful dragons from mythology. Though his true persona is beyond me. I little have zero idea what it could be other than a general idea.

                                          I want to say Fafnir, Ares or Kagatsuchi but those already exist. Maybe Tartaros as Bakugo was being 'ruled' by Chaos and had Magatsu-Izanagi trapped in him. Or even Nemisis, the personification of revenge.

                                            I think the first three fit well, Ares the best out of all of them. Ares however is more normal Bakugo, from my perspective at least. While the other two would be good natural follow ups to this story instead of normal Bakugo.

                                            I would say they are pretty great choices.

                                              Also, in 'Dost Thou Even Steal Hearts?' the creator made a second work in the series made entirely of crack one-shots and a chapter entirely made up of Joker's current Persona stock, their skills and all his current confidants, maybe you could do something similar? https://archiveofourown.info/works/26674753/chapters/93548959

                                                I can do something like that for Minako and Aigis, and listing people's arcana would be important, I'll have get started on that soon.

                                                  I can write the format for you if you want, while you figure out their skills?
