IN-DEPTH: Link to wiki Silent protagonist of the Persona 3 game who is also the wildcard, the hero with the ability to summon multiple personas. Joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES) to solve the mysteries of Tartarus and the Dark Hour by night while also being a normal student by day. Comes with a fantastic soundtrack PERSONALITY IN-DEPTH: Link More detailsFirst Impression: A comfortable loner - Indeed, when one meets Minato for the first time, he is quiet, subdued and doesn't really speak unless spoken to (this is something isn't just because he's a silent protag with dialogue options, this is much the same in both the manga and movie adaptations as well). He is also seen as aloof and indifferent, even around death such as when we first meet him during the Dark Hour and when guns (although fake) were pointed at him. This is in large due to the traumatic event that happened ten years ago as he and his parents were involved in a horrific car crash that left him a orphan. Watching your parents die can have that effect on you. Also, because a lot of his dialogue options in beginning are very short answers (Yes, No, Whatever), he can come off as unintentionally rude or mean. Introverted, but Sociable: Many comment that he seems to be introverted and reserved, in large due to the above loner status. However, his Social Links prove that when he wants to, he can be very sociable. While he still doesn't do much of the talking, he is very content with listening to the friends he makes. He likes hanging out, going to karaoke, playing at the arcade, seeing movies, even talking to an old couple at a bookstore or playing with a little girl at the jungle gym. Unlike future protagonists, most of his Social Links come from those not within his immediate SEES group (the girls aside, anyway). Minato manages to befriend several kinds of people throughout his year at Gekkoukan High, growing their bonds that eventually allow him to perform the eventual Great Seal that would not only take his life, but save humanity. Kind and Engaging: While not at first, Minato does grow into a very kind individual. It wasn't so much that he was mean, but he did come off as cold and even a little rude based on the dialogue options given in the beginning. But, over time, those change to something kinder and more thoughtful. This is especially seen not just in the main plot of the story but in those Social Links I mentioned above. Helping an old couple at the bookstore move on from their son's death and the mark he made at the school (a persimmon tree that was threatened to be cut down) to a former monk who became an alcoholic and had previously abandoned his family but now learns to take ownership and apologize for his actions, even coming to care for the protagonist like a son. He even helps a little girl deal with her parent's divorce, learning to cope and accept that her parents still love her but they need their time apart from each other. Minato engages with those around him, changing them for the better and even himself. Apathetic and Unfazed: As mentioned previously, his loner and introversion was in part due to the trauma of his past. This has also left him to act somewhat apathetic and unfazed but many things. It has led others to believe that he was (sarcastically) "Mr. Perfect" and that he will largely do what others ask of him (taking the leader position of the SEES group readily) and he isn't very concerned for his own well-being. It isn't really that he doesn't fear death, it's that he's apathetic towards it. It is what it is and he doesn't seem to care what happens to him. At least initially in the beginning the story and as he grows closer to both the SEES and his Social Links, he learns to move past his apathy toward death and to actually care what happens to himself. However... Protective: The above only applies to himself. When it comes to his friends, that's another matter entirely and he will protect them as best as he can. No one should suffer the same fate of his parents. As he grows closer to his friends, the fear of death grows and his apathy diminishes as the will to live grows within and he can't stand the thought of losing his friends. It's this protective streak that lends to him making the final decision to sacrifice himself and accept his fate, take responsibility for the choices that he makes as per his contract that he signed in the very beginning. Miscellaneous: Honestly, this is just for the small quirks that he has, nothing specific that needs a giant explanation but I found amusing enough to add in. Minato is known for his somewhat sleepy/drowsy kind of attitude as evidenced by the option to sleep in class and in the manga where he's tired or sleepy a lot. He also seems to have a dark sense of humor as one of the dialogue options at one point lets you tell a morgue joke. He also has a rather hilariously large appetite as often seen in the manga where he has a giant soda and even larger hamburger at Wild Duck Burger. Can make accurate fox sounds, rap, and has an amazing singing voice. His artwork is questionable despite being in the art club. QUIRK IN-DEPTH: Values death a bit more highly, rather than being apathetic toward it. ABILITIES WEAPONS: A Grecian sword. STYLE: Specializes in using a one-handed sword, however he is adaptable and is capable of adopting various styles of weapons and melee abilities largely because of his friends. He learns quick. SKILLS:
STRENGTHS: Adaptable and quick WEAKNESSES: Not particularly strong and doesn't always show his emotions ELEMENTS: Shadows HOUSING OPTIONAL!
