codenamenightfall: (Evoker on standby.)
Ryoji is a prototype Anti-Shadow Weapon. He's not completely robotic like Aigis and Labrys, but his chest, legs, left arm, and part of his right arm are completely metal. This makes him a bit sturdier than most, and increases his athletic abilities. He's not insanely strong (unlike Emperor, Nightfall was not designed as a brawler), but he still is well above the strength and stamina of a regular human. He is quite quick on his feet as well, and has the grace of an acrobat... albeit an acrobat made of metal.

His eyesight and hearing are greatly enhanced, and his mind processes and stores data easily. He also has built-in wifi... though Mitsuru is sure to disable that come exam time. Spoilsport.

He currently has weaponry in the form of miniature guns built into his right hand's fingers, a retractable scythe easily removed from a slot on his back, and the Persona Thanatos, which, of course, has the same skill set that Minato's Thanatos had.

The Kirijo Group is always working on upgrades, however, and Ryoji is all to eager to suggest ways that he can be improved... so keep an eye on him. He may show up with laser eyes that won't turn themselves off.

The final thing of note about Ryoji is, though repressed, his alternate AI, Nightfall, still exists inside of him, and may take over when Ryoji feels scared or threatened. Here, his abilities are increased drastically, and are quickly initialized by Nightfall, who, unlike Ryoji, knows how to use the weapons and has no qualms about attacking others. His emotions and personality are extremely dampened, and he takes orders from whoever he considers to be his superior... usually someone from the Kirijo Group, but others could potentially alter his programming so he sees them as one as well. It takes him quite a while to snap out of this, so hopefully he can be avoided until something triggers his memories and awakens Ryoji, or until his batteries run dead.

This Ryoji comes from the male route of Persona 3, and follows the regular timeline of the Persona 3 game up until he is sealed away thanks to Minato. From there, his future changes slightly, and the beginning of his new life is played out in this thread.

Simply put, the Kirijo Group decides to bring him back, with some robotic parts, as an Anti-Shadow Weapon. He awakes inside the laboratory and discovers another prototype, one Kanji Tatsumi, and together they attempt to find a way to escape. Of course, once they attempt to, things go terribly wrong. Programming starts taking control, and the weapon part of Ryoji, known as Nightfall, takes over. The scientists try to get Ryoji and Kanji to fight each other, as Labrys and her siblings were forced to, though Kanji eventually manages to escape. Ryoji is repaired after the battle and partially reprogrammed, but just before his consciousness is completely wiped from his database, Kanji triggers the alarms as he makes it outside, and so Ryoji is rebooted and instructed to take down the faulty prototype.

He tracks him down and fights one last time, but Kanji beats some sense into him, and they both manage to escape. Wandering around the city they've found themselves in, Ryoji quickly realizes that he's back on Tatsumi Port Island again, and leads Kanji to the old dormitory. The thread ends here while they attempt to find Ryoji's old friends.

Thankfully, they manage to get a hold of Mitsuru not long after, and she comes to meet with them. When she hears of the terrible experiments being done on the half-dead test subjects chosen to have their bodies reinforced with metal as they become weapons, she of course takes it on herself to make things right. After getting proper scientists to reprogram them and remove the alter-egos of Nightfall and Emperor (or mostly remove them...), she allows them to live in the old dormitory, and enrolls them in Gekkoukan High School. Both of their school records are fabricated to protect their secrets (it would be dangerous should the news that the two of them were supposed to be dead leaked out, after all), and they both get the chance to start a normal life...

Of course, with the various upgrades to weaponry, it's only a matter of time before the boys get antsy and find some Shadows to beat up.
