Lenoir | Epiphany

Location

Tucked away down a side street, hidden among Epiphany's hustle and bustle, is a cafΓ© that's gaining something of a reputation among the locals. Advertising itself as independent and Star Child-owned, Lenoir prides itself on its high quality coffee, aiming to bring the best possible beans to Folkmore. They also sell an assortment of baked goods as well as a rotating curry-of-the-month. The walls are adorned with work from local artists - spirit and Star Child alike - and the speakers gently pump in softly played jazz music.

Menu

House Blend
Medium roast. Smooth and complex, goes great with milk or on its own. Mellow and complex with flavors of cedar, apricot, marzipan, milk chocolate and nutmeg.

Latte
A single shot of espresso with steamed milk. Creamy and mild.

Cappuccino
A single shot of espresso with steamed milk topped with milk foam, cinnamon, and cocoa powder.

Mocha
A single shot of espresso added to a hot chocolate topped with milk foam, cocoa powder, and chocolate shavings.

FrappΓ©
A single shot of espresso with foamed milk and ice.

Affogato
Vanilla gelato topped with a shot of espresso.

The Challenge

On the menu, there is also a box promising anyone brave and skilled enough to complete The Challenge a free plate of curry. What is The Challenge, you ask? In basement of the cafe, there is an obstacle course right out of Mission Impossible, complete with "lasers" (actually just lights that will change color and loudly buzz if anyone touches them) blocking off a glass case containing a recipe used in the cafΓ© - it could be either a drink, a pastry, or curry depending on the day and the owner's mood. There are no restrictions or rules for what patrons are allowed to do or use to get at the recipe. There is, however, a time limit of 25 minutes.

Anyone who manages to complete The Challenge and successfully steals the recipe from its case without triggering the alarm gets to keep the recipe in addition to the plate of free food they'll be rewarded with when they return upstairs.

The owner will be keeping a very close eye on anyone who manages to complete The Challenge.

Abilities
wildcard
Thanks to his insane level of willpower, Ren is more or less equivalent to a D&D style Warlock - he has entered into a contact with Igor (...well...) which lets him use any Persona he can fuse, and switch between them at will. Each of these Persona will give Ren different stats, weaknesses, and strengths.
third eye
Ren can see weak/breakable structural elements, valuable stuff, and the relative strength of enemies in his minds' eye.
Role
Ren can turn into a black rex rat, sometimes with a little mask. He's equally acrobatic as a rat as he is as a human, with terrific jumping skills despite his small size. It allows him to squeeze into much tighter, smaller spaces than he typically can, which is a boon mostly only to him.

Naturally there are also downsides. He cannot talk while transformed; he just makes the average rat squeaking noise when he tries. He's also slower and unable to do things like open doors, with perhaps the exception of an especially loose door handle and a bunch of climbable boxes stacked near it.

Ren used to need adrenaline to fuel the transformation, but he quickly got the hang of it and can switch - and maybe more importantly, switch back - with relative ease.

Canon Abilities:
πŸƒ Wildcard: Thanks to his insane level of willpower, Ren is more or less equivalent to a D&D style Warlock - he has entered into a contact with Igor (...well...) which lets him use any Persona he can fuse, and switch between them at will. Each of these Persona will give Ren different stats, weaknesses, and strengths. I'm going to have Ren join the game with one Persona (Arsene, at level 25) and buy others with spoons down the line when I decide... Who else I want him to have, honestly lol.
    πŸ—‘️ Arsene - deals Curse (Dark) damage, is weak to Ice and Bless (Light) damage.
πŸƒ Third Eye: Ren can see weak/breakable structural elements, valuable stuff, and the relative strength of enemies in his minds' eye.
Role: Familiar
Role Qualities/Attributes: Ren will be able to turn into a black Rex rat, sometimes with a little mask.
Role Reasoning: Ren is extremely adaptable. As the protag of a Persona game, the entire shtick is that he wears many masks and can get on with anyone and adapt to any person or situation that comes his way. He decidedly does not have clear-cut morals; he becomes a thief to help others, despite the potential threat that Kamoshida might die from stealing his heart and making him fess up to his (awful, awful) crimes: It's a worthwhile risk to potentially become a murderer if it helps people. It's worth it to stop a woman from getting hurt even if it means going to jail himself and sacrificing his reputation. Furthermore, as a Wildcard, Ren's strength is in his bonds with others; getting to dedicate to Legends and Myths would scratch his back Persona-wise (they are powered up when he attains a stronger bond with the right person) as much as it would help someone else.

β₯ Personality

Please choose one of the follow options for your personality section. Please clarify which option you have picked and, if option 2, which questions you are answering:

Option 2. Choose FOUR-FIVE of the following questions to answer and expand upon. You may choose a fifth question if you feel it is integral to your character's personality. Each answer has a 100-300 word requirement.


OPTION 2 QUESTIONS (PICK 4-5) 100-300 WORD LIMIT EACH:

  • What experience challenged your character's core beliefs? How did they handle this or change from it?
    Getting arrested rocked Ren to his core. While he's a good person doing something he clearly sees as good, in the eyes of society and the law, he totally assaulted a guy who wasn't doing anything wrong. Prior to that, he was probably a good, law-abiding citizen who never got into trouble doing anything, though we don't really know what he was like before that. After, he turned into a little rebellious shit, partially from realizing he can do good and help people in a better way by stepping outside of society's guidelines, but also partially because every adult in his life at the beginning of his probation treats him like garbage. Why not cause havoc at that point? Why not break the law to do the right thing? Because, after all, it seems like it's the only way anything gets done.

  • What is a headcanon (or two) you feel strongly about and that you prefer playing your character with? How is this supported in canon and why do you think it benefits the character's story?
    Like all Persona protagonists, he is actually bisexual. While, yes, Ren Amamiya likes girls (and, trust me, there is enough going on in the main game to support that part, lmao), he also decidedly doesn't fear male intimacy either. Ryuji kind of exists as his foil in that regard, as someone who's quick to be skeeved out by the idea of two dudes kissing. Yusuke, as the local artist of the group, also exists in that Foil To Ryuji realm because of his casual approach to nudity (saying again, he's an artist, he's used to figure drawing). Yusuke gets plenty of hints he's a bit of a πŸ’πŸ“πŸŽ from dialogue and the like, but because Ren's a silent, malleable protagonist, we don't get to see quite that obvious of an indication from him, but nonetheless, he's clearly comfortable with the idea based on some dialogue options. For Valentine's Day, if he doesn't have a girl to hang out with, he asks Ryuji to hang out instead, which Ryuji gets very huffy about, but nonetheless.

  • What is your character's moral code? Do they have one? Why or why not?
    While he does have a moral code, it doesn't align with Adult Societyℒ️ super well. He's not the type to sit down and shut up; Ren's going to stand up and scream. His tendency to stand up against injustice and unfairness, despite the risks to himself, shows that he clearly has a strong moral code, it's just different from the average law abiding citizen's. Ren thoroughly understands he's breaking the law, but doesn't really care because he also thoroughly understands he's doing the right thing. To put him on a D&D scale: Ren's Chaotic Neutral, leaning Chaotic Good; he's into freedom and individuality, and is more than happy to break laws if it means helping others.

  • If your character could change one thing about their past, what would it be and why? Or why not?
    Ren wouldn't change a thing. It's so easy to say that he'd obviously not stop to help that woman being bothered on the street which resulted in that politician getting hurt and getting himself arrested... But the fact is, he just wouldn't. During Arsene's initial summoning, he's asked if it was a foolish choice to help her. The player has the choice of arguing or admitting that maybe it was a mistake; mine argued. Also, one of Igor's tenants of the Velvet Room makes it clear that Ren's rehabilitation involves him taking responsibility for his actions, a thing that remains consistent through the other Persona games as well. Ren simply wouldn't be a very good Wildcard if he was willing to change his prior gut instincts.

    Confidants

    Goro Akechi
    ARCANA Justice
    10Rank
    MAX β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯β™₯
    The Sherlock to his Moriarty, the Sholmès to his Lupin. Ren feels an undeniable, practically magnetic attraction to Akechi. His attraction easily turned into obsession. Perhaps even more so, now that there's no reason for Akechi to keep his persona of the Detective Prince going. Ren has this fantasy that he'll convince Akechi to fall to the dark side, become a Phantom Thief in his own right, but deep down he understands that it is far more likely he will end up corrupted by Akechi than the other way around. But Ren is more than happy to do anything Akechi might ask him to, more than happy to keep up their rivalry and their constant competitions, and in return Ren is determined to convince Akechi to stay in Folkmore, with him. Even after the horrible betrayals and lies upon lies, Ren's completely smitten through the fear that Akechi might decide he looks better with a bullet in his head.
    Mai Taniyama
    ARCANA Death
    3Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Mai's got a good head on her shoulders and is undeniably a good person. Ren would almost feel bad for getting this one to join their ranks if not for the fact that she's clearly making her own choice here. ...Plus, selfishly, he likes having someone with a Persona who is less skilled than he currently is. Helps remind Ren that he's the leader here. Her experience with the supernatural will undoubtedly come in handy in a place like this. Mai's sharp sense of things and the fact that she's Akechi's neighbor make it a bit harder to keep their little trysts a secret. But Ren's just not thinking about the fact that she's definitely heard things at this point.
    Ryuji Sakamoto
    ARCANA Chariot
    9Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    The man, the myth, the best friend: Ryuji Sakamoto. They've been together since the beginning of all this, and Ren knows he'd never be able to finish the Phantom Thieves' mission without Ryuji. Even if his big mouth did just very nearly gets them all in huge trouble, that was part of Ryuji's charm, first of all, and secondly it all works out in the end anyway. It's weird having his punk-ass blond friend know more about all this than he does, but Ren's getting used to it. He's even used to Ryuji-senpai dolling out some decent advice now and then, which Ren stupidly listens to like it's good advice. If nothing else, he trusts Ryuji genuinely has his best interests at heart, and knows he won't get charmed by Akechi to the point it causes a lapse in judgement.
    Minato Arisato
    ARCANA Fool
    3Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    How do you do, fellow wildcard? There's something decidedly off about the way Minato's described Igor and the Velvet Room compared to Ren's experiences, but he figures that's Probably Nothingβ„’. The process for summoning magical demon things is bound to change over the years; it's natural. But there's something weird about this that Ren can't quite completely shake, no matter how hard he tries. But nonetheless, he undeniably likes Minato and sees him as a valuable asset and sounding board for all things Persona-related. The fact that Minato likes coffee and has agreed to work at Ren's cafΓ© when it opens is an additional boon.
    Shinjiro Aragaki
    ARCANA Hierophant
    2Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Ren owes Shinjiro big time for taking care of his doped-up ass when he got back from his interrogation. He is horrifically embarrassed about it.
    Rowena MacLeod
    ARCANA Priestess
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Took care of Ren's plants (and Akechi's sanity) while he was gone.
    Casey Jones
    ARCANA Temperance
    3Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Casey's a good kid who's been through a lot, too much really, and Ren is going to try his hardest to not fuck him up more and get him involved in the larceny like he tends to do. But he's more than happy to have a taste tester for his curry experiments, at least, and that of all things shouldn't lead to too many dark places. ...Probably. He trusts Casey, at any rate, more than most of the other people he's met while he's been here, enough to talk about the Thieves and his Persona.
    Sumire Yoshizawa
    ARCANA Faith
    7Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Kasum- Err, Sumire is quite the change from the version of her he knows back home. ...And yet, at the same time, isn't at all different. She's still sweet and earnest and the best damn gymnast Ren's probably ever going to meet. The fact that she's able (and willing) to protect him now is new, but not unappreciated. Plus, he likes having a neighbor around. Even if she does knock on his door entirely too early to go out and do stretches by the lakes some mornings, he really likes her and values her opinion.
    Delloso de la Rue
    ARCANA Empress
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Ren can't help but trust Rue. Even as suspicious as he is of adults, he can tell they're a good person who means well. Their love of Casey comes across plainly, and after all the shit Ren's seen adults do at this point, it gives him hope that maybe not every adult is a rotten piece of shit.
    Arthur Harrow
    ARCANA Devil
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Unfortunately for everyone, Ren really likes Arthur. Here's an adult who actually understands the need for society to get shaken up. He called Ren's rebellious spirit a gift rather than a curse, and that's about all it takes for a teenager to turn ride or die.
    Bobby Drake
    ARCANA Lovers
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Judges the hell out of his coffee choices, but understands Bobby's hope for a second chance. Ren wonders vaguely if there could be a way to change the public's heart to change their opinion on mutants.
    Lex Adams
    ARCANA Fortune
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Very interesting guy. Ren enjoys talking with Lex and the interesting turns their conversations together take. He wants to find out more about where Lex comes from, but he's willing to be patient.
    Gen Asagiri
    ARCANA Magician
    2Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Clever and full of unique ideas, Asagiri definitely intrigues Ren. His idea for a break-in room at the cafΓ© piqued Ren's interest. It's as much a way of testing Asagiri's talents at making traps as it is a method of recruiting other potential Phantom Thieves. Reminds him a bit of Morgana.
    Bruce Wanye
    ARCANA Moon
    1Rank
    β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    Ren would have immediately hated Bruce and been on a very urgent mission to change his heart had he not met the guy while he was a young child.
