❤ voice test post

[heartcontrol]

hey guys it's ya girl len here with a open voice-testing post (please save me) for akira kurusu / ren amamiya (shrugs at protag names) from persona 5. . . except that he's from the "good" ending where he sells his soul (okay not Literally Sell His Soul, but close enough) to the god of control, yaldabaoth so that he can save the world from ruin and make the phantom thieves great again aka selfish justice and desires. yeah, that's a thing.

anyway, a few things to note about this iteration:

• he's very much the same guy in some ways. he plays up the quiet an unassuming act, but will act cocky and confident as Joker
  
• but the changes are pretty drastic. he's a lot more self-centered about his goals and cares more about personal justice > what's Actually Right
  
• he also doesn't really give a flying shit about other people, but he'll pretend he does
  
• while he doesn't murder people because Phantom Thief Creed, he absolutely would murder a guy if he was given the option to because nobody would give a shit?? he's in control now
  
• HAREM ROUTE because he's that kind of asshole
  
• all of his personas are Broken and OP as hell because again That Kind of Asshole, but he does not have his endgame persona, satanael
  
• literally fused away arsene the first chance he got, sorry buddy
  
• he actually fought both sae and akechi solo.
  
• he maxed out everyone's confidants. he also has max stats, including kindness?? even though his real personality is that he's a dick?
  
• only half cared that akechi died. he's just Disappointed that he doesn't have a ~rival~ anymore. phantom thieves need rivals, damn it
  
• will make a Deal with practically anyone if it means that he benefits off of it.
  
• gets Bored real fucking easily now. he'll still shitpost and stuff but it's not as fun anymore???


and that's basically it. i'm willing to play this version against other Akira/Rens (honestly, give me doubles, I LOVE THAT SHIT) and various other Persona users, whether they're from different games or different timelines of P5 (look, seriously, give me True Ending P5 members) too or AUs? come at me, i'm ripped.

as for scenarios, i'm willing to do stuff with mementos or having him go into palaces although honestly i can work with people making an Attempt to go into ren's palace too since he'd probably have one now, although it's definitely not gonna be Easy. and i can go w/ text posts (i.e. tfln or whatever) but if you're especially stuck? have some prompt ideas below this. (but you don't need to use those if you'd prefer something else) i'm here for you, fam.

♠️ GEN PROMPTS.

• random scenario
  
• hurt/comfort
  
• murdergame au (let him be a mastermind!! or participate in a murdergame, i'm good w/ either)
  
• groundhog day / timeloops
  
• picture prompt
  
• hypnotism meme
  
• rainy day

[nevertheless, Akira doesn't seem to be significantly bothered by the look in her eyes; after all, it's something all too familiar for him. a look that he can only see in the mirror nowadays.

lips curve into what seems to be a rather cheeky grin, his eyes lighting up with what seems to be excitement.]

Then why don't you tell me what exactly that evidence is, Miss Detective?

[intattribute]

It all begins with the Kamoshida incident. I did some digging around and noticed that the timing between your transfer to Shujin Academy along with the birth of the Phantom Thieves was rather close. It was almost too convenient to ignore.

[It's been a long time since she felt a certain fire burning in her heart. She cracks a smile that could mirror his own. If he wants to try and cut her series of hypotheses down, then she was prepared.]

Plus a bunch of thieves debuting at such a small school? One would expect them to start off by robbing a museum to show off their skills.

[heartcontrol]

[he feels like he's walking on eggshells here; he has to take careful note not to say anything that would set her off. if she's considering herself a detective, she might actually throw him under the bus and he does not want that in the slightest bit.

his smile does not fade, however.]

Just a mere coincidence.

[not actually, but okay, Akira, you do you]

Well, they did call themselves The Phantom Thieves of hearts, not treasure. Stealing from a museum wouldn't live up to their name. Is that all?

[he asks, his tone lighthearted as if daring her to rip apart all the lies and reveal the truth]

[intattribute]

Actually... My next point does relate to treasure of a sort. Art just so happens to be a treasure for everyone.

[Haru still speaks with a firm and uncompromising tone. Her intentions was something that she'd reveal eventually.]

Madarame Ichiryusai was the next target of the Phantom Thieves. I had heard rumors that he was a shady dude from personal connections, but I didn't expect him to cough up his crimes on public television.

Considering that he had plenty of disciples who worked under him... How come Kitagawa Yusuke hangs around you at times?

[heartcontrol]

We're friends. [he says those words smoothly, even though he actually doesn't believe it. but nobody needs to know that. this is a dangerous spot, however, so he'll elaborate:] Myself, Ryuji and Ann ran into him one day and he wanted to draw Ann. We became friends from there. [which is pretty much the truth, actually, so it makes it pretty easy for him to say]

[intattribute]

Hmm... Maybe I should open services to be someone's friend for a day.

[Lord knows if she was being serious with that comment or not. Haru was just a weird gal.]

Have you read of Kaneshiro Junya? He was a mafia boss that not even the police could touch. Somehow, someway... The Phantom Thieves managed to nail him down too.

[heartcontrol]

If you did, I would take you up on that offer, Usami Haru-san. [in spite of how nonchalant he seems to be taking things, he sure seems to be polite!] I heard about them from some of my classmates who were having troubles with him. [that's an easy one to brush off, to say the least] If the Phantom Thieves managed that, they really are amazing.
