The boy goes to Gekkoukan High, as he can be seen often sporting the symbolic school uniform they use. His little personal accent to the uniform is a lime green ascot he keeps on during school hours. If seen during a day off, or later in the evening, he can usually be seen wearing what consists of a pair of baggy black carpenters (not to be confused with 'gangster style' pants half clinging to your thighs.) He has dropped the Polo style he has once been seen with, for a black an gold buttondown ensemble, usually with a white undershirt. Sometimes he is seen wearing his Karate Gi, which is mostly a traditional style in form. Made from heavy canvas, black is the main color, with underlying cerulean borders along the seams. As for shoes, he seems to have a preference for basketball styled ones, believing they help the most, having good maneuverability when using martial arts, or better yet, kicking faces in.

Accessories Yoh can be seen with only consist of a military time watch that also displays the date and other important chronological information, being gold in color, a gold band with an onyx gemstone within, and a stylish, sterling silver dragonhead necklace.

Sometime in 1998, Around the time Yoh was 6, his father wrote a series of papers discussing and theorizing about the average human Ego. Later that year he was approached by a small group of colleagues who said they were researchers from an important research team, the Kirijo Group. They offered him a position among the group performing research on the psyche of the human mind. They made a very generous offer, seeing the father's potential. He was rather skeptical, but as no other alternatives were present, as well as the destitute position his family was in, he had to take it. Because of his choice, his family now was going to have a good life for the next year and a half, Yoh's family was one of the happiest ever. He became quite prestigious in his field rather quickly, and the boy's mother quit her career to take care of little Yoh full time. Unfortunately, even good causes sometimes have bad effects. Later in the year 1999, The boy's father became.... distant. Something happened that seemed to shake a man known for his commandeering presence and serenity. When inquired he would refuse to mention anything about his work for a time, muttering equations and hypotheses under his breath for long periods of time. Yoh and his mother tried their best to make the best of the time they had with him, being as work had been called off due to unexplained reasons, but he acted as if he was elsewhere the entire time, as if he had something on his mind that was unfathomable. After that point, Yoh and his mother almost never saw him anymore. Even though his job was never reinstated, he left for large lengths of time, going somewhere he refused to talk about. When asked he would never give a straight answer. He would only say things like "It is important." or "It is something I have to do.". They tried getting him to quit, to no avail. The nights he was home were restless, with him having horrific nightmares, and waking up screaming. Slowly, they saw less and less of him, until one day, they no longer saw him anymore.

November 23rd,, 2000. Yoh's father vanished.

The family, the father's friends, and his colleagues were devastated. They had all known him as kind, caring person. Everyone had feared the worst. The boy's mother launched all sorts of investigations to try and locate him. Sadly, after three months with no leads, he was declared deceased. The family left was deeply saddened, and Yoh went into a deep depression for a long time, secluding himself to his room, only ever coming out for school and food. A a few more months after his father was declared dead, his sadness and fear of being alone in the world began to coalesce into hate. He began to become a troubled child, taking out the anger of his father dying on those around him, causing mischief, picking on the weak, and hurting those who opposed his anger. There were many people he hurt, and things destroyed during this long fit of rage. Many places banned him from returning, and he and his mother were shunned by most. He had truly become what he had hated the most in life.

Thankfully, this was not to last. Early in 2005, While salvaging what was left in their abandoned facility, Yoh's father's colleagues found a hidden room containing documentation that was unknown to them. It seemed to involve Yoh's father, and were shocked at what it seemed to contain. After deciphering the documents, they came to the Yamagatani estate as soon as possible to pass the transcript on. Upon handing over the papers, the torn family immediately read it. Enclosed it mentions meetings of a group of people several times, sometimes involving much travel. That would explain the long times away from the house, but there was something more that shocked Yoh and his mother. Some of the documents were clearly dated past the time that his father was labeled dead.

He realized that this could mean that his father may yet still be alive! His heart instantly jumped for joy at the thought. The boy and mother's hopes were renewed, as the thought of his family being together once more sounded like a dream that may come true. As time passed, he began to become more caring after that day, helping those he could, like he knew how is father would. As he became a better person, he set out to repay those he had once hurt, trying his best to spread kindness along the way. Sadly, some of the things he did were unforgivable by some. He had anticipated some would not forgive him, though trying as best he could. For each transgression he performed, for each person he wronged, he vowed that though he could not help them, he would help others a thousand fold, knowing in doing this, wherever his father may be, he would be proud to call him son. To this day, he still helps anyone in need as he goes about his life, as well as finally becoming more social, thanks to his mother's urgings, beginning to take part in extra-curricular activities after school.

Magni is depicted as the son of the Norse god Thor, and the Jotumn Járnsaxa, a giantess. He was a gargantuan demi-god, believed to be an estimated fifteen feet tall, and wielding an extremely large hammer pre-Ragnarok. He was known for representing power, strength, and fearlessness. He plays an important role in a battle between Thor and the giant Hrungnir. Thor defeated the giant utilizing a blow to the head with Mjolnir, the legendary hammer. While Thor killed the giant, it's body fell on him, pinning him to the ground. Thor, nor any other Aesir could move the body. Magni learned of this when he was only three days old, and went out to see him. Once he arrived, he effortlessly moved the corpse off his father, saving his life.

After saving his father, Thor gave Magni Hrungnir's fabled steed, Gold-Mane, also known as Gullfaxi. It was capable of most things supernatural, such as air and water travel, though not quite as fast as Odin's fabled horse of the same bloodline, Slepnir. Odin was rather angered at this fact, and was disappointed in Thor for not giving the horse to his father, rather than his son.

After Ragnarok was to transpire, Magni and his brother, Modi, were to be bequeathed Mjolnir to rebuild the world and all civilization. Magni was believed to be the only god besides Thor himself to be able to use Mjolnir at all.

Yoh's Resonance he puts off varies by which method of detection is used. It could seem like war, or something more calm, though one thing remains the same throughout every detection method. It is powerful, loud, and easily felt. Finding him for even inexperienced detectors and spotters is a piece of cake. Unfortunately there is no way for him to dial it back. Yoh's own detection has its own pros and cons; He has near-spotter level detection, able to feel even the faintest of Resonances, whether hidden or dormant. Unfortunately, his maximum range of detection is about five feet in front of him. So while he has no range at all to feel out for incoming threats, if someone is standing right in front of him, he can easily identify if they have a Resonance or not. Of coruse there are exceptions, like Chidori Yoshino for instance.

Feeling: Yoh's resonance is powerful and direct in nature. The sounds of war seem to abound on both sides. The marching of soldiers, clanging of metal on the bulwarks of the frontlines, and the battlecries of those instilled with the courage of those they care about seem to ring out everywhere. The scent of the air before a storm, and heated steel, fresh from the forge clings to the air faintly. The sounds seem to rise to a culminating point, then dissipate as quickly as they came. The feeling that, even set against impossible odds, to stand and fight for what one believes in with honor, is better than to die a coward.

Sight: Yoh's resonance seems to belay a strong sense of him leading comrades onward to a fight. A crowd may be envisioned behind him, aching for battle. They may be alongside him, or even in front of him. They all appear Norse in appearance, ranging from battled-hardened to simple townsfolk. They are always heading in the direction he is heading, or facing. as well.

Sound: The sound of the hammer hitting the anvil, the sound of toiling near the furnace, the hissing of metal touching water, as well as the clashing noise of weapons hitting other weapons or shields, and battlecries of men can be heard if listened to closely enough.

Scent: Not quite that pleasant unfortunately. The scent of still air and earth, like that before a rainstorm, with a hint of blood detected. Those more attuned may smell coals and heated smelting tools as well as molten slag.

Weapons:

Twin Strikers - Strike 4, Reliable. Yoh's new choice in weaponry. After enough instances of breaking hand based weapons, and inflicting injuries on his hands themselves while fighting, He has opted to go with wielded weaponry, and what better than a blunt object? It is like a ranged fist! These hammers were pilfered from the spoils of war after the Blue Wolves defended their territory from The Joker and Pandora. Wielded by one of Pandora's Oni, only to fall into his hands, they are a lovely shade of light gray, rectangular in shape at the head like a cement hammer. They have black intricately carved wooden handles, with large gold metal hoops at the end. At the loop, red ribbon is tied and wave in the wind, to a tattered edge on both. Yoh has, of course, taken some type of burning stencil to it, and put S.E.E.S. on them, to represent the team he supports. The hammers are surprisingly effective against Demons and Shadows alike. Maybe there is something magic about them?

Plated Biker Gloves - Strike 4, Focused. Yoh used to use glove based weapons back in the day. These were his favorite from day one. While hardy and painful, they tend to wear out fast, as with almost all weapons of the genre when he uses them. His most recent pair were a gift from Minamo Takagawa at Christmas!

Scoring Claws - Slash 3, Reliable, Poison1. Yoh obtained these one day as he visited Thora Kobayashi at her workplace, Daidara's Metalworks in Inaba. They were a rather good price for such a weapon. They are some kind of plated gauntlets, with three vicious 8-inch blades sticking out from the back of the palm, anchored into the gauntlet. The metal it is made from is unknown to Yoh, but it is a black, with deep red speckles within. It never seems to dull or need repair at all, either! The weapon seems to be toxic to most things, including people and Shadows. Yoh tries to refrain from using these if possible. Since his change to blunt weaponry, these have hit the shelf, but still tries to think of a way to apply it's usefulness weapon-wise in a different manner...

Backpack:

Pink Mittens. A hilarious mishap fighting enemies in Tartarus left Yoh without weaponry. Since Yoh tends to break or splinter fingers when punching with Magni-level power, he needs to wear gloves or mittens to soften the impact on him. Minamo Takagawa was the only person on hand with any, and... well, that is how he got them! He should return them sometime soon.

Prism Crystal. While not nearly as big as it used to be due to using most of it to fashion a necklace for Nagisa Renge's birthday, Yoh has a small shard of it left. Clear gray in color, it has a strange swirling pattern that reflects light up the center of the crystal in a prismatic fashion. Most likely nothing special about it, it was obtained in a cave deep under KNOWS Castle while it was still exposed, along with the aforementioned girl as they first formally met.

Fancy Leather Jacket. A birthday gift from Kasumi Horie This jacket is rather snazzy! Made of actual leather, not fake stuff, it is a dark gray color. it has inside pockets, as well as a rather warm neck-hugging collar! Yoh was shocked to receive such a high priced gift (at a guess, anyway). All the more reason to get her something even better for her birthday!

Silk Headband. Yoh was not too fond of how snug the SEES signature armbands were, so he made his own identity mark! This is just simple red silk with a marker taken to it to spell S.E.E.S. on it. Since obtaining the Twin Strikers though, this has taken a permanent shelf spot on his Shelf of Unique and Important Oddities.

Silver Dragonhead Necklace. A gift for his birthday from Minako Arisato! Made of sterling silver, it has crystal eyes, red as Minako-chan's own! He tries to wear it as often as possible, having previously been lacking neck jewelry.

4G HD Android Phone. Yoh is generally not one to be pro-technology, usually preferring simple things. The one exception Yoh has as a state-of-the-art phone. The one he has can do everything; plan events, calendar, GPS, games, high definition video, internet browsing, voice command, data USB storage, friend contacting, you name it! The only thing a teenager needs these days.

Bling Ring. The one thing Yoh almost never shows anyone. This ring is the last item Yoh has of his destructive times, back when greed ruled him. A solid real gold ring, with 16 decent sized cubic zirconium gems shaped in a square on the head of it. Yoh never wears it, but keeps it in a front pocket at all times. It is the one material possession that helps him remember what he used to be, and to remind himself to never become it again. Maybe one day when he is able to truly leave his past behind he will wear it as a badge of ascendance...

Michi Yamagatani, XIX - THE SUN: Yoh's mother and only known guardian at the time. Michi grew up in the Port Island area along with her mother and father, whom lived rather above average lives in a good area of the city. She currently works at at a conglomerate pharmaceutical company in Lunarvale as a secretary. Since Satoru's disappearance, she hasn't taken it quite as hard as Yoh figured she would, and recovered quickly to lead a normal life. She is rather beautiful for her age of 37, looking quite like she did as a young adult still. She has brunette hair cut rather short, and deep green eyes. She seems perky, talkative and energetic, which clearly answers the question of where Yoh got it from. She is rather active as well, working out at a nearby gym, doing gardening, and going out for nights out on the town with her friends in her spare time. She currently lives on the Yamagatani Estate in Lunarvale, which is in rather close proximity to one of the ends of Joy Street. One would think with such a quick recovery that she may know about Satoru's actual whereabouts...

Satoru Yamagatani, V - HIEROPHANT: Yoh's father. A once self proclaimed psychologist, gone well known psyche researcher, gone believed deceased scientist. He grew up around folks in the countryside, leading a quiet life until moving to the city and studying in psychology. After marrying Michi, he sought a well paying job for a time with no luck. With nothing to do in his spare time, he wrote a series of essays dictating theories of how the human mind works in conjunction with others. Catching the eye of Kirijo Group, he soon obtained a job with them. After the catastrophe in Port Island, he became distant from his family to seek answers to what had happened, as thankfully he was not at the main site at the time of the incident. Not long after, he disappeared, faking his death. Choosing to sate his thirst for knowledge over his family, he abandoned them in that manner to join SEBEC to perform research, continuing his studies from Kirijo Group. He still manages to get money to them somehow to help support their lives without them knowing it.

Chip, XXI - THE LAZY: - The laziest calico cat you ever saw. Michi's pet. Chip was originally adopted as a coping mechanism for Yoh when Yoh was young, to handle Satoru's disappearance better. Over the years though, it gradually backfired and Chip attached to Michi. Now due to Yoh's move to the SEES Dorms, he was forced to bring the fat cat along, since it was his all along. Yoh now carries Chip with him quite a few places, as to try bonding with him better. It has so far worked. Whether he loves or hates the attention he's receiving, he never does anything about it, due to abounding laziness. He is so lazy that no arcana could describe him, thus forcing the Velvet Room attendants to make a new Arcana just to describe him. (Not really, but it gives you an idea.)

Clarice Redridge, XVII - THE STAR: - An American woman of age 28, Clarice lives in the rural areas of Inaba in a rather small yet lavish home. Clarice is white, with brunette hair, good looks and blue eyes. She had gone to college with Michi, and was a great friend throughout the years to the family. She has taken up a life as a pharmacist, and likes to experiment with medication, hoping to make the next breakthrough and make a name for herself in the medical field.. With a little help from Michi, she is able to do small research privately through some good deals through her best friend's company. Yoh often finds himself in Inaba, running small parcels of medication to Clarice to help save a little postage cash. He occasionally bunks there as well if the errand runs too late!

• Minako Arisato: A bubbly, adorable girl. So cute too! She is apparently a core member of SEES, being there near the beginning. She is extremely friendly, and goes out of her way to make anyone feel good about themselves! Yoh gets really nervous around her due to her overly kind ways. Tends to say things that make Yoh uncomfortable, but for all the good reasons, as she is nothing but a high-school teenage girl formed entirely of good intentions. Makes a wonderful person to talk to when you are feeling down!
  
  
• Joker: A strange figure whom appears to those when something unique happens. He is extremely powerful, as much so as the clashing colors he sports. Yoh did not have much of an opinion about him, until he took Shirou Sekigawa under his wing, effectively taking away his good friend, and then staking to take Mikage-Cho away from Thora Kobayashi and her Blue Wolves, which he is a member. He cannot abide by this. He is a person Yoh wants to hit really, really badly.
  
  

• Sayori Kaizumi: A quiet and outgoing girl from Inaba. Owns the Inaba Ice Rink with her family. Very close to the KDA members, and somehow related to Misaki Toritsume Yoh helped rescue her from her Rumor Shadow, he thinks it was. While Yoh lost all the hair on his head in the process, at least it will grow back, and he saved someone's life in the process!
  
  

• Fuuka Yamagishi: A kind mannered girl Yoh has met several times in SEES. Very intelligent, she seems to have the most profound knowledge on the abilities of Resonance of anyone Yoh knows. An integral part of SEES, she is able to feel out dangers from very far away! Since Yoh has no range to his detection, someone like Fuuka is a godsend. Excellent healer too, she has patched Yoh up more than several occasions. He has heard she is not the best cook around in the dorms, but he would eat her food anyway, just because she is so damn helpful!
  
  
• Maki Sonomura: There is much to say about Maki Sonomura. One, she is... not a normal girl by any means. She was split into fragments of herself somehow, and was also in charge of a reality warping device call the DVA. Many things have come of it; The creation of Mikage-Cho, The warping of a group into an alternate reality, catching a glimpse of the future, the release of her shadow, Pandora, whom threatened to curb the world to her desire and ascend to the Collective Unconsciousness... She has many more problems than a normal person due to her charge. Yoh does not envy her this task, but hopes she will endure; she seems quite nice in person, though he is a good deal more attached to Aki, a demon aspect turned human, whom had a hand in awakening Yoh in the beginning. he can only hope that this girl will dismantle that machine one day to prevent future mishaps.
  
  
• Yukiko Amagi: A teenage girl met a few times, and apparent kin to the owners of the Amagi Inn in Inaba. She seems rather softspoken, but otherwise a good chatter. She also seems rather religious, taking an interest in Shinto when talked to at the Lunarvale Shrine.
  
  
• Shiori Hibiki: An extremely kind teenager Yoh runs into often. While she does seem nervous when it comes to talking about well, everything, she does provide advice and supportive comments where possible. Yoh actually looks forward to bumping into her. She appears to work at Cafe Chagall. Yoh feels guilty for getting Shiori into troublesome situations quite often when she is around, or causing her to feel bad. Yoh experienced his first Dark Hour with Shiori.
  
  
• Masumi Hayashi: A long relationship in the making. She is a man dressing as a woman to befit her personal desire. Yoh has nothing against it, really. He respects her by referring to her as the female gender, of course. A curious yet caring person, Masumi has been through the ringer. She had become Shadow Possessed, changing her completely, in what appeared to be that she was an actual girl! Very lustful and flirty, Shadow Masumi was, what Yoh thought, a godsend to the girl. He learned what a Possession truly meant through her, that she was imprisoned inside her own body by it. Finally, cornering the Possessed Masumi, then right after, taking on TV Shadow Masumi back-to-back in the TV world, they freed her of her problems in what was surely one of the most glorious fights Yoh will ever remember. He has not seen her since, but from what he hears, she is doing well. Thank the gods!
  
  

• Mitsuru Kirijo: The heir of KirijoCorp and commander of SEES, Mitsuru is a person Yoh idolizes. And might have an unrequited crush on in some small form due to how forgiving and kind she is. And of course pretty. Mitsuru helped Yoh get initiated into SEES when he was confused and unsure of what to do. It has been a long time coming in SEES now, and he still goes to her for advice all the time. He has messed up a time or two as well, and has been rather forgiving, knowing Yoh at least means well with his actions. While her company caused the Dark Hour, he knows with her determination and SEES at her back, it will be removed from the world on day, and when it is, Yoh will raise a glass to her name.
  
  

• Akatsuki Enda: A well respected member of SEES and of another group in Sumaru. Akatsuki used to be a member of SEES until he decided to move on and assist the group in Sumaru, whoever they are. Yoh always gets useful suggestions and the like from him, sort-of like Mai, but less brutally blunt and tolerable. He seems to have a brother of some kind, that is causing all sorts of problems for everyone. Yoh hopes he is able to stop him!
  
  

• Shou Hamada: One of Yoh's smarter friends he has come across. Also one of the few he seems to run in to all the time. Not that he minds anymore, he is rather fond of Shou's company. One of the bonds they share is they learned about the presence of Personae at nearly the same time. Shou is seen quite often with another friend Yoh has, Yuu Tenjou.
  
  

• Yuu Tenjou: A rather recent acquaintance met through Shou Hamada, Yuu seems like a decent person, though a solid opinion on the teenager has yet to fully form. He is often seen with Shou, hanging around different places together.
  
  
• Rise Kujikawa: OH MY GODS BEST SINGER. Yoh is a huge closet Rise fan! Almost all of his music on his phone is hers. Yoh even knows her decently well! How lucky is he?! The difference between him and every other fan in existence is, even though he knows her, and has mentioned he is a huge fan, he does not talk about her work or singing career in any way at all, because he knows it annoys her to no end in a way. So, he just hangs out, and does things that normal teens do! Try to make her life a little more bearable by not being just another swooning fan. I mean, he will swoon, but not around her!
  
  
• Shinsuke Kusagawa: Yoh had only known very little about this SEES member until a fateful moment where Hinata Itoh was tearing Yoh a new one verbally. He stepped in and helped guard him against such harsh words, which Yoh wholly appreciates. He didn't mean to make her angry. Ever since, he has gotten to meet him more often, and Yoh helped him be rescued from his dungeon, as well as find out about his... preferences. Again, like Masumi Hayashi, Yoh does not judge people on such unimportant things. They can do what they like! It's their life! Related to Itsuka Mizuhara somehow. Also great clubber. Will have to go with him more often!
  
  

• Aigis: A member of SEES. A real life blond robot! Oh man, Yoh is amazed by her very existence. He has so many questions for the girl android! He wants to ask them, but rather not gush or embarrass her. The strangest part is, seeing Aigis in so many places where he goes and socializes, she seems more human than some people he knows! Yoh has finally gotten to know her better. She really wants to be human it seems to him! She also has some sort of very protective view on Minako Arisato. Yoh hopes to get to know her even better over time! She really is fitting in. At times Yoh even forgets she is a robot now! It is crazy.
  
  
• Chie Satonaka: A girl Yoh has seen frequent TV rescues and other bad things as of late. Apparently a big member of the KDA, she is close friends with many of their members. Yoh finds that she is like if he was a girl! If he was a girl he would totally kick instead of punch, because girls look awesome when they kick somebody silly. Unfortunately he knows very little of her outside the fact that she loves martial arts, another indication that they would get along, told to him by Yukiko Amagi.
  
  

• Tsuyoshi Tadase: A teen Yoh met under the Augustus Tree one night. Seems rather studious, which is never a bad thing. Yoh always liked hanging around smart folks. Though Yoh can only imagine what Tsuyoshi thinks of him, seeing as their first meeting was with him in a rockstar costume with his matching cat. Tsuyoshi also appears to have a pet raven named Trouble.

• Wataru Hoshimoto: An odd kid that Yoh has ran into a few times. He seems to be a good person, though he has some trouble communicating. Possibly a speech impediment or disorder? Either way, Yoh has a positive impression about him. He is also a fan of the boy's artwork. Considering the strange alias Yoh has been given by him, he must have a close relative with the same name. Wataru recently asked Yoh to recruit people for some sort of game, so he went with it to find people.

• Reki Kurusu: A mysterious teenager Yoh encounters quite often. Yoh finds Reki much like himself; to do good and be dutiful is to be a good person. Yoh finds him chivalrous and kind, but constantly serious. He seems to have an unusually potent fear of the Dark Hour in Port Island. He also appears to work at an unusual number of jobs, but Yoh never questions it. Maybe it is just his thing. Yoh vows one day to get Reki to cut loose for a night and have fun!

• Chidori Yoshino: A white robed Gothic girl with bright red hair. Yoh finds her near insufferable due to her brash and rude nature toward pretty much everyone. Though Yoh is rather pulled toward her for some reason, whether it be her unique outfit, or wanting to find out just why she is so mean to everyone. Chidori baffled Yoh with the fact she somehow knew he was in SEES before anything suspicious at all was even said, or given away in any form.

• Shirou Sekigawa: A veritable fount of knowledge to Yoh. Shirou has answered many of his questions about the whole Persona business, though many times indirectly. Even if Shirou wasn't involved with all this magic nonsense, Yoh still finds him to be a swell guy. Yoh enjoyed a mock Persona fight with Shirou, and despite the pain, found it fun! Totally have to seek him out for more fights to train. He appears to be going out with Thora Kobayashi.

• Chiaki Ichikawa: A teacher from Yasogami High School. Yoh has bumped into her often. She seems a bit on the snippy side at times, if not outright pessimistic, but overall is a good conversationalist. It seems like at times she has something troubling her, and from information gathered, it may have something to do with her love life.

• Hitoshi Taniguchi: SEES member. A teenage boy Yoh has encountered three times. Whenever Hitoshi is around, he tries to suppress any conversations that seem to begin to drift towards the supernatural. Though now that point is moot due to Yoh's awakening. Since then, Yoh has run into him often on operations, and gets to socialize with him quite often, something Yoh was hoping for. He has found Hitoshi to be a good conversationalist, and overall a caring person. Yoh has been trying to get to know him better, especially after seeing what he went through in the recent DVA mishap. He is often seen with Yuuka Chiba. Something there perhaps...?

• Takahisa Kandori: A well dressed man Yoh encountered a few times in various places. He was one of the first two he saw use a Persona for the first time. Yoh as been warned by numerous folks to stay away from this person, as he is apparently not what he seems. Kandori seems to always know what Yoh has been up to somehow. He appears to own and run KNOWS in some form. According to Takahisa, it is some sort of facility to help those with 'The Power' to utilize it. Strange. Also, Guido also makes killer food!

• Thora Kobayashi: The only person who has ever directly intimidated Yoh. A large brutish looking girl, Yoh has run into her a few times, all of which she appears angry. Yoh finds her these days to be somewhat of a comrade in the supernatural. She was one of the first few Yoh witnessed using Personae. Thora also took Yoh to his first Mikage-Cho trip, pitting him against a Bicorn for initiation into her gang, and possible ulterior motives. This led to Yoh's Persona awakening however. Thora was also responsible for teaching him to summon a Persona without the use of an Evoker. She also seems to be a creation, rather than a normal human. Quite an interesting secret, but didn't phase Yoh's opinion of her. She is still the Thora he met. Learning this didn't alter her! Maybe he can help her cope with it somehow eventually. She appears to have a relationship with Shirou Sekigawa.

• Himeru Namikawa: SEES Member/Ally? Yoh isn't sure, though she is seen around some folks from SEES, as well as hangs around the dorm area. Yoh first met her at the Arcade in Port Island. A while after awakening, Yoh met her again on the other side of the supernatural fence. She seems rather blunt and apprehensive of Yoh's manners, including the nickname he gives his cat. Why would someone correct a person on an affectionate nickname they give a pet? Though rather stern, she is an adept fighter. Yoh feels like they got off to a rocky start, but maybe will get to know her someday.

• Hinata Itoh: SEES Member. An extremely friendly and energetic girl Yoh has come across a good number of times. All the times he has seen her, she seems very optimistic and spontaneous. Not that that is a bad thing mind you. Yoh finds her fun to be around, as she tries to uplift everyone around her. Her family appears to own the Lucky 7 convenience store in Port Island. Hinata is now in charge of tutoring Yoh in the ways of the supernatural in SEES. Yoh looks forward to this, and so far outside of one incident, has been going well. He wants to get to know her better, as in reality, he doesn't know all that much about this Itoh, other than she loves baseball.

• Kaede Fujioka: SEES Member. Yoh runs into her often. A rather intelligent and somewhat hard to read girl Yoh met since joining SEES. Yoh isn't exactly sure if it is her thing, but she likes to say things that have underlying meanings a lot. Either way she seems like a nice person, though makes Yoh feel awkward at times from what she says. Kaede also seems to think that on some level, Yoh is a pervert. Which is NOT TRUE. At least Yoh doesn't think he is. Though quite recently, Kaede has become quite friendly, and stopped with the accusing remarks. Wonder why...? Yoh goes out into the Dark Hour and into Tartarus often with her.

• Keitaro Nagasaku: A young teen Yoh runs into often lately. Seems rather nice, though timid to a degree. He is rather small, and wears glasses along with fancy clothes, which Yoh finds his fashion to be particularly awesome. Probably is bully bait, but Yoh would put a stop to that if he was around. Yoh wonders what Keitaro thinks of him, because so far, every meeting with the boy, Yoh is wearing a bizarrely different outfit. Thankfully as of late, Yoh has given a more defined look by meeting Keitaro in his usual clothes. Seems to have a maid named Kazumi with him occasionally.

• Taiki Himuro: SEES Member. A priest or bishop of some sort. Maybe a shrinekeeper? Either way, great person to talk to. Yohs big moment in getting to know Taiki in some form was during and after the Black Queen DVA incident. Taiki helped reassure Yoh and aid in his questions and doubts after it had happened. Definitely someone Yoh owes a favor to in his eyes.

• Main photo art done by Arielucia @ Deviantart. Get art done by her! She is cheap and does great work!
  
• I am available at any time to RP! just drop me an @mail or page me MUSH-side to arrange something!
  
• As well, I am game for anything game-changing MUSH-side to happen to Yoh. After all, I just go with the RP flow. So anything less extreme than Condeath, I will do! I just ask that you okay it with me first!
  
  

Some IC Notes:

• Yoh is deathly afraid of Snakes. If anything about you, Persona, what you wear, or even resemble a snake, do not expect Yoh to hang around! Fair warning!
  
• Yoh's father is indeed still alive, and working for SEBEC in their science facilities. If you want to go somewhere with this, whoever is reading, talk to me!
  
• It is hard to get Yoh angry at someone. The only surefire ways to do this and make him hate someone is to either attack him abruptly for no reason, but 'just because' or insulting his intelligence. Feel free to use this as sort of Pseudo-IC information if you just want Yoh to hate you forever.
  
• All of Yoh's NPC links are aware that Yoh's dad is still alive. Even his mother. he is even tied into his work and he does not realize it. They all three run a secret drug research club-like thing. Nothing special though (like creation of Lib or anything) worth noting in case of it being useful. Satoru uses his vast revenue and information and feeds it to Michi, who in turn uses her connections in the pharmaceuticals company she works for to purchase raw supplies, who in turns gets it transported to Clarice for experimentation, who then sends newfound info to Satoru and the process repeats, with all three getting paid well for the effort. And Yoh is the errand boy running the supplies from Michi to Clarice! There was a reason besides the given 'too expensive to mail' said to Yoh. Some of the medical supplies transported, while not illegal, are almost never seen outside a medical production company and may raise suspicion if found while mailing! Rather diabolical, huh? Imagine of Yoh finds this out!
  
• Yoh has a thing for girls who stand out, if this has not been noticed or vehemently denied... let this text here state that he does. So there. Take that, legal documentation!
