  • Artist Info: Main Character<br />
    Main Character (主人公, Shujinkō?) Voiced by: Akira Ishida (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)<br />
    Persona: Orpheus and Orpheus Kai/Telos (Exclusive to Persona 3: FES) of The Fool arcana, Thanatos of the Death arcana, Messiah of the Judgement arcana <br />
    The Main Character (named by the player at the start of the game) is the story's protagonist. Persona 3 follows his 2009-2010 school year. The player is challenged to manage his time day by day, balancing the social-simulation and dungeon-crawling portions of the game. Of all the characters in Persona 3, only the Main Character has the ability to summon multiple Personas and combine them in the Velvet Room. He also can wield almost any weapon he chooses, though a one-handed sword is his default.<br />
    <br />
    The story of Persona 3 begins when Main Character transfers to Gekkoukan High School at the beginning of his junior year. When he arrives at the school dorm, he comes into contact with the Dark Hour and signs a contract in the Velvet Room. Soon he is recruited to hunt Shadows and investigate Apathy Syndrome alongside the other members of SEES. In addition to exploring the Tartarus dungeon, the Main Character is free to form friendships and romantic relationships with various other characters over the course of the school year. His "personality" is entirely up to the player to determine.<br />
    <br />
    It is eventually revealed that Aigis sealed Death within the Main Character when he was a young boy. If she had not, Death would have summoned Nyx and destroyed the world. Death, in its incomplete form, became the boy known as Pharos while he was trapped in the Main Character's mind. The Main Character was subconsciously drawn to Gekkoukan High School since that is where Death can be revived.<br />
    <br />
    Pharos regains all of his lost memories once the twelve Arcana Shadows (fragments separated from Death) are defeated. He then emerges from the Main Character's psyche and turns into Ryoji Mochizuki. For a time he lives as a human. Yet his true nature cannot be ignored, and after a short period of time he becomes unable to maintain his human form. He gives the Main Character (and thus the player) the choice to kill him while he is still human and forget about Nyx, or to allow him to live and try to defeat Nyx after she is summoned. Choosing the former triggers the game's "bad" ending, in which everyone forgets about their SEES relationship, the Shadows, Tartarus, and everything that was connected to the Personas/the Dark Hour. Nyx materializes near the end of the school year and destroys the world.<br />
    <br />
    In the "good" ending, the Main Character defeats Nyx at the cost of his own life. The bonds he has forged with SEES and his other friends give him power to fight the sorrow, depression, and apathy of humankind, which were what drew Nyx to Earth, by letting him create The Universe arcana with the help of Igor. With the power of the The Universe, and the cheering on of his Teammates he combats Nyx itself in a one on one battle. He reaches his full potential and becomes both a martyr and a messiah.<br />
    <br />
    The Main Character clings to life for a month after fighting Nyx, in order to keep the promise he made to meet his friends on Graduation Day. Once his oath is fulfilled he falls asleep in Aigis' lap, smiling. The epilogue, playable in Persona 3 FES, reveals that the Main Character is not truly dead. Instead, his soul has become the barrier that stands between Nyx and humanity.<br />
    <br />
    The main character is briefly mentioned in Persona 4 by Margaret, the new assistant to Igor. Margaret tells the protagonist of Persona 4 that Elizabeth left her position to free "The Blue-Haired Boy" who was trapped in a wall.<br />
    <br />
    In the manga, authored by Shūji Sogabe, the Main Character is named Minato Arisato (有里 湊, Arisato Minato?). In this portrayal, he only speaks when spoken to and a notable running gag in the manga is that he is frequently tired or bored (possibly in reference to the fatigue aliment occurring in the game).<br />
