Description
Simulated Scenarios is a series where I draw the members of Arcanum as a part of a different universe - in this case, they are a part of the Persona 5 universe.

I recently binged all of Shenpai's Persona 5 Royal streams, and just had to make my own art for it! I do plan on making more for Persona 3 and 4, once I watch the streams and figure out how Personas in those games work.

Due to the members of Arcanum being demigods, I tried to make their personas related to their godly parents, and I included their evolutions as well, which I plan on designing as well, and I reference how they're designed in my explanations.

Alexandra Storm
Code Name: Fury
Arcana: Strength
Persona: Zeus Katharsios, Atlas, Ouranos

Alex's spirit of rebellion comes in the form of rebelling against herself. She is extremely easy to anger, and her Persona, Zeus Katharsios (or "Zeus the Atoner") represents using her rage instead of fighting it. It's evolution, Atlas, represents her being able to use her rage as a weapon instead of a burden, and Ouranos (the King of the Giants and Zeus' grandfather) represents her full mastery of her anger. Her code name, Fury, is not only a reference to her aforementioned rage, but also the 3 Furies from Greek Mythology.

Damien Coleson
Code Name: Golem
Arcana: Emperor
Persona: Dagda, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Mother Dona

Damien is rebelling against those who would take advantage of him. Despite being a big guy, and capable of wiping the floor with any opponent, he has a hard time saying no, and can be a bit of a pushover at times. His code name, Golem, references his strength to be unmovable and made of stone. The SMT franchise has a LOT of Celtic personas, and Dagda (The Good God, King of the Celtic Deities) is actually in another SMT game, although with a different design and attitude.

Charlotte Brand
Code Name: Spark
Arcana: Justice
Persona: Pele, Sol, Pele-Honua-Mea

Charlotte is rebelling against those who would force their views on her. She wants to be able to view the world through her own lens, not one crafted by others. Personas in this game give a little "I am thou, thou art I" speech before the awakening, so her code name references what I think Pele's speech would be: "I am thou, thou art I, be the spark that lights the flames of rebellion!" Also, her fully awakened Persona's name, Pele-Honua-Mea, means "Pele of the Sacred Land".

Lars Forsberg
Code Name: Current
Arcana: The Wheel of Fortune
Persona: Njord, Hafgufa, Jormungandr

Lars is one to flow with the current, not against it as others would suggest he do. Their Personas represent the ability to flow around obstacles and erode them down like a smooth river, or crash into them like a raging tsunami if necessary.

This game seriously is awesome, I really want to play it some day! If you have any ideas on possible universes to port the characters into, please feel free to suggest them in the comments! I might do one for LoL, D&D, Legend of Zelda, and Mortal Kombat in the future.

Anyway, have a great day and enjoy!
