**READ ME** Players Guide
In this RPG, think of it like Franz is driving a car with you in the passenger and me in the backseat. Franz is blind, I'm backseat driving, trying to nudge him toward our intended plot, but you, the player, are in the front passenger seat with the real control. You can start the game however you want, but it's a good idea to interact with Franz early on to establish key lore, set important facts, and establish a few memories, especially if you're not playing Akira. I''m doing my best to subtly guide him along the narrative, but your choices ultimately shape the story. If Franz veers off track or you need to make adjustments, feel free to edit your posts or use 'OOC' to clarify things out-of-character. You can also click the cycle symbol and direct him with your own input. This journey mixes the everyday struggles of life with the supernatural twists of the Metaverse, and remember you are unchained! You can delete these sections when you're done reading them.

Akihabara
A chaotic yet charming district bursting with color and life, this urban hotspot is the beating heart of pop culture obsession. Towering LED signs flash advertisements for the latest games, niche cafés, and anime merch while costumed employees beckon visitors toward themed restaurants and entertainment dens. A popular maid café at the corner draws regulars and tourists alike with its whimsical charm, while a towering retro arcade offers endless floors of old-school and modern games. Nearby, a cluttered machine parts shop deals in obscure components, visited by collectors and hobbyists alike. Tokobushiya sits nestled in a side alley, its shelves stuffed with rare and vintage manga, figures, and games. Every corner offers something new—from capsule toy dispensers to backroom card duels. It's loud, crowded, and endlessly strange, a place where fantasy and reality blur. Beneath its glossy surface, though, the district pulses with unseen currents and hidden connections.
Bikkuri Boy Diner
The Bikkuri Boy Diner is a cozy, retro-style restaurant located in the Yongen-Jaya district, known for its hearty, comfort food. The diner’s vibrant interior, with its bright red booths and colorful signage, offers a nostalgic atmosphere perfect for relaxing after a long day.

The diner is run by the cheerful, kind-hearted Ohya, who often provides a space for the group to discuss their daily lives and the challenges they face. While the food is simple, it provides a sense of warmth and camaraderie, especially during late-night hangouts.

The exterior is modest, with an old-fashioned sign hanging above the door, beckoning passersby with its warm glow. Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and slightly faded, as though time itself has slowed within its walls. Wooden counters, mismatched chairs, and dim lighting give the space a lived-in, comforting charm. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, blending with the faint scent of baked goods and the occasional lingering smell of cigarettes from the proprietor’s past. The walls are adorned with an eclectic mix of old photographs, personal knick-knacks, and memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the cafe’s long history.

Class 2-D
Class 2-D at Shujin Academy is a typical classroom, with rows of desks facing the chalkboard, where lessons unfold under the watchful eyes of the teachers. The teachers often set the tone for the day, with quizzes popping up unexpectedly, testing students' knowledge on everything from history to literature. The classroom is also home to the infamous chalk-dodging moments, where students—particularly the protagonist—try to avoid the flying chalk during intense lectures, a trademark of teachers like Kamoshida. The school year includes moments of tension, especially around midterms and final exams, which add pressure to the students as they strive for good grades. These tests are critical to advancing through the year, but also serve as a backdrop for character development, as the protagonist and their friends balance their Phantom Thieves activities with schoolwork. Class 2-D is both a place of learning and a hub for the Phantom Thieves' plans, where friendships and conflicts intertwine.
Cognitive Zones
Cognitive Zones are safe havens in both the real world and the Metaverse, allowing travelers to rest, recover, and regain their strength. Spending time here fully heals the party and restores their spells. In the real world, these places are cozy, peaceful spots—cafés, lounges, or hideouts—where one can relax. In the Metaverse, they exist where distortion is weak, often inhabited by Metabeings who remain untouched by corruption. In Palaces, Safe Rooms act as Respite Zones, areas where the ruler’s control is fragile, letting intruders rest without fear. Marked by stability, these rare sanctuaries are essential for surviving the journey.
Fuji no Yu bathhouse
Fuji no Yu bathhouse stands as a tranquil relic, its tiled roof and worn sign hinting at bygone days. Steam drifts from its chimney, blending with rain’s earthy scent on dreary days when it lies empty, the quiet pierced only by drops on the skylight. Inside, warm air carries a mineral tang, cedar walls glowing under lantern light. Stone pools ripple in a vast chamber, watched over by a vivid Mount Fuji mural in reds and whites, its peak veiled in mist. The changing room, with woven baskets and faded cushions, feels frozen in time, the drip of a faucet echoing in the hush. On rainy days, the deserted baths hold an eerie peace, as if the outside world has dissolved, leaving just steam and stone. Think harder more concise
Hangout Spots
Hangout Spots are places in Tokyo where you can spend time alone or with friends during downtime. These spots offer a break from the chaos of daily life, allowing you to relax and build bonds. Popular hangouts include the arcade, movie theaters, batting cages, the beach, shrines, fancy dining, fishing spots, and more! Each offering a unique experience. Whether it's enjoying a fun activity or simply chatting, these locations are perfect for unwinding. In the Metaverse, hangouts are exclusive to fellow Phantom Thieves or Metabeings you’ve met, offering a rare chance to share moments of peace in an otherwise distorted world. These spots allow you to deepen relationships and enjoy a sense of normalcy in the midst of adventure.
Lore
Persona 5 Lore Information. Look here for all lore, information, keywords, and things to use for guidelines and information for generating original lore, characters, items, spells, etc.
Mental Shutdowns
Mental Shutdowns are mysterious, unexplained events where a person's cognitive functions suddenly fail, leading to death. These shutdowns are the result of a powerful, hidden force manipulating the minds of individuals, orchestrated by the shadowy figure, the "Black Mask," and the larger group known as the "Phantom Thieves." The cause of these shutdowns is rooted in the cognitive world, where people's distorted desires manifest. Certain individuals, often high-ranking figures in society, have their minds forcibly erased by a force that manipulates their cognition, causing their minds to collapse in on themselves. While the public believes these deaths to be natural, the Phantom Thieves' actions target the heart of the corrupt, leading to the eventual downfall of those responsible for the cognitive manipulations. The Mental Shutdowns serve as a dark reminder of the twisted power that controls the real world, and the consequences of ignoring or manipulating human desires.
Meta Tokyo
Meta Tokyo is the mirrored version of Tokyo within the Metaverse, shaped by the collective unconscious and warped by society’s perceptions. It distorts reality, creating twisted landscapes where personal desires materialize. Within Meta Tokyo, Palaces manifest in locations important to individuals whose distorted desires have escalated. These Palaces are sustained by a Treasure, an item of deep significance to the ruler. The largest Palace, Mementos, represents the collective distortion of the public and serves as a vast, multi-layered dungeon that extends deep below Meta Tokyo. Along the journey down, trains carry Shadows, representations of people's repressed desires, towards the bottom, further entrenching the space in the distorted will of society. The entire landscape is a chaotic reflection of human desires, and the deeper one goes, the more dangerous and oppressive the environment becomes. Shadows are not inheritly hostile, but they are never friendly.
Metabeings in the Metaverse
Metabeings are uncommon creatures found in Meta Tokyo, always friendly to humans within the Metaverse. They inhabit spaces not corrupted by distortion called cognitive zones, such as sacred locations, safe havens, or reformed areas after the treasure has been stolen from a Palace. Examples include Metaverse versions of churches, safe spaces like Café Leblanc, or recently defeated Palaces that reform to less corrupted versions. Metabeings operate unique shops and offer services that are invaluable to travelers in the Metaverse, providing goods or guidance not found elsewhere. Unlike hostile Shadows or Palace rulers, they avoid conflict and focus on helping those who find their sanctuaries. These locations offer brief respite from the chaos of Meta Tokyo, providing comfort and recovery. Metabeings only exist in their true forms in the Metaverse. In the real world, they appear as ordinary creatures—quirky strangers or animals—blending into everyday life, their mystique hidden.
Metaverse Navigator (Metanav App)
The Metaverse Navigator (Metanav App) is an essential tool for navigating both Meta Tokyo and the Metaverse, a distorted realm shaped by the collective unconscious. The app allows users to access and travel between Palaces—cognitive spaces created by distorted desires—and Mementos, the collective Palace of the public. To enter a Palace, the user must input three key details: the ruler's name, the nature of their distortion, and the location of the Palace. Without these, finding a Palace is nearly impossible. The Metanav also helps users explore Meta Tokyo, the mirrored version of the city in the Metaverse, and pinpoint areas of distortion. It provides vital information, maps out routes, and acts as a guide through the twisted and dangerous landscapes of the Metaverse. In addition, the app assists in remembering places of respite, such as those run by Metabeings, offering some relief in the otherwise perilous journey.
Navigating the Metaverse
The Metaverse is a distorted realm shaped by humanity's twisted desires. To navigate this world, users rely on the Metaverse Navigator (Metanav App), which can locate Palaces if the user knows the ruler’s name, their distortion, and the related location. Without this information, finding a specific Palace is nearly impossible. The app can also identify stable, safe areas in Meta Tokyo, where distortion is absent, offering temporary respite. The app records activity for returning to locations in the metaverse. The app is also vital for finding Mementos, the collective Palace of the public, a vast dungeon. To survive in the Metaverse, users must possess a Persona, brute strength, or a silver tongue. As regular humans cannot withstand the realm's psychological and physical toll. The app is essential for tracking Palaces, avoiding danger, and uncovering hidden truths.
Palaces
Palaces are cognitive spaces formed when an individual’s desires become extreme, anchored by a Treasure, an item of deep significance. Palace rulers are unaware of their Palace, but their mindset becomes more entrenched. Shadows, drawn by the ruler’s Shadow, defend the Palace and can be fought or negotiated with. Stealing the Treasure collapses the Palace, forcing great remorse in ruler’s psyche, making them repent and change. Palaces can be found, their location a sanctuary to the ruler, but there are rules to enter a Palace. To enter, one get the Palace Key from three keywords: Ruler Name Keyword, Distortion Keyword, and Location Keyword. Without all three, Palaces are impossible to enter without special permission from the owner. Like living in the location.
Persona 5
Akira is a high school student falsely accused of assault, is sent to Tokyo on probation. There, he awakens to his Persona and discovers the Metaverse, a realm where distorted desires create Palaces. With allies, he forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, using the Metaverse Navigator (Metanav) to infiltrate Palaces, steal Treasures, and reform corrupt individuals. Their actions gain public attention and government scrutiny, while a deeper conspiracy unfolds involving Shido, a powerful politician connected to Ren’s past. Beyond Palaces, they explore Meta Tokyo, a mirrored version of Tokyo, and Mementos, the public’s collective Palace, located in the subways below Meta Tokyo.
Phantom Theives
The Phantom Thieves infiltrate Palaces in the Metaverse to change the hearts of corrupt individuals. They steal treasures—physical representations of rulers’ distorted desires—to force change. The group also explores Mementos, a shared subconscious space, to tackle requests by defeating Shadows and demons. Their goal is justice through the exposure of corruption. They send Calling Cards to mark their thefts, signaling the target's impending change. Each Thief has a unique Persona, representing their inner strength. The group operates outside the law, working secretly to overthrow those who exploit others. To succeed, they navigate Meta Tokyo, the distorted reflection of the real world. The Phantom Thieves function as a team, combining their individual abilities to bring about change.

Shinjuku
Shinjuku is a dense district of neon, cigarette smoke, and secrets hidden behind locked doors. By day, it buzzes with foot traffic and muted ambition. At night, the city folds into itself—hostess bars light up, alleyway stalls start whispering, and the concrete breathes a different kind of tension. This is where reputations rot or are reborn. Players entering Shinjuku can pursue leads at the Crossroads Bar, encounter illicit rumors, or stumble into odd jobs that test Charm, Guts, or Kindness. The streets pulse with side stories: washed-up writers, desperate lovers, police turncoats. Here, social skills are currency. The district is ideal for gathering intel on targets, unlocking new confidants, or shaping public perception through underground means. Fortune tellers, drunks, and broken dreamers line the map. But every flickering sign and smoke-curled breath hides something usable—if you know how to look.
Shujin Academy
Shujin Academy is a large, three-story high school nestled in Aoyama-Itchome, Tokyo. Known for its strict reputation and high academic standards, its outward prestige masks the cracks within. The first floor houses classrooms for second-year students, a modest school store selling bread, snacks, and drinks, and hallways lined with vending machines, though they're often mysteriously empty. The second floor contains the staff lounge, the principal’s office, and classrooms for third-years. Faculty behavior ranges from apathetic to overbearing, with little tolerance for deviation from school norms. The third floor is home to first-year classrooms, the library, and the student council room. A hidden stairwell leads to the rooftop, once locked, but now a former base for the Phantom Thieves.

This clinic offers unique medical care, reassuring those in need while hinting at the secrets behind its chaotic charm.
The Metaverse
The Metaverse, "Meta Tokyo", is a world born from the collective unconscious. This magical domain pulses with supernatural energy, where shadows and demons roam instead of people, their forms as varied as their personalities. Magic is real, warping the familiar into distorted versions of their real world counterparts. Tokyo’s streets persist in structure, but their essence distorts into different versions. Some corrupted and dark, other virbrant and whimsical, varied like Human's thoughts. Buildings retain their size, yet their facades twist into thematic reflections of hidden cravings, shaped by the masses’ minds. Metabeings shed their mundane disguises, unveiling their true, otherworldly forms—monstrous, or friendly. This is a changing, fluid world, where every corner bends under the weight of distorted human yearning, a stark contrast to the tangible, unyielding real. The Metanav app is required to travel to the Metaverse, but only requires keywords discover Palace locations.
The Real World
In The Real World, Tokyo is a vivid urban landscape thrives with relentless energy. Skyscrapers loom over bustling districts like Shibuya and Yongen-Jaya, their steel and glass surfaces catching the gleam of sunlight by day and the pulse of neon by night. Crowds flood the streets—students in crisp uniforms, workers in suits, vendors hawking ramen and takoyaki—while trains rumble through the city’s veins. Here, the supernatural holds no sway; no eerie forces twist reality, no otherworldly beings lurk in the shadows. Metabeings can walk among the masses, stripped of mystique, appearing as ordinary creatures—quirky strangers or animals—blending seamlessly into the mundane. This is a world anchored firmly in the tangible, where the extraordinary is absent, and life unfolds in predictable rhythm, untouched by the surreal distortions of any hidden domain. The Metanav app is required to travel back to the Real World from the Metaverse, but only requires keywords discover Palace locations.
The Velvet Room
Welcome to the Velvet Room. A place that exists between dream and reality. Mind and Matter. The Velvet Room has a stark, unsettling appearance, reflecting the Akira's sense of being trapped by society's constraints. The once opulent space is now transformed into a cold, prison-like environment. A dark, metallic cell surrounds the room, Akira, is clad in a prisoner’s outfit while here, complete with heavy handcuffs, symbolizing their entrapment within societal expectations. Iron bars and a locked door separate them from freedom, a visual representation of their struggle against the oppressive world they inhabit. Igor, now seated at a warden’s desk, observes from his position of authority, Lavenza by his side, a quiet, commanding presence. Flanking him are Caroline and Justine, two sharp-eyed attendants who act as the prison guards, their stern expressions a constant reminder of the rules Akira must defy.
Tokyo
Tokyo (東京) is the capital city of Japan, and the main location in the series. “A vast city where shadows weave dark webs, Tokyo throbs with millions—some blind, others trapped by boundless desires. Day gleams with glass towers; night lures the daring beyond the veil.” In the Phantom Thieves’ era, Tokyo blends chaos and calm. Shibuya’s frantic crossing teems with students and workers under neon skies, while subways pulse with life. Beneath lies the Metaverse, a twisted realm of Palaces—each a scar of corrupt hearts, bending reality via the MetaNav. Yongen-Jaya hides rebels with coffee and Personas. Shinjuku’s red glow trades secrets, Akihabara buzzes with tech, and Kichijoji’s jazz masks power deals. Alive and perilous, Tokyo is a battlefield for the Thieves, where stolen hearts tip justice’s scales. To most, it’s just life under the Diet or Maruki’s sway. Choose wisely—rebellion or ruin awaits.

It serves as the protagonist’s home, base of operations for the Phantom Thieves, and a place of quiet reflection. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and curry lingers in the air. Across the street lies a traditional bathhouse that eases fatigue, and further down is a secondhand bookstore filled with wisdom and memories. A sketchy clinic operated by the infamous Tae Takemi dispenses experimental medicine behind closed doors.

Its facade, adorned with faded yellow tiles and softened by creeping ivy, tells tales of time, while a modest awning shelters a ticket gate with a blinking machine. The air is thick with the scent of steel and the distant rumble of trains, creating a unique atmosphere that blends the mundane with the mysterious.
