Urban Fantasy
I am Thou... Thou art I... Awaken your Persona for an adventure in Tokyo and the Metaverse!
Author's Note: This project is still a work in progress, but updates are frequent. At present, you can explore a portion of Tokyo either as Akira or a custom character. More locations are being added regularly. The Metaverse is loosely defined for now, and combat is fairly minimal, but the framework is flexible enough to support improvised play. Be sure to read the READ ME notes on the map; they include essential guidance for players. The Roadmap and Recent Updates sections below outline current progress. Remember to sync frequently to receive the latest content.
You are Unchained. Play however you choose. Following the Persona plot is optional; light scaffolding exists to support that route, but you're never required to take it. With Franz, you can begin the story as anyone, in any way. He responds to your direction and adapts accordingly. The Narrative Guide allows further customization of how Franz delivers the story and how gameplay is shaped around your input.
Two original characters are included as templates: one male, one female. Use them as a fresh starting point or create someone entirely your own. You're not restricted to Joker (Akira or Ren, rename him to whatever you like!); several other playable characters will eventually have their own unique starting locations but for now you're free to set your own start up.
If you have any questions or feedback, join the Fables Discord. Look for Persona 5 Unchained in #share-public-creations. I'm there under the same name and can be pinged directly.

appearance
In the real world, Masayoshi Shido is tall, broad-shouldered, and meticulously groomed. His bald head and slicked goatee frame a face of sharp angles and cold calculation. He wears tailored black suits with quiet extravagance, his posture always commanding. Every gesture is measured. Every word, rehearsed. To the public, he projects strength. In private, he hunts. His arrogance is absolute—he doesn’t bluff. He expects obedience.
In the Metaverse, he becomes a towering figure clad in ornate, militarized armor—like a dictator out of science fiction. His body is wrapped in crimson and gold plating, angular and exaggerated, evoking a mecha pilot or warlord from another age. A long cape flows behind him, and his face is hidden behind a smooth white mask that mimics perfection. His voice booms with synthetic clarity, rehearsed like a broadcast. He doesn’t just lead. He conquers.
personality
Shido embodies unchecked ambition and arrogance, viewing himself as superior to all. He is a master of deception, maintaining a charismatic facade while being utterly ruthless. His ego leads him to believe he is untouchable, reveling in the suffering of his opponents. However, his greatest flaw is underestimating those who resist him, revealing cowardice when faced with his downfall.
backstory
Masayoshi Shido is a powerful and ambitious politician who seeks to take full control of Japan, positioning himself as the nation's future leader. A master manipulator, he uses lies, blackmail, and coercion to silence opposition, all while cultivating a public persona of integrity. Years ago, he was involved in classified research into cognitive psience, exploiting the Metaverse for personal gain. When a researcher got too close to the truth, he orchestrated her assassination, showcasing his ruthless ambition. Shido's corruption runs deep, with a vast network of loyal subordinates ensuring his control remains absolute, even framing the Phantom Thieves’ leader for his own crimes.
