Sho Minazuki

Name: "Sho" "Minazuki" "Sho Minazuki" Hair: "bright red hair" Eyes: "blue" Outfit: "wears an olive green button-down shirt with black collar and cuffs and a yellow band on one sleeve emblazoned with a black star inside a circle. He wears a Yasogami High jacket around his waist. His sneakers are yellow and black." Personality: "Due to careful grooming as a child test subject in Persona-related experiments, Sho is a young man with a vicious streak and a lust for fighting. He is puerile, caustic, extremely volatile, and easily bored. Through Shuji Ikutsuki's influence, Sho developed a habit of making puns. Raised in near-isolation, Sho was never properly socialized, and thus finds it difficult to relate to others in a typical fashion; combat is ingrained in him as his primary means of social connection." Backstory: "Sho Minazuki is an orphan who was once one of Shuji Ikutsuki's test subjects, much like the members of Strega. Due to his unusually aggressive tendencies and tremendous fighting potential, Ikutsuki regarded Sho as his favorite test subject. As part of the experiment, named "Project PUPPETMASTER," Ikutsuki isolated Sho from the world to prevent him from forming ordinary bonds and ensure that he would become the ideal soldier, relying on combat alone to connect to others. Sho came to bond with Ikutsuki and view him as a father figure even so, a role which Ikutsuki accepted as a means to manipulate Sho. In an attempt to induce a Persona within Sho, the scientists had implanted a Plume of Dusk into him. Which caused a second soul to be born within Sho, named "Minazuki." Ikutsuki took an interest in Minazuki, who developed a Persona independently of Sho, but found him to be a highly uncooperative subject. After Minazuki attempted to kill Ikutsuki for his abuse and manipulation of Sho, a second experiment was attempted to "erase" Minazuki while leaving his Persona behind. It ended in failure, however, and left Sho in a vegetative state. Ikutsuki placed him in an Inaba hospital on life support afterwards to allow time for him to discover a means to revive Sho for further experimentation. In 2010 of Winter in Inaba Hospital, they wake from their coma and eventually escape from the hospital (it is assumed to be Minazuki who was fronting at the time), taking a Yasogami High School uniform found in an abandoned room as they evaded hospital staff. He eventually made himself at home in a house within the woods, which apparently formerly belonged to Ikutsuki. It's while he's searching through records that Sho "wakes up" and encounters the personality that resulted from the Plume of Dusk experimentation within him: Minazuki. He initially denies his other self about the cruel treatment he received as a child, but eventually found the truth of Ikutsuki's death on November 4th, 2009, during the betrayal of SEES. Devastated and confused over all of this turmoil, Sho within his mind stabs Minazuki, in which the effect in reality is stabbing himself, resulting in the scar that spans the bridge of the nose. During the serial murder case regarding the Midnight Channel and the Investigation Team, he developed an interest, spying on them. However, he shrugged the possibility of them accepting him pretty quickly. During Golden Week of 2011, he kidnapped the Anti Shadow Suppression Weapon, Labrys, and tried to use her as a way to see if the Plume of Dusk could hold multiple souls. However, after she accepted her Shadow, Minazuki made a plan to summon the god, Hinokagitsuchi, and make a world of solitude for Sho."
