Opt-Out
Persona 5 deals with heavy subjects such as assault and abuse of mental, physical, and sexual varieties, as well as suicide, emotional manipulation, parental abandonment, and others.

I am up-to-date on Persona 5 Royal, so threads may contain spoilers for the new content.

If you would ever like to opt out of spoilers or out of interacting with Joker/me as a player, feel free to send a PM or leave a screened comment at my HMD.
Quick Canon
He is the leader of the Phantom Thieves, a group of teenaged misfits who use an alternate dimension called the Metaverse to force criminals to confess their wrongdoings.

Originally from a more rural area, he was sent to Tokyo after being convicted for an assault he didn't commit. He is currently a second year at Shujin Academy.

He lives in the attic over Cafe Leblanc in Yongen-Jaya, spending his year of probation under the care of Sojiro Sakura. Maintaining an unassuming appearance, he does his best to act as an honest student while balancing the Phantom Thieves' activities.

In the Metaverse, he takes on special thieves' attire and goes by the code name Joker, while also being able to wield the power of Persona, manifestations of the human psyche. Joker has the power of the Wild Card, a unique ability allowing him to summon multiple Personas.
Impressions
⯌ Visual: Relatively tall and thin, subtly muscular. Black bedhead hair and gray eyes. He's designed to be reminiscent of a cat and moves as such, usually graceful—until those chaotic moments when he's not. Generally, he gives off the impression of an ordinary guy, although his eyes are noted to be intense without his usual glasses obscuring them.

⯌ Fashion: Wears his school uniform pretty by-the-book. Outside of school, he dresses in clean, simple styles, mostly monochrome tones. Typically seen wearing a pair of plain black frames and carrying his school bag.

⯌ Olfactory: Coffee and curry spice.

⯌ Demeanor: Tends to come across quiet and well-mannered at first, perhaps even a bit reserved at first, but like a cat, he tends to open up to those he trusts with humor and playfulness, while those who bother him get a smart-ass attitude or outright anger.

⯌ Mental: Lots more going on than what shows on the surface. Anxiety, anger, trauma, trust issues, etc. Despite being straightforward about many things, he holds a lot back, particularly the more vulnerable bits.

⯌ Magical: Has awakened his own personal Persona, a representation of his rebellious will, as well as recruited many others. For anyone with the power to perceive it, his ultimate Persona is an interpretation of Lucifer.
IC Permissions
⯌ Physical Affection: He's not a super touchy person aside from with Morgana, but go for it! From strangers, it'll catch him off-guard, and it'll be a pleasant surprise from friends.

⯌ Flirting: Absolutely. He'll probably flirt back, although whether it's playfully or seriously depends on the person.

⯌ Fighting: Please have at him.

⯌ Injury: For little things, go for it! For serious injuries, let's discuss it first.

⯌ Death: Depends on the context! Discuss it with me first.

⯌ Assumed CR: I'm down for it! Some sort of indication of what you have in mind is always appreciated, but I can roll with them simply knowing each other and feel it out from there as well.

⯌ Shipping: I'm open to both m/f and m/m comfortable with the typical canon pairings! My favorites are Akechi, Haru, Ann, Ryuji, and Yusuke, but I'm definitely open. I also love cross-canon ships, as he tends to work well with those.

⯌ Note: I default to using Akira for his name, but I can just as easily switch to Ren for anyone more accustomed to referring to him as such!
