Fan CastingPersona Moonlight Serendipity

This limited series serves as an adaptation of the classic PS2 JRPG Persona 3. Makoto Yuki, a depressed and asocial orphaned teenager, is forced to move to the bustling Tatsumi Port Island and attend school at Gekkoukan High. It is there that he discovers the Dark Hour, a dimensional anomaly that creates an hour in between days where shadows, manifestations of the most repressed aspects of the human psyche, run rampant. The source of the shadows is Tartarus, a massive eldritch tower that takes the place of Gekkoukan during the fabled Dark Hour. After a chance encounter with a particularly deadly shadow on a full moon, he discovers the power to summon a Persona, a concentrated expression of one's psyche. He then learns that some of his schoolmates possess similar abilities, and belong to a club known as SEES, whose purpose is to venture into Tartarus and eliminate shadows, which he promptly joins. The story then revolves around Makoto and his friends hanging out, battling shadows and uncovering a conspiracy regarding the origins of Tartarus that stretches back 10 years with links to his parent's untimely demise. (DISCLAIMER: Since this will be a western retelling of the game's plotline, I've decided to give certain characters english names, listed under aliases. Tatsumi Port Island and Gekkoukan High will retain their name schemes as to give the series a sort of East-Meets-West Aesthetic akin to Big Hero 6)
