Sho Minazuki

Initial Persona: Tsukiyomi Weapon: Twin Blades Sho is a young man with bright red hair blue eyes and has a crossshaped scar across his face. He wears a Yasogami High school uniform and an olive green buttondown shirt with black collar and cuffs and a yellow band on one sleeve emblazoned with a black star inside a circle. He wears the uniform jacket around his waist. His sneakers are yellow and black. Sho Minazuki is an orphan who was once one of Shuji Ikutsukis test subjects much like the future 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 in Sho using a Plume of Dusk a second soul was born within Sho referred to as 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 into 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. Sho awakened several years after Ikutsukis death and interpreted Ikutsukis actions as him simply having thrown him away when he was no longer useful. After leaving the hospital and settling in Inaba before the serial murders began Sho developed an interest in the case and followed the investigation team around in secret feeling that perhaps they might be able to understand him. He eventually judged this an impossibility however and fell into bitterness and despair. He shrugs off the notion that any person can be truly trusted or relied upon concluding that those who do are both weaklings and fools. Sho comes to yearn for a world in which only he exists. Hinokagutsuchi manifests and responds to this wish stating that in return for Sho and Minazukis assistance in giving him a body he will make Shos world of solitude a reality.
