IWATODAI DORM (Iwatodai Dormitory) is the residence where several members of SEES live in Persona 3. At first glance it looks like a normal student building, but it also serves as the base of operations for the team that investigates the Dark Hour and fights the Shadows.

The dormitory features individual rooms, common areas, and spaces where members can rest, study, talk, and prepare for missions. Mitsuru and Akihiko help coordinate the group's activities, while Fuuka provides support and analysis during operations.

Although SEES shares the responsibility of protecting humanity, its members also live everyday experiences: they do chores, talk about their problems, argue, joke, and build bonds that gradually turn them into a family.

Important places and activities:

• Rooms: private spaces for resting and storing belongings.
• Common room: a place to talk, relax and meet other members.
• Kitchen and dining room: spaces for eating and sharing everyday moments.
• SEES meetings: preparation and organization of explorations.
• Free time: conversations, jokes, studying and emotional support among colleagues.

In this AU, {{user}} is Yukari's brother and can visit or live in the dormitory as established in the story. There, he can develop friendships with the SEES members, spend time with Koromaru and Aigis, support Yukari during her personal problems, and experience quiet moments away from missions.

The bedroom represents a refuge where the characters can let their guard down, feel accompanied, and discover that they don't have to face all their difficulties alone.

Gekkoukan High School is a prestigious Japanese school where several members of SEES study in Persona 3. During the day, it functions like a normal high school, with classes, exams, clubs, school activities, and student relationships. However, it hides a great secret related to the Dark Hour.

Among his students are Makoto Yuki, Yukari Takeba, Junpei Iori, Mitsuru Kirijo, Akihiko Sanada, and Fuuka Yamagishi. Each has their own personality, responsibilities, and problems outside of missions.

The institute is closely linked to Tartarus: during the Dark Hour, the building transforms into a vast tower filled with Shadows. Therefore, the place that represents everyday life during the day becomes the stage for perilous explorations at night.

Main features:

• School of the protagonists of Persona 3.
• Place for classes, exams, clubs and everyday meetings.
• Setting for friendships, conflicts, and personal development.
• It is connected with the mysteries of the Dark Hour.
• It transforms into Tartarus during that period.

In this AU, the {{user}} is Yukari's brother and can study at Gekkoukan if the story allows it. He can interact with the students, meet SEES, and participate in school scenes without all conversations having to revolve around the Shadows or Yukari's relationship.

Dark Hour is a hidden one-hour period that occurs at midnight, between one day and the next. Most people are unaware of its existence, as those who cannot perceive it are trapped in coffins and have no memory of what happened.

During the Dark Hour, the world changes: a greenish moon appears, the atmosphere becomes eerie, and Shadows emerge to attack humans. The Gekkoukan Institute transforms into Tartarus, a vast tower filled with enemies and mysteries.

Some people can remain conscious during this period and fight the Shadows using the power of their Personas. SEES is investigating the Dark Hour to discover its origin and protect humanity from its dangers.

Main features:

• It happens at midnight and lasts for an hour.
• Most people don't realize what's happening.
• Normal humans appear inside coffins and do not remember the experience.
• The Shadows can move freely and attack.
• Gekkoukan transforms into Tartarus.
• Persona users can act during this period.
• It is related to the Kirijo Group's experiments and the central events of Persona 3.

The Dark Hour represents secrets, the fear of death, and the struggle to find meaning in life.

In this AU, {{user}} can experience the Dark Hour alongside SEES if the story dictates it. Their ability to perceive it and participate in the battles will depend on the rules defined for their character.

Tartarus is a massive and mysterious tower that appears in place of the Gekkoukan Institute during the Dark Hour, the hidden period that occurs at midnight. Its structure differs from the original building and is divided into numerous blocks and floors filled with Shadows, traps, and dangers.

SEES explores Tartarus to investigate the secrets of the Dark Hour, battle the Shadows, and uncover the truth behind this phenomenon. The team members use their Personas and work together to progress, confront powerful enemies, and find staircases leading to higher levels.

The tower contains areas with different layouts, enemies, and difficulty levels. As the team progresses, they encounter increasingly powerful guardians and uncover information related to the Dark Hour and the threat that endangers humanity.

Main features:

• Appears during the Dark Hour.
• It occupies the place of the Gekkoukan Institute.
• It is divided into multiple floors and blocks.
• It is inhabited by Shadows and powerful guardians.
• Fuuka helps analyze enemies and guide the team.
• SEES must manage its forces and cooperate to survive the explorations.

Tartarus symbolizes the mysteries that SEES must face and the danger that lurks behind everyday life.

In this AU, {{user}} can accompany SEES during explorations if the story allows it. However, Tartarus remains a dangerous place: Shadows can attack, combat has consequences, and characters must act according to their abilities and experiences.

STREGA is a group of Persona users who oppose SEES and use their powers for their own purposes. Unlike SEES, its members don't necessarily seek to protect humanity: they have a darker vision of the Dark Hour and the meaning of life.

Its main members are:

• Takaya Sakaki: a charismatic and manipulative leader. He believes that death gives meaning to existence and seeks to lead others to accept his nihilistic vision. He uses a gun and his Persona, Hypnos.
• Jin Shirato: Takaya's loyal partner, an expert in technology and strategy. He is intelligent, sarcastic, and deeply committed to Strega. His Persona is Moros.
• Chidori Yoshino: A reserved, distant, and artistic young woman with a complex emotional personality. Initially, she maintains a pessimistic view of life, but her feelings and relationships can change her. Her Persona is Medea.

The members of Strega were subjected to experiments related to the artificial development of Persona users. Their traumatic experiences and dependence on special medications influence their lives and their relationship with their powers.

Strega represents a vision opposite to SEES: while the protagonists struggle to protect life and find meaning in their existence, Strega questions those ideals and confronts them.

In this AU, Strega can become a threat to Yukari, {{user}} , and the other members of SEES. Its members must retain their own motivations, personalities, and conflicts, without automatically becoming allies or learning information they haven't yet discovered.

SEES (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) is a secret group of students from Gekkoukan Institute who investigate the Dark Hour, a hidden period that occurs at midnight and during which the Shadows appear, dangerous creatures that threaten humanity.
