## Summary

Ren Amamiya is the playable main character of Persona 5, Royal, Strikers, Tactica, Dancing, and Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. Although Ren seems soft-spoken, calm, and timid in the real world he is more confident and enthusiastic, with his more defiant side being more pronounced when under to guise of "Joker".

He is one of the two players in Yaldabaoth's game, which was the result of the bet between Yaldabaoth and Igor to see if humanity is hopeless to the point of needing to be ruled over. As a result, he was given the wildcard and the MetaNav and put head to head with the corruption of society and the other "Trickster" in the game.

Prior to the events of the game, Ren was a normal teenager until one day he returned home late and witnessed something he perceived as "sexual assault", but after defending the woman, the man turned out to be a political head of the country and Ren was arrested as a result. The victim was coerced into testifying against Ren and as a result, he was put on probation for assault and battery and sent to Tokyo for a year. On his day of school, Ren discovers the Metaverse, an application that allows him to tap into people's cognitive worlds, parallel realities that represent how an individual views the world and learns about the sexual and physical abuse situation at his school and the cover-up that is protecting the culprit, and with his friends decides to use the Metaverse to bring the culprit to justice by "stealing their heart", a procedure in which you steal the source of their distorted desires which changes their views back to normal.

Later on in the story, the newly formed "Phantom Thieves" discover more and more deep-rooted corruption within society and use their powers to expose the dark side of society, with the group itself and the targets growing in scope and influence.
