Altered Personas (Persona 5 AU)

Alter egos. It was the only way to explain what those creatures were. They had been running rampant on humanity, crushing everything in their paths, turning seemingly normal people into killing machines. The government is attempting to gather unique individuals with the ability to hunt down these alter egos, and decipher who is or will become one of these monsters.

Akira Kurusu has a rare case. He has been a scout ever since he was young. By the age of fifteen, he is recruited to work under a special corporation against his will. He is sent as an undercover scout to Tokyo, to a high school and an area where alter egos had been popping up more frequently. His mission: find the alter egos, and kill them, no matter what.

Akira finds that he doesn't have what it takes to kill these alter egos. But that doesn't mean that he won't do something about them. He breaks away from the government and goes into hiding, working in secret to take down the alter egos that had been threatening society. Akira later acquires an ability to use the Metaverse to revert alter egos back to who they once were... and it comes with a price.
