Age: 16-17 Date of Birth: Unknown, 1992 Height: 170 cm (5'7") Blood type: O Initial Persona: Orpheus Ultimate Persona: Messiah Weapons: multiple Weapons, one-Handed Swords Arcana: Fool, Death, Judgement, Universe Makoto Yuuki is an orphan; his parents died ten years prior to the events of Persona 3, which sees him returning to the city he grew up in. He moves into the dorm in the introduction of the story, learning of his ability to summon a Persona when the dorm is attacked by Shadows during the Dark Hour. Mitsuru asks him to join SEES and he is later elected the team's leader in combat. Makoto is unique among his cohorts in that he has the ability to carry multiple Personas and switch between them during battle. He is also the only character with access to the Velvet Room. The initial Persona of Makoto is Orpheus, although through Persona fusion and other means he has access to over 170 different Personas. Soejima took longer to design the Main Character than any other character, as the game's other characters would be made to complement his design. Soejima wrote in Art of Persona 3, "Initially, he looked more honest, like an ordinary, handsome young man. But, I worked to achieve greater ambiguity in his expression."
