Your gateway to endless inspiration

So I’ve gotten really into Persona 5 lately and decided a while ago to try to concept my own phantom thieves ish group. These guys are the ones I have done so far, but I do want to add more people to this group! I have only written the summoning speeches for one of these guys, so I’ll put the symbolism behind certain design aspects of the personas and the speech for the one I have it for since he doesn’t have any symbolism in his design. And then I’ll explain their user’s stories!
Annabelle (”Blunderbuss”): The leader of the group and the first to summon her persona. She is the child of an assumed “criminal”, who died in a shoot out with police. She is looked upon with caution and contempt, assumed to be destined to become a criminal like her father. She knows her father is innocent and is just trying to keep her head down when she discovers the metaverse.
Rook: On a pirate flag; the color red symbolizes no mercy, an hourglass symbol symbolizes “time is running out”, and weapons symbolize an impending fight.
Rowan (”Spark”): The second to summon their persona. Rowan used to be a goody-two-shoes, an honor student, and a perfectionist. This was all due to expectations placed upon them to succeed and was fine. They suppose. But an incident left them without their right eye. Suddenly, they were treated as other and everything they were was ignored. Well, they were going to be treated as a good for nothing? They’d act like a good for nothing. They feel more ready to discover who they truly are after summoning their persona.
Antagonist: "So! You've finally decided to stop the show! You've kept it up so long, I was beginning to think you'd never find your real self. Now tell me, will you return to the role society cast you as? Or will you come onto the stage, and wow the audience with whom you truly are?! I am thou, thou art I- Thou hast been subservient for too long! The you your heart projects hath been locked away much like a princess in a castle! It's time we forge a contract, and let the world watch the true you in awe!"
Atlas (Masquerade”): The third to summon their persona. Atlas is close to an abusive, manipulative man whom he keeps a secret for, unaware he’s being used. I’m not quite sure what the secret is currently. However, he finds himself accidentally pulled into the palace of his “friend” and finds out he’s being used and manipulated. And suddenly he’s ready to let the caged bird sing.
Zephyranthes: The Zephyranthes, or the rain flower, means "I will never forget you", black nightingales represent secrets, and the number 5 in numerology is connected to life changes. Also, the white rose in Atlas’s hair for his palace outfit symbolizes secrets.
Group shot of some of the characters apart of Six's coven!
A blurb of information below
Six (in the middle of the picture) is an ice witch who runs a coven in hiding as a business. In this world, mythical things are very real but must hide and avoid creating outbreaks lest they throw off the balance of things. He was raised in this hidden coven, who wishes to grow magic to being a larger force in the world once more. He has no name, only title. He doesn't know his own birthday, nor would he care to dig through the records for it. Instead, his close friends chose one and throw him a party to celebrate his new birthday!
I'm always down to hear questions about anyone in the picture or their world, I just want to avoid rambling too much!
.... I love my ocs a totally normal amount. Included info below!
Small info-dump:
The one on the left is my wife's character Six, who I may have made her fully flesh out with my love for him. He's an ice witch who runs a coven that operates far more like a business than a coven. He's analytical and has been forced to push everything about himself down from childhood in order to prove himself dedicated to lead their coven forward. He is the Sixth leader of this coven, taking on a name that is far more a title than anything else.
The one on the right is my character Rowan. He was a witch turned into a werewolf who was taken in by their coven before Six was born by the fifth leader. Six was tasked with taming said werewolf after years of Five becoming far too angry to deal with Rowan's wolf properly in order to prove himself a competent leader/problem solver. In my favorite versions of this tale of theirs, they end up growing stronger together. Rowan controlling his wolf, Six realizing it is in fact okay to feel things.
A horde of sketches thrown together of my oc (Rowan, the one as Phoenix) and my wife's oc (Six, the one as Edgeworth) as Edgeworth and Phoenix's sprites!
Done because we realized that her oc looks and kinda lowkey acts like Edgeworth as I was showing her the ace attorney games! (which are some of my favorites)
