The Major Arcana of the Tarot is a very essential part of the Persona series; each Arcana represents core traits, both for Personae as well as the people who inhibit the world. Every bond you forge with another character will have ties to a specific Arcana. Here, we've provided that list, as well as resources to help you decide (or further research) the various Arcana!

It's good to note that we've provided links both to the Megami Tensei wiki and Wikipedia, if for nothing more than the SMT/Persona interpretations of Arcana are modified quite a bit from the traditional Tarot. HERE you can find an overview of the Major Arcana. If you would like more information, this site is also a valuable resource.

( MAJOR ARCANA INFORMATION. )

Due to the plot-heavy nature of the game, a wide range of the characters from Persona 4 are considered to be major NPCs. Anyone may apply for them, however, those who do must keep in mind that they will have to commit time to the plot and work closely with the moderators in order to keep plots running smoothly. Below is an overview of the roles many of the Persona 4 characters will play in relation to the plot:

( PERSONA 4 NPCs. )

( VELVET ROOM NPCs )

Persona 3 characters harbor a similar role. Living P3 characters will arrive to Inaba via train - further detail on this will be distributed upon character's acceptance. They will be able to summon their Personae just as they could before; Caligo will not change the nature of their summoning. Deceased characters will arrive via the fog, much like original characters and panfandom characters. They will be used as a draw for the P3 characters to Inaba. Though their roles as NPCs are considered to be significantly less strenuous than that of the P4 characters, they are still extremely integral to Caligo's plot. Please keep this in mind if you're interested in applying for any NPC character!

The following characters are unable to be apped at Caligo. There are a variety of reasons for this, ranging from canon mechanics to future plots. They are as follows:

( UNPLAYABLE CHARACTERS. )

Any characters not listed above are still, of course, playable in the game, though their roles will serve a different purpose. Please contact the mods if you have any questions regarding either applying for an NPC or an unlisted Persona 3/4 character!

Please note that Persona 4 characters who are currently not being played by others will be active as mod-controlled NPCs in the interim!
