If Shirou Emiya had/could acquire a Persona from the Persona series, what do you think it would be like?
Each of the 3 (current) modern mainline Persona games kind of has a theme.
- Persona 3 characters, be they members of S.E.E.S./The Shadow Operatives, usually have a Greco-Roman theme. And they are used via the Evoker, as it involves accepting Mortality, fitting Persona 3's theme of Memento Mori
- Persona 4's Personas are from Shinto-Japanese mythology, and are gained via facing your Shadow, basically a monster made of everything you deny about yourself
- There is the special case of Labrys from Persona 5 Arena, who gained her Persona the P4 way, but it is a Greco-Roman figure of Ariadne, and she joins up with the Shadow Operatives (the grown-up P3 cast)
- Persona 5's Personas are all based on Folkloric Tricksters and Rebels in their first forms, then in their Ultimate forms, they become Mythological Tricksters that were either cast from Heaven or went to/are associated with the Underworld. They are gained by accepting the rebel within.
So with all this in mind, what can we come up with for Shirou?
I personally take out Persona 5's method first, because while his Sword + Bow weapons fit the rest of the Phantom Thieves having a melee and ranged weapon combo, and Persona 5 does go into the topic of Justice here and there, fitting Shirou's "Hero of Justice" thing, but "Rebellion" isn't really his thing, or at least it isn't a part of his story.
But in terms of options,
My two ideas were either:
A. King Arthur, referencing his bond with Artoria and Avalon within him. It would have Light (Hama/Kou) as its main element
or
B. Muramasa, referencing Shirou being his Pseudo-Servant vessel in FGO. It would have Fire (Agi) as its main element.
But no matter which one he gets, in terms of stats, I would say he would lean more towards physical moves and high Attack/Endurance stats, like Chie in P4 and Ryuji/Skull in P5
Haven't really thought of what good Ultimate Personas would be, though.
