April: Scavenger/Unison + Applications

Hello, this is Kaidou Ren Izumi, co-leader of the reviving Art Squad (now called Art Guild) with a new prompt: Scavenger Hunt/Unison Attack!

Notice how I said “prompt” instead of “prompts”. For this month, you get to choose which of the two you want to do! Please read carefully below for each, and don’t forget to read everything else AFTERWARDS! (Also, props to Rodney for helping me with these ideas.)

You have until the end of this month to submit for this month’s prompt. Just make sure that if you do enter, add it in the Art Squad category WITH #ArtGuild. If you don’t have either of those hashtags and put it in the Art Squad category, it won’t count and will be removed. This is so that we can check who participated properly.

Scavenger Hunt

Basically, all you have to do is draw your favorite Confidant character* from any of the Atlus games!

(Bonus if you draw them with the specified protagonist and/or explain why you like that favorite Confidant character.)

*I’d actually appreciate it if you drew someone that’s non-playable, as the playable ones tend to get too much love nowadays.

Unison Unknown

WARNING: This is LONG!

Think of this prompt as the Unison Attack from Persona Q2, but with lore.

Basically, choose two characters from different Atlus games/timelines that would make a great pair (platonic, familial, romantic)!

-Don’t do pairs that already exist

For Makoto, I will use that name to refer to Nijima, not the P3 protagonist (he will be Minato).

PQ2’s Unison Pairs/Groups

Akechi x Naoto

Ryuji x Kanji

Ann x Chie

Yukiko x Yusuke

Yukiko x Haru

Mitsuru x Makoto

Shinjiro x Akihiko x Yusuke

Ken x Morgana x Ryuji x Ann

Morgana x Teddie x Koromaru

Rise x Haru x Aigis x Teddie

Makoto x Chie x Akihiko

Futaba x Rise x Fuuka

Ryuji x Yosuke x Junpei

AkiRen x Minato x Minako x Yu

-None of the Persona 4 Arena characters should be paired together for this prompt (because BBTAG is a thing)

That includes the timeskip versions of P3 characters

-Don’t even bother doing Velvet Attendants together (unless you include the ones from the first two Persona games, and don’t cheat by using Igor with any of them)

If you want to try Velvet Attendant x Protagonist, they have to be from different timelines (ex: Margaret x AkiRen, Yu x Lavenza, Minato x Justine, etc.)

As for Philemon, don’t pair him up with anyone from the first two Persona games (as that’s also cheating).

-Don’t do Persona (1) x Persona 2 pairs as P1 characters have timeskip designs

The only exceptions are Naoya, Masao/Mark, and Ayase, since those three don’t have timeskip versions

If you are unsure and/or you want to check if you can do a specific pair, ask in the comments.

Applications

I’ve decided to have applications open always, meaning if you want to apply for the Art Guild, you can do it anytime and you won’t have to worry about submitting it before a deadline. Questions below are slightly different from before, but all you have to do is answer them in a post. Just make sure that if you do apply, add #ArtGuild in the post OR IT WON’T COUNT. (The hashtags make it easier for me to check who applied.)

*If a post seems a bit much, then DM me your application. You can also DM me for further questions.*
