Persona Name: Acedia
Persona Type: Initial Persona
Persona's Arcana: The Devil
Owner: Akira Akimoto
Persona Appearance: Acedia is dressed in tattered black hood and robes. His skin is grey and very loose, making it appear like a shaved mouse or a rat. To add credence to this, his face has small, mouse-like eyes, a wide mouth, and large rodent-like incisors. He also has unusually large feet and hands, which appear deformed in various manners.Acedia's hands have long fingers and razor-sharp nails. Its whole body is skinny and degraded, to the point that some parts of his body are nothing but bones. Though one would mistake it for a grim reaper variant of sorts, it has one quality that sets it different from the rest:
It has the lungs that would make some singers jealous.
Persona Background: Acedia is the personification of the phrase "Wallowing in despair." Its teeth and razor sharp claws are merely a complement to its real weapon: his wails.
In some cultures*, Acedia is a demon that wanders the graveyards. Whenever it's past midnight, one might hear the wails of the dead in an otherwise quiet graveyard. Acedia supposedly cries out the griefs, sadness, and regrets of the dead people, in an effort to either have the world hear it or to lure the people towards him. If at any event one tries to follow the wails to its source, one will find this demon in tattered robes and mouse-like teeth, and would you be unfortunate enough to look directly in his small eyes, you will be eaten. Or so the story goes.

--Fusion Attack: Fusion Attack Name: Wail of Regret
Persona Name: Acedia
Type of Damage: Dark
Description: Acedia appears behind Akira and temporarily takes over Akira's body to use him as an additional soul/spirit source. Both Persona and Persona User then stretches out ther arms and look to the heavens before delivering this ear-splitting scream. Fueled by Akira's deepest, darkest regrets and despair, this scream does Dark damage, along with a 10% chance to stun/paralyze, before Acedia disappears and returning Akira to his self. This, however, weakens Akira for a turn, his weakness being thrice effective for the next turn, though this returns back to its original stat after a turn.
By using Akira's body, Acedia's scream is able to be focused solely on what Akira deems to be enemies, thus saving his friends from its damaging effects.

Persona Name: Acedia

*There is nothing in recorded history to say that this story was true. I merely took this from a similar childhood scary story my grandmother used to tell me.
