Part 1

Nova:
I am a computer fortune-teller.
Welcome to my virtual reality.
You want me to tell your fortune too, right?
Then...


Please tell me your gender and your name.


First, we need to decide on a name and gender for our hero! We can enter six letters. After that, we'll be asked a series of questions that will determine our hero's "type". This will judge our base stats and the kind of guardians we get. Also, to speed things up, I'm going to give you our choice of partners available on the first playthrough now. Once you've beaten the game, you can unlock a fourth partner who has a rather different quest. If this thread is successful, I'll be doing that too.
(Incidentally, the female main character is allegedly Tamaki from Kuzunoha Detective Office, but since the main character is mute, this tenuous link to Persona doesn't have any bearing on the game.)


The easiest partner to get is Yumi. She offers the most simple game path and just wants to save everyone and get home.


After that comes Charlie, who puts you on the normal path plus the World of Anger. He's a punk just wants to escape.


The last and least obvious partner you can get is Reiko, who is involved with Hazama somehow and puts you on a path with a world related to him. This is the path I'm rooting for since it's the most interesting, and the story is pretty compact to begin with.

I'll take the name/gender combination I like the most, and the partner that gets the most votes after an arbitrary voting period.
