The Wild Hunt

What They Do

The Wild Hunt are a group of veteran Persona-users who first awakened twenty years ago, going on their own adventures. Uncompromising, ruthlessly efficient, and dedicated to a mysterious goal, they are the type of people to decide they know best, given their experience.

Each member of the Wild Hunt is a Hunter, with all the abilities that entails. They are tight-lipped about their goals and prioritizations, but they do believe in free will and 'saving people from themselves', no matter how dogmatic it may seem.

The Wild Hunt are likely to cross swords with any group who seeks to take agency from another individual, but they also assist in their own way, trying to save people from supernatural threats simply so they can live their lives. However, the method in which they do so can be patronizing, and they'll often try to take point over a joint operation if they have the opportunity.

Where They Came From

The Wild Hunt was first organized in Paris, France twenty years ago, a group of high school teenagers dealing with the supernatural phenomenon known as Foraines. Each member of the Wild Hunt awakened in one, and each member is highly experienced with how they work and how to deal with them.

The group does not talk much about how their original adventure that introduced them to the supernatural was handled, but it's clear it affected them greatly, and if the Foraines are back, one must wonder just how successful they were.

The Wild Hunt does not normally take new members. They are bound by a shared camaraderie of twenty years, and only allow in family, if even that.

Who They Are

  • Laurent Fontaine - The leader of the Wild Hunt, a history professor with a friendly, driven demeanor and a tragedy haunting him. Can be a huge nerd.
  • Ruzica Crvena - A mysterious member of the Wild Hunt, a teenager who the others nonetheless treat entirely as one of their own. Has a double identity at Shujin Academy as Ryuzaki Kurama. Likes snails and burgers, but not together.
  • Eveline Deschamps - The group's Navigator who runs a bar and bistro. Has an effortless cool and sense of style that bleeds into her work, where she's a consummate professional. Smokes cigarettes half out of style and half for the nicotine.
  • Vivienne Sournois - The group's weaponsmith and rogue who runs a classical cinema. Vibrant and personable, she moonlights as a master thief. May show anime on the big screen if she likes you.
  • Alain Wakamatsu - The group's baker, who seeks to instill happiness in others while also striving for it himself. Weary yet kind. Can make a mean croissant.
  • Isabeau Fontaine - Laurent's bastard daughter, recently rediscovered and revealed as a Hunter in her own right, is the rookie of the group. Loud and demanding, she often goes off on her own. Turns everything into a competition.
