heh, "is she evil?" you wonder....
I know that Junpei had a Persona called Hermes in Persona 3, but I'm still gonna use Hermes as my answer anyway because Junpei's Hermes didn't seem to have a lot to do with the whole speed and trickster thing that I'm led to believe the original Greek god had going on.
Though I wouldn't consider myself either nimble on my feet nor having that sharp a mind, they're both traits I'd like to have. So pretending that's what I'm like is basically what a Persona's for, right? Yeah let's go with that.
I'd be okay still having the Hermes design from Persona 3 though.

Actually, that's what I plan to do, so you're good.The Wykydtron said:
OT: I'd say I'm of the Hermit arcana. Introspection, philosophy, solitude, etc etc. I've actually been looking up several different mythologies for something I plan to make, Haitian Vodou especially. I like the aquatic world, but being unwilling to do anything outside the norm and being really indecisive are issues of mine. Personas are tied to your personality and getting a Persona means getting over your issues, so I think a good Persona for me would be Met Agwe. Met Agwe is a Loa, a powerful Vodou spirit, that lives in a palace under the sea and is said to give inspiration to those who are stuck and help those that are lost find their way. I don't know what he looks like, but given that I'm on electronic devices a lot, I'd think he'd wear something that's partly based on the digital world and partly based on the sea. Maybe like a naval dress uniform, but with Tron lines, blinking lights, the "Power button" symbol, etc etc. His colour scheme would be naval blue for a background colour with sea-green as a secondary colour and white as trim and detail, sticking true to the colours of the Agwe family of Loa.
Lot of people just picking out characters they think are cool here...
In my case, I find a decent match for both my personality and outlook in Hephaestus, the smith (although there are some noted departures in his background). The ability to craft things has always appealed to me more than just about anything else, and the image of a solitary blacksmith likewise strikes a chord.

Sun Wukong, because I'm just as incapable of taking anything seriously as he is, and I have no more respect for any gods than he does.
I have been described as being "the internet". Not "like the internet", but the actual manifestation of the internet in human form.
Though I really see myself as more of a puckish rogue.

Probably Seth, the Egyptian god.
Though I'm usually calm, certain things can just drive me to insane fits of rage. That coupled with the fact that I tend to do a lot of everything on a whim makes me feel like he connects with me.
....Yeeeah. Let's go wit' that.

I'm going with Hermaeus Mora, he is a figure who aligns quite well with my thinking.
The Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory; his sphere is the scrying of the tides of Fate, of the past and future as read in the stars and heavens. He is not known for being good or evil, but he seems to be the keeper of both helpful and destructive knowledge.
This would leave me free to pursue basically any goals I see fit without morality getting in the way and also keeps me free from having to commit any pesky evil deeds. Having knowledge and controlling fate is way more appealing than raw power to me.

Let's see, a good-natured person, who'd rather fight with his mind than physically... I got it!
I am thou, thou art I, from the sea of your soul, I come..
Eye Reaper has awoken to the true bond of friendship. He can now utilize his persona: King Graham of Daventry!

Although, If we are operating by Persona 4's logic, I'd hate to see my shadow/world I'd create. My mind is a horrifying creature, I believe. And it would most likely bump the games rating to AO, which would hamper the sales immensely. And this is why I'll never be DLC.

I ask myself this so many times x.x
Um... Maybe a Rathalos from Monster Hunter? Yeah, let's go with that

Headsprouter. Again. But how does it relate to me? Well...I got nothin'. Better idea. Jacques from Spyro, back when Insomniac was running the show:
Beware, he likes to throw boxes and lives in a hellish realm of Armoured Horrors and, erm...Giant Pansies. Rather Headsprouterlike critters, actually...and my rl name is Jack, sooo...
Yeah, let's just say he's me if I were the boss of the Dream Weavers!

I would like something Lovecraftian, maybe Cthulhu or Nyarlathotep or the Colour, but too be honest I'm just not that evil.
So I'll go for the next weirdest fictional universe: Discworld!
Either that, or...
Incase the images don't work, it would either be Great A'tuin the Cosmic world turtle, or Death (or rat Death. He's in the picture as well). They are both appropriate for me in some way.

Mine would be Persephone, Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld, because Persephone was unknowingly doomed because of the food she ate, but sometimes she gets to emerge from Hades and be free again.
That pretty much describes my life for the past several years; I didn't discover I had celiac disease until it had seriously damaged my body, and I didn't discover that I couldn't tolerate *all* grains (as well as processed high glycemic index fruits, potatoes, and sugar) properly until I spent several months suffering from sometimes severe cataplexy brought on by my carb intake.
Life is better now than it used to be, but I still often feel like Persephone. And expose me to so much as a particle of gluten and I'll be right back in pure Hades again -- six weeks until the (agonizing) reaction stops, six months for full recovery from all the damage.
(And yes, this is where I got my handle idea, too. But I actually thought of Persephone as my Persona/totem ever since I first played Persona 4, before I used it as a handle too.)

Pick a god of Chaos, any one of them will do because in essence they're all the same thing. But as far as a personal aspect, Loki. Mischief is chaos, chaos is necessary for order to exist.
Way ahead of you.The Wykydtron said:
My Persona? Well, I could see it being this young lady:
Now, while those images are kinda odd, I'll explain (seeing that some are wanting some soul searching in this thread).
In her source material, Furiae is a young woman charged with carrying the burden of the seal of the world on her shoulders. Should she falter, or die, the world will end. She's not allowed to express her feelings, and as the Seal, her only actions in life are to offer prayers to ensure the safety of mankind. Not allowed to marry, have kids, nothing. So, this young lady is charged with devoting her life to her seal, with no regards to her feelings, and is essentially treated like an object the whole damn time. So, when she dies, and is brought back to life, the results... They're not pretty... At all. All of those feelings she repressed up to that point are brought into your face. All of her bad feelings are brought to the boiling point, and she's a monster. It's scary, it's twisted, but it's undeniably HER.
It's really funny, I used to hate her in game, but the more I look at her, the more I see myself in her. Maybe that's why I used to hate her so much. Furiae kinda embodies the biggest problem I have with myself, my inability to express my feelings to people around me. It's not so much that I don't feel them, nor do I not understand them, rather, I hide them because I'm afraid of causing trouble for those around me. I feel bound by the expectations/wants of my family: Go to college, get a good job, do better than us, don't get pregnant like your siblings, etc. I fear failure so much, that failing a class (the first time EVER in my entire academic career), feels like I killed somebody, and am hiding the body. Even though I can re-take the class, I feel like if I told my family, I'd be considered less for it. While the reality isn't probably that, I still haven't said anything about it to my parents either.
And it's not just that. It's pretty much anytime I get upset. For example: I don't like people seeing me cry, so I put on a mask and try to act stoic even though I feel like crap; and go to be alone to cry or vent out my feelings. I bottle up my bad feelings and when they finally burst out on whoever's around me, it's a mess... but it's undeniably me.
Funnily enough, I would have said Persephone as well, (devotion to family meets struggles with obligations and other things), but someone else already grabbed her...
(also, edited slightly for clarity)
Dionysus would fit me pretty well. I like wine and am not unfamiliar with what could be called ritual madness.
