The protagonist is a high school student who comes to live in Tatsumi Port Island. During his stay there, he attends Gekkoukan High School and learns of the existence of S.E.E.S, an organization comprised primarily of Persona users who come from Gekkoukan. The main priority of S.E.E.S. is to eliminate Shadows, and investigate the phenomenons known as Tartarus, an impossibly large tower that appears at the location of Gekkoukan every night at midnight, and the Dark Hour, an extra hour that takes place between midnight and 1 A.M., which only those who have the potential to use Personas are conscious during. After awakening to the potential of his Persona on his first day on Tatsumi Port Island, the protagonist joins S.E.E.S. and helps them to eliminate Shadows and learn more about the strange occurrences plaguing the area.
In the climax of ''Persona 3'', the main protagonist chooses to sacrifice himself to become a seal for the game's antagonist, Nyx, and prevent it from reuniting with Erebus and bringing about The Fall, destroying all of humanity. To achieve this, the protagonist turned himself into a seal that stood in front of the door between Nyx and humanity, as seen in the epilogue for ''Persona 3'' playable in ''Persona 3 FES''. Because of this, the ''Persona'' fandom has taken to referring to the protagonist as "Door-kun", due to his only role in the story being essentially a lock on the door to Nyx.

Origin

In the climax of Persona 3, the main protagonist chooses to sacrifice himself to become a seal for the game's antagonist, Nyx, and prevent it from reuniting with Erebus and bringing about The Fall, destroying all of humanity. To achieve this, the protagonist turned himself into a seal that stood in front of the door between Nyx and humanity, as seen in the epilogue for Persona 3 playable in Persona 3 FES. Because of this, the Persona fandom has taken to referring to the protagonist as "Door-kun", due to his only role in the story being essentially a lock on the door to Nyx.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

A DLC costume for Mii Swordfighter based on the Protagonist is available for purchase in Ultimate. This changes the sword trails to blue, hearkening back to the aesthetics of Persona 3.
