Irresponsibly ruthless words fill this town but
Never more, will a painful voice flow by

"Nightly dance of bleeding swords, reminds me that I still live.
I will burn my dread.
I once ran away from the god of fear, and he chained me to despair.
I'll break the chain and run 'till I see the sunlight again.
I will burn my dread.
This time I'll grapple down that god of fear and throw him into hell's fire."[/center]
Those days we spent casually are bidding farewell to us
As we lose those irreplaceable days

I won’t forget those days that I spent with everyone precious to me
Never more, will I be alone even in the darkness

Personality:
At first, Minato may come across as a distant, somewhat cold person; a young man of few words, who is polite and to the point. Really, even once you get to know him a little more, there's not much about this that changes. He prefers to play the role of a silent observer, though he takes enjoyment in it - in seeing the people around him laugh and live, especially those closest to him. There is little Minato wouldn't do for those people, be it fight to protect them, or listen to their troubles.
Sometimes, he comes across as someone who 'has all the answers' -a sometimes unwelcome trait- usually doing his best to help others through their problems. To this end, he is very observant, carefully considering what a person may or may not need to hear, whether they need his silence, or his voice to help. Though he is skilled at choosing words carefully and usually minimally, Minato can be quite blunt, and may not always sugar coat his words if he doesn't think it will help someone.
He is a very self-assured person for someone his age, though by no means arrogant or overbearing about it. At times, this sets him apart from others, making for that first impression of 'distance' and 'coldness'. This is also, though, what allows him the calm confidence to reach out to others when they reach out to him. Though he may seem lazy and withdrawn, he will take the initiative when it is called for.
His detachment from others isn't only skin deep, however. While he will never turn away from a friend, he has moved often, and therefore views himself as this 'constantly moving piece' that will simply pick up and move again. He doesn't mind this, necessarily, as it gives him this vantage point as a constant 'outsider', which is interesting enough... the problem being, that he rarely ever felt like he was someone "on the inside". Moving to Iwatodai was the beginning of that change, though...
Being around other people so much, getting to know them, it made Minato grow in ways he hadn't even considered. Genuine surprise, and happiness, and contentment, warmth and friendship. Even the loss and sadness. He hadn't expected this...
Timeline:
Post-Seal. Minato is, for the most part, aware of everything that happened, as well as acting as the Seal for... well, he can't recall 'time' while he was in that form.
History:
Orphaned at a young age, Minato was moved around through various family members, some of whom were kind and helpful, others resentful and quick to send him on his way. For the most part, he tried his best to keep quiet, and not to disturb others as best he could. He took solace in music, somewhere off in his own little world with his headphones on, where he wouldn't bother anyone, and wouldn't be bothered.
It went on like this, until he was old enough to be on his own, and his aunt and uncle he'd been staying with for the past two years helped send him on his way to Iwatodai. There, Minato slowly fit in as if he'd finally found his matching pieces, the puzzle he was a part of. Was it because this was the place where, years ago, his parents had died?
Or because this was where something else inside of him knew its pieces were, too?
Whatever the case, Minato quickly found himself the appointed leader of SEES, recruited to fight Shadows wielding the power of Persona and exploring Tartarus during the Dark Hour, as only few were capable of. Slowly, he and his newfound allies, his newfound friends put the pieces of this elaborate, dark puzzle together. Yet, sacrifices were made. Dear friends lost. Even their apparent enemies, Strega, who Minato knew he had every right to hate and blame, were not entirely faultless, were they? They, too, had been wronged by the madness of men years ago.
Who was right, who was wrong... The betrayal of Ikutsuki seemed like the beginning of the end of their ignorance and innocence. Who was right? Who was wrong? It didn't matter to her, to Nyx. She would come, as Ryoji told them she would. Without mercy or malevolence, she would come and destroy everything. And he himself had helped it happen. Coming to Iwatodai, fighting Shadows, harboring Death inside of him, leading it to its missing pieces...
Should he blame himself? There was no answer for Minato. Only action, only response. Whether it was his responsibility, his fault or not, his only option was the same. And so, in those final moments, as Nyx descended upon them all, his decision was sealed, and with it, he locked away the voices of the many people of his home who cried out for Nyx to end it.
They know not what they want.
What did he become after that? Floating in the abyss before a slumbering entity, keeping the monstrous form of those pleading voices at bay... Was he like a god himself? Nothing quite so sentient or aware, just... there, watching, the constant observer as always in a nightmare, or a dream-like place. Both and neither. Waiting... watching... waiting...
What was he waiting for? Could he stay like that forever? They weren't questions he pondered in that state, but only as consciousness slowly came to the edges of his frayed mind. Awakening from a timeless slumber that was not quite slumber. Did his Seal fail? Did too much time pass, did he not have the power to go on for eternity? The answers had been known to him at some time, but now, in this all-too-familiar place, they were unclear. Did Erebus finally rip his Seal asunder? Was he dead and dreaming of what he had always wanted... returning to this place... to his friends...
I will find it, that precious thing that I lost
Never more, because I’m sure your voice will guide me

Those important words that I once believed in when I was young

Friends:
SEES, the majority of S.Links to some level, which he's not always entirely clear on. Some of the memories seem to be hazed over, so he might have very well maxxed them all out, but the 'time-space anomaly' may have messed things up a bit.
