Why would your character make a good (or bad) phantom thief?

Quite frankly, Minato is going to be an absolutely shoddy phantom thief. He's the sort of person who, while he cares greatly about other people, doesn't have much in the way of enthusiasm or motivation when it comes to himself. Even for a wish, he's not likely to work all too hard to be a decent thief, not when so much of that depends on him being at least a little selfish.

Because honestly, he just does not know how to do that. Minato's selfless to the extreme. Even the thought of doing something that inconveniences someone else for his own sake will never really seem right to him. He'll only do thief-y things if it's for someone else's sake, which is an oxymoron to the extreme (especially since he is not near dashing enough to be a Robin Hood).

He can't even very easily go for said robin hood approach--because Minato's very much a non-judging person, which means that even stealing from really crummy people will feel wrong to him. They have the chance to become better people, don't they? He really does hold onto that. So how is he supposed to steal from anyone when he doesn't want to cause them any troubles or inconveniences? It's a mystery, really.

He's kind of lazy, extremely laid-back, and very, very chill. Things that are concerning to other people never even cross his mind as something to worry about. Wanted posters? Eh, they're there. The police, coming for him? It'll probably work out okay. He...doesn't have much in the way of strong feelings about most everything, sans his friends and the well-being of other people in general.

There is one aspect in which he might be a decent thief, at least; he's self-sacrificial to the extreme, which means he'll be more than willing to throw himself into the path of danger to help his fellow thieves. So that's something, right? Better than nothing, at least.

(But no, really, he's going to be a mess.)

Specialization: Gifter

Starter thief outfit: Outfit and mask from here!

Powers: Minato's a Persona protag, and with that comes the ability to summon all sorts of Personas. In Glymmer, he will naturally be restricted to the Personas he has on him, which can be found here. They can be restricted or pared down however's necessary! However, I'll be automatically assuming that summoning his Personas too many times will leave him exhausted--using them requires SP, and he only has a finite amount of that, after all!

He otherwise is competent in a variety of weapons--swords, gauntlets, spears, bows and arrows--but competent only in the sense that he kind of picked them up and did his best with them; he doesn't have any sort of formal training, or a particularly impressive technique.

While his Personas make him pretty tough compared to normal people, he is otherwise a very normal teenage boy; in comparison to trained fighters, he'll be at a very large disadvantage.
