Investigation Team

The newest group of Persona users trying to protect humanity. Currenly all residing in the Hawaiian island of Oahu, the group is a mix of old Persona users and new. Five of the members have been labled "chess peices" by the opposing group, Nuevo Mundo, and as each member has been kidnapped and thrown into a Gate, a white chess peice representing the person taken has been left at the scene of the crime along with a black chess peice to notify which Nuevo Mundo peice has done the taking.

Membership
While the members work closely with SkyBreak Industies as well as the former Persona users from the Inaba Incident and S.E.E.S, the current Investigation Team is comprised of 9 members; Maya Amano, Laura Reimei, Elena Ichihara, Atsuro Heiwajima, Roland, Mikial Pastor, David Sunterland, Fuuka Yamagishi and Michael Malarkey. However, only 8 of the 9 members have been labled by Nuevo Mundo as main "chess peices":

King - David Sunterland

Queen - Elena Ichihara

Bishop - Mikial Pastor and Michael Malarkey

Knight - Laura Reimei and Fuuka Yamagishi

Castle - Maya Amano and Roland

Currently, Atsuro Heiwajima has been pronounced dead and Maya Amano has had her soul returned to her body after a month of capture. Roland has recently turned turncoat, Elena Ichihara has lost her normal Persona temporarily to the Crawling Chaos - forcing her to use her Dark Persona - and Mikial Pastor has recently been murdered by the Black Knight Jeremiah.

Background
The current Investigation Team began to form when Atsuro Heiwajima was announced missing for a full week. Maya Amano, Elena Ichihara, Laura Reimei and Mikial Pastor entered into her Gate - which resided on the stage of the school's auditorium - and fought Atsuro's Shadow. Maya was the only Persona user at the time, however Elena was already skilled with a bow and Laura and Mikial were creative with their attacks via DIY pyrotechnics. Once Atsuro was able to accept her shadow and gain her Persona, she joined the ragtag team that saved her.

Later on Rolland, David, Fuuka and Micheal joined through a series of accidents and kidnappings. The team's tentative leader is currently Elena Ichihara thoguh it is still unsrure whether she took the roll on herself, the others voiced their will for her to lead or if the leadership simply appeared. Reguardless, Roland continually questions her leadership, causing deep anamosity between the two.

The team works part-time for Deveroux, the founder and head of SkyBreak Industries. The group also interacts on an almost daily basis with Mitsuru Kirijoand Yu Narukami.
