While I wait for Aquaknight to respond and introduce his characters to mine, should we do a scaling of how good our characters are at P4AU, and their mains? Just for fun, and it may help if our characters actually do start playing.
I'll start.
Rui
Main: Sho Minazuki (Persona) - 8/10
Sub: Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura - 7/10
10/10 I consider as big tournament finalists (like EVO).
Yes I love fighting games.

Also how many of you have been to an arcade in Japan? They usually have 4-6 machines per fighting game, all back to back. I remember I once went to a small one in Kyoto, and it had 6 Persona 4 Arena, 6 Blazblue, 4 Guilty Gear, and 4 Melty Blood, as well as two machines with all those games in the back that were intended for singleplayer.

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Arcade
Finally released from their grip, he took a few deep breaths before speaking normally again. It appears even more people were crowding around as well, also acquaintances of these two. Before that, everyone was raring and ready to play, the game was still set in character select at the moment, it looks like whoever was on the other side had left too. These arcade machines were like anywhere you would find in Japan, they'd simply be two machines back to back, so you wouldn't see your opponent on the other side. The feeling of it was great, no distractions, only the game. There were a few other machines here too, so around six people can play at any one time... The crowd forming around here was getting a bit much, he thought he spotted someone moving towards these machines, maybe it was his imagination though. However with the newcomers introductions were a polite formality required here, so he complied.
"It's nice to meet you all as well...I'm Rui Shinichi, your names are...?", he said, referring to the two newly arrived acquaintances. Sachiko was kind enough to mention his name to them, but he had yet to hear theirs.

Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Arcade
"Uhh... Squeezing too hard. Nice to meet you again too but, please let-... Oh god", he can see it. A girl, sprinting right over to them. He can see the intent in her eyes...
"GROUP HUG!"
Rui braced himself as best he could as another joined and turned this into a group hug. Between Noboru's strong grip and this girl, he was practically being squashed. This would feel better and more welcoming if it didn't feel like he was going to be killed. He didn't recognize the girl, as expected, he wouldn't be able to recognize everyone he met here immediately after all. Though Noboru being a friend back in his childhood before he moved, he remembered... A bit. Slightly. Well, just enough. As the girl asked her question, he responded with visible strain, being at the very middle of this group hug.
"R... Rui... Shinichi... Can. Can you two please let go now...?", he requested. Their grips only got tighter though, he hoped his request to let up would alleviate this.

I just stick to the way we do it in English.
Unless we're all speaking Japanese.

My backstory is a fresh plate.
There's not much to flesh out. So I hope to be as proactive as possible.

Some of us are in the first year too. I am for instance.
Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Arcade
Having moved back to this little town, Rui couldn't help but feel a bit at ease. It was a lot different to the bustling crowds of Tokyo, there were definitely less people here, and as a result it was a lot more quiet, but he was glad that at least it wasn't devoid of technology. He was surprised to find a decent arcade out here, then again... Warakuma has been growing and keeping itself afloat all these years, maybe it's not so bad out here. He has yet to start school yet, but apparently two days time is going to be his first day as a first year at Warakuma High. He's already finished moving his things in, he and his family did that across the last week. Right now he occupied himself with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, which he played from time to time while he was in Tokyo. It was good to know that they had one of these out here.
"Rui! I haven't seen you in forever!", is what he would hear, but his headphones were on, so the big bear hug that followed really took him by surprise. Fortunately he'd just finished a match, so he had time between character selection. Wide-eyed he turned to see who it was that was assaulting him... Oh, it was... Wait who was this again? He was friendly, he looks a bit familiar... Seen him in forever? Wait... That face is... Rui grabbed his headphones and slid them off his ears, and began to speak.
"Oh, Noboru. So you still live in this town huh?", he asked.
"Also you can... Let go now..."

Wanna break the universe Swordfish? Because my character will be playing Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
