I have some vague ideas for possible au lives, but I'm not too sure which direction I want to go.
I'm thinking either I mirror the canon a little and have him be the neglected child of wealthy parents who care more about their fancy sports cars than their son. In this case, he's probably filling his time with various clubs and school activities. An honor student, on the student council, always willing to stay after school and help out his classmates and teachers, etc. Because maybe if he excels enough that will get his parents' attention. He'd definitely notice the depressing parallels as his memories return. But it would be easier for him to put this life to the side and focus on the mission.
Or I could go the other way and he's got a poor but loving family who supports him. He probably still gets good grades at school and goes out of his way to help his classmates, but is involved in less clubs and formal activities. The spare time here is probably filled with a part time job because obviously he wants to help make ends meet. He's a lot happier in this version, and less insecure, but just as hard a worker. But overall it will make his returning memories seem like a burden, and they'll be much harder to accept.
Like I said, I'm still mulling over my options. Suggestions are appreciated, and not limited to these two ideas. Thanks!
(Persona wise I'm thinking combatant with wind/light? I really haven't given it much thought yet. orz)
