I really hope this is one of several characters and not the MC. I like the idea that since it is a side chain that is broken on the website, it will be a series of characters shown leading to the actual MC in time. Atlus likes to throw little twists and traps to the fans, and this falls perfectly in line with that.
If the MC ends up being the character from arena, fine, though in this day and age I'd prefer to see them get away from their old school "main character protag is a blank no-personality shell you cannot really customize". I'd still be ok with not having said customization, but dangit.. with DLC and microtransactions why wouldn't you? Atlus seems to love doing reskins as a way to generate content/money quickly and cheaply so I would have expected no less with P5, the most anticipated game of their roster.
