▶ PHANTOM THIEF
As a Phantom Thief, Ren gains the ability to switch to his Phantom Thief outfit (codename: Joker) with a snap of his fingers (normally, a change this would require being in the Metaverse).
Turning into Joker gives him increased endurance. Attacks that would normally kill or badly harm someone might just be incredibly painful for them (so basically, the difference between bleeding to death from a wind attack, vs feeling like someone punched you really hard in your gut).
He is above average build and strength, enhanced thanks to his Persona skill and his intense workouts over the year of becoming a thief, but Ren's true skill is his inhumane agility. He can almost cartoonishly move from one place to another without being seen, and is the very definition of a gentleman thief, here today, already gone when you show up.

▶ WILD CARD PERSONA USER
The Wild Card Ability represents the number zero.
In the Persona universe, its infinite possibilities is represented by the arcana Fool (later World or Universe) tarot card, and lets Ren summon his alternate selves (called Personas) made manifest in flesh and magic. In the Persona universe, gods and demons are creations of humans - as long as humans believe in them, they exist. As a result, Personas are those gods and demons made flesh and used as a tool to fight (both good and bad.) As a Wild Card, you could say that Ren is a more powerful version of a normal Persona user, who can usually only manifest their closest alternate self compared to multiple aspects of a user.
To summon a persona, Ren tears off his mask (see his Phantom Thief power) and the persona manifests in blue flames and light. Because of his current timeline placement, Ren will be coming with his Persona, Satanael and it's four innate skills, with the later ones being added during power upgrades later on in the game, if applicable.
The Persona also makes him stronger against the following elements; nuclear, wind, electrical, ice, fire, physical and gun attacks and psy. It also nullifies any 'holy/light' attack and absorbs 'darkness' attacks. These are mostly persona type spells, any non Persona characters that have powers that fall under this umbrella would be discussed how much this want this to work with Satanael (or not).

▶ THIRD EYE
This is something that 'Igor' (Yaldabaoth) granted him, but it has been changed for MoM a little. Usable both as a PT and not, it is activated when Ren places his hand on his forehead and just has to think about it. BAM instant color-coded vision that makes him able to do his Phantom Thieving a lot easier.
- Stealable items gain a yellow glow / MoM modification: This allows him to see things he could steal as a PT, or special items someone might be hiding (with the other player's permission).
- Intractable places like gaps and ledges have exclamation marks over them.
- Overworld shadows gain a glowing outline that depends on how threatening they are. Hardest ones gain a red outline, medium ones gain a yellow one and the least dangerous encounters glow with a blue color. / MoM modification: This would be a way to gauge how powerful other heroes are instead, fellow heroes might show up as red, normal citizens might show up as blue.
- Third Eye can be used to examine on-screen locations that can be used for daily activities. So for example, his third eye could be used to spot the best fish in a lake and be able to efficiently catch one of the bigger ones, or he could use it to be able to strike with a bat and score a home run.
- When Ren starts to form a friendship with someone, they become a Confident. The Third Eye shows their arcana card above them. This can be used to find them more easily.
