The fact that Toru was applied and written with a limited understanding of the Hermit arcana has come back and bitten me in the ass. I finally realized this weekend that I have NO FUCKING CLUE concerning his character trajectory, since it's full of uncertain/unstable scenarios, characters that I have no insight into the development/behavior of, and

Writing directly from the arcana isn't exactly a bowl of udon either. You end up with metaconcepts that are supposed to show up in your game, but don't really, and not much of a character. Not that I'd know.

Actually, I was totally expecting the P3 hermit to be a hikkikomori instead of a teacher, because there are some gossipers who mention a hikkikomori right around the time when it opens up...

Anyway, Mads can potentially help. Potentially.

Ooof. Yeah, Toshimi hasn't been a walk in the park, has she?

But ultimately, a teacher makes more sense than a hikkikomori. Since she had both the isolation and the role as a mentor, rather than just the isolation. IDK, it makes sense to me.

...and then there's the fox, which barely counts as a social link. It's not like there's any development with the thing; the whole Hermit path is just complete filler.

I hope you can help. I need it. Badly.

YHLOTHAR METACONCEPTS THAT HAVE YET TO ACTUALLY SHOW UP. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY.

I mean, you could just have him become a mentor to someone. In...otakudom. Or...I dunno, something. I think you could make it work. He already does serve as "protector of the noobs" online IIRC.

...yeah, I thought the fox thing was kinda dumb. ALL YO YENS.

[ansemaru]

It wouldn't be a problem if people could take your word for it, I suppose...

Maybe, but... is that almost... cheap? I dunno, something about it doesn't ring true to me.

ALL YO YENS

[madsie]

It would be cheap if you didn't do it right, yeah. But it might be possible for it to be good...maybe.

I HAVE NO DESIRE TO CATCH THE GUARDIAN
THE GUARDIAN CAN BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS.

...maybe. I'd have to be pretty damn creative to pull it off.

SCREW FISHING.
