[ Character's Name ] : Tsukasa

[ History ] :
Here.

[ Personality ] :
Much of .hack//SIGN is based on Tsukasa's change in personality over the series. At the beginning, after he was first Data Drained, he lost most of his memories of his previous life, and between the remnants of the memories he had left and Morganna's warping, he became extremely lonely and arrogant. It's entirely possible the arrogance was a front for his uncertainty over who he really was. As the series goes on, though, Tsukasa gradually learns to trust others, and warms up to them. Through his new friends, he finds hope, and a reason to live.

Tsukasa is a very uncertain person. He's not entirely sure who he is, or if he really wants to know. Though he has learned the value and the strength of friends, he still has a tendency towards being alone and brooding. He used to think that other people were “selfish”, only doing things for their own gain, but his attitude has changed a good deal since he first started. Tsukasa is a very strong person, but insecure. He doesn't really recognize his own strength of heart most times, but when it comes down to when it's needed, he can be very determined and persistent. He has the courage to stand up to Morganna, and the courage to stop sitting around and do something about the problems in The World. Fighting against an omnipotent and omnipresent AI in a computer game is something that's reserved for people who really want to make a change, in both themselves and in the world around them. He cares about people, especially his friends, even if he might not admit it. However, if he's separated from the people he's built tentative connections with, he's likely to slide back into his old behaviors.

Though he doesn't remember everything from offline, the parts he does remember aren't very good, and he prefers not to think of his past, or his family. He does have a fondness for old movies, because the player behind him used to watch them with her mother, when her mother was alive.

As a person, Tsukasa's strength lies in his determination, and his loyalty. By the end of the series, while he may not be willing to sacrifice everything for other people, he's certainly willing to go to great lengths to protect them. However, Tsukasa can be extremely stubborn when he chooses to be. His loneliness has turned into arrogance sometimes, and he's still not entirely sure how to interact with other people. He still doesn't entirely trust people, and wonders why they would give up things for him, so he doesn't always ask for help when he needs it. He also has a tendency towards depression and isolation, which is understandable from his history, but sometimes leaves him vulnerable.

Also he loves cats. A lot. He rescued them in the real world as much as he could, and one of the reasons he probably followed Macha initially was because she was a cat.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :

Strengths:

- Very powerful magic (fire, thunder, darkness)
- Healing/support magic (less strong than offensive magic)

[ Other Important Facts ] :
Tsukasa is female offline, but doesn't know it yet. /o/ He was told that he might be but he doesn't know for sure. Also he has a very patchy memory. :( He can also, in theory, summon a Twilight Guardian, but no summoning in Vatheon. D8
