Character: Jun Kurosu
Series: Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Character Age: 17
Canon:
In modern-day Japan, there is a city called Sumaru, and in it a mysterious figure known as the Joker grants people’s wishes for the price of their dreams and 'ideal energy' -- a person's ability to have hopes and dreams. This causes them to become things called ‘Shadow people’ and slowly lose their sense of identity before literally fading out of existence. The protagonists fight to put a stop to the Joker using a manifestation of their inner selves known as ‘Persona’. Jun, one of the heroes, joins the party near the end of the game.
Jun is soft-spoken, polite and is probably the sweetest person ever when it comes to his friends. But if you were to look deeper, you’ll soon realize that Jun is really rather messed up. His personality is a cluster of contradictions; he’s jaded, but tries his best to be optimistic, and no matter how nice he is to his friends, or how much he loves and wants to help humanity as a whole, he’s usually antisocial and can be downright ruthless. He's basically a giant bag of issues. Jun is also a lover of plants and flowers everywhere, and sometimes even uses their language to convey his words. He tends to wear a slightly creepy smile when he talks about flowers, and uses a cryptic tone when he offers flowers to certain people, which gives the wrong impression of nefarious hidden agendas.
Sample Post:
When I was told that the flora in the camp needed tending, I already expected them to be in bad condition, but what I’ve just witnessed was much worse than what I’ve imagined...or so I originally thought. Everything is practically dead but the ones that are still alive look rather unique, and are definitely worthy of research. I’m rather curious as to what species a certain tree could be for it to grow undergarments. Overall, this feat of reviving all the plants and flowers would be an extremely difficult one, but I’m sure I’ll be able to manage. Somehow. From what I managed to gather from the residents of camp, apparently their method for tending the plants hasn’t exactly been ideal since, I quote, ‘The director is a cheapskate’, and wouldn’t even spare extra funds for proper fertilizers, so the current caretakers were forced to use natural fertilizers such as human waste and the corpses of the zombies as substitutes.
I guess I could understand why she’d lower the priority of gardening since it does look like there are other aspects of the camp that require more attention, but I still believe that there’s a certain relaxing quality about flora that shouldn’t be ignored. Lavender, for example, helps calms the nerve, and rosemary has always been known to help improve memory, so that should be beneficial to a place of learning such as a summer camp. But ah, there are some problematic plants here, aren’t there? Although things such as those mischievous vines could be dangerous to the more docile people, I’m rather torn on the subject of attempting to get rid of them. I’ve always believed that plants have minds and ones that can actually act on their own are to be considered a valuable work of art, and it would be a shame to destroy them.
Now I wonder if I could do something to persuade the director to change her mind concerning the gardening budget, as those plants do deserve much better treatment than they currently have. Perhaps I’ll write a letter and send it along with a flower. There’s an assortment I could choose from. How about a Snowdrop? It’s a simple little flower, yet it could convey both my hope for her to see my reasons for trying to preserve the plant life, and as a consolation for the loss of her fiancé. Or maybe a dahlia? To appeal that the director is an elegant woman filled with dignity. One who will probably be sensible enough to make the right decision. Ah, but it’ll probably be difficult to find those flowers here, so I should settle for the classic rose…perhaps with a twist.
Now please, moogle, deliver this to the director for me. Oh, but try not to touch the thorns. The results might be... unpleasant.
