Background info on your character:
Hahaha, okay, remember that one game about shooting yourself in the head so you can save the world from angry shadows and eventually become a wall? IT'S...TWO YEARS LATER FROM THAT. And boy, the shadows aren't done yet. They're in the TV! Maybe the people who think TV is bad for you are right all along. Anyway. The story follows one drywall but somehow likeable Seta Souji on his move from the BIG CITY to a small town called Inaba. Not long after settling in, the body of a news reporter is found hung upside down and--well, that shit doesn't happen here. And then a High schooler dies and hey, it's in the same pattern as the first murder. So what do three teens do? Er--accidentally hop their way into a TV and embark on a quest to save the people thrown in there before the fog from the TV world settles in OUR world and oops surprise you're dead.
*TAKES A DEEP BREATH*
Anyway, moving along, it seems there's a pattern between showing up on TV and showing up on the Midnight channel, which means IT'S TV TIME NO ADACHI NO. But the odd thing happens. Kanji appears on TV "before" he's kidnapped, which means that the group goes off to warn him HEY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KIDNAP YOU--he even gets talked to by the androgynous Naoto and takes it the wrong way (WHY IS A DUDE ASKING ME OUT DDD8) and eventually...scares off the party even though they were gonna warn him. And wouldn't you know it, Kanji shows up on the TV! And...man it wasn't flattering. Kanji's shadow, the 'true self', is this very ... very flaming wearing-very-little guy. He's pretty open about uh...wanting to ride the bologna pony express and so on and so forth--but at the root, that's not it. When finally confronted by the group, it comes out that Kanji likes things that a lot of girls find pretty unmanly, and it's not...that fun to be rejected because of something you like and grew up doing. Kanji just wants to be accepted! Which is what his shadow represents. Though after denying his shadow, battoru, and finally accepting it, Kanji can come to terms with who he is even if it's a part of himself he doesn't like.
Then he gets a kickass persona and joins the party!
While he has a hard time adjusting to the group, he becomes a huge asset to it. Eventually, they have camp funtimes in which Kanji sneaks over to Souji and Yosuke's tent and Yosuke is a jerk and Kanji goes and faints in the girls tent to prove his MANLINESS!! Also he had nosebleeds at seeing everyone in their swimsuits oh god was he looking at the guys or the girls who knows. But anyway, as time goes on he does get closer to everyone and they rescue Risette and Teddie please let me pet your fur. In his s.link, we discover just how much of a nice guy he is! While he's threatening on the outside, he goes out of his way to do kind things for a kid he's never met, just because he bonded with the fact that the kid was worried about fitting in. We also learn he's fantastic at sewing! He also gets hassled a lot by the police for just who he is, even though he wasn't doing anything--yeah, Kanji has kind of a not-fun life, but he toughs it out anyway. He also, like many people in Persona games, has daddy issues. His dad died and because of that, he has huge issues with hospitals.
Anyway moving on, they find out that the killer is (?!) Mitsuo, this freaky fish-eyed kid from their school who um runs into the TV. And is brought back out and basically confesses to the crimes on account of being a batshit crazy fuck. And the murders are resolved...!! Or are they. After Kanji has some smoochums with Teddie on the class trip (please god don't ask) the crimes resume! And this time it's NAOTO in the TVworld! OH CRUSH NO. And Kanji is very gung-ho about saving her :B;; And they do! AND YAY NAOTO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON THE TEAM ;A; LET ME BE AWKWARD AROUND YOU.
Anyway, more antics!
KANJI MAKES A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! Hotsprings! Lots of fun for everyone except for the fatties. But like in Persona games, when happy things are happy, that simply cannot be. Souji gets arrested by his own uncle who doesn't believe that monsters come out of the TV but then uhh since cells are cozy and nice and have television sets they see that Nanako was kidnapped instead. THANKS NAMATAME YOU'RE GREAT. Anyway since Dojima crashed his car trying to catch him Souji went off to save Nanako instead in TV land. Namatame is sort of crazy and thinks he's saving people but then again--yes, crazy. Once they get through uhhh heaven in TV world they confront him and it's...god fuck that shadow. Anyway, they win and save Nanako! Only she dies, only she lives again, DOJIMA PLEASE DON'T JUMP OFF THE HOSPITAL ROOF. ;A; YOU HAVE A REASON TO LIVE.
Anyway, there's two killers. Namatame was just one of them--but WHO is nutty enough to do the other murders? So after some deduction we find out the killer is
WHAT THE FUCK MAN GET YOUR ASS BACK TO DEATH NOTE AND CAP LIGHT INSTEAD. Turns out he's got some bizarro god-complex and ideals that involve HEY GUYS, LET'S ALL TURN INTO SHADOWS BEING MINDLESS WILL BE GRAND but the party's like lol no then he's stomped and MAN THAT FEELS GOOD Souji doesn't it feel great to win the game and not die and become a wall. But come March we know that there's a more supernatural force behind the Midnight Channel and everything and dude why would you ever want to bring the shadows back.
OH GOD PLEASE STOP EXISTING. And so it does! Thank you Souji and your sexy, sexy moves.
GOOD END. Aww chasing the train aww.
Personality-wise, Kanji is pretty...unique. There's no denying that Kanji gets angry easily and goes off on people a lot, regardless of whether they mean well or not. He's always on the defensive, probably because of his past and his issues with people being mean to him and such. He's a total tough guy and he's always willing to protect the people he cares about, though unfortunately he doesn't have the understanding to match his diligence. He's kind of a meathead at times, a bit slow to the punch but not totally stupid. A bit derp but he's actually a really kind guy.
...Onto that! Kanji has a difficult time expressing his softer side in a positive manner. (i.e. when he accidentally goes off on the Chinese Diner owner, he tries to turn his threat around into a good thing and it comes out completely...awkward) But his positive side is still there. Like I said before--he helped out a kid because he empathized with him, did nice things for him without wanting to be paid or anything. For the first time he was being accepted for his sewing abilities and even praised for it and that felt pretty good to him. Even with Souji helping him out, Kanji hasn't completely lost that rough side of him, but he's still a good guy on the inside and just wants to be liked and accepted for who he is.
Also yes he's post true-end but the sample is kind of a time paradox I guess. :(
Sample post: (First person point of view, please)
LISTEN UP, YOU BASTARDS!
One of you had to have taken them, so don't play dumb with me. U-urgh...don't play cute either. You see these? These are animal crackers. Take a good, long look at 'em. I've only got a few of these boxes with me, and I KNOW someone around here had to have snatched them up. Yes, I know it's just a box, but damn it, that doesn't give people an excuse to take shit from me!
I mean, whoever took them obviously doesn't know that these are limited edition and I have a better chance of finding that one in these boxes than I did before--and NO, you can't know what 'that one' is. How can you not know, it's kind of a big deal! Just shut up and tell me if you took them or not!
...Jeez, there goes another one. Maybe senpai was right about easing up a little bit.
But still, what the hell? First I'm going into the TV world and senpai wants to go back to that sauna--why the hell would he want to go back there, anyway? I--it's not like it changed or anything--and the next thing I know it's a beach. I knew that place was messed up, but this? This is seriously messed up and whoever's fault it is will get my foot up their-- Hey, what's
that? It's...kinda cute. And it's got something. C'mere, show me what you brought me--
