IC Information:
Name: Kanji Tatsumi
Fandom: Persona 4
Timeline: September 18
Age: 15
Appearance:
Standing at 6 feet (183 cm) tall, Kanji has a rather imposing figure for his young age. His build is trim but it's sculpted with muscle, particularly in his chest and arms. He has an all-around rough look to him, his skin covered in scars gained from street fights (an especially notable one at his left temple), numerous ear and facial piercings, and a tattoo of a skull-and-crossbones on his left arm. He keeps his short hair bleached platinum blonde and swept back away from his face. His expression is typically frozen in what seems to be a permanent scowl. He makes his own clothes, favoring a punky look with a classic greaser twist. Around his neck he always wears a bullet on a chain.
Abilities:
Physically, Kanji is very strong. He's had years of practice beating the crap out of gang members, and when he's not using his bare hands, he loves to pound the shit out of people and/or monsters with large blunt objects such as (seriously) school desks. Kanji also commands Take-Mikazuchi, his Persona, with an affinity for lightning-based and physical attacks. The spells he'll be capable of using currently are: Rakujaja, Kill Rush, Mighty Swing, Cruel Attack, Zionga, Mazionga, Elec Boost, and Elec Break. Take-Mikazuchi and Kanji both are weak to wind-based attacks. (+)
Combat aside, Kanji is artsy and creative, although most people never learn this about him. He's an expert tailor and also skilled at knitting. He's good with his hands in general, really. His work can often be very meticulous and detailed, and he dabbles in all sorts of crafts.
Personality:
Outwardly, Kanji isn't all that different from your typical hooligan. He's loud, abrasive, hot-tempered, violent, and not all that bright. He's used to solving all of his problems with his fists and has a hard time behaving himself even in the best of times. This offensive (or is it really defensive?) attitude serves to desperately conceal a softer side to Kanji. In reality he has a kind and gentle-- even sensitive-- heart. Even though his tough attitude can be scary at first, he's far from cold. If he suspects he's actually hurt someone then he'll apologize and do his best to reassure them and make them feel better. He's slow to befriend but once he's formed an attachment to someone, he is endlessly loyal to them.
Beyond all that, he has some rather "effeminate" traits which he's terrified of revealing to the world. Namely that he's actually very artistic and loves to sew, and also that he finds himself attracted to some men, leading to a suppressed suspicion that he might be gay. He buries that side of himself and refuses to acknowledge it, to the point of overcompensating. He's obsessed with being a "real man" and continues to struggle with his sexual identity even after confronting and accepting his Shadow. Because of his own complicated issues, he's surprisingly tolerant and respectful when it comes to the emotional turmoil of others. And rather than lash out when someone isn't tolerant of him, he recoils and flees the scene before anyone gets a chance to see how deeply hurt he actually is.
History:
Kanji was born in the small town of Inaba, Japan, on January 19th, 1996. His parents owned and operated a textile store in the town's shopping district, and from them Kanji inherited a love of fabrics and sewing which would lead to future torment and mockery by his peers at school. Even Kanji's father seemed to think his hobbies were too effeminate. Shortly before he died, Kanji's father told him to "be a real man". He was insulted by those words at the time, since he believed it to be a criticism, but they haunted him for years to come.
After his father's death, both Kanji's personality and appearance changed. He focused on making himself as masculine as possible and pushed back any habits or desires which might be considered even remotely girly. He became notorious for getting into fights when he was in middle school and was well-acquainted with the local police by the time he got into high school.
Kanji's name became associated with gang activity when he started beating up the town's biker gangs because the noise they made disturbed his mother's sleep. Nearly everyone mistakenly believed he was a member of one of these gangs, and he was even featured on a news special about them. Following the broadcast, a young detective named Naoto Shirogane approached Kanji to ask him a few questions, which Kanji misinterpreted as flirting. Nevertheless, Kanji agreed to spend the afternoon with the boy... only to have their conversation interrupted by some stalkers from school that Kanji promptly chased off with threats of violence.
His fifteen minutes of fame on TV led to his being targeted by the serial killer behind the mysterious murders in Inaba during his freshman year of high school. Kanji was kidnapped and thrown into the TV world, where he was confronted by his Shadow. With all of his repressed insecurities broadcast on the Midnight Channel, he refused to accept the part of him that was sensitive, effeminate, and homosexual. Because he denied it, the Shadow turned on him and attacked. If not for the intervention of Souji Seta and the rest of the investigation team, Kanji would have been killed. When the battle was over, Kanji finally understood that he had to face that part of himself. He accepted the Shadow in his heart, and from it his Persona was born.
After his rescue, Kanji expressed interest in joining his senpai in their quest to hunt down the serial killer. He was welcomed into the investigation team and throughout the rest of the year aided in several rescue missions, the latest of which being of the boy detective, Naoto; a mission Kanji has been undertaking with grim seriousness and fierce determination.
