dat huge character survey
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? He's about average height and on the wimpy side of skinny.
2. How old is he? conveniently an NPC with no age given BUT I'm assuming he's about the same age as the Investigation Team, so he's around 16.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? He stands pretty straight up, actually.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? mouth breathing Average. Nothing of note.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? He's very tense. All the time. Kind of jerky in movement, I suppose.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? god, um. Well, you see, he kind of has these bizarre eyes. Because not only are they kind of widely set, the irises are black. Fisheye McGee. It makes him look pretty awkward overall. He also has an awkward beauty mark and awkwardly full lower lip for some reason, because he is the buttmonkey of the game so he had to look as ridiculous as possible right? Conclusion: sometimes his features are absurd and weird looking, sometimes he manages to not look like a dead fish. Rarely.
He tries to convince himself that he is not awkward looking, but he doesn't like how he looks at all.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Pale.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. Dark. Plain. Messy.
9. What color are his eyes? Fish.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? See above lolol.
11. What are his chief tension centers? His hands I guess........ since he plays too many video games.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit? Out of uniform, apparently, horrifically bright tees with video game logos and stuff on them. Nerd. Also jeans. Lazy and casual.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them? Yep.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences? He wears a school uniform....
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? ADDING THIS TO THE LIST OF THINGS I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT it's probably boxers with little 8-bit pictures on them though.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? He's kind of. Nasally-screechy. Uh.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? ALL LOUD ALL THE TIME. Unless he's having an episode, then he's a lot more subdued.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? Lots of exclamations! Calling people bastards! Shut up!!
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? Japanese.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? No.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? God he just talks.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? He just kind of goes. I don't think there's much brain-to-mouth filter there.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart? He knows all the cheat codes to all the games!! Probably, anyway. But other than that he is eternally average. And kind of a dope when it comes to common sense.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate? Probably a tendency to deliberate, because he is definitely the type to sit around daydreaming of possible outcomes of anything he does and then RUN AWAY IN A HUFF when he doesn't get his way. So yeah.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical? He's a poster boy for self-esteem problems and self loathing. He tries to keep up this facade to himself of I AM MITSUO I CAN DO ANYTHING, but that just leads to him doing stupid things for attention. He refuses to acknowledge that he's kind of massively depressed about his entire life, so it messes with his thought process a lot. ... Idealistic, I guess, also, because he does most things hoping in vain to get some attention for it.
4. What kind of education has the character had? Hasn't finished high school yet.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about? VIDYAGAMES.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert? what do you think.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven? MOOD SWINGS MOOD SWINGS MOOD SWINGS. He's actually pretty mellow when he's not in a pissy mood, even though his automatic method of response to everyone ever is to be antagonistic. Once he gets met with annoyance in return, he immediately blames the other person and switches into moody bitch mode and is just a jerk. Outside of his video games he isn't happy at all, anyway.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? Jerk. If he even talks to them.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react? Thaaat depends. He shows a tendency to act out for attention, but most of the time he just goes around being invisible until his inner emo boils over into inner idiot and he does something outrageous for attention.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight? Flight lol. He doesn't want to put any effort into being noticed, he just wants to be paid attention to -- and when that fails, he's out.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks? No.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them? Oh. Oh, yes, I think so. He's totally attention-starved and feels worthless and empty even if he doesn't admit it. HE DEALS WITH IT BY DOING STUPID THINGS.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person? Whatever made him a recluse with no social competence, I guess, because he literally refuses to change when he's ~supposed to, in P4 continuity logic.
14. What does he fear? ~HIMSELF~ god that's so lame but it's true. Also, to an extent, being alone/forgotten/forever unnoticed. Which, you know, isn't helped by the fact that he is one of these things almost all the time.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations? TO BE SEEEEEEEN. Also to play more vidyagames.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? Uh he is pretty much dead inside.
