IC Information


CHARACTER NAME: Yu Narukami

AGE:17

CANON: Persona: 4

CANONPOINT:
Post Canon, including P4G and Arena
FAMILY TYPES: All. Yu is the Wild Card, Zero. All possibility is open to him.

APPEARANCE: Tall, lean, Kinda limb-y. Gray hair and eyes. Tends toward nice fashionable clothing.

PERSONALITY:When Yu first arrives in Inaba he’s the classic archetype of the Outsider. Quiet, distant, not un friendly but almost too polite. The game hints that he’s moved around a lot for due to his parent’s work, and this shows in a lot of his early game dialogue choices with Dojima and his future friends: polite but un attached. He won’t know these people for long so there’s no point in getting too attached.

Yet, a few bits of his inner self can be seen: on the first day of school he talks back to his rather intimidating teacher and gets to walk home with two pretty cute girls (and at least thinks of outright saying that Yukiko is attractive). Yu, while a little cold and detached early on, opens up quickly to his new friends. He has a kind of subtle charm to him that attracts others to him, and over the school year he becomes quite popular with guys and girls alike. Enough so that his… less then stellar appearance at a crossdressing pageant disappoints a few people who though he had more class then that.

But he really blooms once the tv world and Personas come into the picture. He quietly takes the reins when Yosuke’s Shadow appears and never really is asked to hand them back over. Yu takes full responsibility for the team’s schedule, money and course- and if anything he flourishes under the pressure. That plus keeping up good grades and a half dozen part time jobs over the year and one could say that Yu is someone that has to keep busy, and does best when not left idle. He keeps calm in stressful situations and knows how to play his team like a hand of well dealt cards, using each one when their skills would best fit- and more then willing to pull them back out again regardless of what they say. He’s had to see his friends ‘die’ over and over, sometimes while they dive in to save him, and as such he has a strong ability to remove himself from the situation on an emotional level if he has to.

This doesn’t mean that Yu is a hardnosed person though. Between dungeon crawls he spends a lot of his time helping the people of Inaba with their various problems. As much as he’s not used to people he is still surprisingly empathetic and is good at easing others through their hardships. He makes friends much easier now then he did when he first came to Inaba, and while he doesn’t offer much about himself he does give off the feeling of earnestly caring about who he’s with. Yu is also a bit… quirky under his occasionally stony shell. He freely cross dresses for the pageant and sits on the girl’s side of a group date with no embarrassment to even up some numbers. A lot of his responses can be rather snarky or playfully meanspirited- though almost never out right cruel. And he has some… odd habits here and there, such eating grass and giving himself missions to feed stray cats. He often has strange dreams (both of the plot based and the just strange variety) and takes the weirdness around him rather easily… even talking to a money grubbing fox and not questioning that it wants to grant wishes.

When we see him again in Arena his personality is a lot clearer thanks to finally having a voice of his own. He’s shown to be a calm, firm soul. Determined to save his cousin and friends and unswayed by Shadow Labrys’ and the Entity’s illusions for the most part. His will has been forged by his year long trial, enough so that after being stomped by Elizabeth, one of the strongest beings in his universe, he forces himself back up again with the intent to keep going. In the end it all falls down to the quality Izanami chose him for: Hope. He is the hope of others, and his own, even if it may waver, is power. As such he does not allow himself to fail. It’s a heavy weight, but one he takes on gladly.

SAMPLES

FIRST PERSON:

2.) What would you say is your greatest strength?
My greatest strength? Aha… this almost sounds like a school application. Hm… I’d have to say my friends. Nothing I’ve accomplished would be possible without them.

3.) If you were given the option to stay in the Digital World or return to your home, which would you choose? Why?
Definitely home. I still have things to tie up there, and… well I’m just about to go out on my own. My life is just starting. Though I have no problem staying here until things are set right.

4.) What ability would you most like to have?
Really? Uhm… I’d like to be able to shape-shift. Being able to fly or breath underwater would be really useful. Or sneak around as a cat…

Note that in this game I app’d before the Yu Narukami name was made game canon, so he’s ‘Souji’ Here.
