□ Name: Jess
□ Age: 29
□ Contact: understandham@gmail.com

□ Name: Yu Narukami
□ Series: Persona 4
□ Canon point: Post Arena, pre Golden epilogue. Golden compliant
□ History: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Yu_Narukami
□ 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.
□ Age: 17
□ Gender: Male, physically and mentally
□ Appearance: Tall, lean, Kinda limb-y. Gray hair and eyes. Tends toward nice fashionable clothing.
□ Abilities/Powers: Yu has the power of Persona. He can summon an aspect of himself to fight for him. His personal Persona is Izangai/Izanagi-no-Okami, who uses physical and elemental attacks. But unlike most who use Personae he has the Wild Card ability, which allows him to change Personae. Without the Velvet Room he can no longer fuse new Personae, and based on Arena one can assume he mostly just sticks with his personal one.
Note: Normally he can’t use his powers in the Real World. It’s up to the mods if Personae work in Ariel.
□ Personal Items: He had his duffel bag for his trip to Inaba with him when he arrived in Ariel. It has the basics for a few days stay over: a few sets of clothing, washroom supplies, his mp3 player, some spare yen, a few movies, his Gamestation handheld and the like. Nothing impressive
