Character Info:
Name: Yu Narukami
Age: 17
AU/PG/CANON/OC: Persona 4 (post Ultimax)
Summary:
-Moved to Inaba for the school year due to parents traveling for business. Staying with his uncle and his kid. His ‘stats’ are all blank at this point (unless you’re playing a new game plus) which I take as him having very little drive. Moving around so much and not being able to connect with others, it makes sense he’d not bother developing social and only do enough to coast by.
-Got god touched by one of the founding deities of Japan. Get’s TV world powers.
-Murder happens? Falls in a tv. Look I have 4 games to go over we got hurry this up. They meet Teddie and escape again. Figure out the tv is involved in the murders and go back after Saki dies. Yosuke gets a persona. Him and Yosuke become friends, which leads to a partnership that lasts the entire game. Yu gains a purpose that he himself chose, possibly for the first time in his life
- INVESTIGATION TEAM GO. They decide to uncover the mysteries of the tv world no matter what.
-Mets Marie, well, more officially, who turns out later to be important. Her social link plays out through out the game and not only Yu, but the whole team become close with her.
-Lots of people get tossed in and Yu and team save them and absorb them into the IT collective. There is very important character growth and hijinks and bullshit for like, 10 months. Okay there’s no way to condense all the character growth Yu goes through over this time into anything digestible. But let’s just say, that by helping others come to term with their inner demons, Yu gains something he never really had. People that he is invested in. Friends and family and hope for the future. He blooms socially and becomes a very dedicated leader.
-But then someone dies that never showed up on the TV?! WHO WAS PHONE Oh Kubo was phone. They go and beat him up when he escapes into the tv and figure out that he isn’t the killer. He IS a killer but not THE killer or something. Mostly because Naoto happens.
-Then PQ happened. ANYWAYS. Since he can’t recall anything that happens during this game I’ll leave it at that.
-After Naoto happens things are quiet then Nanako poofs and Yu has a shit fit for like a month. The music changes even in the Dojima household. While you don’t SEE Yu’s reactions, the game’s musical and directive cues hint that he’s depressed and on edge the whole time. They save her but she’s pretty messed up. Team almost kills the kidnapper with a TV but the power of friendship and also yelling and good dialogue choices save the day. Yu shows his only canon expression of anger here, and how much the team trusts him when he is able to talk everyone down from killing Namatame. BAD END AVOIDED.
-And then Adachi was the killer. Assuming his social link was at it’s highest possible point here (and for this app we are assuming so) Yu goes to confront him on his own, and is almost killed for his trouble. Yu stands his ground, convinced there’s still something salvageable about Adachi, but he can’t get through to him. Their social link shifts Arcana. Adachi gets beat up after a very long and obnoxious dungeon and a giant eyeball thing. Second bad end avoided
-Marie poofs, turns out she’s part of Izanami or something. They save her too in a very convoluted dungeon
-But it was a god. One by one Yu’s friends are devoured by her powers, and he falls. But each of his completed social links (and for this app I am assuming they are all maxed) give him their encouragement and hope so he can get up again. And once he realizes how all his bonds have changed him for the better he does so, and His persona evolves into Izanagi-no-okami. Izanami gets beat up and everyone is happy. TRUE END ACHIVED.
-So Yu goes home! But comes back a few weeks later for Golden Week! Of course shit goes down. Some of his friends vanish and end up in the TV!
-Turns out a robot got stolen and some losers from Persona 3 are looking for her and her Shadow is making them all fight. It is solved with friendship. Honestly Yu doesn’t change much in this game and Ultimax since his arc is over. But of note, in Ultimax we do seem him not only being friendly with Adachi even after all their history, but accepting Sho as a hurt soul instead of a monster. Yu is just way too forgiving. At the end they all celebrate, and Yu returns home again… almost taking Nanako with him. Until Dancing all Night but that’s another story.
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. In Persona Q even more of his quirks are shown. When not focused on the battle ahead, he is rather spacey and Yosuke states that he can come off like he’s not listening half the time, when in fact he is absorbing everything around him. He confesses to the P3 protagonist that he has doubts on his leadership skills… and that without his friends he wouldn’t be able to do anything. He isn’t perfect. He just has to pretend to be for the sake of those around him. His flaws come up strongest when his social link with Adachi is followed to it’s conclusion. He has trouble accepting that someone he had gotten close to could in turn be some he doesn’t really know at all. He doesn’t betray his friends to try and fix it (in THIS ending, anyways) but the temptation is there. He can’t handle failing others, enough so that in a burst of shortsightedness he could do something awful to save someone NOW.
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. And when they have to come right back to fight Sho, Yu is right there, insisting that eventually bonds with others can heal the other young man’s heart. And when he meets Adachi again for the first time since the man’s arrest… he isn’t angry or aggressive with him. He speaks to the older man like he did before the reveal. Because even though Adachi is a monster in his own way, Yu still hopes he can change and the person he befriended is really there deep down. 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.
Gem Considerations: Yu’s gem is Amber, set in his throat. Amber is an organic stone, which reinforces Yu connection with humanity and other living things, as well as being yellow, Persona 4’s theme color.
Amber is a stone of warmth, luck and positive energy. It is less about Yu himself, and more about his relationships. Things that Yu defines himself by. The bright loving hope of the world he finally found in Inaba. Amber is also associated with courage and being used to generate electricity. So it fits well with his nature.
As for his growth, having gone through 4 games already he’s mostly reached the peak of his story. Now Amber represents less his own growth and more his desire to bring that warmth and hope to others. As well as settling into a new role not as a leader, but as a supporter. Amber is best when paired with other purifying stones, after all.
Power considerations:
List Three Powers You Would Like Your Character To Have:
-Truth Sight: Able to see through illusions and lies (and fog)
-Weapon Summoning: A sword similar to Izanagi-no-Okami’s
-Purification: While similar to healing (and can be helpful to wounds), this power is more aimed at removing corruptions, mind control or other foreign influences on others, and turning negative energy into positive.
Yu will be losing his Persona abilities (which makes sense: he’s not in the TV world anyways), but having already had powers before gaining new ones won’t bother him too much. SO outside his gem abilities he’d be a normal human.
