Player Name: Mars Character Name: Goro Akechi Original Canon: Persona 5 AU Role: Infiltrator AU Species: Human Arcana: Justice
AU History Blurb: Warning: Spoiler-ish content ahead, please highlight to read: Akechi was born the illegitimate child of an ambitious politician and his mistress, and grew up an orphan; his father was never there from the start and his mother killed herself when he was very little, so he has almost no memory of her. Passed around foster homes, he grew up feeling unwanted and unloved. He is given the ability to enter the Metaverse early on, and gains the power of Persona when he accidentally comes upon his current foster parent's palace: a galley ship, where all the children are viewed as slaves and he the captain. Unable to bear the injustice of his situation, Akechi uses his persona to confront this corrupt adult, but without a guide, he goes too far and destroys the shadow, killing him by accident.
Despite the shocking incident, Akechi continues to explore the extent of his power, entering Mementos and discovering the shadows without palaces there. Having achieved "justice" against one adult who wronged him, Akechi decides to use his power to find the adult he holds responsible for his crappy childhood: his father. Without a name, he uses Mementos to seek out people who may have information that will lead him to his father, while continuing to enact his justice against others he holds accountable to him for wronging him in some way, by killing their shadows in Mementos. He has only done this a few times since his awakening, however.
Currently, he is traveling to LA, through Mementos, to follow a lead: he believes there may be someone in that city who has information on his father. He'll use whatever resources are available to him to aid him in his search, including joining up with other persona users if that's what it takes.
Tentative Plans for character: I would like to explore the choices Akechi makes, here and, in some ways, in his canon, and the real consequences of those decisions, especially in a place where he really may not feel special. His sense of justice and his thirst for vengeance has not fully manifested as yet, due to a lack of tangible target. I would like to see if he will develop further down the path he has started to walk, or if he can establish links that will help pull him back from that road.
Pre-Established CR: Other children from the foster system would be great; as for adults, perhaps ones who might possibly hold the information he needs? As his father is a character who could be played which, I mean, I would die for??? but lbr keep dreaming, perhaps they knew/knew of his mother? From where I'm playing him, Akechi doesn't have the kind of connections he would need to gain recognition as a detective prince, yet, so he'll just be your typical teenager for now.
Desired CR:Friends seriously, this guy needs to learn how to make some. People who will call him on his bullshit too. Negative CR would be great as well, esp from people who might catch on to what he's been up to, like law enforcement or detective types, but even individuals who may not agree with his particular views on justice could be fun to play around with!
Sorry for all the white text, but I figure better safe than sorry with this guy!
