Yosuke Hanamura / Persona 4 / Reserved
Nickname: Trek
Age: 18
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: My AIM is whysotrek and my Plurk is trekking
Characters Played: Solid Snake | Metal Gear Solid |
Character Info:
Name: Yosuke Hanamura
Age: 16
Canon: Persona 4
Pull Point: After discussing buying a new TV with Chie in Junes.
Background Info:
History: Yosuke wikia page
Personality: Yosuke is pretty much the epitome of a dork. Between crashing into a trash can and breaking Chie's DVD, Yosuke isn't exactly the luckiest person in the world. Yosuke's a complete klutz, which may have something to do with the fact that it's been decided that he's the comic relief character. Yosuke doesn't appear to take life very seriously prior to the confrontation with his Shadow and is a pretty lax sort of guy. One very important character trait of Yosuke's is his low self-esteem, evidenced by how he simply takes Saki's jabs toward him in stride and how he doesn't really stand up for himself. Yosuke could also be seen as something of a coward, shown by how he was ready to completely run out the door after giving Chie back her cracked DVD.
From how his Shadow acts, it's revealed that Yosuke really doesn't like living in Inaba and seeks the thrill through most walks of his life. Yosuke has a side to him that he has yet to accept, that is willing to use others to achieve his goals. Deep down, Yosuke knows for a fact of how annoying he is, to the point that he claims he even annoyed himself. Yosuke's overall dorky nature might simply be a cover for his low self-esteem and may reveal a side to Yosuke that harbors a fear of rejection. Yosuke is in constant denial of his annoying self and harbors a very deep love for a girl named Saki Konishi. Deep down, Yosuke knows that Saki doesn't truly reciprocate his feelings, though he acts like it anyways to try and spare himself the pain. Once his Persona has been achieved and Yosuke has overcome his Shadow, Yosuke's self-esteem has a large bump in the right direction and continues to grow as he becomes closer to the party.
Yosuke holds the ability to harness his hidden talents, and seems to just need a kick in the right direction most of the time. A more perverse side has been shown involving Yosuke, such as his reaction to seeing Shadow!Rise and compliments made after seeing both Chie and Yukiko in swimsuits. Still, it isn't anything too over the top and may just fall on Yosuke's basic nature as a mostly heterosexual male. Yosuke is also a very stressed individual, having to deal with being the son of a large department store owner along with the hate that follows due to the store, Junes, harming the progress of other family run stores. While Yosuke won't normally speak about these things, he does eventually open up to Yu Narukami, the Protagonist, once the two begin to talk more.
Another personality trait revealed is that Yosuke wishes to be in the spotlight and up front during battle, and seeks to be as popular as the Protagonist. The truth of Yosuke's feelings toward Yu comes out after his Social Link is maxed, revealing that Yosuke isn't the type of person to trust easily. Yosuke does have a large amount of guilt in what he hides from his friends, and eventually fought with fists with Yu Narukami so that Yu could "beat away the crap" he's been hiding. Eventually, Yosuke finds a completely new resolve when his Social Link is maxed, deciding to be a honest person and try to strive to be the right kind of confident, strong person like the Protagonist as well as more of a leader type. Overall, Yosuke is your average sixteen year old boy with lower self-esteem but a large amount of potential.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Magician Arcana.
Justification: Despite having problems with it, Yosuke has a large amount of self-confidence once he finally unlocks his Persona. He also is an "action" sort of man, preferring to jump right into situations instead of strategically thinking them out. He is able to unlock his hidden talents and become an effective fighter in battle, and as for the down side, has no qualms in manipulating others to get what he wants even though he knows it's wrong to do. Plus, he has the Arcana in his canon! /o/
Samples:
First Person Sample: [You see Yosuke, once the feed cuts on, rolling around inside of a trash can. Really, it's not the first time that this has happened.]
Hello? Is anyone out there? I'm stuck!
[Eventually, he is able to wiggle his way out on his own for once. A defeated sigh escapes him before he lifts up the device and smiles like the dork he is.]
S-Sorry about that, Prospero. Man, I never thought that would happen twice in a row. Anyways, does anyone know where I could get a decent weapon? Maybe like a sword or something? Or a kunai. That'd be awesome!
Third Person Sample: It wasn't the first time Yosuke had come across a shadow in the Dark Hour. It was, however, the first time that he had come across a shadow that resembled him perfectly. It sickened him, the things that the Shadow was saying. That wasn't him, right...? It couldn't be! Deep down, in his heart, Yosuke knew that was him. A writhing snake just waiting to be freed to wreak havoc upon his friends. Yosuke couldn't handle it, and his hands had clapped over his ears. No. He was going to block the Shadow out, and inevitably, it would go away. That's all Yosuke had ever done, just ignored those traits about himself. He could picture his father in his mind, scolding him for upsetting a customer. He pictured Saki in his mind, talking to her friends behind his back, calling him annoying and irritating. "You're not me..." A small shake of the head, and maybe a tear or two fell onto Yosuke's form. There was no way he could put up with something like that. But then... WHAM! A fist struck on the top of Yosuke's head, and he slammed onto the ground on his butt. Shocked, at first, Yosuke's eyes turned up to look at his striker. The speech given by them shocked and awed him, and turning his head, he noticed that the summoned being had defeated his Shadow in no time flat. Standing up as if a new man, with a fist utilized in his baptism, Yosuke calmly walked over to his Shadow self. Everything said in this situation, he knew it to be true... he had just lived in denial his entire life. "You are me, and I am you." Yosuke's eyes burned with confidence as he placed a hand on his Shadow softly, which disappeared in only a few minutes. A hand extended outward, with the floating Magician tarot card over it. "...This is my Persona..." Yosuke had known about Persona already from the people he had met in Prospero, and now he finally gained access to his own. His confidence brimming, Yosuke turned to his partner and winked. Now he had a way to repel the Shadows and be a hero. Now, he could fight.
