Zett Takajo | Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children | Not Reserved
Nickname: Mini
Age: 19
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact:
Characters Played: Issei Ryudo, Ryuunosuke Uryuu, Ledah Rozwelli, V/V, Eater, Sanaki Kirsch Altina
Character Info:
Name: Zett Takajo
Age: Vague, appears about 16
Canon: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children
Pull Point: After being rescued from re-absorption.
Background Info:
History: An exciting fusion of the anime and game canon!
So there's this demon named Beelzebub who wants to take over the demon world, Makai. The problem is that he is second-in-command to Lucifer. So what he does is seal Lucifer away somehow and then impersonate him. Hooray, world domination is his.
Enter Setsuna and Mirai. These half-human, half-demon Devil Children (specifically, the children of two human mothers and Lucifer himself) enter Makai and start causing all this trouble, saving weak demons from biger bullying demons, being heroes, yada yada. Beelzebub takes note of this. So what does he do? He splits off a part of his own personality (that's the thing with world-conquering demons, they don't trust anyone else so much) and tells him to go spy on them.
This split-off personality is Takajo Zett. He's helpful, working to gain their trust. He shows up conveniently at the right times out of nowhere to save their butts. And, in return, Mirai and (especially) Setsuna come to regard him as a friend, putting themselves in danger to protect him.
Eventually, Zett comes to regard them as friends as well, which is a problem. Because he's just a cast-off personality, eventually the main personality decides to absorb him back in. And kill his friends.
Setsuna and Mirai are not okay with this, either the absorbing part or them dying. Beelzebub seriously outclasses them in combat ability, but just when all things seem lost, Zett decides to assert his own personality just enough to cripple Beelzebub's ability to fight. Heartened by Zett's attempt at saving them, Setsuna and co. manage somehow (idk, there are pentagrams shot out of a gun and sparkles) to pull Zett back out of Beelzebub, and together they defeat Beelzebub.
Somehow Zett survives this. That's how you know it's a kids' show.
Personality: Zett comes off as cheerful and laidback, and it's really not an act. Not much bothers him. He's used to what happens in Makai - unlike the human heroes, he doesn't have the sensibilities of 'innocent demons shouldn't get oppressed all the time' because that's how life in Makai is. Despite that, he isn't about to oppress them himself, either.
He's a bit cocky, and he has the right to be. As a split-off of Beelzebub, an extremely powerful demon, Zett has great powers in his own right, and can handle most dangers on his own. That Setsuna keeps insisting on saving him is kind of annoying, but endearing, in its own way.
Zett may be upbeat, but he isn't stupid or particularly trusting. When someone's planning to backstab his friend, he greets them with a bolt of lightning, and lectures said friend later about getting in the way and later getting stabbed in the back as Zett told him he would. But, despite that he warned Setsuna about this and he ignored the warning, he still came to save Setsuna from his own folly: he's loyal to his friends, once you get his trust.
Zett has a strong will. He resists being reabsorbed for a while, and considering that the power absorbing him is end boss tier Beelzebub, that's saying something. Even when he's reabsorbed, he has enough force of personality to cause Beelzebub physical pain and stop him from attacking his friends for a time. And, eventually he's able to reassert himself and reform his own body.
He also likes dramatically hanging around on high places like trees and giant rocks. And never explaining why he keeps showing up mysteriously.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Moon
Justification: With the Moona arcana being the one about trickery, naturally this is Zett misleading the others to his intentions and being impossible to read, but the most important part of this is fear. Zett comes to fear his reabsorption and inevitably wiping out his friends when they come to be heroic. He fights back against himself.
Samples:
First Person Sample: This is a public service announcement. Some of you know Setsuna Kai, right? About my age, white hair he can't comb properly... He's kind of dumb, and he'll sacrifice himself for you if you're ever in danger, especially once he figures out that you can't die here. So try not to get in danger, or I'll have to come around and save both of you, and it's a pain.
Later.
Third Person Sample: Zett kicked a rock and sighed.
Normally his main personality was impossible to ignore, once it made its presence known. He still remembered being absorbed, and the crushing pain that was Beelzebub trying to submerge his will completely.
Baal Zebul was just another name for Beelzebub. However, aside from the words he said after summoning him, Baal Zebul hadn't spoken to him at all, even when Zett swore at him in his head.
Was this the silent treatment? Was being a Persona some kind of limit to his consciousness? This was way too confusing. Normal people didn't have to deal with split personality problems
