Character Info:
Name: Naoya
Age: 24
Canon: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Pull Point: Post-Day 7, Naoya Route

Background Info:
History: Game plot, Naoya's wiki page.

Personality:

To people who first meet Naoya, they might come away from an initial meeting thinking that he's a reasonable person - intelligent, well-read, open to ideas, with a sharp mind and a dry sense of humor. This is, of course, what he would like people to come away with, on the whole - because what's beneath is much older and much more full of hatred. He is, in truth, a bitter man with a severe grudge against God for cursing him over five thousand years ago. He can remember everything, from killing his brother to the present day. This has given him a very unique capacity for planning, considering he can and will set up plans years, decades, or centuries in advance.

He has been reincarnated so many times, seen so much of human evil, but he still wishes more than anything else to strike back against God, rather than humanity. Humanity will forget an individual face, even if it's enshrined in legend, but God is the one who pulls the strings for individual misery, and is unchanging. He is the one who remembers, and who keeps up this curse, so He is the one who has to fall.

Naoya is more than obsessed with killing God. There might be a million steps he has to climb to see that goal through, but he's well on his way. After steering his brother onto the path he saw fit and given him the power he needs to face God, Naoya is now confident that the war against God and the angels can begin, and his curse can finally end.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Tower
Justification: Naoya's entire goal has been to cause major changes, ever since he decided to kill God. Part of his stated goal is to also free humanity from God's 'guidance' and give them true free will. He is, however, trapped in more ways than one - by his curse, by his anger, by his obsession - and society's values don't matter too much to him anymore past something he has to work around. In the end, he'll send everyone else crashing down if he has to in order to reach his goal.

Samples:
First Person Sample:

[There's a brief pause, and then the man on the screen - white hair, red eyes, total smirk and ease at his surroundings - starts talking. His tone is calm, as if this happens every day.]

Well. This isn't where I just was. For one, the sky is… normal, again.

[Ah, but that's no matter. What is important, however…]

Based on the limited information I've found this place is called… Prospero, correct? Not the name I would choose for an island, but I suppose it's not mine to name.

… And if anyone has any information on exactly where Prospero is, it would be appreciated.

[Click!]

Third Person Sample:

It was almost familiar, this fighting monsters. He had needed to fend off a fair few during the Lockdown, and would continue having to do so, but the way of doing it was far different now. This… 'persona' would have to do for now, as would his newly-acquired pistol.

Still, as he walked the streets, trying to find Shadows to train on, he couldn't help but think that he was wasting his time. He did need to get back to his own world. There were things he could only do there… and after all, he had a task to complete. Naoya wasn't about to let him get away with not doing it.

For now, he would have to content himself with destroying these Shadows, and idly wonder just how much Jung would have a field day over the terms that were being used here.
