Character Information
Name: Yosuke Hanamura
Age: 17
Fandom: Persona 4
Appearance: Yosuke is a doofy guy, tall and lanky with a thin head and a wild bird's nest hairdo. Aside from the school uniform he's usually caught in, he has decent fashion sense and favors red, white, and orange. No matter what else he has on, Yosuke is never caught without his trademark orange headphones, which he treasures more than life itself. Picture.
History: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Yosuke_Hanamura
Canon Point: Entering the TV world to go after Naoto Shirogane
Personality: Yosuke is the quintessential loser. Whenever something bad can possibly happen to him, it usually happens. He's awkward, he's clumsy, and he tends to get frequently injured in freak accidents that can be attributed equally to bad luck and self-infliction. Due to all of these terrible qualities, Yosuke firmly believes the world, nay, the universe itself is out to get him, just for a laugh. He's definitely a 'glass is half empty' kind of guy in almost every situation, at least on the inside. What he shows to others is another matter entirely.
Deep inside, Yosuke is terribly lonely, with little aptitude whatsoever toward actually connecting to anyone beyond a superficial level. Yosuke doesn't want attention so much as he needs it: to be the center of everyone's world and the guy everyone knows they can always turn or look up to. Unfortunately, he lacks significant social skills and has a hard time opening up to show someone how he really is, as much as he yearns to be around people. People are frightening when you start getting into the little details of your life, and though he'll do everything he can to get you to pay attention and speak to him, he'll be on tenterhooks the whole time to make sure it's a positive impression. Before things turned around for him, he stopped even seeing people as people, but more as things he could use for his own benefit, to make his own life more bearable and nothing else. It took the death of Saki Konishi, someone he thought he loved, for him to come to realize just how warped his view of the world was.
Despite all this, Yosuke isn't as emo as one would initially expect. He keeps an upbeat, happy attitude, spiked only occasionally with bouts of extreme cynicism. He's learned to laugh at himself, twisting his awful luck and tendency toward injury to make himself look like a bit of a clown. This image is carefully cultivated, sometimes on purpose to make people smile and sometimes entirely by accident because he tends to be so clumsy. He puts on a happy face for the world around him, especially for strangers, and is swift to attempt to move in and turn a person from an unknown into a friend. Once he's decided he likes you, Yosuke will stick by you for life, or at least until he gets some sort of clue that you don't actually like him all that much.
When he lived in a big city, before moving to Inaba, Yosuke was able to drown out his loneliness by surrounding himself with people. In Inaba, a tiny, tiny town, he couldn't do this anymore. There just weren't enough faces to go around, and to top that off, many people outright hated him for his father's store and nothing he actually had a hand in. Though he formed a couple friendships with a handful of people, there were frequent times when he was absolutely crushed by the feeling that he was alone in the world. Thanks to his true bonds with Souji Seta and the other members of the Investigation Team, his issues concerning being alone have taken a mighty beating, but he's still the kind of guy that will go to a party, invited or not, just to be around as many people as he can. Having done a lot of good and learned to accept who he is and the people around him, Yosuke has matured significantly and, though still a juvenile little dork a lot of the time, has become a better person all around.
Game Specific
Suitability: Despite his young age, Yosuke has already been thrust into the adult world and seen things no person really ever should have to. He's faced his inner demons and come out ahead, able to accept even the ugliest parts of himself, despite still acting like an immature kid sometimes. He's faced death, loss, and a seemingly insurmountable challenge.
He's also dependable and perseverant, if whiny and reckless. He'll go to the end to fight the good fight, and fight he can. Though not as proficient as Chie or Kanji, he's a solid brawler and very willing to get into the thick of it. The UAA might be interested in him for these qualities, as well as his willingness to kill if necessary (from his canonpoint, anyway): if he believes someone really, truly deserves it, he will take them out, no matter if he'll regret it afterward.
Weapon: Repulsor gloves. Basically, a set of gauntlets with force cannons in the palms. They can fire long range, high accuracy, but low power shots that hit like a long-distance sucker punch, or charge up to fire one big close-range, wide force blast that hits like a goddamn truck but can't be aimed for crap. These gloves run on batteries that can be exchanged mid-battle but cannot be recharged like beam weaponry. Once Yosuke is out of batteries, that's it. One battery pack contains enough juice for ten shots or two blasts, with one blast consuming five units of energy. Charging up blasts to fire simultaneously with both hands is not recommended, as there are two outcomes with roughly equal chances of happening as the shockwaves resonate: one fuck-off huge blast that can level the side of a building, or the same thing only the gloves also just exploded and caused most of the user's molecules to vaporize. Needless to say, that's a bad thing.
The gloves can be upgraded to better batteries with increased charge capacity, sometime down the road, and if Yosuke is feeling really brave he can opt for stabilizers to allow him to crappily fly.
Samples
Log/Third Person Sample:
Kill or be killed. Strike or be stricken. Fight or be... fought. Those were the rules of this crazy, shitty world, and as much as Yosuke didn't really want to kill, he wanted to be killed even less. That meant he needed to learn how to fight, and since his usual method of fighting involved the use of magical head monsters he no longer had access to and knives that just didn't cut it against people with laser beam swords, that meant it was time to learn how to use his new shiny weapons.
The instructions weren't much help. Thank you for using our product. Do not combine overcharges. Good luck! Great, so what was an overcharge? Whatever, he'd figure it out. Yosuke rolled up his sleeves and pulled on the elbow-length, black gloves with thick... what he guessed to be steel-plated fingers and some glowing thing in the palm. It felt like wearing an oversized, vaguely-buzzing oven mitt on both hands. Whatever, even if they felt weird, they had to be useful somehow.
Punching things just gave him sore knuckles and filled his room with curses. Same with slapping. There was only one button per glove, and pushing it just caused something that looked like a battery to pop out and the glove to power down. That explained the four extras the package had come with, and the thing that plugged into a wall socket that had to be the recharger. So, now he knew how to power them up, but Yosuke was still lost on how to use that power.
It took him a little while to finally figure it out. Fifteen minutes, give or take, of simply flailing around with them finally came to fruition when he flattened his palm and pressed his fingers together: there was a high-pitched sound, a bright light, and a fresh hole in Yosuke's wall that looked like he'd just put a fist through it. Okay, that was cool, even if he knew he was going to be paying for that. Maybe testing weapons indoors was a poor idea.
"What the hell?"
A very poor idea. Yosuke winced at the sound of his neighbor discovering the new feature in their wall. Maybe, if he managed to shoot a hole in the wall the same height from the other side, they'd think it came from outside, that was a good idea, right? Or he could just hide, or- or there was someone already looking through the head-sized hole right at him. Time to face the music.
"Uh... hi!"

so like this is really stupid if you think about it. they expect us to be assassins here but arent assassins supposed to be really stealthy?? everyone ive talked to has these giant laser swords or huge guns or stupid laser rollerskates that shouldnt actually work and were expected to fight in ranked matches? that doesnt sound like assassination to me. its more like some crappy 90s fighting anime where dudes with giant muscles and no shirts on fight it out and theres a lot of grunting and nothing happens for like ten episodes at a time. in other words its dumb.
yeah i dunno about you guys but i think this is a giant scam. i dont think im actually ever gonna show up at these fights if i get assigned to one especially if people really can die. why the hell would anyone show up if its actually that dangerous. screw that noise dudes.
