− | '''Profile:''' | + | '''Profile:''' Once a mad oracle and vassal of the enigmatic Joker, Tatsuya Sudou has arguably improved his lot in life since his fateful brush with death. Because of it, the dethroned King is no longer subject to the maddening influence of the Voices that once held him in thrall -- an influence upon which he's relied for nearly twenty years. However, despite the loss of both his throne and his precognitive abilities, Tatsuya is increasingly coming to find he prefers his life this way. Now, the former Executive is resolved not just to live, but to thrive. Of course, it certainly doesn't hurt that some of this renewed purpose has come from leading the Dragons, a group he forged almost by accident out of the remains of his old Masked Circle. Recently invited back into the NWO by none other than Tatsuzou Sudou himself, Tatsuya even appears to have finally let go of his hate for his father. But...you know what they say about appearances. |

In an attempt to one-up Zeus for the birth of Athena, Hera conceived and bore Hephaestus by herself. From here the story diverges; one version has Hera casting her son from Mount Olympus for his ugliness, whereupon he was lamed when he landed upon, variously, the isle of Lemnos or the surface of the sea; the second version holds that the one who cast him from on high was actually Zeus, who was angered by his wife's actions and by the boy's attempt to defend his mother from her husband's wrath. He was accepted back into the ranks at some point, of course, at which point he began to forge wonders for gods and mortals alike -- most notably, the armor and shield of Achilles.

Further, now that it's evolved into its Custom form, it's achieved a more ornate, Gothic look, one adorned with gold and sporting draconic touches that call back to the form of its Resonance and to Sudou's personal motif. | ||

+ | *Tatsuya's given name means "to be a dragon"; his family name contains the elements "by any means necessary" and "wisteria". | ||
+ | *Tatsuya's missing right eye and the scar around it are a direct result of the first time Tatsuya Suou ever summoned his Persona Vulcanus, some twelve years earlier. He wears an eyepatch to conceal the empty socket, but now no longer bothers to cover up the scar. The media attention surrounding that decision has provided an ironic boost to his public image, especially among Japan's housewife population. Despite all that, he honestly doesn't seem to care what people think of it. | ||
+ | **The above helps out with his new office, that of the ''oyabun'' (boss) of the Sumaru Sumiyoshi. | ||
+ | **Which, by the way, means he's in the process of getting ''irezumi'' tattoos. | ||
+ | *Like most evil geniuses, Tatsuya has cats. Fortinbras and Laertes -- the latter a birthday gift from [[Akari Hoshi|<span style="color:white;">Akari Hoshi</span>]] -- take their names from ''Hamlet,'' and share the house with Akari's kitten. | ||
+ | *Tatsuya's Guardian Dragon in [[Wang Long Fortune Telling|<span style="color:white;">Wang Long Fortune Telling</span>]] is the Red Dragon, which rules passion and is confident and adventurous. The Red Dragon has poor affinity with the Light Dragon, which happens to be [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]]'s Guardian Dragon. | ||
+ | *Tatsuya is fluent in both English and German, languages that his mother taught him when he was a child. He has also taught himself Latin, Greek, Italian and Hebrew, and possesses reasonable facility with Russian. Further, he is fluent in K'iche' Maya thanks to the tutelage of the Voices, and taught himself Nahuatl as a supplement. Finally, his experiences in Maboroshi have resulted in experience with Turkish and Magyar, as well as strengthened fluency in French. He doesn't know Spanish or Portuguese, though he's confident if it ever came up he could more or less jury-rig semi-fluency out of his existing competency in other Romance languages. | ||
+ | *In addition to being an accomplished astrologer, Sudou is learned in the principles of alchemy (and the metaphysical practice thereof) and other such Western arts. He is also steadily gaining a working familiarity with Eastern mysticism. | ||
+ | *The Dragons' home office resides in the impossible maze that comprises 80% of the building that houses Club Zodiac. | ||
+ | *The Japanese reading of his name, placing family name first, may be a play on words in English: Sudou Tatsuya --> "pseudo-Tatsuya", i.e. the false Tatsuya. | ||
+ | *Owing to having grown up wealthy and having spent much of his adult life institutionalised, Sudou can neither cook nor drive. | ||
+ | **In particular, the limits of his culinary skill are "cold cereal" and, more recently, "grilled cheese." He's certainly tried to learn how to cook, but has found his inurement to heat and flame poses serious challenges when attempting to prepare meals; i.e., he has no way of accurately gauging temperature, and often errs toward either "too raw" or "burnt." If not for his personal chef, he'd be eating cereal and cup ramen for every meal he didn't spend at a restaurant. | ||
+ | *Like his counterpart [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]], Sudou has a lighter that he flicks incessantly. Sudou's, however, is black and did not come from someone he loved. It's just a fire-starter's tool. | ||
+ | *The Voices are gone. Also he came back from the dead, sort of. These two facts are related. | ||
+ | *Sudou's given up on repressing his well-developed masochistic streak. Needless to say, this may in fact make him just as frustrating to fight as his madness once did -- he's more reasonable, but still disturbing...and not afraid of pain. | ||
+ | *Following a short sojourn to Vienna to clear his head, Sudou returned to Araya Shrine and there cut off most of his wild mane, leaving it in the shrine for the gods to dispense of as they will. It's the first time his hair's been cut in twelve years. | ||
+ | *Obsessively clean (especially after the events of the Innocent Sin plot), Sudou spends a surprising amount of time bathing. | ||
+ | *Sudou's taken up smoking. Predictably, he only smokes imported cigarettes of Turkish or Egyptian varieties. He may also smoke cloves when he's feeling sassy. | ||
+ | **And, increasingly often, opium. He tends to mix it with shag tobacco, smoked chiefly via a dragon-etched kiseru. | ||
+ | *He also drinks more heavily than he used to. His preferred alcoholic beverages include scotch, martinis (shaken not stirred), German beer, red wine (particularly pinot noir), and bloody marys. Due to its frequent (and ritualistic) use among yakuza, Sudou tends not to drink sake unless he's working. | ||
+ | *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etm-qfx3Gok <span style="color:white;">This</span>] is how Sudou tends to act at wine-and-cheese parties. And in general, really. | ||
+ | *And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3RYbtxvqZs <span style="color:white;">this</span>] is also accurate, particularly #2. Because God knows Tatsuya Sudou has a huge monstrous queen bitch of a time getting bloodstains out of cashmere. | ||
+ | *When Sudou was young, he resembled his Austrian-born mother Maria. Now that he's grown older, however, he's begun to look more and more like his father, [[Tatsuzou Sudou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuzou Sudou</span>]]. | ||
+ | **Despite his mixed heritage, it's not entirely clear where his red eyes come from. Maria possessed characteristically Germanic blue eyes; Tatsuzou's are a flat grey. | ||
+ | *He's now in the Inner Circle of the NWO, serving as the Order's head of underworld operations. | ||
+ | *Sudou's blood type is B. In yet another coincidence, this is also [[Tatsuya Suou|<span style="color:white;">Tatsuya Suou</span>]]'s blood type. | ||
