Difference between revisions of "Tohru Adachi/Persona"

[edit] Background

Adachi's Persona is Magatsu Izanagi: a twisted, deformed version of Yu Narukami's Izanagi Persona. Obviously, a lot of this is to do with the mirrored relationship of their Arcana and blah blah blah.

With his sister, Izanagi is one of the chief creators of existence -- the two of them bore gods, landmasses, and great leaders of men. When his sister died, Izanagi pursued her into the underworld to bring her back -- but he gazed upon her too early and made her ashamed and enraged, which generally cocked it all up. Etc. Magatsu Izanagi is that myth, turned on its ear: Adachi wants to bring the world into hell in part because he can't GET a woman, his charming girlfriend excepted (not that any woman would completely satisfy him, anyway). Indeed, he's actually the one who kicks women INTO the 'underworld' when they won't acknowledge that what HE wants is more important than anything else.

Adachi is a creator, in his way -- he IS trying to create a new fused, horrible form of reality -- but all of his efforts are selfish and ultimately destructive to those around him. The 'game' Adachi plays is also only ever going to get more and more stressful and harmful to himself -- and on some level he knows this, considering the bloody, ragged appearance of his Magatsu Izanagi, a creature literally unable to ever get past its wounds.

To date, no one outside of Adachi himself is aware of Magatsu Izanagi's existence; he uses generic Personae to cover his tracks.

[edit] Resonance

Adachi's resonance is weak and watery and difficult to read. Those who are not extraordinarily sensitive may not even be able to pick up anything at all. Those who can tune in will find the station given to static.
