Profile

There you go :U.

On a less sardonic note, particular PMUSH-specific quirks are listed in Trivia.

Notable Social Links

Because I've decided to be a terrible recluse about what Shinjiro really thinks of anyone (SO FAR), have this graphical representation instead:

Persona

Castor, the mortal son.

Resonance

Castor's resonance is a negative aura comprised of violent impulsiveness, resentment, and anger held in check: chained down like unruly beasts, and kept rigidly under control. Restraint of wild forces is the most prominent impression it gives off, due to Castor's reputation as a horse-tamer. Shinjiro's presence tends to impact like a punch in the face even on weaker detection abilities, and is part of the reason even 'mundanes' don't trouble him that much.

Scent-based detection picks him up as dry dead horse bones, straw, old steel, and worn leather.

Random Trivia

  • Shinjiro is not full-blooded Japanese. His mother was Japanese and his father was a Russian. He doesn't really know this for sure himself, since he was orphaned at such an early age and since not that much is known about his parents. It's not obvious in his features, they're more Asian than anything else, but nonetheless he still looks 'different' enough (especially in bone structure, eye color, and height) to make his life more difficult than it strictly had to be (being teased, not being adopted because he was visibly not a pure-blood, continuing discrimination, etc.).
  • He is OCD about cleanliness. It's a compulsion that comes primarily from his time on the streets. Having seen and endured some of the most horrible conditions possible, especially when he first ran out into the street, he's gotten a little freakish about keeping clean now that he's returned to proper civilization. That shit isn't something he needs to experience again, now that he can avoid it. It just drives him crazy to see people living in untidy squalor, not taking full advantage of their posh living environments. As such, he cannot stand Junpei's room.
  • He supported himself doing the absolute bare minimum in order to stay alive. This included working just enough to have money for food. Early on it was menial labor and errands; later, when he got more used to roughing it and was able to make regular visits to public baths to clean up and be 'presentable,' he got jobs in kitchens. He's well-known (and generally well-liked) by many proprietors along Iwatodai and Paulownia. This is also, incidentally, how he got quite so good at cooking; he always had natural talent, but working in kitchens helped refine it.
  • His connections with local businesses also helped in terms of basic shelter, cleanliness, necessities; the more kind-hearted of his erstwhile 'employers' eventually came to trust him enough to occasionally help him out. Some have even let him grab a shower and a spot on their floor to overnight when it's cold or raining.
  • Shinjiro also haunted a lot of net cafes over the past two years. It's probably how he got to know about Darkside.
  • Shinjiro's "accident" wasn't quite as simple as "Castor jumped out of his head against his will, without being called, and started going nuts." The reaction he has to it-- to ostracize and kill himself-- seems a little extreme if he wasn't even directly responsible for his Persona being out in the first place. Here he has a little more culpability; he made a conscious decision to summon his Persona, even in tight quarters, in the hubristic belief that he could handle it and that he would prove himself, his control and his competence by being the one to chase down the Shadow. Probably, something had happened a few days before that implicated his self-confidence-- maybe he was thinking about his upbringing as an unwanted orphan, maybe he'd just argued with Akihiko about his lack of full control-- and he wanted to prove everyone wrong and show what he was worth. So he brought Castor out, and pushed him, and while he was being reckless he lost control and killed somebody. Hence why he punishes himself so hard and insists against it when people tell him it wasn't his fault. This is all in his head, so no one else knows that this is how it really happened; which is why no one understands his extreme need to punish himself.
  • Shinjiro gets frequent sudden-onset migraines. They are especially prevalent when his suppressant has begun to wear off (each dose of his suppressants can last him 5 days before he begins to suffer withdrawal), and are a result of Castor banging around furiously in his head.
  • Shinjiro's Evoker holster is a black leather concealment holster, designed to be worn at the hip. It was a gift from Mitsuru/Kirijo Group back when Shinjiro was still with SEES. Despite it being designed to carry one of the very things that most bothers him, it's one of his more treasured possessions due to the fact of who gave it to him (along with his multipurpose pocketknife from the orphanage).
  • Shinjiro fucking loves Pochacco. Shinjiro will also kill your fucking ass dead if you ever find out he does.
