Personality:
In the game, Souji is a silent protagonist, one who’s in game personality is left up to the player, who decides what he says based on the dialogue choices that are given. However, there are only a few different responses that are given to choose from, and the choices that come up during conversations with someone who he has a Social Link with directly affect those links. For the Social Link to become maxed, giving Souji all the power from it, the right choices need to be made. In this way, those right answers can be considered the canon dialogue choices; just as well, the other characters make comments from time to time about his personality in the game.
Souji is the type that is able to go with the flow of events, adapting himself to whatever situation or person that he meets. He’s able to get along with all types of people, regardless of how they meet, or what type of relationship they have. Most times he knows what people want to hear; whether it’s what they need to hear is debatable. However, even if he is able to go with the flow, he always knows what is important, and he will always stand by that no matter what. In his life, the friendships that he has are one of the most important things to him, and he is able to make friends wherever he goes. While he’ll never turn down an opportunity to spend time with them, it becomes more of an issue about how to juggle them all and make sure he gets to spend enough time with each of them. It’s not so much that he can’t keep up, but each one needs to be meaningful, and he always puts his all into each friendship, growing closer to them in turn. He cares deeply for his friends, and is willing to do whatever he needs to, to make sure they’re happy and safe.
The closer you are to him, the more Souji is willing to open up and be more himself then anything else. While he has no problem conversing with everyone, there’s the side of him that isn’t shown to just everyone he meets. He saves that for his closest friends, especially when he knows that they won’t judge him. He enjoys joking around with his guy friends like any other boy, whether it’s just some light teasing, or if it’s about girls and other guy talk. Once you get close enough to him, he’s definitely the type who will tease his friends every once in awhile. While he doesn’t do it all the time, he has a good sense of balance in his teasing; it never becomes too hurtful, and it’s never too vague that the person won’t get it. He knows when it’s a good time to tease someone, and when he needs to be more understanding of the person and their situation. While even some of his friends have problems with filtering what they say, Souji is more the type to carefully weigh his words before speaking, making sure that he doesn’t just blurt out whatever comes to mind first.
Because he takes his time to carefully weigh his words before speaking, Souji is much more a strong and silent type of person. He definitely falls more into being a listener more then a speaker, though he does speak if spoken to. Even though he’s a bit on the silent side, he is able to make his feelings clear on certain subjects with a simple nod of his head or a shrug of his shoulders. When asked direct questions, he always answers them to the best of his ability, whether it’s an academic question or something else. However, when it comes to most things, his answers are more serious then anything else. Souji takes things rather seriously, though he doesn’t go overboard with it. He always gives off a calm and serious vibe; he doesn’t get riled up easily, and even if he does become angry or upset, he’s more the type who will hide it inside of him, wait until he’s calmed down enough, and then figure out what he should do to get the best results out of a situation. It made perfect sense that the group would give him the position of being the leader of the group because of this, and he takes his leadership seriously. He’s kind to the rest of his team, and when they’re upset and something might happen, he’s there to help rein them in and get them focused and back on track.
However, there are a few things about Souji that might seem out of place at first glance, but make sense, given how he acts around people. For one, Souji is a pretty good chef. Living with his parents in the city really helped Souji learn different skills, and while his parents’ job makes them have to move around a lot, being left home alone more often then not helped him learn to fend for himself. Cooking and being able to make his own meals was a skill he most likely had to learn fairly early on in his life, and while he tends to eat, or at least taste, anything that is put in front of him, Souji would much rather eat something pleasing to his taste buds then anything else. Just as well, with long days of nothing to do but go to school, work some days, and spend time at home, he studies and reads a lot of different type of books and pamphlets. He wouldn’t be classified as a nerd, but he gets very high grades no matter what the subject, due to his intense attention in his classes, and time given over to studying because there’s nothing else to do in an empty house. He’s smart, but he could have become a slacker if he wanted to; the fact that he doesn’t shows the effort that he puts into everything he does. When he moves to Inaba and lives with his uncle and his cousin, he’s able to relate to her rather well, due to the fact that she is home a lot on her own as well. Because of that, he does whatever he can to make her happy; even rather lame attempts at magic.
All in all, Souji is a rather typical high school student. He’s friendly, easy going, understanding, hard working, helpful, and serious, even though he’s a quiet individual. He cares for his friends’ safety and well being, and will do anything to help them. He cares about his family, believes fully in every decision that he makes, and while it may take some time to become a close friend of his, he will not let you down no matter what.
Extra:
Character Abilities: Souji’s abilities range in from the everyday of being book and street smart, knowing how to cook, and being a patient listener to anyone who needs one, to the physical, where he can go to school, do after school activities such as soccer and band, and then have a night job, all the way to the supernatural. He is able to handle a sword, and whenever in combat, prefers two handed swords, since he is able to handle them better then any other weapon.
In regards to the supernatural, Souji will be arriving with six Personae in his arsenal, so to speak. They will be:
Izanagi | Picture of Izanagi
Attis | Picture of Attis
Cu Chulainn | Picture of Cu Chulainn
Lucifer | Picture of Lucifer
Melchizedek | Picture of Melchizedek
Kohryu | Picture of Kohryu

Anything else: None.

Log/Prose sample:
It had taken Souji a little bit to accept being in a strange new place. Of course, he was used to being in new places; after all, how many different homes had he had in his lifetime? But this was a little different. His parents weren’t here; not that that mattered much, anymore. He was old enough that he supposed he didn’t need his parents, didn’t need what little comfort they could have provided. Just as well, he wasn’t being left in a house by himself for days on end. He didn’t really remember his uncle, and he had never met his cousin. But being with a family would be good for him, wouldn’t it? He wouldn’t have to fend for himself; he could be there for others, and they could be there for him.
But after the first few days of living in Inaba, of meeting his classmates, of having strange dreams during the times that he could get sleep, he knew that this wasn’t just another year without his parents. It wasn’t the dreams, it wasn’t the people, and it wasn’t the small town feel that he was beginning to get. In fact, a place filled with people, but closed in? Everyone joked that he must hate it, that he must be so bored, after living in the city for so long. But really, he enjoyed it. Being able to wake up each morning and see the same woman cleaning dishes in front of the window across the street, of walking down and seeing the same cat walk by, of every little small town tradition, whether it be steak, or making sure his umbrella was always near by, just in case. He loved it. He loved the little things; he loved how this place felt like a home more then anywhere else had before. Even the housewives who gossiped all around him were just another small part that made this town a small, friendly town.
And even more then that. As the days went on, as days blended into weeks, as he slowly got to know Dojima, and see that there was something sad hidden within his uncle, even though he tried to hide it. As he spent more time each day with Nanako, whether it was watching TV with her, making sure there was something to eat for dinner. Of doing whatever he could to make her smile, even if all he was doing was lame magic tricks. During the day was school, during the afternoons was clubs or various jobs he picked up, or hanging out with his friends. And even when they went into the TV and did things that would make any other kid crazy, the thought of trying to stop murders, of making sure each of his friends were healthy, happy, and generally okay. Even with everything, he knew that he could always come home and hear Nanako welcome him home with excitement and a smile.
He had a family to take care of in Inaba. And he wasn’t going to let any of them down.
