Other Characters: G'raha, Lillian
Character Name: Ryoji Mochizuki
Canon: Persona 3 (Paranormal AU)
Canon History: Here
Canon Personality: On the surface, Ryoji is a flirtatious, outgoing, slightly mischievous boy who basically wants to spend his days hitting on pretty girls (and is not at all deterred when they hit him as a result). However, this surface personality is only partially true. Ryoji adores... pretty much everything about life, and wants to experience as much of it as possible, and a lot of that means forming connections with other people. Underneath the flirting, he really has a genuine desire to become close to people, and even in his very short time where he's oblivious to his real nature he bonds very closely with several members of SEES. Even then, though, there's a sort of quiet sadness to him and quite a few moments of reflection, where he senses that things are not as they seem and he worries about what the future holds. After the reveal, he is deeply mournful and full of guilt for what he must do, and he tries to lessen the pain for his friends as much as he can. Importantly, though, he still gives them the choice- he doesn't understand why they still choose to fight and remember their coming doom, but he respects it and still tries to do whatever he can to help. He is, at his core, a thoughtful and helpful soul, who just wants the people around him to be happy and safe.
AU Name: Ryoji (Mori) Mochizuki
AU Birthday: March 5th
AU History: Ryoji was born Ryoji Mori, son of Nycissa Mori of Styx Enterprises. He vaguely knew of his father, but was raised solely by his mother in between her work as one of the top chairs of the company. He was raised fully with the expectation of succeeding her in that position, but it became pretty clear early on that that was going to be more difficult that expected. Though not a complete failure at school, Ryoji was always far more interested in socializing than studying and had absolutely no head for math or anything relating to business. Making it more difficult is that when he was about ten or so, he was in a serious car accident that, actually, killed him-- only for him to be saved by a possession. This was of great interest to Styx, and while Ryoji was never physically harmed during any of the following examinations, he (and his possessor) did not enjoy that At All and there was definitely some wrecked equipment in the process.
As he grew older, Ryoji grew more and more uncomfortable with the corporation and his imagined role it, especially the use of supernatural elements and their seeming attempt to exploit and control it (can anyone say specially designed probably sentient robots???). He was far more at ease to be around people in a caring capacity rather than any sort of leadership or management role, and while he understands the need for innovation and change, he doesn't think Styx's approach is doing much to actually help anyone.
So, when he graduated from high school, he decided he was going to go to college for nursing, with the intent of specifically helping those in palliative care. He went by his father's last name in order to disguise his relation to the company, and took out loans to pay for it himself since his mother didn't see the point of it all. He's been living on his own for a few years now, into his rotations now and working far too many hours. He's not officially estranged, his mother believing he's going through a rebellious stage and will 'come to his senses' eventually, which he's not at all sure how he's going to deal with when it comes to a head.
AU Personality Differences: Ryoji is... less guilt ridden than his canon counterpart, because as far as he knows he's not going to end the world in the next few months. In fact, he spends a lot of effort to keep himself from falling into despair (he's learned meditation and some other things) to prevent him from being dragged to the Spirit Realm as a result of his possession.
Element: Shadow
Purchased Powers: High level regeneration (3 points)
Moderate healing (2)
Minor boost at night (1)
Possession: He's possessed by the embodiment of the Death Arcana! :D Yaaaay!
Contract price 1: A lengthy ritual that must be performed every full moon at midnight. (weirdly, he feels like it always takes less time than it should, but it still works soooooo)
Contract price 2: He must carry at least the card of the Death Arcana with him at all times. (He usually keeps a full deck with him, plus an extra card. He's considering getting a tattoo just so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.)
