CHARACTER: CANON SECTION
NAME: Goro Akechi
AGE: 18
CANON: Persona 5
NAME: Goro Akechi
AGE: 18
CANON: Persona 5
CANON HISTORY: under "profile"! spoilers ahoy, batman, goddamn
CANON PERSONALITY: A modest, polite young man who is rather friendly and seems to be a real goody-two-shoes, working hard to capture the truth of the world and bring injustice to light. Akechi's a model student, a perfect example of what one should aspire to be, and his beautiful looks gather the attention of many fans; it's canonically stated that he's got a sexy appeal by several characters, and it's fitting that they have such thoughts of him, that they look at him and see what they do.
It is, after all, the image he wants to put out.
Akechi's certainly hard-working. He's definitely amiable and the like, but all of this comes from a deep need to prove himself and be the center of attention in a sly way, and instead of just acting out like normal teens do his form of "rebellion" is playing pretend and being consciously more mature, more adult-like, just to fit in. Just to be wanted by those others. He doesn't particularly care about people his own age, or so it seems, just adults. This comes from the frankly tragic backstory he's got, the stigma of being a bastard child taken more into account by the older generation than anyone in his current, his mother's suicide and the passing through different foster homes, all of which are implied to have been loveless in their own way. All he wants is to belong someplace, and so he's carving that himself, because--
He's the only one he can trust. That's his line of thought, and one that resounds clearly in his interactions with pretty much everyone; he likes being the person that's needed by others, he likes being depended on and proving that people's expectations aren't high enough, he keeps his cards to his chest. It's particularly evident when he joins up with the Phantom Thieves in Sae's Palace after blackmailing them, leading them in a manner that's more "I can do this by myself, let me show off" than "we're a team, let's figure it out together", and he says as much in his villainous breakdown during the traitor fight in Shido's Palace, how things like friends and comrades are useless and wastes of time. Akechi always viewed himself an outcast because of the way adults treated him, because of the way their children may have treated him, how the power-wielding generation of society views that stigma and the loss of his mother, and so he grew completely dependent on himself, loosened any attachments and discarded the idea that they were necessary, viewing bonds purely as chains holding one down.
And that's true, to a point, but it's those same bonds that separates the protagonist from him, and the Justice Confidant seems to be more in line with Akechi... forming it, so to say, in the same way that the protagonist forms confidants with everyone else. It goes both way, though, because they're both Wild Cards. Akechi's sole "confidant" is the protagonist, which seems to give rise to his Persona Robin Hood, and by plot demands it ranks up. Morgana comments on it too, and it's what actually sets Akechi off during the traitor fight.
Still, even that is a kind of act that Akechi plays too -- a lot of what he does is just layers and layers of masks, of different roles, each with their own purpose. For the public he's the Detective Prince, a model student and the like; for Shido, his employer, he's effectively a villain to be trusted (and a tool to be used, but he isn't aware of that so much), and whatever qualms he might have about killing are smushed down with disassociation; for the Phantom Thieves... for the Phantom Thieves, he played an ally who had admittedly selfish reasons for his justice (he wants to get back at the society that allowed the injustices of his childhood, in Japanese there's another more nuanced reason that he's rebelling against that man too), he played a newbie to the Metaverse (even if it's kind of clear he picks up things really fast, very much someone who already knows things pretending they don't), he played with the role of someone essential for helping out with Sae's Palace, and... he ultimately played a ruthless foe that would have nothing to do with them, that didn't want their friendship and called them stupid for offering a hand after all he'd done.
The last is by far the most real of them, but that doesn't make the rest of the roles any less false.
The Metaverse has the wonderful effect on people in that there's a side they don't usually show: For someone like Haru Okumura, the formal, kind rich girl turns into someone who's got no problem with slashing down her enemies, who wields a grenade launcher, who's a little sadistic with the power and freedom she's finally experiencing outside of her role as the heiress of a company. For Goro Akechi, it reveals him as someone who's eager for attention, who likes to be depended on and the center of attention, who is absolutely the most dramatic bitch of the Thieves and loves flourishes and flairs. His endcard for All-Out Attacks is by far the most flashy, it's completely at odds with the more humble appearance he has for the public.
He also seems to want to be friendly and amiable with the Thieves despite his blackmailing. Akechi is a bit of a contradiction in this, wanting one thing and thinking it's trash, but it can simply be put as the following: Akechi wants something that, for the longest time, he was told he could not have by virtue of what he was, and therefore sees anything in regards to that as either a farce to get in good with the persona he's made his appearances or as pity for the circumstances of his life. He's distrustful of good things, as much as he'd like to have them, but this only applies to things given to him by others; he's perfectly willing to have them as long as he's the one in control of where the goods came from, essentially.
SKILLS/ABILITIES:
Robin Hood is a Persona of the Justice Arcana, seemingly springing from the bond he shares with the protagonist. He resists Bless skills and is weak to Curse skills, and can use a variety of attacks.
Loki is also of the Justice Arcana, and is thought to be Goro's initial Persona. He resists both Bless and Curse skills. While Loki's skills can be seen under the phase two tab, there's one in particular that isn't listed: Call of Chaos.
Call of Chaos is the aforementioned power of Loki's, able to release the "bonds" on a person's heart and essentially throw inhibitions and a care for society out the window. Goro uses it to reveal scandals he "solves cases" for and to disrupt otherwise sound minds to Shido's own ends, such as causing a subway conductor to speed through a station he was going to stop at and crash, injuring many. In battle, it causes a kind of "attack buff"/"enrage" with swirling black smoke surrounding the target.

PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES: None!
AU NAME: Goro Akechi
AU AGE: 18
PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES: None!
AU HISTORY: All permissions granted by their respective muns!
Born in Japan to a single parent household, Goro Akechi didn't have the easiest of childhoods; he was scrutinized as a bastard child by an older generation, and their children followed in true duckling form despite not quite understanding why. His mother was worse off, however, for being without a husband, for having a child without a father, and the speed at which she accepted her sister's offer to house them in Recolle until she got her bearings was almost shameful. It took a few years more, just to set things up and the like, but at the age of twelve Goro and his mother left Japan and sought comfort under his aunt's roof.
Recolle was different than Japan in such a way it blew his mind, but old habits died hard and he found himself more interested in books than other children -- particularly those of the mystery genre, from thrillers to detective stories with gentleman thieves, as well as more picaresque novels. Becoming a detective and experiencing such amazing thrills, to be admired by all for intellect and wit, to scour a room and be able to tell exactly the kind of person was there or had been there-- it seemed amazing, felt realistic enough to be a dream he could accomplish, and Goro decided at that early age to become one, going so far as to ask for a "kit" containing such important Detective Details like a magnifying glass, a fake pipe, and (of course) all he would need to uncover fingerprints, understand a number of different codes, and a notebook specialized for Detectives In Training.
His aunt is at fault for starting his love of mystery books and still is the biggest perpetrator despite her sister's worries; she has an outstanding collection he enjoys rereading and discussing with her. Her husband's also been a light in his life despite not being as big on the book scene, the closest thing Goro has to a father figure, and they both consider him to be as much their son as he is his mother's. They're both teachers, so an importance of education has been instilled in him.
Their home is cozy and well-off due to their jobs and a degree in finances, and while Goro and his mother had been invited to stay as long as needed his mother already felt bad about being a burden to the family she had in Recolle, so moving out was essential; they ended up in an apartment on the smaller side, big enough for just them and with only the necessities (which included a TV). She works several jobs to keep up with the payments needed to continue their lifestyle and often comes home late, so Goro's learned to cook so she has something to eat when she finally gets home, each year bringing a new skill to ease her stress. Both aunt and uncle hold a quiet respect for her and remind her often that their doors are always open.
Unfortunately, being a detective -- specifically a Private Eye, like the heroes in his stories -- is a long game; you need experience in the field to be a real one, and to have some criminal knowledge as well, and being a man of reason Goro knows that it's going to end up being more of a hobby than a real job -- especially since they actually don't get paid very well short of being the owner of their own agency.
As a result, being scouted in high school by a modelling agency was possibly the best thing that could've happened to him. He's not incredibly passionate about the work, but his pretty face and natural charm gets him gigs and tidy sums to go with it. And despite wanting to give back to the people that raised him, they all agree that he needs to keep it for himself for when he starts to make it out on his own in the world. It's annoying! He helps pays for groceries and repairs anyway, tucking the rest into savings for the future. Gets pretty ticked at people calling his casework a "hobby" too.
It was also at this time that Goro managed to find some work in being a detective, bringing home much-needed money for a mother that lived paycheck to paycheck, and refused to stop. Goro Majima (sotenbori) in particular has enjoyed hiring him for jobs like this, because outlandish dreams of gaining a nemesis in True Detective Form is something to encourage.
There had always been another reason for his interest in being a detective as well; overheard in a conversation with his aunt and mother, Goro learned a little about the father that hadn't stayed around, hadn't bothered to take care of the woman he'd gotten pregnant, and decided that this was positively the best way to find who he was meet him someday. He doesn't have much of taste for revenge on his biological dad at this point; he wants to know who he is, of course, and to meet him someday just to see how different they are, to see what his mother saw in that man in the first place, but he's not entirely sure how he'd feel about it if it came to pass. Angry, for allowing him and his mother to suffer the older generation's sneers? Hatred? Or would there just be... nothing. The man could be dead for all Goro knows, and that should be enough, but it'd be a waste not to try. Outside of that, he's entirely happy with his family. The clues on their own aren't helpful and he realizes he's going to have to return to Japan at some point to really make headway, so in the meanwhile he's decided to focus on his studies and helping with the upkeep of his family.
Though Goro doesn't have any... real friends, no one that he'd really ask to hang out with (though he politely accepts pretty much anyone offering in the first place), there's a few individuals that he finds good company, such as Yukiko Amagi (burningblossoms) who is also a lover of mysteries, admittedly more of the... more supernatural variety, as far as he can tell, and has a club dedicated to them with her friends (and a dog). She's a pleasant, if kind of odd girl, and though the Mystery Club she has at the moment is closed for membership he's rather intrigued by it.
There's also fellow graduate Silver (feistytrader) who is... something kind of like a friend? Silver bully-teases him because Goro is easily bully-teased and generally takes it in stride anyway, sniping back his own retorts, and one of these playful sessions ended getting him a black eye. After realizing that Goro was more confused and kind of pathetic about the punch than wanting to really hit him back, Silver stopped trying to pick literal fights with him.
Finally, there's Akira Kurusu (maskreant), a barista at a cat café that he began to frequent within the past couple of months. Goro likes to bring his work there, both the detective kind as well as school, and has ended up rather good acquaintance with the "purrista" as a result; he enjoys soundboarding ideas and the like off of Akira, and finds the little tales and stories the other spins for him to solve (down to details of aliases and anonymous letters with hints) positively charming and fun. That wasn't where he met the other, though, even if it's the place he'd connect Akira to most of all; Goro had run into him a few times on Detective Business, a kind of "wrong place right time" sort of deal, but at this point he's penned it down to fate.
He graduated this past year from Recolle High, and is looking forward to Recolle University with an interest in Criminology.
AU PERSONALITY: The most notable differences about Goro is that a lot of his openness, his sincerity is real; he does have an image to keep up, but it's more about being respected and admired in general than hanging onto the public's good graces; it's the reason he prefers his last name too, because it sounds professional. As a result, he's someone that's more laid back than his canon counterpart, seeing as he doesn't have to watch his every step. He still doesn't let others close so easy either, but... friends is a word with weight, with meaning to him, and it's simply because of his home situation and old habits that he keeps others a soft push away. Not quite arm's length, but his heart's not entirely on his sleeve. He's certainly closer to those that know already (like Silver, who recognizes the same habit he has of coupon clipping and the like), even if he might not say so direct to that person's face.
He's more able to trust others as well! Goro knows he's not alone in the world, that people are better than the cynics say, and while he isn't naive about it he's willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, willing to lay out general problems and actually talk over deflection and avoidance. If someone comes to him wanting an ear to listen he doesn't see it as an annoyance, doesn't take in information to use against the other later, he's entirely face value.
There's also the matter of justice. In canon, he's got a black and white view of the world, only empowered by the circumstances of his birth and growing up without his mother. In Recolle it's different, he recognizes the moral grey and, while still processing things logically, allows for emotional errors, a little softer depending on the case's circumstances. Still stern, still within the law, but not as harsh. Someone who looks at the situation as a whole, takes each part and puts it in context with the next. As a result, someone who's just stealing for kicks is going to get a very different Goro than one that's stealing because they need to. Just as an example.
