Player: Yue Contact: PM Anything Else?: It feels like the only games I've played this year are JRPGs inspired by Lovecraft, which is an insanely specific genre, but also, I have not gotten tired of it yet.
Background: Charismatic young man with expertise in psychology is thrust into a leadership position and somehow becomes the impromptu therapist of 500+ people, writes a song about being absolutely sick of the world, and decides the solution is to end all of existence.
Ritsu is that guy everyone only seems to be able to say positive things about. The type who always gets put on a pedestal and whom no one can seem to imagine having any problems in his life. In truth, though, he's struggling with some major feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing.
Abilities:way too much. The most relevant for this event is his ability to undo changes to one's mental state.
Plans: Ritsu has been avoiding his Catharsis Effect like the plague since he's gotten here because it runs on his emotions (and thus makes it much harder for him to repress those emotions), so I'm excited for the fact that it looks like this event will give him no choice but to finally use them. He'll be able to temporarily free someone from their mind control, but please note that this process will involve him shooting a bunch of energy bullets at your character. It won't be a super great time for anyone.
It's difficult for me to say with conviction that Ritsu will actually lose his composure to the point where he shows his true self, as he is annoyingly good at hiding his insecurities and pretending that he's just fine, but maybe! Hopefully! His CR will finally see a Ritsu that isn't 100% hidden behind the mask of personable leader/therapist friend.
Also, before I forget, he has a permissions post up for his observational abilities/odd tendency for ending up as the designated therapist.
