Difference between revisions of "Shirou Sekigawa/Social Links"

• Souji Seta: The 'Boss' or Seta-senpai and someone he's talked to a few times now. Shirou's gearing up to try and make him take his ideas seriously, and prove his worth to the Investigation Team. It's been slow going. To say the least.

• Tohru Adachi: Inaba detective, and someone Shirou's talked to on and off again. Shown a lot of concern for the boy, and he took it easy on Fumiya, so he's okay in his book.

• Yosuke Hanamura: Fellow member of the KDA. Kind of a moron, but way better at trolling. Always refers to him respectfully as Hanamaru-senpai... usually. Helped Yosuke run Fort Junes while he was gone; even going so far as to steal his room when he wasn't there.

• Shiki Ichimonji: His own personal Rival. Has no aim, but he won't hold that against him. Slowly learning more about the manga boy, and would have helped him out more in Mikage-cho if it wasn't for the fact that he stayed on the East side as a form of penance. Generally tries to hang with Shiki when life is getting a bit /too/ intense.

• Yukiko Amagi: Amagi-senpai. Tried to get a restful weekend for the KDA going at the Inn, but it kind of fell through. She got to see him break reality. Recently she experimented on him, giving him new chocolates to taste for Valentine's Day; she was going to perfect something for Chie. The fact that Shirou is still standing proves the boy has a Destiny to achieve.

• Masumi Hayashi: A still forming relationship, Shirou has run into Masumi several times now. While at first a little shocked and perplexed by his wearing a dress and preferring to be referred to as a 'she', he quickly accepted this fact. The fact that he oogled him for a moment afterwords wasn't lost on Shirou either.

• Shiori Hibiki: One of his best female friends, he met Shiori on and off for a few times; it wasn't until they were caught together in Mikage-cho that they had any real direct dealings. She stayed behind with Shirou and a few others while Yosuke lead the charge to the east side of the city. He tries his best to help her out, especially since life just keeps screwing with her.

• Yuuka Chiba: A rather caustic friendship, with each of them snipping at each other over the boards and phone. But they're still friends, with Shirou even saving her life after she got stabbed. Had a small crush on Yuume-Mi, her idol self from an alternate time line he vaguely remembers; this has led to an increase of snark on his end as a cover.

Shirou has no noticeable Empress links.

Shirou has no noticeable Emperor links.

• Mae Ikina: Former crush. Tried to help her tract down Lucas Xavier, but that too fell through. Hadn't seen her in months, and is rather concerned that she's simply vanished somehow. Is determined to help 'save' her.

• Nobuhiko Sekigawa: NPC. Shirou's father, a cold, domineering man. Has basically made life hell for Shirou, since the teen isn't his own son; Midori had him from an affair. He would rather tell someone else how to run their life then to figure out how to fix his own. Shirou plans on moving out as soon as possible, and sever ties with him.

• Midori Sekigawa: NPC. Shirou's mother; a woman kept in a loveless marriage, she used to treat Shirou rather coldly due to reminding her of her affair. Recently she's warmed back up to him and tried to undo some of the damage she's caused; Shirou was quick to forgive her as well, placing most of the blame for his treatment as a child on his father. She still remembers fondly the days before she married Nobuhiko.

• Fumiya Watanabe: One of his best male friends. Usually just referred to as 'Fumiya' or 'That Idiot'. Tried his best to keep Fumiya out of the TV and all the general WTFery, and of course that failed. Helped to get him back /out/ of the TV, and it was his first rescue mission. They're still pretty much bros, working together and studying for classes.

• Chie Satonaka: Satonaka-senpai. Shirou has a tiny crush on her, but he'd never voice it. She's tough and spunky and living under someone else's shadow, something he's used to. Was Dynamic Entried by her in Mikage-cho. Worried about her a little bit during the Shion Rescue Investigation, but due to being 'treed' he couldn't quite help her or learn more.

• Nanako Dojima: Nanako Dojima is Souji's cousin, but is referred to as his little sister. She's also the daughter of the police detective Ryotaro Dojima, so a big part of working with Souji involves making sure Nanako is safe from the supernatural things. She's gotten in trouble a few times by interfering in things that she shouldn't have been in the area with, and as such, has seen Shirous' darker side. She still seems to like him though.

• Ichiya Chigiri: His counter-balance; instantly recognized his resonance as a mirror of his own in Junes. First was on edge because of it, but after finding out that he's been fighting against That Bastard Kandori, he's trying to keep him as a friend. Worked with him in Mikage-cho, and again to break into Kandori's room in the KNOWS facility. That last one was a bust, as they were found out quickly.

• Hajime Sekigawa: NPC. Shirou's oldest brother, first of four. A quiet but strong willed man, he's taken over for his father as priest of the shrine. While he resents the coldness that his father used on all the brothers, he remains steadfast at his side. The fairest and calmest of the brothers, he tries to treat Shirou normally, even with the age difference.

Shirou has not noticeable Hermit links.

• Koichi Nakano: Another friend, and the other kid he was thrown into the TV with. That tends to make you friends no matter what. Has been talking to him before and after the events, but his own obsession with fighting Kandori is hurting that.

• Kenji Kurosawa: The street samurai himself. One of Shirou's first real friends, he tried to nurture Shirou's hidden hot-bloodedness. Had lost touch with him, but recently saw him again. Wither or not he sticks around remains to be seen.

• Yoh Yamagatani: Shirou just thought he was a typical delinquent meathead... but after repeated meetings, he's come to realize that while Yoh isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, he's a good guy and means well. He's still kind of an idiot though.

• Reki Kurusu: A middle schooler to become a first-year high school student this year. Shirou sees a lot of himself in the industrious and serious kid; but he also sees that the poor kid is going /way/ overboard on trying to be an adult already. So he's keeping an eye out for him. They've exchanged words on the matter now, and Shirou's trying to get Reki into the KDA now that the kid has awakened to his Persona.

Shirou has no noticeable Death links.

• Naomi Suzuno: A fast forming friendship. Met her literally a day before the Mikage-cho incident. He was secretly rather smitten with her initially, which made it even more awkward as she stayed in Fort Junes as he took over it when Yosuke left. Thinks she's smart, sophisticated, charming, and way out of his league. His love and loyalty to Thora also helps prevent his feelings from turning from friendship to anything else.

• Masako Junnishi: A minor idol that Shirou's run into a few times now. He was very respectful and polite to her at first, but when she used her sharp tongue, he was more then happy to quip back, verbally sparring with her. Has given her his number in case her streak of bad luck holds, as he has an odd feeling weirdness will continue to follow her.

• Thora Kobayashi: Intimate Rank relationship. Originally rather hated her, as she was a threat to Mae, his then crush. That changed when Kenji forced him to ask the next girl out he saw after being rejected by Mae... and that was Thora. Of course. After rightfully being flattened for embarrassing her, he offered her another date as an apology. Their relationship has grown from that, each of them finding in one another what they need. He loves her for her strength and uncompromising attitude, her love of samurai flicks and a mutual love of metal. The fact that she could lift him up over her own shoulder doesn't hurt things either. He purposely speared the DVA Device during Halloween after getting riled up by Kandori and Aki, both refusing to tell him where she was (trapped in Mikage-cho). This coincidentally fulfilled an oath he gave to her before Thora went to the KNOWS facility; that if they had tried to hurt her, he'd tear the world down around their ears. This he even swore to the Gods; it's unknown just yet what reaction they had to that.

• Hinata Itoh: The youngest of the three infamous Itoh sisters. While she was there to help save Shirou in his TV dungeon, it wasn't until recently that they've started talking to each other more. She's cool, and they both impress each other with their respective mindsets.

• Sanzou Sekigawa: NPC. Shirou's closest in age brother, but probably furthest in personality. A bullheaded kid that's making a name for himself as a soccer ace, he's got a scholarship to Lunarvale Community College. He hopes to become a famous soccer player, and is on his way there.

Shirou has no noticeable Moon links.

• Shion Katsuragi: Semi-mentor to Shirou. Katsuragi-san, as always. Was not happy to hear that Shirou was going to use Fumiya as bait to catch the killer. Has volunteered to help Shirou start tracking down his biological father, David Goddard.

• Jitarou Sekigawa: NPC. The brother Shirou's closet to, and the second of four. Having left the house to go to college in Sumaru University, enrolling in the Law department. He mellowed out after realizing how much of a jerk he was acting towards his younger brothers, and has giving Shirou a lot of time and attention, and tries to be a 'cool' older brother.
