Profile And Skills
|
Profile: Son of a former officer, it's perhaps no surprise that Katsuya became a cop himself. His forthright nature and diligence have earned him the rank of sergeant in his years with the Sumaru Police Force... and also irritated his superiors. Formerly a liaison with the student organization SEES in Port Island, he's since been reassigned to the Inaba police force, to assist with their investigations into the bizarre serial murder cases. Much to his younger brother's dismay, however, the distance hasn't stopped him from attempting to meddle in Tatsuya's life. After all, his brother has his future to consider!
Skills: You're All Under Arrest!, In My Father's Name, Drawing a Line in the Sand, Overachiever, Overprotective, Overdoing It, Sol Nigredo, Impending Cat Pun, Wishes His Little Brother Would Just Stop Getting into Trouble, Terpsimbrotos, Just the Facts Ma'am, Cannot Deny It Pets (Even if it Makes Him Sneeze), Ghost Story Aficionado, Secret Skill: Dessert Chef, Secret Skill: Flamenco Guitar

History
|
Born in Sumaru City, Katsuya is older of the two Suou boys. In 1999, two events occurred that would change his life: first his younger brother was badly injured by an arsonist, and then his father was arrested for accepting bribes from the yakuza. Going on to college, he later entered the police academy and then the force in Sumaru. Shortly after rising to the rank of sergeant in 2009, he was reassigned to Tatsumi Port Island to work with a student organization there. During this time, he experienced the Dark Hour and awoke to the power of Persona. After about a year, his position was changed again, this time to Inaba to assist in the serial murder investigation.

Interrogation: "The first thing I'd like to know... where were you on the night of the incident?" Katsuya interrogates the demon.

Sharing Sweets: "Hmm, it seems like I have an extra pastry here. You can have it, if you want." Retrieving a spare treat, Katsuya offers it to the demon in a display of kindness.

|
Katsuya has 20/40 vision without glasses.

|
He is terribly allergic to cats. This is worse for him than it might seem because he finds them absolutely adorable but he just can't handle being around them.
|
His favorite foods include any kind of curry and anything sweet. He has no particular disliked food, aside from foods that are way too spicy. He's also not fond of drinking coffee after curry.

Combat Information
|
As a police officer, it should come as no surprise that Katsuya can handle himself well in combat. Tough and strong, he's capable of running down and wrestling with a suspect if need be. He is skilled with firearms and possesses good aim and reflexes. He also has the mentality required of an officer, the ability to make split-second decisions. On the other hand, though, slight misfortune seems to dog much of his life.
Special: Action Roll - Taking a very dramatic action, Katsuya aims and fires with his handgun in the same motion.

Persona Information and Resonance
|
"I am Helios... Bearing the ancient sun, I am the one who violates the night! I shall become your loyal chariot!"
Helios was the Greek personification of the Sun, much like his Roman counterpart Sol Invictus. Charioteer of the Sun, he was often linked with Apollo, but remained to the Greeks a separate entity. Among his children was Phaeton, who met with a cruel fate when he mishandled the Chariot of the Sun. His father was Hyperion, the lord of light and the east. Another story about Helios relates to him spying upon Ares and Aphrodite while they engaged in one of their trysts, and reporting it to Hephaestus, who then ensnared his wife and her lover in golden nets.
Resonance:
Hard work and persistence. Those two sensations make up the main theme of Katsuya's resonance. It's much akin to the progress with which the sun rolls across the sky, slow but steady, but not without impact upon what lies beneath. But rather than scorching rays, there's the sense of illumination, that what is Right and True is illuminated.
By smell, it's surprisingly clean, like laundry left out to dry in the sun, with just a hint of something... cat-like, as if some feline took an afternoon nap right on top of the aforementioned sun-warmed laundry. By sound, it's most notably the creak of a turning wheel, but it's also punctuated by something softer, something that seems to rustle in the wind.
His connection with Helios, the god with the epithet of Panoptes or 'all-seeing', has granted him the ability to feel a very vague awareness of the nearby presence of another person, Persona-user or not, no matter how quiet they may be. This is by no means infallible, of course, and he cannot determine anything more than 'someone is nearby'. He also has some general talent with detecting resonance, although it can again fail at times and only works at a fairly close range.

- Tohru Adachi: "Impulsivity" - Katsuya's housemate and a fellow detective in Inaba. He agreed to live with him and Enoha for a time due to some problems with their landlord. They've ended up as partners temporarily at least once so far. He's Enoha's boyfriend. Not a Persona-user, but in the know.
- II - The Priestess
- Aki: "Duality" - A mysterious girl with a twin sister, Mai. Katsuya's played a big brother role towards her several times thus far. He's learned who Aki really is--the manifestation of a split in the psyche of Maki Sonomura.
- Kiyomi Ninomae: "Formality" - A blind woman with the power of Persona. Katsuya asked for her assistance on a case he's been working on in private, and in doing so, managed to lead her right into Mikage-cho. While they both escaped, he later formally apologized to her for the incident. Her Persona has a unique power, it'd seem, and although he's reluctant to endanger a blind woman, she might be able to help him find the missing girl.
- XI - Strength
- Enoha Koinose: "Reunion" - Katsuya's housemate, and a former classmate from his high school years. She's dating Adachi. He finally met her brother upon an expedition into the caves beneath Inaba, and is currently quite concerned about Enoha running off into the caves alone, in the wake of the disappearance of the survey team. She is a Persona-user.
- Jason R. Butler: "Opposites" - A private investigator, working alongside the Inaba PD. He's Leigh Anne's ex. While he and Katsuya are about as different as can be, they generally get along socially. Currently they're working together on a missing persons case in Lunarvale.

- Leigh Anne O'Hara: "Bewilderment" - The new medical examiner at the Inaba Police Department, here to assist with the serial murders. She has a history with Jason. She quite easily knocks Katsuya out of his comfort zone.
- XIX - The Sun
- Tatsuya Suou: "Immaturity" - Katsuya's wayward younger brother. He worries about how Tatsuya is doing quite often, and wishes he would apply himself more and stop acting like a delinquent so much. He has, to Katsuya's infinite dismay, a Persona, and has gotten into very dangerous situations with it. Right now, he's also wondering what's gone wrong with their relationship.
- Shion Katsuragi: "Discipline" - Katsuya's partner in Inaba; he gets along with her quite well. He learned about the secret of the TV World from her. She possesses the power of Persona.
