|
Formerly a prominent neurosurgeon in Port City, Kichiro Higa quickly fell out of reputation upon the diagnosis of Apathy Syndrome in his daughter--and understandably so. He fell hard; so hard, in fact, he quit his job and withdrew from everything he knew in search of finding some kind of cure for her. However, as result, his marriage fell apart and he lost much...until he discovered his Persona. Learning about the mysteries behind the world at large, Kichiro quickly became obsessed in his research and regaining the life he had formerly lost. This newfound strength of mind enabled him to return to society once again, taking on a position at Fra Mauro University as a professor in its Biology department. But as well and good as he may appear, there is far more beneath the surface of Kichiro Higa than meets the eye. A man trapped by his past can be a desperate, dangerous thing.

| |
"I am thou... thou art I. I am Mephistopheles, Hell's representative, granter of dreams and desire..."
The Devil of Faustian lore, Mephistopheles was a servant of the Devil and enslaved by Hell's ruler. Granter of mystic wisdom and power, all he asks of those who desire such unearthly benefits is their soul. As a reflection of Kichiro himself, he is a constant reminder of his daughter and her affliction, his inspiration to never give up, never lose sight of his goals. Kichiro is a slave to his past, as Mephistopheles is to the Devil, both lamenting their lot, but determined in the end to get what they want--no matter what it may take.
SENSE: An incredibly annoying and uncomfortable feeling, like an itch that you just can't scratch to satisfaction, restless legs just as you're about to sleep, or the anxiety of waking up several minutes before a morning alarm goes off. It's a sense of dissatisfaction overlapping incredible want and desire, the desperation of seeking fulfillment and being so close--yet so far away at the same time.
SMELL: Burning leaves, and that sickeningly sterile smell of a hospital.
SOUND: The sound of night wind blowing through a barely closed window, the echo of footfalls down an empty hallway and the distant crackle and pop of something burning.

- Color Him Father: As a doctor, Kichiro Higa has seen many strange patients in his career. None are as strange as the mute Rui Onishi, a wounded young woman who takes it upon herself to see to her own treatment and care at Okina City’s hospital. To Doctor Higa, she is another patient. To Miss Onishi, she is the very image of the father she has lost.
