Invited by: n/a
→ CHARACTER INFO
Name: Shuuya Kano
Canon: Kagerou Project
Canon point: Daybreak CRAU (post-game, start of fall semester)
Age: 17
History: here
Personality: Generally, Kano takes things in stride, able to laugh in the middle of serious situations and find amusement in most anything, leading people to believe he's somebody cheerful and easy-going, or to otherwise appear in control of the situation or diffuse a difficult one, all for the purpose of lightening the mood so that others do not panic or worry. He's been living like this from a very young age, constantly putting up fronts to the point where he has no true sense of self, identifying his existence with pain and nothing else, and has come to the point where he cannot even trust his own self because everything about him is made up of lies. Underneath the mask, he's serious and perceptive, the person who acts most like the leader of the Mekakushi Dan because he's the one who drives them to action, the one who makes the first move when everybody else hesitates because doing so gives him the illusion of control, and breaks the ice for everybody to follow. With little to no self esteem, Kano dedicates his life to his family and friends, taking on dangers so they don't have to, and sacrificing himself to keep everybody safe— or even just to buy them a few more seconds in an otherwise futile end. With a life that is nothing but tragedy after tragedy, Kano spurns God and spurns the world, living out of spite and against his will, but he refuses to be broken because he hasn't lost everything: he still has his found family, and for them, he'll take on the role of the Fool.
CRAU: At the start of the game, Kano fully dedicates his life to keeping Ellie safe, who he considers a sister because they grew up in the same orphanage together, but eventually gains 2-3 more friends (and subsequently loses them... Kano has maybe one friend left at this point) who become the driving force of his development. Toki was the person Kano poured the most effort into being friends with, using his illusions to have fun and encourage Toki, all without realizing that Toki's perception of reality is breaking down, largely because of Kano's use of illusions, and Kano is forced to come to terms with the fact that giving Toki a fake world where everything is safe and happy is actually ruining his life, because Toki would rather live in a harsh world that is real. Throughout the game, Kano makes a series of demon contracts because he believes that his life is worth so little that he can only gain from them, one of which was a failed suicide run that ended up killing many of his friends and classmates, leading to a confrontation with Yuya where he forces Kano to remove his illusions and be real for once, and it's the first time Kano is able to cry and have a real conversation about hating himself, about how he doesn't let people in on his plans because he's the only one who should take the risk, and he's able to finally accept Yuya as somebody who would stay by his side through both the good and the bad, somebody he can trust and be real to. Yuya is the first friend Kano made but Maverick is the one who becomes like family, who not only confronts him about his beliefs and behavior but does Kano one better: Maverick is the one who pushes him to be better, the only person who believes in Kano and wants him to succeed, who wants him to go to school instead of giving up because he believes Kano has a future, and the one who provides a safe space for Kano no matter, a place where he can rest, so he can build himself back up from the foundations instead of constantly picking up the pieces to keep himself together. His friends are great and he doesn't feel alone anymore, but at the end of the day, he runs away from school to go live with Ellie in Canada because he believes he needs to focus on improving himself before he can face everybody back there again, though he also couldn't stand the atmosphere at Daybreak, where he is constantly under watch with his freedoms restricted and is universally distrusted— which are all consequences of his actions, but still!!- so he ran away from the place he considers more a prison than a school.
Powers:
- Illusions: Kano's illusions are greater than what they are in canon. He can change his own appearance to any person or animal that he's seen in person, as well as people's perceptions of his surroundings (arm span at the start of the game, eventually expanded to >30 ft radius). Normally, physical pain breaks his illusions, but numbing himself (see below) will negates this, although he'll still sustain the damage incurred.
- Healing & numbing: With physical contact, Kano is able to heal both physical and emotional wounds and numb pain. This isn't a power he's practiced much, so he's currently limited to healing flesh wounds and numbing himself or others to pain. With more practice, he'll be able to do use the magic much quicker, cure poison and other ailments, and dull people's emotions. Breaking physical contact interrupts the process, and it takes several seconds to minutes depending on the scope of what needs to be healed. Kano is bound to three rules as stated in his Contract: 1) he must not speak of the Contract to anybody else; 2) if somebody dies while he's trying to heal them, all of their pain will be transferred to him, although he will not die himself; 3) he must visit the Fey in the forest and tell it stories whenever it calls for him via cellphone. If he breaks these rules, the Fey will take his life.
- Death magic: Kano must have his hands be in physical contact with his target in order to use death magic, during which his hands are shrouded in black flickering shadows that will give him away unless he hides them with his illusion. Killing something will take several seconds to minutes depending on the size of the target and the amount of practice Kano's put into this magic (not very much at all... honestly just bacteria at this point), and if interrupted, the target will merely be sick. This magic requires basic knowledge of biology if he wants to narrow his target (e.g. placing his hands on a person with the magic on full blast will kill every living cell in that person's body, but if he understands the structure of a certain bacteria, he can kill just the bacteria and leave the person's body unharmed).
Inventory:
- Black hoodie
- Bag of holding... it's a magic bag that can hold an infinite number of items, of which Kano's got a whole bunch of junk:
several dozen tea bags (hibiscus, cinnamon and ginger, green, lemon and ginger, Earl Grey)
a couple of wrapped butter mints
several dozen of those little umbrellas that come with drinks
several old socks, all with holes in them, not in his size
several old socks, without holes in them, still not in his size
a couple yards of copper wire
a dozen Crayola crayons in assorted colors
several unused balloons
a spark plug
some used fire protection runes
one of Maverick's baseball caps
several tubes of rainbow glitter
a bottle of soy sauce
some hot chocolate powder packets
so many bandaids, like 3 years worth of bandaids
pocket notebook full of school notes
a bunch of crumpled but clean napkins
a single plastic spoon
several ketchup packets
a handful of plastic straws
a single rubber glove
two handfuls of sugar packets (the pink ones)
several popsicle sticks
a stress ball in the shape of a star
several booster packs of Magic cards
- Bag of colding (20 gallon capacity) with several dozen popsicles kept cold by inert gas
- Nokia brick phone that can't even display emojis, they're all boxes; on it hangs a Hello Kitty bee keychain and a lucky cat keychain
- Cat collar that has some fancy mechanism that can open the lock on Maverick's window, worn as a bracelet
- Ellie's switchblade that he never gave back, whoops
- YOU KNOW WHAT I'm going to say he smuggled his and Ellie's bearded lizard, Nightmare, with him on this mission
