personality
takashi is a cunning man, constantly thinking about the next steps, the angles he can exploit, and the leverage he could gain. He is a realist who expects the worst from humanity (and wolf-kind) and does not allow himself to hope for anything different. he is strategic as he is decisive, finding that a man’s word is as close to honor as one can get. he is charismatic at the best of times, courageous (or stubbornly fearless), and incredibly loyal to those he favors, whom he promises to protect, and to the small few who mean the world to him. He is kind and generous to those who work beneath him.
he is someone who grips tightly to control; without it, Takashi will inevitably spiral. he is adaptable and resourceful, finding that creative thinking is often a solution many overlook. however, he is incredibly paranoid, always believing that betrayal is just around the corner, and thus finds it incredibly difficult to trust new faces. This can simultaneously leave him avoidant of all sorts of emotional ties with others, leaving him lonely more often than not. he is fatalistic, knowing that life is short and he will inevitably die; this can make him fearless when bravery should hold hands with fear. At the worst of times, he is vindictive, callous, and pragmatic. he rarely allows emotions to color his actions, his decisions, or his worldview. See more in Persona
The deeper you go, the darker it gets
Because he genuinely believes he's good for nothing but dying.
Tarot Card
⚔ The Emperor
Disciplined and self-assured, Takashi is a man who takes the lead. He is ambitious in his endeavors, dominating in pursuing what he believes he is rightfully due, all the while being incredibly protective of his people and dependable when time matters most.
⚔ The Devil
On the other hand, Takashi can become attached to his more disingenuous side, falling back into painful habits, obsessive and paranoid thoughts, as well as acting on those darker inhibitions.
MBTI:ENTJ
⚔ Often coined 'The Chief' or 'Commander,' Takashi is a leader who is strategic, logical, and realistic. He does well in the face of a crowd, charismatic to the end, but it takes more than a winning smile to complete the work he sets out to do. He is an observer, perceptive in patterns of behavior, and always thinking ten steps ahead. He is someone who favors logic, who removes empathy and feelings from the decisions he must make. He is a man of control, with a rigid grip composed of structure and routine. He does not like to stray to places where he does not already have a hand in another's basket.
