Character Info
Character's Name: Yuuya Sakazaki
Character's Canon: Hatoful Boyfriend
Character's Age: 17
Canon Point: After the discussion with Hiyoko on November 10th, in which he leaves St. Pigeonations.
Background/History: link
Strengths:
Yuuya Sakazaki always attempts to be the birdie everybirdie wants to be. While some of it is part of a crafted image, a lot of his apparent strengths are still his own.
He projects an image of utmost confidence. He delivers line after line without so much as a stutter (the only exception being once, when he was being shot at). He’s a self-proclaimed ladies’ bird and reaps the rewards of popularity. Part of this is posturing, a defense mechanism so that it’s difficult for the doctor to make him disappear but he does seem to enjoy being personable and spending time with the game’s protagonist. Even when he’s on-duty as a Dove Party operative he’s cheery and flirty and wants to act like a cool guy. In the balance of the things he does to avoid disappearing, his confidence and bright personality seem to be sincere.
Also helping him avoid the doctor’s cleaver is his quick-wittedness. When he gets put into a stressful or harmful situation, his first instinct is to start looking for solutions. He realized that his father was most likely killed to make his mother available and looked for some way to save his little brother. He dances around Doctor Iwamine at school, only failing when Hiyoko doesn’t lie for him. He’s even capable of quickly accepting strange or supernatural events (partially due to the weird nature of the canon) and adapting. In the Holiday Star story, for example, Yuuya is able to reason out the rules of a strange dreamscape while attempting his rescue mission.
While he does tend to work alone in the main story of the game, Yuuya also shows a lot of loyalty and ability to work with others. This was likely instilled in his by his training with the Dove Party and his superior agent, Leone J.B. (the Bright and Massive to Yuuya’s Sexy and Suave). He can even work together with someone he doesn’t trust, like school doctor and local sociopath Shuu Iwamine. He goes so far as to make a deal with Shuu and holds to that deal until the doctor breaks it first. There’s a degree of honor among liars there that only intensifies when he’s working with someone he actually cares for. His loyalty to his brother, Leone, or the protagonist is unwavering and he’ll do anything in both the positive and negative senses of the word.
A lot of Yuuya’s traits hold some duality and, with the correct spin, could be viewed as both his strengths and his failings.
Weaknesses:
While Yuuya projects an image of confidence and relies on his strong points to carry him through tough situations, the truth is more complicated.
Yuuya is a liar. Yuuya spins lie after lie without so much as a twinge on his face. He lies so often that he can pepper in the unbelievable truth (like telling Hiyoko she could get dismembered for being around him) and not have it register at all. That dishonesty is built deep into him from his work as a spy and from lying about his brother’s egg at the very beginning of his life. When he gets caught in lies, he tends to accept it.
He tends to just accept a lot of things in his life. For being someone so action and plan-oriented, he’s remarkably fatalistic. He’s accepted that his younger brother hates him and makes no moves to change it. The protagonist usually has to arrange situations where they connect and Yuuya’s happy to just be yelled at. At lot of this manifests from his guilt at smashing the Le Bel egg. After all, if he accepts that he’s a murderer, he must also accept that he doesn’t deserve good things. He can’t even say he did it to save his brother. Some part of him wonders if he didn’t switch the eggs and smash them just to spite his new father.
Finally, he’s not as decisive as he’d ever like to be. He was able to commit the crime to save his brother but lets it haunt him for the rest of his life. He considers telling Sakuya the truth about their relationship but, even in a life-threatening situation, has trouble telling him. He’s hesitant, or even afraid, to let that information slip and that ends up with him being blackmailed. Under the influence of blackmail, in an alternate route, he even allows himself to be accomplish to a human body’s mutilation just because he goes along with the situation. He almost dies because of it.
He would spin these traits as being mysterious, enduring, and cautious but in reality they’re hindrances and he knows it. Still, they’re not necessarily things he would try to improve due to point two above.
Powers/Abilities:
• Can fly, considering he has wings.
• Can use and fire an anti-material rifle, despite having wings.
• Is capable of hacking high-level intelligence systems due to his training as an agent of the Dove Party.
• Is described by the protagonist as "ripped," although considering he is still a pigeon, it's hard to tell what approximate physical strength this equates to.
Other Noteworthy Traits: Yuuya Sakazaki is a large, super-intelligent pigeon. Everything he does is somehow done with wings instead of hands because Hatoful Boyfriend is just like that.
Considering the nature of the game and inspiration drawn from folk tales and fairy tales, Yuuya's feathery nature should be able to be waved away as weirdness. He has a "human" form (canonly described as an approximation of what he'd look like as a human) that may be used for events or ooc memes but the majority of the time he will be a bird.
Weapons & Other Special Inventory:
• On-person: One pair of glasses with fake lenses, his yellow-orange tie, a bird wallet with various bird things in it.
• Special inventory: One (1) Anti-material rifle to be used only on occasions that are very, very funny and not to metagame.
Color: Yellow (if possible, #ECAA54). It's the color of his glasses and tie, and reflects the fact that he openly presents a very flippant and lackadaisical attitude. He would want to be grouped with yellow and the aspects do mesh well enough with the surface level of his personality.
Sample: tdm toplevel
World Aspect: Having highly intelligent birds may go against the aspect of Awash having no NPC characters but throwing in a variety of pigeons and partridges would certainly make him feel more at home (or slightly like a human surrounded by multitudes of nonsentient humans).
