〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Eikichi Mishina
CHARACTER AGE: 16
SERIES: Persona 2 : Eternal Punishment
CHRONOLOGY: End of the game, 'badder' end were Eikichi regains his memories
CLASS: Hero
HOUSING: Can you please put him with Tatsuya Suou if he is accepted (with approval from potential player)
BACKGROUND: Behold, the Wiki | Here's Innocent Sin's story as told from a Official Player Guide in Japan (translated) and His Story in Eternal Punishment.
PERSONALITY:
In life, Eikichi "Michel" Mishina wants to take the center stage.
At first glance he seems self-centered, narcissistic and concentrated on wanting to leave his mark on the world. Eikichi, or as he likes to call himself by his band stage name, Michel (remember the name well, babe), is someone that wants to be heard. He is not just someone to pass by on the street, oh no, he is meant to be seen, and he will do this with utter flamboyancy worthy of a true diva. Most of his speeches aimed to pacify demons are about how great he is, and how it's sin that he's too pretty to live. While most are content to walk amongst others and be avoided, Eikichi WANTS the eyes turned towards him. He doesn't wear just the normal school outfit, but colors his hair a bright blue to attract attention, and presents himself with visual kei influence, including heavy black makeup and painted nails, and white foundation over his face. You can't help but stop and stare and he'll be happy to turn around so you can get the best of his profile.
He's a visionary and passionate in all he does, both good and bad. True to his zodiac, the Scorpio, he can be thick headed and driven to accomplish his goals, no matter how hard or impossible the challenge might be. There are two very strong examples of this, first his dream of starting his own band, Gas Chamber, with himself as the singer. You know, despite the fact he is a terrible singer, but hey he's made an armband which he wears proudly. But no worries, he'll figure it all out and they'll become world-famous soon enough! No one can tell him otherwise. He also completely changed his appearance, going from chubby, shy stuttering guy to the teenager he is today because he fell in love with a girl when he was young who said she hated who he was back then. That physical and mental transformation takes a special kind of dedication that's not present in many people. Especially when you love food so much as a kid.
He's imposing. Standing at 6'1" which is tall for a typical sixteen year old Japanese teenager (the tallest Persona user so far in the series), and is still growing. He's done his share of hand fighting, although Lisa, another teammate, easily beats him in that department all the times they butt heads. Many will find themselves intimidated by him - it is even a demon contract option where he tries to take control by calling them 'biatches' and if they 'think demons are the shit' they have another thing coming. The strength of the Scorpio-born is in their determination, passion and motivation and Eikichi is, for the most part, all of this. He is the head Boss; usually, his word goes when he gives it.
And yet, don't let appearances deceive you into thinking he's just that! Like the rest of his teammates, Eikichi's center is surprisingly much more delicate than he lets on, and in all those layers of egotism beats the timid heart of a young, caring child. Sure, he might be the Boss of his school, but he helps the students pursue their dreams and took care of them like his own brothers. He didn't tolerate bullying on anyone (granted he bullied the bullies, which is just as worst, but he realizes this in the game). He has three friends that are his "bros" that he is very close to and they have a code of conduct at how things should be run. In Eternal Punishment this is even further exemplified; despite a student having conducted a ritual to get him murdered, Eikichi braves a highly guarded scientific facility that might very easily kill him WITHOUT a persona to rescue this same person because 'it's the right thing to do as the Boss.'
Due to his history, there will always be a part of him still remains that shy, fat uncertain kid that Michel desperately tried to bury down to become the man that his crush, Miyabi, would like. He hides it behind the self confidence, but the walls could fall down, should he be crushed enough to have that happen. When it does, its not uncommon for Eikichi to start stuttering.
For all the caring deep down, he did also lose himself along the way into teeenagehood. A show-off and inflated head, it is hard to take him seriously at first. However, Eikichi has thankfully gotten much better at genuinely changing for the better, a merging personality parts of both his 'old' self and the newer, thinner him. Of course, old habits die hard no matter what, and he can still be a pain to others...and an idiot. He seems to run into bad luck many times, or just purposefully cause it.
Say what you will about him, but Eikichi also has excellent micromanaging skills - he is able to keep an entire school's worth of male delinquents in check with a combination of his charisma and his ability to lead crowds.
His greatest fear is his father and he hides from him his 'bad boy' tenancies - his old man doesn't even know that his son goes to school putting on makeup, dyes his hair blue and makes modification to his outfit every day. If you see Eikichi at his father's restaurant, you will find someone passive, quiet and dressed traditionally - a complete turnaround from his school image.
In Persona, each character has a main tarot arcana assigned to them. Eikichi's Arcana is Death, a symbol of rebirth and change, and that is what he did from his childhood to who he is now. He does not look what you'd expect someone to have the Death Arcana to look like. Once you are marked as a friend, he will stick by you. Eikichi has a big heart and he wants everyone to succeed. When the situation seems dire, he, along with Maya, tend to be the ones who jump-start and motivate the group. Just don't push him around too much. He will grumble at times and act diva-ish, sure, but does do what others ask of him. He tends to get the short end of the luck stick with his friends. His love for Miyabi hasn't changed one bit either. He really does love her unconditionally.
And yet nothing will be able to stop him from saying he is god's gift to the world. Perhaps his positivity, even if it is sometimes comically misplaced, is his greatest asset after all. He is the comedic, whipping boy character, and therefore his luck and his own stupidity tends to put him at harm's way, much to the chagrin of others.
There is very little difference to him in this world in the other, only now a little more sadness at knowing what has happened and being powerless to do anything about it. He is determined to protect his friends in the new world and make sure Tatsuya's sacrifice wasn't in vain.
POWER:
POWER 1 -- PERSONA USER
All users in the earlier game are what we call 'Wild Card Users'. This is a power that lets the users summon both the gods and demons that make up their alternate selves - masks worn throughout their lives that are shaped by how they see themselves and how others see them. In the Persona universe, gods and demons are creations of humans - as long as humans believe in them, they exist. With the ability of the Wild Card, a user can bring out those other selves as godly avatars and use them to fight.
HOWEVER, being from the other side and having no Persona in the new world before coming here, Eikichi is instead reduced to his single, awakened Persona.
Additional skills are available to earlier users of Persona that later users did not have. This is perhaps due to the fact that they were given this power by Philemon, the physical representation of humanity's potential 'guy with butterfly mask' form and the 'source' of Persona. Eikichi is therefore able to detect (at very close range) other Persona users. Each Persona emits an aura, which their own Personas warn them about. Think of it like having an inner voice that says 'hey I can hear a guy close by with a persona! I don't think I like them!!!' This power is activated only for other Persona users and only at very close range - think about maybe 1 block away or closer.
In general, all Persona users get increased endurance and agility. Attacks that would normally kill or badly harm a powerless civilian might just be incredibly painful for them (so basically, the difference between bleeding to death from a sharp wind attack, vs feeling like someone punched you really hard in your gut). Eikichi's inner strength is the strongest of his team - despite being super thin and looking like a toothpick he is able to withstand large amounts of physical damage and punching.
Eikichi summons his Persona with a few words (or just a grunt sometimes) and bluish energy emits from the ground into the air, reforming into the gigantic creature that is Hades, the lord of the dead. In a wedding dress that looks like a pomegranate. They knew what they were going for.
As his persona was reborn from his memories of the other side, Eikichi has access to all its spells and potential. He is weak to fire and all of its forms (setting his hair on fire is a common result), however, water attacks do not faze him. He could probably stand tall in a tsunami wave and survive. He is strong against ice attacks, and light (angelic light, someone shining something in his face), dark (void or any other type of negative that falls into dark), sleep spells, spells that cause panicking (honestly he doesn't need that he can panic himself very well) and charm spells have no effect on him.
SPELLS
Note: In terms of pain, it can vary depending on the target's endurance. A strike of Eikichi's water attack would not outright kill a person, depending on how strong they are vs, their own resistances and abilities.
PERSONA ATTACK SKILLS
Malaques - A water spell that blasts water from the ground into the air, hitting a group of enemies. To keep with the spirit of the original game, the targeted foes have to come from the same affiliation (as in, he could only target heroes together, or anti-heroes together, etc).
Malaquadyne - A torrential water spell that blasts water from the ground into the air, hitting a group of enemies. Think of it as Malaques, bigger, faster, stronger. Again, this can only affect one 'group' at a time.
Mamudo - Magical Ofuda (papers used in Shinto and Onmyodo for purification and exorcisms or as wards) appear on the ground and attempt to drag the target into the netherworld. It usually never works. Despite his hero status, this spell would actually work better on creatures of light, and only if players are okay with it working. Game wise, it would mean the equivalent of a character instantly dying.
Zandyne - An powerful almighty attack (in the Persona universe, this means it has no elemental group and hard to defend against) that sends out a blast of energy to a single target. Light emits from the ground and it feels like the person has just been hit by a bus or two.
Dark Verdict - Dark energy bubbles from the ground, forms into smoky tentacle wisps that attack everyone around Eikichi who he sees as potential enemies (unlike the other spells above, they can be in any group). In an even rarer change, it might try to drag the targets down with them once they retreat to the netherworld...however, agian much like the Mamudo spell, it rarely happens successfully and would cause someone to die in the game (which would require player approval).
Marin Karin - Little hearts appear in the air before flying towards and into a single target. Sometimes the target will fall in love with Eikichi, about 75% of the time, they will not, and just want to punch him for this stupid attack in the first place. In simple terms, it is a charm spell.
Bloody Honeymoon - This is Eikichi's signature attack, meaning he actually screams it out instead of just yelling 'Persona' like everything else. The spell targets everyone around him at a certain radius that he sees as enemies (so friends would not be harmed). Reddish underground water erupts from the ground, as golden rings circle around them, the sound of wedding bells and the vision of a bridal skeleton floating towards them before it is enveloped in light.
It is equivalent of being hit by a train, while having light shined in your eyes, seeing a skeleton in front of you and having a firework explode right next to your ears.
In some instances, those who cannot withstand this vision of awesomeness will become confused.
POWER 2 -- SINGING
Eikichi's singings is, well, not always gentle or pleasant. As his second power, it not only becomes even deadlier to the ears, but each song provides a different power up and essentially turns him into a bard that you're glad to have around, but dreading to hear.
For any of the below spells to work, the target needs to be able to hear him. Blocking your ear can be efficient to counter it, however this does leave someone vulnerable since they are body blocking them (unless you have earplugs or headphones. Good thinking). While he can technically affect more than one user at once if he wishes too, the effect gets diluted for each creature that hears it.
Luv Beam - Eikichi's signature (read: only) Gas Chamber song becomes a song of healing. As he sings the song, wounds begin to heal themselves at a slow but steady pace. Useful for keeping someone from dying in battle, but he can't speed up the process, so someone near mortal death may not be saved if it is too late. Additionally, this song can only affect a single person at the same time.
Velvet Stage - A slightly off-key rendition of the Velvet Room theme has two effects; primarily it will calm both creatures and a panicked populace. Aggression and fear will slowly deflate like a balloon until they feel relaxed, focused and more willing to listen. For Persona users or beings that have been affected or are divine, this will also act as a reinforcement and willingness to fight - the effect on their minds much like being both calmed down against incredibly odds, and then handed a potion of liquid courage.
Beat It - This song is an attempt at the king of pop's own. It functions very much like someone suddenly hearing nails on a chalkboard and someone laughing at them constantly. It will give the target a strong urge to attack him without prejudice to get him to shut up. He will use this to force others to attack him - for example to get the heat off a foe attacking another person and focus the attack on himself instead.
Featherman R Theme - The theme of Featherman becomes a rallying cry for justice. Characters who are good or trying to do good will find their spells a little more potent and powerful. However foes who are trying to do evil or harm someone will find that their spell become temporarily weakened as long as Eikichi is singing, with a growing sense of dread and fear. For heroes, the song will sound normal, even good as far as Eikichi is concerned. For foes, it will sound like the most terrible ear scratching screech of an excuse of a song, and one they'll want to get away from. This will make Beat It sound like a pleasant melody. Oh well, everyone's a critic!
POWER 3 -- FEATHERMAN YELLOW OWL
In Innocent Sin, each of the main character met up with a mask of a Featherman; basically a super sentai / power ranger warrior that were copied from the series Jetman in Japan with just enough changes to escape copyright. So note that while I link to Jetman images for visual examples, the outfit would be slightly different, the watch would be slightly different, etc.
Now Eikichi gets to become a real-life super sentai that he's always dreamed to be!
HENSHIN
The most important part of this change into a yellow and white spandex outfit is that to trigger it, Eikichi will need the Featherman Henshin Watch which likes like an children's toy. After pressing a few buttons and yelling out "Feather Change!" Eikichi's clothing is replace by his Featherman counter part. Sometimes when he transforms, there are yellow explosions behind him. These burns of smoke are not dangerous to nearby buildings and are just meant to be flashy.
While in the suit, Eikichi has an increased urge to be a super hero. His disdain for villains makes him sometimes act foolishly. He will also pose as he talks, and even if he wanted to stop it just happens. He can hover midair (not fly), do fancy acrobatic jumps partly do to this, and can summon Yellow Owl's unique weapon, the Winged Gauntlet which shoots energy bullets. If he isn't henshined, he cannot get or use this weapon.
While Eikichi doesn't gain additional spells, he can use all of his Persona's spells without summoning Hades while he's in his Yellow Owl disguise. However, the spells get fancy new names. Note that the spells have exactly the same effects as their Persona counterpart, all it is is a fancy coat of yellow paint (and I will encourage others to point this out to him);
Malaques > Yellow Owl Waterwave
Malaquadyne > Yellow Owl Waterwave Plus
Mamudo > Harbinger of Darkness
Dark Verdict > Harbinger of Darkness Two
Marin Karin > Yellow Love Beam
Zandyne > Featherman Flash
Bloody Honeymoon > Yellow Owl Ultimate Light Defeating Beam!
The last one gets extra fireworks as well to add insult to injury.
I have this video to give you an idea of what to expect. Note that in the Persona universe, this is a sequel to the Featherman that Eikichi knows.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
[What time is it? It's time for your early wake up in the terrible.]
HOOOOOOOOOOU! Goooood morning my beautiful city! Michel is here to let you know that today is another beautiful day and I want you to be everything you can be!
[He strikes a pose, grinning at the camera.]
I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in joining my band, Gas Chamber. As we are currently a few people short, your participation would be appreciated! And with the beautiful MOI as your singer, we will be heading towards stardom...and beyond! There's nothing more amazing than having screaming girls at your feet, babes!
[He sighs longingly, hugging himself.]
That being said, if you have talent in the visual arts, you are also welcome to join us! The artistical visual division of Gas Chamber is for those who wish to paint and exchange their keen eye and passion for the colors of the world! We can come together and draw and paint together under a single banner!
[That sounds just like a typical artist meetup. Why does he attempt to make it sound fancy?]
Well..what do you say babes? Don't be shy...Michel is eagerly awaiting your responses!
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
TDM with Tatsuya and his own TDM post.
FINAL NOTES:
- Thank you MoM for letting me play a version of Eikichi that normally would be unplayable everywhere else since he'd be Persona-less and letting me stick him in spandex.
- Other things to note: Eikichi's father has been raising him to take over the sushi show which he hates. He works at an underground musical house with the hopes of becoming big one day. His mother is a painter. I leave to you all these details for whatever horrible fate you want to make his part-time job.

For heroes, the song will sound normal, even good as far as Eikichi is concerned. For foes, it will sound like the most terrible ear scratching screech of an excuse of a song, and one they'll want to get away from. This will make Beat It sound like a pleasant melody. Oh well, everyone's a critic!
POWER 3 -- FEATHERMAN YELLOW OWL
In Innocent Sin, each of the main character met up with a mask of a Featherman; basically a super sentai / power ranger warrior that were copied from the series Jetman in Japan with just enough changes to escape copyright. So note that while I link to Jetman images for visual examples, the outfit would be slightly different, the watch would be slightly different, etc.
Now Eikichi gets to become a real-life super sentai that he's always dreamed to be!
HENSHIN
The most important part of this change into a yellow and white spandex outfit is that to trigger it, Eikichi will need the Featherman Henshin Watch which likes like an children's toy. After pressing a few buttons and yelling out "Feather Change!" Eikichi's clothing is replace by his Featherman counter part. Sometimes when he transforms, there are yellow explosions behind him. These burns of smoke are not dangerous to nearby buildings and are just meant to be flashy.
While in the suit, Eikichi has an increased urge to be a super hero. His disdain for villains makes him sometimes act foolishly. He will also pose as he talks, and even if he wanted to stop it just happens. He can hover midair (not fly), do fancy acrobatic jumps partly do to this, and can summon Yellow Owl's unique weapon, the Winged Gauntlet which shoots energy bullets. If he isn't henshined, he cannot get or use this weapon.
While Eikichi doesn't gain additional spells, he can use all of his Persona's spells without summoning Hades while he's in his Yellow Owl disguise. However, the spells get fancy new names. Note that the spells have exactly the same effects as their Persona counterpart, all it is is a fancy coat of yellow paint (and I will encourage others to point this out to him);
Malaques > Yellow Owl Waterwave
Malaquadyne > Yellow Owl Waterwave Plus
Mamudo > Harbinger of Darkness
Dark Verdict > Harbinger of Darkness Two
Marin Karin > Yellow Love Beam
Zandyne > Featherman Flash
Bloody Honeymoon > Yellow Owl Ultimate Light Defeating Beam!
The last one gets extra fireworks as well to add insult to injury.
I have this video to give you an idea of what to expect. Note that in the Persona universe, this is a sequel to the Featherman that Eikichi knows.

[What time is it? It's time for your early wake up in the terrible.]
HOOOOOOOOOOU! Goooood morning my beautiful city! Michel is here to let you know that today is another beautiful day and I want you to be everything you can be!
[He strikes a pose, grinning at the camera.]
I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in joining my band, Gas Chamber. As we are currently a few people short, your participation would be appreciated! And with the beautiful MOI as your singer, we will be heading towards stardom...and beyond! There's nothing more amazing than having screaming girls at your feet, babes!
[He sighs longingly, hugging himself.]
That being said, if you have talent in the visual arts, you are also welcome to join us! The artistical visual division of Gas Chamber is for those who wish to paint and exchange their keen eye and passion for the colors of the world! We can come together and draw and paint together under a single banner!
[That sounds just like a typical artist meetup. Why does he attempt to make it sound fancy?]
Well..what do you say babes? Don't be shy...Michel is eagerly awaiting your responses!
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
TDM with Tatsuya and his own TDM post.
FINAL NOTES:
- Thank you MoM for letting me play a version of Eikichi that normally would be unplayable everywhere else since he'd be Persona-less and letting me stick him in spandex.
- Other things to note: Eikichi's father has been raising him to take over the sushi show which he hates. He works at an underground musical house with the hopes of becoming big one day. His mother is a painter. I leave to you all these details for whatever horrible fate you want to make his part-time job.
