Personality: As a malleable protagonist, most of Yu’s canon, personality-wise, is up to the player. However, his dialogue options and unprompted actions are consistent enough that you can draw a picture of a base personality from which to draw. The most obvious thing to notice is a certain level of stoicism. While he’s by means completely unflappable, most of Yu’s reaction to things are far more restrained than other characters’, with him often being the one maintaining his composure when things get dire and action is needed. In fact, this trait of his is the key to unlocking the true ending of the game. He still reacts to things that surprise or scare him, of course, as well as to the shenanigans some of his friends get themselves and him into, mostly through what’s implied in-game to be facial expressions.
Something else consistent about Yu, is his ability and even ease to connect to people. He’s canonically referred by others as someone that looks dependable and easy to approach, with nothing to hide, and that draws people to him more than once. Throughout his life in-game, be it through a part-time job, or his home and school life, he forms bonds, however superficial at first, with people. All people he forms bonds with tend to describe him as someone kind and considerate (and those that don’t, tend to emphasize other traits of his, such as him being somehow different from their usual social circle), while still capable of asking questions and making comments that can get to the heart of their problems and issues.
This isn’t to say Yu is, or even can be perfect. He joins a raid by the boys to the girls’ room while they stay at an inn after an incident at the hot springs; he abandons a paralyzed Teddie at a ramen restaurant after Teddie orders a ridiculous amount of ramen on their tab, just to give two examples. He is perfectly able to participate in less noble actions on his own accord and the player choice dialogue of the game allow him to be downright mean. He never really has to be, though, and perhaps and that’s the main point to take from it: he has the capacity to be mean, but never feels obligated to do so. This also applies to his humor: he can make sarcastic jokes that might poke fun at his friends, but never without also being able to simply say something else.
Yu is a person that grows stronger in his powers through his bonds with people that he grows close to. Arguably, this extends to him as a person too; throughout the game he’s described as someone inherently seeking for the truth, someone with an innate capacity for hope. While whether or not he really changes as a person due to the game is up to debate, it’s easily intuited that who Yu already is as a person is reinforced, giving him a place he can always home and friends that will never forget him and, likewise, that he won’t forget.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Eevee. Thematically, Eevee is a great fit for Yu for two reasons:
1. Yu is canonically known as a ‘wild card’, someone whose powers don’t have the same restrictions as the others, and is thus filled with possibilities, much like the number 0. This is a good parallel to Eevee’s evolutionary possibilities and how it branches off depending on player/trainer choice.
2. Another important part of Yu’s role is his relationship with others, and how by helping them, they too help him. This is another good parallel with Eevee due to how it has 3 evolutions that depend on its relationship with the trainer.
Victory Road Sample:So I was thinking… Some of us know about this place already from videogames, right? In fact, games where you make enemy monsters your allies are kinda common. So… What are videogames here like, anyway? Do they have games with like… Fake Pokemon to catch and battle? Being able to do that for real probably takes some appeal away, but then again, there’s games about stuff we can do in real life back home, so that might not be a deterrent here either. Has anyone looked that up? I’ll do it myself of course, but I was curious if anyone had done it already.

What are videogames here like, anyway? Do they have games with like… Fake Pokemon to catch and battle? Being able to do that for real probably takes some appeal away, but then again, there’s games about stuff we can do in real life back home, so that might not be a deterrent here either.

… and now I really miss the games from back home.
Hey, is there way to get games in this thing?
