[Character Sheet]

Character Name: Fukui Ichiro
Source: Fandom OC; Megami Tensei
Age: Old enough 37.

Personality:
- Outwardly very friendly and personable! Always cheerful and goes out of his way to help everyone, even people that he might not be very fond of.
- Though, his reasoning for this is less “I am a good person” and more “If I help these people out, I'll be able to call in favors later." There is very little that he does without a reason, even if that reason is just “I felt like it.” Is nice, but by no means really a good person, and if you can get him in a private place he'll tell you as much himself. He doesn't give a damn what happens to anyone as long as it's not someone that he cares about/someone that's useful to him.
- In fact, depending on the person, he actively antagonizes people he dislikes, in private.
- Does Not Handle Change Well. Any changes, including deaths and shifts in personalities, especially his own. It's particularly bad when his opinion of someone changes for the better, because he doesn't feel like he's able to go back on such strong feelings, and will continue to treat them badly to cover up how fond he is of them, while doing nice things in secret. Is not good at talking about his feelings.
- Is, at least in regards to individuals weaker than him (and when he sees that he'll be able to), a bit emotionally abusive and manipulative! A bit of a dick, in short, but that's something he's started to use for good (for some... measure of speaking...) if in a roundabout and slightly creepy way.
- Which brings us to this bullet. He is very possessive! Still very much so in love with his ex-wife, to the point where he more or less refuses to start other relationships because he's still holding out for her deciding that she loves him again. But things happen, and it feels a lot like cheating, to him. Not that he's the one who owns her – it's the other way around. (Dude is whipped.) But when he finds someone that he likes, he's very rarely willing to let them go, and he gets jealous easily.
- Is very, very concerned with his physical appearance, and goes to great lengths to look as young as he does! Dresses very, very well, nails are always well-kept, hair is always well-done, always smells nice. Is sexy and he knows it. No, no, I'm sorry. Does not handle negative comments about his appearance well. At all.
- Is as enthusiastic about myths and the like as Michi is.

History: Had a relatively normal childhood! Was the second born to a loving family, and his early school years proceeded without incident. As a teenager, he made the choice to finish his education abroad, and left for America to live with relatives. It was in this place that he met his future wife!

When he was sixteen, he and a friend saw an older woman reading in the park, and after some discussion, he made a total fool of himself attempting to approach her, as sixteen year old boys do. She did very little but glare at him and walk away, but it was love at first sight. Being a very intelligent boy even then, he pulled some strings for them to “accidentally” meet, again and again, so he could chat her up and get to know her better. And eventually, they went out on a date, because he is just that good! Except not.

Elizabeth, as she had chosen to call herself (in fact just Beleth, 13th demon of the Ars Goetia – summoners sure are weird), was perfectly aware of everything that he had done to get her attention, having been in the area on one occasion and being able to put two and two together. This, not their conversations, was what caught her interest. A person that went to those lengths just to be with her could very well prove to be entertaining. And he was, so their relationship continued. They had sex, she got pregnant, and, either having some sense of right and wrong or simply because he cared for her, he married her right then, and they moved back to his country together (along with her summoner, who was always nearby, but he and Ichiro never really met.).

For some reason or another that he couldn't understand, their resulting daughter's hair was a dark shade of purple, when he was a redhead and his wife a blonde. The possible cause of this was something that lingered in the very back of his mind, but he loved and accepted the girl as his regardless. She was very cute and charming and precocious and everything he wanted in a child, so it didn't matter if she wasn't really his. They spent very nearly all of their free time together, and he rubbed off on her quite a bit. When she had turned ten, he got a job that required him to travel, and he left, with a promise that he would be back soon. And while he was gone, Elizabeth broke their baby, and he returned to a child that he didn't recognize.

She didn't smile or laugh or do much of anything in the way of emoting, or even acknowledge him – and he couldn't really accept that. It was disgusting to look at. It was depressing. That thing couldn't possibly be his – he was right the first time. Not really being able to stand being in the house anymore, he began to stay out later and later, and would barely speak to his wife or daughter when he was home... which Elizabeth found very boring. By the time their child had turned thirteen, they separated.

After a few years of traveling, he settled down in an apartment in a big city. By chance, stumbled upon some strange pocket dimension that was part of it, and there, met a young boy who claimed to be a demon, and needed a contract to leave that place. Ichiro, not really seeing the issue with helping such a cute kid out, obliged him – the company was actually kind of nice.

He also met his “child” in the city proper. She'd grown into a pretty young girl who looked so much like her mother and so little like him, and with a natural inclination towards making him happy – nearly bordering on crushlike. It creeped him out quite a bit, but after some time, he began to see what she was capable of, and so took advantage of her feelings from time to time, to see how far they would go. It didn't really matter, because it wasn't as if she was his kid, right? Being an extroverted person, he made many friends and developed a slight crush himself (and then the person in question died and it was very sad and ugly for a lot of reasons).

And then a stray comment from the boy he'd contracted himself with, a “she looks just like you” in regards to his daughter changed everything. Because he was right, and Ichiro just had his head too far up his own ass to see it.

And then began the saga of him trying to be a good dad while not letting on how much he was starting to care for his daughter and her boyfriend. The end.
