Character Name: Raidou Kuzunoha XIV; though this is a title, and his given first name is Johei.
Canon: Devil Summoner
Canon Information: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Raidou_Kuzunoha_the_XIV
Canon Point: Instead of the video games, I'll be taking him from the manga, Raidou Kuzunoha Versus the Lone Marebito, where his personality is much more fleshed out. He will be coming into the game after chapter 18.
Age: 17
Personality: Raidou Kuzunoha XIV didn’t become Raidou Kuzunoha XIV until he completed a lifetime of training and preparation to take up this title. An orphan growing up in the Shinoda woods with the Kuzunoha clan, near the Capital of Japan, Raidou had a sheltered and strict life. It takes a lot of discipline, intelligence and training to take up a Kuzunoha clan title, and not just anyone can pass the tests. Expert skill in weapons training and command over demons in someone so young can only be achieved with constant hard work. Raidou took to it well, and grew up into a responsible, disciplined and powerful young man. He gets further guidance out in the world from Gouto-Douji, the spirit of Raidou Kuzunoha I, who is in the form of a black cat.
While most of his life had been preoccupied with this task, he was still allowed to attend school in the Capital, where he currently had been attending Yumizuki High School. All future demon summoners attend this school, unbeknownst to the rest of the students there. Raidou is popular in school for his cool demeanor and unprecedented athletics, but they worry about his frequent, long absences that he refuses to explain. It's a job he has to keep hidden from his schoolmates, and it keeps him from getting too close to anyone, even if many people in the Capital are aware of his position as a detective. Demons are often mistrustful or violent towards humans, and being someone who interacts with them often would cast a lot of suspicion his way if others knew. Others who didn't believe in demons would just think he was out of his mind.
His unique upbringing has left scars on him, though. While confident in his abilities, he is a very quiet person, and talks in short sentences when he talks at all. He loosens up when getting to know someone, but that takes some time to get passed that icy exterior. While brave in the face of danger, he’s socially stunted, though he means well. When Nagi, fellow summoner and clan member on the path to titlehood, asks him to give her praise for a job well done, Raidou pats her on the head and praises her like she was a small child, and not a young woman around his own age. Nagi is mortified by this treatment from someone she admires and looks up to, and Raidou is left confused. He can talk to, negotiate with, and understand the motivations and feelings a demon more than he can with other humans. He'd much rather prove himself with his strength than his words.
Raidou is fully dedicated to his job of protecting the Capital and its inhabitants safe from demons and supernatural dangers. Maybe a little too dedicated. He works on a lot of dangerous missions under the guise of cases for the Narumi Detective Agency. The cases the agency gets tend to be the strange and unusual types, and Shohei Narumi, the head detective, often passes off work to the diligent Raidou so he can go off and do something else. Raidou does it without complaint, though Gouto will often make a snide remark about it. It’s not a surprise that someone born and raised to do a certain job would be practically married to it, however. Being a demon summoner is hazardous work, and Raidou often gets severely hurt in his battles and investigations. He does so with little regard to his own safety, as the safety of the Capital is more important than his own. This leads his friends to worry a lot about him. Narumi might gripe about the medical bills Raidou racks up, but he honestly worries for the kid.
Raidou is unflappable and stoic, in a way that only a demon summoner can be. Interacting with demons on a daily basis alone is enough to jade someone to any other weirdness or dangers in the world. But Raidou has also run into some of the most dangerous and disgusting demons one could conceive of, demons that often possess humans to monstrous, twisted results. In the face of this, Raidou remains cool, collected, and focused on saving the day. Protecting others is all he knows and all he wants to do. Raidou’s personality can also come off as cold, unfeeling and even intimidating as he hides his feelings, is overly dedicated to his work, and has a hard time separating his life from it. Considering how he was raised, to him, there is no line to separate them. He gave up his own identity to take up the mantel of Raidou Kuzunoha XIV. His work is his life, and his life is for the Capital.
