Tatsuya Suou

Tatsuya Suou is the primary protagonist of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Following the tradition of Shin Megami Tensei series, he is a silent protagonist, and some aspects of his personality are determined by the player's in-game actions and decisions. He has a more established history and personality than most other silent protagonists in the franchise, due in no small part to his ability to speak in Eternal Punishment.

ALSO KNOWN AS Chinyan ("lover"/"darling") (by Lisa) Red Hawk (Masked Circle) Ta-chan (by Eikichi) Tacchi (by Jun) Tatsu Déjà Vu Boy (by Maya) SCHOOL Seven Sisters High School DATE OF BIRTH August 21 c.1981 AGE 18 ZODIAC Leo HEIGHT 181 cm WEIGHT 68 kg MELEE WEAPON Two-hand swords ARCANA Sun SECONDARY ARCANA Hanged Man (P2: IS only), World, Suit of Cups, Suit of Swords. A distinct characteristic of his present in both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment is his habit of flicking the engraved Zippo lighter Jun gifted to him as a child open and closed. While Tatsuya lost Jun's Zippo lighter in the Eternal Punishment timeline (since they never met in this reality and thus never exchange gifts), he keeps this habit by using a new, silver-colored Zippo lighter he bought somewhere. He's also an avid motorcycle enthusiast, and owns a bike of his own in both continuities. Because he is often seen performing maintenance work on his bike and works part time as a mechanic, rumors from Seven Sisters eventually give him the ability to flawlessly pilot any vehicle in Innocent Sin, which he carries over to Eternal Punishment as the Tatsuya from the "Other Side;" the Tatsuya of “This Side," however, has no such ability. In Innocent Sin, although he seemingly projects the image of the quintessential aloof “bad boy” and is exceptionally popular among his peers because of it, Tatsuya is an awkward, somewhat-shy loner who tends to alienate those around him, and is strongly uncomfortable around people who pursue him persistently, either romantically, like Lisa Silverman, or as an acquaintance, like Eikichi Mishina, as a result of the Alaya Shrine incident.
