Background Information:
Canon History: Link Ryotaro Dojima is a forty-one year old lead detective in a quiet, not quite rural town of Inaba. The tall, broad shouldered man with brown hair, grey eyes, and constant three day stubble is still coming to terms with the death of his wife in an unsolved hit and run several years before. He struggles to be a single parent to his 6 year old daughter, Nanako, both because of her resemblance to his dead wife, his feelings of inadequacy of connecting with her, and the fact that he still has yet to solve her mother’s murder. Due to the strain, he throws himself into his job, often coming home very late, scared to face her. This strained relationship comes to a head when his 16 year old nephew comes to stay with them, and a string of horrific murders and kidnappings begin happening in Inaba. In the year his nephew comes to stay with him, Dojima begins to come to terms with his feelings of inadequacy due to his failings as a parent and his frustrations at his inability to solve these terrible crimes in his hometown. While he has a hard time believing it, he suspects there is something unnatural about the kidnappings, refusing to give up on them, despite the rest of the police force closing the case after the arrest of a suspect. When he discovers his nephew was involved somehow, Dojima ends up seriously injured chasing after a suspect who had chosen Nanako as his latest victim. Despite nearly losing his daughter in the process, Dojima entrusts his nephew to track down the true culprit: his subordinate Tohru Adachi, who had manipulating everyone for his amusement.
After both he and his daughter are released from the hospital, Dojima vows to better balance his work and home life, with his daughter’s blessing. Though told the true story of the murders being orchestrated by a vengeful demon controlling another dimension behind the screens of tvs, his pragmatic nature struggles to believe such a wild tale, though he knows there is something unnatural about the case.
Forgotten Tales: Dojima’s time in the Index allowed him a good deal of personal growth; both in powers and his actual self. Finally having something akin to ‘super powers’, unlike his normal Inaba self, he overexerted himself at first, obsessing with stopping any danger and protecting everyone, getting himself hurt by Hyde during a fight in the Little Mermaid story before basically being scolded into taking care of himself better. He was able to develop adult friends (gasp!) and ended up dad’ing a few of the younger characters despite himself/without his real notice. Eventually thanks to dealing with some… good but not so straight and narrow folks in his friend group he started to shift from Lawful Good to Neutral Good, willing to give a bit more wiggle room and have patience for more dubious people in his area. Finally dealing with Adachi head on and basically beating the shit out of him after everything he did in Inaba lead to them sort of… dealing? With their issues? He also developed something of a ...relationship? Connection?friends with benefits??? with Naomi Kimishimi which is pretty significant due to his widower status back in Inaba.
Personality: 'Hard boiled', 'Stoic', 'Rough around the edges' can all be words to describe Dojima. He's a honest, hard working man who's not afraid to get his hands dirty in his investigations, but is definitely a workaholic. He doesn't suffer fools, and is more than willing to smack his junior partner, Adachi, in the back of the head if he's being a dumbass, as well as lecture Souji and Yosuke for their own stupidity during the investigation. He's intelligent (though not quite to Naoto Shirogane's absurd levels) and has good detective intuition, but ironically his pragmatism and emotions can sometimes blind him in more abnormal investigations. Speaking of emotions...
"Kind hearted", "Well meaning", "As emotionally intelligent as a brick" can ALSO describe Dojima as well. He truly does care about the people of Inaba, his family and his co-workers, but often times fumbles on actually expressing that properly, especially with Nanako and Souji. He tries, by god he tries, and he's gotten better, but he still stumbles with how to say what he's feeling or figure out what his little girl emotionally needs. Before and during Persona 4's timeline he had been obsessed with finding his wife's killer to the point of being neglectful to Nanako, but thanks to Souji's help has really learned what being a 'family' means, and that he wants to protect Inaba as both a detective and a father.
Thanks to the dreamworld, though, he might not have a choice in expressing how he’s feeling...
Abilities & Inventory: Dojima is a perfectly normal human, so no super human strength, ninja powers or persona abilities apply. He’s a trained police officer and is able to use a revolver and Taiho-jutsu (or arresting technique martial arts) and some Judo and Kendo as required by the Japanese Police. Thanks to Forgotten Tales he’s also become quite experienced with fighting with a broadsword (thanks Rokurou!). Whenever he starts working on his Dreamotion powers, he'll probably either end up developing something similar to Persona or some of his King Arthur powers, he's not exactly the most creative type.
Inventory:
His Police Revolver, cellphone (with no charge/signal), a small carton of cigarettes and his wallet.
Suitability & Plans: I would like to play Dojima as both a continuation of his Forgotten Tales development which I’ve very much enjoyed and just to continue to see how he grows. I want him to be able to continue to open up to others about what he’s dealt with, develop his skills and let him explore both dreamotion and taking on a dream form. I also really enjoyed the CR he developed, even in just the test drive and want to see where else it will take him! He’s a pretty independent guy, not really needing cast members to progress or have fun with, which gives a lot of flexibility for such a stick in the mud guy. I’m pretty good about making my own fun or finding things to do, so it shouldn’t be difficult to throw Dojima into scenarios for the fun of it! He’s a great straight man to wacky hijinks, which is really great to play with.also if Nanako is here, c’mon, I gotta
