Current Characters: N/A
Character Name: Ken Amada
Character Canon: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Canon Point: Post Canon
Age: 13
Crime: Attempted murder....because it's true.
Background: Persona 3 and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Personality:
One of the first things that stands out about Ken is how mature he is. Throughout Persona 3, people have commented how he doesn’t act like his age. Between going to the shrine often, training, and being polite, he never allows himself a day off. This was proven as Junpei mentioned if he was secretly an old man. With this, he comes across as someone who acts really cool for his age. Additionally, he frequently uses Japanese honorifics to everyone around him as a way to prove how mature and polite he is.
However the most prominent example of his maturity is during the events of the Answer. When everyone was fighting over if they should bring their leader back to life, Ken said that they shouldn’t. He stated that it was their leader’s choice to give up their life in order to save them. He wouldn’t dare go against their wish as it would be disrespectful to them. This shows how mature he is for someone his age.
However, with this sense of maturity, he doesn’t have the most favorable outlook on life. Once again, he is someone who lost his mother at a young age and nobody believed the real reason for her death. Due to this, he has this sense that adults (and people in general) only want to believe what they want to believe regardless if it’s a lie. He doesn’t trust people in general as he is never sure of what their true intentions are. This was proven as he was left by himself after his mother’s death. While he had financial support from family members, he didn’t have anyone to give him comfort. Furthermore, he also told Shinjiro (his mother’s killer) how people only give him pity. It had gotten to a point where he would kill himself after killing Shinjiro. The reason was how he didn’t have a reason to live once his revenge was done. This further shows how much he doesn’t have a positive outlook on life as he believes people only want to get the most out of others.
Ken is someone who is extremely resilient. Despite witnessing his mother’s death, fighting at a young age, and dealing with psychological trauma of facing death, he manages to come out a strong and determined young boy. After battling his friends and seeing the reason for their leader’s death, he does come to realize that he needs to form bonds with others to help humanity as a whole. He is slowly trying to be empathetic and kind to others.
Despite how empathetic and cool headed he can be, Ken is very emotional. He might not show it but his emotions do get the better of him as he allows it to nearly get himself killed. It was his emotions of anger, sadness, and regret that made him not think clearly to the point where he’ll go so far to kill someone. He even stated himself that his own emotions of how he didn’t want to be alone drove him to go so far.
Since Ken can be emotional, he comes across as childish. He tries hard to make himself look like an adult, it serves himself as a reminder that he’s still a kid. Throughout his canon, he tries various ways to make himself look mature such as drinking milk to grow taller (despite how it hurts his stomach), drinking black coffee (even though he hates it) and hiding his love for a children’s show (when he knows so much about it). When these issues come up, Ken responds by denying it or attempting to change the subject. While most of this can be chalked up to his age, it still shows how he’s someone who is too serious for his own good.
In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, his outlook in life is a bit more optimistic. He has relaxed and is a lot friendlier than usual. While he is still too mature for someone his age, he decided to keep living his life as a kid. Trying to reclaim his lost childhood, he knows that he needs to live life to the fullest by his standards rather than someone else’s.
Abilities:
In Persona 3, there are people who have the 'Potential'. It means they possess the potential to summon a Persona, beings that are like guardian figures to fight against beings called shadows, the negative emotions of humans that take form. However, he can’t summon it without his Evoker, a fake gun.
Ken’s Persona is Kala-Nemi.
Kala-Nemi has many magical abilities. Most of what he can do is mostly based on light, thunder, physical and healing based abilities. These abilities include Ziodyne (heavy thunder attack), Mediarahan (Healing the entire cast), Hamaon (One Hit KO with Light), and Vile Assault (Allows him to heavy pierced attack on his enemies.) With this, Kala-Nemi is weak against dark magic.
The nerfs Kala-Nemi would have are dealing with lesser damage. Spells such as Megidolan and Hamaon wouldn’t have the same effect it once did. Instead, it’ll have a lesser effect.
Inventory:
-Evoker
-Spear
-His uniform
-His soccer ball
