Heinrich

Heinrich is a player character from Shadow Palaces, played by FennekinGalaxy. He is a human rogue best known for his straightman demeanor and depressive nature. It is unknown what Persona Heinrich may have access to.
== Personality ==
Heinrich is a depressed older man with a soft heart, serving as the party's straightman. He had a love of science at one point, and hopes one day to rekindle it. Heinrich seems somewhat cowardly, as he tries to run quite often during combat.
== History ==
=== Downfall ===
Heinrich, at one point in the past, was a scientist for an unknown organization, but left because his experiments constantly failed, caused harm, or were taken from him. Feeling his skills to be worthless and viewing himself as a scourge to humanity, he settled for working at GonzoMart as a clerk instead of following his passion.
=== Shadow Palaces ===
Heinrich was first seen at work, giving Boris some spare change he had in his pocket. After this, Cable Guy asked if Heinrich used Prilosec, to which Heinrich declined, stating he was more of an Alka-Seltzer guy. Heinrich was then asked if he chewed tobacco, to which Heinrich replied that he preferred smoking. The duo then had a prolonged argument about the health benefits and health detriments of both methods, with Boris vocally siding with Cable Guy and Marcus siding with Heinrich in silence by smoking a cigarette. Heinrich was among those who investigated the rumors about the "Midnight Channel".
Later, in Cable Guy's apartment, Heinrich complained about the sulfury smell, being utterly disgusted by the fact that Cable Guy let one of his poops ruminate in the toilet for several days, entering a coughing fit shortly thereafter. When Marcus shoved his hand into the TV and pulled it out covered in slime, Heinrich, who was not a medical doctor, claimed it to be a fatal disease. After Marcus fell into the TV and came back covered in slime, Heinrich grabbed his latex gloves. After Cable Guy jumped into the TV and got trapped due to the failed rope, Heinrich willingly tied Marcus to the rope and let him go through. Boris wanted to go in after the two of them, and Heinrich, not wanting to be left alone, reluctantly took Boris' hand and went in with him.
Heinrich witnessed the introduction to Bartholomew, and was given a machine pistol and a knife by him. In the first room of Shadows, Heinrich pointed out the exit and made a break for it, eventually being followed by his team and being forced to be the head of the conga lines that would soon follow. When they were about to leave the Metaverse and return to the real world, Marcus threatened to break the correct TV, forbidding Heinrich from leaving, but this did not amount to anything.
Heinrich witnessed the introduction of Felix, but did not do much of note with the policeman.
The next night, Heinrich, Cable Guy and Marcus plotted to make a crazy hamburger. After seeing Cable Guy's rotten burger, Heinrich made another one, trying to make one that was better, but failed miserably, making one that looked radioactive. After Marcus force-fed Boris that burger, Heinrich stood with Boris to try and protect him from further food poisoning, giving him some Pepto-Bismol. He was unsuccessful, having to watch Boris be force-fed the third burger. Heinrich and Cable Guy both questioned why Felix did not intervene.
On the way into the Midnight Channel once again, Heinrich took Felix's hand, forcing him to come with them. Heinrich and Marcus banded together to try and restrain a drunken Cable Guy from having sex with Bartholomew, but despite Marcus' best efforts, Heinrich lost his grip and Cable Guy was let loose. Heinrich was the only party member not blasted by the ensuing squizz explosion.
Heinrich did not do much of note in either of Bartholomew's training trials after this.
Heinrich witnessed the sudden appearance of Maxwell, but did not question the absurdity for unknown reasons. After Marcus asked how hot the woman at the top of the tower was, Heinrich scolded Marcus for objectifying women. After this, Marcus brought up Heinrich's dead wife, which he logistically could not have known about, claiming that Heinrich talks in his sleep.
In the room with the strong Shadow, Heinrich inspected the walls and found them to be breakable with sufficient force. After Boris and Marcus made a breakthrough, Heinrich fled with them. Heinrich aided in the fight against the Ridden, failing multiple times to pop the IV bags.
For some reason, Marcus felt compelled to report to Heinrich's manager that he had been skipping work, despite the fact that they met at night, and upon making the report successfully got Heinrich fired. This infuriated Heinrich, and after this he reported to the same manager to call the police on Marcus for shoplifting. Marcus then questioned if he had killed Heinrich's son in another universe, again reminding him of his dead wife.
Heinrich convinced Maxwell to re-enter the Metaverse through the potential power of the Personas they may acquire. After Boris and Maxwell tipped the TV over, Heinrich tripped over it and fell into it. Shortly thereafter, Heinrich was given a yellow armband by Bartholomew. During the one floor they ventured through in that outing, Heinrich gunned down several of the Shadows.
== Relationships ==
=== Marcus ===
Heinrich believes that Marcus hates him, due to the sheer amount of things Marcus does to spite him, like refusing to call him by his name, instead calling him "Heimlich" or "Hindlick", threatening to trap him in the Metaverse, and getting him fired for truancy despite having a good track record at work.
