Einar Tsuchiya

Einar Tsuchiya is the protagonist of Persona 6: Runes and Men.
In the game, the player can choose whether to make him a man (Einar) or a woman (Sigrun). In either case, the other gender is used for his sibling.
Unlike many Persona protagonists, Einar is an established character, and his civilian name can be chosen only because it's an alias. In the Kamui Mosir, he goes by his real name Einar (or Sigrun if female). He's of Ainu ethnicity, hence his non-Japanese first name. 
The anime uses the male gender for the protagonist, and the female gender for the sibling, while in the manga it's the opposite. 
== Personality ==
Though he cannot speak for most of the game, he's not a self-insert and has personality. 
He periodically reminisces of Kenas Unarpe's attack, and his inner monologue and diary mention frequent feelings of discomfort, weakness and self-loathing. Some lines of his diary and monologue imply that he suffers from depression and wants to commit suicide "Why can't I have a peaceful rest?". As the game goes on, Einar's forged bonds make him much stronger and more decisive in his willingness to face the being known as Kandakoro (Einar's own Shadow Self) and get over the trauma.

== Plot ==
The game starts with their father Shigetomo Tsuchiya being shot dead in his flat in Sapporo. They soon run to see what happened and meet a masked man who claims to be Kenas Unarpe. Said man tells them that in their veins, there's a "power that can defy gods" (a Persona), the shoots them in the belly and takes them, cutting their tongue and writing tribal glyphs on their skin with a dagger. After a while, the pain causes them to awaken a Persona and attack in retaliation. Kenas Unarpe seems to be happy that they have awakened, and throws them from a window. 
They survive, and after a month, doctors managed to cure most of their wounds, though they are still paraplegic and mute. Their sibling tells them that they have been sent to Asaheim, a small town near Sapporo, as the government thinks of them as nominally dead and as such they can't return to Sapporo. Their sibling tells them that they need a fake name to disguise themselves from the public (which is the occasion the player has to rename the protagonist), and that they have been sent to Asgard High School in Asaheim.

== Trivia ==
Once he first meets the protagonist, the shopkeeper Rommel of the Wolfsangel J-Pop Shop gives them a nickname based on gender. If the protagonist is a man (named Einar), he'll mention that their name is the same as "Selvik, the living legend of J-Pop" and nicknames them "Selvik-kun", as "Selvik". If the protagonist is female, her name is Sigrun, and as such their sibling is named Einar, so he'll nickname the protagonist "Notsel-chan", as in "Not Selvik".
