==Personality==
Through the tradition of the Megami Tensei series, his character is based upon players' actions and decisions, a tradition which later Shin Megami Tensei protagonists would follow. He is able to speak to demons instead of fighting them, and can try to form an alliance with them; as these negotiations involve the player trying to increase the demon's mood, and start with the player picking an attitude – friendly or intimidating – after which they get to choose how to respond to what the demon says or does, and whether to give the demon items or money it asks for.
