### Personality

Tanaka Shuuyou is, at his core, a dedicated and loving man. He devotes himself to those he cares for, going so far as to sacrifice his own life for them; as a result of this devotion, he is careful with whom he grants his deep trust to. He frequently tries to shield his loved ones from danger by taking their struggles onto himself and often becomes extremely self-deprecating when he is unable to push through said struggles alone.

This self-deprecation is a recurring pattern of behavior. For all that he loves others, he is extremely harsh on himself, being insecure and having very low self-esteem and self-worth. He used to perceive himself as perpetually alone and struggled with recognizing when people genuinely cared for and looked up to him, although he has become better at this since joining Kamirai's Group. Where he used to repress his emotions (as observed by Kamirai Ukiyo in early operation), he has also become more emotionally expressive (for instance, crying and yelling without restraint, particularly so during the death of his parents). He is usually quite casual when he speaks to others, but when he's shocked or nervous, he has a tendency to speak formally.

He is somewhat self-conscious about his image and how he's perceived, though less so when he's going by a pseudonym. In early operations, he pretended to be ruthless and cold-blooded. As time passes, he tends towards an image of someone who is polite and put-together, and who always has a plan. In fact, he does tend to plan ahead for most situations based on his knowledge of Ways of Survival. However, he often develops tunnel vision, failing to consider outside factors playing into and altering his situation. He is notably bad at improvisation (a fact that becomes more apparent as his timeline diverges more and more from the original Ways of Survival) and takes some time to get back on his feet when faced with setbacks, having minor emotional breakdowns at particularly shocking situations.

Nonetheless, he is immensely dedicated to his goals, seen when he surpasses even death in order to reach the end of the scenarios. This translates into occasional bouts of stubbornness and singlemindedness.

### Background

Shuuyou is the heir of a large conglomerate, the Mitsugoshi Company. He was born and raised within Academy City's borders, namely in School District 6 where he lived for most of his life, until he moved to School District 7. Mostly raised by his caretakers, Lilia and Bong, rarely having contact with his parents; his mother would come visit once in a while, but never his father due to his busy schedule. Without his parents present, Lilia and Bong became his mother and father figures.

## Abilities and Powers

On many occasions, Shuuyou's mathematical abilities goes beyond what a human should be capable of, possessing numerical precision greater than some supercomputers. An ability he calls **Numerical Precision**.

He could solve, measure, and calculate problems through numbers without using mathematical operations, but through pure intuition. He has an intuitive understanding of all forms of mathematics and can instinctively identify the variables in any situation. He can isolate, and calculate any variables to solve any problems, his ability possess flawless accuracy, and is able to calculate the optimal choice in any situation instantly. He is so good with numbers that he is capable of solving a 2056-bit encryption code in his head. He can tell how many bullets there is inside a gun and how many have been shot, the measurements of areas or coordinates without having any data on them, the material percentage of any chemical compound or physical structure, tell the right time including hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds with the slightest thought, tell which are winning numbers in a lottery, determine the speed and velocity of any object, and calculate and predict any outcome related to cause and effect.

### Computer Operation

Prior to him joining Kamirai's Group, Tanaka Shuuyou developed many technological skills, including vast knowledge of computers and electronics, expert skills as a hacker, and graduate training in library sciences. His esper power granted him mental capabilities of a genius with a wide knowledge base and access to vast information resources and naturally possessing a photographic memory. Oracle places his considerable skills and knowledge at the disposal of the entire Kamirai Group. He is a skilled hacker, capable of retrieving and dispersing information from private satellites, military installations, government files, and the properties of Academy City's Board of Directors. He is the technical expert of the Kamirai Group with many of it's members routinely consults Shuuyou for assistance.

After having Uiharu Kazari, unarguably the most talented at operating computers in Academy City, teach him some of her methods of hacking and protection, he has been able to hack a state-of-the-art security system, designed by Academy City's highest level engineers and AIs, without needing to analyze it beforehand. He can do this after Uiharu told him to discover the habits and preferences of the human engineers, as it is humans who teach the AI. He could also create security systems that is one of the 10 strongest systems of Academy City, and has been tested by Uiharu herself to withstand even her own methods of hacking.

### Resources

Being the heir of the Mitsugoshi Company, and being in charge of his own share of the company, Shuuyou has access to large sums of money, with his shares being valued at ¥4,3 billion ($32,7 million), which he uses to fund the Kamirai Group for weapons, facilities, and agencies that would do menial tasks for them. It isn't wrong to call Shuuyou as the group's sponsor. Even without his esper powers, and with his finances alone, he is an indispensable member of Kamirai's Group. He has access to the best lawyers in Japan, so much so that he mentions how he could be given a death sentence and come out a free man, or even gain access to private experiments and buy some of their prototype products of off the scientists.

### Esper Power

Shuuyou's **Cross Freulein** (社会磁気(クロス・フロイライン), *Shakai Jiki (Kurosu Furoirain)*, lit. "Social Magnetism"?) ability can socially attract or repel others, making them feel an emotional and/or psychological pull towards him, even if they can't justify it, and feel immediately bonded. The effect can also be used in reverse so that those who fall in the range of his power feel repelled and distance themselves from the source. The way the ability works is by generating an electromagnetic pulse that either makes people notice Shuuyou, or ignore him. Due to his status as an heir to a conglomerate, he usually has this ability defaulted to "repulsion", pushing all attention away from him turning him unnoticeable.

## Equipment

During World War III, Shuuyou stole a unit of **Equ.DarkMatter**, Powered Suits created by Academy City that utilize Kakine Teitoku's ability, Dark Matter, for their creation. Shuuyou stole them from Hound Dogs during World War III, and purchased them illegally through the black market after the war ends.

The Equ.DarkMatter suits are pitch black with some tones of gray and are slim-fitting; to the point that it gives enough of a person's figure that you can determine someone's gender by closely observing. There are some variations in suit constructs, probably to show difference in rank. The suits are equipped with masks of a platinum color that is twice the height of a human face. The masks do not have eye or mouth holes and shine with artificial light and the words "Equ.DarkMatter" are inscribed upon them. They are designed for mobility and therefore lack heavy-duty armor and can be shot through with proper weapons, as shown when Shuuyou fought and killed three of them.

Instead, Equ.DarkMatter's strength lies in their masks, which have been forged out of the Dark Matter Kakine Teitoku is producing while hooked up to Dark Legacy. The masks allow attacks with multiple pairs of white wings that spread from them, akin to Kakine's own seraph wings. The wings are very durable and very sharp, to the point where Shuuyou thought that they were capable of cutting through everything, using the wings as either shields or blades can easily make up for the suits lack of body armor or additional offensive equipment.

## Trivia
