>
>

Yashiro Kawaji ( 川地八代 ) is one of the playable characters in World of Horror.

* He starts with a Bronze Crucifix.
* Also starts with an Ominous Letter.
* He's also the only character to use the Faith mechanic.
* + Knowledge
* - Charisma

## Events

* Crisis Of Faith
* My Memories

## FAITH

This character is described by a new stat, FAITH (FTH). It starts at 10 but depending on your actions, it can drop into negative values, representing the slow crumbling faith.

There are different bonuses and penalties that vary with the FAITH level. You can check the current status by hovering the mouse over the new stat.

### Bonuses

* If FTH is 6 or above, Yashiro gets +2 MAX STA/REA and +1 DEX added to his stats. While he gains +1 STA/REA recovered along with +20 EXP per Mystery.
* If FTH is 1~5, Yashiro gets +1 MAX STA/REA to his stats and +10 EXP per Mystery.
* If FTH is 0, there's no effect.
* If FTH is -1~-5, Yashiro loses -1 MAX STA/REA to his stats, and loses 5 EXP per Mystery.
* If FTH is -6 or less, Yashiro loses -2 MAX STA/REA, +1 Damage and +1 Strength to his stats, while losing 10 EXP per Mystery.

### Gaining and Losing

Yashiro gains FTH by defeating enemies (+2) and completing Mysteries (+3, depends on difficulty), and loses FTH from taking damage in combat. (Number depends on how much damage is taken in combat, so -3 stamina would mean -3 faith, -3 all would mean -6 faith, etc)

## Bugs

* Yashiro is missing a portrait overlay for Drenched.

## Trivia

* He is most likely a reference to John Ward from FAITH, since they both share similar character traits. Both are priests, and both have failed their duties as priests (John going on his own to try to exorcize Amy without the approval of the Vatican and Yashiro never finishing his studies at the seminary). Yashiro's "faith" mechanic could be a name reference, he's also the only character in the game associated with it, and his signature item is his cross which bears much significance to him, same with John, and "The "Chupacabra sweater" outfit is a reference to FAITH by Airdorf.
	+ Additionally, the achievement "Rain of Spiders" (only completable while playing as Yashiro) may be referencing an attack used by Gary Miller, a main antagonist of the FAITH series.

* The "Sorry I Don't Celebrate That" outfit very closely resembles the shirt worn by Kana.
* The Japanese that Yashiro speaks upon being selected could be "Genki desu ka" - "How are you?"
