PERSONALITY: Doppo, at first glance, is your standard, unremarkable salaryman with no special skills to speak of, and who might actually be ill-suited to be a salesman considering his gloomy and cynical nature and his tendency to believe/expect the worst. He's a loner and is incredibly negative, permanently exhausted, stressed and has a whole host of serious issues that come with hating his job and the mundane emptiness of a soul-crushing wageslave life that includes shitty bosses and colleagues: i.e. intense anxiety, depression, and an overall temperament that makes Eeyore look like a paragon of optimism.
Doppo is unassertive in general, chronically unable to say no when it comes to work, which leads to him being constantly bullied and picked on, i.e. forced to crossdress during an office party and then was humiliated for it when photos made the rounds, countless instances of being made to do extra work because he can't say no to his boss. He also has an incredibly low self-esteem and a habit of blaming himself even when things are out of his control (like rain, his little brother failing exams, Hifumi when he's being extremely embarrassing, etc), but he's working on it with Jakurai's help. He's quiet, prefers to keep to himself, and as a result only has one friend all his life: Hifumi.
Doppo is also largely incapable of expressing himself, is timid, a pushover and is, by all counts, painfully average. He's quick to apologise profusely (for just about everything) and is easily terrified by angry yakuza (read: Samatoki) or by women chasing after him and Hifumi. Despite his outward politeness, it's clear that most of it is a front: he's tired of formalities and going through the motions, which can be seen in his lyrics in Tigridia where he said, "If we’re done with the formalities, could you just leave me alone?"
However, there are notable good sides to him: he's remarkably insightful when it comes to the people he loves and is able to come through for them wonderfully in the nick of time. For example, he was already prepared with a mattress to cushion Hifumi and his stalker when they fell out of a building, having anticipated such an outcome, and he's eager to do the best he can for the people he looks up to and cares about (read: Jakurai and Hifumi respectively). He's perceptive, a deep thinker even if he tends towards the cynical -- he makes insightful comments about the state of the world and where it's going in his lyrics, but also is incredibly sensitive to others. He knows how to read the room when there are things Jakurai doesn't want to talk about (for example, when they were talking about Ramuda), and is earnest with his friends, not wanting to push or prod them when it's clear they don't want to talk.
Doppo is not static; he's continuing to develop as a person and to overcome his crippling anxiety and overwhelming negativity and cynicism. After he possesses the mic, and with Jakurai and Hifumi's guidance, he slowly begins to get better at expressing himself and opening up instead of keeping everything to himself. He's also been known to use his mic to blow off steam, rapping harsh lyrics to vent about his boss and co-workers. He is also tougher than he looks -- after all, he's a key part of the group that just won the Final Battle.
In his earlier lyrics, he'd said, “Society is cold but somehow it’s warmer now," which gives others a glimpse into his happiness at being given the mic. He also begins to choose to have pride in the work that he does and to see it through to the end without giving up, which can be seen when he was forced to do overtime because a doctor was targeting him in order to hurt Jakurai. And despite all of his flaws, he's capable of taking care of Hifumi, calming him down when he panics about women due to his intense gynophobia. Jakurai and Hifumi are the two closest people to him, and a different part of Doppo emerges: of a person who would do anything to help his friends.
POWERS/ABILITIES: He has a hypnosis mic, but his abilities with the mic are currently unknown.
INVENTORY:
His hypnosis mic
A lighter
His briefcase with papers in it
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis wolf (because Matenro haha)
