CHARACTER
» Name: Sho Minamimoto
» Fandom: The World Ends With You
» Reference: The world ends with you wiki
» Canon Point: Before unleashing Megaflare level i at the end of Week Two.
» Gender: Male.
» Age: 18 at death. Probably hasn’t been dead very long.
» Orientation: Unknown.
The closest thing to sexuality he exhibits is an intense attraction to 777’s microphone.
Otherwise, he has a single-minded preoccupation with taking over the reaper game, and that single-mindedness causes him to completely ignore anything like gender, sensuality, or attraction. With respect to people, at least. His attraction to junk is everlasting, although it’s unclear if he gets sexual gratification from his objectophilia.
» Personality:
Sho is a bit of a savant, in both the fact he’s a mathematical genius and also the fact he’s a socially very challenged. He’s energetic, possessed by his own impulses and creativity, and he has an immense sense of ego. Rules mean nothing to him, and he completely indulges his own, megalomaniacal wants.
For Sho, the world is garbage and he strives to reshape it in his own idea of beauty. He is an incredibly imaginative person, granted by the fact in the Reaper Games, your imagination becomes your fighting power. He loves to make math jokes and insult others. He really, really likes math. It’s just how his mind works. He’s also a sculptor, although his particular style is moved by the Dada movement and to most people his works look like heaps of trash. For Sho, they represent his idealized world.
He’s a surprisingly impartial person, given the fact he treats all people the same, although it’s without respect or compassion. He doesn’t care if you’re a player or the composer, you’re all trash that will be added to the heap. Depending on what end of the spectrum you are, he’s either a tyrant or a pugnacious moron. He doesn’t care what about anyone thinks any more than their rank. The downside to that kind of thinking is he carelessly pays little heed to how people interact with him, and he’s completely unaware of the fact he’s being used or manipulated. By focusing on his own individual goals, he fails to see the bigger picture and he’s completely ignorant of anyone’s strategy besides his own.
The biggest example of that is during week two, Megumi pulls him in as the GM. Sho feels this is in accordance of his own plan and part of his rise to power and revels in the new length of leash he has to work with. What Sho fails to see is that he’s an obstacle being thrown in Neku’s (And Joshua’s) path and is little more than hopefully effective canon-fodder in Megumi’s eyes. Sho is shockingly naive, and if you feed him a few sweet words and make him feel powerful, he can be manipulated into doing exactly what someone wants him to do.
Of course, as Megumi found out, the problem with trying to manipulate Sho is he might go according to plan... He might drift off and do his own thing entirely. Like a complex mathematical series, Sho follows a formula of his own creation although the output of his actions look incredibly random to the casual observer.
Part of what makes his behavior appear so complicated is that he has no sense of moderation whatsoever. If he’s trying to squash an ant he’ll use a steam roller. If he’s trying to squash a steamroller, he’ll use the same steamroller. In the game, he worked his way though the ranks of the Reapers at an alarming rate using this momentum, all to get more power to widen his artistic canvas. Once he got that power, he abandoned the structure of the game to serve his own agenda, citing “Tradition is garbage.”.
He half-ass conducted the second week, leaving many reapers without jobs, days with wacked out missions, and rogue “taboo noise” rampaging about while he not only worked on his masterpiece pin, Megaflare level i. He still found time to work on his beloved heaps.
As haphazard as he acts, Sho is a survivalist like many people driven by their own arrogance. He’ll run from a fight if the tides start to turn. He won’t needlessly pick fights when he has a bigger fish to fry (much to the player’s relief in week three).
It’s also important to note that Sho shares many similarities with the Sho that lives in Another Day, but they are two completely different people. Whereas AD-Sho is sociable, UG-Sho has... a difficult time with people. He ruffles feathers for his own amusement, spends more time taking at them than to them, and speaks to inanimate objects as easily as he does actual people. In fact, when he talks to people he can be downright cruel and very antagonizing. He likes to assert his superiority by picking on others with jeers and taunts, even people like Megumi who outrank him. He does not have an indoor voice, and he uses a megaphone to supplement his point.
In all, Sho acts very much like an incredibly self-absorbed and spoiled child with more than enough intelligence and creativity to become a threat.
» Appearance: Since Sho will undoubtedly be relegated to the mortal frequency in Atia, he appears as a lanky young man of Japanese descent. His skin is a little darker than most, and his long, scruffy hair is an obnoxious shade of taupe. He has pale yellow eyes and he resembles his totem animal a little more than the other GMs with a toothy grin and whisker marks on his face.
He dresses in kind of a grunge style, cowboy boots, distressed cargo pants, a double breasted short-sleeved trench, a red bandana and a black trucker hat. He adorns himself with some beads and jewelry, and bears a black, glove shaped mark up one arm.
He’s also spectacularly demonstrative. His gestures are sweeping, his body language is exaggerative and if you still can’t get it though your factoring skull, he will scream at you though a megaphone.
He’ll be using his necklace as his collar. It’s a shell shaped pendant on a ball-and-clasp chain. He might not notice it until it begins to reduce diameter.
» Suitability: Sho just so happens to be 18.

[Video feed starts of a naked, dark-skinned man. Luckily, the frame only goes from the waist up. It looks like he’s tearing though his room, discarding items into a large pile in front of the window.]
What the factor is going on?! This wasn’t in my calculations!
I was one iteration away from my desired solution!!
[And a chair goes flying onto the heap.]
The sick trash that did this to me, CRUNCH! Into the heap! I won’t let anyone get in between me and my formula for a BEAUTIFUL world! DIEx2!!!
[Another crash... Oh that poor nightstand.]
WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I’LL FACTOR YOU INTO OBLIVION!!

The second Sho woke up he shot up out of bed because everything was suddenly completely wrong. He had the composer right where he wanted him. His victory was imminent and now where the hell was he? The man became frantic as he whipped off the sheets and desperately tried to place his location.
It was no place he’d ever seen before. Greek? The golden mean was evident in the architecture, but that did little to sooth the raging man. It was all trash, no matter how lavish it might look to another’s eye.
“What is this nonsense?! It doesn’t compute!” He snarled to no one in particular as he grabbed his clothes off a chair. “And why am I naked?!” The irregular values were starting to pile up, and Sho was the one feeling crushed under the pressure of so many random integers. He ruffled though his pockets quickly, searching for the only thing that mattered at that moment.
Ah, thank goodness, his masterpiece was intact. He ran his palm over Megaflare level i before he noticed a horrible truth.
His beautiful pin and every one of the others he had were all nothing but enamel and tin.
He was gripped by a volley of emotions, anger, fear, horror and confusion. He threw the chair across the room with a roar. He had to factor this out, find the common denominator. His frequency was zetta low here, that’s why his psyches weren’t activating. Was it possible the Composer knocked him into a parallel world? No, that solution failed to add up. The Composer was reduced to a mere player, a yoctogram and that sort of digit could never muster the sum of force it would take to do this. Was he double crossed by the Fallen Angel? Or could the Conductor possibly have a hand in this? Each possibility resolved to be null and the solution failed. Was the Composer hiding some trick, all this time only appear powerless? Was the information the Fallen Angel had given Sho an unbalanced equation?
And why was he naked? That question was becoming increasingly more nagging as his butt was starting to get cold. Without his threads on, his power was reduced. That was logical. But at this frequency, no buffing power emanated from the garments, just like his pins they were only the material they were made of and nothing more. Something else was wrong here, it was a new sensation and Sho had a hard time assigning a value to this unknown variable. Running a hand over his body, he discovered he was wet. He actually shuddered. That sick bastard didn’t only remove him from the UG, but he had to fuck with him too?!
Nothing could have wounded Sho’s pride more. He was absolutely murderous. If the force of his will could ever be strong enough, he would tune his own frequency right back to where he came from, and then he would have swift revenge on the person responsible for this.
