Tohru Adachi
Basic Details
Age: 27
Species: Human
Personality:
A cheerful and jovial detective, Adachi often serves as the story's comic relief. He jokingly refers to himself as the 'slave' of Dojima, complaining of the workload that his partner piles on him. Adachi also often accidentally blurts out the police investigation results to the Investigation Team, much to his own chagrin. He can be seen hanging around Junes Department Store, usually planning to buy cabbages to cook for dinner. His actions in public hide his normal thoughts and desires however...
It turns out that he is the one behind the mysterious murders of Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi. Once the truth is revealed, he shows his true colors as a sadistic and manipulative man, seeking to have fun. He already knew how dangerous The world inside the TV was, and threw Yamano into it anyway. He manipulated Taro Namatame into "saving" the next victim before the murderer could get to her, all while hiding the truth that he was behind the first two cases. He even said that he got a real kick out of it when he threw that "Kubo kid" into the TV. He acts as if everything was a game, and watched the events unfold. He doesn't seem to care about the consequence of his actions. He also believes that there was nothing great about the real world. It was just "dull and annoying as hell" to him.

Powers & Abilities
Ace Detective!: Adachi was once a Detective. As such, he has received police training, in everything from personal combat, to investigative work, to police procedure, to his personal favorite, Marksmenship. Despite being a lazy member of the force, he has shown himself to be able enough to put up a decent enough of a fight. He keeps his standard issue New Nambu m6 with him at all times, and is quite the crack shot with it.
Channel Hopping: Adachi has the power to walk into and travel through Televisions. Since the Midnight Channel was created, a pathway to the collective minds of the human race, those with Persona have been shown to be able to meld into the television and travel to the minds of others, living or dead. While within the world of the Television, Adachi can teleport, create clones of himself, and even defy gravity. He also tends not be harmed by shadows while in the Midnight Channel, and possibly can influence them to attack his enemies.
Persona, Magatsu Izanagi: The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed. Adachi has obtained the ability of Persona, the power to project ones personality into a summon-able entity to protect their owner or attack their enemies. A Persona manifest is the 'mask' one wears to protect themselves from hardships-- in Adachi's case, Magatsu Izanagi represents his twisted world view, clinging to distorted facts and perceptions in order to avoid facing the world around him, as well as his own actions. Magatsu Izanagi has shown the ability to manipulate Electricty and Wind, maintain some control over the element of darkness, and has proven adept at blocking Light and Dark attacks. It also has the ability to improve the combat ability of those around it, primarily Adachi and itself, as well as instill abject fear into those Adachi smiles at, and even outright kill them of fright with a ghastly wail (usable on players only with their permission). It's also been shown to tangle and entrap it's opponents in a strange sort of bolo-like spell that cannot be broken by sheer strength alone, and instead takes strength of will. Being able to cancel other improvements to others, such as an ability that allows one to attack harder than previously, Magatsu Izanagi's true strength lies in it's ability to deal out physical punishment, in the most brutal ways possible, showcasing it's hideous strength at every opportunity. Personae are also resistant to normal physical attacks from guns and chairs, and the most effective way to combat one is by supernatural means. Izanagi is immune to getting sick, and while it can technically be poisoned, throwing a vial of snake venom won't cut the mustard, and it's generally ill advised to attempt to poison a persona without a supernatural means-- besides, you could poison Adachi far easier, so why waste it on Izanagi?

Main/Important Equipment
-Wallet
-Cell Phone
-Police Badge
-New Nambu m6 Police Revolver
-Extra ammunition
Weaknesses
Psychological Flaws...
Bitches and Whores: Adachi can be quite a sexist at times, often getting irrationally at the opposite gender for being his perception of a 'Bitch' or 'Whore'. Since gaining his powers, he has been driven to attempt rape, and later, murder upon two such women as 'punishment'. That being said, he doesn't hate all women-- just those that prove themselves to be 'whores'. For example, he (appeared) to be quite fond of young Nanako Dojima, and never butted heads with the female members of the investigation team until they cornered him.
Pierrot/Lust: Adachi represents the reversed Fool arcana, or the Pierrot as it is called in his Social Link. He is impulsive, shows poor judgement and frivolousness, with a tenacy to 'obsess' over things. More than slightly unstable, his conflict with Izanami and now a new patron have made him more unstable than before-- though time will tell if his intention to 'reform' will hold back the tide of instability to come.
Physical Flaws...
No Superman: Adachi is simply an ordinary guy from a physical standpoint, and though he has the power of Persona, he is no more immune to general human frailty than any other man.
I am thou, thou art me: In battle, if Izanagi is injured, Adachi will be as well. While stabbing Izanagi in the stomach will not nessicarly have the same effect on Adachi, nor physically injure him, he will feel a sharp pain. However, more grievous injuries, such as impaling Izanagi's head, would reflect the same damage done unto his Persona, and cause Adachi to double over in pain for a short while. Knocking Magatsu Izanagi back however, will fling Adachi backwards, for example. However, lighting Izanagi on fire will not light Adachi on fire, though it will hurt him-- it just won't give him third degree burns.

History....
A cheerful and jovial detective, Adachi often serves as the story's comic relief. He jokingly refers to himself as the 'slave' of Dojima, complaining of the workload that his partner piles on him. Adachi also often accidentally blurts out the police investigation results to the Investigation Team, much to his own chagrin. He can be seen hanging around Junes Department Store, usually planning to buy cabbages to cook for dinner.
Should the Protagonist manage to stay calm and make the correct decision not to kill Taro Namatame (the Team's primary suspect of the bizarre murder cases), the Normal Ending is unlocked. The Investigation Team, upon further questioning of Namatame, realizes a horrid truth: everything they've deduced was the direct opposite. Namatame stayed true to his words- he was trying to 'save' the victims, but was merely misdirected. Although he did trap Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, and Naoto, he did not kill Mayumi Yamano nor Saki Konishi, the first two victims.
As the Investigation Team investigates further into the bizarre murder cases and the secret behind the Midnight Channel, they come up with bits of evidence and clues showing that Adachi had the perfect opportunity to murder the first two victims. As they investigate further, they find that Adachi has strong evidence of being the murderer.
Realizing this, the Team is informed that Namatame is going to have his transportation and rush to the Hospital, where they trick Adachi into accidentally revealing his connection with the murder cases. In an act of desperation, Adachi runs away from them and enters the Midnight Channel as his final escape.
The Investigation tracks down Adachi, and it turns out he waits within the very first reality the Protagonist, Yosuke and Chie ended up in - Mayumi Yamano's reality. Upon finding Adachi, the detective reveals that he held a romantic interest towards Mayumi Yamano and used his job on the police force to be alone with Mayumi while she stayed in the Amagi Inn, telling the others that he was sent by to protect her from the media.
When the two are alone in the inn's lobby, Adachi asks whether her affair with Namatame is real, which Mayumi brushes off and spurns his feelings. Enraged, Adachi pushes Mayumi back and attempts to rape her, but accidentally drops her into the TV behind them. Since Adachi only tried inserting parts of his body into the TV before, he was surprised and amused to see that humans can actually enter the TV. After the incident, Mayumi ended up as the first victim, with Saki Konishi being the witness of Mayumi's corpse.
Adachi later questions Saki about her discovery of Mayumi's corpse. Through his questions, Adachi tries to seduce Saki, but Saki retaliates by slapping him. Having his feelings spurned once again, Adachi pushes Saki into the TV inside the Police Station's interrogation room. Since Saki's body was lighter and skinnier than Mayumi, Adachi was able to push her with ease. Boasting his accomplishment, Adachi remarks that he wasn't committing crimes, but merely establishing justice by killing those two "gold-diggers" hoping to swindle Namatame's money.
When Namatame realized that every victim that was murdered first appeared on TV, he contacted the police- however, Adachi was the one who answered Namatame's call. Adachi then reveals that he was the one giving Namatame the idea of pushing the people who appeared on TV into the Midnight Channel (supposedly to save them from the murderer), and mocks Namatame's efforts, wondering aloud whether he was caught up in a messiah complex. When a student named Mitsuo Kubo came to the police station to confess to the murders of Mayumi and Saki, Adachi's superiors were less than amused, and pawned off Adachi off with the student.
Since allowing Mitsuo to confess to the murders would effectively stop Namatame from continuing to kidnap the people appearing on TV, and Adachi couldn't bear to let his "game" of cat-and-mouse end so quickly, he formulated a plan to lock Mitsuo into the Midnight Channel. His plans were, of course, foiled by the Investigation Team, but because Adachi turned off the lights in the interrogation room Mitsuo had no idea that Adachi was the one who pushed him in. When the Team finds him in the other world, Adachi comments that the 'game' would be boring if the Investigation Team were unable to track him down, and congratulates the Investigation Team in a mocking manner. The 'Adachi' talking to the Investigation Team in Mayumi's reality was revealed to be an illusion, and Rise and Teddie later found out that Adachi was already in his reality.
Adachi's ultimate goal was to create a large rift between the Midnight Channel and the Real World, allowing the fog to completely engulf the reality, making the world a place infested with shadows. Taunting the Team, Adachi escapes into his reality, and became surprised when the Team actually gives in to his taunts. Adachi calls the Team "losers", and wonders aloud why wouldn't they take life simpler by just studying, growing up, and getting through marriage.
Adachi's reality inside the Midnight Channel Magatsu Inaba takes the form of a twisted maze, covered in yellow police tape, potholes, and signposts. Upon reaching the final floor, Adachi sarcastically gives the Team a round of applause. His justification for his actions is that humanity wants the world to be a place where there is no pain and no suffering, and should the world's population turn into Shadows, that dream could become a reality. Adachi also claims that he originally became a police officer just so he could carry a gun. He proceeds to express his disgust and contempt towards society, saying that everyone is condemned to live a life filled with boundaries- only the lucky few who are born with talent are able to get out, and everyone else is forced to either deny or accept the fact that they will never achieve their hopes and dreams.
Ignoring Adachi's words, the Investigation Team engage Adachi in a fight. During battle, Adachi reveals that he can summon a Persona, with his Persona taking the form of none other than the Protagonist' initial Persona, Izanagi. However, unlike the Protagonist', Adachi's variation of Izanagi takes the form of a bloodied, vein-covered and more malevolent form. After his defeat, it is revealed that Adachi was being controlled by an entity called Ameno-sagiri, who is the real mastermind behind Adachi's plans of filling the world with fog. However, Adachi himself expressed that it was also partially his true desire as well; and thus was not totally possessed by Ameno-sagiri, and is still to blame for the murders.
Upon Adachi's defeat, he questions the Team's reluctance of killing him, asking them wasn't that their initial goal of pursuing him, in which the Team replies that killing him would essentially continue the cycle: one dies; and shows up in the antenna the next day. Surprised by the Team's resolution, Adachi finally gives up, and willingly follows the Team out the Midnight Channel. Outside the Midnight Channel, upon the polices arrival, the Team was inquired that whether a stretcher would be necessary to carry out an exhausted Adachi, which reveals to be a personal favour of Ryotaro Dojima. Further surprised by the polices' exclamation, Adachi finally acknowledges that despite Ryotaro's strict orders towards him, Ryotaro still considers him as an assistant. Guilt-ridden and touched, Adachi swore to confess his crimes to the police, making full cooperation with them.
If the events of the True Ending Arc, which follows after Adachi's defeat, the Team receive a letter from the recently-convicted Adachi, stating his suspicions about there being a higher being orchestrating the entire thing. Unfortunately, he can only give vague clues at best- and tells the Protagonist it is up to him to solve the mystery.
