Tatsu Tsuyu

Biography
A mostly ordinary man, aside from the fact that his romantic and sexual interests are so strong that it holds him back in daily life. He despises both of these qualities of his personality, yet has no qualms with the rest of himself. Upon hearing of the emergence of the supernaturally powerful Alnchy, he sees this as an opportunity to rid himself of these two things with this power, for the better of his many friends and his own mental and emotional health.

In his ending, it's revealed that part of his resentment came from the fact that more than one of his close friends confessed feelings for him but had no desire to become any sort of an intimate item, something that he understood and respected, but still felt devastated by. After finally ripping these two traits from himself, he becomes much more ambitious and focused, to the point where he reaches a point of 'fame and glory' (it is not explained specifically what he ends up doing), but still felt some sort of void within himself. However, he does not feel regretful, as he much more preferred that feeling than the feelings of what he rid himself of.

Some Guy remarks that many people like him have naturally overcome or come to terms with these feelings to achieve great things, and considers him a bit of a living paradox: he was a weak man that strengthened himself simply because he was physically strong enough to achieve the power to do so.

His Alt-Future variant depicts him as this internal conflict driving him to the point of insanity, his clothes and hair disheveled, and doesn't really say much at all anymore. In terms of gameplay differences, his attack motions are now wildly uncoordinated and primitive; doing much more damage at a significant cost of speed.
