SETTING BACKGROUND
The world Omori — Sunny's alter ego — finds himself in is a child's dream. Literally. There are no obligations or rules and the kids and creatures can have fun and play all day long. But this isn't the real world.
The real world is much like ours. Sunny is no longer a child as he is in his dreams, but rather a regular high school shut-in who is plagued with fear and anxiety. The game works by traveling to this other world and to the real world to piece together the trauma that is slowly beginning to make him retreat more into himself. That same "something" haunts his best friend Basil as well ...

GAME POWERS
Magic weapon: Cursed
Sunny has a regular kitchen knife, but it's very shiny and sharp. It allows Sunny to instill fear; for an example, while the enemy is cut or stabbed with the knife, they'll feel an intense, anxious sort of dread and hallucinate something terrifying to them. The drawback here is that its curse makes him hallucinate his worst fears as well.
The fears/hallucinations will be most intense while the knife is in contact with someone (to the point of it being incredibly sudden and jarring) and will drop in intensity as long as its out. The longer the knife is out the less intense the fear is, and will decrease over a period of an hour or so. The hallucinations will happen during combat and after, depending on how soon the wound gets dressed/healed, if at all. If attention is given to the wound quickly the hallucinations will drop off abruptly.
ABILITIES
While he's not a leader-type or even someone that's easy to be friends with, Sunny has a strange charisma. He's reliable and easy to believe in and would do anything for his friends.
SETTING/SUITABILITY
Note: Sunny — or maybe his alter go, Omori — is used to fantastical adventures with colorful creatures, both friend and foe. I think he'd have a lot to learn, but I also think he'd fall in line pretty quickly and do what's best for everyone.

( This is painful, to see himself like this. Young; rounder along the cheeks. Same dead eyes, though. He's holding onto his violin, intact. )
Listen to Mari a little more. She might push you hard sometimes...
( Ouch. )
But all she wants is to get things right. You don't— ... don't want anything bad to happen to her, right?
( Child-him nods. )
Then never leave her. What I've—
( STAIRS SMASHED DEAD BROKEN NECK BRUISES DEAD DEAD DEAD— )
Wh-what I've ... l-learned ... i-is, uh ...
( SOMETHING IS BEHIND YOU IT'S COMING TO SWALLOW YOU IT LOVES YOU SO— )
That everyone ... had th-their ...
( "Something" appears behind child-him and Sunny falls back, chest heaving hard with the need to escape. Then, a different voice. Tinkling and gentle, ike the high end of a piano.
Sunny, don't you remember how to focus? Just like I taught you, little brother. I know you can do it no matter how scary it is, or how much it hurts.
He closes his eyes — no more something in the mirror. He stills his mind — no more racing, terrible thoughts. He evens his breathing — now able to finally get enough air to his screaming lungs.
When he opens his eyes again, little Sunny is there. Patient. )
Their own things to do. But really, well never ... leave each other truly. Especially not with Basil's photo album.
( The little guy seems content with that answer. He puts a hand on the glass, and then the spell breaks. )

PERSONALITY
⦁ ALOOF: Sunny is emotionally distant, even seeming dead, to even those he's closest to. With a near-constant flat affect and neutral face, he hardly shows strong emotions unless in the heat of battle, or going up against something he's absolutely terrified of. It's not necessarily that he wants to keep others at bay, but rather that it's just natural for him to do so.
⦁ QUIET: As mentioned before, Sunny is closed off and generally lets others do the talking for him. He's not quite nonverbal, but answers from him are short, sweet, and to the point. He'd rather not make a spectacle of himself even when around friends and family, so everything is turned inward.
⦁ SELFISH: While Sunny can be selfless and giving, and he often is, I think his selfish side is worth mentioning more. There's a part in his canon in one of the routes where he has the opportunity to save his best friend, Basil, but doesn't. This leads to both of their deaths. In addition, he's also somewhat selfish in that he's locked himself away and chose not to tell the truth of what happened to his sister Mari in order to save himself and Basil. This has led to the falling apart of their once tight-knit friend group as a whole and as individuals.
⦁ GLOOMY: Melancholy seems to have been present in Sunny's life for quite some time. It's the the way he's always been; shy, withdrawn, easily burnt out by human interaction, and a little awkward. His friends love him for this anyway, and they seem to understand him.
⦁ LOVING: He loves his friends and family dearly, but he's not really the type to say it out loud like that. He'd rather show it through actions, like well-thought out gifts and the like, moreso than words. This is because he can be a little shy and easily embarrassed by things that don't really warrant embarrassment from most folks.

Your character's inner child has been separated from your character into its own individual entity by a powerful spirit, and your character can speak to them through the game's magic mirror network. The child has been commanded to listen in silence, and in an ultimate test of self-awareness, your character has been told they must talk to them and pass them wisdom and emotional honesty they've gained through life experience. Every time you character lies or is otherwise insincere about something from their adult life, they get zapped with a painful magical shock from the spirit.
