** Tatsuya Suou from ''VideoGame/Persona2'' is an interesting case. Sure enough, both the girls and many guys want him, he is popular with his classmates, really handsome and athletic, and while he frequentle skips class (not school, just lessons), he's good at athletics, English and mechanics. Guys hope to be as popular as him or are jealous of his popularity, he can take on delinquents from other schools, lots of people want to talk to him, it's implied that he's a school celebrity. However, the whole thing has significantly darker undertones; for every person who thinks Tatsuya is cool there is a dark rumour to accompany it. Yes, everyone on campus knows he's a badass - that's where the knife scar on his back came from, right? When he put those dudes in the hospital? Hey, doesn't he have a really similar name to that serial arsonist? Why is he avoiding the CoolTeacher so much? She even threatened to visit his house if he keeps avoiding her. Or the LovableAlphaBitch who has a massive crush on him? Why does he avoid his ''family''? Hey, he's hanging out by himself all the time... you know, alone...
