Character Information
Name: Sanae Hanekoma
Canon: The World Ends With You
Canon Point: Post Secret Ending
Age: Unknown, looks early to mid 30's
History: General game storyline in a timeline format and Sanae
Personality: Sanae is essentially three words: cool, calm, and casual. He takes everything in stride, and puts everyone on an equal level. Even with the Composer, Sanae is completely casual in his tone and totally informal around him. In a bleak and serious situation, he can be counted on to keep a cool head on his shoulders. For example, when Neku told him that Shiki was used as his entry fee, Sanae reacted sympathetically, but replied with an upbeat and optimistic idea, which did seem to help cheer up the kid. He also comes up with random nicknames, sometimes horrible ones, for people. The best examples are that he refers to Neku as Phones (because of his headphones), Joshua as J, and Beat as Skulls. People are also drawn to him for some reason, which is most notable with Neku, the least social person in the entire game. Even Joshua has admitted that there is something about him that people are simply drawn to.
However, he's also a wise individual. Indeed, he lends his help to anyone who asks for it, subconsciously or consciously. Sanae willingly tries to set people on the right track, and is also willing to lend an ear to anyone who just wants someone to listen. He's very much like a barista. He helps Players especially, knowing that death and the shock of being thrown into the Reaper's Game can take a bit to adjust to. This is seen immediately in the first week, specifically telling Shiki and Neku that he just helps out the Players and owns a cafe. He also passes on some helpful advice, though it's vague because he wants them to figure it out for themselves. This is seen when he tells Neku that the kid still doesn't understand what it means to "enjoy the moment" and "broaden your horizons" during week two, but doesn't elaborate more on it. All Sanae does is tell him that the world ends at his borders, and leaves it to Neku to figure the rest out for himself.
As informative as Sanae can be, he is just as secretive about certain aspects of his life. For example, his role as the Producer is kept a strict secret, in which nobody except the Composer and the Angels know about. He does things behind the scenes and out of the spotlight, being subtle as opposed to loudly broadcasting what he's doing. It's implied in the Secret Reports he wrote up that he doesn't mind doing this, and claims that he does careful planning behind the scenes. Sanae can also dodge questions pretty easily. For example, when Neku asked who he was, he basically gave him his name, blood type, occupation, hobby, birthday, star sign, and favorite word, which was definitely not what Neku was asking for. Basically, he makes it clear when it's a subject he doesn't want to talk about.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he has a gift with manipulation when he needs to call on it. The best example of this is when he uses Sho Minamimoto to abruptly interfere with the bet between the Conductor and the Composer by telling him exactly who the Composer is, which is to say the identity the Composer takes in the Real Ground (RG). This then leads to Neku becoming the Composer's proxy, and then tells Minamimoto how to create Taboo Noise, which can attack both Players and Reapers, regardless of pacts. He does this to sabotage the Composer, to make him lose the bet and save Shibuya from erasure. Essentially, Sanae did it for Shibuya, regardless of the consequences he will surely face for breaking a couple major rules. He also says that he "happily accepts" his status as a Fallen Angel in the Secret Reports, since he knows full well that his actions caused more good than if he had just sat there and observed everything.
This isn't to say that Sanae doesn't care about people. He does care, most notably when he takes in Beat after his sister gets erased, and when he encourages Neku to try being friends with Shiki and Joshua. However, when it's a choice between saving Shibuya or his friendship with the Composer, he puts his personal feelings aside in order to do what's right. Sanae might prefer that Mr. Composer doesn't get killed, but if that's what it takes, then he'll do it despite what his feelings are on the matter.
Abilities:
*As an Angel, he's insanely strong in terms of fighting abilities and mental barriers against potential mind manipulators. In Sanae's canon, Angels are the most powerful entities, but they primarily watch the lower planes and interfere only when absolutely necessary.
*Like the Composer, Sanae can go back and forth between dimensions. This will just be toned down to teleporting within the city limits if he's feeling lazy.
*He has the ability to create pins with special abilities locked inside them, such as the Player Pin, which allows the Player to look into the minds of others.
*Sanae's paintings can have a very unique affect on the person who looks at them. His art causes a mass imprint on people, a subconscious suggestion. The effects vary on how receptive a person is to the imprint. For example, the mural in the Udagawa Backstreets works exceptionally well on Neku because he's so receptive to the idea of "enjoying the moment." There'll be a permissions post for this.
*His speed is exceptional, not to mention he hits hard. It's insanely difficult to kill Sanae or any Angel in general.
*He can read people's souls, which is essentially a combination of empathy and telepathy. There'll be a permissions post for this.
*His Noise form is called Panthera Cantus, which allows him to assume two independent transformations. One looks like Sho Minamimoto's Noise form and the other looks like Konishi's.
*He's got angel wings that he can manifest and dismiss at will.
*Sanae can become invisible at will because of his ability to go into all of the different Planes.
*He can get a sense of a person's intentions through an object that the person has touched. However, those intentions need to relate to that object. For example, if a person picked up a baseball bat with the intention to play a game or hit someone over the head with it, Sanae can pick up on that if he chooses to do so.
Strengths: Intelligent, manipulative, easy to get along with, keeping secrets, empathetic
Weaknesses: Lies through omission, not straightforward, doesn't give many personal details, self-sacrificing, willing to break/bend rules
God/Shinki: God
Why?: Sanae's abilities, experience, and in general being an Angel makes him more qualified to be a god than a shinki. He generally prefers to be the one in control rather than the weapon.
Top 3 Choices: Bast(et), Odin, Athena
God Type: He's not too concerned about living up to the previous god's name or reputation. Sanae isn't him/her and never will be, and he's okay with that. He'll answer any prayers that both he and his shinki can agree on.
Power: Probability Manipulation - Sanae will be able to increase the chance of an unlikely event or decrease the chance of a likely event occurring. However, he can't manipulate any event that's impossible or absolute. It must be something that has more than a 0% chance of happening or less than a 100% chance of happening.
