Terror Radius: 32 Meters
Weapon: Revolver
Lore:
Tohru Adachi is a man defined by one thing and one thing alone, the boundary between the talented and the talentless. He, believed himself to be lumped in with the latter, as a child, only fixated on his own success in academics, soon finding work in the Japanese Police. Deciding on the profession exclusively so he could have access to a gun.
It wasn't made to last, however, and soon, after an error of his own doing, he would find himself dispatched to the quiet town of Inaba, working as an assistant detective under Ryotaro Dojima. His new life was filled with the boredom he had tried so desperately to crawl away from. He had been completely and utterly swept aside into the muck that was that hick town, and he loathed every second of it.
That boredom though would soon come to an end, after a fateful encounter with a goddess in disguise, he found that he now had the ability to enter the screens of TVs into the TV World. It was only a matter of time until he truly got to play with this power, having shoved one Mayumi Yamano and one Saki Konishi into the TV World, leading to their untimely demise in the real world, their bodies discovered strewn across power lines as the fog retreated from Inaba.
Over the following months, Adachi continued forth, orchestrating a game of cat and mouse between a group of high school students who shared his powers, attempting to discover the killer of the two victims, whilst simultaneously manipulating a third party to kidnap various residents of the town, forcing them into the TV World, only to be rescued by the Investigation Team of Yasogami High.
This would soon come to a head inside of the Inaba Hospital, however, as the Investigation Team finally came to the conclusion of Adachi's guilt, and, with one small slip-up in his explanation, he had lost his feigned innocence. Thus, he began to make his escape, sprinting down the hall, retreating into the TV World to return to safety in the fog of that realm.
In this, though, as his eyes opened inside of the TV World, he would immediately be able to tell something was off. That off-yellow tinge that was native to that realm, the horrid smell, it wasn't there anymore, nor were the shadows that roamed its expanse. It was different, inviting, almost, the chilling fog inviting him, offering refuge which he would gladly accept.
Power: TV World
Passive Effects: The trial begins in the Real World. The TV World meter fills passively throughout the match at a rate of 2.5 charges per second. This fill rate is increased through bonuses that occur from killer interactions, mentioned as follows:
Injuring a Survivor with a Basic Attack or Hooking a Survivor - 20 charges
Injuring a Survivor with a Ranged Attack - 25 charges
Starting a Chase - 10 charges
Reloading - 5 charges
(Each injured survivor grants an additional 1 charge per second, to a maximum of 4 charges per second).
Once the total charge for the TV World is activated, the trial enters the TV World for 60 seconds. Fog thickness is set to maximum, and the sky turns yellow, survivors suffer from Blindness. The Fool benefits from clearer vision along with the following effects:

Ability: Evil Smile
All survivors within The Fool's terror radius now view the stain directly underneath them. Furthermore, the killer's terror radius is considered to be directly on top of them. This lasts for 15 seconds.
Ability: Magatsu Mandala
Magatsu Izanagi summons an indicator on the ground that gradually gets further away from the killer the longer the power button is held. When released, a small, circular area of effect will form, indicated by a glowing red stain and several symbols appearing in the air around its circumference. Any survivors caught inside of this area of effect will be injured, while also suffering from Hindered (10%) for 10 seconds.
Ability: Vorpal Blade
Magatsu Izanagi unleashes a horizontal projectile as it swings its spear. This projectile will injure any survivors struck by it. This projectile will instantly break pallets that are struck by it.
Perks:
Heat Riser: Upon being stunned by a pallet, the killer gains a stack of Heat Riser. Each stack of Heat Riser grants 1%/2%/3% Haste, to a maximum of 3 stacks. A stack is removed upon performing an attack.
"Damn brats! Shut up and let me finish you off!" - Adachi, Tohru
Final Act Twist: After successfully repairing the 4th generator in a trial, any survivors actively working on a generator will scream, revealing their aura for 3/4/5 seconds. Furthermore, they gain the Exposed status effect for 15/20/25 seconds.
"What!? Th-That's ridiculous! We already know Namatame's the one who put them all in!" - Adachi, Tohru
Bored Cruelty: After successfully downing a survivor, any survivors within the killer's terror radius suffer from Oblivious and Exhausted for 5/10/15 seconds.
"I like that look on your face." - Adachi, Tohru
Mori:
The camera pans into the survivor's face as The Fool approaches from behind, grabbing them by the back of their neck before turning to the side, revealing a powered CRT TV, that The Fool promptly pushes the survivor towards, pausing for a moment as they struggle to try and escape his grasp before completely shoving them through the screen, causing them to vanish into thin air as The Fool brushes his hands off and lets out a sigh, the camera panning back towards him as he starts to walk away only for the survivor to fall from the sky above, hitting the ground with a splat, The Fool laughing maniacally as the animation finishes.
