Skills:
Saburo is a Doctor of Medicine, having obtained his doctorate from the University of Tokyo circa early 21st Century.
He's also quite a good amateur chef, being able to turn even the worst ingredients into something palatable.
Left handed, very neat handwriting. Tends to sign his name in English over his native Japanese.
Has something of an obssession with hazelnut chocolate due to it being the treat his father brought home for him every week as a child, think Eleven from Stranger Things with Eggos and you get the general idea. He won't eat it to the exclusion on everything else but it is his preferred snack and can be used as a bartering chip with him.
Superpowers:
"Imagine an infinite number of doors. All the same size, shape, colour, material... Almost indistinguishable, but one has been opened and closed more than others. That process leaves traces, the more it's done, the more traces it leaves. Finding those traces, the needle in the haystack and going beyond! That is my power, my Paisley Park!"

Guidance
Paisley Park's primary ability involves assisting individuals significant to Saburo in finding and reaching destinations more expediently, or escaping perilous situations. Paisley Park has for example manipulated a phone's GPS application, the results of a web search engine to enhance the efficiency of his investigations and instigated a chain of events allowing Saburo to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity. Paisley Park can also separate from it's user and go far away to help another ally in need.
When Saburo discovers Paisley Park for himself, it displays time-limited choices on his cellphone, laptop or any nearby screen. After selecting an option, Paisley Park provides him with the item he asked for which then comes in handy later. For example, the choice of flashlight results in Paisley Park giving it to Saburo, which then illuminates the location of something else he ends up needing a few minutes later. It offers a choice whenever Saburo needs to solve a problem, despite whether or not he's aware of what's going to happen, but doesn't act when Saburo is too slow to choose.
Electronics Manipulation
Although it mainly resides in his cellphone, Paisley Park enables Saburo to interact with various electronics at a level beyond humanly possible.
Paisley Park can hack into various electronic devices with ease and use them to help Saburo in his investigations or any other activity she is focused on, bypassing any security they may have. For instance, it could break into the data servers of the local police to identify a Taskforce Infiltrator by linking a tooth to medical records and dental prints. It can also travel through computer networks from Saburo's mobile phone in order to interact with other systems without being near the hardware. This particular ability is portrayed as Paisley Park going through endless corridors full of doors and breaking locks. At a more basic level, Paisley Park can delete/wipe files such as images or videos from other people's phones if Saburo wills it. Paisley Park also seems to be able to "copy" certain technological abilities. For instance, she is shown using her hand as an X-Ray to find the pieces of metal in a gunshot wound.
Shapeshifting
Paisley Park can freely change its shape. It can shift from a three-dimensional humanoid form into a flat, shadow-like figure, or even a formless puddle. This ability isn't limited to shape alone, as it was able to turn its head into a globe, changing usual road map symbols into the map of the Earth, and then into a map of a town.
Prosopagnosia
Paisley Park is able to remove the ability to differentiate between faces, objects, voices and texts if it touches someone, visualized by installing a computer virus in an organic brain or deleting the "mental maps" people create to navigate the world.
This renders the victim unable to recognize faces, resulting in seeing the same face on all people, even in reflections and in artificial faces such as in mannequins or video broadcasts. In addition to other people's faces, those under Paisley Park's power cannot differentiate between bodies, and voices. Moreover Kusanagi's victims can only read the same sentence in every text they might see, "Paisley Park is in your heart", and it can also make them confuse two specific objects or people for one another.
This ability can only affected one person at a time and lasts for 10 minutes. The person affected by this ability cannot be re-affected for 5 minutes.
Personality: Saburo appears as an amiable man who longs to have some sort of relationship, having been taken from his world by forces he doesn't understand and dropped into one that is actively hostile towards him. He is cordial to those around him, if a little cold. He saved a child from choking on his initiative, alluding to a heroic side despite allying himself with "terrorists", viewing Utopia as spineless and the Taskforce as "evil, government-serving fascist shocktroopers intent on forcing conversion or imprisonment". As a doctor he possess a tender attitude towards his patients, being concerned and caring, doing his best for them.
He disagrees with his mother's carefree lifestyle, suffering unhappiness with his domestic life as a result. On the other hand, Saburo idealizes his father and after the divorce of his parents, always cherishes the moments he would spend time with him. His troubled upbringing and a desire to understand the motives of others lead to his investigatory personality, seeing the police as either inefficient or corrupt depending on administration. Moving to America with his father was a culture shock but one he adapted to, soon making several friends.
His time with the Resistance has hardened him considerably, due to the repeated fights he has had to participate in to survive and ensure his "patients" survive, a term which covers those Resistance members he's close to as well as his actual patients. While at the beginning of his adventure, he was completely helpless against stronger foes as he didn't master Paisley Park and had no weapon training or tactical training, he progressively shows more resourcefulness in the face of the enemy and has shown a readiness to hurt them to protect himself or others.
Paisley Park has an independent personality since she first manifests unconsciously by Saburo in order to assist a Resistance band he shacked up with by bringing them to safety from their Taskforce pursuers. Paisley Park is loyal to Kusanagi and helps him as well as his friends to reach destinations or bypass security. Her primary objective is protecting Saburo which doesn't change even after she is discovered by the doctor himself.
She can be aggressive and violent when protecting her owner if he is threatened, as shown when it helps him to flee from the vehicle of kidnappers by twisting the ankle of the driver hard enough to break it, causing the car to crash and the kidnappers to smash headfirst through the windshield. Overall, she acts as the maternal figure Saburo wanted but was lacking in his life, due to his mother's failiings as a person and a mother.
History: I'd prefer to reveal more of it in the RP.
