Mamoru Takuma (Better 2000s)

Mamoru Takuma was a mentally disturbed convict whose first offense was rape in November of 1984. He had been through four marriages, and exhibited bouts of violence. In 1998 he was working as a bus driver when he assaulted a female passenger because of her strong perfume being distracting to him. He attempted other jobs such as working maintenance at an Elementary School. It wasn't till he put tranquilizer into the tea of teachers in March 1999 that he was diagnosed as Schizophrenic. He tried to commit suicide but failed and was committed to a mental hospital. In April he was released though he continued to exhibit odd behavior such as believing himself a survivor of the Japanese Airlines Flight 123 crash. He was even accused of trespassing on private property in November. He got a job as a Taxi driver, and again assaulted someone. In September 2001 he admitted himself to a mental hospital realizing his need for help.

Developer Notes

 * In OTL Mamoru carred out the Oaku School Massacre where he killed eight students with a kitchen knife. Our POD is simple, in OTL Mamoru checked himself out of the mental hospital- and set out to get himself killed via the Death Penalty which guilt drove him to desire. Such was his motive for the massacre and for his cruel testimony. Where we could have for some reason him be alright in the 2000s it's obvious he was not. Getting help in 2001 is the most logical positive divergence in this man's life to be taken.
