General CR Meme

We have Jaunt-specific posts for plotting and CR, but CR doesn't end between Jaunts, and building relationships and character development can span more than one Jaunt. Thus, a general CR meme, for all your long-term plotting needs.

<b>Character:</b> NAME ✥ CANON ✥ <i>OU/AU/PG</i> ✥ <user name="JOURNAL"> <b>Character Info:</b> Give us the thirty second summary of your character, so people unfamiliar with canon can know the basics at a glance. <b>Upcoming Plans:</b> <a href="LINK TO JAUNT PLOT POST IF APPLICABLE">Jaunt plotting is here</a>! Anything you have planned for your character - specific to the current Jaunt, or more long-term. <b>CR/Plotting Desired:</b> What would you like to do with your character in the future? Be as loose or specific as you want - negative CR, positive CR, directions you want to go with character development... <b>Additional Notes:</b> Anything else!

Raidou is from an anomalous timeline that was supposed to be fixed, but unfortunately the people in charge of fixing it sent Rasputin. (Raidou's aware his timeline is "wrong," but he's not really sure how to feel about it, since he rather likes his timeline.) Whether that would be of interest to Tick-Tock, I don't know.

It would be of great interest to him! Tick-Tock can actually sense when there are things wrong with the timeline, so Raidou would probably stick out like a sore thumb to him as a person who 'shouldn't' exist. He would definitely want to investigate the problem.

...Which would probably put Raidou on the defensive almost immediately.

It's funny, because it's a minor plot at best in the first game, and then it never comes up at all in the second. You'd think whoever sent Rasputin back might take exception to his neglecting his job and going off to do his own thing, but apparently not. (The fact that it's Taisho 20 while all this is happening, when the real Taisho Period ended five years earlier, is just the icing on the time-traveling cake.)

The whole concept of sending Rasputin to fix anything is pretty hilarious, actually. It sounds like a very interesting canon! I'll have to do some wiki research when Tick-Tock runs into him, just so I can be aware of what history should look like, at least to the Colonel. I imagine he probably wouldn't help poor Raidou's defensiveness any - he can be terribly blunt at times, especially about time related stuff.

Rasputin the time-traveling android devil summoner whose demons all hate him.

Raidou can deal with bluntness up to a point, and he does know that his timeline isn't "supposed" to exist, but it's still not a particularly pleasant thing to hear, especially from an outside observer, so I can definitely see them not getting off to the best start.

Does Tick-Tock's canon have any strict rules about meeting alternate versions of oneself and the like? Because Raidou's done that a couple of times.

[set_your_watches_for_fun]

Any rules from Tick-Tock's canon can be considered unstrict - it's a comedic podcast, so they play pretty loosey-goosey with that stuff. There is a whole episode about meetings multiple other selves, though (in his case, it was Oscar Wilde). It causes a paradox, and the more of them you meet, the greater the effect, until some sort of dire calamity happens, like the complete unraveling of the timeline. But it's completely unclear how many times that needs to happen, or how many versions of one person need to be in the same room.

In Raidou's canon, it is "detrimental" to stay too long in a timeline that isn't his, but meeting himself specifically doesn't seem to be much of an issue. The worst that happened was that his counterpart thought he was an impostor and had to be talked out of attacking him. And then he was sent on a fetch quest.

...Raidou's canon also features Japan launching a satellite into space (in 1931), which results in Neil Armstrong being condemned to wander eternally outside of space and time as a lost soul. (The satellite ends up being blown up by Raidou's mentor and one of his demons after they're launched into space in a homemade rocket to take it down. Again, in 1931. The first DSRK game is really, really weird sometimes.)
