COMPLIANCE
and Dietrich. And Buttsex
IF YOU JUST WANT THE DEATH NOTE THING GO HERE
1 - we have canonically Dietrich saying he *hates* orders. Despite this he's basically a henchman. A bossfight before a bossfight. High ranking yes, but still a henchman. He's a tool. What good will the RCO do for him? Not much, especially considering he is a Terran and who is running it. Like. Really. What?
2 - there's no real clear reason why Dietrich does what he does. Even if it is ALL FOR CAIN-SAMA!111 we also know Dietrich betrays Cain later in canon. WHOOPS.
sub2 - WHILE HE WAS INFLUENCED by Caterina we get that she talked him around basically. Even if she was really smart it still makes me kind of... mmm, well, it adds something.
DOING WHAT _______ SAID
SETH - Seth scares him. lol.
LIGHT - ahhh now it gets complicated. Dietrich doesn't actively hate Light, but he doesn't really like him or fear him either. He mainly does what Light asks out of amusement, or because it'll further the game. He's confident in his ability to take Light, quite easily, despite the tree-handcuff issue. Light also interests him more, now that the Note and Ryuk have been revealed. Light's a complex puzzle and to take it apart Dietrich is willing to wait.
ARE YOU 5 OR WHAT
Dietrich is a child. He's childish. He never grew out of WANT, MINE, and NO as his basic commands. Oh, he's grown into tact and learning to hide and lie and stuff... but he has pretty childish motivations.
.....ahhh, okay here's something I'm playing with. Part of Dietrich's beef is that HE IS BITTER and angry at the world. Yeah he shops at Hot Topic YEAH. The way he was when he deaged in camp is actually how I feel like his innermost thoughts usually run. Prettttyyyyyy ":|" and grumpy. Only then there's a healthy side of ":Dsadismamusement" piled on top. But he's deeply dissatisfied with EVERYTHING. He's too smart in a "why is everything imperfect and stupid ):" way as well as... okay. Mentally unstable. But he also figures NO ONE EVER CARED ABOUT ME :E in some... weird part of his mind.
It's all about striking back, in a very odd convulted sort of manner in his head. He's not going to admit he hates the world, or that he hates people or anything like that. In fact, he'd rather people who met him as a kid ignored the part where he was angry and bitter all the time. It really wears on his facade.
Right. On Light and the Death Note and OH MY GOD LIGHT ARE YOU STUPID.
No, not really.
Dietrich isn't going to NOTE CAMP or anything. In fact if he does decide to Note anyone it's probably... Seth, Abel, Crowley. And then only once and no more. He might not even go that far. So far his running opinion of the Note or rather, Light's killing since he didn't know about the Note until more recently was that Light didn't have the guts to just DO THE DEED HIMSELF. Dietrich isn't necessarily for KILLINNNNGGG he gets off on torture. Or mind games. Now, being able to say "...I can kill you, Father Nightroad~ in ways you can't even imagine" and then being able to carry the threat out. Yes. Doing it repeatedly? Not so much. He knows that repeated actions lead to tolerance and with tolerance comes boring reactions. Suck it.
AND TO REVISE THE EARLIER. Dietrich can't Note Seth or Crowley since he doesn't know their names. He would never make the Shinigami eye-trade so (He does know Seth's name, but since she has Augusta as well and since both Cain and Abel have last names but differing ones THAT THROWS A WRENCH INTO HIS PLAN and yeah.) So really just Abel is in danger of getting Noted. (Neo~ feel free to yay or nay or whatever on anything~. I'm easy.)
- Will Dietrich actually not be an ass when it comes to the Note? Probably. Light left instructions and Dietrich will probably follow them. He's pretty good at following directions, actually. When he wants to. The situation in camp is, as he sees it:
L v Light
Abel, Tres, Radu, Seth v him
uhm. Yeah. Despite his "man I always win" mentality... the odds do look a bit slim. Also on the Abel-Tres-Radu-Seth side he KNOWS is also Shigure, Crowley, Aziraphale, Pell, Pell's friends, Crowley's friends, Shigure's friends etc (AM I FORGETTING ANY MAFIA THAT REALLY WANTS TO KILL ME :/ I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF YOU). The odds are REALLY REALLY STACKED AGAINST HIM and... well, he honestly doesn't see the Note to be that much of an advantage. He can already kill people without touching them. He's not too prideful to pull out of a fight.
THIS IS ENTIRELY PLAYER PREFERENCE HERE TOO: I do not want to play out the "ohgodiknowdietrichisapsychoohgod" in many places. I just simply don't want to. I don't want to play "people know I'm a crazy sadist". I can, but won't. I'd drop before I did that |D. So Dietrich isn't going to rock the boat too much. Or I'm going to try to keep him just as sadistic and asshole-y as he is in canon without spreading dramasplooge all over. I WILL ATTEMPT. And ask that people help |D; yeah. Uhm. I'm sorry?
OKAY I know it must seem a bit against Dietrich's nature to do something that isn't JUST FOR HIMSELF!!111 but really he's not necessarily the I ONLY GO FORTH, FOR MYSELF AND IT'S ALL ABOUT ME GETTING AHEAD. He views himself as mostly ahead anyway. The Note is extraneous. The game with L and Light is both more beneficial and interesting than the Note. Yes the Note is powerful blah blah Ryuk blah blah Dietrich has SOME INTEREST IN IT YES, enough interest that he will avoid losing his memories if at all possible. But I also play Dietrich as not being interested in murder so much as... well, other things. Light's delusional let him play murderboy while I do something fun.
Uh. If there's any questions/comments/concerns/what ifs/what the hell are you doing feel free to ask. Conversation makes my brain work better than just blank essaying.
ON RADU
I know I've kinda failed at continuing to harass XP. Uhm. But he has new 'friends' and stuff :D and Radu has proven to be less and more entertaining... but getting cockblocked out of the library has been rather offputting and Dietrich is kinda :| is it really worth the effort sometimes.
- he will taunt/mock/subtly threaten Radu when he can.
- playing nice is also a threat/mock
- maiming is occasional and not frequent.
we'll probably do something soonish. Or. Something. I dunno. Cast interactions usually have me in knots anyway XD;
ON SASARAI
Okay.. uhm. Sasarai may be Dietrich's favorite person in camp. IN A NON RAPEY WAY. I... really have no idea how this happened, actually. Dietrich doesn't even necessarily ACTIVELY LIKE HIM not in the way he ... likes stuff. Since Dietrich likes stuff he breaks. Sorta. Anyway. Sasarai is someone Dietrich would LIKE to just hang out with and talk.
What why. I know. It's ... an odd concept.
MORE RECENTLY is the somewhat confused liking of Sasarai as a child. And by liking it was more like "kajsbdksakjabskja D: topped". WHICH is... pretty rare for Dietrich. Cain and Isaak topped him as a kid and that's it. Now Sasarai has. And Dietrich already had like/neutral opinions on Sasarai anyway.
...which. Oddly enough. Dietrich would mafia for Sasarai.'
... hm.
