Encounters of Note
Written in-character - as such, there are gaps in Raidou's information which he will fill later on, the more he discovers about the people he has met. Last updated on 20 June 2010.
YUKIKO AMAGI
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Inaba, Japan), 2009.
Abilities of Note: Once possessed the power of Persona.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
I took initiative and introduced myself to Amagi-dono the moment I discovered that she was one of Naoto-san’s friends from Inaba, and she received me kindly. If all of my partner’s friends are this pleasant, I look forward to associating myself with them more in the future!
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Port Island City, 2009).
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: ???
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
I... do not know whether his theorem on BREW eating is a stroke of brilliance, or the talk of a mad man. If he IS a mad man, though, he is kind: that much is certain.
LACUS CLYNE
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Plant.
Abilities of Note: Genetically engineered human.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
A very recent arrival to Death City. What is most intriguing is that she did not arrive alone - BREW allowed her to bring a “companion” of sorts with her, whom she has introduced as Mr. Pink.
Although she has not posted often, it is clear that Miss Clyne shows genuine concern for the people currently residing in Death City. I am under the impression that she is a woman of education and refinement... one can only hope to follow her example.
CUBA
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (country incarnate).
Abilities of Note: Incarnate of the Earth country 'Cuba'.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
While his methods of discipline appear to be... questionable, at best, Cuba-dono strikes me as kind and approachable. Perhaps I shall take up his offer of a drink in the future.
JULES DE FERRER
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Europe, 18th Century or later?).
Abilities of Note: None identified..
Relationship: Close acquaintances.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
That de Ferrer-dono is a man of breeding is of no doubt to me... he carries himself with dignity, and has nothing but intelligent opinions on any matter. I was most titillated by our discussions on religion and philosophy - that we have our differences serves only to intrigue me.
AERITH GAINSBOROUGH
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: I am… uncertain at this moment.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Aerith-dono was one of the first people I spoke with over the DEMISE network. I was immediately struck by her friendliness, and willingness to approach complete strangers without judgment.
If I may be honest, I am uncertain about how I must conduct myself in Aerith-dono’s presence. Should we meet in person, I fear I may embarrass myself in light of her personality. I am… unused to dealing with someone who is apparently so open and vocal.
HADES
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Mythical Greece.
Abilities of Note: The Death God of the Ancient Greek Pantheon.
Relationship: Client.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
It is most remarkable, how even gods can be stripped of their abilities and brought to Death City by BREW! I have always been awed by Hades-dono, and am only too honored to be allowed to serve him.
ARASHI KISHUU
Designation: Meister
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Tokyo, Japan), 1999.
Abilities of Note: Swordsman of incredible skill. Clearly experienced in combat.
Relationship: Friend.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Another warrior brought into Death City by BREW - the contents of her first post on the DEMISE network leave me with the impression that she has brought here before, prior to my own entrance. I am both fascinated and alarmed that such a thing was possible, although I am uncertain about whether there is anyone I can approach on the matter.
I have had the pleasure of sparring with Kishuu-dono, and our exchanges over the network have been nothing short of pleasant. I had once thought it presumptuous of me to assume that we have much in common, but I am now confident that we have much to share.
SHERLOCK HOLMES
Designation: Meister
World or Time of Origin: Earth (London, England).
Abilities of Note: Detective of astounding skill, brilliant mind.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Whatever I can write here will do very little justice to express the sentiments I have over my encounter with Holmes-dono in Death City! He is every bit the sharp and brilliant man that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle constructed him to be in the stories - that much was made clear to me in our first conversation, which was, as expected, a debate on metaphysics and possibility.
I am rather hesitant to approach Holmes-dono and introduce myself properly - I fear that I may in my excitement, cause him embarrassment with my actions. I also fear that he may be uninterested in such unworthy company as myself. Watson-dono’s intervention, however, may save me yet.
KANRA
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Unknown.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
...Are all contemporary women this forward?
RISE KUJIKAWA
Designation: Weapon.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Inaba, Japan), 2009.
Abilities of Note: Once possessed the power of Persona.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kujikawa-dono during one of the “meet and greet parties” staged by Shibusen in the hopes of fostering parternships between Meisters and Weapons. She is one of Naoto-san’s friends from Inaba.
Kujikawa-dono reminds me, in some ways, of Aerith-dono, although she does not make me nearly as uncomfortable. Naoto-san’s reaction to her, however, is of great interest (and concern) to me. Perhaps I must observe them further?
KURAPIKA
Designation: Weapon.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: His eyes apparently shift to red when he is under great stress.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Although we have barely talked, Kurapika-dono appears to be approachable and kind, in his own fashion. HIs choice of company, though, leaves much to be desired.
SUZAKU KURURUGI
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Potentially professional.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Kururugi-dono and I have only been recently acquainted - he was among the first to volunteer to aid the detective agency I plan to put up in Death City, and we have since had nothing but pleasant correspondences between us.
My current impression of Kururugi-dono is that he is approachable, friendly and confident. He has proven himself time and again since the establishment of the Agency, and am only grateful that he has decided to lend his assistance to me.
LUDWIG (GERMANY)
Designation: Weapon
World or Time of Origin: Earth.
Abilities of Note: Is, in actuality, an embodied country. Commendable leadership skills and military experience.
Relationship: Professional
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
My encounters with Germany-dono have been restricted to observing the man from a distance, and the occasional exchange over the DEMISE network. He is a visitor from the outside much like myself, but has established himself as a figure of authority to the people here.
ADRIAN MONK
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Detective.
Relationship: Associate.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Monk-dono appears ot be deeply reclusive, but the fact that he did not hesitate to answer my summons to all detectives and informants present in Death City can only mean one thing: that he is more than willing to offer his services in the name of a higher cause.
N
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Presumably Earth, 2010.
Abilities of Note: Detective.
Relationship: Sensei~~~~ Associate.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Another man of brilliance who is only too willing to share the depth of his knowledge with me! He approached me in a simliar fashion to Light-dono - I wonder if they are acquainted with each other or if they come from the same world.
Of course, it is obvious to me that he has much to hide, and this may be worrisome if his concealment is for a nefarious purpose...
I can only hope that this is not the case. He has helped me familiarize myself with contemporary criminology - if I am obligated to stop him for whatever reason, I will be deeply pained.
BADOU NAILS
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Informant.
Relationship: Associate.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
My only direct correspondence with Nails-dono was when he responded to my summons to the detectives, enforcers and informants in Death City. He has an impressive, if not questionabl resume, and negotiations for future dealings between us were remarkably easy. I hope that our business relationship will prove to be fruitful to the both of us.
NAMINE
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Her young voice betrays a great amount of wisdom and deep, possibly infinite sorrow. It would be too forward of me, I think, to inquire about her, although I admit that I am extremely curious. Perhaps I shall have opportunities to speak with her more in the future...
NATAKU
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Unknown.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
We have spoken but once, but his insight into the nature of BREW was complex. It is odd, though, how I feel as though he may be speaking from personal experience.
NEKU SAKURABA
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Unknown.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Sakuraba-kun volunteered to join my detective agency soon after Kururugi-dono. He reported to the Agency almost immediately, and was nothing but kind to me, unaffected by my shortcomings as a leader.
SARALEGUI
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Target.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Gunther-dono has assigned me to observe this individual, particularly with regard to the nature of his relationship with his King, Yuuri. My initial dealings with Saralegui-dono have been... telling, to say the least.
I do not know whether this man is truly a threat to anyone, but I am prepared to face him should he prove himself to be.
SOUJI SETA
Designation: Meister
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Inaba, Japan). 2009.
Abilities of Note: Leader of commendable skill given his age, fighter. Once possessed the power of Persona.
Relationship: Acquainted
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
My actual experience with Souji-dono is entirely limited - our exchanges on the network have been brief and professional, and we have not had the chance to speak further since the Adachi campaign. Nevertheless, I have heard nothing but positive things from my partner. Furthermore, Souji-dono appears to value Naoto-san and the rest of the investigation team - his friends - greatly. As such, I am assured that he is a man of character.
NAOTO SHIROGANE
Designation: Weapon
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Inaba, Japan), 2009.
Abilities of Note: Detective by training, excellent shot. Once possessed a power known as Persona.
Relationship: Presently my Weapon.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Naoto-san was one of the first people I encountered upon my arrival in Death City, and certainly the most helpful. I, like the rest of the populace of visitors, was led to believe that she was a boy - I discovered the truth during the Adachi incident, when I aided her from her Shadow. We immediately formed a strong bond, and our first fight together sealed our decisions to take each other on as partners.
I had come to know Sumire Shirogane, Naoto’s grandmother… she both takes after her ancestor and surpasses her in many aspects. I cannot help but feel, however, that Naoto has much deep-seated insecurity that she must work through. I can only hope that it is within my power to aid my partner in quelling these concerns.
Perhaps, in turn, I will be able to learn from Naoto-san myself.
SQUALO SUPERBI
Designation: Unknown
World or Time of Origin: Unknown
Abilities of Note: Unknown
Relationship: Acquainted
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
I have decided that I do not like this man.
TASSADAR
Designation: Unknown
World or Time of Origin: Aiur
Abilities of Note: Protoss (Sentient non-human)
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
BREW has brought in all manner of sentient being beyond humans much like myself, and Tassadar-dono is one such example. Of course, our initial exchange on the network had not revealed the full extent of his nature to me - hence, my surprise when we were presented with the opportunity to meet face-to-face. I can only hope that I did not disconcert Tassadar-dono with my gawking.
I am yet to gather the details, but I have managed to deduce that Tassadar-dono is a warrior of some repute from his home world. He has also shown himself to be entirely serious, and willing to cooperate with Shibusen if only because it may allow him to return to his own battlefield sooner. He is also courteous, albeit taciturn. Nevertheless, he is honorable, and has even stretched himself beyond what is necessary by volunteering to assist me in my endeavors. I look forward to training with him in the future!
KANJI TATSUMI
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Inaba, Japan), 2009.
Abilities of Note: Fighter of commendable skill. Once possessed the power of Persona.
Relationship: Friend.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Reportedly one of Naoto-dono’s comrades on their “investigation team”. Beyond my own partner and Kissu-san, Kanji-dono is the one other person I feel comfortable associating with on a more intimate level.
I admit, I originally found Kanji-dono intimidating - his physique is indicative of one used to fighting and winning through brute strength, and his rather outspoken. Nevertheless, if I am to base my assessment of his personality on the words of my partner and the few conversations we have had, it is obvious that Kanji-dono is an honorable man whose heart is in the right place. This was a fact I managed to confirm for myself, when he paid a visit to me in the Agency. We had a most pleasant conversation, and have had many more since that day! It excites me to know that I have gained a true friend.
USAGI TSUKINO
Designation: Meister
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Tokyo, Japan).
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Acquainted.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
I engaged Tsukino-dono in conversation following a most intriguing post of hers on the network… she presented herself the morning after the celebratory ball with questions on the dynamics of partnership. Given my original profession, I felt confident enough to venture forth with my own opinions on the matter, and Tsukino-dono was kind enough to indulge me.
Our conversation has made me aware that Tsukino-dono, like myself and many others, has been forced to abandon very important missions and friends because of BREW. That Tsukino-dono appears ot be taking the situation with grace, however, is inspiring for me. I hope to be able to speak with her at length again.
GUNTHER von KLEIST
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Unknown.
Abilities of Note: Unknown.
Relationship: Client.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
Gunther-dono's free praise and exuberance initially overwhelmed me - it was truly a test on my part, calibrating the proper and acceptable responses to his attentions. When he approached me with a business proposal, however...
The discrepancies between the man he presents himself as and the man he actually is intrigue me. Such contradictions are uniquely human things, and I do wish to learn more about my own species.
JOHN WATSON
Designation: Weapon
World or Time of Origin: Earth (London, England).
Abilities of Note: Surgeon of repute, notable observation skills, respectable level of intelligence.
Relationship: Professional.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
One can only imagine my surprise at discovering that Watson-dono, the figment of a man’s imagination, exists as a real human being in another Earth! I was a great admirer of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work, and I religiously followed the serializations of his work as a boy. To encounter Watson-dono is a deep honor, although I would have hoped that it did not have to be under such dire circumstances.
I have recently mustered up the courage to humbly request for Watson-dono’s aid in the detective agency I wish to run in Death City - I am deeply grateful over the fact that he has accepted. He has also offered to introduce me to Sherlock Holmes himself… this is something I can barely beging to express my gratitude for!
LIGHT YAGAMI
Designation: Unknown.
World or Time of Origin: Earth (Japan, 2010).
Abilities of Note: Police detective.
Relationship: Close associates.
OBSERVATIONS, NOTES.
My very first exchange with Yagami-dono, I feel, set the grounds for a deep and lasting friendship... we have much in common, and it is clear that Yagami-dono is a brilliant man with a deep love for country and a strong sense of duty. His intelligence, in fact, only serves to show me how much more I have to learn!
Yagami-dono has currently joined me at the Agency: he is quiet, courteous and wise. I look forward to consulting with him regarding our cases in the future.
