Raiden Astraea (CorruptMeNotBak)

Personality
Raiden is overly-energetic, oddly creative and innocent despite being almost completely independent from his family. In similarity to his brother, Raiden is often extremely childish and fails to see the severity of many situations, but this is often just a side effect of his ever-growing short-term memory loss and dementia. He tends to be extremely passionate about his occupation, family, and close friends, and when talking to strangers, often won't shut up about them. Raiden tends to get distracted very easily, even when discussing life-threatening scenarios.

Although he's an extremely cheerful person on the outside, he often deals with lucid nightmares and spurts of extreme levels of doubt. He doesn't cope well with emotions, and when too much piles up, he tries to make himself "forget" by any means necessary, including taking one of his own canon lives. His positive and negative emotions often switch randomly and instantly, so interactions with him can range from a casual chess game to trying to get him out of an existential crisis.

Background
Raiden and his brother, Sage, were adopted at ages 7 and 2 (respectively) on the same date as a "litter."
