Jikan (TROT)

The ill child

*"I wish I could've at least said goodbye..."* -Jikan\*

**Jikan** is the deuteragonist in The Relics of Time , he is known as a Timekeeper early in the game.

## Background

*THE FOLLOWING CONTENT MAY HAVE SPOILERS ABOUT TROT SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!*

Jikan was a very ill child. He was usually alone in his room, laying on his bed while looking outside the big window next to it. He never saw his dad as he was always out of the country for work, and his mom despised him, trying not to see him the most possible.

He was born in a rich noble family during the late 19th century. He was found to be very ill towards the age of 5, his illness is unknown.

He was offered to be a timekeeper after his death, and being a naive 10 years old and manipulated into it, he agreed. He now roams around, looking for anything fun to do or any human to propose a "deal" to.

He is now a timekeeper spirit, roaming around to find any fun humans to propose a "deal" to.

He also fights any monsters he finds with a pocket clock that transforms his powers/energy into attacks.

## Appearence

He has black eyes, Yuki described them to seem liveless on some occasions , and then to seem like normal human eyes most of the times. He has beige hair with a (cream) white streak on the front. He always wears his tophat unless it's some kind of special occasion. He usually wears a red suit, white chemise, and to finish a black tie and shoes. He always have a pocket clock in his pocket, no matter what. It seems to be his main weapon/magical object.

## Personality

Jikan is usually described as over-confident in his abilities, and quite annoying when you first meet him. He doesn't trust people easily neither, and does not seem reliable. He suprisingly cares a lot about fashion. He also says he wanted to be *an author* ---> but this information is not confirmed to be truth, since he is known to lie a lot about his past.

He does very well in mind skills, like communication and persuasion, as well as knowing a lot in literacy. (which is why it's most likely the truth he wanted to be an author with many other reasons.) But he does pretty badly in more physical stuff (in general).

He is pretty intelligent, more than what most characters except, usually suprising them at some occasions. He is also showcased as a pretty impatient character, despite being a timekeeper. He is also stubborn and possesive.

According to Yuki, he is a "stupid, annoying dumbass who cannot be trusted.", but far enough in the story, she warms up to him and starts seeing his qualities.

## Interactions

Jikan interacts with many characters in the story.

Yuki,.... (more to be added)

## Relationships

Yuki: Yuki is a strange orphan girl with whom he made a deal. He helps her in her adventure and fights, starting to become close and open up to her later in the story. Yuki has mixed opinions about him but still starts enjoying his presence later in the story.

His dad : He never really saw his dad but he pretty much hates him for lack of affection, it is also said that his dad always traveled and was rarely home, and when he was he wouldn't go check on his son or do anything. He would usually ignore him.

His mom : It is said that his mom despised him. She would usually dismiss her son if he ever went to see her, igniore him or say hurtful things if he wouldn't leave her alone. She hates him because he was the product of an arranged marriage, and his mom didn't like how he mostly looked like his dad (she hated). Jikan would still try to get affection from his mother, using up all his strenght to go see her, and trying to make her proud. Yet none of his efforts ever really paid off.

Maid Clara : Maid Clara was a maid working under Jikan's dad. Jikan had started seeing her as a mother figure during his childhood. She always felt bad about Jikan's situation, usually trying to ask his mom to at least play with him a bit, to then get threatened to be fired. She ended up quitting to be a maid at another house after Jikan's death.
