## Appearance

### Hair colour

Blue

**The Originator (Full name Eraser-Kaito, typically referred to simply as "Originator")** was the fourth visitor to ever appear in KAITO DIMENSION. Upon first visit, he was frantic, having not seen a unique environment for a long time. It has since become apparent that this first impression is not telling of his actual personality - he tends to be quite calm, rational and blunt. He cannot keep up with lots of things at once, so he takes most things very slow. He takes great interest in researching the inner workings of KAITO DIMENSION.

## Appearance

Originator has long, messy, dark blue hair, going about halfway down his back. Around the very beginning of the story, his hair is matted and growing some mold, as it had been untouched for years. One of his eyes has been gouged out, and there are scratches all around it, as well as elsewhere on his face, and on his neck, arms and hands.

He wears a grey short-sleeved shirt, with a typically unbuttoned white cardigan on top, his left pocket carrying his notebook and his right carrying his pens. He wears a blue scarf, tied loosely over both these items, almost going from shoulder to shoulder - he refuses to go without it, but feels as though he is trapped if he wears it any tighter. He wears black trousers, with black flat-heeled boots. He tends to keep his black fingerless gloves on - they are the one item of clothing he likes to be tight. His theory is that it's because it feels as though somebody is holding his hands.

## Personality

Originator, as previously mentioned, usually keeps quite calm. Rarely is he excitable, but this *can* be seen when he is talking about or looking at caterpillars, his favourite animal, or when he is discussing the workings of KAITO DIMENSION. This joy, early on, would sometimes frighten other visitors, who had never seen him so happy - his expression tends to be blank.

While he is quite realistic or even optimistic in his thoughts about the present and future, Originator spends a lot of his time haunted by events of his past, particularly the death of his lover, Meiko. In the decade or so since she was taken, reduced to nothing right before his eyes, there has not been a single day in which he has not thought about her. For a very long time he refused to ever sleep in KAITO DIMENSION because he knows that he often screams in his sleep, as he has terrible nightmares about the event.

As he was neglected as a child and had very limited relationships (one friend from ages five to fifteen, and he lived only with his little brother Len for ten more years) Originator struggles a lot with social cues, sarcasm, sayings and the like. This lack of socialization also has a part in his slow processing speed and movement. He is also autistic, which certainly has a part in such problems. Neither he or anyone around him knows he is autistic, and it is not actually mentioned in the story, but it is a confirmed fact. These things also cause him to be incredibly blunt, saying exactly what he thinks about things and answering honestly, with little to no filter. A great example of this is when he told Guilty that he will never love him more than he loved Meiko, but that he is the closest thing he could get.

Originator also has a speech impediment - he struggles with a lot of sounds and is hindered by lots of missing practice over the years. His R, L and S sounds are usually very soft, he will often leave large pauses between words (if he were to try not to he would stammer) and he has difficulty timing his breaths with speech, often taking breaths while he says words. The pauses, stammering and breaths are often confused for nervousness. His speech impediment, along with his other delays, sometimes causes others to treat him as though he is a lot younger than he actually is, or actually think that he's younger than he is, usually without even realising that they're babying him. This causes a lot of frustration for him, especially if people try to do things for him.

Another confirmed fact that is not actually to be outright stated in the source material itself is that Originator is claustrophobic. This is the primary reason he likes to wear his clothes so loose. Because of this, he also avoids sitting anywhere that is hard to leave from, and he prefers the door of whatever room he is in to be open. If it were up to him, he would even keep the front door open, but he understands well that other visitors are more sensitive to the cold temperatures than he is.

## Backstory

#### Early Years

Originator was made on the 1st of April, 1998 by Eraser, who created him as the first baby in a new generation, since all her previous children had died after about four-hundred years. He was created, as all her children have been, to help her take over worlds, growing her own power. All children of Eraser take her name, put in front of their own name; Originator's real name is Eraser-Kaito.

Typically so for a child of Eraser's, being made in the form of a human, young Eraser-Kaito found love more natural than the evil goal that was forced upon him. He grew intensely attached to his mother, loving her very much and clinging to her at all times. Eraser did not appreciate this love, since she wants her children only to know hate. This clinging disgusts her, and hate motivates them to be destructive, which helps her increase her power.

In an attempt to make him hate her, Eraser ripped out Eraser-Kaito's left eye when he was three years old. This was also done to give her somewhere on his body to put her material - part of her 'flesh', like a portal to her own black-hole-like body. This attempt did not work well, as it resulted in confusion, fear and sadness, but not anger, and not violence. He continued to cling to her - desperate for someone's love and care, but without anybody to give it to him.

After taking away his eye, Eraser started to ignore her son almost completely, only talking to him to encourage him to use his eye. He refused to do so, though, so she would force things into his eye, causing great pain. She told him he would feel better doing it himself, that he needs to learn to do it some day, but he could never be brought to destroy things. It isn't in his nature to destroy. She continued to put things into his eye, until he turned four, and she decided to leave him on his own. Perhaps, she thought, that would teach him the hate he needed to do as she taught him.

He started visiting the park every day, trying to meet people. Most ran away from him, or avoided him. By this point he had forgotten what Eraser had told him to do, and was beginning to forget all details about her in general. Most of his memories were vague - for example, he could remember what it felt like when Eraser forced things into his eye, both mentally and physically, but he could not quite put his finger on what was actually happening in those memories.

#### Childhood

NOTE: Here, Originator is sometimes referred to as "Kaito" on its own. All mentions of "Kaito" in these paragraphs are referring to Originator/Eraser-Kaito

At the age of five, Eraser-Kaito met a girl his age: Meiko. Meiko was the first and only person not to shy away from him. The two were similar in their lack of parental care and friends. They also shared many of the same interests. Meiko did not mind being patient, so she was fine with helping Kaito learn things and doing things slower with him. Kaito loved to feel cared for, especially given the lack of care previously.

A lot of Eraser-Kaito's time at this point was spent learning things that Meiko had learned at school. She loved to teach him, and he always found it so interesting, even though he would sometimes end up very far behind her. Kaito never attended school, but since he and Meiko loved to do this so much, he always wanted to. He thought about going to school with Meiko a lot, particularly when she was there, leaving him all alone. There was nobody to send him to school, though, so he could only dream of it.

Eraser-Kaito had a love for drawing since he learned how to - at first he mostly copied Meiko's drawings, but as he got a hang of it, he started drawing things on his own. He always had an excellent mind's eye and was able to replicate what he thought of considerably well, if he took the time to do so.

Around this time, he learned that **caterpillars** weren't afraid of him, some actually seeming to like his presence, so he drew lots of them, as he became incredibly fascinated by them. He spent a lot of time trying to figure things out about them. Sometimes Meiko would be able to bring him books with a little bit of information on caterpillars and, along with bringing him joy, these books helped him to improve his reading by a great amount, given he would at most times refuse to have it read out to him, insisting on reading himself. He never stopped insisting on that, and his fascination with caterpillars never ended either.

Eraser-Kaito learned to climb, learning from copying Meiko's movements. He loved to climb up things in order to see the sky better, given his terrible vision didn't let him see it well from the ground. Even as Meiko started to lose interest in climbing things, Kaito never stopped, so he got even better than Meiko, though he needs to focus a lot and takes a while. He never properly forgot how to climb things.

The two friends spent as much time together as possible. Eraser-Kaito had an abundance of free time, but Meiko would only be around for a fraction of the day given she had to go to school and be home at a certain time. Both of them tended to be very well-distracted from their problems when together, but alone, Eraser-Kaito's lack of belonging and family upset him a great amount. The confusion around it also overwhelmed him a lot, since he had no idea why he was in this situation. He would very often have terrible flashbacks, with no idea what they were about, and the Eraser-eye would very often mean he had to stop what he was doing, because the pain was so terrible.

### Teenage Years

As they got a bit older, Meiko and Eraser-Kaito entered a romantic partnership. It felt natural to them both and it didn't change much - it was much like a slightly closer version of their existing friendship. Meiko was allowed to go out more often and was allowed to stay out later, which helped their bond get even closer.

Kaito began to feel more content with his situation, because there was nothing he could do to change it and because he was so happy with Meiko. Meiko tried her best to learn more about how to help with Kaito's problems and this, along with her increase in maturity, meant Kaito was able to cope a tiny bit better with the effects of his trauma. He started to get a bit more used to it, and he felt more safe too.

Eraser-Kaito's life took a turn for a worse at the age of fifteen, when, on one afternoon after school, there was heavy rain, so Meiko asked if he could take her to his house. She was curious about it because of the way he would describe it, and she was unable to take him to her house as her parents were in - they did not know him and wouldn't have approved of him because of his Eraser-eye. Since he had forgotten about Eraser, Kaito had little to no reason to decline, so he took her. The presence of a real human in the house alerted Eraser, and she appeared as soon as possible. She scolded her son, who found himself mortified at the sight of her, somewhat confused as to why, as he still couldn't remember exactly who she was. Eraser proceeded to absorb Meiko in her entirety. This event went on to forever haunt Kaito.

In the same afternoon after she had killed Meiko, Eraser banished Kaito in a closed-off room in another world. Already there, waiting for her, was her other son, Eraser-Len, who was four at the time. Since they were now trapped, she took back the Eraser material in their eyes, leaving them empty. She left them there, and they had seemingly no way of escaping.

Eraser-Kaito was completely unprepared to take good care of Len, who suffered from unbearable trauma, especially for a child so young. Kaito was unable to cope with his own, and he found great difficulty teaching anything to Len because of the limited amount of things he could show to him. Len grew more and more frustrated with him, and since he couldn't verbally express this, he would take it out on him, commonly having violent outbursts in which he would hurt Kaito.

Kaito took great interest in the computers in the room. They were all that was in the room, with very little power and very little on them to do. Slowly, he started to get a good feel for their inner workings. A lot of his time was spent on these. Everything stayed the same in the room throughout the rest of his teenage years, and it continued into his younger adult years.

### Up to KAITO DIMENSION

When he was twenty-five years old (technically twenty-four still, since his birthday is not actually in December), Originator accidentally executed a script that transported him to KAITO DIMENSION, changing his life. He tries his best to see if he can transport objects from KAITO DIMENSION back home, in order to enrich poor Len's life.

## Relationships

### **KAITO V3**

When Originator first met KAITO V3, he was ecstatic to be seeing any kind of new world or people at all, which overrode the first impression that he had, which was that V3 was afraid of him. This worked out quite well, because Originator realised afterwards that V3 was simply startled by him as such a strangely energetic new visitor and that he was concerned because of Originator's excitement about seeing new people and incredibly unkempt appearance.

Originator is very fond of V3 as he is nice to him and treats him the same way he treats other visitors in KAITO DIMENSION. He appreciates that V3 offers to help him get better at reading and writing, rather than offering to do things for him. V3 rarely uses phrases that confuse him, always waits long enough to see if he will respond to something, and never rushes him.

V3 is incredibly interesting to Originator because, as Perfect KAITO, he has a lot of very useful information relating to KAITO DIMENSION. He gave Originator a list of people he knows, and with this list, Originator has never heard a name from a single visitor that was not on it. Originator likes that V3 is completely willing to help with his research in any way he can.

Sometimes, talking to V3 will bring up terrible memories for Originator, because he had to watch his Meiko's dreadful end, but V3's Meiko is his wife. At first, Originator avoided talking to V3 about it, because he knew that talking about it would likely upset him even more, and that it would probably trigger flashbacks. But Originator once got upset about it in V3's presence, and now that V3 knows about what happened, he is a lot more careful about what he says about his wife.

## Trivia

* Originator is, by far, the most drawn KAITO DIMENSION character
* Originator is the only KAITO DIMENSION character who has multiple birthdays
* In early KAITO DIMENSION development, Originator was depicted as a calm poet and guitarist, with a love for walks in nature and bird-watching. He had nothing to do with Eraser, or even Len at this time and he had two perfectly normal eyes. Some of this original characterization has lingered and still shows in his character today, such as his love for nature, and his fairly calm demeanor.
