Ragnarok

## Main Lore

Ragnarok is a Spirit Isekoi working as an Archivist, he collects information in many unsavoury ways but does what he has to for his end goals. He also works at the Moe Moe Koi as a means of transporting goods. In addition to this he lives with Mai, his Sponsor Koi, at her Okiya.

Ragnarok, being an isekoi and entirely comprised of souls, has an unstable connection to the world of Elysium. This means that his being degrades slowly over time, souls being lost to the data of which it is alien to. This concept I refer to as a **Soul Clock**. The only way he can increase his amount of time in Elysium is to absorb more souls, by wielding the katanas gifted to him.

### Prior to joining the Koillective

#### Pre-elysium

Before living in Elysium, Ragna was trained by the Oni of Oeyama Mountains in her temple; he originally went there to face the "demon" that occupied the land, but he found Ojou and after struck down by her blade, agreed to train under her in both swordsmanship and skills in wider life.

This abruptly ended one day when several portals appeared on the mountain, seeing this as a test from those in higher planes, each of those studying under Ojou entered their own unique portal. Ragna's portal, immaterial for the others, had a sapphire glow around its edges, opposed to the crimson and white of the others.

Before entering the portal, Ragna was gifted his two prized katanas, mere copies of the ones that his master used, but equally as terrifying in power and ability; He understood the responsibility, accepting it whole-heartedly and moved through the portal.

### Affiliate & Joining the Koillective

Ragna had ended up with the Bettelion after his many years of wandering the wilderness, this resulted in him finding many like-minded people and enjoying his time there. Then a day came where the Koipanions and Bettelion agreed to make deals in order to strengthen their alliance. Ragna would not be allowed into these negotiations because of his warmongering nature, and thus only influenced the ones who did take part; however after the ordeal had finished, one of the 2 koipanions who had been part of the negotiations offered Ragna a hand to join the Koillective. Initially Ragna declined, but the koipanion was insistent and dragged him along to the koi pond regardless.

### Initial Shinri Encounter

After finding a concerned merchant worried about his friend not being on time for a delivery, Ragna follows a long trail of clues through a town bordering Xenokuni and ends up in the forest outside of the border. Swiftly he made his way through the proposed route the merchant's companion had taken, only to find him on the ground with his cart on its side. Somewhat covered by the shadow created by the cart was a man clad in orange wielding a bow. Without any talk, Ragna assisted this man in taking down the threat looming over the three of them; after which they each exchanged pleasantries. This man turned out to be Shinri, who had also come to assist the merchant and happened to be a friend of Mai's, the koi who had so "kindly" given him shelter.

## Stats and Abilities

### Stats

**Health**: Since Ragna is a spirit and is classified as dead, he can never be in worse health.

**Strength**: This is determined by his capability of telekinesis since that determines the power, speed and overall force of the blows delivered.

**Dexterity**: Since he was trained by a fierce Lady Oni at the top of her game, he has learnt to be very dexterous by using his weapons to his advantage when avoiding blows and making sure to catch opponents off guard to land them. He can also move specific parts of the weapon through his Telekinesis, which allows for sharp, unexpected movements that wouldn't usually occur in combat against a physical combatant.

**Wisdom**: From the wealth of experiences Ragna has gained, he has lots of advice to give to those who need it, so that they may not stray the best path that they have the potential to follow.

**Intelligence**: Ragna has been taught a lot about his previous world and from wandering, lost in this one, he has gained experience and knowledge.

**Charisma**: Ragna prefers combat to talk, content with sitting quietly and talking to select koipanions. He may learn from those koipanions, but it would be a long, tedious process trying to get Ragna to be considerably charismatic.

**Magical Ability**: Even though he is a spirit there is little magic ability; he can use possession to its fullest but nothing that is truly "magical" in people's eyes.

### Abilities

#### Telekinesis

Ragna's possession of objects can be easily summarised as Telekinesis; he can split off parts of his body to control things; be it weapons, clothes, people or animals. How deadly each weapon is depends on its mass compared to the force of the spirit portion possessing it, since acceleration = Force/mass. As these swords are close replicas, if not equals to Ojou's swords, they also draw out the spirit of a person, however this spirit cannot gain sentience and instead is absorbed by Ragna, increasing his attack and movement speed.

#### The Devil On Your Shoulder

Ragna has the ability to split his form into many smaller versions of himself, each of which he can see, hear and interact through. this ability allows him to "connect" himself to the soul of a being therefore being able to follow them around regardless of situation (some exceptions apply). This effectively allows stealthy intel gathering, instant teleportation and soul siphoning.

As many will first think as they see a smaller form of Ragna floating above their left shoulder "It's the devil". However, for the beings with good relations to Ragna, it's a useful tool that can be called upon to protect, evacuate and even provide for them. This ability is limited by the amount of soul Ragna has as he does not feed off of the souls that he protects, and it can also be controlled by the user, to some extent.

As stated earlier, Ragna can see, hear and interact through these vessels, but it does not mean he can at all times; he must be either called upon or control the vessels he wants to in order to use them. In other words, they are passive vessels until called upon or controlled.

#### Ragna's Cloak

##### Cloaking

Ragna's cloak can make the person inside of it invisible as it uses portals to pass light through itself, therefore looking like nothing is there. The outside of his cloak can only produce the illusion of the wearer's current position, and does not allow for teleportation or use of the pocket dimension.

##### Size Manipulation

Ragna's cloak can change size at will (using the portals), as it absorbs itself, which means Ragna can teleport himself when possessing the cloak. This does also make the cloak a "one size fits all", and is therefore convenient to every koipanion who may need quick transport, stealth or just some alone time.

##### Teleportation

Ragna's cloak can also be used to teleport to specific locations and people (with help from Nix's Talisman); sometimes you may be teleported to somewhere unintended, similar to when you get a replacement item from online shopping. This doesn't mean you can't try again until you get where you need to go, it only means you lose some small fraction of time.

##### The Pocket Dimension

The Cloak has a zipper on the inside of it that spans the entirety of itself, when activated by Ragna, the cloak can open a pocket dimension, about the size of a plot of land for a large 2 story house. Ragna can summon whatever he needs out of this pocket dimension by opening specific portals in his cloak.

## Koipanion Relationships

### Mai Kurosaka

Ragna both lives with and protects Mai. Their place of residence is the Okiya in Mai's Realm and as she is his Sponsor Koi, he has a closer connection to her than most. Mai is the only koi who can fully interact with Ragna due to his spiritual nature.

After first waking up in the Okiya, Mai being (to him) overly doting, reminds him of Ojou; which triggers his instinct to protect what was lost, but as their relationship grows and each of them get to know one another, Ragna sees Mai as her own individual and wants to protect her instead of the ghost of what once was.

As repayment for bringing him into the Koillective and blessing him with interactions he wouldn’t have had otherwise, Ragna enlisted Rosieanna - The resident alchemist of the Bettelion - to help him create a weapon in order for Mai to be able to further control and concentrate her power without having to use as much energy. This was thought up after he saw Mai almost collapse using her abilities, since he’d already felt indebted and didn’t want to see her faint again.

### Dieu Lien

Ragna works with Lien occasionally to collect information, or act upon info that she’s collected. They tend to meet at the Okiya as only Mai can telepathically call for Ragna so Lien contacts Mai first. This information extraction can take many different forms and Ragna's abilities are paramount for infiltration, stealth and extraction.

### Amaryllis

Ragna works for Amaryllis at the Moe Moe Koi, getting a job of goods transportation. This is either a morning or day shift; although there is a lot that can be made by the café itself, some goods must be imported; so Ragna goes to the produce, collects it in his pocket dimension and then takes it to the Moe Moe Koi and stores it. The day shift is delivery based, where a koi will order some items from the menu in advance and Ragna can take those items to the koi without the items being mishandled in any way.

### Nix Hamartia

Ragna was provided a talisman by this deity that increases the accuracy of his teleportation, and she was also involved in the Sponsorship of Ragna and Mai. A kind deity that seems to be very peaceful, as he has encountered her many times having tea peacefully at the Okiya.

### Wassa

Wassa busts down doors at the Okiya, promptly dealt with by Ragna, unless Mai or Nix say otherwise. He sometimes spars with Wassa, or helps in training koi for battle. When they spar it can sometimes be heard from the other side of Mai's realm; which is to say they aren't allowed to spar as often anymore.

### Yumi

Ragna helps out Yumi by being a useful means of transportation and protection; He finds the koi-bunny quite endearing to be around and values the unique perspective that she has. He also makes sure that her brother doesn't have to worry about her when she's in the Koillective, as Yumi's antics can get a bit out of hand sometimes, so Ragna can always make sure she has access to wherever she needs to hop off to.
