Raiden

Nie Asua (Previous name)

funnyman (by Dingoof)

Disaster 2.0 (by Thomas)

Dartz's Dungeon (now abandoned)

**Raiden** (previously known as *Nie*) was a member in Dartz's Dungeon. He had joined Soupeds;Cruise after being recruited by Souped in 2017. His presence in Soupeds;Cruise did not become fully apparent until 2018, where he had finally gained enough power to interact among the userbase. Although he did not play as big of a role in most arcs, he was still a fairly prominent member in large arcs like **Revenge of the Dartz** and the **Utopia-Dystopia** arcs.

### **Personality**

Raiden has had a diverse personality ever since his first appearance in 2017, no one word could really describe it. He started off fairly autistic and acted like a **sped**, usually not adding much to the conversation but still managing to be entertaining. His character in Soupeds;Cruise wouldn't really start to develop until he had gone through his personal arc elsewhere and decided to return to the cruise in 2018.

Raiden has typically had some of the highest sanity and IQ among the other crewmates, which usually leaves him to turmoil over some of the autism that takes place in Soupeds;Cruise. He has also been in assistance in some of the civil wars that have happened, and tends to input good points into conversations when needed.

Although typically reserved and sane, Raiden has adapted and learned that tapping into autism and smoothing the brain can make you stronger. This had led to Raiden making a semi-alliance with Dingoof, one of the known masters of destruction. This behavior had led Raiden to sometimes be referred to as the "funnyman", due to his ability to harness the emptiness of the brain on command and cause chaos.

Raiden has started to get PTSD from the evil, mind-flaying entity known as **Mudae**, ever since the first **Mudae Wars**. He has been involved in battles with Mudae many, many times and has become jaded more and more each battle. His victory in the first Mudae Wars of Soupeds;Cruise was not one without losses, due to the death of **Meow Meow** at the end of it. Ever since then, he has refused to take part in Mudae in any servers involving members from Soupeds;Cruise.

### **Appearance**

**Raiden** has gone through many different forms and appearances over the years he's spent on Soupeds;Cruise. Although too many to properly list out, they include but are not limited to:

* Hat Kid
* Subaru Natuski
* Starbomb Link
* Naofumi Iwatani
* Stella Hoshii
* Sakuta Azusagawa
* Koyomi Araragi

Considered to be his final form, he currently takes the appearance of **Shuichi Saihara** from **Danganronpa V3**, this is because he's stupidly obsessed with the character and franchise he comes from.

### Souped:

Souped is one of Raiden's closest friends within Soupeds;Cruise, and have supported each other in dire situations. During the **Maya Arc**, Souped was one of Raiden's closest allies and had helped him get over his losses and finish the battle. They have played many games together, such as **Dead by Daylight**, **Don't Starve Together,** and **Terraria.** There haven't been many clashes between the two due to their similar interests in gaming and anime, and Souped has even talked with Raiden's brothers, including **Victor, God of Death**.
