[ Contains spoilers for NDRV3 ]
This is the verse that will be used for canon timeline / killing game variation threads! So, anything that happens within the game – whether we keep it to its canon or make a variation of it? Will likely be tagged with this one! However, due to the newness of the game? I intend to leave this purposely vague for now. Once I’m satisfied that most people have played/watched the game? I shall update this a little more properly! But, basically speaking? If they’re within one of the “KILLING GAMES,” I shall be using this tag!
A despair-less verse of the nerds going to Hope’s Peak Academy, rather than the Academy for Gifted Inmates – somewhat based off “Talent Development Plan” extra, at the end of NDRV3. In this verse, he will be going to class with the other students from his game.
Recruited for his talent (which I do know, but I will not name for now - just to keep people from being spoiled! ) along with the others from his class, he is a very busy fella – a bit of a traveler, he often disappears from classes for weeks at a time. To the point of the class sort of just expecting that his attendance is going to be… spotty at best. He doesn’t always open up to people, leaving himself a bit of a mystery to most, but? He’s always willing to help out if asked, and does his best to be someone his class can rely on.
The newest reincarnation of “Rantaro”, this young phoenix has decided “new life, new start,” and only recently moved to Orsus – to the point of really not having met any of his neighbors yet, because he’s still busy unpacking all of the things he decided to bring along.
Having decided to move there suddenly, he’s not entirely used to the area yet – let alone the people he’s around. Being a phoenix, he’s “immortal.” Or, at the very least, his body is? Every time his body “restarts,” or bursts into flames and returns, they don’t keep their memories… This is part of the reason he left. Having witness the death of a member of his family, and then their rebirth? He couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness at the loss of this “stranger,” that his body somehow recognized, even if he didn’t – not willing to go through that again? He had to leave his family behind. This way, he could truthfully have a fresh start.
Rantaro, despite being a phoenix, has no control over fire. Instead – this incarnation’s powers have all been poured into his natural healing ability. Due to that, he’s begun working at the clinic on Orsus. ( He can, however, bring out his wings if he tries had enough. He can even turn entirely into his “bird-like” form. ) He has no visible tells, due to the rarity of his species.
