Because I needed an 'adult' character for a role in Mortal Gods that the canon smtv cast couldn't fulfil, and after some brainstorming decided, hey, this is smt, it is my fic, so why not bring some dsrk love into this too? Honestly, Rin needed someone like Raidou in his corner, like Naoki did, so i decided to craft the best damn Raidou OC i could.

It's.... kind of gotten out of hand tho. I have three word docs dedicated solely to Shun'ya and Atsuo's backstories and relationships and little fic snippets that i may or may not post (Raidou OCs are. very niche. I think like only me and three ppl would read 'em lmao)

So yeah, I hope y'all enjoy my Raidou OC! He was a lot of fun to design and has a very important role in the story! Thank you for the question!
