Rain Code Ship Week Day 4 - Memories

When your girlfriend dies so you end up falling in love with the guy that you asked to investigate her death. Now that’s bisexuality!

[cupideya1314]

Kurumi and Aiko

My Chapter 2 girlies <33

For the prompt: First Times / Final Moments

I'm not very good at doing comicsss but I had a vision for themmm #Spoilers . . . .

CW: Spoilers Ahead! and Graphic depiction of deceased

There was no note if i remember correctly but it's for the emotional impactttt So yeah, as much as I love the Aetheria poly ship, I do see them more as besties but Kurumi and Aiko? nah dawg they're girlfriends in my eyesssss I mean why Kurumi ain't there in the friend group hmmm (there's ofc explanations for this but let me have thisssss THEYRE GIRLFRIENDS I DONT CAREEE) So yeah, I thought Kurumi first met Aiko as this amazing actress in one of the plays and ends up being her classmate and became close friends! Kurumi's first impression is Aiko being so beautiful and confident in the play. She adores herrrr and sees her as this Heroine of their story then the tragedy hits... It's nice how much Kurumi cares for Aiko and really believed she wouldn't do such a thing and even took the risk of meeting a zombie Aiko. AAAAAA yeah, I just want that angst hahahah

[r0sie-bun]

Aiko!

[real-raincode-takes]

i feel like most of the hate karen gets is solely because of her name like yeah she killed aiko but you'd be hard pressed to find a fan of a kodaka IP that hates a murderer for just murdering. it was obviously a crime of passion that she regrets. it clearly haunts her, from the way yuma describes her. but what can she do at that point? confess? would you do that?

i don't even like her. i'm a hard neutral on her. i just think it's funny how i've seen people actively hate her when the girl didn't do anything especially cruel

Second place in the poll was the Aetheria Academy girls soooooo #7

Minor spoilers for Chapter 2

Starting off with Kurumi, she is a rookie spy following in the footsteps of her father who was also a spy. They work freelance so anyone can hire their services however steered clear of higher ups in the Amaterasu Alliance. Ever since her dad went missing she’s been on the search for him. She also attends this very prestigious academy called Aetheria Academy which is an all girls school. Here is where you learn to be a proper lady and the like. This school was originally for only nobles but some commoners have been admitted due to showing great promise.

In this school there is a very famous tradition of plays and this is where the girls attending this school get to shine and catch the attend of possible suitors. At the top is usually Aiko, Kurane, Waruna, Yoshiko, and Karen.

Unlike Kurumi, they are just normal noble school girls trying to aim for the top. However in a recent incident Aiko was expelled for “unladylike conduct” and “murder attempt” reported by Karen. No one dared challenge her on this claim because her father was a well known noble in the Amaterasu Alliance. Ever since then Kurane, Waruna, and Yoshiko have become distant seeing how Aiko seemed to be what held them together.

Kurumi, hearing her friend was expelled for such extreme allegations, decided to investigate this while using the skills her father taught her and skills she picked up trying to look for him. Little did she know an Elite Strike Force has infiltrated Alliance territory and was here to deal with a certain Martina

Ok so this took so long because honestly I thought I knew what I wanted to do with these girls but as I was typing this out I realized “oh shit no I don’t” and so I’m sorry to those who was waiting for something in depth and spectacular but got this instead and even this will likely change. If you got any ideas then I would love to hear them!

Atheria Academy: next character outfit sheet

[brightstarblogs]

RainCode Honorifics!

First let me preface this by saying I'm not Japanese so there may be a few mistakes in this post.

I haven't seen anyone else make a post on this so I figured I'd do it myself. I've always found honorifics interesting in Japanese media and often include them in my fics. RainCode is a little different however because all characters go by their first names instead of surnames which most Japanese media typically use (since most surnames are westernized/wacky). This interested me so I wanted to do a little research!

But yeah, if you want to use honorifics in your own fics or just find Japanese linguistics interesting, I hope you enjoy this post! It has taken me 3-4 months to compile this list.

Spoilers ahead!

Yuma: Typically Yuma uses -san when referring to other characters. However there are a few exceptions to this. Yuma uses -chan to refer to Shinigami (because she asked him too) and with Kurumi. He also changes to using -kun for Desuhiko after they arrive at Aetheria Academy in chapter 2/Gum shoe gab 2 to show they're friends (but this could be to reciprocate the fact Desuhiko changed from using Rookie to My man). He does not use any honorifics for the peacekeepers (Yomi, Martina, etc) to show he doesn't respect them and Makoto (Although he will use -san when talking to Makoto). He also doesn't use honorifics on Aiko, Karen, Waruna, Yoshiko and Kurane, although he does use -san when speaking to other students in the investigation.

Shinigami: She tends to not use any honorifics and instead uses nicknames. Most notably Akuma-chan for Halara (Hellara in the dub). When she does use a character's name it is with no honorific. I did notice she uses -dono in the gum shoe gabs when saying Yuma's bond with a character has deepened. -dono is often used in writing letters/emails, but also is used in a lot of fantasy media/JRPGs. Shinigami does reference Dragon Quest in the dub so perhaps this is just her being a nerd (Special thanks too @/rararazaquato for pointing this out). If you want to know more about the nicknames she gives the NDA in Japanese, please look at this post!

Halara: They use no honorifics for any character. The only time I heard them use one was in their DLC when they use -san for their client (They do not use Tetra's name though. They say Ojo-san).

Desuhiko: He also doesn't tend use honorifics. Unlike Halara though he uses nicknames. He refers to Fubuki as Ojou, which translates as Young lady/princess. He uses -chan for Shinigami and Kurumi but also when referring to female characters like Guillaume and NPCs where he'll say neko-chan. He also calls Yuma Rookie until they arrive at Aetheria Academy, where he changes to My man for the rest of the game.

Fubuki: Uses -san for every character.

Vivia: Uses -kun for most characters. He doesn't use honorifics for Yomi or Makoto, and uses -chan for Kurumi

Yakou: Like Halara and Desuhiko, Yakou tends not to use honorifics but there are a few exceptions. He uses -chan for Fubuki and Kurumi. He also calls Seth -sensei when he was trying to deescalate the situation in chapter 1. He uses -san for Tetra, so I think he uses honorifics with clients. I don't know for certain but that's my theory.

Kurumi: Now, Kurumi tends to use -san for most characters. She used -san with Yuma when they first meet, but switches to -chan when he is in disguise in the school to help blend in. She then uses -kun from chapter 3 onwards (and once in chapter 2 when she's held by a peacekeeper, but Yuma doesn't hear her). She doesn't use honorifics with Akio, Karen, Waruna, Yoshiko, Kurane and Shachi.

Makoto: He uses a variety of honorifics. He tends not to use any for Yuma, but also does say -kun. He also uses -kun for both Yomi and Martina/Suwaro. He also uses -chan for Kurumi.

Now onto minor characters where it gets a little difficult due to screen time.

Pucci: Uses -san for Zange so maybe uses -san for other cast members.

Melami: I didn't hear her use any honorifics as she doesn't refer to others by name and tends to use nicknames.

Zange: He didn't call any character by their name so I have no idea unfortunately.

Aphex: Used nicknames so again, I am not sure.

Zilch(?)/Hitman: In chapter 1 he uses -kun for both Yuma and Aphex. He did not address the rest of the cast by name so I have no idea if he'd use -san or -kun for Pucci or Melami. Even then I don't know if that was an act as he is an imposter. He uses -sama however for Yomi in chapter 5 when you find him as a zombie.

Martina: Fun fact, she is actually called Suwaro/Swallow in the Japanese sub! I don't know why her name is changed but this was a fun surprise. She uses -sama for both Yomi and Makoto. She doesn't use names for the NDA.

Swank: He didn't use any names, but I included him because like Martina, his name was changed. Originally he was called Spank in the Japanese sub.

Yomi: Only ever called Martina by her name with no honorific.

Seth: Like most peacekeepers he calls Yomi by -sama.

Guillaume: She tends to refer to Dominic by just his name, along with Shachi. She however does use -sama for Yomi like the other peacekeepers.

Priest: Uses -san for the clock-maker

Teacher: Although this is Desuhiko, in disguise he calls Kurumi by -san.

Yoshiko: No honorifics

Kurane: No honorifics

Waruna: No honorifics

Shachi: No honorifics

Iruka: Uses -san for Yuma but no honorifics for Shachi.

Servan: Doesn't use honorifics for other resistant members, but uses -kun for Yuma

Icardi: No honorifics

Margulaw: No honorifics

Ramen man: Uses -chan for Kurumi. Not sure what he'd use for other characters.

Enyne: Before she reveals her identity she uses -san for Desuhiko

Kurumi crying

Inspired by the game poster where she's seen crying which kinda haunted me a bit. Really shows the mystery of the game lols

I just made it more dramatic and spooky because-- why not? With all the supernatural stuff in the game it can lean towards horror if it really wants to 👁️👁️

I hope you like it heheh, had this piece in mind for months now. Hoping this isn't applying anything

[elysiandxyz]

Hey, it’s been awhile!

I just wanna drop by to give a Kurumi Wendy Redesign!

That’s it, thanks everyone<3

(I’ll most likely drop from the face of the Earth again until I do another Raincode themed drawing since I’m busy for a convention coming up and a personal event!)

Enjoy!!

📝 KURUMI REWRITE PLOTHOLE COVERS (feel free to discuss them or add more to them in the comments, and this was written during my dance rehearsals so they may not make sense)

Because of Kurumi’s high intelligence of being able to suspect others due to being knowledgeable about Kurane, Waruna, Yoshiko, and Karen, her reasoning is impressive. Not to mention how Kurumi is Kanai Ward’s informant. Already being an informant would be helpful for the only detective agency in the city.

- Being an informant and also in high school, I can age her up to be a senior (if she wasn’t already), being able to have an internship working under Yakou. This can block the plot hole of why Kurumi often doesn’t appear in classes after chapter 2. Being a senior also allows her to have open periods, to which she can use them to get out of school early. If she also works under Yakou as a “trainee”, she can have more of a deeper connection with the agency as a whole.

- If Kurumi is an intern as well, she usually makes appearances every now and then. Also being focused on school because of exams during the entirety of chapter one can be an excuse as to why she didn’t appear. She also could’ve been able to know how the master detectives are going to Kanai Ward and she would’ve been too shy to face them. Yuma can be the first one she can actually trust and not feel awkward around, since he is a trainee to her.

- This can be beneficial for Yuma, as he could see more about the culture and the city in general thanks to Kurumi. He can also learn from her and train with her.

- Instead of just being in theater club, I feel her being in relations with Theater tech would fit more. Maybe Aiko convinced her to at least be in a similar class to her so she wouldn’t be alone.

(If you want to draw her, Redesigned Kurumi has blonde highlights, I forgot to add them on the full body 😭)

BURSTS IN THRO THE WALL

got any raincode lgbtqia+ headcanons,,

AYO FIX MY DAMN WALL!!! honestly smh... that cost a lot y'know, ROLLS EYES /j

Anyway (I will absolutely forget some people, so if I forgot someone then I'M SORRY!!! Just assume they're gay, cause most people in this game are)

First of all I'm gonna start off with like sexuality headcanons, then afterwards we'll move onto gender ones

THE GAME IS JUST FULL OF BISEXUALS, LIKE DESUHIKO, MARTINA, YAKOU!! Yomi I can also see being bisexual except I also believe he is aromantic (or at least somewhere along those lines) since he said he doesn't love people

Yuma is pan, along with Halara and maybe Shinigami too (I mean did you see how her and fubuki got I'm just saying enemies to lovers arc??) I can also see Vivia except he'd be more on the asexual side of things, like romantically he loves any gender but he doesn't want anything further than that

The lesbians are Guillaume, Fubuki, literally all of Aetheria Academy except for Kurumi and Karen (I can only see those two as straight)

The gays are Seth and Zilch (or well the hitman anyway)

AND THEN THE AROACE KING HIMSELF WOULD BE MAKOTO!!!

Before moving onto gender, I would like to add that Waruna, Yoshiko, Aiko and Kurane were in a poly relationship.

In terms of gender, I haven't thought too much about it, though Halara is 100% non binary (and that's not even a headcanon)

I feel like Seth would be agender, probably with he/they/it pronouns kinda thing. The same can also be said for Makoto probably too.

I saw this post ages ago (I have no clue who made it though) but they said Yuma has all pronouns and is genderfluid AND I LOVE THAT IDEA!!!

Shinigami and Kurumi would be demi-girls, Guillaume would be a trans girl, Yomi just always gives me massive trans energy for some reason so I feel like he would be a trans guy

As for the rest I am not sure though (also this post is far too long I AM SO SORRY I LIKE TO RAMBLE!!!)

Chapter 2 Character Profile Descriptions

Yuma Kokohead A Trainee Detective with amnesia. His small build is unsuitable for physical confrontation. A lack of self-confidence results in a tendency to frequently complain. However, he posses a strong sense of justice and selflessly tries to help anyone in need.

Hhe solved the Nail Man Case, but once again took the culprit's life. Although disheartened by this, he found solace in saving a young boy's father from wrongful execution and began to understand why he chose to become a detective.

Halara Nightmare A Master Detective dispatched to the Nocturnal Detective Agency by the World Detective Organization. The sharp-witted and attractive detective has no specified gender. Halara is always cool under fire and has solved many difficult cases through precise judgement. Although Halara only believes in money, it's willingly spend on things deemed necessary.

Halara's Forte is Postcognition, the ability to see how a crime scene appeared at the time it was first discovered.

Desuhiko Thunderbolt A Master Detective dispatched to the Nocturnal Detective Agency by the World Detective Organization. His goal is to become famous as a mystery-solving superstar detective. He often refers to Trainee Detective Yuma as "rookie."

Desuhiko's Forte is Disguise, the ability to change his voice, appearance, and build, visually and mentally masquerading as the targeted person. The backpack he always carries is required to use this ability.

Seth Burroughs Section chief of the Amaterasu Corporation Peacekeepers Investigations team. A mumbling, unhealthy-looking man with a decidedly nervous demeanor. His words are polite, but any underling that makes a mistake is brutally rebuked. He habitually speaks through a megaphone to makeup for his feeble voice.

Yomi indicted him for colluding with the church and the Peacekeepers took him away.

Yomi Hellsmile The director of the Amaterasu Corporation Peacekeepers. Despite having the face of a handsome young ma, he is cold-hearted and cruel, finding joy in the misfortune of others, especially from miseries he devised himself. He holds great power within Amaterasu and treats his underlings like expendable tools.

Martina Electro The vice director of the Amaterasu Corporation Peacekeepers. A tall, elegant, intelligent, bespectacled woman who ruthlessly crushes the opposition and has no mercy for those who defy her. She's obedient only to Yomi.

Kurumi Wendy A student at Aetheria Academy. Hungry for knowledge, she seeks out anything she wants to know with unwavering tenacity. Thanks to her cheerful demeanor and excellent communication skills, she's quick to get along with people she meets. Having a lifelong fascination with detectives, she couldn't pass up an opportunity to talk with one and shadowed Yuma.

Yoshiko A member of the theater club at Aetheria Academy. A beauty whose maturity makes it difficult to think of her as a high school student. She's popular in the theater club and is on par with Waruna and Karen in terms of acting ability. Mild-mannered and quiet, she values the team more than the individual.

Waruna A member of the theater club at Aetheria Academy. She puts on the flashiest and trendiest makeup, which further accents her aggressive personality. Although she intimidates everyone around her, she has no desire to overshadow anyone. She genuinely enjoys acting and being on stage, innately capable of playing any role.

Kurane A member of the theater club at Aetheria Academy. She doesn't talk much and prefers to spend time alone. Because it's difficult for her to express her emotions, no one really knows what she's thinking. But her acting skills place her among the best in the club.

Karen A member of the theater club at Aetheria Academy. She has long, beautiful hair and the elegant aura typical of a lady. She's enthusiastic about acting, possessing a stoic philosophy about it. However, because of that, she tends to be uncooperative and rarely interacts with the other students.

After performing a scene where her character drank poison, she vomited blood and died.
