authnotes This bit originally came to me in a rush after doing a -lot- of thinking about Schatten. I realized that I needed to know more about him, for the fic that I may write and also for the benefit of the WK RPG group that I am involved in. And so, I wrote this, just letting the words flow. It's a bit of a strange concept, I know... The combination of the trans-dimensional counterpart issue, and the reflections.... But, I like it. I'm sticking with it.

One of the weirder things is, the characters look exactly the same as the Weiss characters.... except they have different names and things. Awfully confusing, I think... yeesh. -_-;;

In case anyone was wondering, here's a bit more on the.... er.. reflected characters. More than was given in the actual fic, any way.

(Weiss)

Schatten:
Schuldich's trans-dimensional counterpart. He is pretty much the exact opposite of Schu personality wise, but if you just looked at him you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. He used his power of telepathy to find a way to get into Ran's dreams through the windows between dimensions (if anyone would like more information about the windows, as I haven't described them exactly, you can e-mail me at yumenomiko@chalktv.com and I will try to explain), and is a sort of... Shadow-lover to him, appearing only in his dreams. Schatten did this because he missed his ex-lover, a different Ran, who now goes by the name of Ai. He usually doesn't use his telepathy unless he's either on a mission or speaking to Ran (either of the two Rans, that is. o_O;;;)

Julian Parker:
Brad's trans-dimensional counterpart. His power of precognition is a bit stronger than Brad's, in the sense that he can see farther into the future. However, often the paths of the future are twisted and confused, so it doesn't help much most of the time.

Danny Anderson:
Farfarello's trans-dimensional counterpart, and his exact opposite in almost every way possible. While Farfie is a psycho, Danny is quite sane. Farf is one sick puppy, Danny... well... isn't. Farf enjoys "hurting god", and Danny is a loyal, church-going Christian (-_-; Gods, I hope I won't ever have to write anything with him in it. That'd be -really- hard.... *sweatdrops*). However, he is a -bit- similar to Farf, in that he likes blades. Very much so. However, he isn't as... er.. enthusiastic about them as our Farfie is. o.O;

Yukito Yuuago:
Nagi's trans-dimensional counterpart. Not surprisingly, most of the time he is more like Omi than Nagi, yet has Nagi's twitchy-cool telekinetic-type powers. He's genki, he's sweet, and he's just all-around squishy. Of course, he -can- be serious... at times.... If he really has to... Er... Maybe.

Schwarz:

Ran/Ai Nakahara:
Ran is (of course) the trans-dimensional counterpart of _our_ Ran. However, he's pretty much... insane. He was once part of Weiss, but after the death of his sister he went crazy with grief and blamed her death on the members of Weiss. He vowed to kill his former teammates, and joined Schwarz. Very little remains of what he once was, if any, and basically he's just one dark, sadistic freak who hungers for revenge. Schatten, his former sweetheart, had tried to change him back to the person he once was more than once, and each time he tried, well... Let's just say things didn't turn out well for Schatten, and after the third strike, he gave up- which was quite lucky for him, because a fourth strike could very well have done him in.

Shigeru Ochida:
Yohji's trans-dimensional counterpart. Not only is he a total, complete slut, but he's a sadist, too. Try to picture Yohji gone wrong (and I mean, -really- wrong), and you'll probably picture Shigeru.

Kojiro Hinouka:
Ken's trans-dimensional counterpart. He's a bit crazy, and a bit like Farf, but not so insane that he looses his head. However, he seems to have an obsession with cutting things up... especially living, breathing things. Yet, he's oh-so-gentlemanly about it, sweet and polite about it, serenading his victims as he drives his knives into their flesh....

Kenji Kotajima:
Omi's trans-dimensional counterpart. Much in the way Yuuago is like Omi, Kenji is like Nagi. Quiet, reserved... and intensely creepy. He never speaks above a whisper, and his eyes are nearly black in colour (he's the only one with anything different in physical appearance). Usually, he is silent, only speaking when it is necessary. Silent, but incredibly deadly...

Ah, that's all for now. -_-; Urk.
