What drew you to Ken Ichijouji as a kintype? Do you ID as him, or with him? What characteristics do you share?
I am Ken Ichijouji’s reincarnation in this universe. If I identified ‘with’ him, I would be fictionhearted, not fictionkin.
What ‘drew’ me to him, and caused me to awaken? Seeing the show for the first time caused an instant connection, the moment I saw him on screen. I didn’t watch Digimon, my brother watched it, but I happened to pass by it while Ken was on the screen in an early episode, and I had to sit down and watch.
I found myself coming back to watch each episode of the series, becoming less amused, and more horrified with each episode. I finally had to stop after the part where the Digimon Emperor had a villainous BSOD, because I found myself having nightmares, that would cause me to wake up screaming, or with tears on my face, clutching the air for someone who wasn’t there.
Ever since then I have had various recurring memories and flashbacks to my past life as Ken, often in response to things that happen to me in this life. I remember little snippets of my whole life, from when I was little to the day I died, in flashes and moments.
Some things about me from my last life that have lingered in this one:
-confused morality and desire to be a ‘cool villain’ when I was young
-difficulty making evil choices in video games in case I am hurting some ‘real’
-fear of cars and car accidents/being run over
-overachiever as young student/convinced I am a genius
-alternating superiority complex and feelings of guilt/worthlessness
-loves noodles
-bi as heck
-love sweaters/sweatervests
-flair for the dramatic and love of bad puns
-often overly polite/formal in casual situations
I could go on.
