Headcanon: Kaineus and Raylan
The following was established by frommaidentowarrior's Mun in messages with me the Mun about their Muse:
Kaineus is a chill sort of guy.
Kaineus is a former warrior and invulnerable (assuming this is at the time of the AP verse, which we’re going to say is around 2259 or Raylan’s 33rd-34th year, basing ourselves on the just-begun Raylan meets Kaineus story as listed on this blog’s AUs and Threads page).
Kaineus’ invulnerable particularity is discovered while he protects Raylan from a clandestine shooter in the Market District. Why are they both there? Each are shopping on their own at the beginning of “Raylan meets Kaineus”. Kaineus is angry that his secret was discovered; there will be an attempt to convince Raylan not to reveal it.
Kaineus’ profession: swimming instructor to children at a fancy club, and assisting a friend in a bar/cafe once or twice a week.
The following was clarified by me the Mun with regards to the question of whether Raylan likes to go out and shop by himself, and whether he lets others do the shopping for him:
Raylan does go out and shop by himself. It’s not a question of whether or not he likes it; it’s more of an affirmation that he does it. However, Raylan is a selective shopper; he shops the bare necessities. He takes care of his own business, so he wont let others do that kind of shopping for him. He doesn’t shop for the fun of it, true; he shops for the need of it, being a practical man. Besides, when he meets Kaineus, he’s produce shopping; something that a man who lives on his own would do (which in the “Kaineus meets Raylan” story is true of Raylan; remember the whole ‘jumping around in Raylan’s timeline’ thing that this blog tends to do).
Again, Raylan’s pretty independent; oftentimes he wont let others do things for him. Shopping for what he needs doesn’t normally take him much time, it all comes from that same thing of him being practical. He knows what he needs, after all; and pretty much knows where to get it. Being independent for Raylan also means being self-sufficient and organized, so as busy as his life is with work as a Deputy A.P. Marshal, he will find time to shop for, again, what he needs. He’s old-fashioned, so he wont turn to technology for much, less likely to a bot/android for shopping. As for hiring someone, he only has himself to take care of, so he’s not in need of hiring someone to do things that he himself does anyway.
In the “Raylan meets Kaineus” story/thread referenced above, the year is mentioned, just so that we have more of a solid reason why someone would want to take Raylan out. During this period, Data Jim (his stories are also up in this blog’s AUs and Threads page), an NPC in Arai Prime, has escaped the A.P. Marshals about a year or so before on January 2258, and would be at large as a fugitive for the next five-plus years of Raylan’s life. By the time that the “Raylan meets Kaineus” thread takes place, Data Jim has already hired someone to take out the Marshals one by one, and Raylan’s on that list (unbeknownst to Raylan himself of course).
