𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐞 . severely touched by the loss of many important figures in his life && horrible mistreatment, Scaramouche has always longed to recreate the peaceful life in Tatarasuna despite Niwa’s eventual betrayal.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 . this inspired Il Dottore to cather to the broken puppet’s desires && had started their experimentation journey. the seals binding Scaramouche’s core would be removed by the Doctor in an agreement of studying the husk in order to create the segments.
𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 . with the outerlayer of the husk made from the Leylines && existence of Makoto’s fragment within the core, dream-manipulation was a skill acquired with time && work. the Electro element, too, plays an important role in influencing the encoded Dendro.
𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡 . Shouki no Kami, was essentially made with similar materials like the puppet, with the exception of the Gnosis acting as the catalyst && Scaramouche’s own core being the conductor for the Electro && dream-matter.
𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 . the mechanism acts as the extension of the puppet’s body, with exceptions of having multiple foci to channel different elements at will. it is possible the foci are Delusions powered by remains of different, fallen gods.
𝐧𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐨 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 . it would also explain why Shouki no Kami have no access to the element of Geo in the canon verse —— the project itself wasn‘t finished && it is possible there are no festering remains of Geo gods in the world as Morax destroyed them fully && kept alive. or like Guizhong && the God of Salt —— they perished, leaving no anger behind.
𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 . the entry experiments included connecting individual, living subjects to Scaramouche’s conciousness. the conciousness of Scaramouche is a thunderous place of perpetual pain, trauma, everything that made him the bitter && horrifying person he is now. && while it was possible to gain access to his lives as Kuronushi && Kabukimono, as well as Kanna Kapatcir’s && Makoto’s fragments, Scaramouche is the master of the domain. he is the dominant fusion of negative emotions, memories && traumas, the barrier protecting && secluding everything from the true Magatama Plains.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐞 . while the testing continued, the subjects of different ages were submitted to the thundering conciousness. at that point, collection of dream-matter looked different —— what was extracted is known as Vitae ( substance is of cosmic origin and causing the living host to burst with energy. ) the Vitae was harvested either through opening in the brain, through sweat or blood of the victim.
𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 . despite the seals gone, some parts of the core refuse to initiate certain actions towards special individuals: children are mysteriously spared by the storm of conciousness && leave the connection unharmed by the Sixth Harbinger. it could may be connection with Kapatcir’s fragment cutting deeper than it lets itself know && successfully preventing in harm of children. no matter what, they receive dreams of blooming, pink Magatama Plains before coming back into the grip of the mad doctor.
𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐠𝐨 . Scaramouche’s personality is already aiming to take control withing his own core. this, however, quickly manifested in the connected victims. his traumas, memories && ego extending into the humans && corrupting them, breaking their minds. it in itself, was a great torture for Vitae && training for Scaramouche to mold one’s conciousness.
𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 . with Vitae phase over && finding how well the puppet deals with pain && unwanted guests, the idea for remote signal was created in order to connect to the psychological plain of conciousness attunded to Scaramouche. this way, there would be no more need for cables. only one device was needed to establish that connection —— the Akasha.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 . made by Il Dottore to be the source of influx of dream-matter && Tatarigami. they pump significant amount of these fluids directly into the pierced core && seperately into the Electro distribution system.
𝐝𝐚𝐤𝐚’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥 . an object made from metal conducting Electro && empowering it. made specifically to sustain Shouki no Kami’s limbs with power && allowing Scaramouche to use Electro as a connection to the machine, as their bloodveins.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 . the price of immense input would be the core —— the source of power for the puppet, to overload overtime && become unable to hold any energy by itself. this essentially would make Scaramouche bound to the machine forever until the core is replaced or repaired.
𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 . due to the energy overflow, the dream-matter affects his puppet self in the most expected way —— making him severely prone to sleeping. the connection to the Akasha Irminsul && controlling paranoid attitiude, would make him be weak && vunerable in the state of dreaming.
𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐭-𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 . starting with the Akasha corruption, Scaramouche would turn the pattern into an ume blossom pattern instead of leaf one —— signature look of the Akasha terminal.
𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 . one of main controllers destined into the hands of Scaramouche's most trusted individuals. these terminals look like a coiled branch of plum blossom && carry no physical alterations nor restrictions. used to directly contact Shouki no Kami.
𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 . whether Albedo, Xiao, Gorou or Kazuha are present within the verse, they have the power to influence the decisions && outcome of the verse. otherwise, the verse is considered a default one where Scaramouche aims to recreate his Tatarasuna life using his increased, divine power && status.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 . while his influence is severely limited to the Akasha, Shouki no Kami is in itself a beacon for the signal merging conciousness && a very mobile machine. wherever it would go, new minds will be connected: people's, creatures' && animals'.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 . exited physically upon walking into Sumeru. it's the true world where Shouki no Kami exists in the Sanctuary && gives out orders to the Sages, influences the geopolitical sphere && makes the decisions. he can only manifest using the terminals && only those who wear it, could see him walking around. like a ghost.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 . exiting once the subjects are deciding to join the shared conciousness. this plain leaves permament scarring, making people think Scaramouche was always their rightful guardian deity && this dream is his world given to them —— it is, whoever, multilayered. those who love him would be existing within the positive parts of the dream where the worship && wisdom continues while the others are subjected to the layer of fused traumas.
𝐈𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 . something that would happen only upon striking deal with Lesser Lord Kusanali. the appetite for dominion is never enough for a broken soul && Scaramouche would find himself wanting more && more. erasing Greater Lord Rukkadhevata's existence && Eleazar alongisde, would awaken the need to erase Nahida's own existence as well reducing her to a mere forest guardian spirit without any knowledge of her divinity.
𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 . in the verse with Albedo, Scaramouche would long for more && more ruling power. constantly testing Irminsul's limits by making himself stronger in the memories of others but preseving his own past selves at the same time. eventually, it would lead for him to write himself as the rightful Electro Archon && the Shogun of Inazuma.
