Rakumou-lesan sounds a lot like my interpretation of Teeth in his motivation (read SCP-2417 to see what I mean), as do the Koru-tesa force in general
However smth interesting: The Koru-tesa are referred to as acsended mortals, so the seven of them used to be human. This is interesting to me bc of my version of Teeth’s body double, Canine; Canine is a normal human, but she’s implied that she won’t stay that way. Teeth is almost certainly planning to Ascend™ Canine when she’s ready (again: “when I’m ready, [DATA EXPUNGED]”). Ortothanist theology is thus Hm Interesting if you take into account my Teeth. Given Canine, Teeth is probably capable and willing to ascend humans to godhood, and the huge similarity between Ortothan theology and Teeth’s ideology isn’t to be ignored either (and here I mention that when I came up with Teeth’s ideology I did not know Ortothanism existed so this was somewhat of a coincidence)
What I’m getting at here is that Teeth aided with the ascension the original seven Koru-tesa, long before the Foundation, probably even when they’d just decided to start containing things
The fates the other six Koru-tesa met would have scared Teeth into working in solitude for a long time afterward. This is why they didn’t approach any anomalous organizations until the Forbidden City Convention in 1500, which was too big for them to miss, and was probably the nail in the coffin for their consant slight fear that they’d hurt those they tried to protect
This can give me so much extra ground to develop their relationship with Canine, too, I think this is a damn goldmine actually
