I am so ridiculously late with this.

I'm mostly stuck on outfits, although I'm also wondering if I shouldn't change up Raidou's weapons. In canon, he uses a katana and a revolver, and I'm wondering if the latter in particular might not be too old-fashioned. Which is also the problem I'm having with his outfit, since Raidou is very traditional and Rei is... not. His usual outfit looks like this.

His inner heart conflict will likely involve his devotion to his duties and allegiance to the clan, versus the taste of rebelliousness he's gotten as Rei - basically Law vs. Chaos. Raidou started his training young and seems to have mostly been isolated in Kuzunoha Village for the duration, so the Capital was essentially the first taste he got of modern (for 1931) life in the big city. Rei is much more worldly.

Raidou's demon/Persona is Paimon, who has shown up in a few Megaten games that are not Raidou's, and who looks like this in them. Paimon is noted for his loyalty to Lucifer, which is another conflict Raidou has; back home, Lucifer would really like Raidou to act against God/YHVH for him. Raidou does not think he would like to do this.
