Where is Sam Ichijouji?

[Lost Digi Girl]

Now, I can bet that 90% of you will think that I mean Ken's brother Sam, who was seen in flashbacks in Season 2.
Nope.
I mean the parallel of Ken that we met during LD, also from Earth Gamma like Jasmine.

A quick background on Parallel Sam.
-Non-digital life was mostly like Ken's, including his brother's death.
-No digital events, and definately no DE mode.
-During 2003, 'Season 3' occured, although he was not involved.
-Like Jasmine, he later began working at the DigiReal Station afterwards, investigating the digital events
-In spring 2004, he began receiving emails from Pirelli, although having no idea who she really was or from another world.
-On April 3, Pirelli, believing her email friend to be Ken's brother, played with her D-Terminal to bring him to the digital world. Since D-Terminals are NOT built for interdimensional travel, it made portions of his memories unclear to him(this was fixed when he returned. He traveled with the LD when they explored a new tower and half the group got caught by Daemon.
-A few days later, Jasmine appeared, also with fuzzy memories, and confirms parallelism is in the air.
-in July, the Isadora-Daemon incident also resulted in the appearance of a portal going back to Earth Gamma, so Jasmine and Sam return home.
-In november, the LD and AK visit them in their own dimension, but the triggering of Brandy and AJ's comas result in Jasmine leaving to help them investigate. Sam stays behind. ((The LD-AK eventually solve the problem and Jasmine goes home))
[glow=red,2,300]-On November 27, 2005, Jasmine and Sam are invited to a party held by Hidimon for Michelle, and HG occurs. Sam is captured while getting lost in Memory Canyon(since he's not DD, he wasn't affected)[/glow]

That's the LAST time anything is seen or known of Sam. So...what happened?
It's logical to guess he became a lackey. BUT, why did he never appear in DF? Since he never met Oikawa, he never had spore or DE experience, making him a little more useless than Ken, but he still can function as a lackey. So...did something happen to him?

And technically, last RPed event with Sam is him simply being in Memory Canyon. Not him captured, or seen as a lackey. It's logical to believe he was captured, and I believe that since Realemon never looked for him later on in HG, he probably was captured. But technical loose ends are always useful to keep an eye on.

SO, what are your thoughts on the matter. IN any case, we have a missing parallel, somewhere in a formerly fused dimension.

I thought parallels don't have the same family names as their counterparts. Is someone getting inconsistant?

Hey, out of all the parallels in existence, some pair is bound to surfice with the same name. ;D

Mayhaps he was captured, and after it was discovered he had no use other than lackey-ness, he was used to run small errands and such. While he was out...getting a cup of sugar, the entire final battle happened, leaving him very, very confused. =o

Or maybe there is some little detail I can't remember which makes that impossible. Consistancy isn't something I good at.

Okie, original mental train of thought when I was writing the Sam chapters of the LD story.
-First, I was still lost on the whole 'is Sam, ken's brother, realllly dead?", so I began introducing him as Pirelli's email friend.
-Then, i brought him here, and began wondering what to do with him if brother-sam is dead but email-sam isn't.
-I decided, why not make him parallel, but due to minor time changes or something, he has the name Sam instead of Ken.

THEN came jasmine. who at first wasn't even Jasmine-parallel. She was first just a disguise for Jenni(Based on Jasmine, the Steel Pokemon gym leader). Then I decided to make her appear, but still not as a parallel, more of a fictional digital ghost or something. THen I looked at Sam, and decided that I could just as easily make Jasmine a parallel too.

So, in the end, I hadn't planned out parallelism, and how they'd be named. If you had asked me before any of the Sam and Jasmine Chapters of the story, I'd have thought parallels were almost exact copies. LD proved that wrong, and DF continues the tombeish tradition of defining parallelism.

It is logical that he wouldn't be a major lackey(yeah, no real skills, no digi, no use). It is posible that he's in some random place, in any of the 4 fused worlds.
