Ryder Aijou is the creative director and animator behind the Call of Duty bratlore project, a fan-made animation series that blends fanmade work with official characters from the Call of Duty: MW2 universe.

​

• Creative role: Ryder Aijou handles the direction, animation, leading the writing, audio engineering, and video editing for the series. The project has its own dedicated Instagram and YouTube accounts, @bratlore_official and @RyderAijouOfficial, respectively, for distributing content.

• Characters: Aijou incorporates existing Call of Duty characters, alongside original characters like Brat and Demon Hound. The series has featured a lineup of powerhouse voice actors, half of whom voice characters in the actual Call of Duty games.

• Production: The project uses MMD (MikuMikuDance) animation software, which gives it a distinct fan-made aesthetic. Aijou has also promoted the work of other artists and her own commission work on social media.

• Distribution: Aijou releases episodes of the Bratlore series on its official YouTube channel, with Episode 4 announced in late 2024, and Episode 5 in production. This project showcases the depth and creativity of online fan communities, particularly among fellow Call of Duty fans, who are creating "lore" around cultural phenomena.
