Dinach Meutro

The following are taken from Order's personal files.

I, Order, have found some rather curious people. Each is unique, special in their own way. And yet, they all share a certain 'factor'. A 'factor' that enables them to be a cut above the rest. I doubt even they themselves know, but I do. If only I can get my hands on all of them, then maybe, just maybe, I too can take a share on this 'factor'.

Name: June Fault (f)
Age: 24
Ht/Wt: 170cm, 53kg
Descript: June Fault. Just the mere mention of her name is enough to send chills down even the bravest man's spine. Well known for her ruthlessness in combat, and even more so for her lack of sympathy, June is the best at what she does.

I have started to become aware of her 'factor' when she was a mere child. Not wanting to act rashly, I contented myself to observing her from afar. But, after a certain chain of unfortunate events, June has somehow found her way into my doorstep. Such luck, you might say. I immediately took her in, and treated her like my own flesh and blood. It has been over a decade since, and her loyalty remains with me. Perfect.

Name: Victor Agus (m)
Age: 52
Ht/Wt: 185cm, 75kg
Descript: Victor Agus is a former member of Draconia's famous shock troops, known far and wide by their enemies as the 'Red Reapers'. A misunderstanding between Victor and an influetial high-born led, not only to Victor's expulsion from the Reapers, but to his entire family's indefinite exile from Draconia. To further punish him, his family was sent to neighbouring Aikon while he was shipped off, along with deportees and illegal immigrants south, to the other side of the world. Straight to the island nation of Gairin. Straight to me.

What is curious about Victor is that, unlike the rest of the subjects, he appears to have only recently acquired his 'factor'. Where? How? I have yet the answers. Regardless, I have convinced him to join me, to serve under me, after promising to find his family. Too easy, I must say.

Name: Alter Skyfall (m)
Age: 19
Ht/Wt: 166cm, 56kg
Descript: Alter is a member of the House Skyfall, a once great clan whose domain encompassed the entirety of East and West Zakhran. The Zakhran Fracture, a war waged by all the other clans against Skyfall, put an end to their centuries-spanning dominion. Now, Skyfall is but a relic of the past. It's remaining members hiding in the shadows; weak, and afraid. Except Alter.

Thanks to the 'factor', Alter gained more than enough power to challenge entire clans in single combat. But in exchange for this, the 'factor' slowly siphoned his humanity away. I decided that it was best if that were not to happen, and so sent June and Victor to apprehend him. After which, I offered him a way out. Using my superior intellect, I have concocted a serum that will neutralise his 'factor'. Of course, I made sure it was temporary, to make him dependent on me. The plan worked out so far, and now I have three of them in my grasp.

Recent events pertaining the Grimmault clan's capture by the Archenon led me to believe that their youngest members, the twins of Kallen and Miyo, possess the 'factor'. I have yet to be certain, but it seems promising enough. I will have to set off into the field to acquire more information.

Name: Mikallen "Allen" Grimmault (m)
Age: 13
Ht/Wt: 147cm, 42kg
Descript: Allen is a mystery. His ability to gather large amounts of energy and mould it into an animate being might just be bestowed upon him by the 'factor'. But other than that, he appears to be an ordinary boy. If anything, he's a complete weakling; hiding behind his sister's back at the slightest rustle in the darkness. There might be more to him than just this, so I continue my observation.

Name: Mikailya "Ilya" Grimmault
Age: 13
Ht/Wt: 150cm, 40kg
Descript: If Allen was a mystery, then I do not know what to call Ilya. For her, I have no doubt that her ability is the work of the 'factor'. It was her ability, after all, that allowed her and her brother to escape from the Archenon. Ilya can perform any technique, cast any spell, just by seeing it being used at least once. Interesting, I say.

But there seems to be a missing piece. Her ability, extraodinary as it may be, can not possibly explain her impeccable reflexes; her strikes always hit, and her dodges never fail. And during their escape, it almost seemed like she knew exactly where to go. She avoided every single trap and ambush prepared by the Archenon. She even knew exactly which paths each of their hunters' would take, laying her own traps there, and completely annihilating all their pursuers. Could it be coincidence? Just a lucky roll of the dice? Or is it the 'factor's doing? I have to find out.

(00)> The title, 'Dinach Meutro', is actually completely irrelevant to the story. It is a bastardised version of the phrase: "Di' na ko mo-utro", which means "I shall not repeat". Basically, that's just me trying to make sure I don't up and dump this project to start another one on a whim; a loop I have been stuck in since way back after I released Lyra.

(01)> June Fault, Victor Agus, and Alter Skyfall are all based on characters from a previous project nicknamed 'proj_lib'. These were: Setymbre Sala, Winston Rush, and Chen Jirein. Their names are actually just me playing with the originals.

-> Setymbre, is June + 3 months (September); Sala, in our tongue means either 'Sin' or 'Fault', depending on usage.

-> Winston - 'ston' == Win, Win == Victor(y); Agus means 'flow', and to an extent, 'rushing' water.

-> Alter is Chen Ji (change); Rein => Rain, and rain 'falls' from the 'sky'.

(02)> Mikallen and Mikailya, on the other hand, are based on characters from another project nicknamed 'proj_ily'. They were Len and Ilya. The 'Mika' part of their names came from a fusion of their parents' names: 'Miyo' + 'Kallen' == 'Mika'.

(03)> Parts of the story are based on yet another project of mine, nicknamed 'proj_ftm'. 'proj_ftm' is an rpg set in a post-war period where mage-clans of conflicting views... threw fireballs and what-have-yous at each other because... their views conflicted. 'Mages' in this world are not like the usual mages common in rpgs. See in 'proj_ftm', two worlds coexisted parallel to each other. One was of the humans, and the other was of the so-called 'monsters'. Mages were humans capable of creating bridges between the human world, and the monsters' world. Simply put, one group of mages want to monopolise the bridges, and utilise the monsters as inexpensive slaves; while the other group is against such an immoral act. And so they fight.

-> The 'Archenon' subjugating the 'Grimmault' is (almost) a word-for-word transfer of 'proj_ftm's 'Wyvern' (against slavery) being exterminated by 'Alphonse'(with slavery).

-> June's group hunting down the last living members of Grimmault is based on 'Raiser Alphonse', 'Irina Alphonse', 'Akise Eutho' and 'Yuno' hunting down 'Beryl Wyvern' and 'Reina Wyvern'.

-> The elite division 'Red Reapers' is based on 'Celestial Wings', a group of weird, but terrifyingly effective mercenaries modelled after power rangers. It's members are: 'Seraph (koo-koo) Red', 'Cherub (oh shite) Yellow', 'Archangel (tsun-tsun) Blue', and 'Jazz (the jazz-o-mancer) Black'

(04)> 'Tango' is actually a fusion of three towns 'Sarsuela', 'Alicia' and 'Tallenburg', all from previous projects of mine. It's name is not actually from the dance, but from a word that means 'stupid' or 'idiot' (this word, and this may sound strange, is not actually used as a negative. Rather, its usually the remark one recieves when they make a sarcastic joke or statement). That word, though, is pronounced as 'Ta-ngo' and not 'Tang-go'.

(05)> If you haven't noticed yet, all my projects are given working 'nicknames'. These nicknames are formed using: 'proj_' + three letters relating to the game. 'proj_lib' is 'project liberty' (not related to Liberty at all). 'proj_ily' is 'project ilya' (who is the protag of the game). 'proj_ftm' is 'project fight (of) the mages' (lame, I know).
Dinach Meutro is 'proj_fml', or: 'project formula'. What does that mean? Who knows! I know I don't ;)

(06)> If you have VXA, I implore you to look into my Random Rambles in KS Misc Notes (in the Script Editor).

(07)> I am actually a choco ukulele WHO PUT THIS HERE??
