In Ishgria, there were two demon brothers. One day, the brothers fought each other. When they fought, the older brother sealed away half of the younger brother's power. It was said that the battle caused a great destruction in Ishgria.
"I am Karon, the Heresy Demon."
"Do you have any siblings? ...it doesn't matter. I'll help you, outsider."
The brothers then agreed to reconcile, but then the older brother sealed the younger brother's power into countless crystals shards. Afterwards, the older brother then scattered the crystals shards around Ishgria, effectively "eliminating" his own little brother.
The younger brother was left alone, almost powerless. Resenting his older brother, he set off on a journey to find the crystals that hold his power. As he grew stronger after he uncovered some of said crystals, though, he started to question himself about his feelings towards his older brother. Even so, he kept exploring region after region in Ishgria to uncovered his imprisoned power.
As time passed, the younger brother's power had far exceeded the original limits of his power. It is believed the deeds he had to undertake throughout his journey to find the crystal shards holding his power only served to make him even stronger than before. However, having lost any interest in fighting his older brother yet again, the younger brother sought to leave Ishgria behind. Afterwards, his whereabouts was unknown until a certain Summoner called upon his spirit into the battle...
The older brother lived long enough to see Karna Masta descended into Ishgria and causing a great chaos to the land. After the Demon Lords of Ishgria, including the older brother, sealed Karna Masta away in Menon, he wandered around to protect the seals.When a certain Summoner started to destroy the seal, the older brother, who is known as the protector of the seals, also began his move to halt that Summoner from destroying the seals. He met the Summoner for the first time in Zamburg, where Summoner needs to beat him before they proceed to destroy Am Yunos' seal.
The second encounter with this certain Summoner happens in Fal Nerga. It is also hinted that the older brother met Lugina shortly before the Summoner enters the cave to destroy the seal in Fal Nerga. After Summoner and Lugina beat him, he flees, saying that he will see them soon in Menon.
In Menon, the older brother tells the Summoner to leave because they have freed Tilith, and thus, finished their mission. After he heard the answer, he said that he will wait inside the region. When Summoner meets the older brother in Padam (Thunder Area), the older brother remarks that Summoner has defeated Ark. Tilith boasts that Summoner defeated Ark alone, which leads to the statement that the older brother wants to test the power of the Summoner in a duel. When the Summoner defeated the older brother, he finally reveals various informations about Iria, along with a message Iria wanted to tell Ark.As he reveals these information, the older brother also reveals that he used to be just like the other demon lords of Ishgria, who only cared for power and nothing else. He also said that he even "eliminated" his own little brother in order to gain more power. It seemed that he regretted his action, sealing away his younger brother's power inside the crystal shards and scattered those shards around Ishgria.
"In order to gain more power, I even banished my own little brother..."
When the Summoner and their party moves deeper to the area, the older brother looks at their back and whispers that he finally could drop his current role as the protector of the seals. He also said that he finally can talk with his little brother after long time...
"Aaron... It seems that I can finally talk to you after a long time."
There was a land where the Gods live somewhere in Grand Gaia. The
native called it "The Land of Gods". This land is protected by some
humans entitled "Guardians". At the time when the story began, there
were 12 people, men and women, protecting the said land, and they are
known as 12 Guardians of the Gods.
The Guardians of the Gods was led by Sodis, an affectionate man
who wields a great power. His right-hand man was Zephyr, a magician
whose power was said to rival Sodis himself. Sodis' brother, Alyut, also
joined the Guardians along with Lunaris, the brothers' childhood
friend. Raydn, Alyut's close friend, also joined the Guardians following
Alyut.
There was a little girl who grew up alone in the freezing
mountains. Sodis then took her and let her to join the Guardians. That
little girl later grew to a wild young woman, Signas. Signas shares
rivalry relationship with fellow Guardian, Ophelia. Ophelia was infamous
for writing a diary that told us about the relationship between the
guardians. Ophelia came from a small remote nation. Having lived up to
the expectations people held of her in her village of becoming a perfect
warrior, it is said she avoided getting involved with others. Despite
this, everyone admired her outstanding swordsmanship.
There were 2 people who were in love with each other. They are
Farlon and Ramna. Farlon was abandoned by his family after his single
defeat in a colosseum, and Ramna was the person who warmed his heart. He
treated Sodis as his rival, and held a strong ill-will to the leader.
Ramna was a cheerful young woman, who was loved by all other members.
Not even the self-centered Farlon could refuse her wish.
The Guardians had a marksman whose origin was from another world.
His name was Grybe. Though his appearance frightened many, Sodis
admired his kindness and strength and invited him into the Guardians.
Though many opposed his entry, Sodis went along and appointed him
anyway. The priests also opposed allowing a foreigner into the land of
the gods for a long time. Even so, Sodis took Grybe and appointed him as
a member of Guardians. There was also a girl wielded a spear. Honest
and serious, Rina's faith to the Gods was very strong and unshakeable.
Sodis often told her to relax for a while.
Luly was the youngest member of the Guardians. Born with great
magical powers, her parents, who wanted her to use them justly, left her
to the care of a priest. She grew as a strong girl with unstable mental
health, and it made her often lectured by "Mama Lunaris". Luly was the
descendant of a family that bolstered their power in order to attract
suitable marriage partners to carry its bloodline. It was also said that
the family chose their marriage partner very carefully in order to make a "high quality" offspring.
***
One day, Sodis found out about the Gods' plan to eradicate all of the
humans, and he disappeared, escaped from the Guardians without any
words to his subordinates. The Gods' labeled this as "rebellion" and
ordered the rest of the Guardians to chase Sodis and some others who had
joined him...
When Sodis left the headquarters, Signas followed him without
speaking many words, because she trusted Sodis more than anyone of the
Guardians. Luly then offered her help quickly because she thought that
it was fun to do. Later on, some other Guardians were sent to chase
them: Zephyr, Grybe, Ramna, and Farlon. Zephyr joined Sodis shortly
before Grybe and Ramna came. Sodis then beat Farlon because the latter
challenged him to a duel first. After he made Farlon fell unconscious,
Sodis told the rest of the chasers about his reason to betray the
Guardians. After listened to his reasoning, Ramna and Grybe then joined
Sodis' side (Ramna had to take Farlon back to headquarters first before
went to the rebels' side, though). Zehyr then left Sodis' side to
collect more information about the Gods' plan.
After Sodis' betrayal, Alyut was appointed as the new leader and
charged with the duty to vanquish the traitors, with Lunaris, Rina,
Raydn, and Ophelia. Farlon later joined with the intention to kill
Sodis. It seems that Ramna's betrayal had push Farlon's sanity to the
edge. Alyut and Lunaris, meanwhile, still coudn't believe that Sodis
betrayed them. It was said that Alyut was VERY angry that he volunteered
himself to track down and defeat his brother, as he felt betrayed by
his close brother. Raydn joined the squad too. Though he held much doubt
in his heart, he couldn't help but assist his dear friend. Rina joined
because "that was the Gods' wish", and Ophelia joined to face Signas
once again.
When the chasers met the rebels, the battle between them was
inevitable. Ophelia was engaged in a battle with Signas, but then Grybe
prevented the worst case between them. After Ophelia listened to Signas
(and Grybe)'s reasoning, she left to find the truth by herself, but then
a disciple (Merodo?) killed her. In her last moment, Ophelia realized
the whole plan of the Gods, but it was too late, as she finally fell,
never to be awakened anymore.
Farlon, meanwhile, aimed directly to Sodis, but Ramna shielded
the latter, and got stabbed by her lover's sword. Right before she
closed her eyes forever, she whispered to Farlon that she loved him no
matter what, and asked him to stay the same, as the Farlon she loved.
This was the final trigger for Farlon's downfall, as he went mad shortly
after that.
Right after Farlon killed Ramna, Luly approached the despairing
swordman and mocked him, which led to her death as Farlon decapitated
her. After he killed Luly, he quickly approached to Signas, Grybe, and
Rina. He didn't care who was his target anymore, as the madness driven
him, breaking his sanity. He almost killed Signas, but Signas somehow
managed to avoid his attack, with her right eye as the cost. Rina then
threw herself between Signas and Farlon, and she received Farlon's stab
that almost divided her body in half, effectively killed her.
Grybe then rushed to Farlon, after he shot the sky with his
cannon beam to divert his friends' attention. At first, Grybe didn't
want to point his cannon to his comrades, but Farlon had killed Luly and
Rina, and almost killed Signas. He had to stop Farlon, no matter what.
He finally pointed his cannon to Farlon, and pierce through the latter's
body. But Farlon managed to pierce Grybe's body with his sword, leaving
a fatal wound that brought him to his doom. Signas, the only survivor
from Farlon's downfall, then rushed to Sodis.
As the chasers met the rebels, Alyut confronted Sodis into a
duel. As they clashed, Sodis tried to reason with his dear little
brother. But during the fight, the disciple who killed Ophelia
controlled Alyut, then attacked Lunaris to divert Sodis' attention. When
Sodis blocked the attack, Alyut stabbed Sodis with his sword.
As Sodis died, his soul was left in a severely damaged state
after losing his life during the battle with his brother. Regret, of not
relying on his comrades and losing everything as a result. Regret, of
having betrayed the expectations of the woman who had cared for him.
Regret, for having taken away his brother's future. Hatred, toward the
gods. All these emotions spiralled into a chaotic vortex which shattered
his soul, giving life to a new ascended form. His cries and
determination was one that surpassed time and space, reaching out to his
friend in the future, all the while carrying the burden of his regrets
and sadness, but not looking back at the nostalgic past.
Alyut, shocked and saddened by Sodis' death, finally realized
that his brother was right all along, and he decided to inherit Sodis'
will. Raydn was always beside him, never left his side. As they fought
the Gods, Lunaris was taken by as hostage. Alyut and Raydn chased them,
with Raydn separating himself midway to make way for Alyut, but then the
Gods attacked Alyut, and he fell while lamenting his own foolishness,
as those peaceful days of yore would never return. Hearing Alyut's cry,
Raydn gave up and received the Gods' attack that took his life.
As Signas came, she witnessed Sodis' death. That was when she
decided to erase her traces from the history. Afterwards, she began
training a secret resistance against the gods. No one knows what became
of her afterwards, but some legends claim that she volunteered to take
care of the children who had fled from the wrath of the gods, earning
her a reputation as the "One-Eyed Swordswoman".
After Signas gone to erase her name from the history, another
member of the Guardians came, only to see the corpses of his comrades.
When Zephyr found out that it was all over, he cursed his incompetency.
In his despair, he was prepared to follow his comrades and friends'
fates by charging into the gods, when he heard a voice in the back of
his head. It was, without a doubt, the spirit of Sodis' voice, talking
to him. After hearing the voice, he let out a bitter laugh, saying "You
overwork me even after you die, don't you..." and, just like Signas, he
began erasing all evidence of his own existence and he continue living
by bearing the family name he once hated, protecting the result of his
research that he summed up in a journal, and he swore that he would pass
his will, along with the truth behind the gods, to the next generation.
***
Later on, Two Summoners (or three?) entered to Grand Gaia through
the Gate, and they found the remnants of a certain journal written by "Akras Z. Muezel".
Those Summoners then explored the land to collect the other remnants
and brought it back to Elgaia so they could investigate it further.
Within the journal, they found the truth behind the Great War. Those
Summoners then decided that they would inherit the will of "Akras", then
they established the organization of Summoners in Elgaia, called Akras'
Summoners' Hall.
Shortly after the Summoner Hall was established, some
potential members joined. The Summoners’ Hall led by 3 Summoners of Old
at that time : Owen, Grahdens, and Warlon.
Some
time after that, a former soldier from Randall Empire joined the
Summoner Hall after he saw Owen’s fierce battle. And thus, Griff left the army and joined the Summoner Hall.
The captain of the expedition team and the captain of the Fourth Division, Griff. At the time, rather than act on the front lines, he was training the newer summoners at the Hall.
- Grahdens -
Griff
got promoted into a division captain, namely the Fourth Division, which
means that he was only second to Elder Summoners. In the field, Griff
often acted like a father figure for his juniors, including scolding his
comrades while they are arguing.
There was also a woman who once
worked as a civil official in Randall, and she joined the Summoners’
Hall after she proved that she was not a spy from Elgaia. She was soon
promoted to be the captain of Fifth Division of the Demon Slayers.
Captain of the Fifth Division, Iris. A huge portion of our information on Grand Gaia was compiled thanks to her.
- Grahdens -
Some
time after the Summoners’ Hall established, they sent some of their
members to explore Grand Gaia. Griff went to Agni and it was said that
the red armour he wore was from the that Empire. Iris, meanwhile,
no one knew where she went, but some said that she explored what left
of The Land of Gods, and she learned about The Great War there.
Additionally, it was also said that she preferred to summon the spirit
of those calles 12 Guardians of Gods.
The captain of Sixth Division, Kafka,
was once a magic researcher in Randall. She was a descendant of
magicians, and she managed to decrypted an ancient magical script
discovered in Grand Gaia, bringing a lot of lost knowledge back to life.
Captain of the Sixth Division, Kafka. Highly skilled in magic, she even brought an ancient magic back to life. Even though her personality was a little strange.
- Grahdens -
She
was sent to Bariura during the exploration of Grand Gaia. She uncovered
great amounts of research data left behind by the Empire. The data from
the laboratory of a certain dark magician (Shida) was
especially large in volume, and it was said to have helped Kafka become
even stronger. Additionally, this knowledge, combined with the
technology the Roa brought home, gave birth to the Summoners
research lab. However, these two divisions often got into fights, and
they still form divisions within the lab.
Kafka was infamous for
having squabbles with her fellow Division Captain, Roa of Seventh
Division. It was said that everytime they were arguing, Grahdens would
scold them. If Grahdens wasn’t there, Griff would replace Grahdens and
scolded them.
Captain of the Seventh Division, Roa. His knowledge of otherworldly technology was incredible, despite his flashy appearance. I often scolded him for fighting with Kafka.
- Grahdens -
If Kafka was adept in magic, Roa was adept in technology. He was also that kind of a person who liked to tease his junior, as Mifa said later in Rakshult :
As
I was nervously anticipating what would happen, Krantz of the 9th squad
said nice words to me, while Roa-san of 7th squad teased me. Kafka-san
of the 6th squad would then insult him as the rest of the captains
looked on in laughter. Captain of the 4th, Griff-san would then yell at
the rest when the noise got out of hand…
Roa
was a scientist from Elgaia, before he joined the Summoner Hall. His
extreme personality and firm personal beliefs caused a lot of conflict
with those around him. He passed on a lot of his knowledge to his
nephew, who was later addressed as his son. His nephew then has a son,
named Noel.
When he was sent to observe Grand Gaia, he explored Atharva, and he found many objects left behind by Legendary technicians (Rashil?),
and by discovering these and uncovering their secrets, his achievements
are left in the records. A lot of the technology used by the Summoners’
Hall are the result of Roa’s research, and it also contributed to the
establishment of the Summoners research lab, together with Kafka’s
magic.
In early days of Summoners’ Hall, there was another person who was VERY serious, and came from a similar background with Paris.
She was, like Paris, also a noble from Randall, and joined the
Summoners’ Hall despite the strong opposition from her family. The
difference is, that she was promoted (maybe) faster than Paris. Her name
was Libera. She wanted to use her power to help peole, rather
than simply being stuck in a group of knights which only served the
purpose of gaining fame. Since then, even after being disinherited from
her household, she continued to look forward and worked hard as a
researcher, eventually rising up to the rank of captain of a Demon
Slayers’ Eighth Division.
Captain of the Eighth Division, Libera. She’s from the Imperial Guard, just like Paris here. Not only was she skilled, but she also had a serious personality. She provided me with entertainment, Just like Paris-chan does now.
- Grahdens -
When
she was sent to explore Grand Gaia, she arrived in Vriksha region, and
found out that the Four Fallen Gods are having a power struggle.
Considering the fact she was in the land ruled by Afla Dilith, it showed
how incredible her research ability was. It is not an exaggeration to
say that most of what the Elder Summoner learned about the current
situation of Grand Gaia was thanks to her.
There were also these two people who was best friends even before they joined the Summoner Hall. One of them was Krantz.
His background was a mystery, but some said that he had a peasant
background before he entered the Summoners’ Hall. After he joined, his
talent increased significantly so he was promoted to be the captain of
Ninth Division, and his friend became the captain of Tenth Division
after him.
Captain of the ninth Division, Krantz. A young one, brimming with talent. I had high hopes for him, that one day he will stand at the top of the Hall.
- Grahdens -
But
his talent came with a fatal flaw : he really HATES machines. Any kind
of machines. Perhaps, this was the reason why he didn’t complete the
report of his exploration of Lizeria, since as we know, Lizeria has this
machine called “Defense System”. Even so, it was said that Krantz
managed to made Lizeria as a neutral zone, means that Lizeria was free
from the menace of Four Fallen Gods.
Krantz’s best friend was once loved by everyone because he was “young and cute” that time. His name is Mifa,
and he was especially attached with Krantz, naturally. He often
followed the others around, and shortly before a secret mission was
announced, Mifa was promoted to be the captain of Tenth Division of
Demon Slayers.
The Secret Mission was announced by
Summoners of Elders. They asked the Single Digits to explore a land
called Ishgria. Originally, Grahdens didn’t want Mifa to join the
expedition team, because Mifa was too young for that. But Krantz
strongly argued with Grahdens, and he claimed that “he will protect Mifa
at all costs”. Grahdens couldn’t argue anymore and he let Mifa joined
the expedition team.
Upon entering Ishgria, the expedition team
were “welcomed” by the Demon Lords of Ishgria, namely, Shusui and a
Demon Beast. Griff then battled Shusui, and he realized that Shusui and
him were similar, they were looking for a strong opponent. Griff then
left Krantz in charge of the team and remained behind by himself,
standing against the Demon. According to the records, the battle between
Griff and the Demon lasted for several days, and the fierce battle was
said to have been engraved in the memories of other Demons. Even Shusui
himself remembered about Griff, as shown in the last area of Celgrad :
Iris,
meanwhile, caught in the battle against a Demon Beast with the rest of
the team. Libera handed the investigation reports she had to Iris before
she went to her last battle with Krantz, prompting Iris to escape from
the battlefield. Unfortunately, she met a being who called herself a
Goddess then she was also disappeared.
(It was unclear whether
the ‘Goddess’ was Mora or other Demon Lords, since in Rakshult, it was
revealed that Morderim was also took an apprearance of a woman. But
maybe, just maybe, it is safe to say that Mora was the one responsible
for Iris’ death, as she was addressed as “Goddess” once).
Libera,
meanwhile, stayed in the battlefield with Krantz, Roa, and Kafka, but
soon, she and Krantz got separated with Roa and Kafka thanks to another
Demon’s attack (still unknown). After she handed the reports to iris,
she joined Krantz in the bloody struggle against the Demon. Krantz,
meanwhile, forced to made a decision as the Demon attacked and thus, he
ordered Mifa to run with the report as he stayed with Rivera in the bloody battle
against the Demon.
Roa and Kafka left to face the Demon
Beast. Roa then suggested a breakthrough plan using a machine in a ruin
when things went out of control, and let his comrades escape. Sensing
that Roa was actually suggested a suicidal plan, Kafka argued and she
stood beside Roa to help him fighting against the Demon Beast.
(Mora
said that A robot in Beiorg killed the original ruler of Beiorg.
Assuming that the original ruler of Beiorg is the EX boss of the land,
then the machine Roa activated was…)
Griff and co died after
their battle against the Demon Lords of Ishgria, leaving Mifa alone. He
then wandered alone in Ishgria for years until the next expedition team
sent to Ishgria as their attempt to rescue Tilith : Lugina, Karl, Seria,
Paris, and Summoner Player, accompanied by Grahdens and Owen.
Currently, from later investigations, the deaths of number 4 to 9 have been confirmed, but only Mifa was unconfirmed. So
holding onto a small glimmer of hope, believing that he would one day
return, I removed the records of the expedition team members and their
divisions.
- Grahdens -
Warren,
meanwhile, after learning what happened to the expedition team, entered
the state where “he couldn’t battle anymore”, as mentioned by Grahdens.
However, Mifa met Bertz some time before he met Summoner player and co, and Bertz told things that made Mifa blamed Summoners of Old even further.
Mifa’s current appearance
Captain of the Tenth Division He was the youngest in the team, and everyone loved him for his looks. He was cute, following us around. He was especially attached with Krantz. I had not initially planned to include him in the expedition, but Krantz strongly argued that he would definitely protect him. So with the purpose of raising Mifa through Krantz’s mission, I let him in. Having faith in them, as their power at the time matched even that of ours, We commenced the operation.
- Grahdens -
At
first, Mifa appeared in Wulgee, claiming that he will kill Grahdens and
Owen. Owen almost hit him if only Grahdens didn’t halt Owen and asked
if the barbarian in front of him is Mifa.
Mifa appeared again in
Rakshult to tell some parts of the summary of Griff and co’s lores from
his POV to Summoner, after Summoner Player defeated him once.
Long time ago, in another world, there was a certain emperor who ordered a certain scientist to invent the way to evolve. The scientist's answer to the emperor's wish takes form as a research on a weapon that could boost humans’ physical
ability. The
result was a set of armors that possess the ability to evolve, known
as the “Six Armors”. Each of these armors possessed different element,
with one armor for one single element. It was also said that the
armors possessed their own will, and responded to people’s,
specifically their wielders, wills. It was said that, despite most of
the “Armors” took form as “robots”, the scientist still labeled it as
“Armors” because he made these robots as “guardians” according to their
own judgement. The idea about these “Armors” was “the creations that
could use their own rationale to judge who was worthy of protection”. The
scientist also equipped them with functions that can strengthen them
further according to what situation they find themselves in.
1. DUEL SGX - Dark Armor - Number 1
From DUEL Fragment’s lore :
….. Story has it that this fragment with the words “No. 1” carved on its
backside belonged to the daughter of a prestigious household.
Duel
SGX was the very first armor created by the scientist, proved by “No.
1″ carved on its backside, as mentioned by the lore above. Not only
that, SGX looked very different from other armors. SGX looked more like a
machine (not mentioning that GX’s appearance was the most simple,
compared with other known armors) and its system was also… very simple,
not as advanced as the Thunder Armor, for example.
Perhaps, Duel
SGX was the “protoype” of the other armors that the scientist created.
At first, he only wanted to make a test version of the Six Armors
series, but upon the destruction of his homeland, the scientist quickly
installed a program in Duel GX so it could defeat the Armor that
destroyed the scientist’s homeland. (CODE_666).
Duel SGX then
acted as Michele’s Guardian, and followed her as a faithful “Crab” until
it activated CODE_666 during the battle against Melchio.
Proof that Duel SGX is one of the Six Armors can be seen in Xeno Melchio’s lore :
Xeno-Melchio The
Ten-Winged Tormentor who laid waste to the land of Lizeria. It’s
identity was one of the “Six Armors” that was created by a scientist of
another world. Melchio was destroyed by DUEL-GX, also one of the “Six Armors” and once completely ceased to operate.
Evolving condition :
GX II evolved into SGX upon Michee and co’s defeat. SGX felt that it
failed carried its mission to defeat Melchio, then evolved and chased
Melchio to activate CODE_666.
2. Lafdrania - Earth Armor - Number 2
Let’s have a nice pic of Edea instead since she is the wielder of Lafdrania!!!
The
fact that Lafdrania is one of the Six Armors is revealed during the
player’s journey through Ishgria. To be exact, it was mentioned in
Beiorg’s Water Area, since Beiorg had Thunder Armor as the final boss and thus, the
scientist was also mentioned.
After Lafdrania arrived in Grand
Gaia, it became an armor held and passed down in Palmyna’s Royal
Family. This armor gathered its power from Mother Nature, which then
increased the wearer’s vitality. According to the legend told by the
previous owner, Lafdrania has its own will.
Evolving Condition
: Lafdrania acted as Edea’s Guardian and thus, it bestowed the protection to Edea when she battled Cardes,
and it even continue protecting her during her long slumber. When the
ones known as Saviors of Palmyna fought Cardes once again, Edea
determined to defeat the Malevolent God once again, but this time,
together with her comrades, which then made Lafdrania to evolve into a
great sword in orfer to answer Edea’s determination.
3. Reeze - Water Armor - Number 3
In previous article,
I did write that I was sure that Reeze WAS NOT one of the Six Armors,
but Alim said otherwise by showing us the Evolution Quote of Reeze 7* :
“My name is Reeze… Number 3 of Reis’ Six Armor series… A fusion of human and armor…”
Reeze
was the scientist sister, who, according to her 7* Evolution Quote, got
fused into the Water Armor, eventually gave her more power. She was
also the one who made turned Lilith into a cyborg.
Reeze
was originally a human. From Reeze’s 4 lore, we could conclude that she
helped the scientist
in making the Six Armors, and thus, as the scientist’s sister, she
knows the theory of the Armors, which she used to integrated
machinery to her body and to made Lilith.
As the story goes, the
scientist sent a device to Reeze before he dived into the gate to
Ishgria. The scientist sent the device to his dear sister as his way of
atoning for the loss of her, who
might have wandered into another world once she thought him dead. In the
latest sphere from Reeze’s GGC, the lore is as written :
Based
on the lore, the sphere is what the scientist sent to Reeze and arrived
during the Great War. The “device” mentioned in the lore was actually
the Water Armor itself. Yearning for more power so she could protect her
comrades, Reeze wears the armor and fused herself with it, then she
gained immense power to fought the gods evenly, with her humanity as the
cost.
Reeze also made a journal about the Armors her brother created, as mentioned in Melchio’s Battle Armor (White Armor)’s lore :
It is unclear as to who was behind the armor, but according to the diary
entries of a female scientist who came to visit the area from another
world, there were six pieces of armor that had wills of their own.
Evolving Condition : Reeze chose to fuse herself with the armor after losing her friends in the Great War.
4. Tech Armor Beiorg - Thunder Armor - Number 4
Upon
his arrival in Ishgria, the scientist continued to look for his Armor.
But when he found it, he thought that the evolution of the armor
wasn’t “good enough” and thus, he was disappointed. The scientist then
built a lab in Beiorg, and with the help of the original ruler of
Beiorg, he made a certain light
robot, with the hope that the robot could help
this armor to evolve further.
This Armor later known as the
ruler of the land known as “Beiorg”, since it had killed the Demon Lord
who was originally ruled the land. It was said that the original ruler
of Beiorg gave the Armor same name as him, since he was very amazed with
the Armor.
Some times after, a light robot found out the Thunder
Armor and they engaged in a fierce battle. Thunder Armor then won, after
it destroyed the light robot AND the original ruler of Beiorg.
Afterwards, it continue to protect the land of Beiorg, until the
Summoner Player appeared.
Evolving Condition : After Summoner
Player beat it, it was recognized itself as “still weak”, and thus, it was about to activate EVOLUTION_MODE, but cancelled
by Lugina, Seria, and Paris by using their respective SBB. Afterwards,
it was about to use SUPER_EVOLUTION_MODE, but then got destroyed by
Karl.
5. Melchio - Light Armor - Number 5
Melchio,
also known as “Ten-Winged Tormentor”, was infamous for its destructive
power. It destroyed its creator’s homeland before then disappeared
through the gate. It actually arrived in Grand Gaia, and the first thing
it did was laid waste to a small village in Lizeria, near its place of
arrival. This made Michele went to chase and defeat him. During the
battle with Michele, it evolved and knock Michele’s party in an instant.
As told in Michele’s story, it led to the activation of the suicidal
program installed inside DUEL SGX, in an attempt to destroy Melchio.
After
Duel SGX destroyed itself, Melchio finally ceased to operate, but later
resurrected as a monster and continue to slay its opponents.
Before
Melchio was known as “Ten-Winged Tormentor”, it was a usual robot. But,
upon believing that its creator had been abandoned by the world,
Melchio then resented the world and classified the world itself as
enemy. And thus, it destroyed the scientist’s home world, and proceeded
to destroy Grand Gaia after it was arrived from the gate it opened with
its tremendous force.
6. Vishra - Fire Armor - Number 6
In
its lore, Vishra was labelled as “the armor that could curse its
owner”. The person inside the armor was originally a knight who served
Bariura Empire. The life of the wielder changed drastically as he
received the armor. His soul was trapped inside of it, and he was bound
to fight endlessly, as the exchange of the great power the armor
possessed. During the battle with Logan, the knight’s former friend,
Logan’s stab made it regained his memory back. However, sensing Logan’s
hesitation, the armor took control over the knight’s body and fled. It
was said that the armor could fix itself and its owner. A fragment of
Armor Vishra is implemented into Logan later by Shida, which then
improved Logan’s power.
Armor Vishra arrived in Grand Gaia after it went berserk and killed its creator for the first time (the scientist came back to life with a special device he invented), which was the sole reason why Reeze chased it.
In the 7*, Vishra's wearer got his consciousness back, with thw cost of most of the armor's power, which has been extracted by Shida. The power of Armor Vishra is now dwelled in Logan, torturing the latter as Vishra's wearer chased him.
Other than the Six Armors, there are several things that deserves special mentions :
Nemeth Gear
This
is the robot that the scientist created after he saw his Thunder Armor
in Ishgria. He wished that the robot would be a worthy opponent for the
Armor. The scientist implemented the theory he used to create Six
Armors, improved by the knowledge of the demons of Ishgria. However, as
Nemeth Gear adapting with the technology of Ishgria, it began to think
that it will become the strongest, eventually made it forget its
original role (to improve the performance of the Thunder Armor).
Consequently, it killed the scientist who created it and evolved further
as it went to look after the other Armors.
After Nemethgear found
an Armor in Ishgria, they engaged in a fierce battle. But the Armor
kept evolving every time it was about to lose, then soon after,
Nemethgear was destroyed, along with the original ruler of the land.
Lilith
Lilith
was a weapon created by Reeze, in order to defeat Armor Vishra.
Originally, Lilith was a home assistant in the scientist’s lab. Upon her
arrival in Grand Gaia, Lilith was separated with Reeze. She was found
by Rashil, who quickly put his interest to her, as Lilith was a “being
from other world”. Lilith also met Dilma, who fell for her, despite
knowing that Lilith was a mechanical weapon.
If the theory that
the scientist implemented Water Armor to Reeze is true, then we can
explain about how Reeze turned Lilith into a cyborg : she applied the
similar (if not same) theories the scientist used to implement the armor
upon turning Lilith into a cyborg.
Let’s go back to the scientist.
So,
basically, the scientist was killed once by Armor Vishra, which led to
the plot in Reeze’s batch. Then the scientist came back to life, dived
into the gate to Ishgria after he sent the water armor to his sister, only to
find out that the evolution of the Armor he created wasn’t good enough.
Rather than upgrading the Armor, he created Nemeth Gear, and not so
long after that, Nemeth Gear took his life due to an error in its
system. Nemeth Gear then met its end in one of his creation too.
He
also made some other Armors, namely, Melchio and Duel-GX. Upon
realizing the destructive power in Melchio, he installed CODE 666 to GX.
Melchio, upon realizing that its creator was lonely, classified the
worlf itself as the enemy it must destroy, and it became “The Ten-Winged
Tormentor Melchio” we knew. GX, upon meeting Melchio in Grand Gaia,
finally activated CODE 666 to save its dear mistress, Michele.
He
also made a magical suit that can turn into something else in order to
protect its wielder. Not just that, he made a fusable Armor which then
had been sent to his own sister, to gave her more power.
There are 10 Gods known in the history of Grand Gaia. These ten known as the Divine Ten because they possess more power than other gods (say, like Luther or Phee.). Four of them were disappeared when the Great War happened. The 6 remaining gods in the story are :
1. Holy Emperor Karna Masta(disciple : Feeva)
He is the God that Meirith had sworn to protect at all costs, as well as worshipping Him. Ishgrian Demons, according to Mora, addressed Him as the God of Chaos (hence Feeva's titles : Misfortune Feeva, Devastation Queen Feeva, then Cataclysm Empress Feeva). One day, He announced that humans must be exterminated because they are nothing more than a greedy race. Lucius then sealed Him in "the land forsaken by the gods", but not before Karna Masta used His curse to the humanity: the power to summon the heroes from the past and force those spirits to battle the gods.
As He landed in Ishgria, he went rampage and destroyed the lands in Ishgria, forcing the Demon Lords who resides in the realm to fought Him. But they couldn't defeat Him. At that time, Lucius' disiple came and taught them how to use Empty Seal, which then they used to seal Karna Masta in a land called Menon. The Demon Lords of Ishgria then acted as the guard of the seal, along with Merodo, who then resided in Wulgee and suffered from the poisonous miasma there.
2. Lucius, the God of Gate(disciples : Merodo, Tilith, Ark)
Lucius is the one who guides the player through Grand Gaia, up until Atharva, before player defeat Him in Bariura. When Karna Masta announced the plan to exterminate humans, Lucius opposed His idea, then He sent the Priestess who worshipped Him, the Oracle Shaman, to defeat Karna Masta. The Oracle Shaman then went with her boyfriend, who is also the wielder of the title Oracle Knight, along with some other companions (Ruby, Medina, Rinon, Yuura, Dion), and her brother (Balgran) to defeat Karna Masta, but then Merodo captured the Oracle Shaman and sealed her away in Ishgria, along with the Holy Emperor. Merodo then used this to manipulate the Oracle Knight to kill the Six Heroes, who were the last hope of humanity.
After the Great War, Tilith was born with the power to manipulate the Gate, which then raised by Lucius himself to inherit His duty. He also assign Tilith to guide the Summoner Player to defeat Four Fallen Gods. Lucius actually wanted to become the only ruler of the worlds, and this explains why He banished Karna Masta to Ishgria. He actually wanted to destroy Karna Masta's curse because it could be dangerous for Him, but He saw the threat of the Four Fallen Gods as a bigger problem, so He sent the Summoner Player to defeat the Four Fallen Gods first.
Known as a kind god at first, Lucius is actually a cunning god too. He ordered Merodo to sealed the Oracle Shaman, and He also the one who lured the Six Pillars (Feeva, Tora, Kanon, Alpha, Tazer, and Kira) to the barrier He created in Celgrad and asked them to kill each other before He defeated the sole survivor. Feeva could see through this plan, so she waited until Lucius appeared to destroy them before she attacked Him with full force.
3. Creator Maxwell(disciple : Kanon)
Long time ago, Maxwell was betrayed and severely injured by Her own disciple, Kanon. Maxwell was the creator of the world, and wielded the power to create things from scratch. Maxwell is the first boss the player needs to defeat, despite wielding such power. Perhaps, Her power hasn't fully regenerated after the Great War because She exhausted most of Her power to defeat the Summoners who tried to contain Her. Furthermore, it's also possible that She hasn't fully recovered yet during the War thanks to Kanon's rebellion.
During Her time in Mistral region, She made a machinized gurardian, Juggernaut, to guard the Tower of Mistral, and has Abaddon to guard the Tower of Morgan. Abaddon introduced himself as Her disciple to Graham, but there is another theory that Abaddon is actually a demon who masked itself as a disciple.
4. Cardes the Malevolent(disciples : Zebra and Tora) Cardes is presumably a God who ruled the Underworld, as well as the Commander during the Great War. He intended to invade Palmyna archipelago, along with his disciple, Zebra, and his "partners in crime", Luther and Phee. The First Princess of Palmyna Kingdom then journeyed to defeat Cardes, and she managed to seal Cardes along with herself in the place called "Spirit World". Long after that, while suffering memory loss that locked away His power, He has to accept the defeat once again in Summoner Player's hand. Long before the War, He had another disciple, but then He banished her to Ishgria after Zebra told Him a fake story where she refused to be involved in a wicked ritual Cardes was about to perform. The disciple, Tora, was then banished to Ishgria afterwards.
5. Zevalhua the Supreme(disciples : Mare and Alpha) In Grand Gaia, Zevalhua resides in Agni Region, in the Tower of God in Mirvana. Zevalhua and Afla Dilith shared hostile relationship since they want to rule over the other's territory. Zevalhua was aware with Lucius' plan, but she couldn't face the Summoner Player with full power since She needs to prepare for a counter-attack with Afla Dilith. Known as a cunning Goddess just like Mare, She would do anything to lure Her opponents into Her trap. Meanwhile, Alpha, Her first disciple, was known as the man who prefers a fair-and-square fights. Unfortunately, during Alpha's match with Zevalhua, Mare injured Apha badly, forcing Alpha to retreat and then Lucius lured him to the barrier.
6. Beast God Afla Dilith(disciple : Zurg) Afla Dilith has the power to assimilate things He has eaten to himself. This is why Tazer once chased Him, because Afla Dilith ate Tazer's friend. But, Tazer suffered a terrible loss, then Zurg helped him to runaway before Lucius lured him to enter the barrier. Afla Dilith knew Lucius' plan to become the sole ruler of the world, and thus He rebelled against Lucius and descended to Vriksha region. Lucius then sent the summoner player to defeat Him, along with the rest of "Fallen Gods" who resided in Grand Gaia.
7.Mythic Kulyuk(disciples : Averus, Zeal, Layla)
Kulyuk was one of the highest rank God in Divine Ten. Unlike the other gods, though, He saw humans just like He saw other beings, as equal thing. He judged and loved every creatures equally. Unfortunately, the other gods who wanted the extermination of humanity couldn't agree with Him. One day, Karna Masta called Kulyuk. Afterwards, the whereabouts of Him is unknown.
8.El Felice (disciples : Sherry, Soleil, Pamela, Lala, Mazelca)
El Felice was known as a benevolent goddess who loves humans. Because of this, humans deeply worshipped Her. She was especially respected by womenkind. Before the Great War, though, She perished after Her favorite disciple attacked Her.
So... hi, Ao here. I will write about lore compilations and archetypes in real life from the games I am playing, Brave Frontier and Yugioh, respectively.
The lore compilations in this blog was made after I did a research to connect every stories of the related characters, and cross-checking to someone who knows more about it. Some of them has been written in Tumblr. I moved them here so I can arrange the articles neatly.
The articles about archetypes in real life are basically about anything in real life that inspired certain cards in Yugioh card game. The source is usually Wikipedia. with some other sources I could find to support the validity of the article.
I guess that's all for now? I hope you'll enjoy the articles here~
