冬の鎮魂曲~Reworked Pt II

Okay, I'm now fighting a war. I'm never one who is receptive towards noise being made. The problem is that my dad has his idiosyncracies involving gadgets. Right now, he's switching one of his numerous junk so that it won't... well, become literally junk. As a result, noise is attacking me. Since I understand him (perhaps more than my sister and mom), I'm now testing my resolve of steel. The fact that no one understands me doesn't mean I should deprive myself of the ability to understand others. If this sounds weirdly familiar to you...

Plot twist: Kiritsugu isn't his dad.


Update: Okay, I offed his junk. My dad never said anything. Let alone did anything. After all, we're family and I got his idiosyncratic genes.

Singaporeans need help (excluding me, though)
There are times where one can't help but wonder whether Singaporeans are truly contradiction-proof. While I can understand the complaining S'porean (trust me, my dad is one), the terrifying nature of stupidity is... well, this. And it doesn't help that Shrey Bhargava is also an Indian. Why can't we all be civil towards all Singaporeans? Deadpool is angmoh, but that doesn't prevent him from being nice!

Come to think of it, is there really a difference between Deadpool and a civilised racist?


The thing with kids is this: By themselves, they're capable of lying, getting angry, and slapping that supposed BFF in the name of whatever puny god being worshipped. When it comes to racism, however, that's where the fun part comes. You don't expect the Brotherhood to understand intolerance and acceptance in the name of subjugation via instinct. Something (or someone) must have taught them the wrong things. They say you're influenced by what attracts you. Maybe that's why Nightcrawler remains the closest thing to Charles Xavier's dream. As for Cyclops, he's just another Magneto. Makes you wonder why he never joined the right side (for himself) in the first place.

No Thanks to the undeniable proof that Nightcrawler is truly needed in Singapore, I decided to use this post to... well, make all the non-Chinese S'porean happy. It doesn't matter whether you're Indian or Malay (sadly, there's no Eurasian in my A Requiem From Winter Past). Even though I'm a Chinese, I'm no typical S'porean Chinese. I don't play by the rules Jack Neo (and pretty much other S'poreans) always adhered to. That's why I'm doing a Requiem From Winter Past. I'm not interested in doing a Disney. That's so S'porean banal. Die Brüder Grimm? You bet. I don't mind my sis watching The Queen starring Jesseca Liu, but I actually prefer deeper stuff.


Pt I of my 完全リコール!!!!

What I'll be doing here...
I will need to do the stats and some other stuff. After that, I can hopefully start doing a bit on Aeravor's bio. After all, he's the protagonist.

NOT the 3rd type of lie
Mark Twain once said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." More specifically, it was credited to the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (I'm pretty sure he's unrelated to the modern state of Israel). In this game, stats give you an understanding of what they do. Without further ado, let's get to the vital stats (note that I've done a wee bit here).

Strength: Affects weapon damage dealt (+1% per every 2 points beyond the score of 3) and the amount of time allowed for the next weapon attack to come out upon successful parry (+0.5 sec per every 2 points beyond the score of 4; 20 seconds cooldown).
Deums affecting Strength:
Earrach [Weapon damage bonus increases to 2% instead of 1%]
Samhradh [+1 Strength]

Fortitude: Affects maximum hit points (+3% per every 2 points beyond the score of 3) and damage resistance (+0.5% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4).
Deums affecting Fortitude:
Samhradh [Maximum hit points bonus increases to 5% instead of 3%]
Geimhreadh [Damage resistance bonus increases to 1% instead of 0.5%]

Dexterity: Confers chance of successful dodge if manual dodge fails (1% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4; 10 seconds cooldown) and the chance to automatically hit if weapon attack misses (1% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4; 30 seconds cooldown).
Deums affecting Dexterity:
Earrach [+1 Dexterity]
Fómhar [Chance to automatically hit if weapon attack misses increases to 2% instead of 1%]

Wit: Confers chance of successful parry if manual parry fails (1% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4; 15 seconds cooldown) and bonus critical weapon damage (10% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4).
Deums affecting Wit:
Fómhar [+1 Wit]
Geimhreadh [Base bonus critical weapon damage increases to 15% instead of 10%]

Resolve: Affects the amount of Focus gained when holding ground (+1% per every 2 points beyond the score of 3) and the chance of automatic parry when holding ground (+0.5% per every 2 points beyond the score of 4).
Deums affecting Resolve:
Geimhreadh [+1 Resolve]
Earrach [Automatic parry chance bonus when holding ground increases to 1.5%  instead of 0.5%]

Unlock, Sköll, and Hati
So how are characters unlocked? In certain instances, Aeravor will have to do a team-up. Unlocking the characters require the relevant quests to be completed. So completionists, rejoice. You can then use the unlocked characters so long the quests involved include them.

As for Sköll and Hati, rejoice all you feminists! This part is where choices are made, be they moral or of some other nature. For Aeravor, it means calling the shots in... well, a moralistic sense. Not that he's moralistic anyway. The good news for feminists is that only two characters get to enjoy this... shall we say, privilege. The first one mentioned is Aeravor. As for the other one...

I think I've said this before. In case I made a mistake here, Alestrial Eliaden is based on Park Shin-hye in the same way Sting was the visual inspiration for John Constantine. I'm no part of SHynCorp, though. Just that I did the visual inspiration for teh lolz. I don't play by the S'porean rules. Jack Neo is Jack Neo, Kuok Minghui is Kuok Minghui. Period.

So what kind of choices will Ales make in the game? After all, Sköll symbolises the sun while Hati represents the moon (not in a Norse manner, but my own).

Okay, I need to end this post soon...
Can you believe I've yet to have my dinner? I've been doing this post from like six plus in evening till now! Either I'm truly crazy or I'm a genius. Perhaps even both for all I know. Either way, I'll round off this post with Aeravor's stats. After all, he's the protagonist. As for Tristan Aias, I can only offer my apologies to my fellow S'poreans who happen to be Indians. And that includes Shrey Bhargava.

A/N: Actually come to think of it, racism is racism. It doesn't matter whether your racial beef is with Malays, Indians, Eurasians, or Chinese.

Aeravor

Strength-10
Fortitude-9
Dexterity-14
Wit-7
Resolve-17

Deum-Geimhreadh
[Damage resistance bonus via Fortitude increases to 1.5% instead of 0.5%]
[Base bonus critical weapon damage via Wit increases to 15% instead of 10%]
[+1 Resolve]

P.S: Decided to up two vids. The first is one of my fave anime songs in Nightcore format (whatever the term means) while the other is an interesting find via YouTube.

Lyrics



Sorry, I can't find the lyrics because I don't even know the song title. I do notice Jon's picture placement above that of Dany is the same for Rhaegar and Lyanna.
