Mishima?

I finished Pluralitis Concentio. It was good, after all. But, it's almost no compilation, but another RahXephon! Well, it's probably so, in fact...

Like always, Pluralitis Concentio benefits from familiarity with the original work. You definitely shouldn't watch it first. That's true of every compilation, hatchet jobs that they often are. Well, except G-Reco.

It is, however, significantly altered, including helpfully expository dialogue, overbearing at times though it may have be. Even so, I was still a little lost at the end. I can't say I fully understood it, but I'll tell you what I do know: It was a very compelling drama. The revised scenario twists Ayato and Haruka's dynamic, and it's so interesting to watch existing scenes play out with another context.

The characterisation of the supporting cast suffered, of course, but when doesn't it? Well, G-Reco. Besides, some characters were like different people anyway. Some of them hardly exist. RahXephon. Without Mishima Reika. Imagine that. It's all so interesting. I think it's a fascinating movie.

2009 vs 2019; although there was a four year gap where I didn't draw a single thing this past decade. I'm proud of both of these though, and hope to continue drawing and improving in the future.

Total Cost: 810 A mysterious machine that first appeared in modern times in the mid-70s to defeat the army of demons that appeared after the Silurian invasion of the Surface World.

The RahXephon was built by the Muan after the first outbreak of the Gyaos and the demonic invasions lead by the entity later dubbed Sauron in myths and legends as a last-ditch effort to save themselves if Gamera failed. However, only one among the Mu knew what powers they tapped into, and when it was first activated, it shunted the Mu into an alternate dimension and destroyed their civilization.

The Elves believe the world was brought into existence by a Song, and the RahXephon was designed to Sing on that level, but the initial experiments shunted the main Mu hubs not destroyed or lost to the Demons into a parallel world, only for them to be unified in a now non-existent timeline in 2012/2028. This is the reality the RahXephon created, but its song was marred by the Old Ones and other forces at work in the world that wished to continue their existence. So even though this is the Instrumentalists (Pilots) perfect world, there are still monsters and demons running around.

The Machine was re-activated by Colonel Jack O'Niell pleading with the Ixtili in February of 2004 when the Ascended Goa'uld Anubis attempted to invade their earth. The epic battle over the Antactic ended when the RahXephon sang its song of destruction.

A similar, more primitive song generator was later found on the planet called Dakara.

The RahXephon stands 70m (230ft) tall.

Name: Ixtili a.k.a. Reika Mishima, Angel Date of Birth: 18,000 BCE Motivation: Protect the Instrumentalist, Find meaning when your purpose has been fulfilled Critter Type: Artificial Soul Attributes: Str 2, Dex 4, Con 10, Int 5, Per 4, Will 8 Ability Scores: Muscle 10, Combat 20, Brains 25 Life Points: 98 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: Age (Ancient), Magic 10, Unique Kill (Destroy the RahXephon…Yeah, good luck with that), Regeneration (Con per turn), Love (Tragic), Obsession (Protect the Instrumentalist, Keep the World Suffused with Sound), Emotional Problems (Fear of Rejection), Adversary (Demon Armies, Gyaos), Attractiveness +3, Increased Life Points +40

Name - Score - Damage - Notes Magic - 30 - Varies - Usually subtle, but you’ll know when it’s unsubtle. Dodge - 20 - None - Defense Action Ixtili is the Soul of the RahXephon. She is fashioned after the 'dream' of its pilot, Ayato Kamina (born in 1998 in Tokyo, Japan), after his first love (which, by 2028, he will marry). She retains this form, even though she has already tuned the world. Her primary function was fulfilled. Her secondary function is to awaken when the demon armies or plagues of Gyaos appear (which they did in the 1970s during the Demon Wars, the pilot chosen then was Akira Hibiki. His current whereabouts are unknown, but it is likely that the Ixtili granted him a simple wish of a peaceful life similar to that of her Ayato's. She rests beneath the Antarctic Ice--or she did in 2004 when Jack O'Neill convinced her to ensure that Ayato has his happy life by protecting the earth from Anubis' invasion attempt. This let her 'loose' in various forms. She has no qualms about re-writing history and people's minds so that she is thought to have "always" been there. Those with Iron Mind are, of course, immune.

Mentally, the SGC considers her to be unstable. She loves Ayato and does whatever she can to ensure the tuning he wrought continues as planned. And for a God Machine, whatever she can do is quite a lot. Even in the face of Great Old Ones, Elder Gods, and other monstrous influences. However, she knows that she will no longer be accepted by him as he once did (or will do in a lost future), and that saddens her, believing she will never feel that warmth again. She wants him to be happy, even if that means her own suffering.

What she'll do when he, as all mortals do, eventually dies is a frightening prospect. Part of the instability originates in her need to remain to fight the demon empires. Normally, she would have been deleted when her primary function was completed...but as long as it is evil, she can not rest and she is aware that she has to watch the one thing she cares about grow old and die without ever knowing her true feelings.

For even in the triviality of a single playing card missing from a deck, the world's order is inevitably turned awry.

You must find me. Find me, Ayato.

Who are you, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

I'm watching the RahXephon compilation, Pluralitis Concentio. It's very different! I'd heard so, but... Well, I don't recall the details of RahXephon very well, but the scenario is surely slightly, significantly different.

For example, Pluralitis Concentio has it that Ayato recalls his past with Haruka, chasing her doppelganger, Mishima Reika, in the desperate, sudden hope that she survived the world's apparent devestation. Then, in the subway, after saving him, Haruka is forced to kidnap Ayato, who didn't board together with Mishima as in the anime. The new dynamics are so interesting! I think this will be a really good movie, especially for a compilation.
