Mendax Information Guide

MEMBER

Heeom is one of the newer members to Fate's Lament as she wasn't from the previous site of Hopeless Curse. She has easily established herself as a regular face in our little community, however. This girl is just amazing. She manages to put up with out general insanity and even if there isn't a reply for her to work on all the time, she sticks around. We're glad and extremely lucky to have her here.

FIGHTER

Shizuka Mori

Shizuki is definitely one of those people you can't help but want to hug, although she may punch you for it. She's been through so much in her life already and continues to deal with the emotional scars left behind as well as trying to control her womanizing sacrifice. Her own scars are hard to deal with, but as long as she and her sacrifice remain close...they just might be able to leave the past in the past where it can't do them harm.

SACRIFICE

Minoru Kawaguchi

Minoru is quickly becoming a favorite of many here. And how could he not be a favorite? He's adorable, wants nothing more than for his Fighter to be as he was before "The Doctor" came around and he truly matches his name of 'Lament.' Being locked up for most of your life is definitely something to lament over, right? He wants to help his other half no matter what, even if it means putting him through emotional turmoil to do so.

UNIT

Lament

The way the Lament unit interacts is something that not many of the other units can boast of. Yoshiro is like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde - and both love Minoru to the point of obsession. Minoru just wants Yoshiro and not "Doctor Demento" and will go to any length to try to help his Fighter. These two are definitely a unit to watch out for - or at least the Fighter is since he keeps his Sacrifice locked up.

Fate's Lament is a concept based off of the manga and anime series Loveless by Yun Kouga. The plot belongs to Risa. The skin and graphics were designed by Chama, with use of a lovely background from Kabegami E-Tank. Codes belong to their rightful owners, of course, and were all found on Proboards Support. The GIF affiliate banner is credited to Gemini. All images used are from Zerochan, with modifications as needed. And of course, all characters and writing are property of the players here.

Mendax – Mendax are genetically altered Unit halves. While they still maintain a true name based upon themselves, they are, by no means, chained to the one who shares that name with them. Because they are not bonded to another through a string of fate, they don’t suffer from the loss of power a Fighter of a mismatched unit or Blank usually exhibits. While they still are weaker without a Sacrifice, which is to be expected because the Sacrifice takes all the damage during a spell battle, they are not connected to another being by fate.
They’re the ultimate Unit halves. Being able to switch between Sacrifice and Fighter, not being limited to one half...

Mendax are what is to be believed as the next step in the human evolution chain, the first being the Units themselves. As Lament researched the Units and what created them in the first place and what gave them their position in the Unit, he discovered that there were two added proteins to the DNA sequence. Not the four main ones of Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adanine. He named them Samine and Zinine. It was this added pair of proteins that make a Unit – it was in his DNA but not in the DNA of a non-unit. Of course, this was tested multiple times. Scientific breakthroughs had to be tested more than once.

Samine was discovered to only pair with Guanine, and it only made an appearance in that of a Sacrifice. Zinine paired with Cytosine and was only evident in that of a Fighter. This was the breakthrough he’d been trying to find.

Since Guanine and Cytosine were DNA pairs in normal sequences, why couldn’t Samine and Zinine be paired together? He tested the protein several times and came up with the same conclusion; they could be paired together. What would happen if he paired them together in an actual DNA sequence? That’s what he did.

It was hard to do, but he managed to do it. He managed to slip the new protein pair into the DNA sequence of certain people. He didn’t know why it worked on some, but not on others, but he’d come up with a desired idea.

Now if only he could sever the connection between already paired units…

***Regarding the maximum age when creating a Mendax, do not exceed Arashi Arca's age/birthday. Please. It's to keep things realistic and in plot. Arashi is considered the eldest of the Mendax. It also makes things easier when creating Mendax so you know there is an age requirement - simply refer to this list to figure out how to age your Mendax.
