Some info you may know some you may not

Post by Spike Spiegal »

From www.idothack.com:

For all of you who didn't know Morganna is the ruler of The World. And the reason she has Aura is because Aura will be the new the new leader of The World. So Morganna took Aura from where she was sleeping and hid her in her lair. If Aura ever wakes up then she will over throw Morganna.

Now to prevent Aura from awakening she has to keep Tsukasa from logging out because if he does then she will awake. To keep Tsukasa in The World she sent the cute form of Maha the Temptress (Maha-Chan) to tempt Tsukasa to stay into The World. She also told Tsukasa that the real world was a horrible place so that he will stay in The World.

Now Maha has 3 forms 1. Maha the Temptress (a.k.a. Phase 6) 2. Maha-Chan (a.k.a. just Maha) and her last form 3. Mia the data drained form of Maha. How does Maha become Mia? Well in Eps. 24 you see Tsukasa's and Maha's Gardians fight and later Maha gets data drained. When Maha gets data drained she loses most of her memory and because of all the time she spent with Tsukasa she believes that she is a player. Why does she like aromatic grass? It's because right before she was data drained she turned the grass that Tsukasa gave her into aromatic grass. Why does she like Elk? I don't know...maybe she likes him because he looks like Tsukasa. They are both Wavemasters you know. And Mia knows about Kites power because she once had that power and it was used on her.

Now Harld (the upside-down guy in .hack//sign) is the creator of the game as said in the tv show but he also found, while working on the game, a connection between the virtual world and the real world. Some people say that after he entered The World with his soal he was traped there by Aura. I don't know if it's true but it might be. Also Emma Wieland is the Harld's wife and help program some of The World before she died. That is also where the Epitaph Of Twilight came from.

Now the 8 phases are the creation of Morganna. She made them to go after Aura after she woke up. The 8 phases names are: Skeith, Innis, Magus, Fidhell, Gore, Maha, Tarvos, and Corbenik. Cubia is NOT a phase! He was made by Morganna to stop Kite and Blackrose.

Also from that website:
.hack//ai buster

The One Sin was a virus that Balmung and Orca killed. Alberio, who was supposed to be the one who killed it, saw the forums and saw that two characters (Orca and Balmung) were about to try and defeat this legendary virus. Arberio found them in Mac Anu and challenged them to a quick battle. (Orca level 45 Balmung level 47 Alberio lvl 55). The rules were if three quarters of their HP was gone, they lose. Alberio, not wanting to draw a crowd to the battle, defeated Orca and Balmung in one swipe with his spear.
Alberio said, "Never fight One Sin at your level", cast Ola Repth on them, and teleported away. Balmung, who never seemed to hear Alberio's words, insisted of going to fight One Sin. Orca was hesitant, but followed along.
The battle with One Sin was long, but Orca led the final strike on One Sin, and was rewarded with a treasure chest. It contained the ability to overwrite your character's data to put wings on him/her. Orca, who didn't want to draw a crowd to him, gave the wings to Balmung. They were then named the Descendants of Fianna, Orca of the Azure Sea, and Balmung of the Azure Sky.

Yeah... it's probly been up somewhere before... but I don't really care.

Hm?
I think Morganna didn,t make Cubia...
as I remember, Wiseman has said this,
"Cubia also part of epitaph of twilight"
Then Harald made it.
Just as a counter part of Kite.

:lol: :D THANK YOU SO MUCH, SPIKE SPIEGAL! Maybe NOW my friend "Crim" will stop bugging me! But he probably won't, because no one knows anything about the real Crim, like his name or what he looks like!! :cry: SOME ONE HELP ME! Oh yeah, Macha gets Data Drained in ep. 25, not 24, which is net slum. I think it's kinda Punny the way they named ep. 25 CATastrophe...::cries:: :cry:
AND Harald Hoerwick was not married to Emma Wielant, she was only interested in his programming skills, then she wrote the Epitaph of Twilight ::thinks about a Grunty and wipes her eyes:: then died at age 18. They never got married, and I don't think they ever would have had she been alive, but since Harald loved her so much he used fragments of the Epitaph to make the game Fragment which was later turned into the world. Maybe Harald created the 8 Phases and Morganna stole them to use them against those who refused her rule. OR Morganna stole the Epitaph and made the 8 Phases for the same reason.

On a lighter note, I finally decided that Das Wandern is in German, just because Harald and Emma were German. Okey, continue the on topic discussion, disregarding the German thing.

Ok... there are a couple things that are wrong with that, but most of the information is correct.

1. Cubia is not a creation of Morganna, it's the remnants of the data that is left behind when Kite uses Data Drain. When Kite attacks something like a phase, the data causes Cubia to grow at a much faster rate then it would from normal monster data (probably due to the fact that the Phase data is so much different from normal monster data).

2. Harald and Emma were not married... Emma wasn't even in love with Harald (she was in awe of his programming abilities, but that was it). Harald however, was in love with Emma. Which would explain why he went off the deep end after her death... most of the backstory regarding them is explained in Liminality 3.

I heard that the 8 Phases all represent one aspect of the security provided by the Altimit OS. When Kite eliminates one that security is lost, hence the rampant destruction and computer crashes.

Well, the information isn't coming from me, and I didn't edit it, thats why I added the website it was from. Plagerism sucks.

Not really,Altimit had NOTHING to do with the phases.
It's part of Morganna's doing.
Even Altimit didnt even know there was an A.I. program when they first started with Fragment.

well, the phases were initally intended for the ultimate AI. Each would collect data on certain human reaction, emotions, etc, (now do the 'titles' of the phases make sence? Skeith, the terror of death, was made to' collect data on human reactions to death') and that would be copied into the ultimate AI.

Yep. Before the game was made, Harold couldn't find a sponsor for his "AI Project", whatever that was. So whenever he created the game, along with it, he threw in his idea for the AI in the game.

The AI Buster thing is completely false. The One Sin is an event enemy, and Orca and Balmung were the ones who approached Albireo about helping them beat him. After seeing how he fared against the boss in a town invasion attempt, they followed him and tried to convince him to join them (or at least, Orca did. Balmung wasn't so thrilled with the idea of someone else joining their little group.) Albireo, although impressed by Orca's personality, refused to join their party on general principle. Orca went ahead and told him when they were planning to take on The One Sin just in case he changed his mind, and though he didn't join them, he did go there to watch them beat The One Sin. Balmung was the one who actually did all the damage in the fight - the reason The One Sin was nearly impossible was that no matter what kind of attack a person used, it would immediately switch its elemental weakness to counter it. Balmung and Orca worked out a sort of one-two combo with impeccable timing, where Orca would use an ice elemental attack, and Balmung would then use a fire attack almost simultaneously.

And the two of them got the name "Descendents of Fianna" from a message board post by someone with the username "W.B. Yeats," congratulating them for beating the supposedly impossible quest. (This is, actually, what tips off Albireo about Hokuto, since the two of them and Lycoris were the only other people there when Balmung and Orca took down The One Sin.)

Which is good, because Balmung is cool.

...I am still a hardcore Orca fangirl.

On-topic...

Hardcore information. I especially like the info on the One Sin event. Thanks dudes.
