Knights of Octavian

Established by William O’Neil in the Western Reach, the Knights of Octavian were a private security force dedicated to defending the innocent and unlocking the potential within the human mind and body. As a result they forbade firearms, believing a man could achieve any goal with merely proper training and a blade.

Despite the bizarre nature of their beliefs and methods, no one could argue with their results. The knights became so successful that they started challenging organized crime in the region.

As a result these criminal enterprises banded together and hunted the knights into extinction, only Shaw and Rin O’Neil surviving.
Skirmish at Lamar

The Skirmish at Lamar was an encounter between the Alpha Clan and Zeta Clan in regards to their relations to the Xi Clan.

## Background

When the Alpha Clan became desperate for resources, they exploited Xi's weak military. Threatening them with extermination, the Alpha Clan demanded that Xi share half of their abundance of resources with them. Xi initially refused. To prove a point, the Alphas managed to publicly execute a Xi warlord. Xi leadership immediately agreed to Alpha's terms out of fear.

After several years of Alpha Clan abuse, the Xi Clan began looking for help. Most of the other Dragoon clans either were indifferent or didn't want to cross the Alphas. Zeta Clan was the only clan to show concern. Xi and Zeta leaders met and agreed to help each other: Zeta would provide Xi with protection, while Xi would help improve Zeta's infrastructure and supplement them with resources as needed.

## The Skirmish

Knowing that the Alphas collected their share of resources from the Xi city of Lamar, the Zeta Clan garrisoned two battalions in the city.

As expected, an Alpha Clan company arrived soon after to collect. Instead of the offering of Xi resources, the Zetas surrounded the Alpha company. The Zetas gave the Alpha company an opportunity to leave without any bloodshed, but the Alpha company was stubborn and proud.

The Zetas did not want any bloodshed, but they responded when the outnumbered Alpha Company began to fight. The Zetas were able to run the Alpha company out of the city without taking any casualties and with the Alphas taking minimal casualties.

## Aftermath

Alpha and Zeta leadership met to discuss the skirmish. The Alphas were furious and threatened the Zetas with war. The Zetas did not back down. With the lack of resources to fight a full scale war, the Alpha Clan reluctantly backed down.

Despite the small scale of the event, it was an early cause of tension between the Alpha and Zeta clans. Some historians even suggest it was the event that would lead to further conflicts between the two clans.

Durin

In the Northern Reach lies the province of Alsace. Centuries ago it was believed that a tribe of mutants dwelt in that region, farming the harsh land and remaining relatively to themselves.

However when human settlers moved up from the south they were quick to persecute the mutants and forced them off the land and down into the Barren-Lands. And there it is believed they remains for decades, seething and waiting for a time to return.

Shortly after the Dragoon Invasion their time seemingly came and these mutants, referred to by the locals as “Durin” pushed in from the Barren-Lands into Alsace. Butchering the human population they moved steadily southward until they threatened wealthy corporate landowners. As a result White Horse is sent in to stop the mutant horde but the Durin proved more capable and ruthless than was expected.

During their exile in the Barren-Lands the Durin made slaves of a race of even more mutated beings collectively called “Shriven”. When they return to Alsace they bring these Shriven with them, losing them on the populace with savage results.
Delta Clan

Heralded by the Fice Family, the Delta Clan is one of the few Clans to settle in Roommenor.  As a result they have warred with both Guardians and the human population for centuries.

In order ensure its survival the Delta Clan kept its membership small, turning into something akin to a mercenary company.  This also caused them to become separate from Malkeris long ago and practically forgotten.

During the War of a Century the Delta Clan saw a surge of membership and power until they refused to serve Divider and he saw fit to attempt to hunt them into oblivion.

After reforming they were then manipulated by the Alpha Clan to abduct Elaine Galad during the Invasion and were subsequently betrayed and nearly killed off.  Those that survive the treachery become instrumental in the leadership of the growing insurgency on Roommenor.

Theta Clan

Heralded by the Kriteton Family, the Theta Clan was seen as the zenith of Dragoon military order.  Strongly tying their worship of Malkeris with their combat discipline, the Theta Clan ruled the known world for decades as warrior priests. For generations they were carved out considerable territory on the Northern Continent.  This dominance would bring them into conflict with the Alpha Clan and the resulting war would see Alpha the victor and Theta’s empire destroyed.  While saddened by Theta’s defeat, this downfall renewed Malkeris’ interest in the Alpha Clan.

Shingles (Freelancer)

The man known as Shingles was a Freelancer who operated in and around the Northern Reach, occasionally working his way into the Barren-Lands.

## Early Life

Not much is known about the origins of Shingles, mainly due to the fact that he is not a reliable source of information. It's widely believed he was born in the Northern Reach. Due to his strange relationship with Bollman, some believe he may be related to Bollman and was also born in the Barren-Lands.

## Freelancer

Never being one to lead, Shingles joined any crew that would have him. More times than not, he would join a newly established crew then kicked out once they gained some momentum. He was once recruited by Watkins to serve as extra muscle on a quick job. Shingles almost cost them the job. In return, Watkins left him in the dust without paying him his share.

Later Shingles met Reid, a leader of a small but efficient Freelancer crew. Despite his obnoxious demeanor, Reid saw leading Shingles as a welcome challenge. Under Reid's leadership, Shingles slowly began to develop his skill set. Despite still being sloppy, obnoxious, and a bit insane, Shingles began to become a contributing member of the team.

When Reid was humiliated during a bar fight in Grantham, his followers lost respect for him and went their separate ways. From there, Shingles went looking for a new crew to join.

## Media

* Shingles will be portrayed by Chris Lippiatt in the upcoming short film *Ascendance.*
* Lippiatt will reprise the role in the upcoming short film *Brawl in Bakersfield*.
Vin Merlin

Vin Merlin was a dragoon who served the Alpha Clan.

## Early Life

Merlin was born and raised in the communities immediately surrounding Founder's Mesa.

He was noted as an unremarkable child. He was quiet, average, and didn't really stand out in any way.

During his final years at Alpha's academy, his instructors noted that he began to excel in the areas of strategy and tactics. However, they also noted he lacked the confidence and assertiveness to effectively lead.

Upon graduating from the academy, he remained as an instructor. He spent many years instructing in basic strategy and introductory to battle tactics, successfully teaching young cadets how to move forward in their service to the Alpha Clan.

However, his integrity slowly began to fade as people realized he had no actual combat experience.

An opportunity would arise, however, when a position opened up in the Shah Province. His superiors decided to transfer him to the position, hoping it would give him experience in the field.

### Damascus Squad

Merlin was put in charge of Damascus Squad after their previous sergeant was killed in action. He made a decent first impression, as the squad recognized his strategic ability. However, similar to the academy, his lack of experienced slowly became apparent. The squad's respect for him slowly waned.

## Death

After months of leading Damascus Squad, Merlin was killed by a suicide bomber while receiving two new members of his squad.

Although it was never officially proven, Mercedes Ruiz was ultimately responsible for Merlin's death. As a member of Damascus Squad, Ruiz didn't approve of Merlin's leadership.

With the fall of the Zeta Clan a power vacuum opened in the Eastern Reach. This resulted in an explosion of violence that the Alpha Clan either did not have the manpower or care to deal with.

Piter Vry, a retired member of the Adventure Corps residing in one of the affected cities, rallied several of his old comrades together and hired themselves out to the city council to help keep the peace. When they proved effective they were sent from province to province until majority of the region was pacified.

Phoenix Squad

Phoenix Squad was a squad in Idol Company, 12th Battalion.

## Members

* Jeremy Bloomer (Squad Leader)
* Flynn Kirkland
* Castor Bryant
* Talia Hellion
* Daniel Abesamis

## Service

### Northern Reach/Western Reach

The squad was pieced together to give Jeremy Bloomer leadership experience in the field. They were put in Idol Company, 12th Battalion to help suppress uprisings and rebellions in the Northern Reach. They fought with the company and battalion into the Western Reach for several years.

For the most part, the squad was kept off the front lines and given easy tasks to accomplish. While Jeremy Bloomer and Abesamis were oblivious to this treatment, the rest of the squad secretly felt insulted and began to feel some contempt for Bloomer. Kirkland began to respectfully express his frustrations with Bloomer to Marble, Cao, and even Bloomer himself. Although Kirkland's intentions were noble, Marble began feeling disdain towards Kirkland, feeling his actions undermined Alpha loyalty.

During their time in the Western Reach, the squad was assigned two human Freelancers: Tyne and Wayne.

#### Battle of Patna

During the Batte of Patna, Warlord Cao and Hauptman Marble recognized that it would be the deciding battle in the region. They decided to place Jeremy on the front line to give him real battle experience, hoping that having Raven Squad nearby would inspire him. Or, if push came to shove, the Raven Squad would compensate for where Jeremy was lacking.

Despite the overwhelming victory, Daniel Abesamis was killed due to an oversight by Bloomer. Although Bloomer took credit for the squad's performance, those within the squad acknowledge that Kirkland led the squad after the death of Abesamis all but mentally crippled Bloomer.

## Dissolution

Chieftain Bloomer and other powers that be decided to pull Jeremy off the front lines. For one, despite giving the credit to Jeremy, rumors were spreading about him being an incompetent leader. But more importantly, Chieftain Bloomer and others believed it was time to begin preparing Jeremy for his responsibilities as the next Chieftain of the clan. Immediately following the battle, he was shipped back to Founder's Mesa.

With Jeremy's departure, Cao and Marble decided to dismantle the squad rather than promote a new Sergeant.

Due to Marble's growing disdain for Kirkland, they decided to transfer Kirkland to the Shah Province where he would join Damascus Squad.

Talia and Bryant were both set to fill the empty spots in Raven Squad. But due to protests from Krius regarding Bryant being a former member of the Zeta Clan, Bryant was ultimately shipped to the Shah Province with Kirkland.

Created by the Hellion Family, the Beta Clan grows to become the most devout of the Clans, with the majority of their culture dedicated to the worship of Malkeris. However this places it at odds with other Clans, many disagreeing with the zeal with which the Beta Clan worships their creator.

My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!

***My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!*** is a prequel to the webcomic *Assigned Male*, written and illustrated by Sophie Labelle. The book is about the relationship between Stephie and her father Martin and deals with how trans children have to deal with the ignorance and insensitivity of their parents.

The book was crowdfunded on Kickstarter. It surpassed its initial goal of $20,000 and reached over $26,000.

## Synopsis

> *The author of the transgender webcomic Assigned Male is back with a heartwarming story about identity, autonomy and body-positivity.*
>
>

## Plot

The book is narrated by seven-year-old Stephie, five years or so before the events of the webcomic. She recalls the events of her life so far. When she was born, she was assigned male. She was raised by her parents, Alice and Martin, as a boy named Stephen.

Stephie came out as a trans girl as soon as she could talk. Alice understood quickly but Martin "still doesn't get it."

Martin carries on treating Stephie as his son and deadnaming her. He expects her to share his interests in masculine things like wrestling and fishing, but she doesn't. One Hallowe'en, when Stephie wanted to go as a space sorceress, Martin threw a childlike tantrum; Stephie had to take the role of the adult and agree to go as a superhero "so he would calm down."

Stephie concludes her story on a positive note that "no one except me gets to decide who I am." Her relationship with her dad is conflicted; she loves him but his behaviour is hurtful and childish.

## Characters

* Stephie
* Martin
* Alice

## Trivia

* This will be the first book of *Assigned Male* to be printed in hardcover, and the second to be crowdfunded.
* Like *Nail Polish*, *My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!* is a loose adaption of early non-canonical *Assigned Male* comics. In those comics, Stephie is likely 11 or 12.

Eiríkur

**Eiríkur** is an Icelandic student in Stephie and Ciel's class, who first appeared in the class trip in late 2015.

## Appearance

Eiríkur is slightly chubby, with a round face. He has white hair which is kept short, and a fringe which is parted in the middle. He is usually seen wearing a thick sweater and a blue shirt.

He has said, at the end of The World Needs More Trans Cuties, that he takes care to look manly "because I don't want people to call me a fag."

## Personality

He comes across as friendly and well-meaning but a bit awkward, possibly due to English not being his mother tongue. His family moved to Montreal because his father got a job there. He's very interested in video games.

Since then, he's joined the friend-group of Stephie, Ciel, and Frank. After a long time of coyly crushing on them, he started dating Ciel.

## Relationships

### Ciel

Ciel and Eiríkur are dating. Their romance was built up gradually. In *Help! Everything in my Life is Turning Gay*, it is implied that Ciel and Eirikur are romantically involved in some way. When everyone goes to search for firewood, they return without much. Flustered, they say there weren't many sticks where they looked. Later, as Frank plays ABBA's Dancing Queen on guitar, they hold hands by the fireside.

In Comic 286, Eirikur comes to Stephie's house for a holiday party. Stephie jokingly remarks that Eirikur will "have to fight to sit next to Ciel, they're all mine," after which Ciel quickly denies they and Eirikur are a couple. In the last panel, everyone has piled into a group cuddle; Ciel and Eirikur are sharing an affectionate look.

In Dating Tips for Trans and Queer Weirdos, Ciel ropes Eiríkur into stomping on all the spiders in their bedroom. Eiríkur agrees but is scared and afterwards has a thousand-yard stare. The two of them then go on a date. Ciel asks him out and he happily agrees.

### Stephie

Eiríkur and Stephie are good friends. They are comfortable being vulnerable around one another.

### Raquel

Eirikur and Raquel have a friendship of sorts. She seems to hang out with Eirikur in school mostly because she is intent on having a stereotypical gay best friend. Eirikur has been seen spending time with her on several occasions, but he seems uncomfortable with her.

## Trivia

* While on the class trip, Eiríkur comes out as gay. He has since said he "might be more bisexual than gay."

Hamza

**Hamza** is the son of Feyrouz, and is often babysat by Stephie.

## Appearance

Hamza appears to be around nine or ten years old. He is quite short and has curly brown hair. He has a round face and round eyes, and his ears are large.

## Personality

Hamza is generally bad-tempered, and believes that "girls stink". He doesn't want to challenge stereotypes or listen to criticism of his ideas, and vehemently asserts that he is "not gay". However, he does show some willingness to learn, as he is excited when Stephie helps him rewrite his sexist fantasy storybook.

## Relationships

### Stephie

Stephie often acts as Hamza's babysitter. He often tries to argue with her about issues of gender and sexual orientation, and even goes as far as to tell her that he thinks her gender is "weird". Stephie tries to respond calmly to Hamza's outbursts, although at one point she brings Frank in to intervene.

>
>

## Plot

Frank begins by revealing that during his time dating Stephie, everything in his life has become covered in rainbows and glitter. He explains that Stephie's father, Martin, is taking him, Stephie, Ciel, and Eiríkur on a camping trip.

On the camping trip, Martin leaves the kids alone, and Ciel decides that the location is perfect to see a unicorn. While Frank scoffs at the idea, Ciel follows guidelines in a book and helps their friends to assemble a trap to attract a unicorn. While they wait for a unicorn to appear, Eiríkur distributes colorful and glittery clothing, and then Frank and Stephie race against Ciel and Eiríkur to collect sticks to build a bonfire.

Out collecting sticks, Frank confesses to Stephie that as a cis and straight boy, he feels as if he doesn't fit in with her and her friends. Stephie replies that she enjoys her time with Frank just as much as she enjoys her time with her other friends, and the two kiss and return to the bonfire.

As everybody sits around the bonfire, Frank takes out his guitar and plays the song "Dancing Queen" by ABBA, and he realizes that while no unicorn ever appeared, the true value was in the time he had spent out in nature with his friends.

## Characters

Fruity Flangus

**Fruity Flangus** allows you to enrich the stereo panorama of your mix, add complex flange effects and simulate unison mode synthesis via a set of controllable 'stacked' flangers.

Flangus is included in FL Studio Fruity Edition.

## Parameters

* **Order (ORD)**- Sets the number of "stacked" flangers to be used for the effect.
* **Depth (DEPTH)**- Controls the "flange depth" (amplitude of pitch oscillation for each of the stacked flangers).
* **Speed (SPD)**- Controls the flange speed (speed of pitch oscillation).
* **Delay (DEL)** - Variable amounts of delay can be applied to each of the stacked flangers. Use this parameter to define the overall amount of delay applied.
* **Spread (SPRD)** - Each flanger is assigned a different speed, depth, etc. in a range defined by the basic properties provided in the Flangus interface. Increase the **SPRD** value to "smooth" the spreading of the stacked flangers across the parameter ranges.
* **Stereo Cross (CROSS)** - This parameter applies a stereo cross mix between the left and right channel audio output of Flangus. Increase the parameter value to mix more of the left channel sound in the right one and vice versa. Negative values mix inverted sound in the opposite channel.
* **Dry** - Determines the dry (unprocessed) audio in the output. Negative values mix inverted sound into the output.
* **Wet** - Determines the processed ('flanged') audio in the output. Negative values mix inverted sound into the output.

Martin

**Martin** is the father of Stephie and the ex-husband of Alice.

## Appearance

Martin has short brown hair, which covers the back of his head but not his forehead. His face is somewhat angular, and he usually has beard stubble on his chin.

## Personality

Martin is a caring and loving father who struggles to understand the changes his daughter is going through. After he split up with his wife and his daughter came out as transgender, Martin had a personal crisis, causing him to lash out at his ex-wife and child. Eventually, however, he gathered his senses and tried to educate himself on what his daughter was going through.

In *The Assignment*, he is shown to understand his daughter better than he used to. In a conversation with Frank, he says that he used to think Stephie hated him because he kept saying the wrong things by accident, but he then realised that "feeling inadequate is nothing compared to living in a world in which your existence in itself is always up to debate."

## Relationships

### Stephie

Martin has a strained but loving relationship with his daughter. When she first came out, he responded poorly and aggressively. Even when he came around and wanted to be a better father, he kept saying insensitive things by mistake due to being uninformed. As time has passed, he has improved, especially in his general attitude.

Epsilon Clan

## Epsilon

Created by the Hesik Family, the Epsilon Clan settled in the Western Reach and was one of the few Clans to never lose diplomatic relations with the Beta Clan.

As a result of the defeat and heavy losses suffered during the Dragoon Civil War, the Epsilon Clan began reforming itself into a corporation rather than a Dragoon Clan. While majority of the other Clans saw this as an act of cowardice this would not stop them from using Epsilon weapons or establishing extensive contracts with them.

During the War of a Century they form long standing contracts with both the Queens Guard and Divider, the Galad Administration even going so far as to permit them to build a factory in Roommenor. This marks the Epsilon Clan as the only Dragoon Clan permitted to settle on the continent, the human government unaware of their origin.
Virgil Sousa

**Virgil Sousa** is the younger brother of Ciel.

## Appearance

Virgil is much younger than Ciel, and is short with a round face, two prominent front teeth, and moderately short black hair which he sometimes wears in two high ponytails.

## Personality

Virgil is significantly younger than most of the primary cast. Before Ciel came out, Virgil had no particular experience with trans issues. As a result of this, many of his actions and responses are insensitive.

Virgil adores the family dog Borki.

He means well and cares greatly for his older sibling. As time has passed, he has gained a better understanding of Ciel's gender and of gender politics in general. This is shown most clearly in Comic 229, where he objects to the idea that Ciel shouldn't wear a "girl's" swimsuit.

In Comic 248, Virgil has his hair done up in twin ponytails. He seems comfortable not being typically masculine and stands up for himself when a friend makes fun of him for it. In Comic 285, he is seen wearing a pink dress at home; Ciel remarks that he's not trans; "he just likes to steal my stuff."

In Comic 279, Virgil comes out to his classmates as pansexual. They respond poorly, saying he "can't use that word."

## Relationships

### Ciel

Virgil and his sibling are quite close to each other. Virgil struggles to understand Ciel's gender, describing them in Comic 221 as "a bit like my sister". After describing them in this way, Virgil says that it will be his duty to protect them. After growing up a bit, Virgil has become exasperated by Ciel's goofy obliviousness and occasional hare-brained schemes; he helps out all the same.

## Trivia

* Virgil is of Portuguese heritage and speaks Portuguese at home with his father and sibling. This could mean that he is either bilingual or multilingual.  Ciel has remarked that Virgil speaks Portuguese better than they do.

Fruity Flanger

Flanging is a form of Phase cancellation created by combining multiple, variously delayed copies of the input sound.

Fruity Flanger is included in Fruity edition of FL Studio.

## Parameters

* **Delay**- Sets the minimum delay between the flanger voices. The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay+depth. For 'deep' flanger effect, set this parameter to low values.
* **Depth** - Controls the flanger delay modulation. The flanger delay will be swept between delay and delay+depth. If this value is zero, the flanger will remain 'static' as the delay modulation will stay constant. Setting the 'Depth' to higher values will create heavier modulation.
* **Rate** - The rate at which the flanger is modulated.
* **Phase** - Use this control to widen the stereo image. If set to 0, the LFO on the left and right channels will be in perfect synchronization. At 180 degrees the left and right channel will be 100% out of phase. This means that the left channel will reach its maximum when the right channel is at minimum. Try setting 10 degrees for subtle stereo enhancement.
* **Damp** - Use this parameter to attenuate the high frequencies of the processed output.
* **Shape** - Determines the shape of the LFO. Range: smooth transition between sine to triangle LFO. A sine LFO will produce smoother transitions, while a triangle LFO will result in more constant pitch-shifting. While subtle, this parameter can help you get just the right sound.
* **Feed** - Sets the feedback amount. Set to high values to make the flanger 'whistle'. Try high settings with heavy filtering (for example 99% feedback + the filter at 0.95) for special effects.
* **Invert Feedback / Invert Wet** - These two switches invert the processed (wet) and feedback signal. Range: on and off. Mixing a signal with an inverted version of itself creates the known flanger effect. When both are off the sound is more like a chorus than a flanger. While **Invert Wet** will directly change the flanger/chorus sound, the **Invert Feedback** has a less dramatic effect, but can be used to change the sound timbre.
* **Dry / Wet / Cross** - These three knobs determine the output mixture. Dry is the original signal, wet is the effected signal and cross is a left-right inverted version of the wet signal.
