***Stumm***, pronounced *(Sh-tum)*, is M.E.T.A.'s *Filmmaker*, in fact the one who Films and Edits scenes in various Promotional Advertisements and Montages for M.E.T.A., such as the *"Recruitment Video"*. He also plays as an Assistant to *Aquillius Gent* and *Worby* at times, helping them with their Projects. Leading the two to thank him by making him a Sniper Rifle Camera, one that records incredibly far distances; as well as having a few additional mechanics, like *Verse Detection* and the ability to shoot real bullets if desired.

## Background

### KUBRICK'S DIRECTOR

When Stumm first stepped into the world of Filmmaking, he wasn't noticed, but *Kubrick* saw his potential and hired him for one of his Films. One that had a few other Directors, *Joslin* and *Louis*. However, like the other two, Stumm could only take so much of *Kubrick* and his Verbal Abuse. He would go on to leave Kubrick and find work elsewhere. Due to his Past Works, he was noticed by a Board Member of META, this being *Purple Guy*.

### JOINING META

Stumm would initially be working on a Documentary about *Purple Guy* and his fame in killing children. The Film would be cancelled, but others at META would find a man of his Skillset to one day be useful, such as a Recruitment Introduction Video for new Rookies of META. Stumm would be respected and liked by various Members, even some becoming close friends with him. He would also assist *Aquillius Gent* with his Projects.

### SUSPENSIONS OF BUCKERO

All went well, Stumm had his Opinions of META, both Positive and Negative, but all seemed to change when he got a sunken feeling of Dread. The day *Buckero* was shipped to META Headquarters, where Stumm also lived. From there, he would keep his eye on Buckero, finding him to relatively be Chill. That was until he caught the very end of a Conversation Buckero was having with an unknown Contact, where Stumm heard talk of a War and some sort of Mission.

### THEMES

#### LONELINESS

Stumm suffers from rare condition, leading him to have difficulty Speaking to Others. Instead of attempting to learn Sign Language or anything of the Sort, he kept to himself, enjoying the Art of Film. Which would lead him to be a Filmmaker in the future. Even though he would eventually become a Director-for-hire, he continued to have Issues talking to other People, and it didn't help with Kubrick (his former boss) and his verbal abuse towards Stumm's Mutism. We'll see however, he becomes far more happier once he joined M.E.T.A., being treated more respectful and liked by his Peers.
