THE MALICE KINGS OF THE FIFTH WORLD The Malice Kings were originally Hunters of the Methuselah, handpicked by Aidan Clayce in order to assist the Voidseeker in leading the conspiracy. They were his men above anything else, ready to straighten the path towards the vision that he had for the Fifth World. As the conspiracy grew and the Wiseman’s Committee was established, the Malice Kings became Aidan’s blade, and the only group within the Methuselah whose authority was capable of vetoing the wishes of the Wisemen. As the Voidseeker withdrew from his own conspiracy in order to allow the Methuselah to run itself, the Kings truly started becoming forces of their own to contend with in the Vigil, often manipulating World of Light events and mortals mundane and supernatural to suit their agendae. Regardless of anyone’s personal sentiments of the matter, the fact remains that the Fifth World is a world that rests perpetually in the shadow of the Malice Kings. Throughout history, in order to combat the influence wielded by the Malice Kings or out of the simple desire to change the way things are, Keepers beyond the Methuselah have ended up becoming powerful enough to be considered Kings themselves. The title has grown beyond its original connotations, and is used to refer to the god figures (or up and rising god figures) in tonight’s Vigil.

SETSUNA SHINTA :: The Fatespinner [Fox]

[geistnet]

SETSUNA SHINTA Aliases: The Fatespinner, the Shield, Sister Fox Affiliations: The Methuselah, Zangyaku One of the first known cases of a pure Mage birth in the Fallen World, Setsuna suffered the fear and rejection of the people of Yamatai because of her gifts. She became the voice in the cave for her own little brother, and Hikaru's raison d'etre. Dreamwalking was the only way she could truly connect with the rest of the world and hone her abilities. As things stand, she met Aidan - the Voidseeker, and the man who would possess her heart - through her travels in the Dreaming. Setsuna tried to become Aidan's moral compass. She did everything in her power to keep him from falling victim, yet again, to his hubris, so much so that she volunteered for Project Deus Ex Machina on the pretense that becoming one of the Vessels for the Endless Concepts would better aid her whenever she tried to help him. The darkness in Aidan, however, proved too great for even Setsuna. It took the tragedy of her sacrificing her life to begin shattering his resolve. Her physical death was a result of her stopping the initial descent of Nyx upon the Fifth World. At present, she is a Great Spirit of Fate and Time, manifesting only through an extreme amount of effort on her part or when she must intervene in the events of mortals. PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016 The strange eye color of the Shinta siblings aren't simply a genetic anomaly. Specialists hypothesize that somewhere down the line, their ancestors were products of sexual intercourse between powerful supernaturals and Amrita. This is likely one of the reasons why both of the siblings survived the bonding process of Project Deus Ex Machina. Prior to the Ides of March, Team Death Wish managed to liberate both Setsuna Shinta and Minato Arisato from the Forgotten Shore. Setsuna has since become one of the two leaders of Zangyaku, and has been watching over the Wolf's conspiracy for her little brother. Many have noticed the dragon choker that Setsuna wears around her neck. A few have asked about it. None of them have received answers.
