History WMG / ValkyriaChronicles

Supposedly the Valkyria defeated the peaceful Darcsen, and then blamed the whole "conquering the world" thing on them; and there's ''no'' other written record of this other than the Valkyria's (and their super secret inaccessible temples); or even a vocal history by the Darcsen themselves. Then the Valkyria disappeared off the face of the planet; but not before giving their superweapon to a betrayer branch of the Darcsens who pretended to be Valkyria and were given their own kingdom. Supposedly there is an ancient language of the Darcsens, but nobody has ever seen an example.

Any ancient writing of the Valkyria is either incredibly poetic/cryptic or else propoganda. Being able to use the power required specialized "awakening" (of which modern methods are a laughable attempt at) which were such an extremely guarded secret that a generation passed without anyone passing on the secret on how to awaken the power; and thus the knoweldge was lost; and the Valkyria used their remaining power to cover their butts.

The genetic seal; ironically; would be nullified via rare cases of crossbred atavists of other races.

What happened was the Valkyria were kicking butt and taking names; but then there was a feud among two smaller factions; who completely destroyed each other via a Final Flame attack in what was later called "The Darcsen Calamity." Realizing that their own power doomed themselves and the world; one branch who would become the Gallian Royal Family used a weapon/skill that genetically sealed their powers; and their memories of those powers and then used it on themselves; a side effect erasing their memories of everything and darknening their hair. The Darcsens walked away, the Valkyria vanished, and history had a muddled sense of what happened and blamed everything bad on who was left.

The seashell twist temples, spinning drills, shields and twisting energy blasts weren't a clue?

** The final subjects before the process was released to the public were the Aces who faced the Challenge of the Edy Detachment Skirmishes. Including one "Oswald the Gold" who has a connection with "Oswald the Iron" aka [[spoiler: Johann.]]

* Yes, there are Commands in VC2; but not as reality-warping as Welkin's.

Probably by Dr. Foerster, who doesn't care what country lets her experiment or who gets her research. The first subject was "Ty the Immortal", Imperial Ace who took grenades and headshots and kept appearing in later stages. The nature of this treatment was a kind of "Ragnite Implant" that burst upon the death of the body; flooding it with Ragnite and rejuvenating it. It takes ''very'' severe bodily damage to overwhelm a Ragnite Implant.

Or at least a throwback to one, he didn't get the blue flames or red eyes; but his hair is a toned down grey. His power is in his Commanding Voice; which can; among other things; command machine guns to punch through tank armor. The Aged Gentleman was another one.

Consider: even by the most GENEROUS assessment, Gallia lost 75,000 people in EWII.... out of a population of 800,000. Now, even if we tweak those numbers to their most generous extent, that still leaves us with just under an 8th or a 9th of their population to death, and chances are it was actually *higher* than that. And then, just when the ability to rebuild is absolutely necessary, a civil war breaks out soon after the end of the Imperial invasion and lasts for about two years. Now, even assuming that births outpace deaths throughout this period of time, that STILL is a massive chunk of the Gallian population that is just ''dead,'' with the most affected being men and women in the prime of life (who are in the armed forces and generally get killed, incapacitated, or disappeared)- precisely those in the traditional childbearing stages of their lives- with most of the replacements being (naturally) extremely young. As such, the older generation is probably decimated in an almost literal meaning of the term (with about a 10% death rate and even more rendered all but hopeless by their wounds). And if Gallia faces another large-scale conflict at any point in the next twenty or so years, that demographic situation is likely only going to worsen. Which means that soon Gallia will be desperately short of warm bodies and with absolutely no room to maneuver in terms of military and political options. And traditionally when that happens, VERY bad things occur.
