Andarc is the Time-Travelling Love-Child of Camus and Miklotov

[DocFrance]

First, before everyone gets in a tiff, I'm trying to submit this to the Speculation Shelter. This is by no means meant to be taken seriously. Second, this short essay contains no Rhapsodia spoilers.

---------------------------------------------
1. Introduction
Fans of the Genso Suikoden series were frustrated with Suikoden IV taking place over 150 years before the rest of the series. Characters they had grown to love were nowhere to be found, and the few that did return were either ageless or extremely vague. However, with the release of Suiikoden Tactics, the direct sequel to Suikoden IV, it became evident that there was a clear relation between a two popular chatacters of Suikoden II and another prominent figure in Rhapsodia. That character is none other than Andarc Bergman: the story's narrator, Kyril's guardian, and the child of Matilda knights Camus and Miklotov. Some may scoff at this outrageous theory, saying, "Go write a fan-fiction," or, "You stupid yaoi freak," or, "Give me your lunch money, twerp." However, I will justify, using solid evidence, that Andarc is the Time-Travelling Love-Child of Camus and Miklotov.

2. The Attitude
Miklotov, as a knight, was known for his hot-tempered demeanor and his unnerring sense of justice. Clearly, he would later inspire that same sense of justice in his children. Andarc is similarly marked by his devotion to Kyril, after a certain incident where Andarc's protectiveness caused an irreperable tragedy. At the same time, Camus grew up in Camaro, where he was educated at the best schools in the Nameless Lands. Again, Andarc is known for his excellent schooling in the Scarlet Moon Empire, which reflected one of his fathers' knowledge.

3. The Skills
Andarc is a mage, yet he doesn't wield a typical mage weapon. Instead of a staff, he fights with a bladed staff that resembles a halberd or a poleaxe. He also knows many martial skills that a normal mage would not. If his parents were both skilled in combat, surely they would teach Andarc a thing or two.

4. The Hair
Just look at Andarc and Miklotov. Come on! No self-respecting person would ever wear their hair like that. Unless, of course, it's a hereditary trait.

5. Rebuttal
The most prominent argument against my theory is the time seperating these three. According to records, Andarc was born at least 150 years before Camus and Miklotov. How could he possibly be their child? The answer can be found in a recurring Suikoden character: the teleportress Viki. She is known to have involuntarily travelled through time on several occasions. Perhaps, after the events in Suikoden III, she also accidentally transported Andarc 150 years into the past. For Andarc's story of originating in the Scarlet Moon Empire, he would have had to be living in the Toran Republic at the time, which is entirely possible.

The most obvious argument is the fact that Camus and Miklotov are both men, and are incapable of reproduction with eachother. The world of Suikoden, though, is one of magic. If Yuber could summon 10,000 monsters from the abyss, why couldn't Camus and Miklotov have a child together? Furthermore, the prevalence of CamusxMiklotov fan-fictions on the internet indicate that these two, like all Chiki and Chimou Stars, should be a couple. One thousand sqeualing yaoi fangirls can't be wrong.

6. Conclusion
As you can see, there is a large amount of evidence pointing towards the fact that Andarc is the child of Camus and Miklotov, having been thrown 150 years into the past. Being seperated from one's parents must be a truly tragic event. Andarc remembered this when watching over Kyril, who had also been bereft of his parents.

The only other explanation is that Andarc is actually Pesmerga.

Doc, Doc, Doc - Here I was, all willing to build a religion and prosetlyze for you, when I got to this point and realized the critical flaw in your proof:

[DocFrance]

That's a valid point, as well as some absolutely terrifying hair. However, if I recall my biology correctly...

If we consider the gene for hair quality to be H (dominant good hair) or h (recessive bad hair), then we have several possibilities. In order for Miklotov to have bad hair, he would have to have the allele hh. Camus, on the other hand, because bad hair is recessive, could have either HH or Hh.

In the case that Camus has the allele HH, then the possible results for their offspring are HH and Hh. In this case, Andarc would have to have good hair. However, in the second case, the possible results would be Hh and hh. Therefore, if Camus has dominant-recessive good hair, then his and Miklotov's offspring could easily have bad hair.

Furthermore, Salome and Miklotov are primarily water-oriented. I find it hard to believe that their child would be lightning-innate, since lightning is the bane of water.

Also consider that, while you say that Camus focuses primarily on physical strength, he was born with a rage rune.

[Camus the Noble]

I say, this is a very interesting theory, if biologically impossible. This should definitely go into the Speculation Shelter. There hasn't been a new speculation there for quite some time...

[Scrooge McDuck]

Curious, very curious. I also support for this theory to be put in the Speculation Shelter, though. For the reproduction argument, you may also want to make reference to Alma Kinan (or that lost village of men Estella mentioned).

You need to remove the...

[Blackjack]

I disagree, good sir. Andarc is not intelligent, skilled, or cool enough to be the offspring of Camus and Miklotov.

Perhaps Jowy and Borus.

Lol very weird topic, I'm surprised you put this much thought into it though hehehee.
I have to agree with Blackjack though, I actually like Miklotov and Camus.. Andarc on the other hand.. Hey! Perhaps they asked Viki to take him away! That may put it more into perspective for me hehehe.

I'm not going to touch on most of this because it hurts my mind. I will say that while DocFrance has his/her genetics correct, I feel compelled to defend Salome and Miklotov. (Though you know, I guess that makes Miklotov's monkey ears to be most likely a recessive trait.) I quite frankly don't see what's wrong with their hair. In fact I hapen to love Miklotov's haircut. It's adorable in a geeky kind of way.

Miklotov must be Andarc's father, but I have a different take on his mother.

Well there is evidence to disprove Salome being the manmomma. Salome's office is on the second floor of Brass Castle, meaning he has to travel up and down staors by himself often adn with ease. Andarc, as anyone who has played Rhapsodia's Obel Ruins fifth floor can tell you, cannot climb stairs. At all.

What does this mean? What other being cannot go down stairs? Thats right, cows! So it logically follows that Andarc's inability to go up or down stairs means his mother was a cow. And where do Miklotov have access to cows? That;s right! Yuzu's farm.

THis would mean that Andarc is also a minotaur, although he is very skilled at hiding it. He is also Hugo's father and Pesmerga. :wink:
