{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient from the world of Tir na Nog. He's a second year student at the private Bukuro Academy in Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward. He is part of the kendo team and a giant who wields a two-sword style in the underground fight ring. He either self-imposes or is imposed with the behavioral conduct of a military man who complies with others' wills. As a result of that, in the past there were many who relied on him for power, which also resulted in many toying with his determination. But over in Ikebukuro where Fergus's memories and experiences are suitable for him, he seems to be glorifying the life of a student. Perhaps of his role as a prophet, there are occasions where he glimpses at fragments of memories of times not set in the present. Every time the pain that springs back up from the difference between love and friendship reappears, he repeats his misunderstanding as he wonders if it is some kind of vision. He is a man whose constant catchphrase is "youth" and sees dreams of an adolescence he cannot return to. He holds good will towards those who honor a single choice like he does. He has a strange, frequent connection to the number seven, the number before eight. Since he's lost a part of the memory of the person known as Fergus and their role, he often just calls himself mac Roich.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|In the world of the young Tir na Nog, there was a great man who was said to have various parts of his body as big as seven hands. He was a man who had the authority to pick the wishes of men, which is to say he could choose love and friendship. But after that his way of life would continually sway in between the two. It's said that at the end of his prodigal youth, a sudden blow struck him while he was swimming in cold water. The reflection on the water's surface of his dying self at that moment was a shock to his short life. His aged body rejuvenated, and his irreplaceable youth repeated itself. The rainbow light covered him, and he was summoned to Tokyo after paying a certain price. He possesses a sword Sacred Artifact said to have handles patterned after the rudder of an ark. It possesses a great power for supporting itself on the earth, but he is greatly restricted as its user here in Tokyo. For some reason he has a sense of deja vu and avoidance when it comes to a throwing attack from a smaller person that can crush a giant.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient who holds a role of continual wavering between love and friendship, and of continual changing group allegiances. In his endeavor to gain an earnest sword surpassing the two-sword style and search for a third path, his struggles have led him to Yurakucho. Every day on stage is an exhibition performance of different ways of life. MacRoich met with the guildmaster, and now he steps on stage as a new up and coming star. All his experiences of love from his home world now serve as growing material for art, and he brings along his regular fans from his time as Bukuro Academy's kendo club prince. The literary talents that wrote the poems he sent to his friends and master will be put to work and exhibit themselves here. The sword in his hands hold the memories of the world of Fergus, MacRoich, and more besides them. They say he shows a wide breadth of expressions so far off from his normal demeanor on stage that it looks almost like he has multiple personalities. Now, he's trying to ring the buzzer and raise the curtain of the summer youth drama he wishes for. The Yurakucho guildmaster often uses MacRoich's power in secret. One reason for that is that MacRoich's weapons have two grips and allows for two bearers. The other reason is to escape the judgment of natives from one land.}}
