Protodeka. 'proto' - the Latin root meaning 'the first formed'. 'deka' - in some language I can not remember - the word 'of that', or more loosely translated as a 'type of something'.
I took that because my mother always called me a mistake - or tried to. Dad would occasionally pull me off to one side and tell me that she was just angry, and didn't mean it. Over time, he saw that it actually started to affect me. The tune changed - I was his First. The prototype. Flawed, perhaps, but certainly over-engineered. That holds true today.
What follows are what I amicably refer to as the best laid plans of Knights and men.
Judgement means nothing - that's not what we're fighting for!
