Crystal Basic Summarized Merge Information
Checkpoint Models used:
Illustrious 2.0 Stable (98% of it's clip, Base Model)
Illunorou (2% of it's Clip, Model Block Merged)
Ionsyx V5.8 (0% Clip, Simple Model Merge)
Note: 98% Clip (Main Knowledge) is Illustrious 2.0 Stable
Disclaimer: Remember to be careful with your prompts, most of the concept stuff stayed Illustrious 2.0 Stable and Danbooru has some ToS Breaking content and Illustrious was trained on Danbooru. I cannot control what it gives you due to that fact, the most I did was make 18+ looking people slightly more common to get.
Illustrious LoRAs used:
1 Unreleased LoRA Different Epochs as well since the epochs did different styles, Almost all of my LoRAs
2 of kuritsutian197's LoRAs: Shinkawa Youji (Metal Gear) Style and Akramness Style

VAE is Baked In Unless You Want To Swap Out The VAE. The VAE used can be found here as I also uploaded it separately: https://civitai.com/models/2142645.

Small Extra Fun Fact:
Yes, the model is using "Mittnaht" Old High German word for "Midnight" in the beginning of the model name. As for "Syx" it can refer to a modern, phonetic spelling of the number "six," an uncommon given name of Greek origin potentially meaning "sixth-born," so yes the model probably translates to "The Sixth Midnight" or something close to that.
Side Note: All LoRAs that aren't mine and all, even my merges, for checkpoints used will be listed in the suggested resources as well.
