Ah, if only it could've been so easy. I would've agreed with that hypothesis if it didn't open up more cans of worms and provided more inconsistent plotholes. But then, mothy always did have aces up his sleeve, but we won't know until "Hell." If I am wrong, I would gladly concede, if right, well~

Now, let me point out why:

Ma (Elluka) adopted her name as it is, but you have to remember she was only one of four candidates at the seventh (and final) Project Ma. The purpose of Project Ma was to search for a mother of the twin gods who would be the strongest magician. Project Ma ended in disaster, all seven of them, with the final one culminating the "Great Fire Disaster" of Divine Levianta. (The Evils Kingdom Booklet pointed out that Ma generated legal problems, the person, but indirectly the project as well.) Had Project Ma for the final time been a success, I highly doubt the "Great Fire Disaster" would've ravaged kingdom and surrounding countries. It is presumably a failure. Ma (Elluka) wouldn't have given birth to the Twin Gods, only adopting the name for some reason.

Project Ma also would include the Ma (Mem Aleph) would give birth to twin gods, and while no doubt Waiter is Irregular's other half, she is the Mirror's incarnation, her soul not dwelling inside the Clockworker's Doll, thus necessitating no birth on her part, only her other half. Only Irregular (one person) dwells within that womb being soothed by the "lullaby"; Waiter is already present, active and awakened. If you compare purpose of Project Ma (Giving Birth to Twin Gods) to the circumstance of the Clockworker's Doll (Giving Birth to Irregular), that alone would've sank your theory more than a dozen cannons can to a small raft.

Finally, the Twin Gods would've cleansed the sin in the first place. Had the final Project Ma been a success, they would've caught up to Eve, Hansel, and gretel, to prevent it. It didn't. What's more, the Twin Gods' purpose was to cleanse the sins themselves, and Allen and Riliane are one (er...two) actual sinners, not cleaners (I believe that would be an apt term, albeit loose), defeating the purpose.

I was one of the early proponents and supporters that Allen might've been the Master of the Heavenly Yard, and relieved when my theory was above feasible, but now that it is, I have to dissect it and look further between the lines. As such, I have to look at other theories and test their feasibility, and very few made it past my passing radar. This isn't one of them.

I agree that Irregular is the messianic archetype, but Waiter's role at best needs further investigation.

So far:

There are two god incarnates: Michaela, the Successor and Spirit of Eld, and Irregular, the tentative Master of the Heavenly Yard. I am not saying that they're both the ones to clean and go do it, I'm just saying that only those two are divine incarnates. There might be more.

The honor of "Messianic Archetype" falls on Allen/Irregular alone. The definition of a "messiah" is both "people saver/liberator" and "deliverer." Only Allen has done that, having saved his sister from death and taking her place (and paying for her sins), as well as preventing Clarith from culminating a different sin. Michaela, on the other hand, was a plot device that was the trigger, but she might intervene in the affairs of the forest and theater.

Irregular and Waiter share a connection, with Waiter...waiting...for her "other half."

The previous owners of the Vessels have their souls trapped forever, as well as those who used them (like Ney). How did Adam's soul become GEAR and attach to the Marlon Spoon, and what was the "trap" that he fell in? As well, if it was Adam who was in the Marlon Spoon, then what about Gallerian, who was the owner and "active" sinner of Avaritia? Did his soul really fall into hell, or become trapped in the spoon (I think he really did fall into hell, but then, why Adam, or is Gallerian also an incarnation like Kyle)?
