What if the investor is Riders father?

It has already been stated that Rider was adopted off the street by his dead mother, that he doesn’t remember his parents, last name, or where he came from.

Like burn and Lilly it is clear he went through the Mecha Gene experiment at a young age to save his life.

The investor for obvious reasons invested a lot of money into the project funding it completely as it seems.

People rarely do that unless the research will, 1. Save the world 2.Save their life

3. Save their child's life

If Rider was dying as I young child it stands to reason that if his parent was loaded he would give everything he had to make sure his precious son would be okay.

Other evidence

1. The investor was enraged when Gigi said she killed a mecha, but calmed down he learned it wasn’t Rider

2. If the investor was searching for Rider it makes sense that he found Gigi along the way

3. He said it wouldn’t do that Gigi’s face was burnt, if his son liked her (for her looks he would assume) it would be bad if she lost them

4. His “minons” write down names, he has them searching for them

5. Burns seems to have met the Investor, and was harsh against Rider when she met him

6. Rider has leadership skills, along with the investor

I love how at the begining of the mecha gene you literally cannot tell Riders or Burns genders. Like you make the assumption that Rider is a girl and Burn is a boy during the fight scene and then two paragraphs later it’s like,

[sprinkles-pain-and-ice]

Actually if you read the first three chapters of the Mecha Gene it looks like a pretty stereotypical YA story, You assume Rider and Burn are going to be forced into a relationship with each other like most leads are, they’re running from some people called “the pack” so it looks like a “destroying the ultimate evil” story, and then there’s the “Change” which sounds like a cliche in it’s self. Burn is a “bullet proof super ninja” and doesn’t have any flaws, riders’ snarky and sarcastic and you’re just waiting until he’s “revealed” as the “chosen one”

But then it changes

Burn had issues, and I mean issues. the way she talks about her past and her insomnia makes you wonder what happened to her before she met rider, she fights with a certain style which makes you wonder who trained her, even before the plot twist you know she’s more than just what you see. She always wearing her gloves, she tugs on her necklace and curses in Italian.

Rider doesn’t ever flirt with Burn, he doesn’t stare at her *romantically* when she isn’t looking, he doesn’t make fun of the fact that she’s a girl and doesn’t feel emasculated when she saves his life. in fact it’s never even mentioned that the characters don’t conform to traditional gender roles. He’s scrawny, a wimp and hates the fact that he can’t fight, not because he wants to show off nad be buff, but because he wants to protect those around him, and what happened to him before he met burn? who knows?!

Though he does dream about cliffs

And when Lilly’s introduced? A tiny gay afiracan amercian lessiban artists who plantes flowers nd his searching for her long lost brother, you read that right.

So bascilly you think it’s about a; cliched roamtic subplot, a strong male and wimpy femal, and just a normal YA novel in the first paragraph. Bu then no. Burn saved Riders life, they don’t date, turns out Burn has an unspoken but spoken thing going on with a Lesbian names Lilly, Riders last girlfeined is asexual and it’s only mentioned once and is not a big deal. The pack is corrupt, some people in it are good. Nothing is black and white.

The boks more than what it seemes at first glance.

So I made this gif! I have a better version of it but it’s too long for tumblr, but I love the way it came out anyway.

[ship-all-the-mechas]

5. Burns listens to Lilly.

6.The first time they meet Lilly threw a pencil at her.

7. Lilly is clearly a lesbian.

[lilly-is-a-lesbian]

yes yes yes also;

12: Burn can’t swim Lilly probably tried to teach her

13: Lilly made Burn special food to get her to eat

14: Lilly makes lavender tea to get burn to sleep

15: When burns out looking for other mechas she gets paint and charcoal and stuff so Lilly has things to paint with.

16.Rider ships it.

[character-freak]

Lilly: "tell me one of your weaknesses."

Burn: "I'm uncooperative"

Burn: "No."

Mecha gene characters as Lilly Allen song lyrics

Rider: “Say what you say, Do what you do, Feel what you feel, As long as it's real.”

Burn: “Forget your balls and grow a pair of tits”

Lilly: “At worst I feel bad for a while, But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile”

Bullet: “Keep yourself to yourself or you’re gonna explode”

Normal people’s reactions to flower

oh, pretty

my reaction

THEY WILL KILL US ALL, RUN, GRAB THE CHILDREN!

[burn-the-warrior]

why does nobody talk about how Burn calls Lilly “Lil”

Like seriously it’s so adorable

[the-mecha-gene-writer]

So I painted a portrait of half Lilly and half Lucy. This was my first time trying to paint Lucy and I’m excited about the way is came out. Although Lucy’s looks a bit older than I pictured her.

[the-mecha-gene-writer]

Here’s a Mecha Gene comic i did, i hope you guys like it, there might be a squeal but i don’t know. I had fun making it, but Lilly was soooo hard to draw. Just seriously zero references for that position. 

[the-mecha-gene-writer]

So I finnished my Painting “Mistakes of a flower”, wich is also a portrait of one my characters, her names lilly.

What Burn said “I’m not telling you about this, it’s classified”

What she meant “I don’t want you to worry about this like i have to”

What Burn said “You almost got yourself caught! Never do that again. you could have compromised all of us!”

What she meant “They could’ve killed you, and i couldn’t be there to protect you, never do that again, i can’t loose you”

What she said “I was afraid you’d get angry and loose your held in battle”

What she meant “I couldn’t admit it, i don’t like when your mad at me”

What Burn said “Lilly will be fine, shes strong and smart, even back when she was a child’

What she meant “I don’t want to loose her, she’s talented and amazing But what if we still loose her, i can’t loose her.”

[character-freak]

What she said “Stay out of my room or I’ll kill you”

What she ment “go into my room and i’ll kill you”

Tiny fire glow flower!

So i love these little flowers of smoldering death and i got this adorable mini easil and canvas and just had to make this happen

[burn-the-warrior]

Lilly is awesome okay

Why don’t people talk about how Lilly literally stole things that had been recently been stolen, because stealing was punishable by death but she was so young they wouldn’t kill her but everyone was to afraid to kick her out because she’ld spill who stole it in the first place and then that person would be punished. 

just why?

[ship-all-the-mechas]

She also flirted with a guard once to get into a business ring with doesn’t sound that impressive until you found it she literally got into one of the most dangerous  bargin rings in america becaUSE SHE PRETENDED TO LIKE PUNK ROCK POETRY.

[character-freak]

Can we also acknowledge how she frequently walks up to a ninja chick  who's like a foot taller than her and can literally beat up grown men and just orders to get some sleep and eat something. Like if i had to look burn in the eye when she was annoyed with me i’ld probably piss myself, let alone demand that she goes to bed with a bowl of soup.
