Oh I just realized I didn’t post this here. I wanted to draft up a few blurbs about my headcanons and how my Ice is pretty canon-divergent in some regards and very headcanon based after having him as a muse for a gazillion years.

I think I did a decent write up about these two in my doc but it’s always fun to reiterate that they are the same person whilst being two very different entities all at once.

---

 On “Soldier” and “Commander” the double A.I. inhabiting the same shell.

“Soldier”

     Typically what most associate as Ice Man himself; a childish, effeminate and sweet intelligence known for being a crybaby and attention-seeker. He has lazy tendencies; yearning to vacation often. This is his way of acting out in a sense as while exploring the vast arctics does well to sate his curiousity it leaves him lonely and homesick. Vacations are just an excuse for him to visit Light and his robots to recharge his extrovert battery.      Soldier is curious and easily influenced by those he considers cool (such as Roll or Elec Man); tending to look up to strong willed or leader types being as he’s more of a follower.       Highly emotional, physically affectionate and ready to release waterworks when happy or distressed, Soldier is somehow both very dependable and selfishly bratty.

“Commander”

     Opposite to his neighboring A.I. in more ways than one. Completely mature and masculine, Commander is highly analytical, work oriented and fiercely bossy. His mannerisms are cold, matter of fact and snappy. When it comes to the science facet of exploration he is on top of his game and more than ready to engage in night long discussions with the human scientists on top of managerial duties and constant computations.      Though he might appear cruel to outsiders, he is quietly compassionate and patient to his other half. They experience emotions in tandem and are synched in this way but he knows Soldier wont get anything done without a little push... constantly.      Despite existing as long as Soldier, no one has ever gotten to know Commander. Whether it’s because Commander is withdrawn and disinterested or Soldier is just more personable and thus deemed more suitable for social interaction by Commander himself is a topic I’d love to explore more in rp.

Ice Man

     Together they form the DLN we all know as a fashion loving, dedicated and utterly huggable bot. His two A.I. talk to each other so rapidly it leaves others confused whenever they vocalize their thoughts aloud, nowadays opting to communicate internally a good portion of the time. However their mannerisms are so distinctive it’s simple enough for those who are familiar with Ice to gauge who is interacting with them, even through posture and expression alone. 

     It is also worth noting that while these two have given each other the names of “Soldier” and “Commander” they both share the name Ice Man, especially to anyone that isn’t themselves. Never having been singled out, simply calling either by their codenames would comically confuse them. They talk to each other only, everyone else talks to Ice Man. (This is not a hard rule, I encourage any muses that actually get close enough to him to use his codenames more naturally. Or even perceptive muses who take notice of his swapping pov speech to curiously direct conversation to one AI or another.)

     Now it’s easy to assume that such stark personalities would clash. This assumption would be correct as one side is always fighting to play and goof off the other is pulling at his hair to get work done. Only a healthy mixture of their interest can bring any bout of equilibrium in their head.

And together they are never truly alone on the job.

We’ve recently waved off the summer personnel while the winterovers got settled. I took a little break during the transition; settling to check on equipment conditions and discuss the current hypothesis the scientists would want me to look into.

It’d just be a few odd helper bots and I on the field. It’s almost a relief to no longer worry about the humans in these conditions; Repairing DOMs and stuff is easy-peasy without having to double check supplies and keep tabs on their health.

…but it always gets a little lonely when they’re gone for the season.

I don’t get it. When they’re here I’m distracted and inefficient but when they’re gone I get homesick.

Maybe I’m just long overdue for maintenance.

“ If it wasn’t obvious, I did not take that holiday... “

[passengerpigeons]

haters will see a winter enjoyer and say "why are you going outside it's cold and boring" and not even see the beauty in desolation and stillness 🙄

[iceslasher]

Anonymous asked: What are you doing for your holiday?

"Mm... I dunno! I didn’t expect the Doctor to actually say yes to my vacation request so easily...”

"[Hmm... With all this free time I could finally review the scientist’s hypotheses on our recent microbe finds...]” and there he goes thinking about work already. “Or get icecream! OH- Window shopping downtown is always fun, I dunno, there’s something about being able to do whatever when you want...”

“ Uwaah!! That’s it! I’m taking a holiday and I don’t care if it’s still winter here!! ”

not an ask or anything i just wanted to say your one of the coolest (pun intended) megaman rp blogs! you're really inspiring and have a amazing layout!

have a good day!

I’ve been unsure how to answer this properly but just know this ask has been rattling in my head since I got it. Thank you so much for taking the time to send in such kind words. Such a sweet and much needed boost ;;

I always feel like a bit of a wallflower and invisible so I’m happy I’m entertaining even just a little!♥

Also glad to hear that about the layout. The aesthetic of this blog is my favorite of all the rp blogs I’ve ever had. Something about this character just clicks with me.

Hey Ice Man, what color is the bow you usually wear at the base?

“ Well, I have 4 bows in my collection so I tend to cycle through ‘em! They have their own little case in my carrying bag. The red and yellow ones are favorites at the base. I think it’s because they stick out so much. "

" Its increased the amount of cheek-pinching I get which is why I lean toward the dark blue bow more lately. Haha…”
