i like a lot of things. fair warning, I have very sporadic updates. worry not, I'm not dead.

[sillyandquest]

If your Rainbow Guardians oc were boss fights, which do you think would be most enjoyable, annoying, memorable? I suppose I'm thinking it like more a modernization of MMZ but can be anything.

And if one of them had a playable mode, who would it be? From the way you describe them Baroque seems almost fitting for the role of tritagonist in a like secret "true route" or something. But I wonder who you'd pick?

The original Four Guardians would probably each have a single playable level in "original modernization" story. With maybe an arcade style "Boss mode"

Not too sure about individual boss fights, but maybe they can team up with each other? I'll just leave the boss mechanics up to your imagination. If nothing else, X's guardians are mandatory fights since Zero's actively seeking X himself. Fighting Rock and Roll's guardians would be entirely optional and are more to get the full picture of what X went through during the Elf wars. Either that or they're secret bosses you can find in certain rooms throughout the game.

You bring up something interesting about Baroque and this "true ending," but sadly he wouldn't be playable. After seeing the aftermath of Zero's actions on X, someone who Baroque considers close family, it would make sense for him to keep Zero as far away as possible. Maybe not a tritagonist like you suggested, but an antivillain since he isn't aligned with Neo Arcadia or Zero. Baroque's entirely on his own side where he wants to keep his family safe and happy. X has admitted that he has mixed feelings about Zero and both resents and misses him. Baroque believes Zero has hurt X enough already and refuses to allow him to hurt his dear uncle anymore than he already has. Maybe near the end of this route, Zero realizes the gravity of the consequences of his actions. Realizing that reuniting with X isn't healthy for either of them. Maybe the "true ending" is where Zero leaves for good and X remains with his family to govern Neo Arcadia.

Honestly the only way I could see any of the guardians being playable is through minigames. Maybe if you get a high enough score, you find extra secrets.

Random thing to mention as an idea, Chiptune and Velgaurder hanging out while their owners are having some sort of meeting or something along those lines

I dunno my brain just thinks the doggies should just chill together while X and Sigma are doing something related to their job

Hehehehehehe, yeah

They like to stare at the fishes.

[sillyandquest]

DAWG-

Or more accurately, dawg before and after he met his person.

I think I need to give the boi a little more thought, he's supposed to be wearing one of those search and rescue vests but it looks off.

[sillyandquest]

Hehehe doodle of HT! X being uninterested.

[sillyandquest]

Cinnamon, it her!!!

Tbh I've been meaning to post this but things happened and her doodle kept getting pushed back. At least I got to her now, she's such a sweetie.

Y'know I never did do an explanation about how Command Mission fits into Family Friend, I'll have to think about it soon.

[sillyandquest]

X is just sitting there recording everything. He doesn't like Dynamo all that much.

[sillyandquest]

Awwweeee poor baby, someone get FF! Zero Nightmare some therapy (I'm genuinely concerned for the poor guy and want someone to pull him out of that situation)

Something or other, the FF! Au clones deserve love and comfort just as much as everyone else

If it helps, Nightmare didn't, and still doesn't, really care how Isoc treated him. He's not always there and behaves pretty kooky for the most part.

Nightmare remains under X's custody and is in a care facility X created with Iris, basically a psychiatric hospital for reploids. All of Nightmare's weaponry and dangerous programs had been removed beforehand so he's as close as he can get to a regular reploid, but he can still overpower you if he really wanted to. He doesn't seem to mind his alterations that much though and mostly struggles with his short attention span, memory problems, and desire to cause chaos. He's seeing a counselor for this and receives both individual and group therapy to address his issues. There's a debate on creating the reploid equivalent of medication to help soothe Nightmare's symptoms so perhaps one day he'll be stable enough to leave but that's a long way off.

Nightmare still has hope for a happy ending and that's what matters.

[sillyandquest]

If it's alright, I'd like to ask for your oc to canon thoughts of your Rainbow Guardians.

Specifically how they'd get along/some ideas of your of their siblinghood with Levi.

The Blue Sister and the Oc sibs. I wonder how they'd get along

Since you're asking for their relationship to Leviathan specifically I'll try not to mention Harpuia, Fefnir and Phantom too much. Enjoy the info dump:

Opera takes after Roll's nurturing side so she gets along with Levi pretty well for the most part. They don't see each other as often as they want to bc they work in completely different areas so bonding isn't too common, but Levi always goes to Opera when she wants someone to vent to and aunt Roll isn't available.

Legato is pretty energetic and is always hanging off on someone. Unfortunately Levi doesn't like that very much and they both end up batting at each other like cats. Legato thinks it's funny meanwhile Levi finds it annoying, imagine them as a sassy older sister and a mischievous younger brother. You could almost forget they're cousins since they're each other's ride or die.

Acapella and Levi love singing together, so much so that they have a dedicated music room Rock built for them, complete with a program that lets them compose their own songs. They have lots of fun together but that sometimes gets in the way of work so they aren't paired up together as much as they'd like. Basically they're besties foresties.

Solo is pretty standoffish but they love gossiping with Levi. No secret is safe with them, they will judge all of your choices and mock you for every single one. The heckling is more minor with their siblings/cousins and non-existent with Rock, Roll and X, but everyone else is fair game. Beyond that though they're just generally chill and spend their time together doing their own things.

Serenade is the one Levi goes to when she wants to relax and decompress. They play games together or just vedge out, general self care stuff. Sleepovers are common with these two specifically and they usually talk about the ocean and cool marine life. Serenade once said her favorite fish was the goblin shark and Levi couldn't stop cackling.

Baroque is very affectionate so he always pulls Levi into the biggest hugs when she's feeling up to it. They go back and forth telling each other about their days, watch some shows they both like, rate how good or bad they were, y'know, pretty casual bonding. Despite the cheery front though Levi can tell Baroque is hiding something, she doesn't interfere though, she trusts him to put their family's safety above all else.

Thanks for the question!

Very cute. Like how Levi and Legato almost can't stand eachother while being each others bestie cousin.

If they were in-game I'm guessing they'd be the duo boss fight. Blue & Orange, Leviathan & Salamander, I guess they really fit together

[sillyandquest]

Heheheh, blue and orange are complimentary colors, basically opposites on the color wheel. It was too good of an idea not to make em besties.

[sillyandquest]

Fun little fact about the Zero Nightmare in Family Friend is that he looks exactly like he does in canon.

Isoc wanted Gate to recreate Zero "as he was supposed to be", but still ended up hating Nightmare bc he's so unstable. The only reason the Nightmare was still sent out anyway was bc Isoc tried taunting Zero with him and that didn't even work. I think that even if Gate did get it right, Isoc still wouldn't be happy with the final product.

If there was a Fifth Guardian what would they be? Like color, theme wise? I'm guessing either a girl so Levi isn't lonely among boys or maybe nonbinary?

I actually wanted to use the entire color wheel and added 6 more guardians at one point XD

Crazy I know, but the idea was that Rock and Roll would be discovered by Neo Arcadia and rebuilt as emotional support units for the real X. It worked for a while and then it was decided that guardians would be made to protect the siblings using their DNA souls. X's guardians are the ones we all know and love, Roll has three guardians she named Opera, Legato and Acapella, and Rock has two guardians he named Solo and Serenade. The last guardian was made using the remains of Blues/Protoman, though no one except Rock and Roll really knows that, and was set to protect Rock.

Opera's color was pink, and her animal theme was an axolotl. I imagine she's the older sister of the group and helps Harpuia keep everyone else in line. She's very caring and is second in command when Harpy is down. Legato's color was orange, and his animal theme was a salamander. He gets along most with Fefnir probably and the two rough house a lot, it drives everyone up the walls bc it takes forever to get them to stop. Generally though, Legato's very loyal and enthusiastic. Acapella's color was yellow and her animal theme was a firefly. She's pretty bubbly and likes talking to people. Sometimes she gets the zoomies and darts all over the place, she tries not to crash into people but it's happened before and will again.

Solo's nonbinary and their color was cyan, their animal theme would've been a lobster. Way more chill than their cousins and can be prickly sometimes but still loyal to their family. Doesn't stop them from playing pranks on them though. Serenade's color was purple and her animal would've been an octopus. Very "go with the flow" kinda gal. Stays calm under pressure and is easy to talk to, of all the guardians she's the one that dislikes fighting the most.

The last guardian's name was Baroque, his color was white and his animal would've been a dog. He has a strong attachment to family and loves all of his cousins, uncles and auntie. Is probably the most rebellious guardian since he want's what's best for his family and can sometimes get in Neo Arcadia's way. Despite that he's still well liked by the general public so Arcadia can't do anything about it and he knows it.

Yup, those were my little goobers. I only drew Opera and that was before she had her animal theme so maybe one day I'll draw the rest. Maybe doodle the cousins interacting? As you can see, definitely one of my more experimental au's but I had fun while I made it.

What Mavericks see seconds before they see the light of cyberspace:

[sillyandquest]

Hehehe that one meme.

[sillyandquest]

Finally got something done before pride month ends, plus meme:

[a-weirdo-works]

Still thinking of how Necrobat and Rosered were just…trying to hide from the hunters. Like, bruh they weren’t even doing anything. And that’s excluding the fact that Necrobat left Sigma-.

[imafraidofdogs]

Come to think of it, Rosered's resentment towards the Hunters in his dialogue with Zero may be from the fact that he was hunted down merely for the fact that he was a mutation from the virus.

From the hostility coming from this, it gives me the impression that Rosered has probably experienced a lot from being in the Hunters' sights to get a pretty negative view of them, and boy, does it seem like it has been a pretty tough life for him.

[a-weirdo-works]

That…makes things so much worse. However, something I’ve noticed is…he says “so what they say about hunters is true”. Does this imply he caught the scoop from someone else? Maybe someone he worked with? Or from someone he took shelter with? If so, that makes things even more interesting.

He also seems to support Repliforce here, even though they’re probably not any better, although he could just be using them as an example. He a.so seems to take a philosophical take on it. Perhaps he believes Mavericks are just Reploids who deliberately harm people (killers, abusers, rapists, etc), rather than alternative crimes (drug smuggling/addiction, self defense, thieves). I honestly like to believe it’s that. Hell, it’d be hilarious considering the fact that the hunters and even Repliforce had a handful of psychopaths there (cough cough, Magma Dragoon and Frost Walrus, cough cough). Though, I think there’s…also a line implying he believes in a reploid afterlife…which is odd. We don’t get any Reploids who believe in such a thing (or at least if my memory stands correct). But maybe some do as a way to cope. I don’t know. Thoughts?

@imafraidofdogs @pale-opal @sillyandquest @aeroburning @budderscotch @sneakyswag

[sillyandquest]

Yall, consider this:

Spike used to be a regular reploid.

Just some average dude who got mutated and now has to live in hiding for the rest of his life just so he won't get experimented on. Not only that but everyone else that's undergone this mutation all became Mavericks, so he doesn't have anyone to relate to or confide in. Do you think he still remembers what his face used to look like, what his original name used to be? Does he feel lonely, knowing that there will never be another reploid like him? Is there someone out there still looking for the reploid before the mutation changed him, never knowing that reploid is gone forever? Does Spike remember them?

[maverickhunterx99]

You know what?? Everyone, except X or Zero fans, tell me EVERYTHING about your favorite character from MMX 🫵

Tell me why you like them, what Headcanons you have for them, and what you wish other fans would do with this character??

What you don’t want people doing with them?

[sillyandquest]

Well since you're asking-

I don't like to say I have favorites but it's definitely Spike Rosered, this blorbo rotates in my brain on repeat and lives there rent free. His design is just scrumptious, I know full well he's based on Kakyoin from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusader's, but he low-key reminds me of Poison Ivy from Batman. I think it's the colors and the attitude I get from his official art. He always looks pompous and I love the sass, it's delightful. He's like a loveable jewel thief you see in a Saturday morning cartoon.

His theming is also immaculate, Guns N' Roses? Flowers? His stage theme potentially being a reference to one of the actual band's songs? (Welcome to the Jungle = Into the Jungle) His name was literally Axle the Red as a reference to the singer. There just aren't words I can put together to explain how much this makes me happy dude-

Then there's his lore which I find one of the most interesting out of any other Maverick. This dude apparently used to be a regular Reploid before he mutated with a nature control unit and the Sigma Virus. Not only is that just a cool backstory, but it makes Spike unique since he's the only boss in the entire game to never go crazy bc of the virus, in fact he makes an interesting observation when he talks to Zero. His dialogue implied he has a distrust of the Hunters, calling them pushy and threatening. You can't really argue considering their mishandling of Repliforce. Pretty much every reploid deemed Maverick never gets a chance to redeem themselves and are killed off, so it's no wonder Spike doesn't trust them. At the very least, he doesn't trust Zero. Spike's dialogue with X is different and he tries to get X involved with his schemes, even offering to split the rewards with him. He also says X looks strong and tells him that if he loses, he'll be Spike's servant. To me, this reads as Spike being aware enough to tell the difference between Zero's ruthlessness and X's potential and is smart enough to home in on X specifically. Basically, Spike knows that X is different from the Maverick Hunters, he knows X cares enough to listen and was going to take any chance he could to get X to join him.

There's also a slightly tragic aspect to his character in that Spike can never really let himself trust anyone bc if he does, he risks being captured and experimented on bc of his mutation. The mutation itself was so rare it's irreproducible, so Spike is quite literally one of a kind. It mirrors X in a way, bc as far as he knows, he's the only robot in a world full of reploids. They're both lonely and maybe in another life, they would've been able to see that. Luckily for them, they can in Family Friend.

Speaking of which, I'm very generous with Spike I'm my au. While I didn't go into depth in my Timeline posts, I gave Spike a chance and he's living his best life. Here's a couple ideas I had for him that I want to draw out someday:

Spike having an older injury relating to his fall out with Marino and having X go out of his way to help Spike recover

Reunion between Spike and Marino where they rekindle their friendship

Make up party with the besties

A team up between Spike, Marino, and Marty where they all kick Dynamo's ass

A possible fanchild between Spike and Blast Hornet

Spike doing community service and X cheering him up

Spike crashing hard at X's place once he feels safe and waking up without pain for the first time in forever

[sillyandquest]

There's Pranara DD from Giga mission who is the other part of the duo with Nichts (Nichts kinda absorbs him and it ends up becoming a reference to Bit & Byte's transformation from X3) Pranara gets even less than Nichts in personality past being the other half of the nightmare police duo

Season 2 has Tackione, Bloodione, Luxione and Enamice-HL but you would have to to a complete rewrite for them, as Tackione who they all originate from is the remeet version of Dr. Doppler, they're often called the order breakers as a group, they also have nothing in personality

And there's Himmel and Burg from the scrapped season (the confuse-a-stoners)

There's also non limiteds in Curtiss, Shmitt and Dr. Doppler's assistant from the manga; the last of which Hitoshi Ariga didn't really develop much or give a name to which is a shame because she has a really cool design

Season 1 also has the mother limited herself, which all the Limiteds are born from

When I say mega mission & giga mission is a bit of a sand box, I'm not joking

I just googled all the guys you mentioned and oh my god they're so wonderfully weird. Except Doppler's assistant, she's stunning. I've gotta figure out a name for her sometime, for now I'll just call her Aria. The other guys you listed like Curtiss and Shmitt are up in the air for now, one of them is a backstabber but the other can be a ride or die when he needs to be at least that's what I could tell.

If I were to come up with a personality for Himmel and Burg I'd probably take traits from the bosses they were based on. For example Himmel might be a proud but rowdy and insecure kind of guy while Burg would be more fearsome and haughty.

You're right about Pranara having little personality, the only thing I could pull was him being protective over his partner. Not a whole lot to go off but I think it's a good trait nonetheless and could lead to Kai having a decent ally in her corner if Pranara has the patience for it.
