I’m mostly interested in non-romantic character interactions, the unexplored intricacies of human/Reploid relations, the dark plot, the way the characters deal with living in a world that truly seems to have no hope left. I’m not into Megaman X for the shippiness-there are precious few ships in the fandom that I truly take seriously.
#MEGAMAN X8 LAYER SERIES#
The other girls in the main series, Layer and Pallette, have only been in one game-and once you move past those four, there are no girls in the main series (although there are several in the side-story game Command Mission). X is the hero, and while the series has no female lead, Alia is the only supporting female who’s stuck around for the long haul-four games, half of the main series, which might seem unimpressive until you consider that the closest contender, Iris, appears in only one game in the main series and one of the side-story games. X and Alia are pairable almost by default. Unless one is writing AU or tragedy, there’s not much of a choice for shipping. So it’s only natural that the recurring characters, those who stick around consistently, get paired off with regularity. Setting that aside, there is a fairly limited number of characters who actually stay alive long enough to do much with. First there are the obvious questions that come up in shipping a bunch of robots-Reploids do feel emotions, and canon does include characters with romantic inclinations towards one another, but while emotional attraction is present in canon, physical attraction is still a question mark, and every possible interpretation of how it works probably exists somewhere in fandom. The Megaman X fandom is not, generally, conducive to musical-chairs shipping the way many other fandoms are, for several reasons. Together, they fight crime! Er.Mavericks.
#MEGAMAN X8 LAYER PROFESSIONAL#
She’s a brilliant scientist and technician who buries her personal feelings under a professional demeanor. He’s a battle-hardened warrior struggling to cling to his optimism in a world that seems to get darker every day. You just had to interrupt their sweet little moment. This is my first time doing something like this. Spoilers: Plot spoilers for Megaman X6, and a not-really-secret-anymore gameplay feature from Megaman X8.
