Freaking Finally, I Finished My Metal Slug Oc's Biographies! Now I Can Draw Up Their Reference Sheets!

Freaking finally, I finished my Metal Slug Oc's biographies! Now I can draw up their reference sheets!

Theme I'm going for with my characters and the cannon characters: What it means to be human.

A Simple Conversation -Tsua Jungle AU-

Night. Normally, no sound comes from it, but tonight is no ordinary night. Aside from the occasional fire crackling: the trees sways with every gust of wind. Crickets and nocturnal creatures crack the earth beneath them as they make low noise. Dew tickles the nostrils of inhabitants and visitors alike. Among them, a quartet of tents huddles around a fire.

One lacks a person.

Izuku, using his whip, climbs a nearby tree. He yawns, his heart and mind racing after today’s events. Izuku could never imagine that he’d be attacked by his former friend of all people. Naturally rattled, he turns to the one thing that helps him sleep: A good book. He plops on a heavy branch, then pulls out his book.

Before he could read, the branch shook. Alarmed, he turns and sees a large figure next to him. Izuku would have screamed, yet a hand covers his mouth. He turns and sighs a breath of relief when he notices the familiar figure.

“Tenya you scared me!” Izuku puts his hand over his chest.

Tenya raises an eyebrow at his friend. Then knuckle walks closer to the boy. The feral teen peers over Izuku's shoulder. His eyes studying the words in front of him. He tilts his head, then looks over at Izuku.

“Oh? This? This is a book!” Izuku grins.

Tenya scowls at him, as if to say ‘I know what it is.’

“Urk, sorry.” Izuku gulps then shows him the cover. “Mr. Might gave it to me. It’s a book on Lost Cities. As you can see, there’s tons of them around the world. Some of the more famous ones include; Machu Picchu, Hubat, Ai-Khanoum-“

Izuku blabs on and on: showing Tenya each of the temples that are known and unknown to the world. Luckily, Tenya's lips slightly part as he raises an eyebrow. Izuku’s hands tingles in response to Tenya’s body language as he keeps going.  After all, not very many people showed an interest in what he has to say, save for Ochaco.

Izuku continued to talk, not noticing another presence making his way up the tree. The branch shakes once more. Both Izuku and Tenya turn around. There sits Shoto: getting comfortable on the unusually large branch.

“Shoto!”

“It’s late.” Shoto said.

“Sorry…I couldn’t sleep.” Izuku chuckles nervously.

Shoto sighs and leans over. “A book on Lost Cities?” He raises an eyebrow.

Izuku nods. “I was just telling Tenya about them! Want to join?”

“Hm…” Shoto nods.

“Where was I…” Izuku flips the pages. “Oh here! This lost city is in India. Apparently, it used to be an ancient temple. Mr. Might was planning a trip there, but he had to post pone at as it’s rumored that it maybe cursed-“

“Cursed?”

“Supposedly!” Izuku grins.

“Odd.”

“Not really.” Izuku said. “Harsu Bhram Temple is rumored to have supernatural powers. Which I doubt, but then again, you never know. Especially with what we’ve seen so far-“

Izuku continues to talk. Both Tenya and Shoto listening to the Archeologist go on about the temples. Every once in a while, a tree would creek in the wind. The creek did nothing to dissuade the conversation. A conversation that may last throughout the night.

Android

An android is a humanoid robot or other artificial being. They’re made from flesh like material that makes them look human.

To me, it’s a humanoid robot with highly advanced AI. AI has the ability to evolve, form their own options, and most of all, have emotions. To laugh, to mourn, to love. Most of all, to form relationships, to form personalities, and to form tastes. This is Project C.O.R.E

I’ve built four Androids with the resources I found scattered across the world. Well, not really, it was simple to get the hair and clothing. The outer skins and eye colors wasn’t as hard. Everything else? I don’t want to go into detail.

Their A.I. wasn’t easy either. The Androids A.I. it’s hard for me to explain what it does, and it works. Let’s say it's advanced enough to where it can evolve on its own. Thanks to this, I had to implement a heart in their chest. While the motherboard serves as their thoughts. The CORE holds their emotions, cheesy, but it works.

Luckily, everything else fell into place once I finished their A.I. Each has their own personality generated via binary code. In the event that I’m not here to see them; they have abilities equipped within them. Each has their own unique weapon based off their personality. Some may think its extreme, but honestly, in a crapsack world like this, they’ll need it.

It took me a total of ten years to build these four. The third android, my oldest daughter, took the longest. Meanwhile, the others took three years each. I blame myself for making her abilities complicated, but at least she’s fully functional.

…

It wasn’t easy hiding this project from my superiors. It was even harder with most of my friends. Especially Marco, that man is too smart for his own good. Every time I’d tell him that this is an engine I’m working on: he’d roll those eyes of his and say “Sure whatever.”

Whatever? Screw you, Marchrius!

Tarma wasn’t better. This guy would try and steal my diary every time he saw me with it. He read a few pages, but that’s all, I’d end up tackling him before he turns another page. I can’t remember the last time we fought because of my diary. I think it was after he was promoted?

Shit, I’m getting off topic.

As of writing this, the androids are in their pods being analyzed by the computer. This is to ensure that they have the ability to understand morality. Just the thought of my kids becoming killing machines terrifies me. At the same time, I don’t to wait until I’m old to see them wake up. At least I managed to improvise and shorten the years into months

I honestly can’t wait to see them! There’s so much I to see, so much to teach them, and maybe my older brother and his kids will get the chance to see their cousins!

Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll introduce them to both of my friends.

I just hope nothing bad happens…

DHA.

Document Saved.

What bond are these people talking about? A victim and a bully? Because it ain't no rivalry or "love."

I swear, these shippers are delusional at times.

In addition to my last post, I would like to add that I wish people would stop trying to make Izuku and Bakugou's canon relationship this super special intricate bond that we couldn't possibly comprehend because we don't understand their characters.

Because it isn't. Bakugou doesn't understand Izuku better than anyone else, he literally (CANONICALLY) spent a decade misinterpreting his intentions. Bakugou doesn't know what's best for Izuku, every time he "helped," he didn't actually help he either did nothing or made things worse (Blackwhip). Bakugou doesn't have Izuku's best interests at heart, he used a moment that was meant to help Izuku to redeem himself when it wasn't about him.

Even at the point where Bakugou is supposed to be redeemed, he still perpetuates his role as an abuser. The relationship is still catered to him and his feelings and what he wants. And as a result, Izuku is cast aside almost entirely.

So no, their relationship isn't this deep bond of mutual understanding and trust. It's a toxic, co-dependent relationship that caters to the abuser while constantly stripping the victim of his autonomy

My second attempt at watching MHA. Now I see why people like this show! An interesting premise, Cool music, and best of all, colorful characters!

Sees Bakugou being a piece of shit. Sees how annoying, trope'y, and poorly developed he is who wastes screen time. Said screen time can be used for underdeveloped (and much better) character's. Sees how he's worshiped by the fandom as being the best character in all of anime despite giving off Sasuke vibes.

Me: ....Bruh I hate you so much. Why do people like your ass?
