#aeolus mmzx

So I wanted to give some mild context to a line in For The Glory, For the Fame, since I don't think I explained it in-story too well:
Tumblr media
Aile's actually met Aeolus before, due to the merger of the company he represents as a lawyer with the remains of Slither Inc.
Having said that, though:
Tumblr media
Since the merger started, and ESPECIALLY after falling in with Albert/essentially disappearing off the face of the planet, Aeolus has been hunted down a fair bit by corporate saboteurs and assassins looking to halt the merger and take what's left of Slither Inc. for themselves. So he changed up his appearance a bit to try and throw them off - dyed his hair green (it was originally white due to his albinism) and grew it out, ditched the glasses and the fake lens that disguised the colour of his blinded eye. (A previous drawing of mine has him get the glasses back after the events of Advent :) )
This is also why in FTGFTF he's got Siarnaq as a partner; who better to stop assassinations than other assassins?
Had Aile - and even Vent - stopped to take a proper look at him and not been so frantic, they would've been pretty surprised and actually recognised him as "That Aeolus Siolen." However by the time he introduced himself he was already merged with Model H, and at that point all bets were off on whether or not the twins were going to throw hands.
Anyways just wanted to drop that but of lore in!

You know I always wondered what are all of your ships in the mmzx series... So you wouldn't mind telling me them all please?
Vent/Aeolus and Prairie/Pandora are pretty much the only romantic ships I have tbh. Technically Master Albert/Master Thomas is one too, but I don't really think of it as such, I just think it'd be funny.
if you consider ships to be non-romantic, then I also like Ashe and Siarnaq in a strictly qpr sense, and Aeolus and Atlas in a like, qpr/pseudo-romantic way.
Oh and I guess Red/Lazarus/Nicol is a ship too????? I genuinely do not think of it as one tho, I just straight up forget it's not canon because I can say "Ashe's parents" and most everyone here knows who I mean
edit to say, it’s not really a ship, but i do think Aile has a girlfriend who’s just. uninvolved with the Guardians. like it’s definitely one of those situations where everyone teases Aile for having a “girlfriend” but then her girlfriend actually shows up and everybody’s like “oh my god she’s real”

Okay last one I swear (for now that is hahaha, Ashe has an outfit but I haven't worked out the colour scheme)
Introducing the dudes! Minus Siarnaq and Thetis because I kiiiiinda forgot to add them/didn't have outfit ideas for them.
Tumblr media
Info on their outfits and individual pics in the read more below!
Tumblr media
Absolute fashion disaster/frat boy Vent! I like the idea that he's technically the powerful/manly of the heroes and I thought a letterman jacket would invoke those kinda "American Superhero" vibes. Having said that though, the top underneath is actually a sleeveless crop top paired with high gloves. Vent is also absolutely shredded and that crop top/glove combo is deliberate on his part to show that off. He likes having fun with fashion!
Puts a fair bit of effort into his hair, hence the bun, and threaded through it in pink are little neon bits that glow in the dark! I imagine they're very common in 24XX as part of clubbing getup.
Tumblr media
Poor Aeolus who is regretting his life choices right now; the other guys absolutely messed up his hair and popped his jacket collar.
His shirt is silk and has gold thread all woven throughout (I wish I had a thinner pen for that detail work!) and he's That Bitch™ who decided a frock coat was appropriate dancing garb. In his defence, he's a classically trained dancer and thought they'd miraculously gained a sense of class/style and decided to invite him out to an evening of "proper" dancing. Ie, with a waltz and a roulette of partners involved. Poor guy was quite disappointed!
As a note, he's also albino and legally blind in one eye (hence his fringe to cover it, he's a little vain!) and his eyesight isn't fantastic, hence the pince-nez style glasses. Ironically enough though, he's got the sharpest eyeliner of the entire group.
That jacket was an utter nightmare to colour
Tumblr media
Grey is just so happy to be here! Look at him, it's his first dude's night out!
But if his outfit looks familiar, it's because it was intentionally designed as a homage to Nero from DMCV. I think it looks good on him! So distressed denim jacket and a lovely comfy mahogany jumper underneath; cool, casual and ssstylish!
Having said that - there's little touches from the other Megamen in there. Aile lent him the necklace that she got from Giro as a good-luck/"come back safe and give it back" charm, so he and Vent are symbolically bros here, and the vaguely skull-shaped earrings he has on are a loan from Prometheus. Additionally, both Prometheus and Pandora argued over who got to do his eyeliner.
Pandora won.
Tumblr media
And then there's this bitch.
Absolute delinquent/greaser/biker vibes for Prometheus with his leather jacket; there's a cape-like bit at the back with a massive flame decal on it that he stuck in himself (I'll have to do a sketch of the jackets' back) and his turtleneck has silver thread to give it a chainmail like appearance. His sword earrings are based off of an actual pair I've seen in a shop, and the bright red eyeliner is something he wears to make his eyes pop and stand out under the bright colour of his hair.
The thing about Prometheus is, he's actually very vain and also took the time out to shape his eyebrows prior to going out; dude spent a million years fixing his eyeliner, picking an outfit, and meticulously messing up his hair.
The outfit may also look a little familiar, and that's because it takes some cues from @dumpsterfirepropaganda 's version of Prometheus from the absolutely delightful "It's That Damn Fluorescence," wherein he has the vibes of an "80's Greaser Vampire."
Pretty fitting imo!
This turned more into an analysis of the fashion and why they all dressed like this haha, but enjoy anyways!

Normally I'd wait to post more on that ZX/A art project, but I really love how their faces came put, so!!

Behold the Four Doofuses from Advent!!
I hope they still give off the same vibes they did in the game with the more realistic style.
Because let me tell you, they all gave me a decent amount of grief trying to adapt! In particular I didn't want Aeolus to look too close to my rendition of Prometheus, or Thetos too close to Grey.
Who's your favourite of the Four and why? :D

Captain America, are you off to fight the bad guys?
Hey, mighty Superman, can you save us from ourselves?
Hey, Mr. Universe, can you lift us up above this?
'Cause I'm just Iron Man, I'm a ghost within a shell
Take a look around, just look around
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention, what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine, or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems
We're all living the dream
- Living the Dream, Five Finger Death Punch
So I heard this song and couldn't help but think it really hit a chord for most of the Megamen in ZX and Advent, for quite a few reasons, and the idea to draw something based on it wouldn't leave my head. You can tell who I haven't drawn merged before, haha.
Lyric explanations under the cut.
Captain America, are you off to fight the bad guys?
Hey, mighty Superman, can you save us from ourselves?
Vent and Aile, respectively, as to me they embody the classical heroes of comic books (especially Vent) and since they're kinda the OG heroes in ZX, it felt like there was a pretty good thematic correlation here between them and the kinda quintessential Cap and Superman.
Hey, Mr. Universe, can you lift us up above this?
A play on Atlas' namesake, the god who held the world up - but also I can definitely see a reformed Atlas being a hero who is very good at search and rescue due to her immense strength. That, and she's always putting on a front to appear strong.
'Cause I'm just Iron Man, I'm a ghost within a shell
Self explanatory for Siarnaq, I would say. Ghost within a shell is quite evocative of him.
Take a look around, just look around
Grey is still observing the world, still learning it's ropes. Endlessly inquisitive, endlessly thoughtful, the quiet observer.
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Semi-spoilers for FTGFTF but Aeo wanted to do good in the world (this is the line that originally had me linking this song to the ZX/A crew!), and at every turn it seems he's blocked by something. Model W corrupting him has absolutely not helped with this, as he's committed heinous acts in the name of hopefully achieving peace.
Why did they never mention, what's real and in between?
Ashe, learning the truth about the twins. That they're not unrepentantly evil, and it shakes her worldview.
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
Ahh, Thetis. You're doing your best to save the environment, but this ground is already blood-soaked, and you're adding more blood to it.
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine, or so it seems
Prometheus and Pandora, living day by day by day, unwitting cogs in Albert's master plan.
And everyone else, believing that they're the ones partially responsible for the machine.
Anyways, enjoy.
