"Hey sparkman? Are you there?"

Iceman had grown worried for his friend after he heard an earthquake had struck the powerplant -@askdln-005

My muse is missing after an earthquake. Call them by name to look for them. (Accepting!)

There wasn't much of a response. Ice Man's words echoed in the halls, bouncing off the walls of the power plant Spark Man and Elec Man worked in. The earthquake struck, and it was complete devastation to everything in a 10 mile radius, and that unfortunately enough included the powerplant.

Yet the city still had power. Though by the looks of it, they shouldn't. While the building was structurally safe, the generators all looked busted up. Yet the building still had power. In the distance, Ice Man would be able to see and hear some kind of buzzing and flashing. It was more noticeable when the lights flickered, but it was there.

S p a r k M a n

Serial No. DWN -- 023

Age: No age in mind at the time of his creation, let's say early 20's

Favorite animal: Catfish

Spark Man was originally created by Ra Moon from Dr. Wily's plans in the temple of the moon. He was programmed and even redesigned to be loyal to Wily, and only Wily.... Right?

Wrong. As soon as Dr. Wily began to execute his plan, they hadn't heard anything for days. Weeks. Spark Man was concerned, but he'd been convinced that Wily was fine. Then, the next thing he knew.... Things went dark for him, and all he could see was the symbol on Ra Moon.

When he came out of it, Ra Moon was destroyed, and Dr. Wily gave him new orders. Construction with his brothers and friends began almost immediately, after recruiting their 'adopted' brother, Shadow Man, and then they were set to steal the energy elements of Gamma.

And then... Loneliness. It was apart of the plan, yes, but Spark Man had never been alone that long before. He tried to keep positive, trying to communicate with his brothers daily, but... It wasn't the same. He missed dancing with Top Man, joking with Gemini Man, he missed his brothers, he missed seeing them, he missed them!! But... At least he could still talk to them, right?

...until they went silent. Eventually, Mega Man had faced and destroyed them all, and their voices fell silent. They were gone. They were all gone, and he was left alone! All alone!!

Fueled by nothing but rage and grief for his brothers, Spark Man vowed to be what destroyed Mega Man... Before he was defeated by Mega Man. That's when he learned that his enemy never wanted violence, and that he wanted to save them all along. Then things went dark yet again.

When he was reactivated, many of his brothers were there, and more were getting repaired by Dr. Light. He didn't have the Spark Shock, but it didn't matter to him, because all was right with the world!! Him and all his brothers would find a new place in the world and serve mankind for a purpose of good. He'd get to run around and laugh with Top Man and Gemini Man again! He'd get to complain about his lack of hands with Crash Man and Needle Man again! He'd get to live on with all of his brothers once again!

...right?

Unfortunately Spark Man wasn't that lucky. Half of them confessed that they would rather be shut down than be reprogrammed. Spark Man wanted to cry again, beg them not to go, but they all looked and seemed so determined, he really had no choice but to let them go. He lost eight of his brothers again, Gemini Man, Heat Man, Top Man, Crash Man, Needle Man, Magnet Man, Metal Man, and Quick Man!! They were all gone again after he'd just gotten them back!!

Spark Man hid it well, but he fell into depression after the loss. The second he was alone, he slumped against a wall and cried. Snake Man and Hard Man were worried this would happen, however, and kept a close eye on him, so after giving him a few minutes to cry it out, they both approached him and just held him close. Without them... Well, Spark Man didn't know what he would do without them there.

Afterwards, Spark Man began his new function at the electrical power plant with Elec Man, and he felt as alive as a Robot Master could feel again. It felt nice to do something constructive as opposed to destructive... Or constructive for a destructive purpose for once!! Plus Elec Man was pretty nice as well, so while moving on wasn't so easy, coping was made just a bit easier.

Spark Man is a people pleaser, and often has a hard time saying no to people, especially those he cares about. He's scatterbrained and empathetic to a fault, feeding into these tendencies, which makes him rather prone to gaslighting and manipulation. His brothers and close allies tend to know this about him and generally do their best to ensure he isn't taken advantage of, but sometimes they are just as guilty. Every now and then, Spark Man is hit with bouts of depression over the massive loss of his brothers, especially if he's left alone for too long, but it is yet to be a major cause for alarm, and the only thing he needs is company and reassurance.

[medleyofthepast]

@askdln-005 is being stubborn

Spark Man swallowed, clearly worrying about Ice Man's safety... But also not wanting to come off as annoying to him.

"A-are you sure?" He asked, the tips of his spark rods barely touching his bottom lip. "I-I mean, after all your name is Ice Man, not Really Stupid Hot Man." Although that would be a mouthful if he was....

Shipping Info

A little guide to give you some information about what characters are available for ship, what they like in a person, if shipping with this character is wise, etc. This is just a rule of thumb, so don't take the "shipped with" column too seriously, it's just a suggestion and some insight into what I personally think/what the ship between certain characters is intended to be. I am 100% multi ship. All ships will be tagged, so if one makes you uncomfortable, you are free to block that tag.

TaDC:

Angelette:

Orientation: Lesbian

Type: Badass biker chick type is preferred, but not required.

Shipped with: No one in particular, but I have cute ideas for a petname for Pomni and a ship name for her and Gangle.

Extra: She is ready to move on, but doesn't know how. Tries not to get romantically involved with NPCs

Mother 3:

Lucas:

Orientation: Straight

Type: He doesn't have a type perse, but he will only fall for a good, kind person.

Shipped with: Nana and him would be cute.

Extra: He's a bit young and traumatized to properly be ready for a relationship, but if he falls in love, he falls in love.

Duster:

Orientation: Bi

Type: He has very low standards, but he likes his girls pretty and his men strong and courageous. These are not required.

Shipped with: While I ship him with Kumatora, (I headcanon her to be like 18 when they meet) I'm not opposed to other ships.

Extra: As Lucky, he acts very confident and sure, but in reality, he's nervous and awkward, especially when it comes to adult topics.

Flint:

Orientation: Straight

Type: None

Shipped with: Hinawa

Extra: He is not ready to move on, and is unavailable for ships.

Gravity Falls:

Lia:

Orientation: Bi

Type: She likes someone who can give her constructive feedback on her stories, and someone she can have fun adventures with.

Shipped with: While I personally ship her with Dipper, I'm not opposed to her getting together with Mabel, nor am I opposed to exploring other options.

Extra: Being 12, she's at that awkward age when it comes to relationships, but the door isn't closed.

Next Gen AU:

Lia:

Orientation: See above

Type: See above

Shipped with: Dipper

Extra: Lia is married to Dipper and is very much closed off for shipping

Dr. Pines:

Orientation: Straight

Type: Intellectual

Shipped with: Lia

Extra: Dipper is married to Lia and is very much closed off for shipping

Auntie Mabel:

Orientation: Pan

Type: Unlike when she was a kid, Mable has much higher standards for a relationship than simply "being a boy" and "looking at her." Someone has to be kind to her family, especially her son, have a love for animals, and be willing to understand that her child will come first every time.

Shipped with: None (yet)

Extra: N/A

Celeste:

Orientation: Straight

Type: She doesn't really have a type, she in fact isn't particularly interested in romance.

Shipped with: None (yet)

Extra: N/A

Gene:

Orientation: Straight...surprisingly.

Type: He also doesn't have a type. Just be kind. He thinks freckles are cute, and fantasizes about having a girlfriend with freckles so he can kiss every one of them.

Shipped with: Unkown

Extra: He'd love to go to a convention with someone!

Mega Man:

Medley:

Orientation: Bi

Type: She doesn't really have a type, just don't be an egotist.

Shipped with: Medley is meant to act as a "bridge" between Mega Man and Proto Man, and while I ship her and Rock in the Mega/Giga Mix manga, in Archie I ship her with Proto Man, but I am more than willing to explore.

Extra: She's a dork and insults are her love language. Just be patient.

Rocket Man:

Orientation: Aro

Type: Himself

Shipped with: None

Extra: He's too in his own world for shipping

Tar Man:

Orientation: Straight

Type:He's more into pretty dainty girls.

Shipped with: None (yet)

Extra: He's a total creep, and while I do not recommend shipping with him, the door isn't closed to it.

Pitch Man:

Orientation: Aro

Type: Unkown

Shipped with: None

Extra: He's too reserved and doesn't care enough about others for a relationship.

Hydro Woman:

Orientation: Straight

Type: The fiery bots. Heat Man, Fire Man, those guys. She likes power and dominance over them, she likes to know she's pretty and has her man wrapped around her pumps like the stupid little puppies they are.

Shipped with: I ship her with Heat Man, typically.

Extra: Any relationship with her is probably toxic.

Voltage Man:

Orientation: Pan

Type: Unknown

Shipped with: None (yet)

Extra: Voltage Man is temperamental, self-absorbed, and almost maniacal. I can't say that a relationship with would be a healthy one, but it may not necessarily be toxic.

Dagger Man:

Orientation: Bi

Type: Quiet

Shipped with: None (yet)

Extra: Dagger Man is the type to keep to himself, and any ship with him will take discussion and work.

Archer Man:

Orientation: Aro

Type: N/A

Shipped with: N/A

Extra: Archer Man has more important things to worry about than romance.

Centaur Man:

Orientation: Gay

Type: Brave and intellectual.

Shipped with: Knight Man.

Extra: There's nothing saying Knight Man and Centaur Man will never break up, so while they are in a relationship in my direct canon, I am 100% multi ship.

Craft Woman:

Orientation: Pan

Type: Unknown

Shipped with: I ship her with Guts Man solely because of the size difference.

Extra: Craft Woman is a teacher- a teacher tasked with teaching the students whilst keeping them safe from each other. Understand that, although she's built to make decisions, she'll be too exhausted to make any once the last child leaves. While she is short, she is not "young," but do not treat her as a "loli" character. I will not ship her with child or child-like characters.

Pyro Woman:

Orientation: Bi

Type: The kind of people that REALLY know how to party.

Shipped with: I ship her with Bomb Man a little bit, they just seem like they'd be very compatible. I could also quite easily see her with Blast Man based on what I know of him, however as of 5/25/25 I have not played Mega Man 11 and have not looked anything up. (I want to be surprised.)

Extra: She is not the kind of person that relaxes by resting- she relaxes by running around and being crazy and doing stupid things so long as nobody gets hurt.

Scorpion Woman:

Orientation: Bi

Type: Unknown

Shipped with: Snake Man. For no other reason than pure aesthetics. Plus I find it interesting that she'd be attracted to a bad boy >:3c

Extra: Unknown

Skull Man:

Orientation: Aro

Type: N/A

Shipped with: N/A

Extra: Skull Man doesn't understand romance he struggles with maintaining friendships as it is.

Spark Man:

Orientation: Pan

Type: N/A

Shipped with: Ice Man

Extra: Ice Man isn't the only person I could see Spark Man with, dude is a people pleaser with anxiety and honestly doesn't have super high standards for himself. Just know that when he does care about someone, it's very intensely and very deeply.

Plant Man:

Orientation: Straight

Type: Kind hearted and kind to nature

Shipped with: No one.

Extra: Expectations are my plaything. That's why he's straight. At any rate, I am not against unrequited feelings, and I'm more than willing to ship with female robot master OCs!

Top Man:

Orientation: Bi

Type: Good dancing is a requirement, all else comes second. Good looks and a great sense of humor are great perks.

Shipped with: Star Man, Jewel Man. There will absolutely be more to come.

Extra: He loves to dance with his partners, and is very touchy feely with his lovers. I hope anyone that dates him is able to do everything with one hand, because Top Man will always be holding one of them.

Quint:

Orientation: None

Type: None

Shipped with: None

Extra: Quint is too depressed to seek out a relationship. This does not mean one isn't possible, however this will take a lot of work and support from his partner. Quint's programming has been fudged around so much that he doesn't know what his orientation is anymore. As a result, this data is subject to change.

“Don't worry! I-Ill find a way..” Iceman replied, still trying to push the generator, god. Yeah it would be easier if elecman was here.. but its just him and he didnt want to go back, especially at the risk of something happening to his friend

"I̵c̵e̷ ̴M̶a̶n̶,̷ ̵i̵t̵-̴i̶t̶'̵s̷ ̵d̷a̴n̷g̶e̸r̴o̷u̴s̸,̶ ̶I̷ ̴t̶h̵i̸n̶k̴-̶ ̴a̸h̷-̵!̸ ̷T̴h̸i̸n̵k̵ ̸t̷h̶e̶ ̴g̴e̶n̷-̸g̷-̵g̸-̶g̵e̴n̵e̴r̴a̵t̶o̷r̵'̸s̸ ̷g̵o̶n̵n̴a̶ ̴b̵l̸o̷w̷!̸" Spark Man warned as the dead generator on top of him groans in protest against Ice Man's attempts to free Spark Man. "A̵t̵-̸ ̸a̷t̵ ̴l̶e̶a̷s̸t̸ ̵I̷ ̸t̴h̷-̸t̴h̵i̸n̷k̸.̴.̸.̵ ̸C̷a̴n̵'̷t̸.̵.̴.̷ ̵C̵a̷n̸'̴t̶ ̷s̴e̶e̵-̷!" Spark Man's free arm twitched again, cutting power to the facility again for the second it broke contact with the generator.

"Hey sparkman? Are you there?"

Iceman had grown worried for his friend after he heard an earthquake had struck the powerplant -@askdln-005

My muse is missing after an earthquake. Call them by name to look for them. (Accepting!)

There wasn't much of a response. Ice Man's words echoed in the halls, bouncing off the walls of the power plant Spark Man and Elec Man worked in. The earthquake struck, and it was complete devastation to everything in a 10 mile radius, and that unfortunately enough included the powerplant.

Yet the city still had power. Though by the looks of it, they shouldn't. While the building was structurally safe, the generators all looked busted up. Yet the building still had power. In the distance, Ice Man would be able to see and hear some kind of buzzing and flashing. It was more noticeable when the lights flickered, but it was there.

[medleyofthepast]

Spark Man couldn't really see where Ice Man had gone after leaving his side. With the generator on top of him, he couldn't really turn his head much to follow where he'd gone.

Then, when the dial is turned, the power to the facility flickers, and Spark Man can feel the amount of electricity evening out. It wasn't a bad thing, in fact, it made keeping the generator stable a bit easier.

"I̷c̶e̵.̶.̴.̵ ̴M̷a̵n̸?̵ ̶W̴h̵-̶w̸h̸a̵t̷-̷ ̷d̷i̵d̶ ̴y̵o̴u̶ ̸d̷o̵?̴" Spark Man groaned.

[medleyofthepast]

Whatever Ice Man did worked, and Spark Man slowly pulled back his arm from the adjacent generator. He sighed in relief when he saw that it was stable, and showed no signs of danger or overload. For now. As Ice Man left to go... Whatever, Spark Man tried his best to pull himself forward, just to get a better look at the gauge out of his view. He wasn't able to get very far, and he winced in pain a few times, but he did manage to crane his head enough to see that the gauge was closer to the green mark, rather than the red like Spark Man had worried it had been.

"W̵e̴l̸l̸.̵.̶.̵g̴-̵g̶o̷o̴d̶ ̷t̴h̸i̸n̶g̶ ̸y̸o̴u̷ ̵d̷i̸d̶.̶.̴.̸ ̷O̵w̶.̸.̶.̴.̸" The generator on top of Spark Man finally lifted up some, and Spark Man crawled out as best as he could. The damage was pretty clear, dents and scratches in his armor, but the worst of it was on his left arm, where the metal rod was. The rod was completely smashed, most of it having been flattened by the generator. He hadn't seemed to notice it yet, but he knew something was wrong. Maybe he just needed a minute to collect himself, his processor was trying to do multiple things at once and he couldn't catch up yet.

[medleyofthepast]

Spark Man just kind of watched. He couldn't help but admire Ice Man for what he just did. Had he always been this... Heroic? And he just never noticed until now?

Once he realizes he's staring again, he can't help but avert his gaze as Ice Man looks back. He swallows, pointlessly, at his comment, feeling a weird heat on his face.

"H̶-̷h̴u̵h̴?̶ ̶O̴-̵o̵h̶!̴ ̶U̷-̷u̸h̷h̶,̵ ̷y̷-̶y̵e̸a̷h̷.̸ ̷Y̸e̷a̶h̸ ̶I̴ ̵g̴u̷e̴s̵s̸ ̷I̶.̵.̴.̸ ̶A̷m̴.̸.̵.̸.̵" What was going on with his head?! He felt so fuzzy and nervous, yet so calm.

[medleyofthepast]

Spark Man's head felt like it was swimming. He was still trying to process it all, but he looked Ice Man in the eyes and...

He didn't know what, but something changed. His panic subsided, and he felt a sense of calm. Then it hit him: Ice Man just saved him. Not the way Mega Man had, no no no, he had to die first for that, but now....

Oh lord, wait, he was staring!

"U-uhh, y-yeah! Right!" Spark Man honestly hadn't even registered what he said, not fully anyway. Spark Man shook his head to try and recollect himself, and stood up fully. Luckily, aside from a few dents and scratches, his legs were relatively undamaged, so that made following Ice Man's lead easier.

[medleyofthepast]

As Ice Man got closer to the buzzing, it was clear that something was causing the sparking to happen. Every time the flashes flickered, the power would flicker too. One of the generators had fallen over, and had a large, pointed metal piece sticking out to touch another generator. That's where the source of the buzzing and flashing was coming from.

Spark Man was equal parts concerned for him, as well as needing his watt power.

As for the generator itself, it wiggled around a bit, but still remained firmly on top of the crushed robot.

"I̵-̸I̴c̶e̵ ̴M̸-̵M̵a̴n̴.̵.̸.̶?̴" Spark Man groaned out once again, "D-døw̵n̶ h̷-he̴r̴ê..." His arm did not move from the active and damaged generator in front of him.
