#mmx iris

Said I’d draw something based on the poll so here you guys go! Haven’t drawn iris in a long while so this was fun.

Nurse Iris!

Iris as a nurse in the manga was interesting to see, but I wish her design was different from the games, so I made this—

About her design: No Red Cross, because that’s a symbol used only in war zones (and this is so serious that a pony from MLP had their cutie mark redesigned because of this; random fun fact, I know, but I like to talk) (she would have it during the Repliforce War, of course); my twin suggested me to paint her belt cyan instead of pink, and I think it looks better for this specific design; an heart rate in her chest because I thought it would be visually appealing, it will beep in times of trouble;

The rest of the design is just: random bullshit that was kept because I have no idea how to make it better 👍

(X, Colonel and Iris being this established trio, siblings and all that, then Zero comes along and he just stand out like an alien near them, but still sticks around is so fucking cute to me 😭)

———

(If he was a hunter in the AU, they would be closer for sure, but because he’s in Repliforce, just Iris is. She will also change units for a while here, when Repliforce was formed, but here I imagine she was going to train their navigators instead of being, well, a newbie; him and Colonel are more formal, they don’t spare… Colonel doesn’t like him very much, and X is his fucking nemesis/rival that WILL have problems with him for breathing wrong.

X is gonna be a menace here due to Colonel’s influence + the fact that here the trio know that he was a Maverick. The X-Hunters literally fought to have each other’s piece of Zero! He’s a dangerous weapon! He has amnesia, but Colonel is doubtful, so X also gets doubtful, but because he isn’t in a position of power, he can be more vocal about it.

(The idea is very simple: Dr.Cain created Reploids before he decided to release X from his shoebox, but, the reason why he took so long, even after the creation of the first line, was because he was trying to recreate X– that recreation would be his sibling!

X ended up with two siblings in the end, but the more the better– because we’re earlier in the story, the twins would work with the Hunters, Colonel would probably be Sigma’s left hand, Iris is their designated navigator.

Talking about Sigma, he’s kinda their older brother… but you know that half-sibling from father’s part, that’s 20 years older than you?

That’s him.

He doesn’t really have the same energy as the trio, not anymore, but he sees their enthusiasm and can’t help but feel hopeful about the future too. Colonel is close to him, as they both are Reploids created solely for combat, but Sigma actually seems more closer with Iris, probably because they seem to care a lot about the well being of the Hunters in general.

Doesn’t mean he doesn’t get along with X as well! They just don’t talk as much because he’s with Cain, helping in his projects.

X only joins the Hunters much later than them, which Iris wasn’t as enthusiastic as Colonel was when X told them…

Aaaaaaandddd… I don’t know, just some dumb shit like Colonel and Iris being protective of X to the point of almost suffocation cuz Damn, they KNEW he would have some trouble in the Hunters, but they don’t give space for him to improve on his own too 😭

Colonel motivates X to Never excite during their trainings, but when they are on the battlefield… let’s just say he isn’t as enthusiastic of X taking action. Meanwhile, Iris keeps a close eye on X, to see if anyone is picking on him, defending him all the time, + she speaking for him, as if he was a toddler.
