A common theme is the exploration of Raiden's humanity. Since he is a cyborg, fanfictions often dig into how much of his human side remains. Another theme is the power struggle. Given the high - octane action in the game, fanfics often play with who has the most power and how it's obtained. Also, the idea of revenge is prevalent, as the title implies.
In 'Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance' fanfiction, a recurring theme is the relationship between man and machine. Raiden being a cyborg makes this a fertile ground for exploration. How does his cybernetic body affect his identity? Another theme is the fight against corruption. The game has elements of a corrupt world, and fanfics often expand on this, with Raiden at the center of the fight. Also, the theme of self - discovery is quite common. Raiden is constantly learning about himself, and fanfictions like to take this journey further.
Perhaps there could be a story where some of the Metal Gear Rising characters are reincarnated as ninjas in the Naruto world. They retain their memories and abilities from their previous lives. Raiden, for instance, could be reborn as a member of a minor ninja clan. He would then rise through the ranks, using his unique skills and determination, and eventually play a major role in the events that shape the Naruto world, all while trying to figure out why he was reincarnated in this strange new place.
Well, the theme of redemption can also be found in some 'Metal Gear Revengeance male reader fanfiction'. The male reader might have a past that they are trying to atone for, and their journey in the Metal Gear universe becomes a path towards redemption. Additionally, the exploration of power and its consequences is another theme. The male reader may gain new powers or abilities in the story and has to deal with the implications of using them, whether it's for good or bad.
The themes often include the struggle between man and machine. Given that the characters in Metal Gear Rising are often part - human, part - machine, fanfictions explore how they balance their human emotions and instincts with their mechanical enhancements. Power and its corrupting influence is another theme. With the powerful cybernetic abilities, some fanfictions show characters either succumbing to the allure of power or fighting against it. Additionally, the theme of loyalty is present, whether it's loyalty to a cause, a person, or an ideal.
One great 'Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance' fanfiction is 'The Blade's Redemption'. It delves deeper into Raiden's internal struggles post - game. Another interesting one is 'Rising Shadows' which explores the side characters more thoroughly. And there's also 'Revengeance Reimagined' that takes the story in a completely new and exciting direction.
One common theme is the combination of combat styles. The ninja techniques from Naruto and the acrobatic, high - tech combat of Metal Gear Rising often blend together. Another could be the exploration of different power systems, like how chakra and cybernetic enhancements interact.
Another way they could interact is through a trading of skills. Naruto, with his ability to create multiple clones, could teach this technique to the Metal Gear Rising characters. In return, Raiden could teach Naruto some of his sword - fighting skills. This exchange of skills could create new and exciting combat styles for both parties and also help to build relationships between the characters from the two different universes.
One common theme is the clash of different technologies. Metal Gear Rising has its advanced cybernetic enhancements and Mass Effect has its biotics and space - faring tech.
There's a fanfiction called 'Into the Warzone' in the 'Metal Gear Revengeance male reader' genre. It's quite interesting as it places the male reader in the middle of the chaotic war scenarios of the game world, with detailed descriptions of battles and strategies.
Another theme could be the clash of ideologies. The Metal Gear series has its own set of political and philosophical ideas, and when combined with Armstrong's views, it can lead to interesting ideological battles. For instance, the ideas of freedom and control in Metal Gear might contrast with Armstrong's more self - centered pursuit of power. Also, character growth is sometimes explored. How the Metal Gear characters and Armstrong might change or influence each other in terms of their personalities and goals as the story progresses in the fanfiction.
One common theme is power struggles. Since Metal Gear Rex is a very powerful machine, it often gets involved in battles or rivalries with other powerful entities in the crossover universes. For example, when crossed with a superhero universe, there might be a struggle over who is more powerful between Rex and the superheroes.
