Hot on the heels of my last crazy theory comes yet more wild speculation with very little actual basis in fact, today’s topic being the innovators. Unlike my speculation on the Seravee’s remaining secret this is based on next to nothing, at least my previous theory had some basis in logic. This one is on why the skittles squad all have a twin.
Basically my theory is quite simple, for some unknown reason, be it deliberate or an unavoidable result of the method they’re created with, the innovator’s have a built in psychological need for a partner. Looking at each innovator and we see some results that seem to corroborate this:
Bring and Devine both had their identical partner with them and were probably the most normal of the innovators, neither of them were quirky in the slightest. Also when Bring was killed, Devine did want revenge for him despite trying to hide it when speaking to the other innovators.
Revive is only slightly more quirky than Bring and Devine, which could easily be explained by the fact that, being without Anew, he attached himself to Bring. He was easily the most pissed off when Bring got killed as well.
Right, that’s the slightly less amusing innovators out of the way, next we come to to more interesting ones for these purposes.
First up; Ribbons, he was almost certainly the first innovator and as far as we can tell he existed without any form of partner for a long time. I would not be shocked if his god complex was partially caused by him being alone (and as the first innovator he would almost certainly have had an inflated opinion of himself).
Hilling is slightly interesting, she does have a pair in Ribbons, but unlike all the other pairs there is a significant amount of difference between them. I’ve been suspecting for a while that maybe when Ribbons had the other Innovator’s created, he was repelled by the idea of having someone identical to his marvellously perfect self, he could always think of the other innovators as being inferior as he made them, but someone absolutely identical to him would go against everything he believes about himself. Thus Hilling might always have the concept that she is slightly inferior to how she could have been, which leads to her fawning Ribbon~s complex in an attempt to prove herself to be better than all the other innovators in his eyes.
Anew is a bit of a weird case, there’s no evidence for or against this but it is possible that a large part of the reason she went to Lyle was her subconscious need to have a partner. There’s nothing to really suggest this but I thought I would mention it for sake of completeness.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tieria is a similar case to Anew, when he wasn’t really fond of any of the other people on Ptolemy he was a right jerkass, but once he started to open up to other people he became one of the nicest people ever. Neil’s death possibly hurt him so much because he was ‘partnered’ to him, and the fact that he hasn’t gone back the way is because he managed to ‘partner’ to everyone on the Prolemy. It would also possibly explain his being an absolutely adorable big brother figure to Mileina (oh god it’s so moe I sometimes think I’ll die).
Finally we come to Regene, everybody’s favourite NEET, well I’ve always held a little suspicion that under his rather troll like exterior he genuinely wants tobe with Tieria. It would explain why he got him to meet with Ribbons with a view to joining the innovators, whichever way Tieria decided then it presumably would not have advantaged Ribbons’ plan (given how little he cares about it) so the only possible reason I can think of is to either get Tieria to be on his side, or to get him to have even more resolve to oppose Ribbons.
Well yeah this is very possibly 90% bollocks but it was an interesting line of thought for me anyway.
