Sonic
The first husbando to ever capture my heart. My first videogame. I was enraptured by the perceived speed of Sonic levels as a kid. Dying in Mario meant doing the whole thing over again so slowly but Sonic felt so quick! Then Sonic Adventure happened, followed by Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic X. I was completely lost in emerald green eyes and a good boy with a snarky attitude. Something in me went 'He's just like me! I'm sassy and kind too!' and I loved him like Narcissus and his reflection. I still have a ton of Sonic merch and I'll probably never stop being a Sonic fan given how deeply he affected my life. I used to be a forum mod. I used to run Sonic roleplays. I used to do everything you could probably imagine a Sonic fan getting up to. And that's why Sonic gets a spot here even if I no longer consider Sonic part of my ever-growing harem. He was first, and he belongs here.
Sasori
Probably the biggest outlier on this page and liable to be the only villain I ever fall for. Sasori is a compliated husbando because he's not here entirely on his own merits. Do I love mechanical and doll aesthetics? Hell yeah I do. Do I love his cold exterior that hides the fact he can never stop his caring emotions deep down? You know it. Do I think he is outrageously hot, including his voice in JP and ENG? YES I DO. Yet he's here because my beloved was a Sasori roleplayer when I met them. I fell for a (good) intrepretation of Sasori rather than the genuine article. Sasori gained more media after that further proved that version correct, but all the same Sasori is here because I am struck by nostalgia each time I see him. Like seeing a childhood photo of my best friend. I may also still indulge in SasoSaku and SasoDei fanfics. I love this edgy puppet boy and his wild red hair..
Shadow
There's an ongoing joke amongst my beloved and I, that we grew up into the characters we loved. I became the sassy and good-hearted Sonic, and he the edgy soft-hearted loner Shadow. I had outgrown my love of Sonic, but after Sasori I realized what I loved in my men was a tough exterior and a soft inner self that needed to be coaxed out. Shadow was a perfect example and how could I not latch onto a boy associated with an ill girl similar to myself? How could I not take all those fantasies of Sonic and place them on a more fitting character? Inevitably, I grew detached from him simply because I'm not quite that furry (but definitely some level of furry) but he has a soft place in my heart and thus belongs here too.
Megaman.EXE
Also known as Hub Hikari or Hikari Saito. A character most likely don't remember the details of. The anime did him no justice. The last three games simply ignored the truth. The setup to the reveal was as subtle as it was grand. He was alive, with Heart Beat Disease, and when he died his father put him into the computer and raised him to pretend to be a normal AI so he could live beside his family again.. But his parents can't acknowledge him until the truth is out and even then seem to ignore him. The other AI he has to interact with are not as sapient as he is. He lives behind a screen until the CopyBots in 6. I adore him. Kind and intelligent, with just a little sass when it's warranted. HBD is so similar to my own experiences, and I so desperately want to abandon my flesh for code and metal as he has. He is proof I could do so and still live among people. He is a kindred soul. My muse. I both love him and want to be him. So I do. I roleplay as Hub Hikari infrequently.
