The concept of identity is also quite common. Both Neo and Smith have complex identities. Neo is 'The One' but also a human with his own doubts and insecurities. Smith is an Agent turned self - aware entity. Fanfictions often dig deeper into these identities, exploring how they are shaped by their experiences, both within and outside the Matrix. For instance, stories might show how Neo's identity as a hero is challenged when faced with a more complex and morally gray Smith.
One common theme is the exploration of power dynamics. Neo and Smith have very different types of power within the Matrix universe, and fanfiction often plays with how they interact and either compete or cooperate based on that power. For example, in some stories, Smith tries to overpower Neo using his ability to replicate, while Neo uses his connection to the Source.
Sure. One popular piece of Human Smith Neo fanfiction is 'The New World of Neo and Smith' which explores an alternate reality where Neo and Smith have to team up against a new common enemy. It's full of action and some really interesting character dynamics.
In fanfiction, their relationship could be developed by exploring their similarities. They are both unique entities within the Matrix. Neo is the One, and Smith is the virus - like Agent. By delving into how they both are outliers in the system, they could start to understand each other on a deeper level. This could lead to a complex relationship that is part rivalry, part reluctant alliance.
Their relationship could develop through shared experiences. For instance, if they both get trapped in a malfunctioning part of the Matrix. They have to rely on each other's skills. Neo's ability to manipulate the Matrix and Agent Smith's knowledge of its inner workings would be crucial. This would lead to a grudging respect between them.
One common theme is power. Often, fanfictions explore how Cinder and Neo gain and use their power, either together or separately. Another theme is loyalty. They are both complex characters, and fanfictions might question their loyalty to each other or to other parties. For example, in some stories, Neo might be loyal to Cinder only as long as it benefits her.
One common theme is friendship. Often, the OC and Neo start off as strangers or even enemies and gradually develop a friendship. For example, in some stories, they learn to trust each other through shared battles or experiences.
One common theme is adventure. Since Matt Smith played the Doctor in Doctor Who, a lot of fanfiction continues the tradition of sending his character on wild and exciting adventures across time and space.
A common theme is redemption. Often, the female OC helps Neo find a new sense of purpose or redemption in his fight against the machines. For example, she might show him a different perspective on the Matrix world that he hadn't considered before.
One common theme is adventure. Neo and the reader might go on a journey together through the world of Remnant, facing various Grimm and other challenges. Another theme is mystery, like the reader trying to figure out Neo's true intentions or past.
Common themes include transformation. Neo goes through a significant transformation, not just in her actions but also in her perception of the world. She starts to see the value in the things the heroes fight for. Another is the theme of acceptance. The other characters in the RWBY world have to accept that Neo is trying to change. This can be a difficult process, especially for those she has wronged in the past. And the theme of second chances, which is at the core of any redemption story, is very prominent in RWBY Neo redemption fanfiction.
