Laplace

Laplace (ラプラス) is the Wizard partner of Solo/Rogue in MegaMan Starforce 3. According to the the game Laplace is the last EM Being from Le Mu, awakened after the continent Mu fell in to the ocean. He is unregistered under Project TC, while Solo/Rogue is registered as No. 002.

Because Solo/Rogue can already EM Wave Change by himself, he doesn't perform Wave Change with Laplace; instead, Laplace transforms into his sword, which he can use in both human and Wave Changed forms. This replaces his sword from the previous version, which he pulled from his left arm.

Game History
Very little is revealed about Laplace, other than his origins as the last EM Being from Mu. When Geo Stelar and his friends first see Solo in the third game, Laplace is already his partner. This lasts throughout the game, where Laplace is inseperable from Solo/Rogue, and where he is always pulled out at the beginning of a battle.

Just before MegaMan enters the Black Hole Server, he is challenged by Rogue to a fight to decide who will go fight Sirius. It is revealed then by MegaMan that while Solo rejects all bonds with humans, he feels a deep connection to his own culture, and Laplace along with it. This is why Solo has formed such a close partnership despite his normal attitude towards companions, and proves that he sees Laplace as much more than just a tool and that Laplace shares Solo's pain.

Name origin
Laplace is named after the mathematical transformation of the same name.

Trivia

 * In MegaMan Starforce 3 if you equip Humor Word, you learn that he enjoys deleting Solo's save files on the game Burger Quest as a prank.
 * Laplace never speaks once in the game. However Solo seems to able to understand the static-like sounds Laplace makes, and judging by Solo's responses it seems Laplace is something of a smart aleck towards his master and at one point even appeared to be teasing him. Solo's acceptance of this behaviour from Laplace, but not from others, would seem to further prove his bonds to his ancestors from Mu, but not to people of the modern world.


 * Laplace has three Battle Cards in the game:"SpinSword" 1,2, and 3.
 * Laplace may have been a reference to the ship with the same name in Lunar Knights, since there has been various crossovers between the Boktai series and the Starforce and Battle Network series before.
