## Summary

**Lumine** is a major character and the true main antagonist of *Mega Man X8*. If the game is started on easy mode, Lumine will not battle the player, giving the game its "bad ending."

A new generation Reploid and the director of the Jakob Project, Lumine first appears after an incident on the Jakob Elevator which X went to investigate and Lumine presented him to X. Later, Lumine is "kidnapped" by the once again resurrected Vile, who with the help of other Mavericks has took complete control of the Jakob Elevator. After a long journey and after defeating Sigma yet again, Lumine comes down and applauds the Maverick Hunters, and reveals that Sigma was all along part of his plan, the plan to create a new world for New Generation Reploids which could go Maverick at will, revealing his true nature as the true villain. After a long battle resulting in the Hunters victory, Lumine was at disbelief at his defeat, but stated that it was too late as it already begun and after a tentacle attacked Axl's forehead, X fired a enormous shot at Lumine, completely obliterating him.

## Mentality

**Personality**: Lumine normally maintains the façade of a benevolent, if not somewhat eccentric, leader. He seems talkative and intelligent, able to easily surmise X's concerns as well as provide highly-detailed explanations, but with an oddly emotionally-detached demeanor. He appears very confident in the capabilities of New Generation Reploids such as himself.
However, in reality Lumine has gone mad with ambition. Upon revealing his true intentions to the Maverick Hunters, his tone changes drastically to something more wicked, accompanied by maniacal laughter. He arrogantly derides X, Zero, and Axl for being outdated Reploids who have no place in the future. He claims to have used Sigma, showing he is a patient and cunning strategist, and also crushes Sigma's remains with his foot, showing how little he cares for others. After he is defeated his face is shown stuck in an insane smile, and he indignantly shares his belief that the world will be compelled to approach his goals regardless of his death.

**Intelligence:** **Genius** (The director and supervisor of the Jakob Project, Lumine, was able to easily fool the others around him while hiding his true ambitions, revealing that even Sigma barely helped with his plan and is shown to be an extremely good fighter in battle.)

## Power and Stats

**Powers and Abilities:** Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Self-Sustenance (1, 2 and 3), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2: Is a robot), Accelerated Development (All reploids are based upon X's design, and thus they have access to unlimited potential), Regeneration (Rank D: Should scale far above all the Robot Masters who are all able to regenerate after being flattened), Flight (Is able to naturally float around), Aura (Generated an immense aura around himself), Power Mimicry and Absorption {Was able to copy the data of the eight Maverick bosses which granted him all of their abilities), Telekinesis (Is able to make orbiting orbs float around), Absorption (Is able to absorb his orbs to access their power), Crystal Manipulation and Creation (With Crystal Wall he is able to create giant crystals to attack his enemies.

**Dimensionality:** **3-D**

**Existential Status:** **Concrete**

**Attack Potency:** At least **Low Multiverse level** (Equally fought against X, Zero and Axl at the same time after they had defeated a newly resurrected Sigma, with Lumine being able to deal dangerous strikes to them while alongside using the weapons of all eight Maverick Bosses. By simply transforming, he was able to create a giant dimension containing a star which he casually destroyed. His defeated caused the complete destruction of his dimension as well and was likely one of the toughest foes in the X Era. Incapacitated Axl with a single strike), **far higher** with Paradise Lost (By using his attack's darkness, Lumine is able to create a good amount of power which can kill the player in one hit)

**Durability:** At least **Low Multiverse level** (Was able to tank many attacks from X, Zero and Axl)

**Speed:** **Massively FTL+** (Can keep up with X, Zero and Axl at the same time, being capable of reacting to many of their attacks)

**Lifting Strength:** **Class Z** (Should be comparable to X, Zero and Axl and is far superior to Rock)

**Stamina:** **Limitless** (Is a robot)

**Range:** **Standard Melee Range**, up to **Hundreds of meters** with attacks, **Stellar** with Paradise Lost

**Weaknesses:** His shields in his second form can be broken by charged attacks from X and sword slashes from Zero

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* First Form
* Second Form

* **Wave Wall:** Lumine absorbs the orange gem to use Earthrock Trilobyte's Overdrive Attack. He creates a series of crystal that move from one side of the room to the other, threatening to crush the player against the far wall.
* **Cube Falls:** Lumine absorbs the purple gem to use Gravity Antonion's Overdrive Attack. He summons a series of cubes that fall from the ceiling and shatter on the floor. The cubes follow the same pattern as Antonion's attack.
* **Youdantotsu:** Lumine absorbs the green gem to use Bamboo Pandamonium's Overdrive Attack. He pauses before lunging towards the player, dealing heavy damage with a straight punch.
* **Snow Crampons:** Lumine absorbs the white gem to use Avalanche Yeti's Overdrive Attack. He casts a gust of snow from one hand, causing giant snowflake projectiles to flutter down from the ceiling for a while.
* **Earth Crush:** Lumine absorbs the yellow gem to use Optic Sunflower's Overdrive Attack. He summons a laser sight to target the player, then calls down a beam of light. He performs this attack three times consecutively.
* **Flame Tornado:** Lumine absorbs the red gem to use Burn Rooster's Overdrive Attack. He floats to the center of the arena to unleash two mighty pillars of flame on either sides of the room, cutting off the walls all the way to the ceiling. These conflagrations burn for the rest of the battle.
* **Thunder Dancer:** Lumine absorbs the blue gem to use Gigabolt Man-O-War's Overdrive Attack. He rises to the top of the screen and rains three volleys of lightning over the entire arena, save for two safe spots. The lightning's targets are telegraphed via small particles beforehand. Like with Man-O-War, deploying a Crystal Wall with X acts as a lightning rod, drawing all lightning to one location.
* **Death Energy:** Lumine absorbs the black gem to use Dark Mantis's Overdrive Attack. He floats to the top of the screen and swipes once with each arm, projecting two giant slashes across the arena.

- **Oratio:** Lumine summons a barrier before each attack. It can be dispelled with Guard Break attacks. As the battle goes on, it gains more layers that require more attacks to fully dispel.

- **Refrain:** Lumine's four wingtips emit lasers that target the floor below the player's feet, following their location for a while.

- **Bel Canto:** Lumine emits a circle of light crystals, which enlarges to pass through the whole arena. There are gaps that the player can pass through safely. Lumine then emits a second one, then causes both circles to shrink back into his hands, forcing the player to pass through the pattern again.

- **Legato:** Lumine launches several sets of laser darts off-screen, which descend on the player diagonally in pairs for a while afterwards.

- **Gravé:** Lumine emits a stream of light crystals vertically off-screen, which then descend in rows across the whole arena. There are gaps that the player can pass through safely. Lumine then calls the crystals back up, forcing the player to pass through the pattern again.

- **Unison:** Lumine's first Overdrive Attack. He emits a stream of light crystals horizontally off-screen, which then return in rows across the whole arena. There are gaps that the player can pass through safely. Lumine then calls the crystals back, forcing the player to pass through the pattern again.

- **Paradise Lost:** When Lumine is at low health, he uses his final Overdrive Attack. After causing the screen to white out, the battle returns with a dark backdrop with blackness slowly creeping in from the sides of the screen. Lumine teleports around while hiding within his wings, forcing the player to use Guard Break attacks to open him up for damage. If Lumine is not defeated in approximately 30 seconds, the screen completely blackens and the player loses a life, forcing them to return to the battle with Lumine's first form again.
