Vent

**Vent** is an S-Rank Maverick Hunter working for the 1st Unit.

## Appearance

Vent is a young boy with brown hair and green eyes. He wears a black, long-sleeve shirt and black pants, along with black, fingerless gloves. He wears a short, blue jacket and has yellow cuffs around his hands and feet. He wears white pants over his black pants and has blue shoes.

## Personality

Vent is known for jumping to conclusions rather than analyzing situations and confirming information from them, such as when he immediately assumed Mega Man X was a Maverick. However, he is still rather friendly around others, most notably treating X with far more kindness after the two reconciled over their misunderstanding.

## History

Not much is known about Vent's past. However, he joined the Maverick Hunters at some point, working for the 1st Unit. He became an S-Rank Maverick Hunter.

One day, Mavericks were detected at Central Highway and Vent was dispatched to get rid of them. However, in an attempt to expend the Maverick Hunters' numbers, he was sent without his partner Aile, who instead went to a desert to deal with Mavericks there. While doing so, he encountered Mega Man X and believed he was a Maverick, fighting him. However, Vent was knocked unconscious by one of X's Photon Missiles.

After recovering and being helped by X, the two explained to each other who they were, with Vent realizing he was wrong. He learned that X was Dr. Light's last creation and that Zero was responsible for Light's death. The two go their separate ways, with Vent fighting more Mavericks.

About a day later, Vent encountered X again, noticing that he was about to be killed by Cut Man. Vent saved X by destroying Cut Man's Rolling Cutter. This gave X the opportunity he needed to kill Cut Man. After killing Cut Man, X swapped the Nova Armor out for the Falcon Armor as he explained to Vent that he had enough materials that he could probably make two more armors. The two separated once again.

Vent kept travelling through Central Highway, concluding that all of the Mavericks were dead and that he could return to the rest of the Maverick Hunters. However, he was then attacked by Zero, who hurt his arm and stomach before retreating. Vent then noticed X up in the sky, now wearing his Ultimate Armor, and called out to him. X landed beside Vent, who informed him that Zero was in Central Highway, which X already knew. Vent told X that Zero was hiding in a three-story building, which X dashed to using his Emergency Acceleration System, telling Vent to join if he could still fight as he did so.

Vent followed X into the building and managed to save him from Zero at the top floor, teaming up with him. The two prepared to fight Zero, who then transformed into Awakened Zero and revealed what the Zero Virus did. Zero then easily defeated Vent by firing a Shingetsurin at him and knocking him down to the building's second floor.

As he was about to travel back up, X came downstairs, revealing that Zero had escaped. The two acknowledged that it would've been easier to defeat the Mavericks if Zero was dead, before beginning to leave the building. However, when they reached the ground floor, Vent accidentally hit a tripwire, but he was unsure of what it did. X eventually realized that it set off a bomb, so the two dashed toward the building's exit, but didn't make it in time. The bomb exploded, destroying the building, knocking X unconscious, and killing Vent.

## Skills

Vent is shown to be a skilled fighter. He was able to keep up with Mega Man X and Zero and destroy several Mavericks. Additionally, as an S-Rank, it can easily be assumed he is one of the best fighters among the Maverick Hunters.

### Model X

**Model X** is an armor that was created by the Maverick Hunters after they recovered data from Dr. Light's destroyed lab. Vent can activate Model X by holding one of his hands out in front of himself, causing it to appear. He can also make it disappear using the same gesture. Upon activating it, blue armor covers Vent's arms and legs. It also transforms his white pants into white armor that protects his waist and upper legs. He also wears a blue helmet with a red gem on its front. This helmet also has a blue line across it. It can also transform Vent's hands into arm cannons. These arm cannons have pink barrels.

When activated, Model X increases Vent's speed and durability, allowing him to keep up with and withstand attacks from Mega Man X and Zero.

Vent gains the ability to transform either of his hands into arm cannons, which he can use to fire small, yellow energy blasts. These arm cannons can be charged to fire small, green energy blasts or, if charged enough, small, pink energy blasts. When fully charged, they fire large, blue energy blasts.
