Mega Man X

# ***Overview***

Mega Man X, simply known to most as "X", is an advanced human-liked robot, otherwise known as a Reploid, originally built sometime in the late year of 20XX, before being sealed in a capsule initially for thirty years, but finally released after 100 years into the year 21XX.

This iteration of X varies in style depending on the Armor set, from the SNES Era to the PSX Era for now.

X mostly retains his personality based on his last mainline series appearance in Mega Man X8, kind yet determined. He can be a little confused at times when interacting with some people he's never met before, but he's a quick learner.

## ***Appearance***

X's armor consists of Blue and Light Blue colors, with white hands. His helmet uses red gems on top of his forehead as a slim downward triangle shape, with black ear cuffs on both sides of the helmet. Although not always depicted in his pixelated appearances, X has Emerald Green eyes.

## ***Personality***

X is a strong pacifist at his core, but he also knows when he needs to step into the fight. He always thinks over his actions, due to a special system integrated within him that allows for human-like thought and emotion. Like his predecessor before him, he also carries a strong sense of justice, willing to do whatever it takes to protect humanity. It's difficult to truly anger X, even when it comes to mavericks, as he's been through at least eight full on wars in his time, losing friends, fellow hunters, and innocent reploids along the way.

# ***Abilities and Gear***

The famous Maverick Hunter has a basic but useful set of abilities and armor always built in during any of his missions, as well as a vast variety of tools and armor upgrades that give X an immense boost in power, speed, or even new abilities.

## Jet-Thrust Boots

These high powered legs allow X not only to control himself in the air, but also swiftly propel himself forward using the jet thrust systems within the gems under his feet. These allow him to traverse any land with little to no trouble.

## X-Buster

The Mega Buster Mk 15, otherwise known as the X-Buster. this egg-shaped arm cannon has been X's main offensive tool since he first stepped foot into the battlefield. Using the solar powered energy core within him, X fires out a basic bullet made of condensed solar energy, while not too threatening on it's own, it can be used rapidly until a quick cool down to dispatch simple enemies.

If he needs a boost, X can charge this energy to fire a cannonball of this energy, easily taking care of whatever is unlucky enough to be in the way.

## Variable Weapons System

If his standard X-Buster isn't enough, X has access to various weapons he copied from the tons of Mavericks he's fought and retired in his time. Missiles, torpedoes, lasers, elemental weapons, blades, even time itself is a weapon in X's vast arsenal. If there's a situation that calls for it, X more than likely has the right weapon for the job.

The only downside to this collection of weapons is the fact that it doesn't use his primary solar energy. These come from the Buster's separate core that allows the weapons to be fired, which requires ammo pools.

## Z-Saber

Occasionally X will wield the Z-Saber, the iconic weapon that belongs to the just as iconic fellow hunter and best friend to X, Zero. While not as skilled with the blade as it's owner, X is just as much as a threat when carrying it, usually performing a large swing to cut through mavericks.

If not carrying this weapon, X has other similar weapons that his skill with the Z-Saber translates well with.

# ***Armor Upgrades***

While still capable with his usual set up, if he needs a boost during his battles, X has a wide variety of upgrades that can boost his attack, speed, and defense capabilities, as well as even granting him super moves of sorts depending on the set. Most sets of armor include various trends of upgrade types, such as access to charged special weapons and reduce damage. These won't always be noted, unless otherwise.

## The First Armor (Light Armor)

The original and most iconic set of armor in X's collection. This is the set that started the various trends seen in most of his upgrades, such as the dash boots and enhanced charging capabilities of his X-Buster.

The X-Buster's charge upgrade provides the deadly Spiral Crush, the fourth level charge shot. When fired, a string of pink shots emerges from the Buster as it shreds through most Mavericks.

The Arm Parts even begin the other iconic trend of X's special weapons being chargeable to not only unleash tougher variants of the original shot, but even an entirely different result, such as a force field, camouflage, or limited time transport. Not seen in other sets however, is the Head and Foot Parts' ability to break down certain materials under their pressure.

With all four parts equipped, X can also tap into the soul of his core, unleashing a deadly fireball otherwise known as the iconic Hadouken.

## The Second Armor (Giga Armor)

Another iconic set which also introduces abilities later seen in the other sets. The Second Armor was originally an upgrade of the previous First Armor, before being recreated into it's own set.

The Foot Parts upgrade X's dash capabilities further, allowing X's jet thrust to be performed mid air, allowing even higher traverse capabilities.

The Head Parts contain the Item Tracer, a system that allows the hunter to locate nearby objects of importance and hidden pathways.

The Arm Parts gives X another type of fourth charge, the Double Charge-Shot. This function allows X to perform two charge shots back to back, usually switching from one arm to the other in a punching motion.

The Body Parts not only increase defense, but with enough energy stored in the solar panels, X can unleash the devastating Giga Attack, a large aura of energy. If it doesn't completely wipe out every enemy in range, it will most certainly leave them severely damaged.

Like the Light Armor, once all four parts are downloaded into X's data, he has the ability to perform a swift and flaming uppercut, named the Shoyruken.

## The Third Armor (Max Armor + Hyper Chips)

This is X's Max Armor, the set he used during the fight against an infected Dr. Doppler. This set was also originally an upgrade of the previous Second Armor, but recreated as it's own set.

The Foot Parts not only give X his mid-air dash like the previous armor, but also was the first to let X perform an upward dash.

The Head Parts give X the Item Radar, a map of the entire area he's traversing rather than a single room, giving him an exact location of possible secret rooms or items throughout the area he's currently ocupying.

The Arm Parts give X a new type of Double Shot, allowing him to combine both shots into a wide spread shot.

The Body Parts enhance X's defense levels even further, encasing him in a temporary force field if under attack.

This armor also includes a special chip, originally given to him from a special capsule. This chip allows X to tap into the armor's hyper mode, giving it's visuals a shiny golden glow up and giving each part enhancement an extra boost.

## The Fourth Armor (Force Armor)

The Fourth Armor, X's set used during the war against Repliforce, showing small signs of decay in it's powers during the Eurasia incident. This set was eventually repaired, not to it's original state, but still better than before.

The Foot Parts add a hover function in X's boots, allowing him extra air time to avoid grounded attacks.

The Head Parts increase X's ammo capacity percentage by 70%.

The Body Parts allow X to perform a deadly mid air dash once enough energy is gathered, otherwise known as the Nova Strike.

The Arms Parts initially came as two switchable types, now only using the Stock Shot Buster. The Stock Shot allows X to hold up to four Charge Shots before needing to recharge again.

## The Falcon Armor

This is X's flight-based armor, centered more around mid-air movement than anything else. This set was the first of two new sets during the Eurasia incident, later repaired in a worse condition while X fought against the Nightmare Virus to restore the world. This set was much luckier than the Fourth Armor, being fully recreated to it's original specs and even improved upon in certain aspects.

The Foot Parts give X the ability to fly for an extended amount of time and damage his opponents upon contact. This is known as the Free-Move.

The Head Parts only increase X's special weapon ammo capacity by 60%.

The Body Parts unlocks a new type of Giga Attack. When unleashed by X, a large amount of the area surrounding him will be swarmed by a storm of spear-type attacks upward and downward.

The Arm Parts change X's charge shot to the Spear Shot, a high-powered shot that penetrates most terrain, surfaces, and shields.It's second unique trait is the lack of a Special Weapon feature that allows them to be charged.

## The Gaea Armor

A prototype built by Dr. Light, the Gaea Armor focus heavily on it's defense capabilities. This set was the second of the two new sets during the Eurasia incident. This set was given only a sight improvement since then, but was unable to be separated into parts, and X can only access it's features while the full set is equipped.

The Foot Parts make this set one of two other armors that allow X to stand on spikes or similarly sharpened terrain without suffering fatal wounds. These also allow the hunter to cling onto walls without sliding down, effectively sticking onto them.

The Head Parts initially had no identifiable use, but now let X head butt enemies and break destructible terrain (Like the First/Light Armor), but also survive fatal spike attacks to the head area.

The Body Parts receive yet another type of Giga Attack. X can charge a ball of energy into his hands, before unleashing it into the face of Mavericks, causing rapid and large amounts of damage. This move looks closest like the Hadouken, only the energy attack remains in front of X instead of being thrown like a fireball.

The Arm Parts change X's Buster specs, only allowing up to two charge levels. The first level is on the same level as X's default level 2 shot. The full-charge however, unleashes the Gaea-Shot: A large, incredibly powerful blast of green plasma energy. While this shot doesn't reach too far before fading away, it can effectively erase other opponent's projectiles.

# ***Relationships***

## **Zero**

Zero is an SA-Rank Maverick Hunter, part of the 0th Unit. This red reploid was originally built as an ultimate combat robot by Dr. Wily, sealed away before unleashed in 21XX and killing many innocent reploids and Maverick Hunters until he was defeated by Sigma, the leader of the hunters at the time and taken back to hunter base with his memories as a Maverick erased. He was then given a new position as a Hunter alongside X.

Since that day, Zero fights by X's side against the former leader, Sigma, who had become a Maverick himself. X considers Zero a very close partner, caring for his safety, even willing to fight him if he were to be infected into a Maverick.

These two share such a close and unbreakable bond that you could assume they had feelings for one another.

## **Ness**

Ness is a young boy in the year 199X with psychic abilities, dubbed PSI. He once saved his world against Giygas alongside three of his friends. X himself sees this young fighter as an ally, surprised of his PSI abilities, despite scanning him as human.

A notable moment between these two is their battle against the damned Ban-Ban and his group, from the Garten of Ban Ban chapters of games.

Ness comes from the world of Earthbound, otherwise originally known as Mother 2 in Japan.
