PCN-X3 Ryukyu

## General Information

PCN-X3 Ryukyu is the third reploid in the warmongering PCN-X series. She is the second female of the four bots, the first being Nekomi. She is the fighting robot master of the sea, having two forms for ease of movement both in the water and on land. Her first is a standard, humanlike body with crystalline designs beneath her skin (Faceclaim is KOS-MOS from Xenosaga), while the other is a mermaid-like figure that can travel underwater at speeds enough to rip the flesh from any regular human being.

## Appearance

In terms of appearance, Ryukyu could be considered attractive by some. She has long blue hair that reaches to her lower back and a slim, toned figure. She is 5' 11", weighs 120 lbs, and she is physically 19 years old.

## Activation and Release

Ryukyu was in prototyping for months before her activation, and even then she had to undergo rigorous testing to ensure that she was up to the task of holding her own both in the water and on land. Due to this, despite her originally being scheduled to be PCN-X2, she became the third reploid in the series.

After she was officially activated and sent to protect the Heartlands, Ryukyu was initially very cold. She was not interested in any sort of relationship or emotion, despite having the full ability to have both, unlike her preceding brother PCN-X2 Orion. She kept to herself, interacting with others only to collect necessary information.

## Meeting PCN-04 Elpis

A week after activation, the Mer-loid heard a disturbance in the living quarters, and upon investigation, she found PCN-04 Elpis. Annoyed by his snarky comments and casual attitude, she snapped at him, storming away not long after entering. She didn't realize it at the time, but Elpis had helped her feel her first emotion: Anger.

A few days after, Elpis found Ryukyu at the beach and began taunting her. She tackled him into the water, engaging him in a battle that left her nearly unscathed and him with two holes stabbed through his chest. Ryukyu, at first simply following her programming, picked up the injured stardroid and took him to the infirmary. During the fight, Elpis had revealed that he couldn't lose to a PCN-X because if he did, he wouldn't be able to protect his sisters. Ryukyu, after begrudgingly accepting the boy's actions as somewhat bravery, let down her guard. She felt emotions.

Before Elpis left after the repairs he needed, she kissed him.

## Ultron's Mavericks Arc

Many weeks later, a disturbance in Heartland City drew Ryukyu to fighting Omega Zero (Post-Death Egg), a battle that she lost, though barely. She punched three holes in his chest and stabbed him twice more from the inside during the battle, though when he aimed his buster at a nearby cliff that would put many in danger of falling, she placed herself in harm's way. The force of the fully charged shot knocked her unconscious.

Ultron, Omega's ally, sent sentinels to pick up the injured battlers and take them to his base. When Ryukyu awoke, she refused to give the known enemy any information. He offered to repair her many wounds, and she begrudgingly agreed.

While unconscious during the repairs, Ultron downloaded a dormant carrier gene of the Maverick Virus into Ryukyu. This Virus would make Ryukyu act no different, but any Reploid she came into contact with would instantly go Maverick and start going insane.

When Ryukyu checked her storage system and found the virus, she sent a frantic video message to Christian that she'd been infected. Ultron activated the virus within her, and she went insane, destroying her own home and fleeing. Ultron threatened to destroy all of Heartland City should the Mer-loid be cured.
