REPLOIDS
Artificially created androids that were given sentience, giving them feelings and intelligence comparable to humans. They were originally designed for the aid of humanity, but have since integrated themselves into society and have become their own people. They are near identical to humans and, in some cases, can only be differentiated by the plates over where their ears would be. Other times, they are easily distinguishable by their build, being more bulky, tall, or slender to fit the role they were designed for.

PSEUDOROIDS
Often referred to as Falseroids, these androids share the sentience of they're reploid counterparts, but are distinguished by having more animalistic features than human ones. Also, unlike reploids, pseudoroids are created through bio metal, from which they gain their abilities and strengths from. In the past, pseudoroids were seen as beasts who could turn Maverick at any moment, but with recent events, they have been created to aid in the fight against Crimson Nova.

BIO-METAL/FORCE METAL
Two forms of power that have been used throughout history for many, many purposes. While Bio-Metal was created as a means to power chosen reploids and for the creation of pseudoroids, Force Metal was created as a power source for machines and tools, and can even be used to enhance and upgrade reploids and pseudoroids alike. Many experimental, illegal, and dangerous forms of Bio-Metal and Force Metal have been created throughout history and have lead to many threats to humanity. Crimson Nova is a prime example that humanity is doomed to repeat past mistakes.

MAVERICK
A term given to robots and/or androids who have essentially gone rogue, whether through the means of a virus, an error or glitch in their systems, or just because they choose to. Mavericks seek their own goals and will achieve them no matter what, usually at the cost of human and reploid lives. Maverick Hunters were created to oppose the rogue intelligences, and are instructed to do whatever it takes to apprehend, or in most cases, destroy/kill the Maverick.

Serial Number: LX-2972A

Name: Lex

Codename: Duster

Race: Reploid

Gender: Male/He

Personality:
While largely a secretive sort, Lex still adheres to a personal code of honor that demands trust between squad mates. It can be viewed as paradoxical at times, as Lex rarely talks about himself and clams up whenever anyone presses him for personal information. He doesn't have any strong views regarding the Crimson Nova. Overall he treats the crisis as little more than a job he is contracted to complete. He comes off like a mercenary because of these views, but one who is also a man of his word.

Biography:
Lex was first created almost 30 years ago. And unlike most Reploids, who are built with almost superhuman appearances, Lex was curiously designed to much more accurately resemble a human being, from his build to even his facial features. The purpose for his creation was, at the time, considered questionable at best. In most states, it is often illegal for Reploids to be created to resemble real life people due to ethical debates. But one robotics engineer, Jared Statler, risked his reputation and career to ignore those laws when he created Lex. He had recently lost his son Alex, a law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. Wracked with grief, Jared believed that Lex would be a way for him to still have a son.

The creation of this Reploid reignited the ethical debates, with some viewing Jared's actions as understandable while others believed he was losing his mind to do such a thing. As for the Reploid himself, Lex remained benign enough at first. But issues soon arose as the human memories he'd been programmed with began to clash with the more hard-lined logic of the Reploid. It sent Lex spiraling into an existential crisis, seemingly unable to discern whether he was the human named Alex or Reploid LX-2972A. He lashed out and attacked Jared when the latter tried to calm him, resulting in Jared Statler's death. For most people, that was it. The Reploid was largely believed to have gone Maverick and thus orders were given for Maverick Hunters to bring him in.

Lex ran, but had no combat capabilities, and so the Hunters caught up to him without much effort. But they didn't count on Lex's personality codes going haywire enough that he triggered his own self-destruct sequence. Lex exploded and the blast took out the Hunters that were bringing him in. For the most part, it appeared the case was closed. But LX-2972A hadn't quite perished that day, his body was in pieces but much of his CPU was still in tact. His parts were gathered by scavengers who sold them to a buyer on the black market. That buyer used the surviving parts in addition to foreign parts he possessed to rebuild the self-destructed Reploid. When reactivated, the Reploid reacted as if he were still being chased by Maverick Hunters and tried to flee. He was now equipped with weapons and even armor that allowed him to force his way out to freedom. He spent a long time after that in isolation, eventually able to repress the human memories and fully embrace himself as a Reploid. That was when he gave himself the name Lex, the name having come from the first two letters of his serial number, "LX".

Since he had apparently been redesigned for combat, Lex was found himself doing occasional mercenary work. Crimson Nova was in full swing by this point, and so whatever controversy had arisen from his original creation had been all but forgotten. And even if there were still some that remembered the incident from 30 years ago, Lex's combat overhaul had provided him enough alterations to his physical appearance that he no longer resembled what he looked like back then, at least not while he was donned his combat armor form. His most recent job was as part of a unit that was about to make a routine patrol in the Quarantine Zone.

Weaponry/Abilities: Lex's combat overhaul is based largely on technology that predates the use of Bio-Metal. As such he is instead equipped with a hand blaster and energy saber, common weaponry for Reploid units. In addition to that, his leg armor is equipped with thrusters meant for dashing on the ground and flying/hovering for short periods. The coat he wears is made from a synth-fabric capable of altering its colors. That combined with his armor's ability to do the same allows him to blend into backgrounds and surroundings for stealth purposes. His combat armor is of course designed for long-term sustainability, able to reduce battle damage a considerable amount and also capable of draining shield and weapon energy from fallen foes in order to replenish its energy while out on the field. Lex himself has been programmed with an adaptability combat protocol that allows him to rapidly analyze and master the use of any weapon he comes into the possession of outside of his own.

Misc: TBD

Serial Number: NU-FOX-2GV

Name: Swift Fox

Codename/Nickname: Because of some issues he has with self-identity, Swift prefers to just be called by name.

Race: Pseudoroid

Gender: Male/He

Appearance:

Swift is a humanoid-fox varient Pseudoroid made for agility and quick movement while delivering energy barrages onto the enemy. He has somewhat the look of being mass-produced, and that is part of the problem in his life...because he was. You don't generally see a mouth on the guy, even though you can hear him talking clearly. The reason for this is that he prevents easy damage to his face by sealing it up seamlessly with the same Bio-Metal effect that forms the guns in his hands or alters other parts of his body for combat.

Personality:

Right off the bat, the main thing has to be that Swift has issues with his own identity. He is unique, and yet not so unique. He's distinctly identifiable among others, but that's because there use to be so many of him, or rather Pseudoroids of his type. It's a little complicated for him, having everybody know something about him except he himself. Oh, he understands his history, or rather the history of his 'kind', but he wasn't created with any memory of it, any prior programming. He is his own being, from start to finish. It's just that the legacy is a problem.

In spite of that, or maybe because of it, Swift is a fairly-decent get-along guy. He tries to be helpful to others so that they can see past...well...the past, and just accept that he is who he is, not what others were. The general distrust of Pseudoroids hits him, sometimes, and every time someone calls him Nu-Metal or just Fox, he can't help but feel sour and frustrated. He wants to be known and remembered than something better than the serial number on his chest, more dignified and better understood with-

DESTROY THE MODEL-I.

Sorry, what? Lost my train of thought. Anyway, Swift is dedicated to fight against the Crimson Nova Mavericks. Apart from wishing for the safety of others, he figures that his service will be recognized and that he will be seen as the outlyer from those that people seem to hate.

Weaponry/Abilities:

Hand Blasters - Both hands can reshape themselves into stable plasma-type blasters. Thus far, they have no element or special effect. They are quick rapid-fire weapons that Swift is fairly-adept in utilizing. (He's currently trying to upgrade them to fire a charge beam.)

Utility Tail - Sometimes referred to as the Swiss Army Tail, the fifth appendage of this Pseudoroid creates tools as needed in his day-to-day life or when on a mission. He has used it for repairs and modification, temporarily powering machines, cutting through solid objects with a plasma torch, or even acting as the Jaws of Life.

Scissor Wings - One of the more surprising things about Swift was that he emerged into the world with a pair of wings. This is extremely non-standard for his 'kind', as none of them were ever built with anything like this in mind. When closed, they just look like something cosmetically unique to him. Opened, however, they are compact flight engines and guiding fins.

Enhanced Sensory Suite - For tracking, marksmanship, and general awareness of threats and other hazards, he and the rest of the Nu-Fox line are equipped with hyper-sensitive auditory scanners, low-light and thermographic vision-enabled optics, and chemical analysis module. Basically, eyes, ears, and nose work extremely well.

Model-K - Swift runs on a Bio-Metal never seen before, the Model-K. It was identified only through intense analysis as 'Adaptive-Form Bio-Metal Model-K' and refused to give any specs whatsoever. However, examination of Swift himself indicates that because he is an unknown varient from the Nu-Fox type of Pseudoroid and that he seems to be self-altering to a point, it has been theorized that the Bio-Metal inside of him has been quietly upgrading his form and capabilities.
