MEGAMAN
~THE AGE OF X~
"Beware he who fights monsters, so that he doesn't becomes one of them himself..."
Earth, at the eve of the 22nd century...
X and Zero, the legendary maverick hunters, had succeeded in their most difficult mission ever, avoiding the collision between the mammoth space colony Eurasia and the Earth by miraculously activating its trusters at the last possible moment, set it to crash on the Moon, instead.
However, both reploids were caught in the gigantic explosion that was set off by their lifelong nemesis, Sigma, in a last spiteful attempt to take the maverick hunters down with him.
They were declared K.I.A. after months of grueling search over the colony's debris yielded no other result than the finding of Zero's charred saber, which is currently under tight security at the Maverick Wars Museum. A monument to remember their sacrifice had been raised in the place of the statue destroyed by Sigma at the beginning of the Eurasia incident.
Without Sigma's influence, the maverick hunters were finally able to rout the remainder of the rebellious reploids that still carried the dreaded maverick virus, ushering in a new era of peace.
However it was not for long...
A mysterious transmission coming from Elysium, a fortress that had been built on the dark side of the moon, reached the Earth, it said:
"Attention all reploids and humans of planet Earth, I hereby declare the foundation of Elysium a realm where we can live side by side, in peace. My emissaries will be ready to take anyone who wishes to join us, all you have to do is meet them and ask. I pressure no one to join us, however, hostility will not be tolerated. This is no revolution, no upraising, just the fulfillment of the dream that I have been built to. If you believe in my words I beg you to join Elysium...
I'm X and I hope you don't forget our sacrifice...
The message caused an uproar of proportion never seen before and soon enough the Maverick Hunters had to be dispatched in order to quell it.
Maverick Hunters HQ
Amidst the shadowy war room Signas, the commander of all maverick hunters issues a debriefing regarding your mission. The imposing reploid speaks in an even voice, just as Alia projects the necessary date over the room's monitors.
"As a member of the Maverick Hunters, your unit will be dispatched along with several others to deal with the center of the riot, the monument to X and Zero, your mission is twofold.
First, quell the rebellion and convince the people that the message is nothing but a forgery created by someone trying to defile X's memory.
Second, try to unravel who might be the culprit behind this case. I don't believe Sigma's involved this time after all, he's been obliterated along with both X and Zero after Eurasia exploded. I'm sure you'll find the true during the battle."
Just as Signas was about to issue the scramble order, Alia interjected, "Beware, however, our scouts reported the presence of a maverick amongst the innocent crowd. I pray my hunch is wrong, but the reports said that the maverick was riding an armor..."
"Very well then," Signas said, while making a cutting gesture with his right hand, "Maverick Hunters, SCRAMBLE!"
Ok, now to what's important.
This is a Megaman X RP where the players will be members of the maverick hunters trying to uncover the truth about the "X Incident", as such you'll play as reploids, since no human can hope to match a maverick in combat.
I hope you've read the introduction above so'll not dawdle on the setting's background, other than make it clear that this is an AU following a different turn for the events of X5. If you've read up to this point, put the name of the best Megaman X theme song at the bottom of your CS, the correct answer should be "Wild Fang" of X8, but you're free to disagree. Just search on Youtube if you don't know the original theme songs of the X franchise it's worth the effort... really.
