Either Zero or Axl. Axl might be a bit lesser known, considering he is from X7 and X8, which were not very well known games.

@RoadkilBanana

Axl’s cool. Zero would probably be a little close to an existing character (coincidentally named X), but we could make it work if you wanted to.

You're old, like me. Have you not had the fortune of seeing your universe die and start again, complete with an eventual new you and all?

@Galaxy Raider

I left that backwater planet the first chance I got. There’s not much left from my era, me included.

Nothing, as far as intentions go. It's ancient history now, but when my most recent self received a signal from beyond the boundaries of the universe he was from- this one- it sent just about everything off course. As a scientist, he never meant that, of course. A confined, controlled work, suddenly exposed to the outside world. And now, instead of "Ridge" here as per usual, I have one person from either end of his family tree here instead. The world often contrives our circumstances, doesn't it?

@Galaxy Raider

What’s all the talk about “recent selves”? Are you not the same person all the time?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

He doesn’t know. Not really. Ever since Data and his pals came along and broke the flow of things, I’ve held my cards close to my chest. The things any of you know me to be capable of, I assure you, you haven’t seen the half of it.
*Clasps my hands together*
But I hate talking about me, so let’s skip that part.

@Galaxy Raider

What does Data have to do with any of this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

It’s not. But make no mistake, he is not our friend.

@Valiance

What’re the specs on this guy? Strengths, weaknesses, motives?

*Maintains a locked and focused glare up in the sky toward ES*
Maelstrom’s the one who destroyed this world. A split personality Ridge holds and keeps suppressed as best he can. But I have no clue what he’s talking about, as though we’ve done this before.

@Valiance

Is that not this guy? I totally misguessed here if not. I was thinking it was one of those “I was disguised the whole time” moments.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

You? You can’t have anything to do with this.

@Valiance

Oy, you think you can give me a rundown of the story so far? And whether this road ends in a fight?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I’m not hiding anything from anyone. That act ended not terribly long ago.
*Crosses my arms*
Though I do refuse to call myself what seems to have caught on this time around, I’m sure everyone knows who I am. It’s genuinely a terrible name.

@Galaxy Raider

The one who destroyed this world, right? It’s written all over your face.

Myriad Reality

Okay, thanks! One more thing, I can use any fictional character or OC, right? The character I was going to use is from the Mega Man X games, btw.

@RoadkilBanana

We prefer OCs, and recommend you mix up any established characters to fit the lore if you decide to use someone from in-universe.

Who were you thinking about? I’m a Battle Network fanatic myself.

Ok. Now that my schedule is more open, I’m finally ready to jump in. Here goes…

@Phase

Awesome! Give me a bit and I’ll jump in. Just delayed a bit because I’m on vacation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You've been around long enough. I feel like you should tell me?
*Glances downward at my own body*
Oh, sorry. You can ignore the getup. I'm running on an incredibly tight schedule now, because of this. I hadn't changed after also attending a big party.
*Puts my hand on my chin in not-so-deep thought*
It was a costume party.

@Galaxy Raider

You know, somehow I get a smidgen of an impression that you aren’t being entirely forthright with me. So who are you really?
