First page of Compendium's X profile

X’s character profile starts on p.4. It begins with the warning (in English) from the beginning of X1, attributed here to “T. Right.” Capcom must originally have meant his name to be spelled this way, because the Classic robots are labeled DWN and DRN, for Doctor Wily Number and Doctor Right Number. But I’ll spell his name Light from now on.

The banner across his picture reads, “X, the peace-loving Irregular Hunter.” The paragraph underneath reads, “An autonomous robot left by Dr. Light. At first he was ranked as a B-Class Hunter due to his gentle personality, as he cannot devote himself to duty wholeheartedly. But after repelling Sigma’s schemes time and again, he has now become a leader-like figure to the Hunters. He has high expandability, and by means of equipping special weapons and armor parts, can expect to be active under any conditions.”

There’s a picture from X7 of X scolding Axl, with a dialog box: “What are you saying! If you fight, you play into their hands! It will just be another meaningless fight.” The caption on the side reads, “Pacifist X hates conflict and always aims for a peaceful solution. However, to save the Earth from Sigma’s assault, reluctantly, he will fight.”

At the bottom, there’s a box with Basic Data. “Equipment: X Buster, Special Weapons (interchangeable), Power-up Parts, various Armors. Post: Captain of Unit 17. Hunter Rank: B ~ Special A. Remarks: Pacifist.”



Translator’s Random Notes: I have got to improve my handwriting. That does not say “expendability.”

And I still think “Remarks: Pacifist” sounds exactly like Vash the Stampede’s “Wanted” poster!
