Rockman Elysium

Normally, I don't go for the fan made iPod pictures, but these were nicely done :D



EDIT: Muse, we have a Zero!



Love how he just flings the damn thing ^^;

The rest is cut due to overspammage of images. Made a 1024 x 768 for both X and Zero in PS, but I'm sorry I couldn't make the actual pictures bigger without making them a bit pixelated.

Enjoy ^.^

Credit goes to pixiv.net. I don't know the artist.

I was browsing Guiltism just now and discovered this art and a series of entries from February...

Atsai did a pair of figures, Original X and Zero, for Wonder Festival!

(larger image below cut)

( prettys! )

How did I manage to miss THIS?!

These are not the same figures as those fan sculpts that were going around a few months ago, either... the Blue Bomber forums were kicking this around as well with no clear resolutions...

Found the whole issue- including some pretty awesome scuffling between Megaman and Protoman, the 4 pages of X at the end and some pretty scary-looking fanart in the middle! :D

Here it is as promised, so enjoy!

Megaman 04.rar (10 MB)

If you don't have winRAR, you should be able to rename the file to .zip and use WinZip to successfully open the images. :D

HI GUYS. UM. I'm reposting a fanfic I wrote a long time ago, so sorry if anyone's already seen it. In fact, I can't even remember if I reposted it already on the old server for Elysium. (SORRY.) I just wanted to add an offering to the shrine of Signas. (Signas is hot you must write/draw him okay.)

TIMELINE: After the events of X5, the "good" ending in which X remembers Zero.
RATING: PG-13?
WARNINGS: ANGST.
PAIRING: Signas/X exceptnotreally.
BONUS ROUND: Try to spot all the innuendo. HINT: HUNTERS FUMBLIN' WITH LARGE BEAMS.

TITLE: ma vie en bleu
SUMMARY: After the Eurasia incident, the Hunters are left to piece together what's left of Earth. Signas is left to piece together what's left of X.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

X’s relations with the people around him are profound. His creator, Dr. Light. His best friend, Zero. His new subordinate, Axl. Above all, his fated archenemy, Sigma. Even among these, Dr. Light’s influence looms large; X’s pacifism seems to be influenced by Dr. Light’s thinking.

Well, here's my version of X's hair, and unfortunately I have him terribly boring ^^;
I would've had this up so much sooner as well... But, rejoice, as I have more scans of the Rockman Complete Works done too :3
Its just taking its time loading on Imageshack > <

Anywho... cut for longish post.


I have X leaning more towards looking Japanese, as, for arguments' sake, Dr. Light could've built both Rock AND X in Japan, and simply made them appear as such. I prefer following the Megamix manga where Light lives in Japan as the head of Robotics.
As for the style, you gotta take the helmet into account. He never takes it off. Fangirls however, will claw me to death upon preferring if the helmet was actually part of his head - having no hair at all (think Robocop).

X would have flat, helmet hair. Being geeky here also, however - it wouldn't be real hair either, so no big on it getting greasy or whatever. I feel I made the fringe too long, but function wise its a basic hairstyle that's practical and human-friendly, but I doubt X would really bother with it in either case...

Ideas/suggestions welcome : )

MILITARY RECORD

At first X was a member of the 17th Squad. After its captain, Sigma, started an uprising, X took the post of captain of the 17th, and took it upon himself to settle the incident. At the time of the Falling Colony incident, the Hunter organization fell into ruin, and even the 17th Elite Squad was disbanded. Afterwards, he became a leader figure to the Hunters. After the Nightmare Virus incident, hating conflict, he retired from active service, and sought a method for peaceful solutions at the Hunter base.

Dr. Cain’s diary

4/8
Nothing’s turned up yet.
Last month I walked all over the wasteland looking for fossil proof of the plants that lived in the Middle Ages [see Trans. Note below], but nothing turned up.
Let me break ground at a new site tomorrow.
Maybe I’ll find something.

PERSONAL HISTORY

He appears to have been developed by Dr. Light, circa 20xx, as a robot with advanced mental capacities roughly the same as a human’s. After Dr. Light’s death, he was sealed away for approximately 100 years, but revived by Dr. Cain, who discovered his capsule. His internal structure has many parts that defy analysis to this day, despite Dr. Cain’s research.

ETA: As I suspected, it’s been rewritten. I found the original wording on a fan site:

“X” is a new type of robot with more complex, human-like mental capabilities. However, these capabilities are also extremely dangerous. If “X,” of his own volition, ever broke the basic law of robotics, “A robot must not injure a human,” likely nothing could stop him, and the results would be fearsome.

If I had 30 years, it would be possible to confirm his safety. However, my life will not last that long, and there is no one to whom I can entrust my research. Therefore I will seal him in this capsule. This capsule will test his internal structure for me until his safety is confirmed. Until then, please do not open the capsule.

“X” is laden with both unlimited possibility and unlimited danger. I just hope it turns out for the best.

WEAPONS

X’s basic weapon is the X Buster built into his hand. But his truly distinctive feature lies in his variety of expansions. Almost all Repliroids inherit his design concept, and their weapons can be reattached to X. The armors Dr. Light left are also important equipment.
( Read more )

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!

mystery_muse demanded that I post this, so blame her.

Anyway, I was checking out videos on YouTube, and I came across the Megaman 8 ending. And if go to 1:30, you'll notice that Duo extracts the Evil Energy from Megaman by TURNING HIS HAND INTO BLUE ENERGY.

JUST LIKE X DID IN DoS.

Now, mystery_muse and I are already big fans of the Evil Energy = Maverick Virus theory, and I was already considering that X's design was inspired by Duo, and this just gives both theories + 100,000,000 points.

Because if Light knew that Zero had the virallized Evil Energy, doesn't it make perfect logical sense to give X the same blue energy that counter-acts it? And when X attacks Sigma, who is currently the main host of the virus? Many people think that Zero had the virus to infect X, but what if it was the other way around, that X was meant to cure Zero?

I hope the upcoming MMX Sourcebook will explain what X's SHINING FINGER was, but this is a pretty neat theory in the meantime.

So, I was searching the Internet today, looking for pics to make icons since it's basically my day off...

WHEN I FOUND THIS! Two girls dressed up as Zero and X and the costumes are AMAZING! Though, personally, Zero's cosplayer looks more excited about it. XD And since </a></a>mystery_muse told me to post them here, I hope everyone enjoys them!

Why didn't that representative from Capcom get some pictures of them hugging or fighting or... nevermind. :D

Continuation of the giant RP thread here, since the comment nesting has made the original thread unreadable. (125+ comments!!) Carry on! :D

this is a test post.
