Character Name: Zero
Canon: Megaman X
Character Info: Zero is a thinking and feeling robot that’s one of the two keeping the earth from drowning in a virus. His timeframe is pretty bleak and he’s mostly used to talking to and reacting to other robots.

Fairly straight forward and driven, he doesn’t bother himself with doubt. Doubt can kill. Being one possibly the only robot will be a switch and something to navigate.

On the flip side he was originally made to destroy any creation of his creator’s rival. The virus Wiley made to ruin things (because he is why this canon can’t have good things) actually turned Zero good. The funniest fact from the interviews, I swear.

Deep down that old fight X and slaughter programming is in there. And he recently became aware of it. Not his favorite thing to know.

PLOTTING!
Monster Ideas: Youkai, specifically Kitsune. It felt like a pretty neat one to explore and also I load up some fun reflection in a future canon update.

My other ideas are for Infernal (Demon), and elemental (Genasi). I’ve got fun reasons for each. But Kitsune is the one I really want.

Vehicle Ideas: I’ve been considering either some kind of van like outpost set up or a hover bike for fast movement and being a good scout. I’m still on the fence and figuring that part out.

Game plans: The game plan is to pull him from the start of X6 after he got rebuilt but with no idea who or why. Fresh to some unpleasant knowledge and memories, he’ll struggle with changing and consider he might need put down. While defending the caravan and looking into what happened to this world. Because sure looks like earth did after some certain actions.
Desired CR: I’m game for anything. I haven’t played Zero in years and returning to him feels great.
Other: I considered end of X5 but he is just a torso there. Long story.

I haven't played a ton of the X series outside of X5, but Zero is a really cool character, and I'd definitely love to see him around!

[refusefate]

They’re a blast! I got to replaying them via the collections and did a think over mmx or mmz era Zero. X series felt the best. Lots of fun threads to look at and explore.

Zero!! Man he's been a longtime favorite of mine so I'm super excited to see someone interested in him!

I think he and Shadow could have some fun CR, but I may be apping Penny from RWBY, another robot tasked with protecting the world! (Also the fandom likes to joke about her creator and his arch rival being Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, which is a sillier point of connection.)

[refusefate]

I agree. Zero and Shadow could have fascinating cr! And I read about Penny. I feel like that could be super interesting! In a way it would be like the first days he talked to X.

But better because he has so much experience about compassionate people and how far they can go.

And yeah, I considered someone else at first but I was reviving Zero and this feels like a great spot to dig into his mind.

Well this is a blast from the past. I played so much Mega Man X1, 2, and 3. And yes, always been a huge fan of Zero. (Also spent an inordinate amount of time in Overdrive Ostrich's stage because IT GOT A COOL BIKE.)

[refusefate]

It does! I’m leaning harder and harder towards a hover bike. A van would be funny. But the bike is iconic.

[guidemyway]

We've talked about you bringing Zero in here a few times and I'm jazzed for it.

One of Ruby's best friends was a torso for awhile. Sounds rough, bud.

[refusefate]

Boy it was. Defending your best friend who is also at the time a torso. Rough.

And yes, I’m excited too! I missed playing Zero and here will be a fascinating place to explore him.
