This chapter is just introductions of the characters and some terms. I will update this part as new terms come forward, but the characters are to remain in their chapters. Feel free to skip this part if you want, as it is not necessary to understand the main story.

Chapter 0: Meet the characters
Maverick Hunters
Megaman X (Rock Light) - Commander of the 17th Division of the Maverick Hunters. Said to be the oldest reploid to date. Created by Dr. Thomas Light. Megaman X has survived seven maverick uprisings, defeated countless numbers of Mavericks, and has acquired numerous armor upgrades from the late Dr. Light. X is a hero among both reploids and humans, for he has saved the world from chaos many a time. Though he opposes war, he continues to fight in order to protect the innocent.
Zero (Zero "Omega" Wily) - Commander of Special Unit 0 of the Maverick Hunters. First reploid to be created a maverick. Created by Dr. Albert Wily. Before having the virus removed, Zero was confronted and defeated by Sigma, leader of the Maverick Hunters turned Maverick. Afterwards, Zero's memory had been reset, and his body cleansed of the virus. However, Sigma contracted the virus, and later became maverick. Zero was the commander of the 17th during the 1st Maverick Uprising. He died while fighting Vile, in order to let X continue on. His parts were gathered later on, and he was rebuilt. Zero is an expert in close range melee combat. Extremely feared by mavericks, he has earned the nickname "Crimson Devil".
Axl - New Generation Reploid Prototype. He was part of an organization, Red Alert, and joined with the Maverick Hunters temporarily. He later left the Hunters to venture out on his own after the seventh Sigma Body was destroyed. Little is known about his whereabouts, though sightings of a reploid clad in deep blue armor with a ragged cloak has been seen around the city of Neo Tokyo.
Locke Neonite - Maverick Hunter assigned to the 17th Division. Has expertise in close range melee combat. Locke attended MHA (Maverick Hunter Academy) along with close friend, Stryke Syphon, two years ago. She is one of many new generation reploids. She has been with the Maverick Hunters for three years. Locke is mostly energetic and bouncing off the walls, but when a serious matter pops up, she is attentive and alert. Most of her past is unknown.
Stryke Syphon - Maverick Hunter assigned to the 17th Division. Experienced in extra long range combat (sniping). Attended MHA two years ago. Stryke is also a new generation reploid. He has become a very mature person ever since his human family was killed by a group of bounty hunters. He is calm, cool and collected on the outside, but haunted by past memories of the deaths of those closest to him. Though he wants to avenge them, he also knows that would be pointless, as they cannot be brought back to life.
Kicker Yamito - Maverick Hunter assigned to the Medical Division. Joined the Hunters four years ago as a researcher/field medic. He is a conservative reploid, but isn't afraid to speak his mind to anyone. Quite the investigator, he constantly tries to solve the mystery behind X and Zero's compositions.
Leyna Strider - Maverick Hunter assigned to Special Unit 0. She joined the Hunters about two years ago. An elite in long range combat with various assault weapons, she has skills that far surpass those of normal soldiers, which is why she was placed in the 0th unit. Her attitude can be both sweet and innocent at times, and frightening enough to give even Zero the chill effect. She has a past that is unclear and shady, but as far as people see her, she is just a Hunter.
Alia - Navigator/Intelligence Operator in the Maverick Hunters. Alia joined the Hunters during the period between the fourth and fifth Maverick Uprisings. She specializes in detailed information about Maverick Generals, area info and other environmental intel. She is a close friend of Megaman X, and often acts like a mother to him.
Signas - General and Commandant of the Maverick Hunters. Received position of Commandant after the retirement (read - destruction) of the late General.... General. With an advanced CPU, he is fit for the position he is put in.

Mavericks/Erasers
Scar Acceleron - Leader of the 13th Maverick Sting Corps. Scar was a hunter that went Maverick during his second year as a Maverick Hunter. Originally, he was stationed in Special Unit 0, but left the hunters when he rebelled and killed over three-fourths of Special Unit 0. Why he rebelled is still a mystery. He is a swift reploid who enjoys the thrill of a fight, but is intimidating to be around as an ally, especially if you're a rookie. But his tough exterior and cold heart are absent when Echo Zelinger and Rayne Zelinger, his closest and only friends, are around him.
Echo Zelinger - Second in command of the 13th Maverick Sting Corps. She is an upbeat reploid with a tongue sharp enough to cut diamonds. As you can tell by her name, she is a quick reploid with skills of a Shinobi. An expert in close range combat, she takes risks every time a battle breaks out that others consider suicidal. She is close friends with Scar Acceleron. If it wasn't for her differently hued hair, you would mistake her for her twin, Rayne Zelinger.
Rayne Zelinger - A sniper in the 13th Maverick Sting Corps. Rayne Zelinger acts in many ways like her twin, Echo Zelinger. Her skills as a sniper are so advanced, picking off a target half a mile away with a pistol is a walk in the park for her. With both Echo and Rayne on the same battle field, very few enemies walk away. Close friend of Scar Acceleron.
Blue - A mercenary figure that recently joined the Mavericks. Not much is known about this reploid, since he almost never talks, and is rarely seen anywhere if he is not needed. His past is unknown, though it is clear that he is a new generation reploid.
Orion - 2nd Supreme Commander of the Maverick Forces. A reploid lined with synthetic muscle and superior intellect. A fearsome foe to the Maverick Hunters. He is current stationed at Maverick Outpost Orion. He is 2nd Superior of the four Maverick Generals. The other three are unknown at the moment.

Terms
Digitanium - Digitanium is a molecular substance that can be compounded thousands of times into a thick solid, providing four times the strength into objects. Digitanium, in its pure form, can duplicate its mass over time, making it inexhaustible. It can also be compounded into most elements, with the exception of inert gases. Most structures on Neo Earth are now digitanium reinforced, such as digisteel and digicrete. Digitanium is used greatly in the military for weapons, armor, and various other uses. Digitanium ore was said to be found by and named after a female reploid child during 22XX, after the sixth Maverick Uprising.
Neo Earth - Neo Earth came into existence after the Eurasia Incident. Earth had been on the brink of destruction, and was nearly wiped from existence. But the humans and reploids joined together to "nurse the planet back to health". With the discovery of digitanium, planetary recovery sped up greatly. Now called Neo Earth (New Earth), most of the continents are adding Neo to the front of their names.
