I decided to reevaluate my chapters here, so this is what I got now. Sorry if any of you liked it better the other way, I thought this would help a lot. This is my own side-story for the characters, and if you don't like custom (a.k.a. fan-based) characters, you're pretty screwed, cause there's a lot of them in this.

Megaman X: Present to Past
By: Kyrial
Prologue

This is the rundown of my own characters, created to help out my story, and to let loose my creative juices. Unfortunately, those juices will end up in your brains have you the will or enthusiasm to read the story. I apologize to you all for that. Anyway, here's some things that have to be told:

Characters

Arturo- Leader of the Lost Island Research Facility. (Check the next section) He looks almost identical to Signas, except he has deep-water purple armor. His background is unknown, even to his Captains. Though he is naturally calm, and collected at even the most dire moments, his anger is none to be tested. He may not make that great an appearance until later in the story, but he will play a part.

Shift- Leader of the 1st Unit Reconnaissance team. Her appearance is near human, save for the immensely bright green hair. She's slender, standing 5'6", weighing close to 140 lbs. solid. She wears normal black jeans, and a pink tank top. Her skin is slightly tan, and her eyes are a beaming hazel. Shift is an Intelligence Officer, mostly working in a lab rather than out in the field. As such, she keeps to herself and seems to care very little about things.

Salvo- Leader of the 3rd Unit Artillery. Salvo is a big, and I do mean BIG, reploid. He stands almost a foot shorter than X, and is close to twice as wide. His armor is neon green (yes, I know, I have a thing for green), and unlike most hunters, his armor is unique. It consists of polygonal shapes instead of the normal round armor everyone else uses. The armor looks flatly round, but the shapes help him to earn his name. He carries an armada of weapons, all imbedded within his systems. He runs almost 23 normal bullet-slinging guns, but he has worse. Running down his shoulders into his back are two massive cannons (similar to Vile, but Salvo's fold back) that double as Medium-Range Missile launchers. He has one last weapon, but that description will be saved for the story.

Magnet- Lieutenant of the 3rd Unit Artillery. Magnet is a purple-tinted red reploid, looking as close to a perfectly average one as possible. He wears no armor, but instead chooses to wear normal street clothes. He's the only one I haven't really described yet, so read into the story to get it.

Larc- Leader of the 10th Unit Grunts. He resembles Magma Dragoon in an exact way, save for the insanity. The armor he wears is battle-scarred, with trails from bullets and blades of all kinds. He's a rather decent man, leaving things to humor instead of the violence he's accustomed to dealing out.

Tread- Leader of the 8th Unit Assault. She wears a dull pink armor with painted on tire marks wrapping around her. She commands the Ride and Chase Armor unit. She stands even with Salvo, and has the weight in front to keep her from falling off her Chase Bike. That's not to say she's fat, by the way. You know what I mean.

That's it for the moment for custom characters. I'll update this section as I come up with or have to introduce more. Here's the last thing you need to know for the story-

Lost Island- After the Incident in X5, a group of wayward hunters found themselves stranded on a chunk of land that had been separated from the explosion of the Colony crash. Fortunately, there was more than enough for them to work with, and eventually they worked a home for themselves. In time, they became a Research Facility, and the incidents of X6 helped to fund them. Now that they've gotten in touch with the MHHQ, they're working toward establishing their place in the MH publicity. Lost Island itself is nowhere to be found by normal means due to it's awkward coming about. The island hasn't been fully explored, but that's soon to change.

This is everything to date that should help clarify things about the story. Oh, and here's my Disclaimer- I unfortunately do not own Megaman X, any of the characters related to it, or even the pieces of storyline attached. I do however own the characters described in this chapter, so if I catch any of you stealing my characters, I'll make sure you dislike the rest of your writing careers. That's the nice of it. Anyway, hope you enjoy the story!
