Disclaimer: Capcom owns all things MegaMan, and all respect goes to them for making a great game, and characters. The idea for this government was taken from the Orson Scott Card book series, Ender's Shadow. All characters that were not created by Capcom WERE created by me, and therefore I own them.
Author's Note: Yeah, I know, a lot of info, not much of any plot though. Don't worry, I know exactly where I am taking this, and no one will be able to guess where, so don't try. :) Be ready for something you hadn't expected though. {UPDATE}: I fixed some grammatical and sentence errors. I will probably add the next chapter in a week, possibly sooner.
::New World Government::
:Introduction:
The year is 23XX. Just over 100 years have come and gone since the last major outbreak of Mavericks, and the world grasped peace for the first time since the discovery of the Maverick Virus. Having barely survived the Reploid Wars, Humanity was reproducing at an alarming rate, in an attempt to re-populate the planet that had been polluted and plundered to extinction. Now that the Reploids had finished the first phase of their project to revitalize the planet, the Humans that still lived could return to the surface of the planet. And so, a great migration of Humans from the space station in orbit, and from vaults deep in the planet, came to the surface to begin civilization anew. All the while, the Reploids helped them to get their lives in order; it was the least they could do after members of their own race had caused such devastation.
Now that the Humans had seen both the worst and the best of the Reploid race, they were willing to grant equality to their new neighbors. And so, a new World Government was created to govern the combined races of Humans and Reploids. They modeled this new government after a Hegemony; creating a Triumvirate of leaders that would represent the Two Races, and create equality among all nations, states, and races. This Triumvirate of leaders was composed of Hegemon, Strategos, and Polemarch. The position of Hegemon was the most powerful of these three, and was effectively the leader of the world. This position was granted to the Humans to give to their most able candidate, and they chose a man named Rudolphus Cain. He was in fact the descendant of the Cain that originally unearthed Mega Man X. Rudolphus Cain had a Doctorate in Social Resources, giving him the understanding he needed to govern both races.
The position of Strategos is mostly of military value, and was therefore given to the Reploid who was most exemplified in the past Reploid Wars: Commander Signas. His brilliant leadership combined with his love of Humans have given him the strength to make the tough decisions that won the last three of the Reploid Wars. Although he was not one of the Heros, as X and Zero were, he none-the-less had an extremely important role that he fulfilled magnificently. In order to give the Strategos an Army, Navy, and Airforce, the Repliforce was brought out of retirement, and combined with a percentage of Humans that also wished to be apart of this new Military that was at the disposal of the Strategos and Hegemon alike. Since no Mavericks remained, as all the viruses that caused the maverick behavior were destroyed, this new Military was put to the task of patrolling the planet to settle Reploid/Human issues. Of course there were some reploids who turned criminal, but this was due to environmental stresses, not any virus. And just as the past had shown, not all Humans were eager to open their arms to Reploid kind, and therefore formed terrorist factions that gave the Hegemony problems for quite some time.
The only position that was left to fill, was that of Polemarch. Who should get this position, Reploids, or Humans? The Polemarch would be more influential then the Strategos, yet not as much so as the Hegemon. The main duty of the Polemarch was that of the colonization of space stations in orbit, the Moon, and a distant planet that had just been discovered by our scientist that was capable of sustaining Reploid life, and could be made stable for Human life as well. This new planet was called Eros. But who was to head up the efforts on these projects? Eventually, a general consensus was decided between Reploid and Human alike. X and Zero were the only possible candidates. Neither Human, nor Reploid, but something much, much more, these were the only two that could even possibly be considered for such a task. Eventually, Zero dropped from the political race, and gave that position to X.
Zero, however, was not one to be thrown into the broom closet, and therefore took the reigns of his own cause. He took command of the Maverick Hunters, once again, and started assigning them tasks to help with both the colonization effort, and to help the Hegemony in its rebuilding efforts that spanned the planet. Although the African continent had been brought back to levels that Humans could withstand, there was much work to be done in other regions of the planet. The Maverick Hunters soon changed their name to the Earth Special Forces. Since there were no more Mavericks to fight or arrest, there was no point in continuing on in the name of the Maverick Hunters.
This was the world on the day that Tycho was "Born." Tycho was a new Reploid, the most advanced one to date. He was built at the request of Admiral X. X commisioned the best and brightest Human scientists to make a full scan and diagnostics test of his entire systems. A new Reploid was to be made from this new information, and this Reploid would be one of the ones sent on the first Reploid colony ship to Eros. Since X had not allowed himself to be scanned since the first time Dr. Cain had done so, technology had advanced to a point where almost all of his systems were understood by the scientists of this age, and therefore cloneable. This is the story of Tycho, and how his unforseeable destiny came to be.
