This list update was done more to declare the cap for the number of characters for character requests. 48 is the cap for character requests. I know that's one more than the characters I picked but that's intentional. Also, I realized I forgot to add titles to some characters. They'll all be added in when I make the final list.

*: This character(or characters) is guaranteed to get in as a contestant

**: This character is guaranteed to make an appearance as a contestant, a cameo or as a special guest in a challenge

1. X, Zero, and Axl, The Maverick Hunters(Mega Man X)*

A/N: I decided to add in Axl. His personality would be a contrast to the (usually) more serious X and especially Zero which would be a good fit for the show imo considering the other contestants that are here. Plus, bonus points for his X7 intro theme being so good. One of the only bright spots of that game, it's soundtrack. And Axl himself.

Axl: Little is known about his origins compared to his elder hunters that he's entering the show with. Not even Axl himself knows when or where he was created, and he's seen trying to find answers to that himself at times. The only thing he's learned is that he's the prototype for the new generation of Reploids, a contrast to his robot peers who were built to be the ultimate creations of their predecessors. This also made him immune from being infected by Sigma and his virus, preventing him from ever going Maverick. The earliest memory he can recall was that he was once a bounty hunter for the vigilante syndicate Red Alert which hunted Mavericks but left when they started targeting innocent Reploids and was later revealed to be working with Sigma himself. It was during that escape that he would meet Zero and would be taken in for questioning for his involvement with said vigilantes. He looks up to the veteran hunters and although not readily accepted by X and Zero for his immaturity and lack of awareness when it came to collateral damage, he eventually proved his worth, growing in his maturity but still having his confident attitude and tendency to take their missions as more of a challenge than serious business like X and Zero do,

Unlike those two that use Buster shots and close ranged weapons like Zero(he can use his buster but he usually prefers using his Z-saber and other close range weapons), he uses firearms, mostly his dual pistols called Axl Bullets along with a copy of defeated enemies' weapons. Also unlike those two, with his copy chip, he can copy the appearance and abilities of Reploids he encounters, though because his chip is an incomplete prototype unlike the Reploids created after him, he can only copy those that have similar size to him. However, a benefit for him is that he isn't limited to the preset forms the completed chips have programmed in them.

Reason for entering with X and Zero: He considers the show to be another new challenge and insisted on having X and Zero bring him along, convincing them that it would be "good training" for the young hunter.
