Mega Man X (character)

Mega Man X, or Rockman X (ロックマンエックス, Rokkuman Ekkusu) in the Japanese version, commonly called "X", is the main protagonist of the Mega Man X series. He is the successor of the original Mega Man and Dr. Thomas Light's greatest creation. He is a Maverick Hunter who fights along with his partners Zero and Axl in order to maintain peace and stability in world and protect humans and Reploids alike from Mavericks while he himself wishes nothing more than stopping to fight for good. The Reploid race was created from his blueprints.

Personality
When X was created by Thomas Light, he was a one of a kind robot. Other than his precessors, including the original Mega Man, X possessed incredible abilities. He was capable of thinking, feeling and acting entirely on his own without special programming, being closer to a human being than anything before (and eventually, after).

However, Light feared that, since X didn't have any moral programming that held him back from doing evil things and the fact that he had to achieve maturity like a human, he could become a threat to the world. Therefore, he sealed X away into a special capsule that would test his circuits endless times and in uncountable scenarios to render him as mature enough to tell right and wrong apart. Apparently, this process would take more than 30 years and Light, already an old and exhausted man, would not live to see X leave the capsule and enter the world. He left a message of his warning on the computer in the lab he placed the capsule in and ordered everyone that may find the capsule not to release the robot within until the testings were complete.

Maverick Hunter X, the 2006 remake of the original Mega Man X however walked a different path. The Day of Σ, an unlockable prologue OVA inluced on the UMD, showed Light actually speaking with X during his creation for multiple times, while he sealed him away in the original game without activating him once. Furthermore, Light's intention of sealing X was different from Mega Man X. Instead of fearing he would become a threat because of his immaturity, he actually feared that it would be the humans who were immature and not ready to live together with a robot that close to them by the time he finished his work. Instead, he wanted him to fight for the people of the future and guide them to peace and happiness.

Though X fights with all his might against Sigma and his Mavericks, he's a pacifist at heart. He hates nothing more than fighting and wishes the war to finally stop so the damaged world could be repaired and humans and Reploids to coexist peacefully next to each other, like his creator had always wished. He cares deeply for the victims of the war and for his friends who've fought so long with him, especially Zero, which he regards as his best friend.

The beginning
X' creation by the hands of Thomas Light began at some point before Mega Man & Bass. He was designed to be a successor of the original Mega Man, superior in movement and power, as well as in individuality and independency. He was created with a unique system that allowed him to think, feel and act completely on his own. However, fearing that he would be a threat to the world because of the immaturity of his unexperienced ciruits (or because the world wasn't ready for him according to Maverick Hunter X), Light sealed him away in a capsule that would test the reliablitily of his circuits to prove his maturity. Said testing would take approximately 30 years and since he was already an old man, Light recorded a warning which he included on the capsules computer not to open the capsule until the internal systems allowed this. On September 16th 20XX, Mega Man X was sealed away.

The sleeping robot eventually passed all tests the capsule had prepared for him and he was found at in 2114 (according to Mega Man X' title screen) by scientist Dr. Cain. Cain, not being an expert in robotics, was baffled by X' blueprints Light had included on the computer as they were ahead of anything the world had ever seen. From the blueprints, Cain started developing his own version of X, which resulted in the creation of Reploids. However, the Reploids never received the same ethical testings X did and because of this, more and more Reploids began to act strange and violent against humans and themselves. This phenomenon was called "Maverick" (Irregular in Japan) and after more and more incidents happend, the goverment decided to found a department which was supposed to deal with the Mavericks, the Maverick Hunters. Feeling guilty because everything was to some degree his own fault, X joined the Maverick Hunters and became part of Sigma's 17th Elite Unit. X, who had abilities far beyond any Reploid, could have easily become a SA-class Hunter, however, due to his hesitation and worrying, he was only categorized B-class.
