Indie Proof

The Indie Proof is an item in MegaMan Star Force 2. It represents a person's desire to be alone, giving them strength in their solitude.

The Indie Proof is made when all six of the Indie Frags are placed together, and it automatically deletes any and all BrotherBands that a person has. When formed, the Indie Proof can have significant effects.

When MegaMan forms the Indie Proof, he is given the Badge of Loneliness and access to the Rogue Tribe (Burai Tribe in Japan) of his version, granting him special abilities such as a regenerating Mu Barrier. Rogue Tribe is replaced in MegaMan Star Force 3 by Rogue Noise.

Indie Fragments
Indie Frags are shown in the game to be pieces of the Indie Proof, and can be gathered by the player over the course of the game. Eventually, they will form the Indie Proof. Until then, however, they are simply pieces of it that do nothing on their own except cause bad luck. One person holding an Indie Proof claims to have experiences where people have an innate repulsion from him whilst he holds the item.

Solo / Rogue
Solo / Rogue is given the Indie Proof by Hollow during the events of the second game, which tests Solo for a good deal of time. Eventually, he gains the power of the Indie Proof, which not only adds to his strength and speed, but also gives him the powerful Mu Rejection barrier. However, this also means that Solo can no longer be approached by people, as the Indie Proof prevents others from coming near the person who owns it.

The Indie Proof is eventually broken by MegaMan, though Rogue does not lose its strength nor its Mu Barrier during combat.

In the third game, Rogue is shown to be able to approach others again, and even gains a Wizard sidekick named Laplace. Despite that the Indie Proof is still gone, the Mu Barrier continues to protect Rogue during combat.



Rogue Tribe
When a player completes the Indie Frag and earns the Badge of Loneliness, they gain access to their Rogue Tribe (Burai Tribe in Japan). They must relinquish any real BrotherBands they have, however, in order to gain this.

During battle, the player will start as normal MegaMan, and must find the Badge of Loneliness on their Custom Screen as a battle card. In the same way as Tribe On or Double Tribe, the Badge of Loneliness is used to Tribe On into the Rogue Tribe of their version.

Rogue Tribe has all of the abilities of the normal tribe from which it is derived, as well as the Mu Rejection barrier and a trade of their elemental affinity for a sword affinity. It cannot use the Link Force Big Bang like normal, however, but instead uses it automatically when an opponent player uses a Giga Card during a versus match. Rogue Tribes are also immune to lock-on attacks, including auto-lock-on from the Ninja tribe.
