Slur.EXE

Slur (スラー) is a character exclusive to the MegaMan NT Warrior anime series voiced by Akeno Watanabe.

Personality
Slur seems to be a being that respects and serves Duo with the utmost loyalty, using the technology he provided to test humans and carry out Duo's will.

However, Slur also seems to possess a very high level of arrogance, as the extraterrestrial Navi looked down on all humans and Navis, including Bass, and had deemed them inferior, even saying that Bass was foolish in their first meeting.

When MegaMan had managed to scratch Slur's cheek, the alien NetNavi showed anger towards him for that, and attempted to delete him, though Colonel managed to save him. Slur seemed to also be very angered when Lan and the others had managed to discover the lost city from Slur and Duo's home planet, and learned of the origins of the Creators, even going as far as wanting the ruins to be destroyed completely.

When Slur was confronted by Colonel, SearchMan, ProtoMan, and MegaMan, Slur battled them and took on multiple attacks, displaying incredible powers simply to make them see the hopeless battle they were in.

Slur even seemed to take amusement in the humans and Earth Navis attempts to pass Duo's test, but Slur was very much confident that humans would fail and be destroyed in the end, especially when Slur revealed to MegaMan and the others about how Earth was going to be destroyed.

The arrogance Slur possess made Slur vulnerable to when Bass had returned with greater powers and could even seem to overpower Slur. Even at the end, when Bass had impaled Slur, the extraterrestrial's last words were still in the viewing them as inferior.

History
Slur is Duo's subordinate and the last remaining NetNavi of the planet that created Duo. Duo refers to the human-like race responsible for his and Slur's creation as the Creators. Slur debuted in Rockman.EXE Stream episode 2, appearing to stop Bass's (Forte's) attempt to take Duo's power for himself, sending him flying into the depths of the Undernet.

After seeing the Cross Fusion, Duo sends Slur to Earth, and the alien NetNavi serves as the instigator of conflict throughout Rockman.EXE Stream. It is this messenger who tests the humans worthiness to survive Duo's judgement, appearing before people and offering them Asteroid Navis, special NetNavis that may take the appearance of MegaMan's past foes. These Navis boast superior strength and versatility to their Earth counterparts, and in most cases, are immune to conventional methods of dispatch, such as elemental weakness. Slur also provides humans with Dimensional Chips, through which Asteroid Navis may materialize as gigantic versions of themselves in the real world without a Dimensional Area present. While Slur's actions themselves may be interpreted as evil, the Navi states that Duo is not responsible for Earth's impending erasure - the humans themselves are to blame, for they use the Asteroid Navis for selfish gain. The evil energy cultivated by the Asteroid Navis is sent to Duo's comet, where it awaits usage as the "erasure wave."

Bass uses his new power to cruelly delete Slur by implaing the Navi with his arm. Slur's last words were, "SHUT UP! YOU EARTH NETNAVI SHALL---I!", while being mocked by Bass.

Powers and abilities
As an extraterrestrial NetNavi, Slur's powers are heightened above and beyond those of regular Navis and even Duo's Asteroids, being capable of levitating and traveling back and forth through the Past Tunnel with speed greater than the norm, and does not require any external assistance in transcending space-time, capable of tearing open portals in the Cyber World to travel to any desired destination. Slur's abilities can be exercised from great distances, and have been shown to reach Earth from Duo's comet in space. Slur's defenses are also virtually impenetrable, such as being capable of surviving injuries that would prove fatal to regular Navis, such as a triple Program Advance, a head shot, or a sword to the chest. However, MegaMan had managed to injure Slur when he had used a Sword Battle Chip while in Proto Soul, managing to cut Slur's cheek, strangely enough.

Many of Slur's attacks involve a living form of wiring that sprouts from beneath the Navi's sleeves. The wire can be shaped into other weapons, in particular, swords, which instantly take on the appearance and density of the object in question. In addition, the wires can be used to bind, strangle, and electrocute victims and does not necessarily need to be within close proximity, as frequently, Slur conjures wires out of thin air and sometimes from the Navis themselves, allowing them to be immobilized to be attacked.

Another of Slur's abilities involves harnessing the power of an aura. Often, Slur transforms into either a sphere or sliver of light to ram enemies. This NetNavi can also concentrate the energy from the aura into concussive bullets projected from the palms of their hands, or create a ring of this same force to cause explosions.

Trivia

 * Although the Rockman.EXE Stream fansubs have the character referred to as a "she," there is no indication in both Japanese and English (in the case of UDON's English translation of Rockman.EXE Official Complete Works) of what Slur's true gender actually is. Slur has an androgynous appearance, and a voice that could pass as either a young girl or a very young boy. It's likely that the creators intended for the individual's gender to be ambiguous and leave it up to fans, or perhaps Slur is meant to be a genderless being like the Navi, Serenade.
