In the year 22XX, both Humans and Reploids live in peace thanks to Dr. Light's Last Creation, X. With X they created a new nation where both races live together as equals and in harmony, a nation called Elysium.

However, X's rule and Maverick Prevention Laws have sent countless Reploids unjustly to retirement. The Reploids who live in Elysium are in fear of X's Watchful eyes and his reformed Maverick Hunters.

Many leave Elysium and try to find a new home, but with the planet in ruins thanks to The Eurasia Incident, travel to other places in the world is dangerous. Resistance bands are formed in order to overthrow X's rule, but many are just as wiped out as soon as they start.

It would seem nothing could stop X from retiring Reploids who he deemed "Mavericks", until one day a human girl named Ciel discovered the lost Maverick Hunter known as Zero. Now with Zero on their side, many other factions take a more noticeable role in the world and a new Cold War has begun, can Zero stop X? That however is not this story...

This is the story of those who live in this world, and try to survive.

---

-Elysium, Hunter HQ-

[Clef]

The orders were clear and simple, meet with Guardian Harupia for evaluation. As the elevator rises to the 60th floor, Clef looks outside it's window to see the beauty of Elysium, however an hint of unrest troubles his mind as he looks at the city from 20 stories high.

-Outskirts of Elysium, Resistance Base-

[Skor]

Lounging around The Resistance Base was great back in those days, but with each of his own comrades and friends dying nearly everyday the halls and rooms of the base got a little emptier everyday. He still can't believe this Reploid who Ciel called Zero ran off to confront X himself about his actions, either this "Zero" is suicidal or was a defective Reploid from the get go.

[Jazz]

In her office, Jazz overlooked the files of everyone she repaired and healed, a medic's job is never done. However she was a bit distracted today, hearing the news that apparently Zero himself saved Ciel and then ran off to confront X. The news was shocking to say the least, but she prayed that Zero would be alright.

-Outskirts of The UCA, E-Tank Pub-

[Inertia]

Leaning on the wall of the local Pub, Inertia waited for his contact to arrive and give him his next job, it didn't matter what it was as long as it paid well. Till then it was just himself and his thoughts.

-Wastelands of a City, Somewhere Underground-

[Sturm Panzer]

He was driven, driven to keep building mechaniloids, driven to build his army even if alone. That was his duty, that was his mission, that was his purpose.

In The Year 22XX, Human and Reploid kind with the leadership of X have made a utopia so that both can finally live in harmony, a new nation called Elysium. However, X rules this utopia with an iron fist, and it has become a place where Reploids are retired daily due to Protocols and Rules of the State that if broken leads to Reploids almost imminently retired. Though the Humans of Elysium live in prosperity and comfort, Reploids live in fear and oppression.

Though many resistance groups are formed, just as many are wiped out by X's reformed Maverick Hunters, those who fight against X are dubbed The Mavericks of this new era. It seemed that nothing could oppose X's reign, until a human girl named Ciel discovers the lost Maverick Hunter known as Zero, who was supposedly destroyed during The Eurasia Incident. With Zero awakened The Resistance might finally have a chance to overthrow X, but Zero cannot believe how far X has gone and is conflicted with fighting his best friend, who for some reason does not remember Zero.

Many other factions play a role in this new world, either neutral to Elysium or against it, while others just try to get by in the world. With a new war on the horizon, what other forces are playing behind the scenes? Endless Fighting continues even now, can Everlasting Peace ever come true?

Welcome to my very first RP FUS! In this story, X's Bad Ending from Megaman X5 takes place, thus this is based on The Original Concept for Megaman Zero with X as The Antagonist of The Story and taking place after X5. You'll be able to play as nearly any man or machine you can think of, with some limits after all.

Characters Off Limits: X, Zero, Ciel, Elpizo, The Four Guardians, Megaman 1 - 3 Characters, Bass, Duo, Stardroids, Megaman Killers, King, Genesis Unit, Quint, Challengers from The Future Characters, and Megaman X1 - X8 Characters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why list some Classic Characters? For one they are all probably dead, well most are but I'll get to that later. For now how about I list off the Factions for you guys.

The Resistance: Started by Ciel and Elpizo after they ran way from Elysium along with several other Reploids who were unjustly imprisoned and awaiting Retirement. They fight to overthrow X for both Human and Reploid kind. Though they were barely a threat at first, with the discovery of Zero they now have a chance to defeat X and bring peace to both people. With them and Zero's Leadership fight X's Maverick Hunters and bring back Everlasting Peace! (Humans, Cyborgs, and Reploids Only)

Elysium/Maverick Hunters: Started by Dr. Cain over 100 years ago, X now leads The Maverick Hunters alongside his Four Guardians in order to wipe out Mavericks who threaten peace in Elysium and The World. With The Resistance awakening Zero, X intends to fight this new and strangely familiar enemy who many say he once fought along side him. Retire The Mavericks, Capture or Destroy Zero, and ensure the continued Everlasting Peace Elysium Brings! (Humanoid Reploids, Mutos, and Xloids Only)

UCA (United Continent Association)/Counter Hunters: The remains of The UN after The Eurasia Incident, this human faction is actually under good terms with Elysium. However with X's Paranoia, many Humans and few Reploids who live here are in fear and believe it's only a matter of time before X calls them Mavericks as well. The UCA create The Counter Hunters in order to prepair for whatever threats both Maverick Hunters and other factions bring. Lead by Dr. Gerald Cossack, Humans, Reploids, and Cyborgs alike ready themselves for the coming war. What many don't know is that they plan on countering X's power with revived and upgraded Robots from the past...(Humans, Cyborgs, Reploids, and Reploid Masters Only)

Neo Repliforce: Created and Led by Signas, Alia, and former Maverick Hunters who worked alongside X, they became tired of X's Tyranny and fought back by creating The Neo Repliforce. Unlike the Repliforce of old, they strive to defeat X and then live in peace away from humanity, believing it be best for Reploids to leave humanity alone. Their Ace Fighter is a new Colonel created in order to counter X, though this Colonel has his doubts that he can defeat him. Help them and save Reploid kind from X's Tyranny. (Reploids Only)

Red Alert: A Vigilante group created by a mysterious Reploid known as Red, Red Alert fight outside of any laws and are bounty hunters who destroy and hunt down any who they think are evil. They have a very strict code of honor, but go out of bounds more so then other factions. Red and his team remain undecided on who are right in this war, but will defend themselves from anyone who try to attack them first. Along side Red is his 2nd in command, a mysterious young Reploid named Axl who cannot only copy others weapons, but their entire form as well. Join Red Alert and decide who is right and wrong. (Humans, Reploids, and Cyborgs Only)

Solo: You're not under any factions, you determine how you go as a traveler around the world. Depending on where you come from and what you are you might be labeled a Maverick from Elysium, regardless you try to make it in this world as a Free Hunter, where you go or what faction you may or may not join is all on you, good luck!

I'll come back later to post the types of people you can play as, although looking above this text you can probably tell what kind you can play as. That and I need to write down the type of classes and how to set up you're profiles, until then tell me what you guys think so far?

We all know that Ian Flynn is going to give us the dirt on what he planned for Archie Sonic sometime this Summer with Lost Hedgehog Tales, but that did make me wonder what other writers had planned for The Comic, specifically Karl Bollers and Ken Penders.

What they planned for Archie Sonic however, simply put I think if they were to continue the book as they wanted to it would have been cancelled, but what do you guys think? Here are the links to what they would have done, and what could have been.
