NAME: ZX-13
NICKNAME: Zach
APPEARANCE:
Blue, yellow accent marks, orange orb protruding slightly from chest, similar in appearance to XJ-9 in most other ways, though he has broader shoulders, and is slightly bulkier in appearance. Looks like he has normal hair.....but it's white.
PERSONALITY:
Relaxed, laid-back, fun-loving, even in the face of danger. Loves practical jokes (but only when the victims deserve it). Does what he thinks is right, even without the approval of others. Can be stubborn because of this. Usually fairly humble, but like all teenagers, will sometimes get big-headed in the wake of praise.
BACKGROUND:
Created by a colleague of Nora Wakeman and Phineas Mogg's (Miles Anderson), he is essentially the male equivalent of XJ-9, though it took a few more attempts to get it right. Unlike the XJ Series, all of the previous models were completely 'retired', meaning they were destroyed when they were no longer useful for the line's development. ZXs 1-6 were actually designed by Isaac,Phineas, and famed Japanese robotocist Hideaki Hiraku to restore the Mogg family's reputation. After sabotaged software caused the ZX-6 unit to kill 12 bystanders at the unveiling, things only became worse for them. (See Champ's OC for more info here: tremorton.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=heroes&action=display&thread=2328 )
After the smoke cleared, Anderson obtained the plans for ZX-6, and continued their work, as he saw potential in the ZX line. ZX-13 was the only unit not used merely for research, and thus was the only one given any level of free will in order to prevent a repeat of the ZX incident.
Zach does not know any of this, and has never asked about his predecessors.
Having had lived a while only a few towns over from Tremorton, Dr. Anderson purchased a small property there, and then established a base of operations for 'Zach' to use, due to the fact that Tremorton was the real hotspot of Xeno activity, and known as being the center for heroes such as himself (normally reffered to as vigilantes by unapproving parties such as the Skyway Patrol).
So now, Zach lives in the previously empty house directly across from Nora Wakeman's residence, and thus is also within earshot of the home of Brad and Tucker Carbunkle. He has all the parts he needs to maintain himself, and keeps in regular communication with his 'Dad', Dr. Anderson. Also in his new home are a few stationary robots to repair him when he himself can't, as well as a 'Fetchbot' to retrieve him and return him there should he send out a distress signal. These are kept in his garage workshop, much like Sheldon does with the majority of his equipment.
He chooses to attend Tremorton High when he isn't otherwise preoccupied.
ABILITIES:
-Flight (feet and elbow mounted thrusters)
-Super strength (About 1,000,080 Adult Human Males, so just barely above Jenny in relative terms)
-Various vision modes (infared, x-ray, ultraviolet, and different levels of zoom)
-Right arm can open to a standard buster (launches 'energy bolts', bullets similar in structure to military laser blasts)
-Keeps a short energy blade on left hip
-Can transform left arm into various weapons, like a large cannon, rocket launcher, etc.
-Can house other secondary AIs in his shell if he chooses, who he can then communicate with, or who can monitor his systems, although he usually leaves these slots empty except in special circumstances.
WEAKNESSES:
-Though not as naive as Jenny, he is still a bit unsure of 'normal' human behavior
-Sometimes focuses more on his social life than his 'Hero' work
-Wishes he was human, yet also desires a relationship with another robot
NOTES:
I've been playing the first Megaman: Battle Network game again, and planning to go through the whole series. Zach will look a bit like that version of Megaman, though 'chunkier', if you will, like Alex but with Megaman's color scheme.
Yes, he is essentially a male version of when Jenny first started out, with the added bonus of none of the other heroes knowing his creator.
He would show up just after the show ended.
He is not intended to be in the same timeline as Alex (as far as official continuity goes). I plan to create a sort of 'Reboot' to coexist with the other universe. This would allow for the continuing of the current timeline while being able to RP at a more rapid pace with those of us who are on more regularly lately. It would not include stuff I wasn't here for, like the newgen wars, although they could be reenacted differently if people would enjoy that.
PLEASE share any thoughts/opinions/suggestions below. Thanks!
