The setting takes place after the events of Mega Man X8 (the current last numbered X series game), where Class S Maverick Hunters X, Zero, and Axl once again defeated the Maverick Overlord, Sigma and also Lumine, director of the now-abandoned Jakob Elevator project. The Jakob was a large orbital elevator that stretched from the ground all the way to space. From the very top, you could travel at will from Earth to the moon. However in the events of Mega Man X8, the elevator's secret purpose was to build a utopia of New Generation Reploids all devised by Lumine to abandon and destroy the Earth. All older model Reploids and Humans were to be left behind and destroyed. But thanks to the Maverick Hunters' best soldiers, that plan was eliminated. Ever since then, the copy chips (devices within New Generation Reploids which allowed them to transform into the form of any Reploid they obtain DNA of, as well as gain their abilities) were recalled and production of New Generation Reploids were also halted due to having Sigma's DNA within all the newer Copy Chips.
That's the basic history of what happened before this RP. Below this text is this own RP's story. Even though this is after X8, which took place in the year 21XX, it still takes place many years later, going into the 22XX era which Mega Man X: Command Mission takes place, however this will be before that game. I know the "XX" may be confusing, but the Mega Man games like to keep the last two digits unconfirmed so the exact date of these events are unsure and all up to player speculation. As such, we'll use the same method here since we have no idea when in 22XX that Command Mission started. But this is in it's own timeline, so Command Mission will never happen on this timeline.
Also, I am aware that Sigma could still be alive despite Lumine saying he was gone for good this time. But this RP uses it's own unique story and in this, Sigma truly is dead for good. So yeah, no more tenacious bald guy who doesn't know how to die for eight games straight haunting your dreams and attempting to destroy humanity anymore!
-------
In the beginning years of 22XX, the damage Sigma and Lumine caused were nearly forgotten. However, the Maverick Virus, which causes Reploids to malfunction and go against their nature, still remains. But with the Maverick leader out of the picture for good this time, Maverick outbreaks have been happening less than they have back in the days where Sigma still haunted the world with his ambition to abandon the humans and create a world where only the strong Reploids reign. The Maverick Hunters finally feel as though they are making progress in keeping the world save from Maverick activity, as the Maverick Virus should eventually fade away with extended time.
However, a new problem had risen...striking out of the blue and taking the Maverick Hunters totally off guard. One day, a swarm of apparent Reploids that the world has never seen before attacked Abel City. They were able to push them back, but that wasn't the end of the attacks. They had no idea where these Reploids were coming from, just that they threatened Abel City...and that this would eventually spread worldwide with time if they couldn't get it under control. So after defeating another group of these troublemakers, who are now dubbed Mavericks, DNA samples were taken afterwards and were studied in the Far West Maverick Hunter HQ residing in Abel City itself. Researchers were surprised at what they found during their tiresome work...that these Reploids weren't exactly...Reploids. Of course, the ones that attacked had robotics...but their DNA was something completely different and containing bio-chemical substances within their bodies like a human being. Reploids do not possess those kind of substances within their bodies to function, so they weren't any kind of race they've known.
It was then that a few weeks later, a Reploid scientist introducing himself as Beta steps up to the claim that he was the original creator of "Bio-roids", the actual name of the unknown species. Beta claims that someone stole his research and improved it to feats even he couldn't attain. He provided useful information on them, saying that they have improved abilities over standard Reploids and other similar knowledge. With no one else to turn to for a solution to this problem, Signas, the Maverick Hunter Leader, had no choice but to believe and trust Beta's information. However for safety measures, Beta was forced to remain at the Far West HQ until a legitimate solution was made.
...But then it happened. Bio-roid sightings started to appear worldwide and this lead to a huge scale war with them. Beta was right that Bio-roids possessed quite the impressive strengths over Reploids. This war even began to spread to where even human beings had to defend themselves. This war was no longer a battle between machines. Even the Class S Hunters X, Zero, and Axl couldn't handle this alone. During this, Cyborgs started becoming more common. But even that wasn't enough, as Cyborgs were humans that have modified robotic parts in place of previous human body parts to be able to keep up with Reploids' power and speed. In the end, this just wounded the Maverick Hunters' pride. Humans were the people they were created by and meant to be protected by their creations, not vice versa. But they were being pushed in a corner. This war was something both Reploids and Humans had to fight together. Otherwise, they'll end up annihilated. So thinking over this decision strongly, Maverick Hunters began to allow humans who had their bodies converted and transformed into Cyborgs join their ranks. Cyborgs weren't common at first because being one meant that a human had a second chance at life. In most cases, Cyborgs are born from tragic events happening to them when they were still fully human. From losing an arm to losing most of their body. But as long as their brain remains in tact, they can be saved if acted immediately. But now...some humans are being converted just to defend themselves. The Hunters didn't like that, but they had no choice if they gained the power to win.
A whole decade of fighting passed and the war had 'seemed' to come to a conclusion. This left the entire world in quite a mess, especially Abel City. But after a year later, Abel got back on it's feet mostly and began to spread it's aid to other regions of Asia and other continents with the help of Tokyo, Japan's Hunters. During the long battle, X and Axl were severely damaged merely days before the war ended and required intensive maintenance that may require even years of repair, leaving Zero the only Class S Hunter in active duty. But even the confident hunter himself knows that he can't handle this on his own if more Bio-roids are created and start to invade again. The world is already trying to recover from the war they barely won and if another attack occurs, then it may be the end...but now, more than ever is the time where Earth needs to take an evolutionary step to gain a head start of their new enemy. Zero and the rest of the Hunters can't do this alone, so they need you!
