Main Cast
- Silver
A general of the Maverickhunters. Was created by Raines. Married to Snex, mother of Atos. Weapon engineer, sniper, more or less the main of the main characters.
- Snex
Also a general. Silver's husband.
- 666
Mercenary working for the hunters. Good friend of Silver.
- Shiva
Also a
mercenary working for the hunters. Old friend, companion and once short-time girlfriend of 666. Now in a relationship with Pallette instead.
- Action Girl, natch.
- Artificial Human: Perhaps the best example here. Is a cyborg, but all biological tissue she had when she was created had been made synthetically.
- Ascended Extra: Started out as a side character.
- Bi the Way
- Bottle Fairy and The Lad-ette, rolled into one. Somehow.
- Chaotic Good
- Drowning My Sorrows: She always liked drinking, but she never hit the bottle quite as hard as after she killed her own sister.
- Even the Girls Want Her: And when they didn't, she made them want her.
- Hot Amazon
- Flanderization: Definitely did not start out as a beer-chugger and skirt-chaser.
- Ladykiller In Love: What happened when she met Pallette. She fell, and fell hard.
- Most Common Superpower + Boobs of Steel
- Ms. Fanservice: Does it entirely on purpose.
- Never Gets Drunk: And doesn't have hangovers, either. No specific kind, just insane tolerance.
- Plucky Girl
- Purple Skinned Artificial Babe
- Really Got Around before she met Pallette.
- She-Fu
- The Chick: Plays out this trope on purpose, to complete the band. In her former one, she was The Lancer, though.
- The Nicknamer: All the time, and she sticks to them. Examples include "Sparks" for Silver and "Sixboy" for 666 (who is less than amused by it). She hardly ever even calls her own girlfriend by her real name, opting for "sweetie" and "cutie" instead.
- Metro
A young hunter who manages to piss off both Zero and Snex, which seems to be one of the reasons he's not holding a higher rank than whatever rank he has right now.
- Bratty Half-Pint: Snex treats him as one.
- Expy: Not of a character, but of a position in the ensemble - Axl was for some unspecified never used, and the inclusion of Metro filled any need for that type of character... so if Axl ever DOES appear, he won't be a Hunter. Most likely is that he'll keep not being used, though.
- Type
A mysterious robot that appeared and attacked for no reason.
- Raines W. Xenox
The man who created Silver, but it didn't go quite as intended (as the quote on the
page states). Lives in a mansion. Brother of Gary.
- Gary G. Xenox
The younger Xenox brother. Half-brother, in fact. Is a full vampire.
Supporting Cast
- Mina Xenox
Mother of aforementioned two. Probably one of the most powerful members of the cast.
Also, some of the used Capcom characters that have been subjected to
Alternate Character Interpretation like you wouldn't believe.
- Blues
Survived past Maverick wars. Somehow.
- Scarf of Asskicking: Oh yes.
- Walking the Earth: Started doing this during the wars, when he realized he didn't have what it took to defeat these new things. He became one of the greater warriors of the new era.
- Sigma
- Big Bad: Subverted. He's not the one behind most of the plots, and disappeared after his first rebellion and later retaliatory strike (which roughly use the plots of X1 and X4).
- Pallette
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Still one of the three head navigators. But instead of being good at level layout and finding secrets, which didn't exactly translate well to written works, her main skills were changed into mathematics, programming, hacking and code decryption. Also...
- Lipstick Lesbian
- Mouthful of Pi: She claims to know all the digits of pi by heart. Noone has ever believed her or managed to figure out what the hell she means, and noone has dared to ask her to actually recite them.
- Must Have Caffeine
