History Characters / MegaManZX

* [[DragonWithAnAgenda Dragons With An Agenda]]: They play this role to Serpent, explaining why they leave him to his own purposes towards the end of ''ZX''.

* BigBad: Of ZX.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Because he's technically "born" at the intro stage (and possibly because Pandora's going to kill him), he haven't learned politeness yet, and thus, he talks rude to people, as The Sage Trinity and later Aile noted. However, he's ready to help everybody in need, because he's inspired by the Hunters who found him and brought him to the Hunters' camp. See also TheMessiah below.

* TheMessiah:

* TomatoInTheMirror: Subverted. After searching so long for who he originally was, Grey (simply put) ''does not give a damn'' about his true identity.

* YouAreNumberSix: Has the code number of DAN-003 ([[ShoutOut Dr. Albert Number 003]]). [[CaptainObvious He's the third of Albert's creations]], behind his older "brother and sister", Prometheus and Pandora.

* EnemyMine: ThereCanBeOnlyOne! The four aren't friends, and would probably try to betray the others in their quest to become the Mega Man King. They appear to pull this again with Master Thomas. Could result in an EnemyCivilWar.

** Aeolus takes it one step futher, compare this picture of [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080914023156/megaman/images/8/8a/Aeolus.jpg him]] to this picture of [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090331154350/megaman/images/5/52/Raika.jpg Raika]] from MegaManBattleNetwork.

* INeedYouStronger: When Grey/Ashe meets Aeolus and Siarnaq in the Tower Of Verdure, Aeolus tells him/her to hone their skills before they can effectively fight, and then he and Siarnaq [[VillainTeleportation teleports out.]] It later bite him in the ass, resulting in ThisCannotBe below.

** NinjaRun: Subverted - It's actually AirplaneArms. Being LimpAndLivid certainly has something to do with this.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Whether it is by Grey or Ashe's hands, Albert is defeated by his own "backup plans" and Model A.

* CareerKiller: According to his data disk, Siarnaq was an assassin at some point in the past.

* CargoShip[=/=]TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=girouette+and+coffee#/dmmxob Judging]] [[http://rockmiyabi.deviantart.com/art/Love-Your-Coffee-More-Than-Me-114047553?q=boost%3Apopular+girouette+and+coffee&qo=2 from]] [[http://snakequeen.deviantart.com/art/Do-you-want-some-coffee-72634589?q=boost%3Apopular+girouette+and+coffee&qo=9 some]] [[http://starwolftsuname.deviantart.com/art/Girouette-speaks-56139924?q=boost%3Apopular+girouette+and+coffee&qo=3 fanarts]] ([[http://gmlink.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Lil-Girouette-49572874?q=boost%3Apopular+girouette+and+coffee&qo=0 compiled]] [[http://samusmmx.deviantart.com/art/For-KarinEXE-Giroette-gift-41921854?q=boost%3Apopular+giro+and+coffee&qo=19 for]] [[http://hikaruthered.deviantart.com/art/Good-to-the-last-drop-43050503?q=boost%3Apopular+giro+and+coffee&qo=4 your]] [[http://bright-as-a-button.deviantart.com/art/I-Need-More-Coffee-85880477?q=boost%3Apopular+giro+and+coffee&qo=0 convenience]], some fans like the "Giro X Coffee" pairing. (Mostly stemmed from [[http://crystalclear4everl.deviantart.com/art/giro-from-megaman-zx-158163052?q=boost%3Apopular+giro+and+coffee&qo=12 this image]].)

* MegatonPunch[=/=]PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Atlas has an appopriately-named "MegatonCrush", the half-ChargedAttack of her HandCannon which can send enemies flying forward, possibly hitting another enemy on the way for an extra killcount, hence the name Knuckle Busters.

* Career Killer: According to his data disk, Siarnaq was an assassin at some point in the past.

* DualWielding: Aeolus, with {{LaserBlade}}s, mimicking Harpuia.

* FletchetteStorm: Siarnaq; not as the boss, but as the copied A-Trans form. One press of the attack button throws four kunai knives; ButtonMashing it results in... You get the idea.

* BizzareAndImprobableBallistics: Atlas can alter her projectile trajectories with her Buster Edit ability. The trajectory can be seen and predicted with red squares that appear on the screen.

** [[ShesGotLegs She's Got Legs]]: Adult!Aile.

* GunsAkimbo: As Mega Man Model A.

* YoshitoYasuhara

* [[CareerKillers Career Killer]]: According to his data disk, Siarnaq was an assassin at some point in the past.

** NinjaRun: Subverted. Given that Phantom had one, you'd expect Siarnaq to run like that too. If anything, it's more like he's trying to emulate [[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]].

** ForTheEvulz? I mean, it's not like he ''needs'' to become the Mega Man King to get his revenge. With Model P, Sianarq might as well just go in there and haul shurikens on his backstabbers. It's not as easy to backstab a guy when he has a ''freakin' radar'' on his head.

* ShoutOut: In ''Advent'', the older Vent and Aile resemble [[GaoGaiGar Evoluder Guy and Mikoto]].

-> An enigmatic duo working for Serpent. While it appears that they're helping him revive Model W, they're really "the voices of Model W", aiming to expedite the "[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destiny of destruction]]". Despite being bested by Vent/Aile in ''ZX'', they return in the sequel. Here, it's revealed that [[spoiler:they are a pair of sibling Reploids created by Master Albert to serve as scouts for "The Game of Destiny". They were infused with a portion of Model W's power, keeping them permanently Megamerged. Additionally, Master Albert [[YourDaysAreNumbered imposed a limit on the amount of time they could live]] in order to keep them under control, requiring them to keep going back for maintenance in order to stay alive. Loathing the man, the pair finally enacts their revenge on Albert and plan to destroy everything... only to learn that the Albert they killed was a dummy. Becoming his [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]], their pent-up, centuries-long feelings of hate and rage served to fuel Model W's resurrection. They were last seen at Albert's mercy in an exploding underwater base located underneath a volcano. [[OrIsIt Their deaths have yet to be confirmed.]]]]

* [[spoiler:WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[DarkAndTroubledPast Their childhood was, to say the least, horrible.]] They don't quite suceed (with Albert being a MagnificentBastard and all), and end up as Albert's [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]]. [[AlasPoorVillain Even Grey and Ashe feel pity for them]], [[SaveTheVillain and would have tried to save them if they had the chance.]]]]

* RapunzelHair: In his true body, given that he's now only the size of Grey/Ashe, but retains his hair's length.

* WithMyHandsTied: His real body appears to be in a restraining jacket. It doesn't stop him from duping Prometheus and Pandora though. He finally breaks out of it when he Megamerges.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Blue hair by default. When in his second, original body (DAN-000), it's freaking ''magenta''.
** WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Didn't exactly have white hair as stated above, but he would have if he had used his backup body (see [[spoiler:Grey above]] for more details).

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: In Japanese, Tethys (Thetis) is voiced by Hisayoshi Suganuma, which makes him [[{{Bleach}} Wonderweiss Margera]]. Siarnaq is Wataru Hatano, which means that he's also [[SoulEater Harvar D. Éclair]], [[NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu Ayase Yuto]], and [[StreetFighter Rufus]]. In English, Aeolus is... '''''[[{{Tekken}} Paul Phoenix]]?!'''''

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Because he's technically "born" at the intro stage (and possibly because Pandora's going to kill him), he talks rude to people, as The Sage Trinity and later Aile noted. However, he's ready to help everybody in need, because he's inspired by the Hunters who found him and brought him to the Hunters' camp. See also TheMessiah below.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: With some [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair sky blue hues]] [[HairColorDissonance in there]], but you should get the point. [[spoiler:In fact, it's very similar to that of Albert's, possibly serving as a very, ''very'' early visual cue.]]

* XanatosGambit[=/=]XanatosRoulette: An epic one (of the AncientConspiracy variety) spanning ''centuries''. He's just ''that'' good, even though it didn't quite come to fruition.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[strike:Aeolus and Thetis. Siarnaq gains them while Megamerged.]] ''Every single one of them''. It makes their TeamShot with Master Thomas look all the more sinister.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Due to the fact that he literally has nothing to remember. According to Master Albert's plans, Model A ''was'' supposed to fill-in Grey on the details should anything have happened to Albert.

* ScrewDestiny: This is his eventual response to his CloningBlues...

* TheUnfavourite: More or less. His "dad" is indifferent to him and unlike his "siblings", Grey had no real use in the Game of Destiny. He was just "Plan B".

* [[spoiler: EvilRedhead: As of TheReveal, but he could also be a [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned]] Redhead.]]
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Possibly.

* [[spoiler: MagnificentBastard: He set up a XanatosRoulette of ''his own'' to combat Albert and killed off his former ally by making it into a mission for the heroes. As much magnificence as Albert whipped out, Thomas may have actually outdone him.]]

* [[spoiler: XanatosRoulette: Apparently knowing of Albert's plans, he devised one of his own to counter Albert. ''And it worked''.]]

-> An enigmatic duo working for Serpent. While it appears that they're helping him revive Model W, they're really "the voices of Model W", aiming to expedite the "[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destiny of destruction]]".

They were last seen at Albert's mercy in an exploding underwater base located underneath a volcano. [[OrIsIt Their deaths have yet to be confirmed.]]

* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Older Siblings]]: They only care about themselves and each other, and have nothing but disdain for their "younger brother", Grey. And there's, you know, ''trying to kill him''.

* BloodKnight: Prometheus is quite nihilistic, enjoying nothing more than mindless violence and a good fight. However, this may have been [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] after your fight with them in ''ZX Advent''; he hints that his having to do senseless fighting was one of the reasons as to why he and Pandora wanted to betray and kill Albert in the first place.

** And if anything, when they were discovered to be WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds and then subsequently ''owned'' by Albert (in the span of five minutes or so, no less), their popularity among the fandom hit critical mass. [[YourMileageMayVary For some]], ''that'' was Albert's MoralEventHorizon.

* {{Psycho Prototype}}s: To Grey, although he was intended to become just like them.

* RapunzelHair: If the brief shot of them before being permanently bound to fragments of Model W is anything to go by. After the merger, Prometheus always has it, and [[BadassLonghair uses it]] [[ImprobableWeaponUser to]] ''[[PrehensileHair kill]]'' [[CrazyAwesome you]].

* TheStarscream: They fully intended to destroy Albert when the time came. And they did... just not the one they expected.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[DarkAndTroubledPast Their childhood was, to say the least, horrible.]] They don't quite suceed (with Albert being a MagnificentBastard and all), and end up as Albert's [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]]. [[AlasPoorVillain Even Grey and Ashe feel pity for them]], [[SaveTheVillain and would have tried to save them if they had the chance.]]

* YourDaysAreNumbered
** StalkedByTheBell
** CriticalExistenceFailure

* BigBad: For ZX Advent.

* DiscontinuityNod[=/=]ContinuitySnarl: His origin story for Model A ("A" as in "Albert", ''not'' "[[MegaManX Axl]]"), as well as whether or not Master Albert is controlling Model W or vice versa. These plot points (''especially'' the former) have been eating at fans to this very day, leading to a ''Biblical flood'' of EpilepticTrees. For example, the fact that Albert ''clearly'' says "Axl Bullets" while firing his Homing Shots ''does not'' help.

** ForTheEvulz? I mean, it's not like he ''needs'' to become the Mega Man King to get his revenge. With model P, Sianarq might as well just go in there and haul shurikens on his backstabbers. It's not as easy to backstab a guy when he has a ''freakin' radar'' on his head.

-> The boss of Vent and Aile, he runs a self-titled carrier service that will deliver "anything, anywhere". Unassuming at a first glance, there is much more to him than meets the eye. [[{{Expy}} Despite his uncanny resemblance to Zero]], [[WordOfGod the two characters are not one in the same.]]

* CannotSpitItOut: Model A seems to be suffering from LaserGuidedAmnesia at first, but by the time they reach Ouroboros, Master Albert says that Model A should have remembered everything by that point, namely the fact that Model A was created by Master Albert and that Grey is his backup body.
* CloningBlues: He finds out that he's Master Albert's defective backup body.

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: Surprisingly enough, he has the same voice actor as X in ''Mega Man X7'', Peter Von Gomm. By proxy, this also makes him [[DeadRising Frank West]] [[TheOtherDarrin in]] ''[[CapcomVsWhatever Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]: [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate All Stars]]''.
** This is a blatant lie, as [[{{Discontinuity}} there is no such game]] as ''Mega Man X7''.

-> The female lead of ''ZX Advent''. A Hunter in search of loot and fortune (or as she calls it, "booty"). Her ambush on the Raider's air fleet had her biting off a lot more than she ever hoped to chew - namely "The Game of Destiny" as well as Master Albert's fabrications and [[LukeIAmYourFather relation to her]].

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Uses several Model W fragments to deflect Grey/Ashe's attacks during TheReveal. As Mega Man Model W, he is surrounded by several Model W-esque bits that must be destroyed before you can damage him. Said bits also double as his method of attack, including forming a ''{{BFS}}''.

** WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Didn't exactly have white hair as stated above, but he would have if he had used his backup body (see Grey above for more details).

* Bishonen: Go ahead, look at him.

** TakeUpMySword: First with his relinquishing of Model Z, and a second time at the end of the game, where he gives gives Vent/Aile the mission to "guide this country to peace".

* DualBoss: In the first game, they just alternate their attacks. They get {{Combination Attack}}s by ''Advent''.

-> An enigmatic duo working for Serpent. While it appears that they're helping him revive Model W, they're really "the voices of Model W", aiming to expedite the "[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destiny of destruction]]".

Becoming his {{Xanatos Sucker}}s, their pent-up, centuries-long feelings of hate and rage served to fuel Model W's resurrection. They were last seen at Albert's mercy in an exploding underwater base located underneath a volcano. [[OrIsIt Their deaths have yet to be confirmed.]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[DarkAndTroubledPast Their childhood was, to say the least, horrible.]] They don't quite suceed (with Albert being a MagnificentBastard and all), and end up as Albert's {{Xanatos Sucker}}s. [[AlasPoorVillain Even Grey and Ashe feel pity for them]], [[SaveTheVillain and would have tried to save them if they had the chance.]]

* ImageSong: A vocal version of his first stage theme ("Through the Lightning") appears on ''ZX Gigamix'', titled "Be One".

* FutureBadass: If it she is indeed Alouette (and frankly, who are we kidding?), she must have [[TookALevelInBadass taken at least a few levels in badassery]], going from Ciel's TagalongKid to TheCaptain of The Guardians.
