Asking the creator of that timeline thread about what was posted, he had a few things to point out. The most important thing I need to fix is instead of it ending with "sealed himself up for a century," it should be changed to "sealed himself for a century or so" or something. Is that okay?

I just realized why you've been saying that OCRE. Yeah, The KKK is not a good album abbreviation, man.

OCRE and I have already named the Gen3 remakes. LandRuby and SeaSapphire. Or something like that.

Okay, fixed up. And since X has Zero 2 as a game in his bio, I guess Zero can too...

That... sounds... epic!! Especially the "barely any copypasta" part! Keep it up, man. You're doing a great job helming this project!

They're gonna keep HMs in, count on it. But they should at least make them more useful in battle; the majority of them suck in-battle. Surf and Waterfall, however, owned.

CURSE THAT WILD PROFESSOR OAK! QUICK, USE THE MASTER BALL! rofl

Happy birthday Willrock! Now get to your DKC3 track!

First off, the forum thread is some of the most accurate info there is in relation to the timeline of the X series; the person who compiled it double, triple, dodectuple checked his facts. And most of it is gained from instruction manuals and in-game events. I'm not listing any of the Zero games because it's a differently designed Zero in those games; I'm going for this Zero design as it is his appearance in the X series, not the Zero series. I know it's just an art-style swap, but if X is in twice, I hope that someday Zero-series Zero can be in as well, and we can link that game then. I didn't know what game the image was from... eheheh... Reploids do in fact have souls; see Mega Man Xtreme 2, known in Japan as Rockman X2: Soul Eraser. The events in that game were later referenced by Alia in, I think it was X5, as the Soul Erasure incident. I'd explain the W, but wouldn't bringing up the fact that Wily created Zero be spoilers for the average person reading the bio? After all, that information is only found out via beating X4 and more importantly X5. I'll work on the rest. EDIT: Okay, edited. A few more things. The quote is from an anime cutscene in Mega Man X4, not a separate product. Therefore, he says it in a game. I do not know of anything that relates as to why Zero has the Z-Saber. Therefore, I'm leaving it out. As for ripping off Sigma's arm, it was obviously repaired. If Zero was put back together in X2, there's nothing saying that Sigma couldn't have had his arm reattached.

Sorry, but I just read my quote as "That's pretty damned good..." And yeah... if only... *thinks*

Zero Article by: Mirby (Taylor Brown) Pictured from: Mega Man X6 Created by: Capcom First appearance: 1993 Bio After the awakening of the robot known simply as X, peace reigns. All is calm for eight months, until some of these Reploids go "Maverick" and start destroying the city. A council of Hunters is established to defeat these Mavericks, and Sigma is appointed leader of these Hunters. After two years a group of Hunters move into the "Forbidden Area" somewhere near or in the Rocky Mountains, which hold Dr. Light's lab and other ancient artifacts. Zero awakens, and destroys the Hunters that intruded upon his solitude. Sigma then faces this red Maverick himself to avenge his fallen comrades. During the battle Zero uses Sigma's pride and confidence against him, eventually ripping off one of Sigma's arms. At one point, Sigma gets the upper hand, shattering Zero's helmet gem with a mighty punch and revealing a "W" symbol behind it. While this was exposed, a virus held latent inside Zero's body since his creation is transmitted to Sigma, where it would later become known as the Sigma Virus. After this incident, Zero is taken to Dr. Cain's lab for analysis, as per Sigma's orders. All malice is gone, and Zero wants to fight for the side of good. Under Sigma's wing, he quickly rises to the rank of SA-class Hunter within Sigma's 17th Elite squad. He helps X out quite frequently, especially once the Sigma Virus finally consumes Sigma's soul and turns him Maverick. He was a friend in the first two games in the X series, and finally became partially playable in Mega Man X3. He would be a fully playable character in all subsequent installments, including the Game Boy Color-exclusive Xtreme series. During the events of Mega Man X5, he finally did what he was created to do, and fought X in a battle that was supposed to be to the death. His personality is quite noble, and has sacrificed himself a few other times in the series for the sake of peace. Zero has been known to act brashly, but he is more often tactically minded and refuses to serve dark purposes. His power and abilities are much greater than that of X, something that X uses as a goal to reach. He'll fight whenever fighting is necessary, and always stand up for those he considers friends. After the X-series, he seals himself up for a century, only to be awakened in order to save the Resistance in the first Mega Man Zero game on Game Boy Advance. Quote "What am I fighting for?!?!?"

Although, as was said previously, try to link games in the Appearances section to their pages here. It might be hard, due to the lack of remixes from the series.

Stevo hasn't posted yet soo.... HARPY BROTHDAY! *hides from Stevo*

He should have been. But the bio's still in WIP stage; it's in the thread on the Projects board.

For those too lazy to click the link. Taken from RPM's B/W discussion thread. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVue5B-BKdQ Official commercial (I'm guessing) for B/W in Japan. Some great new footage in there.

Well, most of what transpires between X-series and Zero-series is SPOILERS for events in the Zero-series, so I won't put that in. And he dies and comes back to life a few times anyways...

There's no reasoning as to his design. As for the fight in X2, that's not part of the true storyline (the true storyline is where X collects all parts of Zero). But I'll definitely go into detail about X5, since that has the integral X vs. Zero part. My question is this. Should I include who created him? Is it common knowledge that a certain doctor created Zero? EDIT: Okay, added in X5. Now there are a few details that I could add after the X-series, but they're largely important to the Zero games, and once again, SPOILERS. Let me know if I put too many spoilers in the X5 part.

I'll do a quick edit. As for the Zero games, I can't elaborate WITHOUT spoilers. Plus, his memory is gone for a reason that I can't list WITHOUT SPOILERS. And if X is mascot twice, why can't why have X-series Zero and Zero-series Zero? I'm leaving it open for that. EDIT: Okay, fixed some parts. Put as much backstory into Sigma as I could while still keeping this about Zero. And I kept the fight description because it defines why Zero went good and Sigma went evil; it's an integral part of the bio. Plus, SIGMA PAUUNCH!!!

Zero Article by: Mirby (Taylor Brown) Pictured from: Mega Man X Created by: Capcom First appearance: 1993 Bio The year is 21XX; 100 years have passed since the exploits of Mega Man and his battles against Dr. Wily. A new scientist, Dr. Cain, has discovered the lab of Dr. Light. After unsealing the capsule containing X and creating the Reploids, peace reigns. All is calm for eight months, until some of these Reploids go "Maverick" and start destroying the city. A council of Hunters is established to defeat these Mavericks, and Sigma is appointed leader of these Hunters. Sigma was one of the most intelligent Reploids; he contained Dr. Cain's latest circuitry and immunity to all viruses, and he leads the Hunters with great skill. After two years Reploids move into the "Forbidden Area" somewhere near or in the Rocky Mountains, which held Dr. Light's lab and other ancient artifacts. Zero awakens, and destroys the Hunters that were near there. Sigma decides to face this red Maverick himself to avenge his fallen comrades. During the battle Zero uses Sigma's pride and confidence against him, eventually ripping off one of Sigma's arms. At one point, Sigma gets the upper hand, shattering Zero's helmet gem with a mighty punch and revealing a familiar "W" symbol behind it. While this was exposed, the virus held latent inside Zero's body transfers to Sigma, where it would later become known as the Sigma Virus. After this incident, Zero is taken to Dr. Cain's lab for analysis, as per Sigma's orders. All malice is gone, and Zero wants to fight for the side of good. Under Sigma's wing, he quickly rises to the rank of SA-class Hunter within Sigma's 17th Elite squad.

He was a friend in the first two games in the X series, and finally became partially playable in Mega Man X3. He would be a fully playable character in all subsequent installments, including the Game Boy Color-exclusive Xtreme series. In Mega Man X5, during the Colony Fall incident, as it came to be known, the space colony Eurasia was set on a collision course with Earth by Sigma. The old cannon known as Enigma failed, but the backup plan did. Zero was sent in an old spaceship to divert the course and succeeded for the most part, returning to Earth safely. However, an old area was revealed, and both him and X investigated. It was in here that he finally did what he was created to do; fight X in a battle to the death. However, both survived, and went on to fight Sigma. It was here that Zero sacrificed himself for peace, in order that X, and the world, may live. His personality is quite noble, and has sacrificed himself a few other times in the series for the sake of peace. Zero has been known to act brashly, but he is more often tactically minded and refuses to serve dark purposes. He'll fight whenever fighting is necessary, and always stand up for those he considers friends.

Nothing except that it comes out in Japan on September 17, I think... EDIT: September 18.

Umm, the voting's over, Koriantor... it ended last Monday.

I call dibs on Zero, since I promised I'd do a bio on a character I nominated, and I nominated Zero. Got to keep my word, right?

Should've read the link first. Meh. I still like him.

I nominated Zero, he made it, so dibs on the bio for him. Still no Axl though...

Pretty cool. But "Go the Distance" is no longer up... I'm sad now.

You do realize we'll need pics, right?
