20XX -
In the dawn of a new era in technology, robotics achieved previously inconceivable advancements thanks in part to a small group of scientists. Dr. Thomas Light, Dr. Albert Wily, Dr. Norman Cain, and Dr. Mikhail Cossack, each hailing from different countries, and ways of life. Each came together to create a new form of robotic life. Known as 'reploids', these advance robotic lifeforms can achieve inhuman abilities. Plus although they can typically modify their form to an extent, usually having a battle armor they can morph their body into, they appear completely human. Originally they were only going to have programmable behavior and knowledge, but it was decided after a lengthy argument among the scientists to give them free will. The few original reploids gave way to a legion of more, able to perform specific work for corporations.
Despite all this though the public were divided on these advance devices. Some saw them as a way to help improve every aspect of life, others worried that the reploids would eventually revolt against their creators. However despite that the start of this new age was peaceful, and a hopeful beautiful future. Soon though a strange, but deathly serious epidemic struck, known as 'Sigma Virus', it effects normal reploids, turning them evil and violent towards anyone and anything. The reploids who became effected by this became known as 'maverick reploids' by the media.
As fear over this epidemic rose, the four scientists worked alongside international powers to create The Maverick Hunters Alliance. Along with other scientists, they created or modified reploids to help combat mavericks and hopefully find a source of where the Sigma Virus came from and how to stop it. As the Alliance has come together, the maverick hunters must work together to end the madness brought on the future world.
Guide to the world:
The setting: Set in various places in the world, Rise of the Maverick Hunters takes place in a not-too-distant future setting. Flying cars exist but aren't super common yet, so it still normal to see normal cars on the road and flying cars above. Cities have grown and illuminated in lights and video ad screens. Though society has evolved the desolate parts of the world still exist. Its not a euphoria or a distopian, but rather a middle ground leaning towards euphorian.
Reploid basics:
Reploids have a complete system of recently created metals and technology. Allowing reploids typically to be much stronger (on average able to life 3 tons) and speed (able to reach 60 mph) than normal humans. Though with some adjustments have been made to make them much faster or stronger than others, at the cost of losing whatever helps them otherwise. Others have unique modifications put into them. Able to achieve flight, have combustible systems for creating or spewing fires, or something else of the sort.
The idea of the idea is essentially combining the backstories of the Mega Man and Mega Man X stories into a single set up. While canon characters are preferred, either original robot masters or characters like Zero or Bass. OCs are acceptable as well if they're abilities are pre-approved. The RP will involve missions around the world, with chunks of the reploids also having R n' R from time to time as well.
