(Megaman X & Zero within battle armor)
Mechanical life such as robots, androids, and now reploids have always facinated me for some reason another. TRANSFORMERS as well as characters from other series such as Data from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION have tapped into that love. And now a certain other path has been made.
Known as Megaman within the United States (Rockman within Japan) the series first began as a number of video games for the Nintendo game system. Other games, as well as a new series entitled "Megaman X" soon followed. Although the games themselves were basically of the usual "bang-bang, shoot-the-baddie" type genre there is a fairly interesting storyline behind them. Information regarding these official, as well as not-so-official, backgrounds can be found in massive abundance upon the web.
There was one Megaman Mush with an interesting theme found.
What is a MUSH? Mush stands for Multi-User-Shared-Hallucination. Basically it's an online role-playing game in which one sends in an application for a character and, if approved, takes on the personality of the character and portrays the character within a certain envoirnment and circumstances. It's much like an on-going, interactive story.
...and, as with any story, there are chapters yet to be told...
