Welcome to the Flux!

We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.

More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!

The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.

We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.

So don't be shy, come on in, introduce yourself, and become a part of our laid-back community. But don't forget to look over the rules.

Premise: The aftermath of the Repliforce War left many problems for those left to clean up. Those who weren't perhaps the most glamorous of heroes. The unfortunate sacrifice and misunderstanding that started it all was left unresolved in the end. Those who had been a part of the Repliforce were on probation, given tasks that were monitored by Hunter HQ. Even now their allegiances are considered suspect, creating a scapegoat race of reploids without any true freedoms.

The wreckage of the Sky Lagoon, and later the reploid base of Europa Station were found in the deserts of the west along with countless resources that could still be plundered by both the Maverick Hunters and other organizations. Humans, reploids, cyborgs and androids all living in communities built up around these technological junkyards, all working together to take part in the joy of discovery, but perhaps missing the true tragedy of their advent...

The ironically named center of 'Last Chance' was one of these. A Maverick Hunter outpost surrounded by a community of junk runners, inventors, artificers and those willing to take advantage of the wallets of those headed for the wrecks. Too small for much tourism, it still sports a cafe and a small inn, suitable for both organic and mechanical life. Little greenery exists here in the rocky canyons, and more often than not a dust storm sweeps by during long excursions.

The base itself is outfitted for training, one of it's primary functions as the derelict ruins offer the opportunity at search and rescue training as well as other survival skills. These are the first responders, the stealthy, and the die-hards. They are also often those who couldn't make it in general society.

But the chain of command is strong, respect is earned and given. There is a surprisingly strong work ethic here at the edge of civilization. Even those left over from disbanded Repliforce units can find a home here. And those with little chances elsewhere.

However there is something below the wreckage of Europa's fractured left wing. Something that was there even before the fallout... Something that someone had taken time and effort to keep hidden there...

Only after the entrance to what appears to be an abandoned shelter is found do things start getting a little strange in Last Chance. Brewing antagonism between factions rises, strange maverick sightings, and a new commander at the base could signal the beginning of another dangerous turn in history.

Zero and X can't come play the hero. This is just a remote base in the middle of nowhere. In fact... it's doesn't even have a full write up in the database. But a familiar face is hiding beneath the wreckage. One that views Last Chance as a good start for their plans to work their to the top and bring down one last rival...




Playable races

Humans - probably not your most sturdy, usually humans stay behind their walls and let the reploids take care of anything dangerous they don't feel like messing with, including other reploids. But some take their chances, and others work to help create better opportunities for both, refusing to view their technical progeny as second class creations like many have.

Humanoid - The X universe's equivalent of a cyborg. It is simply a term to describe a human with mechanical parts in some form or another. Usually from traumatic injury, though sometimes a human can desire to augment their own body to this degree. Most are viewed with stigma, feared by humans for the lengths they've gone to bypass nature. Even reploids tend to avoid these types, leaving them as loners, only able to fully integrate with others of their kind.

Androids - not quite on the same terms as a reploid, these life forms were created not based on the data for X, but a split in the field of robotics. Only one company has succeeded in creating these more realistic models that unless properly scanned can pass for a human quite easily. That is until met on the field of battle.

Reploids - They appear either male or female. They usually have a human face (and sometimes, hair), as well as bulging armor around the forelimbs and upper body. However, many are built to actually resemble robotic animals with humanoid traits. For our purposes, human type reploids are refereed to when using this name. As machines, Reploids do not age, although they still require rest and maintenance to remain functional.

Mutos Reploid - These are based on animals and mythological creatures. They stand out for their completely mechanical appearance, and they usually possess skills and weapons not available to ordinary Reploids. The appearance and abilities of each Mutos Reploid are generally related to the tasks they are created for, allowing for an unlimited variety of Mutos Reploids. On a mental level, Mutos Reploids are as humanlike as their regular counterparts; each Mutos Reploid has a unique personality and way of thinking, which can be affected by their personal experiences.





Just an idea I've had... don't want to give to much away off the bat but it's been brewing in my head for -years-. Don't have everything written yet and may be a few weeks before I can actually start anything.

Well, since no one else feels like replying lemme add a little fuel to this fire.

Would this be AU or canon universe? Both maybe? X's existance would have a major impact on pretty much everything.

Where would this rank on the timeline of megaman? X series(I assume?) Zero, ZX, or something inbetween of your own creation?

Do we get mavericks, and if so, by proxy, maverick hunters?

And finally, are the metal blades still overpowered in this RP?

Timeline is after X4, staying in the X-verse but the universe is probably a mix of both. Nothing blatantly disregarding the current universe, but things not actually included? Possibilities that don't contradict.

The base mentioned is a hunter base, so yes, there are mavericks. But this is for special training and isn't a usual target, nor is the wreckage field around them, though there have been occasional sightings. There's more a feeling of factional tension that's been building for some time.


There will be some things included from later series in prototype form. Biometals perhaps, psuedo-cyber elves.

Mavericks also won't be all beasties in this. So... less racism >_>;

Metal blades being OP? Isn't that a staple? Though I encourage weapon creation, I still want things realistic for the setting.

If no one is up for a Megaman RP I'll just keep the idea shelved for a while.

I have my interest in the idea still, as you know. o= But for now, it may be better to put it in storage until a more opportune time later?
