Mega Man ZX Advent Episode 2 *REOPENING!*
Project Overview
I had this project up before BUT due some technical problems with the Windows updates and stuff and the fact my old Discord account got hacked, I lost EVERYTHING for this episode. So now I'm reopening it again. If any of you auditioned and got selected before this project, I humbly ask that you audition again. I want to revive this project in high hopes!. This episode will include 2 stages and their bosses; Tower of Verdure (Rospark boss) and Arctic Ice Float (Chronoforce as a boss).

Ashe (アッシュ Asshu) was apparently found by the Hunters after a maverick attack destroyed her home town and was raised by them. She was inspired to become a hunter because of her surroundings, and she decided to write her own "story." As she got older, she eventually did become a great hunter, and was hired by Legion to hunt down a Reploid who illegally salvaged a Biometal.
She is a very feisty and tomboyish girl, even talking back to the Sage Trinity at least once. She is also quite ambitious, as evidenced by her desire to leave her mark in history. Her persistence matches her ambition, as she is constantly seeking her next "booty" and will stop at nothing short of death to get it; she will never allow anyone else to take credit for her work, which is the reason she boards the train transporting Model A to Legion. However, Ashe is also plagued by the mystery of her unknown origins and the lack of information in Legion's database is quite a blow to her. The lack of a real identity leaves a void in Ashe, and her quest to become someone known could be her idea of finding a meaning to her own life, and this is also the root of her strong personality. She also has a unique perspective of her life; since she wishes to go down in the history books, she speaks of her own life as a story being written.
Although Ashe rarely demonstrates it, she is also very compassionate and will do everything she can to help those in need, even if they are enemies. She not only saved Raiders from an attack by Atlas, but she also spared Atlas' life and later expressed a desire to save Prometheus and Pandora after learning about their horrible past. Even the discovery of her family ties with Albert doesn't cause Ashe to hesitate, and she rejects her own heritage in the name of the greater good.
[she tries to unlock the doors that closed behind her on Tower of Verdure due to a security malfunction] It's no good, the doors are locked!
[To Rospark after Gerry has bolted out of the room, angrily] So, you're the one who caused the security system to malfunction! What are you doing here!?
[Later on to Atlas who mocked her of having "no ideals"] I don't need ideals, I have my pride. I can't stand people like you who are always looking down on others.
Model A, 'The Copy Mega Man', is a Biometal from the Mega Man ZX series. Biometal "Model Albert" was created by Master Albert as a backup system for his entire plan and knowledge, which is locked with cyphers. His appearance and powers are a homage to the Mega Man X series character Axl.
Biometal Model A gets its name from Master Albert, who created it as his personal back-up system. It is unknown what happened to Model A after his creation, Albert presumably hiding him somewhere. Model A had no memories of his origin. Years later, Model A was found by Raiders in ancient ruins, but they lost it during an aerial Maverick attack led by Prometheus. Some Hunters that took the task to retrieve the Biometal managed to take Model A and start to transport it to Legion with a train, but they are also attacked by Mavericks. During the attack, Ashe/Grey are attacked by Prometheus and Pandora and megamerge with Model A, becoming the Model A Mega Man. By defeating powerful enemies, Model A absorbs the DNA Core into its database, allowing the user to access the new form and its powers, albeit at a somewhat limited scale.
After taking care of the Mavericks in the train, Model A decides to stay with Ashe/Grey, although he initially disapproves the ally's heroic attitude and prefers to avoid combat. When Model A defeats a Mega Man, a cypher within him is unlocked. When Vent/Aile is defeated, the last cypher is unlocked and Model A discovers his origin and guesses the origin of Ashe/Grey, but decides to not reveal it yet. The truth is eventually revealed by Master Albert inside Ouroboros, and now that his plan was in motion, he says that Model A is no longer necessary and will be destroyed alongside Ashe/Grey, who are only able to megamerge with Model A due to having his DNA. After a fierce battle, Ashe/Grey manage to defeat Albert, but Ashe/Grey collapses and is rescued by Vent/Aile. After the battle, Model A decides to stay with Ashe/Grey.
Model W!? This humongous thing is a Biometal!?
Be careful, Ashe! There are thorns everywhere. Oh yeah! You can morph into Rospark! Press the +Control Pad up in front of vines and poles, and Rospark will grab hold of them. You can also move sideways, vine to vine, or pole to pole. Just press the Attack Button while holding the +Control Pad left or right to whip out Rospark's arms. Hold the Attack button and release it to do an electric attack! Oh? It looks like Rospark has one more attack! Press the other Attack button to extend Rospark's thorns. Holding this Attack button and releasing it will also do an electric attack. It's a lot to remember all at once, so look at it again on the Profile Screen.
Shoot!... Who do they think they are, taking advantage of our ignorance! Now I want to go all the way and win this game even more!
Master Albert (マスター・アルバート), also known as Doctor Albert and called Mr. Albert by Hedgeshock the Erinaceroid, is the main antagonist of Mega Man ZX Advent. He was formerly one of the Sage Trinity, the proclaimed masters of the world in charge of the most powerful corporation, Legion, but betrayed them as he begun to speed up his centuries-long plan by collecting all of the fragments of Biometal Model W to "reset the world".
What appears to be a member of the Sage Trinity is actually a decoy, as revealed when Pandora and Prometheus turn on him and destroy his body.
It is possible that he has a connection to Serpent and, indirectly, Ciel or Dr. Weil, considering the numerous Model W are actually pieces of Ragnarok infused with the evil soul of Weil, the fact that it was Ciel who found Model W and created Models Z and X to counter it, and also the fact that Serpent was not only the first victim of Model W's evil influence but also its nature (as well as the fact that Aeolus's cipher stated a little-known code made by Albert that Maverick survivors were to report to Legion to get a blood donation from him, which also implies that Serpent was a Maverick survivor, as he was seen in the cipher).
Albert usually tends to be gentle, mature, and relaxed, but desired to make a world in which humans and Reploids may reach "evolution's extreme"; however, he comes to understand that humans and Reploids are incurably flawed, leading to "emptiness and misery" and evolutionary stagnation. So he decides to take it upon himself as the creator of the current iteration of the world and self-proclaimed "supreme being" to cleanse it of its deficiencies by destroying both, causing the world to "reset" in order to restore balance to its imperfect state. After this, Albert plans "to bring new life into the world" to replace humanoids "and protect its future."
He is a smart, calm, and intelligent man, but at the same time, insane. He was the "certain man who created Model W" that Prairie mentioned. He acts rather indifferent to his "son" Grey, constantly calling him a "defective," whilst he is more sympathetic towards Ashe, showing her far more respect (even expressing some regret towards having to kill Ashe prior to their battle as she was his flesh and blood). In addition, he also possessed delusions of godhood, as evidenced by his statements shortly before fighting Ashe and Grey for the final time. However, he does acknowledge their abilities after his defeat, but at same time curses them to "rot" in their earned peace.
This is Albert! Are you alright Ashe!? That old tower was built to surveil the surrounding area. The security has been fortified against Mavericks, but there seems to be a malfunction. There should be a computer at the top that controls the security system. You must get there and disarm the system, Ashe.
Finally, we were able to reach you. Are you OK? We've verified that the security system has indeed been disarmed. Now, you should be able to continue.
Rospark the Floroid (ローズパーク・ザ・フラワロイド Rōzupāku za Furawaroido, "Rospark the Floweroid" in Japan) is a rose-based Pseudoroid from the Mega Man ZX series who attacks by using electricity. He is a light-weight Pseudoroid designed to fight effectively even on the most difficult terrain.
In regards to personality, Rospark tends to speak in a dramatic manner, using terms related to flowers. His tone of voice is also shown to be somewhat flamboyant and somewhat effeminate, although when doing battle with them it's slightly higher pitched and more tense. His reaction towards the Mega Man Model A varies depending on whether the player is controlling Grey or Ashe. He seems to be elated by Grey's presence, calling him a "handsome boy", but expresses sheer antipathy towards Ashe, claiming at one point that he despises "pesky little girls". He seems to have a similar elation to Gerry the Raider, based on his comments to him while terrorizing him. The Japanese manual and website imply that his mannerisms were the result of faulty circuitry.
For a Raider to make it this far is quite something... *evil laugh* I like you! Accept my thorny embrace and allow your soul to be scattered like petals on the breeze! [to Ashe after she said that she's the one he wants] ...What, a girl?! I'm busy. Just wait there! I'll get to you when I finish ripping this man's soul out.
You know, you're really starting to get on my nerves! Now look what you've done! You've let my sacrifice get away! What am I doing here? OK, I'll tell you... Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Rospark. I sacrifice those unfortunate enough to wander into this tower! You too can become a sacrifice... For the strength of the new king... Biometal Model W!
[after getting defeated by Ashe] *mutter* The nerve! That strength... How!? I'm wilting... wilting! Yeeeargh!
Gerry is a timid Raider who is first found in the Tower of Verdure with Rospark.
[to Rospark, fearful/shaky] *Aargh*! S-Stay away from me!
[to Ashe, same fearful, shaky voice] *Ugh* You're one of the gang who attacked our airship, aren't you!? No... Stop... Stay away...!
[Model W draining off Gerry's life force, death scream] Eeeagghhhh!
Aeolus has an arrogant demeanor and very much a narcissist. He behaves in a prideful manner to all whom he encounters, and deems the human race ignorant of their ways, and cites this as the root cause of all conflict; thus, he plays the Game of Destiny to rid the Earth of ignorance, in order to ultimately end conflict. It is therefore curious that he would cooperate with his Mega Man opponents, Atlas and Thetis in particular. Ironically, when stating how he intends to fight Albert regardless even after Grey and Ashe reveal that Albert used them, he ends up being decried as an idiot alongside the other Mega Men accompanying him.
His personality partially mirrors that of Model H's persona, Sage Harpuia from Mega Man Zero series, particularly in his perfectionist attitude.
In spite of his prideful attitude and misanthropist beliefs, he is somewhat touched by individuals sacrificing themselves for others, as evidenced by his remark to Model Z when the latter decided to take them on by itself to give Vent/Aile enough time to retrieve Ashe/Grey.
Total and utter defeat... That man, unable to endure the terror, fell victim to Model W.
Us? Run away? Don't be stupid! We're letting you live for now. Right now, our first priority is developing Model W. We can take care of you anytime.
Your ignorance knows no bounds... The fact that you even need to ask shows that you are not fit to be a Mega Man. You may live, for now. But the next time we meet will be your last.
Siarnaq's personality is monotone and robotic, making him seem almost lifeless. He is shown to be computer-like, and his speech is capitalized, making him seem more like a Mechaniloid than a Human/Humanoid/Reploid (for example, asking to "INPUT RESPONSE" and declaring "INCOMPREHENSIBLE"). Similarly, in the Japanese version his text is written almost exclusively in katakana, which is typically used to imply a mechanical or monotone voice in that language. Other than that, he seems to have no personality at all, except being at least slightly sadistic, as when the player is defeated by him, he will be heard laughing dementedly. His laugh may show his hidden, or already shown personality, depending on the game's version. If the game is the American version, he will make a robotic and monotonous evil laugh, thus showing his robotic and cold personality. However, in the Japanese version he has a unsettling, deranged-sounding laugh, suggesting he might not be completely stable or even sane. This is supported further by his disk, which speaks of his past being wrought with betrayal.

Master Mikhail is a character from Mega Man ZX Advent. He is one of the Sage Trinity and was named after Mikhail Cossack from the classic Mega Man series. He met Thomas and Albert at some point and formed the coalition government, Legion. He also plays very small role in this episode.
Can you hear me? It's me, Mikhail. It looks like you've stepped into some rough terrain. You should be able to cut a path through the chunks of ice, but the areas that allow access to the crash site are limited. Mega Man, you must find a way to break through.
Mary can be found after the mid boss in the icy platform area.
Brrrr! It's cold. I should have dressed warmer. Er, are you a Hunter too? My name is Mary. Nice to meet you!
Oh... what am I going to do? I caught a Moth Queen but it got away... Aah... won't someone catch it for me? *wink*
My Moth Queen... you caught it for me! You ARE a Hunter! Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you came to my aid! It isn't much... but I want you to have this.
[Mary gives Ashe 100 EC.]
They say Moth Queens are popular with celebrities because they're so beautiful. I'm going to sell these beauties to earn enough money to become a Hunter someday.
Atlas has an exceptionally aggressive disposition and values power above everything else. Having previously fought as a soldier in a country that has been ravaged by Mavericks, she developed the belief that human beings can only evolve during times of war and spurns peace, wherein survival of the fittest as the only justification; thus she plays the Game of Destiny in order to plunge the world into a never-ending state of war in order to spur on human evolution. It is therefore curious that she would cooperate with her Mega Man opponents such as Thetis, who wishes for the complete extermination of the human race.
Her aggressive personality is similar to that of Model F's persona, Fighting Fefnir; however, whereas Fefnir merely lived for the thrill of battle, Atlas is motivated by her hatred of weakness. Similar to Fefnir, however, she was capable of being impressed by her opponent's skills if either beaten or hit with a severe attack, as evidenced by the Japanese version where she yells "impressive!"
[To Thetis] Prometheus said he found someone interesting. I came to see who it was. Thetis, she's nothing more than a kid, like you.
[To Ashe] I'm Atlas, the Flame Mega Man... Chosen One for Model F. How is it that an unenlightened Hunter who has no ideals is a Mega Man?
[To Ashe] I've got no time for some kid who became a Mega Man by accident. You look like you could use a nice, cold dip.
He's a kind person who appears to be quite upstanding and has a fondness for the ocean and sea life. However due to human overpopulation having an adverse effect on the seas, Thetis participates in the Game of Destiny in order to gain the power to restore the earth to its pure state. He considers himself and the other Mega Men to be exceptional beings from the rest of humanity, which he expresses no concern for aside of wanting to rid them for the planet's sake.
[after Atlas' remark of calling him and Ashe a kid] Hey, you're not that much older than me.
[To Ashe] Didn't Prometheus tell you that you'd meet other Mega Men? My name is Thetis, the Ice Mega Man... Chosen One for Model L.
Haha, just as I expected. But... I don't feel like fighting right now. We've got other things to do.
Befitting of his nature, Chronoforce has a tendency to speak in terms relating to time and ice. He starts his speeches with a short laughter, talking to the Mega Man Biometal Model A in a condescending manner. He shows sadistic traits when he announces at a later point of the game that he will take his time "manhandling" the Chosen One.
To hear how I want him to sound like, watch this video. You can use either English or Japanese voice demo as reference. https://youtu.be/79AUKV8FFPU
*Ha ha ha* Welcome to my sub-zero world where even time freezes! You've got some nerve calling yourself a Mega Man, Plebian! You're nothing more than a lowlife commoner! I, Chronoforce will take that Biometal off your hands!
[after being defeated by Ashe] ...You are nothing more than a pawn in the palm... of HIS hand. ...All you can hope to do is just flail about in the little time you have left! *cackle*
Security...thing. You know one of those cumputer thingymajigs that does things like opening doors from command ect. Make it sound like one of those robotic factory annoncy things.
ALERT! ALERT! SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION! ALERT CONDITION 3 IN EFFECT! SEAL ALL EXITS!
