Jump 220: Mega Man Classic
>The Lovers, reversed: Irresponsibility and indecision.
This is a setting full of kid robots, basically. Why shouldn't I enjoy not needing to be responsible for a while?
>Apparent age: 16
>Setting: Megaman Megamix
Well, it's not a setting that takes itself TOO seriously, but it's not self-parodying or 24/7 comedy. I can get behind this. At least until the Stardroids show up. Then the kid gloves come off.
>Identity: Light Number (-100)
Huh. I've got a serial number... DLN... hm, no, there's not a number there, just the DLN scratched out. How nice.
>Drawbacks: Comm Chatter (+100), Unstable Prototype (+200), Faulty Power Core (+300)
Well, that explains a lot; I'm a testbed that got thrown out on the scrap heap while incomplete, and I've got the same sort of flaw in my power system that Proto has. Pretty sure I wasn't supposed to come online, let alone be self-aware enough to start cobbling things back together. And somehow Roll got my number. I'm sure she'll be bugging me. Constantly.
>Basic Robotics (1400)
Well, if I'm going to pull myself together, I should at least have half a clue what I'm doing. I'm sure this is probably not going to be enough to fix my power supply, but it should at least make me not look like a skeletal frame with wires everywhere.
>Civilian Mode (Free, Light Number)
Oh hey a non-threatening unpowered appearance! How handy.
>Solar Powered (1300, Light Number)
At least I don't have to rely on my faulty power core ALL of the time. Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time on the beach, though. I wonder if I can somehow hook myself up to solar panels so I can do maintenance on my core, somewhere down the line?
>Robot Master Builder (700)
Oh, here we go. Now I know how to make my own robot masters if I need to. More importantly... with this, I should be able to bring myself completely up to modern spec! Assuming, of course, that I can actually work on myself without having to be offline in order to get said upgrades.
>Weapon Copy System (400, Light Number)
Like I said. A test bed. It certainly doesn't hurt that putting things back together gave me what ended up being a functional copy of the weapon copy system that the blue bomber got, right?
>Plasma Buster (Free, Light Number)
Well, when it's using its default ammo it's not full-auto and it doesn't charge, but I can still plink something to death if I must.
>Beam Saber (0)
Now we're talking. I mean, sure, if I wanted to I could whip out a lightsaber, but quite frankly this thing is much more powerful. We can chalk this up to being an early prototype weapon that works when it shouldn't as well.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that sometime during the early Megamix plot, I'm going to come across Rock and Roll and (against my better judgement) give them a way to contact me. Which Roll never. Stops. Using.

Yes, Roll, I know what those robots are. No, Roll, I don't need you to call for help. Yes, Roll, I know my power core is offline and I could be moving faster if I would just get it repaired but dad kind of threw me out without realizing I was alive. No, I don't hold a grudge but will you SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO ORDER A SANDWICH.

Also I'm going to punch Bass somehow. And then let him punch me back. Because this is a thing. Gotta toughen him up a little and realize that being the strongest robot means more than just raw power.

When the Stardroids come and throw everything into total disarray, starting to take down all the robot masters in the world ... well, I'm going to put myself in the way. Literally just stand there, in front of the robots Terra's arrived to dispatch, with nothing but myself and a white beam saber.

Beam sabers are bullshit, my sword skills are absolutely ridiculous, combat precognition is even more ridiculous, and by that point I'm really hoping that I've either repaired my core or somehow rigged a replacement. If I can at least fight Terra to a standstill, I should be able to ensure that the world doesn't fall deeply enough into despair to power up Darkstar significantly, meaning that if Sunstar pops out, he'll be underpowered and relatively easier picking.

Also I might possibly see how well the local tech interfaces with Jumper Bullshit Technology(tm) because it's a fun way to be and it means that everyone here is not nearly as badly off when it comes to all of those insane out-of-context villains toward the end of Gigamix, not to mention it might help make robots be seen as an actual species rather than just disposable tools. I hope. Because that limited lifespan law nonsense has GOT to be prevented.

Sigh.

I'm going to have to turn on the charisma perks and try to influence that, aren't I?
