Character name: Dynamo
Fandom: Megaman X5
Timeline: During the events of MMX5
Age: He appears to be in his late twenties to early thirties, though it's really anyone's guess as to how old he actually is, and he's not telling.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths:
Dynamo is a reploid who's of the mercenary variety. He's equipped with most weapon systems such as a built in arm cannon. His programs allow him to teleport from place to place without fault. He's able to "jump" twice in the air, or at a long distance with the help of small boosters in his legs. Dynamo wields a dual beam saber which fits in a compartment upon his belt. He's able to use this weapon as a shield by spinning it fast enough to deflect attacks, and use it in a boomerang fashion by throwing it at his opponent and having it come back at him. As his name implies, he's able to wield electro-magnetic energy.
How would they use their abilities?:
The guy would use his abilities only for his own best interest. Let's face it, he's only out to help himself.
Appearance:
Dynamo is a tall model of a reploid covered in an armored body. The shell of the armor covers his chest, shoulders, forearms, hips, and knees down to his feet. His color scheme is dark grays and blues, mostly of a matte-finish.. A white collar protects the base of his neck, and in the middle is a bright red jewel. Along his upper chest is another yellow plate, which serves no purpose other than style. Within the center of the chest guard, is a small white dish... also merely for style. His shoulders are protected by two round armor guards that resemble pokeballs from Pokemon. In any case, they have a solid dark steely blue plate covering the top half of a white orb. More parts of armor include a golden belt around his waist, as well as a white 'hip guard' armor piece. Behind the belt sits a small latch, used to hold a double beamed saber. Attached to the belt, upon Dynamo's hips are two armored pouches, one on each side. His armored boots were slightly different from X or Zero’s, instead of coming to a clean point of the toe, the mercenary's own set ends rather bluntly. The tips are white with the main parts of the leg armor being of the same dark colors as the rest of the armor pieces. A large yellow-gold stripe is placed along the sides of the bootlegs they even come with a small little white 'kneecap' guard. Underneath all this armor is a darkened grey 'under suit' depending all on what you'd like to call this part of the armor. He has the same sort of loose-limbed lankiness one might expect from an older teenager and not a machine. Hair falls down to the middle of his back, and is a deep silvery blue in color. His helmet is adorned with two large metal jewels upon the side, following a rim along the sides of the helm, almost resembling a hat. Down the middle rests a heavy black fin. The face of the helmet is open, complete with an optional visor.
Background/Personality:
Dynamo's background is sketchy at best... he's an unknown reploid who believes he's strong enough to take out the famous X and Zero of the Hunters. However he teams up with Sigma, to help destroy an entire space colony without even questioning the loss of lives in the process. With the task of throwing this colony out of its orbit to crash into earth accomplished, he's instructed then to slow X and Zero's progress of finding ways to keep the colony from slamming into earth. He's cocky and arrogant, with the thought that no one can best him, and if others take things so seriously... well that'll be the cause of their own downfall. With being so ready to throw away the lives of others, and so loyal to Sigma, one might think the fellow is infected with the Maverick virus as well. Yet he's clearly doing all of this with his own free will.

1st person sample:
[The video feed flicks on, and there's Dynamo. Trying his best to look completely amazed and bewildered by his current situation. He seems to be poking through a few things he's found during his stay here.]
Well, well, well... what do we got here? I see a bit of junk... some more junk... Ooo, this looks like it'll come in handy. Who am I kidding, that's junk as well...!
[He finally turns away from the camera for a moment and turns back to it, arms folded in front of him.]
Right then. I'm sure this is broadcasted somewhere for everyone to see, so before I forget... I'm Dynamo. It'd be just peachy if one of you out there would be so kind as to help rid me of this boredom.
3rd person sample:
It was soon to be nightfall, as the sun was slowly disappearing over the horizon. The slums seemed void of life, abandoned, darkness creeping over the broken down buildings. Yet within the destruction and rubble, life had found a way to survive.
The slums, housed some of the saddest and pathetic lot, clinging for life. Yet gangs of thieves, thugs, assassins, and other such lurked about the ruins as well, almost thriving on the misery of others. At times fights would break out, much like a wolf pack fighting for territory. As such in the animal kingdom, it was necessary to rid the opposing force of its group leader.
Such was the job of a hired Reploid mercenary by the name of Dynamo. He could often be found alone, away from the company of others. Every now and then he would lurk out of hiding to socialize with others. He seemed to be an okay guy, happy, chipper, but then he had another side to him. The other side being one ready to drop friendship at the drop of the hat. When those around him realized he was quick to turn on them, they decided it best to all out avoid the silver haired rep. He wasn't at all trustworthy.
His social status problems weren’t on his mind this current evening. Having been perched in a small broken doorway, he seemed to be waiting for something. In fact he was hunting. Dynamo’s tall and lanky frame didn’t seem the type that could sneak through debris without being detected, but quite the contrary. His long limbs allowed him to slink about almost soundlessly. His body was quite flexible much to the surprise of his foes.
Woe to the human thug who was his target tonight. Being the ‘man’ for hire, he found himself exterminating humans and others of his own kind all the time. At first, Dynamo didn’t think he was capable of such an act. Yet when it came down to it, he told himself he’d kill only for the sake of remaining alive, and found no problem with executing a life. He didn’t have to take the lives of others all the time though. There were times when one desired an object they lacked, and so with proper payment he’d fetch the item like a mere dog.
Having his mind wandering to past events nearly caused the Reploid to miss his target. In the dark of the night his target, a rival gang leader and a few members, failed to notice the figure in hiding. Dynamo had actually tricked the man into meeting up within the general vicinity to share information. Though no one showed up, and it caused the human to grow a little wary.
Dynamo narrowed his eyes and listened as the humans chatted amongst each other. He grinned to himself as the gang leader seemed to be preoccupied with the conversation. Yet perhaps the little fleshling should’ve been on guard, as something went slicing through the air.
Such was Dynamo’s stealth attack. His double edged beam saber which could be used as projectile went tearing through the air as he threw it right at the man’s head. There wasn’t nearly enough time for the humans to react to the attack.
A silver haired Reploid watched as a group of three fell to the ground.
With a simple flick of his wrist he reversed the polarity of his saber, and had it return to his hand. It was quick and clean. He’d leave no trace of himself as he stalked away to collect his prize.
Questions?:
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject:
::EDIT::
There are many questions that remain unknown when one should ask Dynamo about himself. Most of these questions will receive little to no answers, due to the fact that the mercenary reploid himself hardly recalls his own past. However he's more than happy to give you a stunning and believable lie about who he is and where he comes from. He came out of the shadows as a wise cracking, arrogant, silver haired menace, whose purpose was to simply interfere and delay both X and Zero in their missions. While a threat, he's not taken too seriously, as more often than not he'll turn away and run.
Anyone sane enough would think twice than to team up with Sigma of the Mavericks, but clearly Dynamo is clearly anything but. Yet it's not easy to say the fellow is insane either.
It's a mystery that Dynamo chooses to remain alone. It might be programmed into him, and yet it might be caused from previous events unknown. All one can say, is he's there to be a pest. He thoroughly enjoys bothering and troubling those who have work to be done.
However, when he finds out that he is not as strong and unstoppable as he thought he was, he uses whatever motives he can find to best the Hunters... which leads to some future events of the series.
