[IC Information]
Character Name: Rock Volnutt
Series: Mega Man Legends
Gender: Male
Age:3,000+ 15
Species: Bio-Robotic Android
Appearance: Physically speaking, Rock looks like a average teenager. His build is rather slim, given he wouldn't be able to fit into his armor otherwise; and he's also kind of pale, a result of wearing full-body armor a good majority of the time. He has messy brown hair (unkempt due to years of exploration and and a general lack of interest in looking presentable), and bright green eyes (which probably reflect a good portion of his innate curiosity).
However, while extremely humanoid at first glance, Rock is very much mechanical in a very distinct way. His body has been almost completely exchanged for mechanical parts for the sake of his profession, and as such, his limbs are completely and utterly artificial. However, they are still as responsive as any human limbs, and are made of a lightweight material that makes them weigh about the same as well. (Implied to be a titanium-alloy of some sort.) Essentially, he isn't any stronger that any normal human being, but he isn't hindered by the added metal either. If anything, the only real difference is that with artificial limbs, he doesn't experience pain in his arms and legs, so he can drop down large distances without breaking a sweat and use his arms defensively without actually being in pain due to it.
His torso and crotch area are not purely mechanical though. While mechanical enhancements and implants had to have been done to those areas to accommodate for the metallic limbs, he still needs to breath and eat. (Fried chicken is a healing item in the game, and Rock needs a re-breather to explore an underwater ruin.) So he has to still have a digestive system, as well as a respiratory system, for either of those things to be plausible. From the neck up however, he hasn't received any mechanical enhancements, making his head the only purely biological part of his body. Additionally, given the fact that Rock has to wear armor to protect himself from damage, and the fact that he was electrocuted by Juno and cried out in pain when it happened, he has to still have a central nervous system that registers pain.
In addition to his mechanical enhancements though, Rock's past also complicates matters that much further. Being the product of a highly-advanced artificial planet where the last human lived out his final days, Rock is actually the pinnacle of modern science from a past civilization. He was created by a civilization that has blended robots and humans into one single race, blurring the differences between the two to such a point that they are perfect blends of organic and mechanic. (See: Mega Man ZX) And as such, Rock is the most advance bio-android that exists in the future.
However, for all intents and purposes, he still looks like a regular teenager. Mechanical limbs (Which still have a layer of fake skin on them when he's unarmored, so they still look rather normal) aside, the only thing that could actually make people think that he's not human would probably be the areas where the arms and legs are connected to the shoulders and hips. But for people to see something like that, Rock would have to not be wearing clothing.
Personality: First and foremost, Rock is an explorer by nature. Having grown up as an admitted amnesiac, Rock has spent a good majority of his life without any memories of who he was or where he came from, and as such, he wants to know more about himself. To that extent, his inherent curiosity has become a large part of his life. However, his curiosity isn't limited to just his past. As much as Rock wants to learn more about himself, he simply just wants to learn in general. He wants to know more about the world he lives in, about the people that inhabit it, about the technology that fuels it, and about the treasures that are hidden within it. And it's because of this drive that he's so perfect for his job as a Digger. He's not in it for the money, or the fame... he's in it for the excitement and adventure.
In addition to his curiosity though, Rock also has a noticeable heart of gold. Many times in the past, he's gone to multiple islands that he's never been to before, and ended up helping many of the inhabitants simply out of the kindness of his heart, despite having never met them prior. On Kattelox Island, he's ended up giving away a charitable donation to the hospital, helping them get the proper equipment to help a young handicapped girl be able to walk again. On Calbania Island, he's helped two young twins rescue their older sister from a notorious air pirate's fortress, simply because they asked. And on Nino Island, he's helped defend the city from an assault led by that same air pirate's fleet of airships if only because the pirate was attacking a currently-defenseless island. So in addition to his heart of gold, Rock also has a strong sense of justice. Enough so that it's always a pretty safe bet to assume that if someone's in trouble, Rock isn't going to think twice before helping.
Still, as much of a hero as this makes him, he doesn't see himself as such. He's humble, to a fault. Rather, he truly believes that anyone else would do the things he does if they had the power to do it. Meaning that according to him, he's not doing anything that anyone else wouldn't do if they could. This is only further enforced in his mind by the fact that his driving force aside from his curiosity is his adopted family and the friends he made throughout his journeys in the world of Terra. In short, he believes family and friends are all the reason someone needs to do the right thing. And while this is a very admirable trait, it also means that he doesn't acknowledge many of his feats as truly heroic.
He's not without his major flaws though. More often than not, he's a bit slow when it comes to picking up on things, and on some occasions, completely dense. There have been many moments where he has been outright insulted and he has done nothing more than stare blankly. Coupled with his tendency to become awkward during unusual situations, this usually makes him come off as incredibly naïve. Rock can also be quite socially inept at times, prone to stuttering and reluctanceand ellipses because he's a protag when faced with a situation he doesn't know how to react to.
However, his biggest flaw is his rashness in the face of danger. While he's not reckless to the point where he'll throw himself right into danger without a second though, he does have a tendency to take on rather dangerous tasks without giving it the proper amount of thought. And as such, this makes him a bit of a trouble magnet. When the Bonnes invaded Kattelox Island, Rock didn't necessarily stop and listen to the police officers when they told him to not get involved, but he did stop and tell Roll that she shouldn't go out to fight the pirates, given she didn't have the proper equipment to fight anyone. So, he's not completely thoughtless. But in the face of danger, Rock is very much a man of action.
Nonetheless, despite his flaws, Rock is the best example of the good that can exist within people, despite not being human himself.
Abilities: Despite being a digger who might quite possibly be the most advanced humanoid bio-android ever conceived, his physique is still that of a healthy teenager, and both his strength and agility are proportional to his size. However, his limbs (both his arms and legs) are completely mechanical, and as such are more durable than regular limbs. He can jump large distances (within reason) without hurting himself, suffer less kickback from using guns, and so on.
Additionally, Rock can also equip special weapons to his arms, capable of swapping out his forearms for whatever weapon he wants. Presumably, he can equip whatever weapon Roll has made to either one of his arms, but usually he equips the Buster Gun to his left arm, and a special weapon of choice to his right arm.
The Buster Gun itself is a blue cylindrical weapon that fires controlled plasma bursts, and it carries a seemingly endless power supply with it. However, it has no actual kinetic force behind each burst, making it rely heavily on constant pressure. [x] He can tinker with the inside of the Buster and interchange some of its component to affect its performance though, able to change its energy output, attack power, effective range and rate of fire. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough adapters to be able to max out all the stats at once. Still, Rock has had the Buster for as long as he can remember, so he's incredibly familiar with the way it works.
His special weapons though, vary from weapon to weapon. Usually it just depends on what parts Roll actually uses to build it, but they usually compliment the Buster in some way or form. He can only equip one (presumably two if he replaced the Buster) at a time though, and they can honestly be just about anything; from conventional machine guns and homing missiles, to energy shields and powerful vacuums. The general rule of thumb is that if Roll can make it, Rock can use it.
He's basically an interchangeable armory. And he's even got jet-powered skates to make sure that he can get anywhere as fast as possible.
Items: On his person, Rock will have his armor, and the modifications that Roll has integrated to it. As well as his Buster Gun, and a few of his special weapons.
- Buster Gun: Fires plasma bursts. Settings can be adjusted.
- Crusher: Throws electrified grenade. Capable of stunning.
- Drill Arm: Exactly what it sounds like. Can be used on weak walls.
- Homing Missile: Fires homing missiles. Missiles deliver splash damage.
- Shield Arm: Activates an energy shield. Can switch between hard shield and light shield.
He'll also have an orange metallic backpack attached to the back of his armor, with some of the basic equipment he keeps on his person during digs. Among these things being his class-S digger's license, a first aid kit for emergencies, an energy canteen, and a good number of zenny (currency) that he's picked up from destroyed reaverbots.
History: Rock is the adopted grandson of Professor Barrell Caskett, as well as Roll Casket's surrogate brother. He was found deep inside the Nino Island ruins by Barrell, in a section of the ruins which were supposedly forbidden. The semantics of how exactly he was found are unknown, but the only thing known for sure was the fact that he was found with a robotic monkey called Data, which only he could understand. Barrell decided to take the baby under his care, and later named him Rock Volnutt.
From that point on, Rock was raised as Barrell's grandson and Roll's brother, the three of them developing a deep family bond that cannot be broken to this day. Once he was old enough however, Rock took the same steps as Barrell had when he was younger and embarked on the life of a digger, with Roll as his designated spotter. This became their zenny (money) source, with Rock exploring ruins out in small unexplored islands, fighting reaverbots inside said ruins, and searching for refractors; all the while Roll was helping him from the outside as his Spotter, using her monitoring equipment to guide him through the ruins every step of the way.
It wasn't until Rock was fourteen that more of his mysterious past was revealed, if only a bit. Due to the fact that the power source for the Caskett's airship (The Flutter) had run out, they were forced to make a crash landing on Kattelox Island to be able to find the necessary materials to repair the airship. This was made only further complicated by the fact that the airship was also their home, so repairing it was essential.
Unfortunately, before that could be done, Kattelox Island came under siege by the Bonne family pirates, who came to the island in search of something called the Mother Lode. What started as a simple task to find the materials to repair the airship turned into a treasure hunt to open the mysterious Main Gate in the island and find the Mother Lode before the pirates did.
Once the Main Gate was opened, what waited inside was not the Mother Lode, but in fact, what appeared to be a robot of unknown design. In fact, it was somewhat similar to Rock in many aspects. The robot identified itself as Mega Man Juno, and classified itself as a third class bureaucrat unit. It also seemed to recognize Rock, identifying him as Mega Man Trigger, and referring to him as a first class purifier unit.
However, with Rock having no memories of ever meeting someone like Juno, the encounter became strained. Once it was revealed that Juno planned to control the population of Kattelox Island by purifying the island of carbons through a satellite bombing (known as the Carbon Purification Program) though, Rock set his curiosity aside to stop Juno. It was obvious that despite whatever Juno had said, the meaning behind his words were that he planned to kill everyone on the island, something Rock couldn't in all good conscience allow.
The battle between the two was close, with Juno using weapons and technology that Rock had never seen, but at the end, Juno was defeated. Unfortunately, Juno's backup data had been transferred over to the orbiting supercomputer network he identified as Eden, which meant that the Carbon Purification Program was still set to be activated, and that all the island's inhabitants would be dead if something wasn't done quick.
That was when Rock's robotic monkey Data entered the room and gave new voice commands to the system, effectively stopping the Purification and also deleting Juno's backup data from Eden.
Data then revealed to Rock that the memories of his unknown past were actually contained inside the monkey. As it turned out, Data had actually been built by Rock in the past as a means to prevent his memories from being tampered with, while still keeping them safeguarded. Despite his curiosity though, Data refused to tell Rock about his past life, and simply promised him that when the time came, he would restore Rock's memories, and that all his questions would be answered.
It wasn't until some months later that Rock's past was brought up again. With the hopes of finding the Mother Lode in Kattelox Island dashed away, Roll had fallen into a deep depression, lacking any motivation to even look for the Mother Lode anymore. However, that all changed when the luxurious Sulphur-Bottom airship, built and owned by entrepreneur Verner Von Bluecher, was attacked in the middle of a press conference. The attacker however, was a mysterious woman who warned the people on the ship to not explore Forbidden Island; the only remaining landmark that had yet to be explored, and the only place left where the Mother Lode could be hiding.
The disturbing part though, was the fact that the attacker had a striking resemblance to Roll's supposedly dead mother.
However, with the Sulphur-Bottom now having crash-landed on Forbidden Island, and their grandfather being stuck inside the airship with Von Bluecher, Rock and Roll set out in the Flutter to try and find a way past the strong winds that blocked the island. Fortunately, they actually managed to get their hands on a dropship designed and built by an amnesiac they'd met, which was capable of resisting the strong winds that blocked the island, and descend straight into it.
Having successfully landed on the island, Rock wasted no time exploring it, trying to find the Sulphur-Bottom. Instead, he found more odd technology reminiscent of the kind he saw underneath Kattelox Island, as well as a naked girl being held in the arms of a strange man. And at the same time, once the girl was found, the storms around the island stopped abruptly, and the Sulphur-Bottom was easily found. Once the ship was airborne, and all parties were inside the ship, the strange man revealed that they were in fact part of an ancient race, and only wanted to live peacefully in this time period they had awoken in. In exchange, they told Von Bluecher that the Mother Lode was genuinely real, and that to find it, four keys needed to be collected.
Rock and Roll were the first to volunteer to look for the keys.
The search took a tremendous amount of effort, but with the prospect of finally finding the Mother Lode, Rock and Roll managed to get all four keys safely to the Sulphur-Bottom. However, rather that discover where the Mother Lode was located, the entire party had been fooled, manipulated by the two ancients into gathering the four keys for them.
And then they disappeared, taking the four keys with them.
Out of necessity, the person who resembled Roll's mother returned, seeking out Rock and revealing herself to be Yuna, the Mother Unit of the planet Terra, their home. She also revealed that she currently possessed the body of Roll's mother, who she had found on Forbidden Island years ago. And afterward, she took the chance to tell Rock everything that he needed to know to confront the danger present: about the situation, about his past, and about the future.
Long ago, before Rock was discovered in the Nino Island ruins, he was known as Mega Man Trigger. Back then, he was designed to be a first class purifier unit, created on a synthetic planet known as Elysium; free of wars, disease, hunger, and death. However, Elysium also housed something known as the Master System, whose purpose was to watch over and govern both the carbons down in Terra and the units in Elysium. His job as a purifier unit was to eliminate any units that threatened the Master System, which were labeled as aberrant units. Along with that however, Trigger also served as the Master's special assistant.
In Elysium, the Master was known to be the only true human alive, having been living in Elysium for thousands of years using Elysium's life-sustaining environment.
He wasGod the creator of everything: the planet Elysium, the units inhabiting it, the ruins on Terra, the reaverbots, and the carbons. He was also apparently very close to Mega Man Trigger, and they shared a deep bond that was not common between the Master and any of his other units. Towards the end of the Master's life, he asked Trigger to take him to Terra, where Elysium's life-sustaining environment couldn't halt his aging. It was then and there that the Master asked Trigger to destroy the System, having realized that the summary execution of carbons was wrong, and that they deserved the chance to live and grow just as humans had, and not be treated like controlled experiments.
It was the Master's dying wish to Trigger, before his old age caught up to him and he died. However, he passed away with a better understanding and love for the people he had created.
And so, Trigger fought to destroy the System after that, and the entirety of the System fought back against him. However, despite the large opposition against Trigger, Yuna slowly came to realize where he was coming from. She decided to become a neutral party in the matter, instead waiting by the sidelines and observing how it all played out. However, the Mother Unit of Elysium (known as Sera) was discontent with Yuna's decision, and came to Terra personally to deal with Trigger. She was significantly weakened outside of Elysium, and the two fought each other to a stalemate, both having expended all of their energy.
And it was then that Yuna seized the opportunity and locked them both away, placing them both in stasis fields which she placed on separate islands. Trigger was forced to reset his systems, so he could heal while in his stasis field. However, this forced him to wipe his memories; but rather than lose them, he stored them into Data for safekeeping. It was thousands of years after this that Trigger was found by Barrell, and raised to what he was today.
However, it was then that Rock realized that the girl he had found on Forbidden Island was in fact Sera herself, and that the keys were not for the Mother Lode at all, but to reactivate the System Library and initialize the Carbon Reinitialization Program; a grander version of the Carbon Purification Program, which was meant to "reset" the population of the entire planet.
To set things right, Yuna helped Rock find a shuttle that would take him to the planet Elysium, where he would confront Sera and stop her from initializing the Carbon Reinitialization Program, knowing full well what would happen to the planet Terra if he failed. He had to penetrate Elysium's defenses, reach the Master System Library, and stop the activation of the Carbon Reinitialization Program by battling Sera a second time.
Unfortunately, despite being successful, he was now effectively stranded on Elysium.

However, that all changed when the luxurious Sulphur-Bottom airship, built and owned by entrepreneur Verner Von Bluecher, was attacked in the middle of a press conference. The attacker however, was a mysterious woman who warned the people on the ship to not explore Forbidden Island; the only remaining landmark that had yet to be explored, and the only place left where the Mother Lode could be hiding.
The disturbing part though, was the fact that the attacker had a striking resemblance to Roll's supposedly dead mother.
However, with the Sulphur-Bottom now having crash-landed on Forbidden Island, and their grandfather being stuck inside the airship with Von Bluecher, Rock and Roll set out in the Flutter to try and find a way past the strong winds that blocked the island. Fortunately, they actually managed to get their hands on a dropship designed and built by an amnesiac they'd met, which was capable of resisting the strong winds that blocked the island, and descend straight into it.
Having successfully landed on the island, Rock wasted no time exploring it, trying to find the Sulphur-Bottom. Instead, he found more odd technology reminiscent of the kind he saw underneath Kattelox Island, as well as a naked girl being held in the arms of a strange man. And at the same time, once the girl was found, the storms around the island stopped abruptly, and the Sulphur-Bottom was easily found. Once the ship was airborne, and all parties were inside the ship, the strange man revealed that they were in fact part of an ancient race, and only wanted to live peacefully in this time period they had awoken in. In exchange, they told Von Bluecher that the Mother Lode was genuinely real, and that to find it, four keys needed to be collected.
Rock and Roll were the first to volunteer to look for the keys.
The search took a tremendous amount of effort, but with the prospect of finally finding the Mother Lode, Rock and Roll managed to get all four keys safely to the Sulphur-Bottom. However, rather that discover where the Mother Lode was located, the entire party had been fooled, manipulated by the two ancients into gathering the four keys for them.
And then they disappeared, taking the four keys with them.
Out of necessity, the person who resembled Roll's mother returned, seeking out Rock and revealing herself to be Yuna, the Mother Unit of the planet Terra, their home. She also revealed that she currently possessed the body of Roll's mother, who she had found on Forbidden Island years ago. And afterward, she took the chance to tell Rock everything that he needed to know to confront the danger present: about the situation, about his past, and about the future.
Long ago, before Rock was discovered in the Nino Island ruins, he was known as Mega Man Trigger. Back then, he was designed to be a first class purifier unit, created on a synthetic planet known as Elysium; free of wars, disease, hunger, and death. However, Elysium also housed something known as the Master System, whose purpose was to watch over and govern both the carbons down in Terra and the units in Elysium. His job as a purifier unit was to eliminate any units that threatened the Master System, which were labeled as aberrant units. Along with that however, Trigger also served as the Master's special assistant.
In Elysium, the Master was known to be the only true human alive, having been living in Elysium for thousands of years using Elysium's life-sustaining environment.
He was
It was the Master's dying wish to Trigger, before his old age caught up to him and he died. However, he passed away with a better understanding and love for the people he had created.
And so, Trigger fought to destroy the System after that, and the entirety of the System fought back against him. However, despite the large opposition against Trigger, Yuna slowly came to realize where he was coming from. She decided to become a neutral party in the matter, instead waiting by the sidelines and observing how it all played out. However, the Mother Unit of Elysium (known as Sera) was discontent with Yuna's decision, and came to Terra personally to deal with Trigger. She was significantly weakened outside of Elysium, and the two fought each other to a stalemate, both having expended all of their energy.
And it was then that Yuna seized the opportunity and locked them both away, placing them both in stasis fields which she placed on separate islands. Trigger was forced to reset his systems, so he could heal while in his stasis field. However, this forced him to wipe his memories; but rather than lose them, he stored them into Data for safekeeping. It was thousands of years after this that Trigger was found by Barrell, and raised to what he was today.
However, it was then that Rock realized that the girl he had found on Forbidden Island was in fact Sera herself, and that the keys were not for the Mother Lode at all, but to reactivate the System Library and initialize the Carbon Reinitialization Program; a grander version of the Carbon Purification Program, which was meant to "reset" the population of the entire planet.
To set things right, Yuna helped Rock find a shuttle that would take him to the planet Elysium, where he would confront Sera and stop her from initializing the Carbon Reinitialization Program, knowing full well what would happen to the planet Terra if he failed. He had to penetrate Elysium's defenses, reach the Master System Library, and stop the activation of the Carbon Reinitialization Program by battling Sera a second time.
Unfortunately, despite being successful, he was now effectively stranded on Elysium.
