What it Truly is to be a Maverick.

[Rama Olendris]

I'm feeling a little lost lately, and this is odd because I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable when it comes to the Megaman games however now I'm not so sure.

I've played about half of the X games in English and the other half in Japanese and the way how both of sides define Maverick is a little bit different but very close... And then (yes shoot me for referencing the Zero series) the definition changes again... What I want to know is what is truly is to be a 'maverick'/irregular.  Is there a set definition?

[Slugkid]

As far as I know Maverick=Reploid who breaks the first rule of robotics (Don't hurt humans)
Then again, I've never played any Megaman game on japanese, so I don't know this different definition...

I thought it was primarily that, but then I read somewhere (forgot which game) that a Maverick was a reploid that went against its original programming- in other words if the reploid refused to do something it was programmed to do, it was maverick. At least that's what the whole statement inferred.

[Fatso]

in other words if the reploid refused to do something it was programmed to do, it was maverick. At least that's what the whole statement inferred.

That makes no sense, as the entire idea behind Reploids is that they possess free will and self-awareness, and thus would not be 'programmed' to do anything.

[Xero]

A maverick technically is someone who goes against a group of sorts.

I feel the term "Maverick"  in the MMX world needs to be redefined.

Since there are "mavericks" such as Repliforce and the Rebellion Army who have no intention to cause harm to humans and only which to seek independence.  See the thing is that they aren't really mavericks.  They are just reploids who felt oppressed and decided to declare independence.  But they were hunted and terminated for their ideals which I felt was over doing it.

[Abominator]

Yeah, I think it's to do with taking their free will too far.

Xello beat me to the X4 rebellion bit.

[Xero]

Plus those assholes killed off the best character.  EVAR.

*Weeps for Iris*

[Abominator]

WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DOUBLE!

[Rama Olendris]

I was thinking that it was Reploids taking their free will 'too far' according to humanity until the X4 stuff and the things in the Zero series. It just baffles me... I suppose the term 'maverick' is flung to try and control reploids?

[Xero]

If reploids have free will then no one should be trying to control them period.

Reploids like humans have the right to choose their own destiny and make their own path in life. 

[Rama Olendris]

I agree that they should have that right... However examine Human history and you'll see that we've only just barely been able to address total 'freedom' recently... and even now it's not totally perfected.

[Xero]

What I'm saying is that reploids should be subjected to the same abilities as humans. 

[Rama Olendris]

They should... But I think the series infers that they don't... Ugh! See! I'm confused! >.<!!!

[Xero]

It's like this.

Dr.Cain:  Oh cool!  Let's create reploids with the ability to think and make their own decisions and force them to do labor!  It's genious!

Yeah...exactly like that.

[Lunchebox]

And then Sigma dropped a nuke on him.

I got that down, Reploids created for the purpose to aid humans... Because I highly doubt humans are -that- charitable and decided to capriciously create a new race and not have them have any use. So Reploids were 'copied' off of X for their abilities.

Now with their abilities most obviously helped humans in... whatever they needed help in, then some went Maverick (by hurting humans, rebelling against 'you must do this' or contracting the Maverick virus) then the Maverick Hunters were created blah blah blah....

...

Then Lumine said 'blah blah we have the power to go Maverick at will.' in X8 which sounds like all the instances where reploids were Maverick they were infected with the Maverick Virus.

I'm sorry for rambling.... I'm just trying to figure this out.

[ChaosVortex]

Lumine lived under a rock. Ignore him.

[Rama Olendris]

Kinda hard to ignore someone with no eyebrows man...

[Lunchebox]

God damn it, the only good thing to come out of X8 was Flaming Cock.

[Rama Olendris]

I didn't think it was -that- bad.... I hated the navigators, but that's about it. Lumine just freaked me out.

[Lunchebox]

I hated Lumine. And DNA reploids.

Android DNA is dumb.

[Rama Olendris]

I hated Lumine. And DNA reploids.

Android DNA is dumb.

But not quite inaccurate, actually. And we're getting off topic. 

[preventerWIND]

Nah, I'd say we're right on track.

[Rama Olendris]

You're a Maverick, WIND.

[preventerWIND]

...

BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!

[Rama Olendris]

  I need a license to do that here in America... sorry.

[Abominator]

YouTube really has made people very confused about what's funny.

[ChaosVortex]

Ew.

[Mikero]

What a waste of time.

YouTube really has made people very confused about what's funny.

It is offensive to comedy, really.

[ASR]

YouTube really has made people very confused about what's funny.

One of my favorite casual statements ever. Good man.

... The hell? 

[Mikero]

Don't question why someone would make that, it could lead to your death by stroke.

[Rama Olendris]

Too late, I've already spent more than 10 hours looking up stuff on ytmnd.com.

[Mikero]

It's amazing you have turned yet.

[TheRedPriest]

And then Sigma dropped a nuke on him.

Oh yes, the "new" canon.  BOY THAT SURE IS SOME GOOD STUFF GEEHOWDY NOW I'M GOING TO GO PLAY SOME MMZ AND ZX TO FULLY ENJOY THE FINELY CRAFTED AND INTRICATE LITERARY SECOND COMMING OF INTI'S SERIES SPANNING MEGAMAN TALE OF PURE AWESOME!

[Xero]

[TheRedPriest]

[Chron]

Yeah, my allowance.

Mavericks are reploids who like to play cards.

[NovaMan XP]

[Edgecrusher]

Am I the only one who thought that lamp was a bong at first glance?

[Rama Olendris]

Now we know what's on your mind. >.> I think you may have been the first one to think that...

[Edgecrusher]

I'm sure I wasn't the first.

And yes, that is on my mind. Spring break is closing in, and I could use a vacation.

[Rama Olendris]

Indeed.

[Mikero]

I thought it was too, and that's not even my sort of deal.
