Basic Info
Name:DAN 002, "Pandora"
Bio
Character Name: DAN-002, designation "Pandora"
Series/Fandom: Rockman ZX/ZX: Advent

Age: Actual age is uncertain, but presumed to be a young adult due to her appearance
Gender: Female
Species: Limited life-span repliroid
Sexuality: Finds the concept irrelevant and thus has yet to examine it. Presumably heterosexual.

Appearance: A thin, grey-black bodysuit provides the base of Pandora's armour. Greyer plates cover the limbs and joints, both this and the bodysuit just flexible enough to allow for a decent range of motion. Overtop this are white plates around her thighs, a white cuirass, and white boots and gloves—armoured and thus with junctions at the elbows and spaces between the plates at her knees. Every white piece is topped with a blue trim. Around her ankles are gold cuffs, the toes and heels of her boots the same blue as the trim on her armour. Around her wrists are also gold cuffs, and the white of her gloves end just below the knuckle to give way to blue. In place of armour that covers her hips, she—like her brother, Prometheus—has something rather like a codpiece, in blue. Her helmet more closely resembles something like an Eastern witch's hat—oblong with tassels hanging from the edges. Primarily white, though the dividing point in the middle is blue as well as the tassels, the helmet covers most of her head and has a red crystal, the same rich, bright colour as her eyes, set in the front of it. Pale green plates that seem to represent hair peek from beneath the helm: three across her forehead and two that jut from the sides of the hat. Behind her head, under where the helmet stops, a single, wide plate rests, resembling the body of her hair.

Pandora stands roughly four inches shorter than her brother, that height made up for in the heels on her boots. Without the helmet, her hair is styled in this same fashion, those plates actually being her hair when the armour is engaged. It falls out of this state when the helmet is removed, sort of "transforming" back to the individual, hair-like synthetic "strands". On her forehead, beneath her bangs, is a red triangle, the tip pointing down to her nose while the flat rests an inch or so from her hairline, designating her as a repliroid.


Personality: Pandora is generally demure and quiet, supplying information when needed and responding when addressed. There are a few scenarios where she breaks this pattern, usually if she finds something to be of import. Though quiet and not as volatile as her brother Prometheus, she harbours a deep-seated loathing for the man responsible for her and her brother's predicament. It doesn't manifest behaviourally, but it does appear in the ferocity of her attacks despite the fact that she doesn't utilize melee combat. One might not even believe she could feel anything other than complete calm if they didn't know better. She does have a tendency towards appearing child- or doll-like in how she stands or presents herself.

Being analytical, she has a tendency to view the scientific and mathematical side of things before anything else, and she is generally immune to verbal assault due to it's foundation in illogical outbursts. There are times when she is thrown off guard, however, by such outbursts. When a situation is difficult to analyze logically, she can falter, as well. Such scenarios may include displays of kindness.

Abilities/Strengths: Pandora is possibly the better strategist of the twins and utilizes her flight and teleportation in disorienting her opponents while chasing them with long ranged lightning and ice-based attacks—electrical currents, snow-man looking ice jars that crush and freeze. Her attacks tend to immobilize her opponents. Though, she can use her staff as a weapon beyond simply using it to initialize her teleportation ability. She also carried with her knowledge of basic repliroid engineering.

Weaknesses: Pandora knows very little about sentient interaction, preferring her science to it. She's soft spoken, so she rarely voices herself unless it is pressing, so little details she might have that would alter a situation considerably could go untold. That is, unless she's with Prometheus; she's much more talkative around him. She's arrogant, much like Prometheus, her partner model, but also seems almost childlike in her behaviour patterns. Pandora is highly reliant on Prometheus for such reasons. She functions on an internal timer that, when it reaches zero, will deactivate her systems unless she returns to a specific charging dock that Dr. Albert set up for his creations.
In combat, Pandora doesn't cover herself well, resulting in openings in almost every attack. She's vulnerable the first moment after coming out of a teleport, as well.

Notable Possessions: Not being one to actively collect anything other than information, Pandora's only possession of note is her staff.

History: The Game of Destiny. Pandora's life revolved around this concept for longer than she cares to admit. She and her brother, Prometheus, were tools for this game—designed to gather together the Rockmen (those chosen by the Biometals) to line them up to be picked off, one by one, themselves included, only for their Master Albert to ascend them as a God. Obviously, this didn't entirely sit well with the siblings; to have their lives dictated by a limited cycle implanted by Albert to keep them on a short leash and not allow them a moment to be who they were?

The problems compounded only because they began when the siblings were children. Being chased and then finding themselves subject to a madman's desire for world destruction and recreation… Not that Pandora recalls any of it. Her brother was the one who had the dreams, not her. They were involved in the raid that killed Vent and Aile's mother, attacking the Guardians and letting the Irregulars storm through.

There was a reason for this.

Serpent Company (Slither Inc.) was one easily manipulated. The head, Serpent himself, had been corrupted by a fragment of Model W that he had stolen from a dig. This left him open to manipulation through Prometheus and Pandora (as per Albert's will) to begin the Game of Destiny.

Pandora gathered the passcodes from Models X and Z, which had been carried by Aile/Vent and Girouette, the last ones needed to unlock the gate to Model W. But this wasn't the end; Aile and Vent fought their way through the Pseudoroids left to derail or kill them utilizing the fused Models Z and X, Pandora and Prometheus occasionally moving to interrupt them themselves. Their plan failed, however, as both the siblings and Serpent were ultimately defeated. All, however, was according to Albert's plan.

Pandora and Prometheus slunk into obscurity for almost four years before resurfacing, intent on continuing their Game. They would, they theorized, become the winners of the game and be the ones to recreate the world—it was so fouled by humanity that it needed it. Then they would be free of Albert, as well. They used the unaware Rockman Model A for their own purposes; seeming to play the roles they were assigned. They followed their target to Albert's base where Prometheus appeared to finally take the old man out—only to find that it wasn't him, at all. Instead, the siblings found themselves victim to the power of Model W, their deep-seated hatred and the madness they were driven to being drawn out of them. The pain unbearable, Pandora collapsed, her systems powered down from the weakness and agony.

This marked seemingly the end for the twins as the base began to crumble and dilapidate around them, falling apart as Model W gathered itself together high above the depths of the ocean the base was located in.
