Repliforce Roulette (Mega Man X4 AU Randomizer)

[RadiantGV]

Traditionally a story like this would take place in some far-off land, one inspired by fantastical adventures perhaps, like Runeterra or Eorzea. Traditionally, a story like this would feature a main character integral to a plotline or, failing that, a custom character also integral to the plotline. Traditionally, the main character of a story like this doesn't know what they've summoned and won't yet know for some time. Traditionally, the main character of a story like this isn't someone slated to die, nor someone who's tragedy is choosing between two sides and picking the wrong side, yet even if they picked the right side they would have died anyway to forces they could not control, and a destiny unwittingly sealed long before they were even born.

Traditionally, the main character isn't a Mega Man fortress boss like Iris.

The maiden of the Repliforce sees Zero and Colonel battling, and she knows she must do something to stop them before someone gets killed. Traditionally, Iris normally makes it in time to prevent catastrophe.

But the Randomizer does not rely on Tradition.

The Repliforce stalls Iris, and she doesn't make it. Zero, for the first time since she's known him... falls to the ground in defeat; a shocking event that, unlikely as it is, would change Iris' destiny for the rest of time.

Welcome to Repliforce Roulette! The system rules are as follows:

1. Roll 1d99, where 99 is a number of possibilities up to 99. We will start with 12 worlds, each represented by a wiki; and when the dice rolls on a number, a second dice roll will be initiated, typically 1d20; representing the potential power of a given roll. For instance, rolling a 1 could be a basic consumable or tool, while a 20 could be a magic spell best described as "apocalyptic" or a character best described as "A Potential Candidate for Demigodhood". Anything is possible. Rolls that hit an open slot (as of now, 13-98) will be rerolled.

Some Wikis have conditions for the rolls. Those will be explained in the table below.

2. Once a roll has been initiated, the result is Permanent regardless of power or effect. Some rolls may add Meta Effects, change slots on the list, or add slots on the list.

3. Characters will be subject to author discretion and will be referred to as "Units". Units who join Iris are called Party Members, and Iris may have a maximum of six at any time. Further characters will be placed in "Reserve".

4. Summons that result in imminent lethal danger for the protagonist or her allies will be disregarded and re-rolled.

5. Chapters will be broken into Missions, and each Mission has a given Boss or Objective. Only three summons per Source, per Mission are allowed. One character per Source, per Mission. No character is allowed to be exceedingly overpowered, however exceptions will be made with interpretation.

6. It may be necessary to summon ahead of time, for faster turnover. I already have trouble keeping to schedule, so this would come in handy.

7. Certain characters already know Iris or have met a Mega Man character in a canonical crossover, e.g. Project X Zone. These events are canon.

8. Real world individuals or people cannot be summoned. If selected, reroll. The exception is Segata Sanshiro.

9. The Sources, and their respective rules, are as follows:

Sega	If an entry is selected from the series "Yakuza / Like A Dragon", "Virtua Fighter", "Shinobi", "Phantasy Star" or "Sakura Wars", summon character and assume character already knows and have met Iris. If an entry is from the series "Sonic the Hedgehog", access that wiki, roll 1d20 to determine estimated power, and 1d2 to determine awareness. If an entry results in a game system or the game series "Cyber Troopers Virtual On", choose a virtualoid to summon and key it to a Party member. If an entry refers to a developer, e.g. Sonic Team, Hitmaker, Overworks, Amplitude, select from that developer's catalog. Atlus and licensed titles are excluded.

If 17-20, and assuming canon Senshi has not already been summoned to claim, assign one of the following, in order: Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Pluto, Chibi-Moon, Endymion. Treat character as if they are that Senshi. If a Senshi has already claimed the Planetary Power, skip to next one in line. When Planetary Powers are exhausted, change Source to another "Magical Girl Anime" and assume similar rules for the next Source. Otherwise, standard rules apply.
