Description
Ok so I was scrounging around the Reploid Research Lavatory after my friend and talented artist gave me a few suggestions for which character to focus on next, and I found a few interesting pics...His suggestion was Art, a little known NPC that shows up periodically in the background of MML1.
That was originally my plan, but as I sat with my sketch pad and several screenshots of Art, I couldn't figure out quite how to epitomize his character...
Again in reference to my discoveries at RRL... I discovered some concept art for several 'Megaman' units that were scrapped, among them was this little one. She's much in the same style as Juno, and in that light, I named her Cybele, after a related goddess.
With all this in mind, I pose it to you all:
Who might this unit be, and why has she been left derelict in the deeper recesses of Elysium? Did she go mad and start a rampage? Was she lost and forgotten? Is she in hibernation like her contemporary Juno? Or perhaps was she, like possibly many others, undergoing maintenance when Trigger and Sera had their fateful encounter, and never reactivated?
Was she a bureaucratic model? A purifier? Perhaps even a mechanic? Does she prepare food supplements?
Who is this mysterious Cybele?

Look up the Reploid Research Lavatory, there's a bunch of MML concept art in there, I took here from there.

Well you said it appeared periodically in the background of MML1 so I assumed it was in the game itself.

Ah, no I was talking about Art (IE: a character named), when I said that. I have made a partially finished model of him, which is also in my gallery.

Peppy guy with the contest ending soon aintcha XD
I fully intend to make Art. I just have to envision what he looks like in more than cubes... is he young like Trigger or is he slightly older, like 25ish? Is he athletic or average, etc. Those were things I was trying to decide when I found her concept art.
Didn't help that my Art concept sketches looked terrible.
Fear not, Art will be made. He fits perfectly into the plot in my head.

Haha yeah ido get hyper streaks
Gramps calls him "that man over there", so you could assume 20-25 from that, but considering he was originally supposed to be Volnutts rival, and that they frivolously use the term "man" (megaMAN -_-) I see him between 16-18.
He seems to have a slimmer build, but still some of that cartoony bulk that all the legends characters seem to have. I know it'll be tough when my bro and I start drawing up the concept art for the Art toy. His hair is the main trick to figure out.

Well I took many a screenshot of his hair for that reason.
Interesting note about the bulk of Legends characters... I think Legends is the only game I've played where there are a realistic amount of... shall we say less than physically fit people wandering around. In fact, nearly all of the women in the first one are a bit heavy.
I wonder if Art has Magic Legs... I mean, it was stated by the dev team that all diggers had some sort of implant, and Art seems totally carbon... He probably has the power to leap small buildings... Or rocket feet or something.

He's labeled as more of a researcher for the most part. Things may have been different if he were officially Volnutt's rival though. I think the idea of a completely natural carbon digger is realy fun! All he has to do is worry about health and the ammunition on his revolver!

This is really awesome, and the quality would fit right into Legends 1 or 2! She always stuck me as this little girl that lived in the ruins ruling that ruins reaverbots haha!

Wow, what a coincidence. I was just thinking last week how neat it would be if you did this character next. As usual, it looks very professional.

Well, that certainly is an interesting coincidence!
Glad not to disappoint.

Awww, she's adorable. As to who she might be, she might just be a bureaucratic model like Juno, just assigned to a different district of Terra to govern. Or she could be an operator aboard one of the EDEN sattelites.
Just my two cents on who she might be.

I appreciate your answer to my call; I'd forgotten about EDEN--(I know, how could I!?)
That actually brings to light the fact that there is still a large portion of the Legends world still completely unseen at all. (Well, they never did give us much information anyway, but still, we've only seen it from the outside, at a great distance)
Something I'll have to remember for later.
