“ I don't suppose I need to say it, but I - Alia - will also assist in navigation. Before you head into battle, be sure to choose a navigator to assist you. Of course, if you're feeling confident, you can always choose to go it solo. „
~ Alia

“ I'll try to develop a program resistant to corruption and all viruses. ... Gate and I both longed for this. „
~ Alia
“ Last week an outbreak of Maverick Reploids caused a riot at the Energy plant. Then Axl showed up to quell the unrest. The Mavericks disappeared from the scene without a trace. Then, three days ago, when Mechaniloids on the wharf went berserk, Axl destroyed the Mechaniloids that was blocking a ship's hatch, securing an escape route for the crew. This case did cause 16 casualties, however... In addition, Axl has shown up to assist in a total of 14 incidents involving Mavericks. „

Background

Alia (エイリア) is a Reploid from the Mega Man X series who serves as an Operator, Navigator, and Computer Specialist for the Maverick Hunters. First introduced in Mega Man X5, she assists X, Zero, Axl, and other Hunters by briefing them on their missions and guiding them through various areas. Alia provides updates on objectives, enemy activity, and recent developments while also managing transfer operations at Hunter Base. In Mega Man X8, she can be unlocked as a secret playable character alongside her fellow Navigators, Layer and Pallette. As a playable character, she mimics X's abilities but is unable to equip Armor Parts, which limits her capabilities. Prior to joining the Maverick Hunters, Alia worked as a Reploid Research scientist and shared a close connection with her colleague, Gate.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Alia’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Researcher days Before joining the Maverick Hunters, Alia worked as a Reploid researcher specializing in engineering advancements. During this time, she had longer hair, which she later restored in Mega Man X8. One of her colleagues was Gate, a scientist obsessed with the unanalyzable DNA of X and Zero. Gate devoted himself to creating Reploids with similar attributes, ultimately succeeding and earning widespread praise. However, his achievements caused envy and hostility among his peers. Alia reluctantly became involved in a conspiracy among the researchers to sabotage Gate's creations, leading to the destruction of Blizzard Wolfang and Gate's associate Ground Scaravich. Though forced into these actions, Alia deeply regretted her role. After Gate departed in bitterness and anger, Alia chose to start anew by joining the Maverick Hunters.

Mega Man X5 Alia debuted as X and Zero's Navigator, providing guidance and mission support. While her role focused on level navigation, she briefly appeared in the ending where Zero went Maverick and X's memories of him were erased. She expressed doubts about X's return, hinting at an unseen force behind the events.

Mega Man X6 In Mega Man X6, Alia's backstory and character were expanded. Gate, her former colleague, acquired a fragment of Zero's remains, using it to develop the Nightmare Virus and create High-Max and the Zero Nightmare. These creations were part of his plan to discredit Zero while positioning himself as a hero for Reploids. As X (and the later-recovered Zero) confronted Gate's Nightmare Investigators, Alia revealed her past involvement with Gate and the conspiracy against his creations. Feeling responsible for Gate's bitterness, she attempted to dissuade him from his destructive plans to create a nation for elite Reploids.

Despite her efforts, Gate refused to surrender and fought X and Zero, ultimately being defeated. Severely damaged by Sigma, Gate's fate remained ambiguous after X recovered his remains, leaving it unclear whether Alia repaired him or not.

Mega Man X7 In Mega Man X7, Alia resumed her role as Navigator, supporting the Hunters during the Red Alert incident. While she had no significant impact on the story, she appeared in all three endings. She contacted Zero in his ending, waking him from stasis, and discussed Axl's development in X and Axl's endings.

Mega Man X8 Alia underwent a major design update in Mega Man X8, adopting a slimmer appearance with less bulky armor and letting her hair down, reminiscent of her researcher days. She continued to provide mission support, offering stage information, boss details, and insights into Axl's transformations. Alia analyzed the Copy Chip used by New Generation Reploids, revealing its connection to Sigma's DNA, and located Sigma's base on the moon. Her final in-game appearance was an off-screen call to X and the others after Lumine's defeat.

As a hidden feature, Alia could be unlocked as a playable character after completing the game. This required using her as a Navigator more than Layer or Pallette, or entering a secret code. As a playable character, Alia mimicked X's abilities, including charging her Buster and acquiring Special Weapons from Mavericks. However, she could not use armor-based abilities or reduce damage and lacked pre-boss dialogue when selected. Like others, her stats and abilities could be upgraded using Rare Metals.

Appearance

  • Looks: Alia is a sleek and graceful female Reploid, designed with a distinctly feminine and professional appearance. Her armor is primarily red, accented by soft pink and white trim along its edges, giving her an elegant yet functional look. Green lens crystals are embedded on her chest and wrists, enhancing her refined and futuristic aesthetic. Alia's face is framed by her long, blonde hair, which falls gracefully over her shoulders. She wears a transceiver headset over both ears, emphasizing her role as a skilled operator and communicator.
  • Regular Clothes: Alia’s primary armor serves as her standard attire. Early on, her hairstyle featured a small, neatly styled bun positioned at the back of her head, adding a polished and professional air to her overall design. This hairstyle was prominently displayed during her earlier appearances. However, in more recent depictions, such as her portrayal alongside Gate in the past and her design in Mega Man X8, she is often seen with her blonde hair flowing freely down her shoulders, lending her a more relaxed and approachable look while still maintaining her technical precision.
  • Special Clothes: Though Alia does not typically change her appearance drastically, she is equipped with the ability to form a buster on her arms when needed. This arm-mounted weapon bears a design that closely resembles X's X-Buster, symbolizing her adaptability in combat situations. While her primary role is as an operator, this feature demonstrates her capability to assist in battle when necessary, blending her analytical prowess with a degree of combat readiness.

Personality

  • Duty and Emotional Resilience: Alia is a highly dutiful individual who strives to set her personal feelings aside to fulfill her responsibilities. This is especially evident during the Nightmare Incident, where she prioritized her work for the greater good despite the emotional toll it took on her. She deeply cares for her teammates, working diligently to guide them through missions and ensure their safety. However, the Nightmare Incident revealed a more vulnerable side to Alia, as she blames herself for Gate's descent into Maverick tendencies and his destructive ambitions.
  • Scientific Realism: Alia's past experiences and her scientific mindset have shaped her into a realist, rejecting the notion of "miracles" and approaching situations with logic and practicality. Her realism reflects her efforts to remain grounded, even in dire circumstances.
  • Intelligence and Technical Expertise: As a former researcher, Alia possesses exceptional intelligence and technical skills. She is proficient in advanced engineering and analytical work, capable of constructing new Armors with the data provided by Dr. Light's holograms. Additionally, she has successfully reconstructed damaged Armors, although none have been fully restored to their original specifications. Alia's expertise extends to programming, having reportedly mastered every known programming language.

Zero after gaining Optic Sunflower's weapon data can also use this attack with his Tenshouha technique. The Final Weapon was stated to be able to destroy the Earth and was going to be used by Sigma to do so. The data of things in Mega Man are portrayed as equal to their real world counterparts as shown consistently throughout the series multiple[6] times[7]. Optic Sunflower is also stated and shown to have control over data within cyberspace, being the root cause of the programs going haywire upon becoming Maverick. He also can download any data stored such as Cut Man's which was used to fight the Maverick Hunters. The Final Weapon's data should be stored as Mega Man Xtreme shows that the past data of entire stages is stored within cyberspaces. Comparable to Mega Man X who can fight and defeat emulated data[8][9] of himself and Awakened Zero fighting together at once. Comparable to Mega Man X who scales far above Mega Man and his era to the degree of Dr. Light putting a warning, him sealing X for 30 years, and him directly stating that no force on Earth would be able to stop him. Dr. Light even described the danger of X of being far beyond any of Dr. Wily's Incidents.[10] This would put him easily above Mega Man with his Double Gears and other Classic Era robots such as Duo whose fight with Evil Robot caused an explosion around Jupiter which was at this level)

Durability: Planet level (Can take hits from Optic Sunflower's Earth Crush, which uses the data of the Final Weapon from Mega Man X4, in which the Final Weapon was stated to be able to destroy the Earth and was going to be used by Sigma to do so. Survived hits from Lumine and Sigma)

Lifting Strength: At Least Class G (Should scale far above the degree of Mega Man who was able to hold up Dr. Wily’s fortress at the end of Mega Man 5)

Travel Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Scales far above Mega Man. Should be undoubtedly superior to Duo who can keep up with Duo, who can travel around the earth destroying evil energy around this timeframe)

Attack Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Scales far above Mega Man and Duo. Comparable to X and Zero)

Reaction Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Comparable to both X and Zero)

Stamina: Limitless

Range: Standard Melee to Hundreds of Meters

Intelligence: Supergenius Intelligence (Alia is the primary navigator for the Maverick Hunters. She guides X, Zero, and Axl throughout their missions and gives out various information on the locations and tips about the various Mavericks and other enemies they battle. Quickly rebuilt X's Falcon Armor, only losing the dash function in result. Discovered the origin of the Nightmare and its properties. She can also build the Falcon Armor and Gaea Armor from data given by Dr. Light. Former researcher at the Reploid Researcher Team. It's heavily implied that Alia created the Mother Elf)

    A. Well… Actually, Rockman’s body is powered by “Solar Energy.” Therefore, he doesn’t really eat, but there are some things that are okay for his consumption… Around the lab, he enjoys drinking “Energy Juice.” As responsibly as he behaves, he’s still a kid after all.
  2. ↑ Q. The shots that the Rockbuster fires from the hand, what are those exactly?
    A. The Rockbuster on the arm fires something called a “Solar Bullet”, essentially emitting a compressed form of solar energy that’s very powerful.

    A. I take it you’d like to know if Wily and Cossack’s robots possess “sentience”? Naturally, they each have a “consciousness”, although the level of every “cognitive circuit” embedded inside each one of them varies, producing as many different “personality” types as found in people… Just like you or I, they can speak, and have emotional responses like shyness, or anger, just as we do.
    Regarding their energy systems, many of them do utilize “solar energy” in some way.

  10. ↑ Mega Man X Japanese Manual - “X” presents many problems inconceivable in existing robots. There is a danger he may worry over or question even the absolute requirement for robots, “Do not harm a human.” The act of worrying in “X” marks a new epoch in robotics and is the first time this experiment has succeeded, but if it extends to matters that by their nature must not be questioned, it would be disastrous. In the worst case, if a robot were to harm humans deliberately, humankind would tremble with fear the like of which was unknown even in the days of the “Dr. Wily” incidents… I conclude that “X” is an extremely dangerous being. If I am to send “X” out into the world, he must have a verification period of 30 years at the least. However, I do not have that long to live, and regrettably there is no one who understands all my research to carry it on for me. Therefore I seal “X” here. If by some chance there is someone who discovers this capsule, as long as “X’s” thinking has not been fully analyzed, please leave him untouched. “X” is a robot laden with both unlimited possibility and unlimited danger…
