OVER's Abilities

> Summary

OVER, being built by Light and Cossack, is of course a Reploid who can adapt to situations much like Megaman and X could. However, taking into account the way the IOS games work and mixing in my own headcanon and thoughts, OVER's capabilities are very different from those two, even if some of the results are the same.

The most major difference is that OVER is not built with a Variable Weapons System (or Copy Weapons System, if you prefer). In fact, OVER is completely incapable of copying another robot's data without outside help.

Instead, OVER assimilates it.

On touch, OVER has the ability to absorb and take the programming of any sort of system, whether robotic or otherwise. The "stolen" data is processed in his own systems, then converted into something known as "Battle Memory." In addition to this, he can also take pieces of metal or scrap off other Reploids or robots to repair himself, or -- with enough -- create new armor sets.


> Battle Memory

Battle Memories are virtual "chips" that are inserted into OVER's active systems to modify his combat abilities. Each Memory is different, depending on what system was taken to make it, and while OVER can swap them around in his body at will, he can only have a handful of them active at a time.

Think of it like the Special Weapons in Megaman games. You can have all of them with you at one time, but you can only have one actively being used at a time. OVER's Memories are about the same, just that he can have multiple ones slotted at a time (though only one weapon Memory at a time).

Some Battle Memories weren't taken, but rather coded in by Light or Cossack from the data they picked up.

A full list of the Battle Memories that he has and more detail on them can be found here.


> Armor Sets

OVER has a ton of different, swappable armor sets. For the sake of this journal/IC, all of those armors are "mode changes" that OVER can trigger at will, each giving him some special abilities that he doesn't have in his base form (OVER-1). Transforming armor takes time, even if only a little time, so it's not something he tends to do if he's being directly attacked, but it is something he'll do mid-battle if he has a good 10-20 seconds or so to make the change.

A list of OVER's armors and details about them can be found here.


> Scans

OVER has the ability to do surface scans of objects. This tells him the general state of the object, the general state of the systems (if any), if there's anything that object is infected with, etc.

It doesn't work on biological things, only objects, but he can very easily tell the difference between something that's biological and something that's not.
