The Mega Man X series has gave us several notable reploids, cyborgs that have human like feelings such as emotion, ability to make decisions for themselves, and to think logically, over the years. Most of these reploids have turned maverick, reploids that pose a danger to the world, but some of them have not. Alia was a character introduced in the second half of the series run. She works for the Maverick Hunters, but there is a lot more to her story.


Before joining the Maverick Hunters and before the events of Mega Man X5 Alia was a researcher under her teacher Gate. She was so skilled that Gate made her his colleague. Together they wanted to create reploids that could help the world and they wanted to research ways to stop the maverick wars. However, Gate would bend the rules a bit. In fact, Gate would make very powerful reploids. The world organizations and agents told Gate to weaken his Reploids. The Organizations and Agents where afraid what would happen if Gate's creations turned maverick. Gate refused and so they conspired to take out some of Gate's creations.

In one incident Alia was forced to go along with the conspiracy. The agents told Alia to go along with them killing Blizzard Wolffang or she would be killed herself. Gate was outraged at the agents. However, he did not blame Alia for it because he knew she was forced to. Despite Gate telling Alia she was not at fault, he was not mad at her, and for her to continue. Alia had a hard time forgetting about the incident. After this Alia had a buster gun built into her most likely by Gate.

Alia decided to go work for the Maverick Hunters with Gate supporting her choice. After going to work for the Maverick Hunters the Earth was in a crisis. Sigma had set space colony to crash into the Earth. He had also scattered his Sigma Virus. Alia proved to be a skillful researcher, supporter, and analytical person to X and Zero. She gave them info on the Maverick Outbreaks. X and Zero stopped Sigma and although the earth was saved, it was damaged.

During the events of Mega Man X6 Alia was in a very tough spot. Gate her former friend and colleague had become a maverick after getting infected by the Sigma Virus. Gate created the nightmare which was a death trap. Alia was in turmoil to see her friend, mentor and colleague turn into a maverick. She gave the hunters the backstory. Alia put her past behind her to stop her former colleague's evil rampage.

During future events she continued to work for the hunters, transferring X, Zero, and later Axle to target areas. She continued to offer support, information, analysis, and research on mavericks. In Mega Man X8 she is an unlockable character and can go on Maverick Missions. Her Buster shoots plasma shots. She proves she can also be a hunter, although she cannot use armor like X, Zero, and Axle can.

Appearance- Alia is a female reploid with coral like armor. She wears her hair in a ponytail most of the time. In some games she lets it hang down. She is about the same height as X. She has white feet and hands. Moreover, she also has a buster. In addition, she appears to have green gems on her.

Personality- Alia is a highly intelligent reploid able to offer analysis, info and research on mavericks. She is optimistic for the maverick wars to come to an end. She takes her job seriously and cares for her friends and the Maverick Hunters. On the other hand, despite being optimistic due to her being a scientists and past trauma she is a realist. At one time she said she did not believe in miracles that everything has logic.

However, Alia does have past trauma and is in torment sometimes. She has trauma from being forced to dispose of Wolfang. She is in torment during the events of Mega Man X6 when her friend Gate becomes a maverick. In one scene she blames herself for Gate going bad and wondered if she had anything to do with it.

On the other hand, she can put her trauma and turmoil aside when it really counts. She does this in Mega Man X6 when after Gate refused her offer to stop the nightmare. She says we will stop you. She helps X and Zero put a stop to Gate. She is also not afraid to get on the action as she proves to be a competent hunter, and she knows her limits. Given how she guides the hunters on missions, she also had leadership abilities.

Abilities- Alia has mastered every programming language. This allows her to also hack to gain information. As Noted she is a skilled researcher and scientists. She has an analytical mind that she uses to share information with the hunters. She proves to be very skilled at providing information on targets. If needed she can also be a maverick hunter. She uses her buster gun that can shot plasma shots. It is similar to Bass's from the classic Mega Man series.

Attacks- Alia can use her buster for defense and to provide backup on hunter missions. Her buster shoots small plasma shots. She can move like X can, but her buster is a lot like Bass's from the classic series. She can also move at a decent clip.

Weaknesses- Sometimes her past trauma creeps up on her especially during the events of Mega Man X6, but she is able to put these aside. Her main weakness when she provides backup on hunting missions is she cannot use programming armor like Zero, X, and later Axle can. This may be why she hunts only in a backup situation.

Relationships

Allies

X- She really cares for X and tries to be optimistic like he is. She wants his version of peace to become a reality. However, it is hinted she may have feelings for X. She always asks if X is okay after missions. She does not do this for Zero and Axle.

Zero- She can relate to Zero because like her Zero is in turmoil. In Zero's case it was because he was the original carrier of the Sigma Virus. The virus left Zero and merged with Sigma creating the Sigma Virus. Zero does not show it but he blames himself for the maverick wars. She gets that because of her trauma she blames herself for the events of X6. She is always eager to help Zero complete his missions.

Axle- Axle can sometimes get on her nerves but she knows this is due to Axle being young. Still, she considers him a good friend and is always able to help him on his missions.

Signas- She looks up to the General and gives input on what she has found out to him.

Douglass- She respects Douglass for his mechanical and engineering skills.

Layer and Paulette- These two appeared in X8. The three of them are good friends and work well together on providing information.

Gate (formerly) Her and Gate where one time colleagues. Gate took Alia under his wing and she became his scientific partner. Alia looked up to Gate as he saw her potential. Even after the Wolfang incident Gate did not blame her for it as he knew she was forced to do it against her will.

Enemies

Sigma- Alia hates Sigma for his evil and due to his ability to infect other reploids. Sigma has turned jolly and normal reploids into raging mavericks. She also hates Sigma because as long as he is around the maverick wars will continue.

Gate- Alia and Gate became enemies in Mega Man X6. Alia even rebuked Gate and due to her being friends tried to talk sense into him. When Gate refused she said we will stop you. She tells the hunters information on his secret lab and guides the hunters into defeating him. After Gate is defeated and killed she said that is over. But due to her being friends with him its hinted she gave him a proper burial.

Dynamo- She does not like Dynamo. This is because he interfered several times in the events of Mega Man X5 to delay the hunters in destroying the space colony. In X6 he once again interferes during the nightmare missions.

Alia is a proven character in the Mega Man X series. Starting with her firs appearance X5 and onward. She is very skilled at what she does. She also has a brilliant mind.

However, as stated she has a traumatic past and this is how she can relate to Zero. Her past comes up sometimes as she has not been able to forget the incident. The Wolffang incident has scarred her emotionally. On the other hand, when it really counts she is able to put it behind her. Thus, in a way she is able to overcome her past trauma just like Zero is able too.

She shows she has good leadership ability as she proves key information in missions. She also tells the Hunters the best route and enemy weaknesses. Basically, she guides the hunters. In the events of X6 she tells the team lets stop Gate and his evil nightmare he must be stopped.

In conclusion, Alia is a highly intelligent reploid. She can do a lot of different things. She can even provide backup on missions with her plasma like buster. While she knows her strengths she is humble about them. Furthermore, she also knows her limits. For example when providing backup in hunting missions she knows she cannot use armor. This concludes her biography.
