Rock Light (Mega Man)

Mega Man, real name Rock Light, is the main titular protagonist of the animated Mega Man Movie. He is the son of Dr. Light, who was originally a human, but was killed in an accident in his lab, and was brought back as a super fighting robot afterwards, taking the name Mega Man.

Appearance
Outside of his armor, Rock appears as a ten-year-old boy with spiky black hair. His main attire is a blue and white shirt with the number 23 on it, and yellow stripes on one sleeve, light brown shorts, and orange sneakers. His armor, however, resembles that of most other Robot Masters in that it's a skintight bodysuit with large rounded coverings on the lower arms and legs, and typical 'superhero briefs'. Mega Man's primary color is light blue with a dark blue 'trim' (his arms, legs, helmet and 'briefs'). His helmet has a raised light blue square in the forehead and a light blue ridge running straight back from the square, resembling an exclamation mark. His helmet also features round light blue sections with red circles in the center over his ears. He also has red circles in his Mega Buster and below his feet.

Personality
Before his death, Rock was a very cheerful and playful young boy, who always worked hard to make everybody happy, including himself. He mostly spent time with his father and sister, whether it be to check out his father's inventions, or play with his sister. He also does everything he can to avoid getting into trouble, but only if he is aware of the trouble he may put himself in. However, if his father is ok with him preforming dangerous tasks, such as fighting off Dr. Wily's robots, he goes for it.

He is also slightly naive, and occasionally clumsy. One instance of his clumsiness cost him his human life as he causes one of his father's machines to electrocute him to death by complete accident. After he is brought back as a robot, his naivety is used by his family to keep his robot form a secret, as they fear he would panic after discovering it. He is also naive to how his robot powers function at first, as his performance in school is pinned on him "working as hard as he can to be the best".

Rock hates it whenever he is lied to, whether it be over something irrelevant, or important. Once he finds out the truth that he's been lied to about, he gets angry at the person, or people, who lied, such as when he finds out his family has been lying to him about his robot form. However, he is able to understand why he is being lied to in certain cases, and is willing to forgive the person easily.

As Mega Man, he starts off as excitable and energetic, as he is given access to powers he can uses to stop bad guys. After various fights against Wily's robots, he grows more and more courageous and just, and no longer gets excitement or pride from getting the chance to fight others, but rather from doing the right thing and being accepted as a hero.

After his discovery of being a robot duplicate of himself, he begins to doubt himself, wondering if it was ever really him that people respect as a hero, or if it's just a robot. His family and the people of Mega City eventually manage to convince him that they respect him for who he is, robot or otherwise, and he accepts himself once more, becoming fully heroic and brave. He also gives himself the philosophy of "I am more than just a robot".

Rock does not hesitate with violence, but avoids it with those who are not robots, such as simple robbers, or Dr. Wily. Instead, he will take them into the proper authorities, and let them take it from there. He has less restraint with robotic enemies, however, as he does not view them the same way others view him.

Rock, along with his sister, loves rock and roll. He often plays with her by being in a band they star in, fittingly called "Rock and Roll". Rock plays guitar while Roll plays drums.

Abilities
As a robot, Rock naturally possesses greater physical abilities than humans. Even before he was given his Mega Man power suit, his abilities were enhanced, possessing superhuman strength, stamina, reflexes, intelligence, and durability.
 * Mega Buster - Mega Man's main weapon, a potent, ambidextrous arm cannon that fires solar energy bullets. He can also charge it to fire a powerful beam attack.
 * Superhuman strength - Despite usually boasting firepower via his Mega Buster and Special Weapons, Mega Man himself is physically powerful as well. He can lift up things others would struggle with, such as large desks or boulders.
 * Superhuman speed and reflexes - As Mega Man or otherwise, Rock is surprisingly agile and has amazing reflexes. He is able to dodge things that would normally be a challenge for others, such as dodgeballs or incoming projectiles. He is also able to move at a very fast pace, mostly by running.
 * Intelligence - Mega Man is equipped with a massive amount of knowledge, allowing him to solve a wide arrange of problems, both in the form of schoolwork, or with taking down one of Dr. Wily's creations by exploiting their weaknesses.
 * Weapon Copy System - Mega Man is able to steal the Special Weapons of Robot Masters and use them for himself. He does this by stealing a computer chip within the Robot Master after it's defeated, and implanting it into his power suit. This also causes the suit to change color when using a certain Special Weapon.
