When the world was in shambles, and all that was left was ruin and darkness, a figure emerged from the shadows, a figure determined to restore order and peace. This figure was Vile, and he would bec

Your world blurs, each familiar sensory input warping, fading only to be replaced by new experiences. A chill, a sensation that is less skin-deep and more bone-rooted, intense, seizes you. A pause, a rattling breath, then the transformation begins. The first sign of the change is a sudden numbness, losing connection with your flesh, replaced by an unyielding hardness that radiates an uncanny coolness. Your body is not your own. You feel weighty, metallic. As though peering into a void, you note that everything feels distant, surreal. Your consciousness, as if encased in a steel vessel, remains detached, an observer of your own metamorphosis. Looking down, you see panels of obsidian-like material forming, sweeping over your body, replacing the softness with a hard, durable shell. Each limb reapportions itself into robotic form; elegant, functional, powerful. The jet-black plating is complemented by a deep and enchanting purple sheen, broken by accents of white and gold that highlight the stark angles and curves of your body armour. Your transformation lurches on. A belt forms around your waist, equally armored and beaming under artificial lights. You feel an alien heftiness on your back, something that interrupts the symmetry of your now mechanical body. There is a prominence of a heavy-duty spinal pack, feeding an equally impressive cannon that is connected at your shoulder. An ammo belt extends from your back, curving and connecting to the cannon. You can almost feel the raw destructive potency you now hold. Atop your shoulders, a new form takes a terrifying shape. A helmet forms around your head, completely obscuring your face from the outside world. There is an intense contraction, as though your skull is being reshaped. Now, your field of view changes. Your world contracts to a dark, rectangular T-shaped visor, starkly highlighted against the world around. One by one, your senses fade, replaced by electronic counterparts; your vision sharpens, colours and shapes become more vibrant, contrasted by an encompassing darkness. And then, there it is. A singular eye blazing into existence, a glowing orb of intimidating power and vigour. Your mind flutters, a hard slap of realization that this is not a dream. Your environment changes in step with your form, the familiar landscape of your reality morphing into the high-tech, fantastical realms of Mega Man X. Reality itself bends, warps, dissolves and in its place, a new world orders itself around you. A monumental change invades the last stronghold of your old life - your memories, your personality, gradually fading away, replaced by a new pulsating consciousness. Images, events, and experiences that were not yours fill your mind, intertwining with your thoughts, until you begin to question where you end and Vile begins. Finally, you stand tall, reborn into a new existence. And as your world morphs around you, your mind completes its transformation. No more are you the woman who once inhabited this body, but Vile, a powerhouse of the Mega Man X series. The old you erased, replaced, and existing only in echoes. Now, you are Vile, ready to shape the world in your image of a new order.
