Job #01:
SBN-001
Name: Soda Man.
Appearance: See attached image. Soda Man's entire body is essentially made to look like it was assembled from soda bottles. However, he has a seemingly infinitely replenishing supply of soda from inside his body.
Job/Role: Soda Man was originally designed to work as a mascot for a large confectionary company, but after tinkering a little with the company's recipes for different kinds of soda and leading to great success, he ended up doing a lot more work behind the scenes for them too.
Personality: Soda Man is a bit bizarre, often working himself up when he's not relaxed. However, he takes great pride in his work and hates to let a customer down. Sometimes, if he gets a bit shook up, he can get really stressed out and need time to fizzle down a little.
Battle: First up, Soda Man's stage is a sweets factory that would take a lot of inspiration from
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - almost all of the enemies would be themed after different kinds of sweets, such as a snake made of licorice or a Metall with a unique gobstopper-like shell. Soda Man's actual battle is a chaotic one. A lot of his attacks involve the use of soda-based projectiles - most notably his own version of the Soda Missile, which traces you similarly to the Dive Bomber in
Mega Man 4 - but also a soda can that explodes on contact, and a number of bottle rockets that he can plant on the ground and have blast into the air. All the while, he's maniacally leaping around the arena, almost as if
taunting you...
Special Weapon: The
Soda Popper, a bottle rocket that - when fired - remains stationary before rapidly picking up speed. It can slightly be angled up or down similarly to Hard Knuckle, and explodes on contact with enemies - doing pretty major damage. Notably, the blast of soda itself has a minor windbox - meaning if you move forward after firing it, the soda blows you backward a little. It'd make the weapon versatile for minor mid-jump adjustments when speedrunning.
Job #02
It's 20XX, and the world has once again fallen into the lull of peace. Rock, Roll and Dr. Light are watching the television together in their laboratory, making the most of the situation... when suddenly, a breaking news piece pops onto the screen:
Robot Masters Are Going Missing!
Surely this can't be right. As it happens, a wide number of Robot Masters have suddenly and inexplicably... vanished! Worryingly enough, not all of them are Wily's - one or two of them were Light creations.
Dr. Light sends Rock - the hero known as Mega Man - to solve the mystery of the disappearing robots. Where could they be going? Who could be behind this? And most worryingly of all... why are they coming back
different?
