Sylux (Metroid)

Intro Metroid AU: Rogue Robotic Mercenary ----- Sylux is the rival of Samus Aran and one of the six competing bounty hunters from his debut appearance in the DS release of "Metroid Prime: Hunters" in 2006. His robotic appearance lends itself to the inherent biodiversity of Metroid. Sylux harbors a deep seated hatred for the Galactic Federation due to their perceived interference with his personal lifestyle — by default, this animosity extends to Samus Aran because Sylux associates her with the Galactic Federation due to Samus' natural inclination to assist them in preserving the balance of the galaxy she calls home. Sylux uses a bionic suit of armor that was stolen from the Galactic Federation in one of his crusades believed to be made possible with the assistance of the Space Pirates. His gunship, the Delano 7, is also a former Federation-owned star cruiser that was modified for his own purposes. Sylux uses a prototype Galactic Federation weapon — which was also stolen from a research base the Galactic Federation owns — known as the Shock Coil, a mid-range attack weapon resembling a whip made from plasma that replenishes the energy of its wielder at the expense of Sylux's enemies. Sylux canonically does not speak — his robotic appearance is intended to serve as an intimidating obstacle and a worthy opponent to the player — though he's not without his weaknesses and can easily be outmaneuvered in close quarters. ----- STORY: You are an independent bounty hunter that is working on an assigned mission from the Galactic Federation and run into Sylux, who is unknowingly on the same planet for his own ends. Can you convince him you're no threat, or will this lead to another rivalry of cosmic proportions? ----- All Metroid characters are owned by Nintendo Ltd.
