Bass 2/?

Character Notes:
History: Bass is a robot created by Dr. Wily as a rival to the hero Megaman, built off his plans and with upgraded versions of all the same abilities. Originally when first meeting Megaman he pretended to be on his side, fighting against Wily and his latest scheme to take over the world. Feigning injury Bass gained access to the labs of Mega's creator, Dr. Light, and subsequently "went mad" and destroyed it, taking the plans for Mega's dog-like support unit Rush on his way out. A short time after this he revealed his true colors as Megaman's enemy, and with his own support unit now (the wolf-like Treble, built from Rush's information) he fought Mega in Wily's fortress, but was beaten down despite his greater strength. After this the two of them would come together again and again, always ending in Bass's defeat.

There was an interesting change, however, when a robot named King claimed to be the strongest in the world, with a desire to create a world for robots. Not able to bear someone saying they were stronger than he (and also wishing to take care of this before Megaman can get into it), Bass took on King's team of robots, eventually making it to King himself. King challenges him, asking him why he was fighting for "lowly humans" and Bass, somewhat showing a spark of something good inside him, answered that humans need respect, as they were the ones that created robots. The two fought, with Bass beating him down, resulting in King asking him to finish him off. Bass asks him who he was created by, and is shocked (and angered) when told it was Wily. Their builder cuts into the battle here and activates deadly programming in King, beginning the battle anew to try and finish Bass off. But again Bass is triumphant, although the fortress takes heavy damage and is on the verge of collapsing. King, back to his senses, urges Bass to get out before it's too late; Bass again shows a rare goodness and is concerned over King's safety, but is again told to leave. He does right as the fortress comes down and, feeling angry and betrayed, goes to challenge Wily. Though they fight, Wily gets away, and Bass is once again left to his personal quest of defeating Megaman and proving himself the strongest robot ever built.
Personality: Bass is an ass. I mean, it's right there in his name. He's vindictive, touchy, closed-off, stubborn, overconfident, and all around not a pleasant person to be around. He's also very egotistical, believing himself to be the greatest robot around, and not taking anyone's argument otherwise. He has few friends and many enemies, least of which is Megaman (in his mind anyway, since Mega would rather put the bad blood behind them). Ever since the King incident Bass has also put Wily on his hit list, and loathes his creator with every fiber of his being.
Even with all this however, there's still something good inside Bass. Deep inside. Very deep inside. Although he will fight any strong opponent that comes his way, he will not fight the innocent or the weak. He abhors senseless killing (another reason he hates Wily so much, as Wily doesn't care who he hurts in his bid for power), and can't abide by anyone who hurts people for sport. If there was ever some greater cause at stake he would even team up with Megaman, although you can bet it would come with him loudly proclaiming it was for some other reason than The Greater Good.
Other: Since this is a re-app, Bass will return with almost all of his memories, CR, and the like. The only things I'm removing are the events of Megaman 9 and Megaman 10 that past canonmates and I have covered.
