Reploid
Reploids (レプリロイド) are androids from the XXII-XXIII-X??? century from the science fiction videogame saga Megaman X, Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX. Unsurprisingly deriving from the word Replica and Android.
Reploids are robots capable of rational thought, feeling emotions, learn and grow exactly like humans do. The Reploid's Artificial Intelligence and mechanics are meant to make them have a human behavior but this a really is complicated concept never elaborated on any of the sources reaching contradictory terms on Reploids unifying features as evolving parallel living entities
According to the distinct sagas (Megaman X, Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX), Reploids have the appearance of androids, either male or female wearing differently layers of armor, spandex looking body suit and randomly embedded glowing crystals according to the Reploid design; as well as wings, helmets and body incrusted weaponry among others.
As a rule, the more advanced the Reploid is the more spandex it will possess.
Reploids anthropomorphic in nature are considered Mutos Reploid (ミュートス・レプリロイド) tending to be designed for a specific task of risk and environment.
