Blues

“B-but thanks to you, I can get my power core fixed, and not worry about it anymore.”

-Blues, to Bass

Blues is Dr. Light’s first creation and the older brother of Rock, Roll, and Mega Man X. He is the owner of Tango, husband of Bass, and one of the two main protagonists of Robotic Romantics and its sequel, Android Ardor.

Appearance
Blues is a young-looking robot of average height. In his armor, he wears a gray skin-tight bodysuit with red arm guards, red boots, and a red belt. His left arm can become his Proto Buster, while he uses his right hand to wield his shield, which is gray with a red rim and a small slit for seeing through. His helmet is red with white accents, white knobs, and a visor that covers his eyes,

Without his armor, he is shown to have light brown hair with a big fringe at the top, creating bangs that hang over his eyes. He sometimes wears shades over his eyes, but he started taking them off after hooking up with Bass; his eyes were once yellow, but an overcharging incident [caused by Jupiter] changed the eye color to red. While he has worn a variety of clothing, mainly T-shirts and basketball shorts, he always wears his famous yellow scarf.

Personality
Blues was formerly a lone wolf who usually did not speak unless prompted to do so, and he did not seem to show any genuine love towards his family, despite being fiercely protective of them. It is currently unknown what took place in order for him to change, though it could possibly be either adopting Tango from Rock or falling in love with Bass (though the second reason is more likely).

Ever since he changed, he has been a kind and loving member of the family, just like his father and siblings. He is benevolent and caring towards others, and is quick to become concerned when someone gets upset. At times, he can be curious or bashful, though he sometimes acts like this because he knows Bass adores that side of him. Towards Bass, he is even more sincere and generous, and even slightly sensitive. He can be flirtatious towards him as well, and likes to get cute reactions. He’s also somewhat clingy toward Bass, as he has a tendency to hug him whenever he gets stressed in any way (when Bass is present, that is).

Trivia

 * According to NoisyMartian, the real reason Blues’ eye color changed was because she saw the colored art by Hitoshi Ariga, which had one of his eyes showing, and she misunderstood and thought this meant his eye color was yellow.  A while later, she saw the Rockman X DiVE character models for him, which officially depicted him with red eyes.  Thus, she thought up a story to change his eye color.
 * Something similar happened with Tundra Man, where she always thought his eye color was purple due to reading this on the MMKB.  However, she eventually paid more attention to all the artwork of him and discovered that he, too, actually had red eyes.  However, she is not creating another eye-color changing story for him.


 * His acute hearing could technically be both a strength and weakness for him, as this makes him a light sleeper, which in turn leads to him regularly depriving himself of sleep (not because he’s trying to hurt himself).
 * It is currently unknown if he can fuse with any animal besides Tango - he has not tried to fuse with Rush, and his attempt to fuse with Treble almost got him electrocuted.
 * It isn’t known how he fell in love with Bass, though it is implied that he fell for Bass before the latter fell for him.
