Rob X arrived on NeS1 Page 1 during The Fight of the Century of the Week eager to take part in the battle challenges set forth by Ares, the God of War. Set in the Arena Rob X faced off against Ares himself, however he would later fall asleep in the bleachers of the Arena. Although Rob X is not one of the better known NeS Heroes, his pet Morris the Cat is an infamous Character that makes frequent appearances throughout the NeS timeline. Rob X met his end during his sleep at the hands of his friend, Gebohq Simon, who was high on seven-year-old twinkies and murdered Rob X.

Description

Appearance

Unlike his NeSi design, Rob X is described as wearing a cloak, in which he keeps his repeater[NeS1 1]. Later this cloak would be cited as a "cultist cloak", worn by all members of the Cult of X for ceremonies[NeS2 1].

Personality

Rob X is a determined person and not one to be scared away, even by the incredible power of his enemies[NeS1 2]. He understands manipulation and using psychology to his advantage when he cannot defeat an opponent physically[NeS1 3]. Rob X has a bully side to him too, deliberately tagging in people to fight in the tournament that don't want to[NeS1 4]. He dislikes corny chat up lines and being forced to say them by the Writers. He wishes for independence from them and the free-will to speak his own lines[NeS1 5]. He also thinks that lamas are cool[NeS1 6].

Rivalries

Ares

See also: Ares

Rob X has a personal rivalry with Ares, the God of War, and, despite Rob X' physical inferiority, he attempts to tackle Ares. This rivalry only escalates when Rob X uses Ares' psychological weakness against him and destroy's the god's expensive cars[NeS1 3].

Friendships

Gebohq

See also: Gebohq Simon

Gebohq and Rob were both trained at the same Æon school on Terra Flux and were partnered as students[NeSh 1]. They shared a love interest, Millicent Tarq, though Rob ultimately went with a different girl, Joleia Carta (citation needed). Though best friends in most ways, they do have a boy-hood rivalry too, especially over Millicent[NeS1 7] so he has no compunctions about killing his friend when he thinks Gebohq has slighted him[NeS1 5] - of course, fixing him again later[NeS1 8].

Powers

The Force

See also: Soul-Channelling

Rob X is capable of using "the force", otherwise known as Soul-Channelling. This means he is able to use his soul to perform real-world feats, such as telekinesis[NeS1 1].

Dark Side

Rob X, like others, has been shown to use the dark side to channel his anger into combat[NeS1 1].

Decoy

One trick that Rob X had learnt with his training as a Soul-Channeller is the ability to create a decoy of himself - a mirrored astral projection of his physical being[NeS1 1].

Possessions

Beam Sword

See also: Beam Sword

Rob X, like many Characters in early NeS, owned a light sabre. These swords can cut through most materials, but they connect like any two blades when they strike each other[NeS1 3].

Repeater

Based upon the personal repeating blaster[Ext 1] of Star Wars[Ext 2], Rob X wields a heavy gun capable of firing a hundred pulse-blasts a second. Despite its weight, he is able to carry it in his cloak.

Discs

Rob X has CD-shaped discs that he can throw. They're sharp enough to slice through the air and straight through both skin and bone[NeS1 9].

History

Pre-NeS

See also: The Source | Main articles: 108

Robert and Gebohq were trained together at Æon school on Terra Flux to hone the power of their souls. While there they met a girl named Millicent Tarq and wanted to see her, and her friends, again. They snuck out of school, skipping practice, and went to the Cantina to meet them. Once there the girls teased them and laughed at them but seemed to be enjoying their company anyway. Joleia Carta seems most interested in them and wants to know more of their Earth[NeSh 1].

The Fight of the Century of the Week

See main article: The Fight of the Century of the Week

Rob X is pulled into Ares' Colosseum by Ares himself, who accuses Rob X was damaging one of his beloved Dodge Vipers[Ext 3]. In turn Rob X accuses Ares of murdering innocent duckies. Cygnus X, Rob's friend, tries to help him by attacking Ares. Ares, however, reverses time to counter Cygnus X' attack. This, however, creates a time loop in which Cygnus X constantly attacks Ares and Ares reverses time. This continues until Zuljin breaks that time loop. Rob X, realising he cannot defeat Ares traditionally decides to head to the sports garage where Ares stores his sports cars. When Ares arrives in the garage, Rob X then, using a detonator he got from Cygnus X, blows up the entire garage. While this doesn't damage Ares physically, the god is traumatised by the loss of his fast cars[NeS1 3]. After their fight was interrupted by sentient leftovers[NeS1 10], Rob X hits Ares with what he calls a "triple-attack" - forcing the God of War to sign up to AOL[Ext 4], use a Mac[Ext 5] and use Xoom[Ext 6] for hosting his picture files online[NeS1 11]. Rob X the Writer the negates his own post, and thereby any in response to that post, and has Rob X attack Ares using the Force as an aid. He creates a decoy of himself to confuse Ares but the god catches on to the plan too quickly. Rob X is unable to take Ares down with his light sabre and so he attempt to use his repeater to fire a hundred pulse-blasts a second at Ares - but the god manages to dodge all of them. Finally Rob X resorts to using the dark side of the Force to try and overwhelm Ares[NeS1 1]. After Galvatron returns to the arena, Ares takes him down and blasts the audience members in his anger. Rob X throws his discs are Ares, slicing through the god's hands. Ares flees to heal his hands while Rob X goes to find Miss Fire[NeS1 9]. When Twin Suns joins Rob X fight against Ares, Ares bursts from a lava pit to face both of them[NeS1 12].

But then Ares decides to change the rules of the tournament to keep things fresh. He changes to Tekken Tag Tournament[Ext 7] and tags in Gebohq in his place[NeS1 13]. Gebohq fights Rob X, his old friend, and is kicked into the snake pit. He jumps out again, using his force powers to help him. But he's distracted and hit by debris and calls for him mommy[NeS1 14]. After crying for her, Geb's Mom shows up and starts chastising them both for fighting until Rob X punts her out of the arena and they keep on fighting[NeS1 15]. As per the rules of the tournament, Rob X decides to tag Enchilada Man in even if he doesn't want to fight[NeS1 4]. Enchilada Man, however, certainly doe not want to fight and he escapes, after tagging Rob X back in, aboard his spaceship the El Taco-Grande[NeS1 16]. Rob X then runs around after everyone, trying to tag them[NeS1 17]. He ends up tagging Arbiter back in and retires to the bleachers to listen to music[NeS1 18]. Rob X then tries to use corny lines to chat up Miss Fire[NeS1 19]. Rob X the Writer, however, complains about the lines and swear revenge against Gebohq though it was written by Gebohq the Writer, not the Character, mixing the two together[NeS1 20]. While Gebohq and Arbiter fight, Geb's Girlfriend shouts her support to Gebohq from the bleachers. Rob X tries to hit on her but she slaps him. Moments later Rob's Ex-girlfriend appears and chases him round the bleachers[NeS1 7].

Suddenly, however, Rob X jumps from the bleachers and cuts off Gebohq's head - blaming him for giving Rob X corny lines earlier[NeS1 5]. Ares then pops up to chastise Rob X. Since he killed Gebohq the pay-per-view ratings have crashed. He makes Rob X reattach Gebohq's head. Gebohq then explains that he isn't responsible for the writings of the writers, even Gebohq the Writer. Rob X understands and asks that Gebohq the Writer let him choose his own lines and remove his ex-girlfriend. Gebohq the Writer obliges and suggests that he start picking on Antestarr instead[NeS1 8]. Seeing Miss Fire with her hammer-space bag he asks her what's inside. When she refuses to tell him he has to squint to check the next cue-card of lines he's been asked to read. He then refuses to read yet another corny line and begins to swear when the cameras are shut off[NeS1 6]. Rob X later then goes to sleep in the bleachers[NeS1 21].
