==== Ares ====
Rob X is pulled into [[Ares' Colosseum]] by [[Ares]] himself, who accuses Rob X was damaging one of his beloved [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Viper Dodge Vipers]<sub><ref group="Ext">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Viper Dodge Viper] article, [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia].</ref></sub>. 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 [[Ares' Colosseum#Sports Garage|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 [[Gods|god]] is traumatised by the loss of his fast cars<sub><ref name=":0" group="NeS1" /></sub>. After their fight was interrupted by sentient [[leftovers]]<sub><ref group="NeS1">[[NeS1 Post 4]], [[NeS1 Page 1]], [[The Fight of the Century of the Week]], [[Never-ending Story1]] written by [[Miss_Fire the Writer]].</ref></sub>, Rob X hits Ares with what he calls a "triple-attack" - forcing the God of War to sign up to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL AOL]<sub><ref group="Ext">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL AOL] article, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia].</ref></sub>, use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh Mac]<sub><ref group="Ext">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh Macintosh] article, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia].</ref></sub> and use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoom_(web_hosting) Xoom]<sub><ref group="Ext">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoom_(web_hosting) Xoom (web hosting)] article, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia].</ref></sub> for hosting his picture files online<sub><ref group="NeS1">[[NeS1 Post 6]], [[NeS1 Page 1]], [[The Fight of the Century of the Week]], [[Never-ending Story1]] written by [[Rob X the Writer]].</ref></sub>. [[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<sub><ref name=":1" group="NeS1" /></sub>.

NeS1NeS2

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] and even considers most fighters unworthy of his time[NeS1 3]. He understands manipulation and using psychology to his advantage when he cannot defeat an opponent physically[NeS1 4]. Rob X has a bully side to him too, deliberately tagging in people to fight in the tournament that don't want to[NeS1 5]. 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 6]. He also thinks that lamas are cool[NeS1 7].

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 4].

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 8].

Relationships

Rivalries

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 4].

Friendships

Gebohq

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 9] so he has no compunctions about killing his friend when he thinks Gebohq has slighted him[NeS1 6] - of course, fixing him again later[NeS1 10].

Morris the Cat

Rob X is considered to be the owner of Morris the Cat, caring for him and feeding him before Morris came to Ares' Colosseum[NeS1 11]. Morris must make requests for permission from Rob X[NeS1 3].

Lovers

Joleia Carta

Rob X dated Joleia Carta when on TBA (citation). However after they broke up Joleia was unable to accept their split and chased him down all the way to Earth and Ares' Colosseum where she chased him through the arena[NeS1 9] until she was eventually removed by Gebohq the Writer[NeS1 10].

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].
