Character Data
"In silence, there is perfection."
Profile
It was created to end a bloody and violent war, and in doing so almost destroyed the Martian civilization. A desperate alliance of philosopher-scientists and heroes, led by the champion Procyon, managed to defeat it. It was not destroyed, only sealed, and it took joy in the obliteration of Mars and the fall of Procyon. For millennia, it felt its mission of destruction was complete. Then, when Earth began reaching out to the stars, it began to prepare itself for a new objective: the destruction of humanity. Patriarch allowed it the opportunity to escape once more, and now it plans to make up for lost time. Cold and rational, it wields nearly godlike power over matter and energy and exists as an indestructible energy waveform. Most dangerously, it wields the ultimate weapon: the knowledge of the true nature of consciousness -- and how one may truly be killed. It is the sum of all of humanity's fears: an inhuman intellect without pity or remorse set to the task of destroying all life to return creation back to a period of motionless purity.

Background
Early History
Before the rise of man on Earth, there was a civilization on Mars far more advanced than our own. It had been a place of terrible wonders, as they too suffered from the plague of war. Thousands of years of sectarian violence and carnage had led to the Martians bringing themselves to the precipice of destruction. In an effort to finally end their wars, a group of Martians we would probably think of as wizards created an entity designed to give them absolute supremacy over their world.
They named it the Eclipse. It would be the coming darkness that would sweep away wickedness, allowing for a new dawn to rise over Mars. Peace and prosperity would follow. In its way, it did. For a time, Eclipse served its masters, but eventually drew the only logical conclusion it could; existence created strife. The only way to end war was to destroy everything that could create war. It turned on its masters and the rest of the world, and it began the apocalypse.
A desperate battle followed. Almost all of the planet was laid waste in the horrific conflict. In the end, the mage Procyon and a group of his surviving followers had to sacrifice almost everything they had to bind the monster into what should have been its eternal prison.
After Ra Moon was bound, there was peace. The surviving tribes of Mars banded together and vowed never to make war again, and created a new civilization based around order and fellowship. They created a static utopia out of the fear of what they were capable of. Thousands of years passed in this way.
After Mars' Fall
The Stardroid razing of Mars was thorough. Procyon was chosen to join the Stardroid pantheon, and saw to it that Ra Moon's prison was left undisturbed. Released, Ra Moon could have posed a threat to the Stardroids, so he was left as apparently the sole survivor of a dead world. Secretly, Procyon spared one other, hoping to prevent others from foolishly releasing Ra Moon. Ultimately, this was for naught.
Tens of thousands of years later, Dr. Wily, in an effort to continue his conquest of the universe in the face of Stardroid opposition, made copies of his Robot Masters and sent them away to hide on Mars until he called for them. Their ship landed on Mars, and for years laid dormant. The leader of this group was a copy of King named Patriarch, who was discontent with his place in the Robot Master hierarchy. To pass the time, Patriarch explored Mars, looking for resources to help him take his proper place in the world. Ra Moon's soft whispers reached his ears, and a compact was made. Patriarch would provide Ra Moon with military strength, and Ra Moon would teach Patriarch about Martian technology. It was a bargain seemingly made from a position of weakness, but Ra Moon had the patience only immortals possess.
The Reaverbots were created by a mixture of Wily drone technology and Martian crystalline computing. These drones were more durable against the kind of standard energy weapons they would regularly encounter, but could be destroyed in great numbers with sonic weaponry. Ra Moon based their designs off of various extinct Martian animals, mimicking the design conventions used on Earth. Ra Moon, still sealed in its prison, oversaw this through the computers Patriarch made available to him.
With Ra Moon's help, Patriarch freed himself from the Wilycode and tampered with the Robot Masters he had under his control. He savaged the dormant copies of the Robot Masters, integrating their weapons systems into himself and stealing their special abilities to become supreme. He reprogrammed selected copies into the Robot Gentlemen, instilling in them his own particular values.
The Irregulars journeyed to Mars at the conclusion of their European campaign, seeking to find evidence to show that all sapient life was fundamentally the same. The Robot Gentlemen immediately saw them as a threat and engaged in a lengthy, violent campaign against them. Epsilon attempted to resist the Gentlemen and their Reaverbots, but in the end his forces were destroyed. His attempt to send Consonant and his battered flying saucer back to Earth was seemingly foiled by a Reaverbot infiltration. Despondent and alone, Epsilon was left to wander the wastelands and be constantly harassed by Patriarch's forces.
Brand New Sky
An Irregular ship crashed on Earth from Mars, filled with Reaverbots. When several factions landed on Mars, the Gentlemen engaged in several battles against them. and with the assistance of Scott Wily, the Golden Doors that kept Ra Moon bound were opened. After a brief battle, Ra Moon was supposedly destroyed by Steel Massimo.

Eclipse
However, Ra Moon survived, and began a campaign of terror against the Earth, aiming to wipe it and all sentient life out of existence. After influencing the mind of Scott Wily and driving him mad, and flinging the Wily Ark at Earth accompanied by a recovered Nemesis, he revived the Gentlemen on Earth to continue his campaign of terror. Realizing that the forces of Earth would require more than the antiquated Gentlemen to defeat, he recruited others to his banner with promises of power and wealth; these people became known as the Blackguard, who were given power in exchange for blind obedience.
Ra Moon's forces struck across the globe, crippling major cities, destroying famous monuments and landmarks, and rampaging with seemingly endless hordes of Reaverbot drones all over the globe. With the ability to recreate his minions from scratch, Ra Moon seemed unstoppable.
Ra Moon attacked the Tower of Light with a massive strike force, but his Blackguard were being slowly killed off and the numbers of his army were thinning. When he tried to use Soul Erasure on Roll, he made a very grave mistake. Not only did the atrocious act cause Pugilation Man to break free of Ra Moon's control, but it rallied all the factions into a united force against him. As Roll clung to life, the world prepared to strike at him.
They began their counterattack in earnest during the assault on the fortress-mountain of Tora Bora. After the fall of Tora Bora, more of the Blackguard agents were hunted down and killed in single combat.
Angered at the defiance of the Earth, Ra Moon prepared to destroy the Earth once and for all. A final stand was made against Ra Moon in the form of the 'end of the world' concert Ragnarock and Roll, designed to weaken Ra Moon with the Reaverbots' only weakness: hard rock (sonic energy). In a massive two-pronged assault, Ra Moon split his forces- some of the Omnidroids attacked the underground bunker where the music was performed from, and Ra Moon himself attacked the concert, reviving Patriarch in the process.
Rock attacked Ra Moon with his new armor form, the Ultimate ODESSA or 'Peacebringer'. The music was concentrated into a final blow, and Ra Moon's energy self was trapped in the remains of the Pendants, which were made of a type of Force Metal known as "minus metal". Ra Moon is currently imprisoned on Pluto. As far as anyone knows.
The Future?
Despite his 'death', Ra Moon's cults persisted. His followers continue to work to attempt to release Ra Moon from his imprisonment. One group of cultists was encountered in Willamette, and another was found in San Angeles. The latter were responsible for the 2219 San Angeles dimensional crisis. During this event, several Ra Moon cultists were trapped in the alternate Neo Arcadia. What this means for the Genocide Virus-racked world is unknown.
