After he is defeated his body is shown in a kneeling position, with his face resembling insanity. This being when he reveals his plans to the Maverick Hunters and his eyes shine red (which is considered a symbol of evil or madness), his tone also changes drastically to something more wicked, followed by maniacal laughter. However, despite his "positive qualities" he has shown some traits of madness. In this sense, he also seems incredibly intelligent, as he is able to tell what the characters are thinking as well as provide a highly detailed explanation. First, Lumine can be rather calm and somewhat talkative (mainly while he's explaining something). Lumine's personality isn't explored deeply, however in his short appearances he has shown instances of multiple personalities, though it may be more accurate to say that they change drastically between each other. Lumine's overall design and abilities, along with his voice, invoke feelings of him being a transcendent or divine being, not limited to any specific form or gender.


He also gains a unique set of wings, with four large compartments, connected to him by thin appendages.

Lumine's armour changes and he gains a helmet similar to Zero's, his skin turns pale white, and his hands become claws. His final form is based on an angel in direct contrast to Sigma's demonic final appearance. Lumine also lacks a helmet with the intention of giving him a more human appearance and has a slight feminine figure. His armour is of a slim design, having a white and dark purple colour scheme with green hexagonal accents and a large blue jewel on his chest. Lumine appears as a young adolescent Reploid with pale skin and long lavender hair, most of it styled into a half-moon motif with a fringe covering one half of his face, which features gold eyes, but no eyebrows. Afterwards, Lumine's "corpse" flings out a tentacle at Axl (who approached it to investigate his remains), managing to implant itself with a pinkish object in Axl's head crystal before Zero destroyed the tentacle, and X finished it off by destroying Lumine's remains. Lumine expresses disbelief at his defeat, but then claims that it's already too late to stop what has begun, and also implies that it will take far more to stop the upcoming event than simply eliminating every single one of the New Generation Reploids before drawing his last breath. Axl, however, managed to shoot at Lumine, and declare him an enemy, although Lumine claims that time and existence has "irrevocably changed," declaring that they are no longer needed in the new world before engaging them in combat. He also promptly taunted X, asking if he could stop them, who have evolved far enough, even though he is a tool of humanity, before declaring that, as a tool of humanity and having run his course, he will have him exterminated.

He also mentioned that Axl, as a prototype, is incapable of becoming like Sigma, and Sigma did not turn insane from the virus, but rather rebelled of his free will, as has the new-generation Reploids. Upon revealing himself as the leader of the new "turn-Maverick-at-will" generation of Reploids, as well as the true mastermind behind the events of Paradise Lost, Lumine will try his hand at defeating the Hunters.Īfter being beaten the first time, Lumine will explain to X, Zero, and Axl that the copy chips included in the New Generation were composed of hundreds of old model Reploids, including Sigma. After vanquishing Sigma in Normal or Hard mode, Lumine reveals that Sigma had fulfilled his purpose (thus, Mega Man X8 is considered "the end of Sigma") and that it was in fact he who had manipulated Sigma and not the other way around.

At the end of the intro stage, Vile "kidnaps" Lumine and takes him away.
