Story
Set in Hyuga High School's figure club, the core of this game is the drama of various characters. Set in a miniature garden diorama with chessboards, schools, war-destroyed towns, gardens, ships, toy boxes, and more, players operate electric figurines modeled after the members of the figure club and wield various weapons. Naomi, Pandora, Kai and C.H.I.P were the names of the original prototypes, but they were soon joined by other modified versions (Knox, Simon, Amelia, Sophitia, and $harkill Khan). The toys battle it out for valuable battery resources and ultimate supremacy of the Micro World.
Characters
Naomi
Naomi was the first female doll introduced to the MicroWorld. She is the most played female character, followed by Pandora. Her innocent, anime school girl appearance often misleads her enemies into thinking she is of little threat.
Naomi had base Run Speed +2.0% and did more Rifle damage.
Pandora
Named after the Greek mythology character, Pandora uses evil tricks to dominate the playground. Not fond of males, due to a neglectful owner, this ball-jointed doll uses her seductive appeal to lure in targets before destroying them. Pandora also despises Naomi, a young anime doll.
Pandora has pale purple skin and has often more of a gothic/dark look, making her seductive and poise.
She was one of the first 4 figurines released, and obtaining her had the cost of 20000 MicroPoints. Later in MicroVolts Surge this was changed and she became a free playable character.
Pandora had +2.5% Explosion Armor and did more Sniper damage.
C.H.I.P
C.H.I.P. (Complex Humanoid Interchangeable Parts) is a mechanized Stikfas Figure originally created using spare parts salvaged from a junk yard. He has a very taunting and fun personality, making him loved by many. He is extremely impatient and always the first to charge into battle, without any regard for his own safety. This makes him a highly unpredictable opponent. He was one of the first 4 figurines released, and obtaining him had the cost of 20000 MicroPoints. Later in MicroVolts Surge this was changed and he became a free playable character.
C.H.I.P had a base HP of 2040, Run Speed boosted by 1.0% and did more Bazooka damage.
Knox
Knox was one of the first four figurines in the game, being cost free made him the most played male character until MicroVolts Surge. He is the stereotypical 'punk' character, dressing in t-shirts and shorts along with rather ridiculous hairstyles. His comments are also very intimidating and taunting. Knox was made to be a more tough version of Kai.
Knox had a base HP of 2080 and did more Gatling Gun damage.
Kai
Kai is modeled after a highschool boy, going in pair with Naomi. He was the fifth figure added to the game, charming everyone and becoming one of the most played characters. Although he was added so late into the game, his character was one of the first 4 figurines made in MicroVolts lore, making him a character well known to the Asian playerbase.
New generation
There were 4 more characters later added to the game that don't have much information about their background.
Amelia is modeled after an Elf, having a more pristine and clean look. She was first obtainable through MP and RT hammers, RT shop or Legenday High Elf Package. She was the first character that had her own set of weapons. Amelia's base stats were run speed +3.0%, and Explosion Armor +10.0%.
