Friends of Sasuyo
1.
"Alcoholic dunk shooter"
Nomu Badbooze (nomu="to drink")
From front.
Axe. Blade is gleaming blue-white.
Clan : Bumblebee
Gender : Female
Age : 17
Height :
160 cm
Weight : 52 kg
Hair : Blue
Eyes : Red
Wings : Same as Sasuyo; one pair of tiger
stripes.
Role : Childhood friend of Sasuyo. One who
is always drunk.
In Japanese calls herself as : ore
Nickname invented by Ginji : Prickyhead
Example of speeches :
"Don't be silent you fool!"
"Listen, everyone, Sasuyo's name means
thrust-between legs!"
"Urrrghh... I'm sick..."
Special technique :
Great rolling axe
Nomu flies up, then acutely dives, rolling
and poising an axe. She gets sick and vomits
in the process, thus doubling the damage
to enemy.
Nomu is a typical Bumblebee which is recognizable
by her pricky hairs. She heard that the war
was going to happen in Hypnotic City, so
she and Kiru arrived to drag Sasuyo out to
hang out with them.
Nomu is basically always heavily drunk when
she is awake (absence of alcohol in Nomu
immobilizes her). Nomu always has some kind
of liquor with her. Nomu often vomits. Eyes
are comparably large, and she is always either
smiling stupidly or laughing like a fool.
Nomu speaks coarsely. Nomu loves making fun
of Sasuyo, by saying like "you're boring"
or "your breasts are too small"
in front of others. However, it's true that
Sasuyo had been with her and Kiru since early
childhood.
The bar in back of her waist is a handle
of axe which she conjures with power of spirit
when she fights. Weapons as small as Nomu's
axe are uncommon among Bumblebees. Though
drunk, Nomu is a moderately good combatant.
Note Nomu has a bad drinking-table feat,
which she drops off her pants then apply
liquor bottle on her crotch, shouting "I'M
MAN!". Though not an entertaining show,
her friends greets her customary show.
Nomu moves with agility, almost like a trapeze
in the air, but her druken feet afford bad
balance. Her@clumsiness with video games
is a target of ridicule from Kiru.
Nomu loves basketball, where she leads Bumblebee
team, and is a dunk shot champion who jumps
taller than beanpole Stick Insect clan team.
About drawing :
Nomu wears intricate armor like that of Tao in Warzard, the Capcom game. She does not
wear cap or feather, though.
Nomu has darker skin compared to Kiru. Nomu's has three distinctive hard pointed
mass of hairs.
Kiru has a pair of wings exactly like those
of Sasuyo.
2.
"Cutlassed gamer"
Kiru Kidman (kiru="to cut")
From front.
Brom back.
Cutlass. Blade is gleaming blue-white.
Clan : Bumblebee
Gender : Female
Age : 17
Height : 162 cm
Weight : 54 kg
Hair : Blonde
Eyes : Brown
Wings : Same as Sasuyo; one pair of tiger
stripes.
Role : Childhood friend of Sasuyo. One who
is always drunk.
In Japanese calls herself as : ore
Nickname invented by Ginji : Broomstick
Example of speeches :
"Help me, handsome fellow overthere..."
"Urrghhh..."
Special technique:
Cut-in-half
Kiru is a Bumblebee, whose hairs are held
by straps that encircle her forehead and
also run between front and rear of her head.
Kiru is always together with Nomu. They occasionally
fight each other wildly, though.
Most of Kiru's basic features are same with
Nomu, including being drunk all the time.
One huge difference is that Kiru is highly
skilled with fighting video game, while Nomu
is impoverished in talent of game-playing.
Kiru is always hanging a handle of huge cutlass
down her back. Kiru employs the cutlass with
ease, accurate enough to truncate neck of
the bottle which Nomu is holding.
About drawing :
Kiru has no apparent model. Kiru wears fewer
clothing. Only armor piece she wears is brass
round plate around her neck, shoulder and
upper part of her back. Kiru wears cut pink
basketball shirt (therefore her navel exposed),
and also cut-off blue jeans, with raw strings
hanging down her thigh. Kiru wears sandals
whose laces reach below her knees.
Kiru is larger, slightly fatter and more
pale than Nomu.
Kiru has a pair of wings exactly like those
of Sasuyo.
From designer :
I initially invented Nomu and Kiru as Sasuyo's
homeland friends who are waiting her when
she returns home in the ending.
Since Sasuyo is, unlike most characters who
are stereotypes of their clans, Sasuyo is
meant to be "con against the way her
clansmen live", so I have to use Nomu
and Kiru to express majority of Bumblebee.
Though the Bumblebee clan itself was meant
to be war clan, appearance of a super-duper
extreme character called Kamako (of Mantis
clan) caused shift of Bumblebees toward direction
of "raucous problematic clan".
