Nightow’s Comments

First round of Nightow’s comments from B5. Second round here

( from this point on POV= Nightow)

Klaus:

The Reinherz family itself is not a family of Blood-breed hunters. They are an extremely aristocratic family with an incredible amount of prestige even among the “outside world”. Klaus is the third son. He has 2 older brothers and one older sister. Because of a certain “trigger” only Klaus became a vampire hunter. Because of this, the Reinherz house is now backing Fang Hunters. There seems to be an important reason Klaus has to wear glasses as well as why he calls Abrams “teacher”. I am thinking about various settings about his past. His face is intense despite having idealistic thoughts that are laughable. 

Leo:

In simple terms Leo is the “viewer” He is in the role of watching HL from the public view point so his name is “Watch”. He is also the ‘reactionist” to make him more relatable. In a place full of unusual people and things I would call his role fairly important.  I was inspired by Peter Parker of Sam Raimi’s Spider Man. He gives pictures that he can’t sell to a newspaper company. Leo’s parents are alive. His father is quiet and serious while his Mother is quite spunky. His family is the community leader. Leo’s camera is second-hand (used). 

Zapp

was created out of a necessity for a “ransacker” to help move the story. If the story only has characters of a certain nature, the story will calm down and won’t move, so it is very handy. Regarding the design, I just sketched a character that came naturally to me. Zapp is also a character with a mysterious past isn’t he? Why is he able to use blood techniques? Perhaps it was necessary for survival. He is basically “rootless grass” living off of women. He is really lazy. He seems to insist on smoking on cigars. 

Steven: 

I figured Libra would need a quick-witted worker. His relationship with Klaus is like Yin and Yang. Despite his soft smile he is always guarded. While terrifying when facing enemies, as a friend there are not any men that are so dependable. The two have been acquainted since quite young. I originally thought of a character with scars on his face because I wanted to parody the name “Scarface” （スカーフィいズ） to  “Starphase”（スターフィイズ）. The tattoo starts at the neck and spreads throughout his body. It extends from the neck and uses his feet as attack sites via the heart.

Chain:

 Libra’s “red-pointer”. I designed her after my usual modal of woman.  She was inspired by Yoko Makai and her role in “SP” (something about a Metropolitan Police Force Guard Division 4).  In my first idea of Blood Blockade Battlefront, Klaus is a vampire, Gilbert is a mummy man so I thought to have another famous creature by adding a “were wolf” (lol). Regarding the werewolf and their abilities, there are various “settings” that have not been explored yet. Specifically about things related to Chains “father”. She was a member of the wolf bureau although it seems that’s second-hand since she’s joined Libra.                                                               

Nightow’s Comments Pt2

Nightow’s Comments- First Round Here

Second round of Nightow’s comments from B5. 

( from this point on POV= Nightow/ AN= Me)

KK:

I wanted to put another woman on the team. I wanted a character who used firearms. I gave her an eyepatch considering the design balance of the team. K.K is a codename. She has a clear model (although a bit unrelated so I’m not going to reveal it in detail lol). K.K’s life (and past) is quite complicated. Her husband (AN: Danna= husband!) should know her real name. She spends her birthday with her husband.

Zed:

When creating Zed’s design, I was thinking of a masked character or someone that doesn’t look human. So I made a fish person. His design was the most difficult for me and I find myself changing his design little by little. Because I wanted him to be able to “glide” his weight is unexpectedly lighter than a normal humans (laughs). His skin is semi-transparent and gradually becomes “soup-like”. He has the same seriousness as Klaus however he properly fights Zapp due to being on the same level.  

Brody & Hummer

The team’s “Gori-macho” (gorilla). This character is absolutely essential. When thinking of what the big body should like, I thought of Venom from Spider-Man. I thought it would be interesting if the exterior looked kind of muddy. Hummer is a natural gigolo even without trying. He is a person who can survive without having to work (lol). Just by smiling and saying “thanks” he is able to eat from the selflessness of the older women in the city.  Although his method of living is much like his Zapps, Hummer is much better at being a pimp. Brody tends to be misunderstood. Although his mouth looks like it was self-inflicted cuts… it’s actually just markings.

Gilbert:

Gilbert’s design was based off a mummy, I was inspired by Alfred the “All-purpose Butler” from Batman. For a young master like Klaus, a talented butler is essential. He is good at driving everything, however there may be things that can’t be done. The bandages are not wrapped around the whole body only the parts that are visible. His skin color might be a result of him being a corpse.
