Ok, it’s been a while but I’m in a better head-space now, so It’s time to get BACK to the basics with four new characters! Three of which are tied together in terms of storyline, so a mega post it is!
Click below for the whole shebang. Seriously, it’s a long one! It even includes Henry Boppleson’s proper introduction to the Nonkinaverse! (If ya didn’t know, I won Henry from a giveaway held by the lovely folks at @dailyclowns!)
Oh yeah, these three.
Kobe and Sparrow started out as a clone of Ace and Jigu-Jo given similiar dynamics, but I switched up some aspects enough to avoid a Ryu and Ken sort of thing (even though I have a lot of Boxing characters, oops).
I think I got the Bellhop angle from Spirou of all things. Probably, I don’t remember Spirou all that well. The only French comic I can recall off the top of my head is Lastman.
Also Henry was designed by a friend of mine. I wanted to give Sparrow a sidekick best friend and my own friend came in clutch.
- C-KUN, from the Nonkinaverse Design Bible
Name: Kobe-Maru Nishi Age (at the start of Nonkina Ace -April 10th, 2014): 82 DOB: June 2nd, 1932 Gender: Male Height: 8′6″ Sexuality: Straight/Asexual Occupation: Former Assassin, Martial Artist, Hotel Bellhop Nationality: Japanese Home State: Hokkaido, Japan Likes: Melee combat, Sudoku and other types of puzzles, training, coffee in the morning Dislikes: Modern art and music, street fashions, youthful people who throw caution to the wind, pepper, city life Favorite Food: Harihari-nabe Personality: Quiet, Semi-Stoic Fighting Style: Absolution (Personal Martial Art, mix of Shoot Boxing/Muay Thai, Shuri-te karate, Kun Gek Do) Clown-Po Ability: Healing Factor, Energy Dispersal
In the unwritten history of Combat, there are many legends who remain shrouded in mystery. Tales of fighters with the strength of gods, lost to the flow of time. Of these unsung legends was Kobe-Maru Nishi, known to those who have heard of his skills of a fighter as ‘The God of Absolution’.
Very little is known about Kobe-Maru. What is known is that he hails from a family of Shuri-te karate practitioners located deep within Hokkaido, and he traveled the world learning more Martial Arts to make himself stronger than the rest, combing all of knowledge to create ‘Absolution’.
And while Kobe had a small stint on the professional Martial Arts circuit, his true job was that of an assassin, going after those who fill the world with strife and woe.
However, there was always one problem that would come up time and time again: The Future of Absolution.
Kobe never really put into thought as to how Absolution will survive after his eventual death. He could never really find a suitable partner or student who he deemed worthy enough to learn it.
That was until he started working at The Heights Hotel in Diamond Star where he met a young man by the name of Sparrow Vel.
Name: Sparrow Vel Age: 17 DOB: April 21st, 2000 Gender: Male Height: 6′7″ Sexuality: Straight Occupation: Hotel Bellhop Nationality: French-American Home City: Diamond Star, New Yor-Kyu Likes: Reading, Fighting, his job, hearing stories about his parent’s adventures, his best friend Henry, getting tips Dislikes: Rude hotel guests, walking up long flights of stairs, broccoli Favorite Food: Pepperoni Pizza Personality: Adventurous, Spunky, full of life Fighting Style: Absolution Clown-Po Ability: Energy Dispersal, can tap into a sort of ‘Berserk-er’ mode
Sparrow was the son of an adventurous couple who ended up winding down into The Heights just as Kobe-Maru joined the staff.
He saw Sparrow’s golden heart at work day by day, seeing the true kindness and generosity to others he had himself as a child.
In Kobe’s eyes, Sparrow was the ideal candidate for Absolution.
So one day when he and Sparrow had off from work, Kobe-Maru took Sparrow to the forest below Mt. Inoki. Kobe had promised to show something Sparrow would have never seen before.
Finding an old oak tree that was as thick as 7 concrete walls, Kobe-Maru showed the power of Absolution to Sparrow by kicking the entire tree down in one roundhouse.
Sparrow was stunned and amazed by Kobe-Maru’s power. It was like something out of a superhero movie or an anime!
Admiring his power, Kobe-Maru turned around and spoke to Sparrow.
“This power...It’s something amazing, isn’t it? Tell me Sparrow...Do you wish to have this power as well?”
Sparrow begged for Kobe-Maru to teach him, and within months Sparrow had his Clown-Po spark to life, finally being able to keep up with Kobe-Maru, forming a strong student-teacher bond.
Within one year of training, Sparrow had finally reached the same level of power as Kobe-Maru. But Kobe wasn’t satisfied just yet. For there was one more thing that laid ahead of Sparrow’s training.
The underground fighting tournament: Battle C-Road. A tournament that Kobe-Maru himself had entered many, many years ago.
This tournament will be the true test of Sparrow’s power...
And then there’s Henry Boppleson.
Name: Henry ‘Justin’ Boppleson Age: 17 DOB: February 1st, 2000 Gender: Male Height: 6′1″ Sexuality: Straight Occupation: Hotel Bellhop Nationality: American Home City: Los Angeles, California Likes: Getting paid, working hard, girls, boobs, his old trusty handbuzzer, his best bud Sparrow, watching fights, Combat Sector Dislikes: Not getting tips for carrying loads of bags up several flights of stairs, whoopie cushions, Kobe-Maru’s lectures and speeches Favorite Food:  Personality: Laid back, easily excitable, a bit of a prankster Fighting Style: N/A Clown-Po Ability: N/A 
Henry’s not much of a fighter, or a fighter at all for that matter. He’s Sparrow’s best friend since they first met in middle school, and their bond is iron clad.
But while Henry lacks in his own fighting spirit, he’s still knowledgeable about combat sports, ranging from Pro Wrestling to MMA, to obscure PPV only events that ran under the name of ‘Combat Sector’.
Other than that, he’s a hard worker with a love for the ladies, and penchant for the old hand buzzer gag~
