Artist's Comments

[link] Alma's computer-savy partner in crime, Kijuuki is a crane with some cyborg modificaitons and replacements to his body. He is a bumbling chatter-box of a partner, however no matter how eccentric or bizzare he is in the end of the day, he is a close friend and worthwhile ally.

Kijuuki is rather jittery, and rambles on and on and on when he gets nervous or is confronted. Usually he is left to deal with all sorts of computer hacking, lockpicking, etc, as opposed to direct violence on the duos' jobs.

Thanks to his implants he can directly interface with all kinds of machines. This allows him to effortlessly hack and write programs. His visor enhances his poor vision and relays information to him visually. The visor directly connects to two hubs on each of his ears, and those two hubs are in turn, connected to his CPU modual that runs from ear to ear over the back of his head. This enhances his intelect and thinking speed, allowing him to work at the speeds of most computers. This rapid thinking though makes even the smallest off topic thought cause him to go off on rambling tangents. A small modual is mounted over his nostrals to help with his breathing and filter out dangerous airborn agents. It can change it's filtering rate on a molecular level, allowing more oxygen to get to his brain, and a small wire connects it directly to his CPU modual. One of his most interesting cybernetic enhancements is his right wing. It is an almost exact replica of one of the wing he lost in a past event which he doesn't talk of. It moves as it should, mimicking his natural motions and mannerisms. His other implants are powered by his own body heat, but the wing consumes so much power that it requires a battery pack attached to his hip. The wire is about as well attacked as a headphone jack, and pops out at a minor tug. When the wire is disconnected, his wing simply falls limp to his side. It isn't hard wired anymore, it was at one point but when it got snagged, the wire ripped, and he had to wait several weeks for a replacement. He now carries a spare one as well. An interface unit on each ankle allows more control over his own systems and other computers. For amusement, he has added a slave type music system, along with a large database of music. When he (or Alma) selects a song he sings it... this has come back to bite him at times, being stuck half way though a song in an awkward situation and continuing to sing against his own better judgement... mind you I never said it was good singing. A poor attempt to learn music screwed him over, as he is no longer able to find the firmware that runs the slave music program...


With all these enhancements, he is still a scrawny and weak character. His brains well complement Alma's brawn, and the two have been close friends, and have been working closely for years.

He stands at shoulder height with his partner, Alma.

Kijuuki means 'crane', while Jougen means 'useless words' or 'chatter'

Wow, what a neat character. Excellent design and personality.

I think half the battle is creating a lovable (or hatable) personality for a character. Oftentimes you see these silent heros that don't say much and just look cool and those are a dime a dozen. Characters like this though are really individual and reflect the creativity of the artist.

Once again, superior character! :+fav:

this is great

hey with alma and now this guy... have you ever considering making a sci-fi universe that is more light-hearted than IoM? just fun stuff? or do you just want to keep them as characters that can be in whatever
:iconmesklinite01:
Cyborg crane?!?!? Crazy awesome!

So are there humans, aliens AND talking animals in your scifi universe?

C: thank you

:P nope... they are not part of my other scifi stuff with the Kanari and the Virrans

Kijuuki and Alma are more or less for fun, who hopefully can just interact with other people's general scifi stuff
