Fangs of a monkey, stripes of a tiger, and companion of a snake.
Meet the orca nue hybrid yokai Tobu, or as I like to call him by his own species a Nuca. He is heavily inspired by my favorite Touhou character Nue Houjuu hence his distorted-looking wings and lack of the tail of a snake.
Personallity
Although the Nue is considered to be an evil yokai that brings illness and misfortune to mankind, Tobu is actually quite friendly to the humans and oftentimes he’s been seen transporting humans to their destinations like an actual airplane. After all, Tobu is immortal, so he doesn't really need to eat to survive. However, despite his friendliness, Tobu has been accused of jabbing his metallic-looking wings into airplanes to either hatch a ride or to view what the humans are up to just for fun. This kind of behavior is heavily despised by pilots due to the damages he inflects, although Tobu doesn't really mean to cause any harm, he just loves to see the reactions on the passenger's faces as he flies or sticks by the airplane.
Tobu is good friend to his Sea Likeu friend Schallferin, ever since he’d entered his life, Tobu felt like he actually had purpose in his life to become an helpful assistant in Schallferin’s Baku Dream Service besides flying around just watching humans.
Wings
These strange blue appendages are Tobu’s wings. They are made out of some sort of durable metal and can be used to jab any metal surfaces such as ships and planes. His wings give him all the powers to remain a yokai and he doesn't want anyone to take them away and garner the same power as him. When lost or removed Tobu is unfortunately forced to wait a month to regrow them.
TV Stomach
This is where Schallferin spends most of his time here.
Inside Tobu’s stomach is a retractable TV that was recently installed by his Sea Liku friend Schallferin two decades ago. Apparently, Schallferin discovered that his wings can be used as antennas. It's mostly used to keep track of Schallferin’s daily tasks and working records for Baku Dream Service but whenever Schallferin is on break or off duty it can be used for entertainment. You can watch anything on it during your internal flight, no subscriptions are needed.
Twenty
Twenty is Tobu’s royal companion. His named is Twenty because well, he’s his 20th Krait currently serving him. Twenty is very loyal to Tobu, like many other kraits that once served him in the past, he will follow Tobu’s orders at all times whenever in danger or in public. He usually prefers to either hang around Tobu’s tail, dorsal fin, or pectoral fins.
Powers
* Flight - Tobu can fly, enough said…
* Danmaku - He can shoot a bunch of projectiles in every direction, his favorite kinds of bullets he likes to summon are red cubes and sometimes kraits.
* Smokescreen - Tobu can blind his enemies by summoning black clouds to blur their vision.
* Commanding his krait - His trusty krait Twenty is always loyal to him. Twenty will always follow Tobu’s orders.
* Immortality - Tobu has lived on the for 2 centuries, nothing can stop him unless…
* Cloud Eating - If you want Tobu to have a really big belly you’ll have to wait until he flies up in the air to suck up a cloud. He’ll bloat up his belly and give you a nice orca belly sandwich if you want. Tobu can not inhale his smokescreen.
Weakness
Tobu may be immortal but that doesn't mean he can’t be stopped. Legend has it that if both of his wings were removed with a huge amount of force Tobu would then become powerless and unable to fight.
Another weakness of his is arrows. If you shoot some sort of arrow at his belly or wings, Tobu will flinch from the pain giving you the opportunity to attack.
Fun fact, In Japanese Folklore Yorimasa fired an arrow at the beast killing the Nue.
Feel free to ask any questions about my oc!
Hyoo Hyoo!
