| Poulets |
Ventre's servants. A Poulet is a "Perfect Automated Doll"
invented by Ventre, a famous scientist and criminal mastermind.
In the last 10 years, Ventre has produced over 100 Poulets!
They enjoy taking part in his plans as it affords them the opportunity
to play and be reckless.
The Poulets are very familiar with the use of a variety of
weaponry, since they have been raised to use this type of
equipment. After going through a rigorous training program,
they are permitted to join Ventre's criminal organization. For
them, carrying out dangerous missions is pure joy.
|
 |
| |
Poulets who have performed above expectations can be
promoted to "Leaders." As leaders, they have the opportunity
to earn bonuses based on their successes. They also receive
yellow uniforms signifying their status. It is a very desirable
promotion for them. But with the title comes new responsibilities,
and if they get lazy, they can be demoted to ordinary soldiers.
Furthermore, a Poulet who continuously does an outstanding job
has the chance to be promoted to a "Butler." In this position, even
larger bonuses can be earned! Butlers also receive special gray
suits to signify their status. Only the two top performing Poulets
will be offered positions as Ventre's personal butlers. As such, they
are always busy answering phones and serving tea to Ventre.

THE PLANES OF SKYGUNNER
| Avenir (Ciel) |
This is a stable fighter which features the special
"Heavy Fire" attack and "Air Brakes." When used
together, these special techniques will take out tough
enemies with ease. The Avenir is also one of the older
fighters, built by Ciel's grandfather and family friends.
However, because of its superb design, it is not easily
outclassed by even the newest type of fighters.

| Chevalier (Copain) |
A high-speed fighter that can be used to perform
the Vortex maneuver, a chain of barrel rolls that
temporarily grants invincibility and can also be used
to damage adjacent enemies. This well-designed
aircraft was manufactured by Associé, a company
whose name means "partner." Not as maneuverable

efficient engine.

| Branché (Femme) |
Easy to learn and handle, this fighter can bank sharply by

considers the Branché to be its masterpiece. The fighter has
recently been presented to Femme, and this job in Rive will be
her first opportunity to use it.
