Background/History: July is a character from the anime Coyote Ragtime Show. She is a combat android and one of Marciano’s Twelve Sisters. She was probably built by Dr. Neilson, an employee of Marciano who handles all of the maintenance and repair work on the Sisters. Her true age and previous history are never revealed but she and all of the Sisters have been around long enough to gain a reputation as deadly assassins.
Madame Marciano the owner/employer of the Sisters is a cyborg. As such she is incapable of having children and this may be a factor in the bitterness that she displays. July and all of her sisters are the daughters that Marciano could never have. In addition to being her own personal hit squad the Sisters act as her servants and children.
Personality/Motivation: July is much like June in that she is doesn’t talk too much. But this may simply be because she plays one of the smallest parts in the anime. She seems to enjoy her work the same as all of her sisters, in fact based on one of her few speaking parts, she may be a little competitive with them.
We have very little to play with as far as July’s motivations and personality. She is usually only in the background and she only rarely has a speaking part. July always has an innocent little smile on her face, even when she is chopping you up. Most of the time that she is seen she is slicing up some poor soul who never even managed to get a shot off at her. From these cameos it looks like she rarely leaves survivors.
Quote: “Okay, I’m gonna go get‘em first!”
Powers/Tactics: She effectively attacks with a katana in Episode One and she does so with blinding speed. A guard has his gun out and tells her to raise her hands; she draws her sword and kills him before he can react. This is the only time, other than background shots, that we see her in action with personal weapons. She is shown on numerous occasions carrying the katana and it seems to be her only weapon. It is clear that she is deadly with it.
She is a good space fighter pilot. It seems all of the Sisters are. It is claimed by some that she is the strongest of all the Sisters and if this is the case she might be the most dangerous. Her added STR also means that she can leap further than the other sisters.
She is fast on her feet and can often close on a victim before they have a chance to bring ranged weapons into use. She is skilled in Kenjutsu and Karate.
Campaign Use: July is a hand to hand combatant. Her dexterity and speed make her deadly in this role. She is very stealthy and only June can compete with her in this respect. She has no ranged attack, it is not her style, though if given a ranged weapon it is likely she would be good with it.
July excels at closing with her enemies and slicing them to pieces while smiling the whole time. Her sword can be drawn and put into action almost instantly, so she has a good chance of catching even wary opponents by surprise.
Appearance: July is appears to be in her late teens or early twenties. She has dark brown hair but her eye color is never revealed, she always has a slit-eyed smile on her face. Her maids outfit is armless with past-the-elbow, fingerless black gloves. Her skirt has a long slit in it. Her overall costume seems to have some Oriental influence to it. Doubtless her costume is made to give her maximum freedom of movement for her martial arts. She stands about 5’6” tall and is heavy due to the android body.
July Designer’s Notes:
STR 25: It is claimed that July is the strongest of them all. I read that on a website that referenced the manga but this STR also works out very well with her katana.
DEX 23: July seems to be the fastest of the Sisters and her sword moves like lightning.
CON 15: There is no reason to assume that her systems are any less resilient than any of the other sisters.
BODY 15: She has the durable body of all fully-grown looking models.
INT 10: July is never shown to be smarter than average.
EGO 13: A strong willpower is often the hallmark of a true martial artist.
PRE 15: Her provocative dress and mannerisms draw attention.
COM 18: She is beautiful and her costume is more sexy than most.
PD 12: Her PD is balanced to reflect shrugging off 7.62mm fire and not RPG-7 rounds. In fact May’s combat in Episode is the basis for calculating the DEF and BODY of the Sisters as a whole.
ED 8: None of the Sisters are ever hit by energy based attacks so we have nothing with which to gauge their resistance or weakness to such attacks. I have opted to give her a good deal of ED but not as much as her PD. Her ED will also get full damage resistance.
SPD 5: She is very fast and a lightning-like martial artist.
REC 15: None of the Sisters, if left operable, are down for long when hit. In fact you never see one of them out of action for more than a second or two unless they are completely broken.
END 0: Being an android all of their skills, powers, talents, perks and characteristics are bought down to 0 END cost, END therefore becomes a moot point.
STUN 50: One of the front-line combatants and so she gets maximum STUN.
