17 – Birq of the Ninja Bros. by Beausephus+Son

CHARACTER NAME:  Birq, of the Ninja Brothers

DATE OF CREATION: Summer 2011

CONCEPT:  ”Birq is a ninja who uses guns and lasers because sometimes a sword isn’t going to work, so he has to use a blaster to blast the bad guys.  He also has a magic little sword like all of his brothers in the Ninja Bros.”

So when the mood strikes my son (and that is quite often) and he wants to make up “superguys”, “superdudes”, “supermans”… I pull out a bunch of templates I made for him and he picks out everything from the style of boots to the color scheme of the various costume options presented before him.  I then draw quick sketch, and he edits, adds, etc…  I then draw up the character and he hangs them in his room…if they meet his ultimate judgement.  Then I make him come up with a story for each character.

THE NINJA BROTHERS is a story that my son started to tell me one night before bedtime.  Perhaps in an attempt to put off the impending lights-out, the story of three long-lost brothers became almost epic in its proportions spreading out over a few evenings and interweaving all of his interests  – superheroes, spies, ninjas, and magic.

BIRQ is the middle brother of the three siblings who make up the NINJA BROTHERS.  Like his elder brother, KOKU, BiRQ trained in the martial arts for years in the hope of getting to be strong enough to take on the evil ninja master that kidnapped their youngest brother, STINGUT, as a baby.

When the brothers are ready, BIRQ and KOKU infiltrate the evil ninja master’s fortress, rescue their youngest sibling, and dedicate their lives to battling the evil ninja master.

BIRQ, for all intents and purposes, is the tech guy in the trio.  While he trained in martial arts and ninja magic, he prefers technology that he can rott around in , rewire, and rebuild.  he makes high-tech devices to use in tandem with his brothers’ more mystic tricks and tactics.  Like all of his brothers, BIRQ is  master at hand to hand combat, and “super old, magic ninja tricks.”  He carries a small magic sword that is identical to weapons his brothers carry.

Thanks for checking out our stuff, my son is very excited to share his ideas with everyone here.
