Ko-Shin and Nan-Su (The Zuni Twins)


Art by Henry


Ko-Shin and Nan-Su are twin Zhuni sisters and the sole students/daughters of respected martial arts master Ban "Cannon Fist" Liao.  They have a rather unique mutation of being born twins, their dantian and their very souls became connected to the point that neither can access the full extent at the same time as the other.  While this isn't a problem or even noticeable while just moving around and being calm, the moment one gets excited or expresses any big emotion the other feels less.  If one becomes filled with an emotion or feeling to extreme levels the other becomes a passive body just following her sister around and maneuver based on base instinct if danger comes until she calms down.  Doing this also transfer recent thoughts and feelings to the other, allowing them to send messages across any distance without speaking and if only one closes her eyes she can see through her sister's.  Due this level of a bond they are extremely close and always right next to each other unless they are needed by their father in two places at once.  Building on their bond their father has trained them in a variation of his fighting style built to be used by two people at once, the two sisters fighting as extensions of the other with every movement chained and built on.  They are capable of switching offense and defense as needed with no noticeable communication with the other sister chaining an attack off of the block or parry right as it happens.


Much like their father they don't have real jobs, though they do have a house and land thanks to their wealthy mother instead they let her handle everything and travel around fighting people and training in their martial art.  Much like him they normally pay off debts and bills via beating up trouble makers and doing shows.  Their goal in life is to become a legendary martial arts hero that is spoken about for generations, and to that end they seek out anything and anyone related to martial arts and constantly enter tournaments.  Their father having successfully convinced several high ranking officials that his daughters were one person with a chi technique that splits them in two, allowing them to fight in single tournaments if they want to.  Where they often develop one sided rivalries with people of great skill or children of other masters swearing to overcome them and prove that their father is the greatest master no matter if the other side cares or not. 

Twins Concept

So early on when decided to do a Visual Novel dealing with the Empress's daughter (who will get her own profile soon enough) I decided she needed some good teenage rivals as part of the cast of characters.  After thinking of things that fit the martial arts theme I chose a pair of characters that would be out to prove themselves at every turn.  Being two of them kept the challenge up and gave a real obstacle to showcase where she is and where she still has to go as a martial artist and their goal having to do with family fit well with hers of what she has to live up to.  After that we thought of ways to make interactions cool and decided twins would be the cutest choice and based their quirks and stuff off of that decision.  And so we got what are actually my favorite characters design wise.
