Waaaaay back in grade school (this was in the teenage mutant ninja 80's) a classmate of mine came up with this idea called samurai ducks.
The samurai ducks were a direct lets call it an homage of TMNT.
Since grade school I have made quite a few homages myself. Still basically inspired by TMNT the Bushin Ducks are three different characters trained by the same sensei at different times in his life. Each duck is a master in a different skill set.
MAI the female, is a ninjitsu master. She could be right beside you and you wouldnt know it until it was too late. The big guy is KENSHIRO. Named after my favorite Fist of the NorthStar character, he is what is known as a hard master. This means his body has been trained to have a certain level of invulverability. MAL, the short tempered one, is the blade master. If its sharp, he can use it as a weapon. The story is pretty simple. Set in the future, the ducks encounter each other, travel together and try to find the commonalities in what thier sensei taught each one of them. Along the way the find a few scraps to get into...
In the Bushin Ducks future there are lawmen and women. Some of them walk the line between good and evil. Tru-star was inspired by the character Jeff Bridges played in the film True Grit. At least her personality is. Her visual is based on some of the old Clint Eastwood westerns like "2 mules for sister sarah" and "A fist full of dollars". The huge poncho to conceal movement, the big gun belt even the spurs on her boots. As a kind of space sheriff Tru-star wants nothing more than to bring criminals to justice. The ducks adventures will bring thier path into direct contact with this guntoting law giver....
One of the greatest parts of Bushin Ducks is coming up with the bounty hunter villians.
