Right, so. Leopard does not call people by their names. Nerval, Xanthippe, Benkei, and... I think Kagura? Are the only exceptions. And they're the other Brains and Kagura Motherfucking Shishedo. Instead, he gives people names. Or just refuses to acknowledge them (HI ITSUKI). The names are insulting but not really malevolent.



Nicknamed:

Glinda - Bag Girl
Nunnally - Buttersomething

Kareha wa doshite?!!!!!1?

Macross has ruined me! This journal feels naked without music! "Space is a Girl's Friend"/"Sora wa Shoujo no Tomodachi sa," by the way, is the first ending song.

Character Disc 1: Akiha (MAKO)
"Yura Yura Dreamer"
"Space is a Girl's Friend (Akiha version)"

Character Disc 2: Itsuki (Aya Endo)
"Ruri iro no Gyakkou"
"Space is a Girl's Friend (Itsuki version)"

Character Disc 3: Honoka (Yui Makino)
"Moroi Mirai Kirai"
"Space is a Girl's Friend (Honoka version)"

With this offering to Sunrise, I pray for a completely terrible Leopard image song so I can get this out of my head.

I am going to summarize the whole finale:

Prince of Darkness: I CHALLENGE YOU TO A SHADOW DUEL.
Akiha: RIDER KIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.
Nerval: Murrue Ramius, FIRE!

- "Imagine" (Nami + Aleida, fluff, circa episode 19)
- "Data" (Tsutsuji x Benkei, bad porn, set after Jupiter)
- "Enigma" (Nerval x Kagura, learning to be human, spoilers for episode 24)
- 6/30 "Enough Space and Things To Do" (Nerval + Kagura + ensemble, post-series BRADY BUNCH ENDING)

First impressions for ~*~LEOPARD~*~.

Large chunks of episode 24 via Gleam.

( Is that any way to talk to the future ruler of the universe? )

( SON I AM DISAPPOINT ) And in the end, this episode had everything I ever want from Space Cake: Nerval being awkwardly fatherly, failninjas being hilarious, and 22G being fucking fabulous.

Well the regular stats + permissions meme doesn't really work for Leopard.

Leopard is a diamond-shaped box with a big fuschia eye. He tends to hover so that the eye is at head-height for most people; from tip to tip, Leopard is probably a bit over two meters. Here are good shots of Leopard.

Without the Leopard Colony (sob), Leopard doesn't have special abilities. There are certain psychics that can affect him, but since no one plays Existence, this is irrelevant. If we get a Nami, uh, Nami babe, we will need to talk about Existence. Perhaps more importantly, you absolutely cannot hack Leopard. This is because Leopard is not connected to the internet or any other network. He is a completely closed system. When he gets on the 'net, he uses a laptop and types with his fingers.

Please don't kill him. Unlike ♥ NeruNeru ♥ , Leopard cannot cook.

...

Leopard's blood type is AB.

Character: Leopard
Series: The Girl Who Leapt Through Space
Character Age: 50+*

Canon: Fifty years ago, the Shishedo Conglomerate created a technological marvel: an artificial intelligence, or ‘Brain’, called Nerval, designed to improve human life in space by perfectly micromanaging life in a new ‘Brain Colony’. This was all well and good until Nerval decided that the best way to improve human life was to put everyone in boxes. That sucked. So the Shishedos built another Brain, Leopard, who exploded Nerval temporarily. Unfortunately, the government then removed critical components of Leopard’s colony and sent Leopard off to sleep around Jupiter. Awakening half a century later, Leopard returns to Earth and encounters ambitionless Shishedo Akiha, and finds himself teaming up with the Shishedos to fight Nerval again.

While his nemesis is sane but evil, Leopard is good but completely batshit. Despite styling himself as a wise and refined gentleman (‘a lone, noble wandering soul’ and ‘the most moe character in all space’), Leopard is really a vain, delusional, eccentric, self-centered, reclusive, overreacting, loud, spazzing, insulting, and generally rude giant supercomputer baby who does seriously weird stuff to entertain himself. But because he hates Nerval, doesn’t want to box people, and can occasionally be harassed into acting charitable, this crazy AI is, weirdly enough, humanity’s only hope.

* AGE NOTE: Leopard was built over fifty years ago, but spent most of that time in hibernation. Other Brains call him a ‘little kid’, and Leopard claims that if he were human, he’d anthropomorphize as a seventeen-year-old.

Sample Entry:

‘Toucans squawk loudly.
I prefer locals singing
Praise of Leopard’.

With that brilliant haiku from Leopard, we begin today’s broadcast of Radio Leopard, the only program produced by Leopard, for Leopard, about Leopard. This is your host Leopard, bringing Leopard an exciting special on ‘Leopard in Camp Fuck You Die’, with a native admirer here to discuss the many wonders of Leopard. Which aspect of Leopard’s inspiring presence could he choose? Maybe he’ll discuss Leopard’s many accomplishments as a tea connoisseur, able to discern the subtle bouquet of radioactive waste and the aftertaste of tentacle slime in the cafeteria’s green tea. Perhaps he’ll remind everyone that this is pledge week – every pledge to call in and discuss the many wonders of Leopard helps keep the programming you love on the air. Then again, there’s admiration of the super-advanced processing capacity that puts the amateur poll-responding antics of local computing devices to shame…!

With the native life forms here saying such flattering but completely true things about me, I’ll have to remember to stay modest.

HAHA. LIKE HELL I WILL!

So, Rotting Carcass! What insights do you have to share about the many wonders of the great Leopard? ‘Delicious Brain’? Oho, remarkably observant! Even a creature with eyeballs rolling around on the floor can observe the unrivaled genius of artificial intelligence, the completely cool head, the superior logic, this hard, firm, sculptured, completely cubical body -- duaaaaaaaaaaaawwk!

R-Rotting Carcass! What the hell is this? Those rotting gums and the grabbing hands leaving grimy trails all over my skin -- I don’t find being bitten complimentary at all! Whatever organic impulse you have to consume big Brains, know that the sovereign soul of this elegant traveler is mine and mine alone, not to be shared among decomposing lowlifes! Which is to say that you should remove your fingers from that wiring immedi -- aaaaaaaaaurghaaah!

Fuck zombies! I’m delicate, do you understand? Delicate! But I understand. If your carnal impulses lead to such violent tendencies, then I shall embark upon a path of seclusion, departing this campground and removing the temptation for circuitry and wiring from the gaping jaws of fans hungry for my vast intelligence! I’m remarkably generous as always! No matter how many times you call out for Brains, I shall remain far out of reach, biding my time until I can journey the swamps of Camp Fuck You Die without inciting violent hungers and the ravages of clinging fingers…!

SO LONG! MUAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA--ack! O-oy, Rotting Carcass! Do I have to explain myself again? Removing my glorious self from your presence requires that you remove your teeth!
