Characters

Sergei, the Ninja

A drunkard and an atomic engineer who loves to sleep while at work. He is responsible for a nuclear disaster which he miraculously survived and became an atomic ninja. He is looking for the last rehabilitation center to cure himself. Personal quote: "The shovel is mightier than the sword!"

Very Last Samurai

The position of the Last Samurai goes from father to son in his family. He has no successors. Personal quote: "Honor. Respect. Karaoke."

Masked Ninja

He hides his face because it is ugly. He killed his tutor who asked him if he is hiding his face to protect himself from fear in his soul or to scare his enemies. No personal quote.

Rogue Ninja

He never became a master even though he is great at combat and invisible as a ghost. He always failed in the tea ceremony. It fueled him with rage. He kills every ninja master he meets. Personal quote: "Would you like some tea?"

Old Monk

He is old, wise, compassionate and gentle but has problems with prostate and ungrateful grandchildren. Personal quote: "I had something important to tell you, but I forgot what it was!"

Psycho Ninja

The end of the world made him more resilient, tougher, stronger and willing to live. On the other hand, it made him a blood-lusting, giggling, deranged maniac. Personal quote: "Can we cuddle afterwards?"

Zombie

He became an ugly monster. His muscles became a jelly and his skin started to rot. His only interest are brains. Personal quote: "Brains! Braaaaaains. Brrrrains? BRAINSSS!"
