The joke here is that its a Datafighter inspired by the Utauloid known as Kasane Teto. She was originally created as an April Fools Day joke but people liked her so much that she was given a voice bank via Utau. She is beloved by the Vocaloid/Utauloid community, with her popularity succeeding her initial introduction as a simple joke. Its also a double joke cuz there is no way that this could be an actual Datafighter

A sugar beet Datafighter that has a battered up physique, sporting scrawny root-like legs. Its fists are up in an uppercut pose

Beatroot [Flora-type, Botanical-order]
- It produces a "sweat" that coats its opponents in red stains. This sweat is used in dyes. They root themselves into the ground before springing out of it to fight foes they deem as worthy

Some misc Datafighter designs while trying to think of some good Amorphous-order Datafighter concepts

Can't decide if all 4 of these arm-based Datafighters should be separate, or coming off of the same body. It really depends on how hard they are to animate

Mono Neutral-types don't have Weaknesses or Resistances, they are the true Neutral. Neutral-type attacks also don't hit any Datafighters for their Weakness or Resistances, making them a pretty good coverage option on most Datafighters that want to hit hard

Datafighters with both the Neutral-type and another Type only have 1 Weakness and Resistance. I'm thinking about adding some sort of held item that can make a partial Neutral-type into just a Mono Neutral-type, removing that Datafighter's Weakness and Resistance

Mono-typed Datafighters that aren't Neutral-type have 2 Weaknesses and Resistances. As you can see here when a Datafighter evolves, sometimes their Weaknesses/Resistances change, either for biology or balancing reasons

Dual-typed Datafighters that aren't part Neutral-type have 3 Weaknesses and Resistances. The Weaknesses/Resistances are going to be distributed mostly for balancing reasoning, but I still want to try to give them a fair reasoning for why that type is strong against/resisted. For Farmire, its Weaknesses are things that could damage/pollute the soil in crops, while its Resists are things that help plants grow

For my Mon-Tamer, Datafighters, I want to go with an SMT/Persona-styled Weakness/Resist system. I feel like it would make each Datafighter more unique from each other

Rusnake -> Lucifern [Toxic/Flora-type, Beast-order] -This rotund Datafighter evolved to mimic the shape of fruit in hopes of fooling smaller prey into coming close before attempting to swallow it whole. This trick often doesn't work due to its unappetizing appearance. -Lucifern's dramatic shift in hunting style proves to be fruitful for most prey, using its bright colors to paralyze its prey, but this leaves it an easy target for stronger Datafighters. Its image is used as a symbol of anarchy and rebellion due to its appearance and behavior

Old design of Klawkenload from 2024

Klawkenload [Hydro/Pyro-type, Arthropod-order] -It stores water within its body so it can be on land for extended periods of time. Its temperament always gets the better of it however, it can easily raise its blood pressure to where its blood literally boils, and this causes the stored water to boil as well. This makes it the water it fires dangerous to be around since it pretty much cooks its prey instantly in some cases. When it is angry it can't think straight, so it often misses its shots when on land

Another redesign done with the critiques given from the design survey! Klawkenload is now updated to be more colorful and much more "boiled" looking. More information in the alt text below

Vantenna [Earth/Dark-type, Arthropod-order] -Its emo fringe is actually just a part of its proboscis, draining the nutrients from withering flowers -It has developed pseudo photosynthesis due to its slothful nature, using its wings to absorb light to give it enough energy to move around

Introducing the redesign for Vantenna! Due to the critiques given on the 2nd survey, Vantenna has a readable and solid design. More information about it in the alt text below

Nirvana Corp is the antagonist group you will face throughout Datafighters, a mega corporation who has founded by Kore. They have brought Outset Province together under the Newtropolis Project, the once divided province is now connected through Nirvana Corp. As the years have gone by, they have gained more influence, but they seem to be encroaching into territories that border on authoritarian. Those who don't comply with Nirvana Corp's wishes are thrown out of her vision of a perfect world

The antagonist for Datafighters, Kore. She is the CEO of a mega-corporation known as Nirvana Corp (Refer to the ALT text for more information)
