Votoms: Dazzling Funeral Procession Character and Mech Introductions

Character Intros:

Bojil Don Haliburton "Fillow"

A former soldier of the Gilgamesh Allied Forces, Bojil currently wanders from battlefield to battlefield as a freelance mercenary and Votoms pilot. "Fillow" is his nickname.

Vilje Yang Waulter "Whitey"

The youth who is a soldier of the Avolga Kingdom and is CO of the 3rd Guard Company. Vilje is the scion of a military family who has held important positions in the military for generations.

Clementine Christie

A singer who works exclusively for a casino bar (named DICKS BAR) in the Avolga Kingdom's capital city, Tranehole (pronounced tran eh hole). She takes to the stage every night with a triplet of songs about "Love" "One's Home Town" and "Fate". 

Mech Intros:

P ・ ATH-Q01-DT "White Honor" (CO Unit)

CO unit of the Avolga Kingdom's Imperial Guard Battalion 3rd Guard Company, aka the "Shield of the Blue Sky". Currently piloted by "Whitey" or Imperial Army First Lieutenant Vilje Yang Waulter. It is a Quent made AT, but is of a different class than the "Berserga". The equipped pile bunker is capable of being removed and equipped onto the machine's exclusive long rifle.  

ATM-09-DTC Blood Setter

The AT given to the mercenary "Fillow" or Bojil Don Haliburton along with the request to conduct application tests on its AT use universal equipment (I am assuming it means universal as in all terrain, but I could be wrong). Using the ATM-09-ST Scopedog as its base, it is customized to have improved augmentability in order to be able to conduct the equipment tests in all sorts of environments. "Blood Setter" is only the name given to it by its pilot, Fillow, and its official designation is the "ATM-09-DTC Scopedog Custom". In order to cope with the fluctuations in weight and unit balance caused by various equipment, the Blood Setter is fitted with a "Type 72" frame, which is famed for its rigidity, even among Scopedogs. 

Youjo Senki News and New Announcement

Youjo Senki is taking a lot longer to actually translate than I first thought, esp since I've rather cooled off on it. That being said, it is still being done and also I have asked an unnamed editor to proofread things for quality, although that will make it take longer.

On the other side of things, I still want to put out something so I am starting to TL the new Votoms novel "Armored Trooper Votoms: Dazzling Funeral Procession!" I will be doing all the chapters as they come out on the website, which can be found here: Yatate Bunko Votoms

I will be starting work on this as soon as I can (at latest, monday) so look forward to a release before the end of the week! (probably by wednesday, as the chapter seems shortish)
