Bussy Cat

**Debut** | TBA

**Bussy Cat** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Daburunekko from the planet Benzarlbenz Machi.

## Appearance

Bussy Cat is a large alien that is a mix between a feline and a bus. His fur is a light yellowish-orange, with bright orange stripes. His facial features exclude eyes, but include a pink nose, whiskers, large ears, and a non-functioning mouth with four yellow teeth and a blue windshield. His sides have windows of a matching color to his windshield, and his right side features a door in the middle which opens and closes vertically. He has a black tail that is a cross with an exhaust pipe.

Bussy Cat wears two Simplicitrix symbols on his face in the form of headlights.

## Powers

* Bussy Cat is a transportation alien, capable of opening his side door and allowing for others to climb inside of him to take their places within, and being naturally gifted with enhanced speed when fully standing up, represented with the extension of his legs into much longer ones.
* Bussy Cat can similarly extend the length of his entire body, allowing for more passengers.
* Bussy Cat's innards are physically repulsive, but shockingly comfortable by a physical standpoint.
* Bussy Cat can let out clouds of exhaust to choke his opponents or allow for a quick getaway.
* Bussy Cat has enhanced senses, most notably vision, as although he doesn't have any eyes by normal standards, the Simplicitrix symbols he has for headlights functionally operate as optical organs that are highly sensitive towards light and can map out areas of pure darkness, in turn giving him night vision.
* Bussy can resist harsh weather conditions.

## Weaknesses

* Bussy Cat's teeth are useless, as they are integrated with his front window.
* Bussy Cat has no eyes, relying on his Simplicitrix headlights in order to perceive and map out the world around him. If the Simplicitrix were to be malfunctioning or stop working while still keeping him in his alien form for any reason, he would have to operate akin to Wildmutt or Grimmoire.
* Bussy Cat is non-combative in nature, although is capable of ramming into opponents if necessary.
* Bussy Cat's morbid interior can be off-putting regardless of how comfortable it may feel.
* Even with his body length extension, Bussy Cat has a limited interior.

## Etymology

* Bussy Cat's name is a play on the words "bus" and "pussy cat." Nothing else.
* Bussy Cat's species name is play on the Japanese words "daburudekkā," meaning double decker, and "neko," meaning cat.
* Bussy Cat's planet name is a corruption of Karl Benz, the man who engineered the first motorized bus, and is given the Japanese word "machi," meaning street.
