Role: Bus is the ill-tempered psychopathic
killer of the Al Bhed resistance group. Bus' specialties
include brutally slaughtering foes, airship infiltration,
training wild MERLE, and flying while suspended on silver
wings. His only goal in life is to claim the Escaflowne
so that he may become the Wind Goddess' bitch servant
upon her birth. Secretly, Bus likes to carve small animals
out of wooden blocks, but that scene was cut out of the
movie for being boring.
Background: Bus grew up in the in
Ford Truck Kingdom of Middle Earth. The Ford Truck Clan
ruled over their people with honor and dignity. Bus had
everything that a little boy could ever want; loving parents,
a big sister brother to look up to, a small fluffy puppy,
nobility, hundreds of swords, all of the latest gaming
platforms, and his very own pokemon, MERLE.
From the age of three, Bus spent most of his time training
his MERLE, so that he may enter her into Pokemon tournaments.
It was always Bus' dream to become the world's greatest
Pokemon master. He would always announce before each Pokemon
battle, "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever
was!!"
MERLE would often add, "PIKA, PIKA! MERLE, MERLE!"
When Bus wasn't pokemon training, he was receiving swordplay
lessons from his big brother Jareth Ramrod Ford Truck.
The two spent many hours comparing sword sizes and techniques.
Afterwards the two would then talk about sex. Bus saw
something odd about his brother. While watching movies
such as Legend, Bus would stare obsessively at Mia Sara
and Annabelle Lanyon, though Jareth seemed to have his
eyes focused on Tom Cruise and even more intensively on
Tim Curry. Still, Bus had no idea as to why this was.
When Bus turned five, his homophobic father King Pickup
Ford Truck announced to the world that Bus would become
the next king. Jareth was enraged by this. He couldn't
understand how his toddler of a brother could succeed
the throne. He asked his father why. King Pickup's answer
caused Jareth to go insane, murdering his entire family,
except for Bus who was too short to be seen. The whole
Ford Truck Kingdom was then burned to the ground by Jareth.
Worst of all, he then took the life of Bus's fluffy puppy,
Moped. In front of Bus's own eyes, the puppy was brutally
slain. All Bus could do was stare in horror.
After the violence had settled, poor five-year-old Prince
Bus Ford Truck became overwhelmed with feelings of hate,
confusion and insanity. His mind warped into that of a
serial killer. But before Bus could act out on these intentions,
he found the only other survivor of the Ford Truck Kingdom,
his dear pokemon, MERLE, who had only escaped Jareth's
genocide because she was resting inside of her Pokeball.
MERLE became a sanity point for Bus. Just one that didn't
work all of the time. ...or any of it.
When Bus was 14 years old, he was caught by the Imperial
Purple Flaming Dragon Clan ground forces. Bus was strapped
to a wall for "safekeeping." The enemy's reasons
for not slaying Bus remain unknown to all but the Clan's
leader, Gay Lord Foker. Shortly after Bus's capture, the
Al Bhed resistance group got into a fight with the Flaming
Dragons and won. During their plundering of the goods,
their leader Sephiroth Sexar found poor Bus trying to
gnaw off his arms to escape his restraints.
Bus was taken in as a member of Sexar's sexy family (the
"sexy" part implies only Sephiroth himself).
MERLE joined as well. She vowed to never remain inside
her pokeball ever again so that if Bus were ever in trouble,
then she could help (though we all have the feeling she
would only make it worse). Free from her pokeball, she
remains almost literally attached to Bus' side. Within
little time, Bus began to see Sephiroth as the big sexy
brother he never had. They bonded nicely, though they
still fight over Sexar's liberal use of the Herbal Essence
shampoo.
