“ | You know? Every alien invasion lost your family members and those who love you peacefully like any other doomsday scenarios. What to do is survive. | „ |
~ Billmore's post-match victory quote |
Billmore Hawkins (Japanese: ビルモア・ホーキンス, Hepburn: Birumoa Hōkinsu) is one of the main heroes in Space Monsters series of futuristic top-down shooter video games by Psonic, an independent project team. Billmore is the first core character to Psonic X Touhou and is the first character from the Space Monsters to appear in the Crossover series, and preceding Josh Celton, who also made his first appearance in the same title.
Backstory[]
Born early in Manhattan, New York, USA. Billmore Hawkins was once a peaceful American child who spends time with his respectful parents during his training program, particularly in his respective school since the days of obligation came, but he does only himself always if he wants. Also, he has many inspirational hobbies like acrobatics, gymnastics, martial arts and good military practice. Then in his adolescent times with his major course, he will be having his target practice, improving his melee combat skills and other military performances for grown-ups and better adulthood until he graduated in combat school during his college life.
After performing his time in schooling life, Billmore wanted to experience his own job when he joined U.S. military as an important member and train in preparation to become a better soldier for a long time, including the awareness of terrorism. Then he and the other U.S. troops enter the War on Terror to resist aggressors around the Middle East from spreading global terrorism, but his military skills need more improvement from the history of himself being dishonorably discharged until he retires his first-time military forces due to some difficulties if military problems persist.
Long time before the incident in 2025 alongside Josh and Sam, Billmore assigns General Baxter to join his heroic military organization called the Investigative Force, which is led by him for other investigations about what happens if the life is getting down with other incidents like alien invasion. In case of that, he immediately received an information for investigating it after doing his own training by himself.
During the Long Passage Incident, fellow operatives (Deck, Brake, Rina, Josh and Sam) are currently joined forces together with him from General Baxter's presence to combat the enormous army of extraterrestrial threats from unidentified location and their first superhuman mastermind named Roki. However, Syrax will suppose to the next turn as a replacement of Roki after its death. Later in "The Revival" era of 2026, he and the rest of his allies will investigate another dangerous case again to fight for Earth's survival.
Personality[]
Billmore is still kind and honorable to remain his important skills unforgettable by the time of respective military events. However, he appears to get close to his family and friends, whom he would give his life to defend from various dangers, such as the September 11 attacks, which are modernly caused by Al-Qaeda. He takes a great care for the lives of innocence, something that caused him to meaningfully argue with his military superiors. As an operative of Investigative Force, he has earned the trust of his mates and best friends with Josh Celton, another male member of I.F.
Appearance[]
Tier 1[]
Billmore wears a green Advanced Combat Helmet on his head, black gloves in his both hands, black Army Combat Boots, a black military belt inside, a dodger blue military combat uniform, an olive-green pistol holster on the right side of his pants, olive kneepads and gray Improved Outer Tactical Vest on his ACU jacket. He has brown hair covered by the helmet.
Tier 2[]
Billmore wears the complete American Army Combat Uniform, army gloves in his both hands and Improved Outer Tactical Vest in Universal Camouflage Pattern and brown Army Combat Boots.
Gameplay[]
Billmore's move set contains the reliance of a variety of military weapons, including, but infinite to: Pistols, Machine Rifles, Flamethrowers, Shotguns, Grenade Launchers, Frag Grenades and Rocket Launchers, making him a zoning character. His close assault lacks range but is compensated by power.
With his heavy arsenal of firearms, incendiary devices, explosives and tech-based weapons, Billmore performs very well as a versatile zoning character. His dependable machine gun can keep opponents at a distance, while the shotgun stuns them in addition to inflicting damage, leaving them vulnerable to combos. In particular, it is easy to do his Grenade Launcher Super Card (Grenade Armageddon) out of his M-16 machine gun attack as well as the Flamethrower Super Card. Billmore can throw grenades to blast brash rush-down foes off guard. His only disadvantage is lacking anti-air skills. Compared to Chris Redfield from Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, Billmore has a hard time defending against certain opponents who concentrate on overhead aerial attack. So, characters with anti-air assists like Metal Commando are highly recommended.
