Śoreq Qisshur (Inktober Day 16)

Śoreq Qisshur is the conjunction

Śoreq Qisshur, the conjunction part of speech in “Milhamah: Fighting Words.” He is a Holy Tongue Society spy who infiltrates the Bavel Macrostructure’s media organizations.

Based on the קשר shoresh root and its family, Qisshur has a broad spectrum of powers. He cools and congeals liquids (including his body’s) into gel or even ice. He also can manipulate the chains in his pockets and his fortified vest.

Above all, Qisshur obsesses over conspiracy theories, and his belief that all is connected gives him uncanny relationship skills. He builds an accidental harem wherever he goes. All it takes is a wink and a pickup line like: “It’s you and me against the New World Order, baby.”

But since Qisshur’s true love is exposing Bavel’s hidden masterminds, he usually plays it cool with romance.

‘Ir Risshum Townspeople (Inktober Day 15)

'Ir Risshum Townspeople

The ‘Ir Risshum Townspeople are background characters who are examples of the Bavel Macrostructure’s model citizens.

Their habits come from the עור shoresh root and family. When it comes to fashion, exposed skin and leather are trendy. The “good life” means being awake and aroused at all times. Loud music drowns out clever conversation or free thought. And some citizens even blind themselves to enhance their other sensations.

These two invaders are profaning ‘Ir Risshum, the former holy city of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). If anything inspires the Holy Tongue Society to retake the city, it’s this.

‘Anawah Tenu’ah (Inktober Day 14)

'Anawah Tenu'ah is the vowel.

‘Anawah Tenu’ah is the vowel in “Milhamah: Fighting Words.” She is a member of the ‘Ivrit Revival Movement’s Department of Phonology, and she oversees air combat operations.

Based on the נוע shoresh root and its family, Tenu’ah sends kinetic vibration shock waves at enemies. A backpack motor engine amplifies her super speed. She also wields a rattling sistrum as a weapon.

Tenu’ah is a motivational leader who makes grand gestures. She loves to join mass movements, but her desire to help others is motivated by guilt over secret past misdeeds. And while she’s always on the go, she dreams a day when she can simply hide away at home.


Demeh (Inktober Day 13)

Demeh is the dummy word.Demeh, the phantasmic virtual mime, is a minion that the Bavel Macrostructure deploys against scofflaws and tax evaders. It rolls in on a modified bogus machine, which projects a wireframe image to frighten the enemy. But while this ghost is a dummy, it’s no joke. It assimilates its targets’ data, mirrors their appearance and then silences them with mimic attacks!

The Demeh is based on the linguistic concept of a dummy word, and its powers are based on the דמי shoresh root and its broader family. Look forward to its appearance in “Milhamah” Issue #3, as well as upcoming video games!

 

Delt (Inktober Day 12)

Delt represents the letter dalet.

Delt is the door fish who is the guardian and representation of the letter dalet (ד). It’s one of the original animals who Adam named in the garden, and its job was to take him wherever he wanted to go.

Delt is based on the דלת shoresh family. When it opens the doors along its body, fish may enter a gateway portal. When they leave the portal, they mysteriously multiply into massive schools of fish as they exit.

Look forward to seeing Delt in vector form soon, as well as in the next comic update. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to making another Holy Tongue Society character for Inktober soon!
