Latte Rustynail is a party member in Magical Starsign. He is an ancient machine who attends Will-o'-Wisp Academy, specializing in ancient magic.

Profile

Latte is known for his dry sense of humor, but is also a quick and logical thinker among his classmates. He is also shown to be very philosophical, questioning the nature of the world during moments of peace. Although Latte tries to act brave, he gets scared quite easily and is deathly afraid of being mechanically retooled. In Japanese, his dialogue is written in Café au Lait Font (Calfont KanaKa.png  Calfont KanaFu.png  Calfont KanaCE.png  Calfont KanaO.png  Calfont KanaRe.png  Calfont KanaFu.png  Calfont KanaCO.png  Calfont KanaN.png  Calfont KanaTo.png), and only uses the Katakana script.

He is mainly composed of a brown metal and has many screws around his body. There are exactly six small ones and two large ones on his chest, and five on his head. He also has quite a few sectioned parts where joints are, like on his legs and feet. He has three fingers on each hand, each composed of three silver joints, and are attached to a grey metal socket on each palm. Latte has one singular orange eye that rests on his bucket-shaped head. On his head are three brass funnels, and he carries two tanks on his back. Beneath his head, he has a mouth-like hatch containing a digestive apparatus. Yellow markings glow on his body when casting magic.

Gameplay

Latte joins the party at Ricebird Fields after being saved from Tour de la Roche, starting at level 12 and ancient magic level 9. He uses the ancient spirit, which is strong against the fire spirit, but weak to the thunder spirit and dark spirit. His magic is highly versatile, covering multiple ranges and reducing enemies' agility. As for stats, Latte has incredibly high HP and defense, but lacks in MP%, spirit, and agility.

Biography

Early life

Latte was created over twelve thousand years ago[1] by a powerful ancient civilization, equipped with a prototype AI program titled Ribbit Ribbit β (Beta). This program was the successor to Ribbit Ribbit α (Alpha), designed to give its robots complex emotions such as nihilism and coolness. At first, development on Beta was handled by five people, but half way through, more technicians were called over as the negligent Alpha robots grew increasingly out of control. The technicians hastily worked on the Beta program using human wave tactics, and as a result, they failed to implement complex personality traits. The Alpha robots eventually went haywire and annihilated the ancient civilization, while Ribbit Ribbit β was declared an unreleased phantom AI.

Twenty years before Magical Vacation, while digging in Opopmat Cave in the Dark Realm, Bruschetta and his team of dwarves excavated Latte from the underground temple Garam Masala.[2] The dwarves went bankrupt shortly after, paying off their debt by selling Latte and their digging machinery to a curiosity shop. Principal Biscotti discovered Latte, and upon noticing that he had Ribbit Ribbit β installed, he erupted into a dance and purchased him for 200 bira.[3] Latte was then enrolled in Will-o'-Wisp Academy, where Biscotti taught him how to use ancient magic.

Rocket Latte blasting off

Sesame became an ancient technology researcher when he grew up, running Latte under several modifications and experiments. Latte's final modification was a rocket, in which he was launched into outer space from Valencia Beach and never heard from again.

Other appearances

Café au Lait Fight

Main article: Café au Lait Fight
A screenshot of Café au Lait Fight

In 2006, Latte starred in a Flash game called Café au Lait Fight on the Brownie Brown website, br2.co.jp. It was a shooting game where Latte/Café au Lait was guided by the player's cursor. To defeat enemies, he used ancient magic that could be buffed by summoning spirits. However, because of his limited HP and MP, the player needed to direct him towards special healing characters periodically. After the discontinuation of Flash and br2.co.jp, very little footage of this game was archived.

Trivia

  • His favorite food is broiled eel.
  • His body is made of an ultra-lightweight metal called karuikane (カルイカネ karuikane). This comes from 軽い金 karui kane, which literally means "lightweight metal."

Nomenclature

His comes from latte, meaning "coffee with milk."

From there, it was hastily designed through human wave tactics, and thus, the original concepts of "nihil" and "cool" were not implemented. The ancient civilization collapsed when Ribbit Ribbit α went haywire, and Ribbit Ribbit β was dubbed a phantom AI that never made its way to the world. It is said that Grand Dragée discovered Café au Lait in an antique shop, equipped with Ribbit Ribbit β, and could not help but do a little dance. Café au Lait burst into tears at the sight of Grand Dragée's dancing." [1]. Archived: [2]. Retrieved August 15, 2024. Nintendo.co.jp.
