Bullet Custom Heroine - Vic Viper/Gofer Twins

Can you believe that this is the only fan heroine that's actually shmup-related?

Note: not scripted. This is intended to be added to either of these Workshop Bullet uploads.

This is a custom character originally made by LaQued in the Bullet community Discord a few years ago, and is a riff on Senka with high risk, high return as the focus. You have 1 life and 1 Viper that acts like a colorless, numberless bullet. The Heroine is from Otomedius, which in turn is based on Gradius. The edited version in the Discord uses low-resolution images and has some machine translation errors (and is OP as hell thanks to the old Star Action), so this version is an HD remake with rule translation corrections and s bit of rebalancing (thanks to Marco for balance input). I've also included an art variant for the Boss (there is surprisingly almost no art of the Gofer Twins).

You can add Options to your board which act like the Viper. Viper and Options are effectively Crosshairs for patterns.

The main movement option is spending 2 AP to move the Viper, then moving an Option to the newly unoccupied space. If you're about to be hit by a Bullet, clear your Options to clear the Bullet.

This is not scripted, but there are a couple very minor QoL scripts included:
- Button that draws a bullet from the Center and puts it in the Red Current (you'll have to draw it yourself to put on the board)
- Deck draw/discard/reshuffle button
- Counting bowl

The Forest Witch is included as practice.

The variant art is by すごい火, the Cores are from the Yu-gi-oh cards, and the rest of the art is by Yoshizaki Mine.

Balancing suggestions, corrections, etc. welcome.

Be sure to check out this other collection of custom characters from the Discord, of which has been updated with this heroine.
