Alpha

"''I...I don't want to go..." ―Alpha, struck by an explosion during Mission 2

Alpha is a character in Starbuster.

Technical

 * Alpha was the first playable character added to the demo, later being joined by Cassie.
 * Its two forms of weapons include a gun and a yellow energy sword.
 * Alpha's gun can be fired either instantly (as fast as the binded key can be pressed), or can be charged up for 4 seconds to release a strong charged shot. The base damage of the bullets are quite weak, but the charged shots do more damage than the sword.
 * Alpha's sword does a high amount of damage, but cannot be charged and can only be swung twice a second.
 * When dashing (with sprint), Alpha moves at a tremendous speed, dubbed by the SAGE demo description of the game as "not quite the speed of sound".
