Bridget is a character in the Guilty Gear fighting game series. Guilty Gear is subtitled, The Missing Link, and is developed by ArcSystem Works. It was first released in 1998 for the PlayStation and is a popular game amongst all age groups. It currently has newly released versions of the video games, CDS, and novels that explain the history of the characters and the story line.

Even though Bridget has a female name and image, Bridget is actually a male. According to the storyline, he was a twin. Both the twins were males and they lived in a village where it was considered bad luck to birth twins of the same gender. For this reason, his family gave him a female name and raised him as a girl. As Bridget became older, he decided that he would become a bounty hunter in order to prove his strength and masculinity while redefining himself. In the story, I-No gives him a false list of bounties and he fights against several of the other fighters. He ends up fighting with a yo-yo and a mechanical teddy bear.

Later in Guilty Gear XX, he catches bounties Dizzy and May and feels at this time that he has finally proven his manhood. He then leaves bounty hunting altogether and makes friends with Jellyfish Pirates and May. After leaving bounty hunting, he decides to pursue a career as an entertaining and unsuccessfully attempts to recruit Venom and I-No. In the end, he returns to his native village where he finds that his brother is missing and something has happened to his mother and father. The story line ends with Bridget setting out on a new mission to find his brother. There is an alternate ending in the Jam Story Mode where he finishes the game as a waiter in a restaurant.

When Guilty Gear made its debut on PlayStation in 1998, the game featured ten playable characters and three non-playable characters. Now the game series includes over forty playable characters and over twenty non-playable characters. Playable characters not mentioned in the previous post include: A.B.A., Anji Mito, Ansect, Axl Low, Bridget, Dizzy, Dr. Paradigm, Eddie, Fanny, Gig, Goose, I-No, Izuna, Johnny, Judgment, Jam Kuradoberi, Leopaldon, Order-Sol, Ra-Ki, Robo-Ky, Robo-Ky Mk. II, S-Lord, S-Watt, Sin, Slayer, Valentine, Venom, Zako-dan, and Zappa. Some of the characters are clearly based on rock music references from the last half of the last century, including Axl Rose from Guns’n'Roses and Eddie the Head, the mascot of Iron Maiden.

The growing cast of characters makes the Guilty Gear game series more complex and challenging. Axl Low is a time traveler from the 20th century, one of the orignal Guilty Gear game characters. Throughout his travels across time and his battles against, and alliances with, other characters, Axl’s lifelong goal is to return to his own time to be reunited with Megumi, his girlfriend. A.B.A first appeared in Guilty Gear Isuka, as an artificial life form created by a scientist who is taken away before he can help her to understand her real purpose for being. She has to learn about life and its purpose on her own and has a fascination with collecting keys, since they represent to her some kind of magical portals to other places. Anji Moto, kept imprisoned by the government to protect his pure Japanese blood line, first appeared in Guilty Gear X. Ansect is an insect-like creature who first appears in Guilty Gear Judgment. More descriptions of characters will follow in the coming posts.
