Bio
I-No is a cryptic woman who, in Guilty Gear XX, claims to serve "That Man" who created the biological weapons called Gears. She seeks to eliminate obstructions to That Man's designs. Seeing the other characters as such obstructions, she deceives them and turns them against each other. She is a talented electric guitarist, and she uses her electric guitar as a weapon.
At any given time, I-No is either flagrantly voluptuous or mercilessly aggressive. In the former, she speaks in a sultry tone and dresses in a provocative outfit. In the latter, she is an admitted sadist and laughs at others' suffering.
In battle, I-No capitalizes on aerial attacks. Many of her special techniques begin in the air, and she rises off of the ground when dashing. She is the final boss of the Guilty Gear XX arcade mode.
