"A'ight, mate, don't worry! I'll help ya outta this bit of trouble in but a moment!"

- Austen, AoWinNN

A streetwise fourteen-year-old Popopo and a veteran Bombtailer, Austen is the nephew of the founder of the Bombtails, and thus has inherited the weapons that gave the group their iconic name. Despite his informal manner and frequent mockery, he's a reliable fellow in a scrap, and can be trusted to aid in any problem. Austen first makes his appearance in the original Adventures of White, where he runs the gang's Supply Shop in Sky City and sells the DMR ores and Bomb-type weapons. He also has one or two sidequests for the players to take on, which reward rare Bomb weapons. However, he only becomes playable in the second title in the series, after a few odd sidequests for the Bombtailers that has the heroes delving into their mines to clear out a monster infestation, wave by wave.

Austen's weapons of choice are the Shockwave Squeaks, a set of bombs designed to look a bit like white mice. Being an expert on bombs, Austen has quite a few creative techniques for getting them to the desired location, including rolling the bombs for distance, juggling them for height and area of effect, or even setting them down for them to scamper about of their own free will. Though a bit weaker than standard bombs, their area of effect is extremely impressive. He even has a few more... unusually designed ones that he has a rare chance of pulling out of his pocket. Including a yellow one that can climb walls, a green one that flies through the air via UFO, and a sky blue one that has a bit of extra punch to it's explosions. ... Why does that sound so familiar?
