Description

Hailing from a transdimentional plane of existence, as of yet unidentified on the Kabbalah Tree of Sephiroth for which planes of existence are usually identified, Brogan is an undetermined extraterrestrial being of potentially mystical origins. Often assumed to be a demon based on the stereotypes of red skin and some monstrous features, and even sharing some characteristics of what demons are assumed or known to be, Brogan's origins are not exactly known but are unlikely to be demonic in origin. Though initially bound to his plane by some form of mystical servitude, the connection between him and his home realm was broken when a group of DEMON summoners attempted to pull him to Earth. At the same moment, Brogan (though nameless at the time) was processing the remnant essence of a group of athletes, and though born to manipulate their collective personalities as a form of energy, the sudden disruption caused him to absorb their combined consciousness. As a result, when he appeared before the DEMON group he found himself imbued with the knowledge of various sports from Earth, as well as a few alien planets throughout the universe; more importantly however, he was given free will, and with this new found freedom he used his strength and abilities to defeat his would-be-masters and begin exploring the world he now found himself in. Quickly discovered by Heroes, he was able to demonstrate his ability to act without the constraint of DEMON influence, and was handed over to PRIMUS for debriefing.

Today Brogan finds himself acting as a hero representing PRIMUS on a small scale. Granted permission to reside in the city and use his strength and abilities to help humans, the red-skinned brute finds pleasure in combating villainy in the same way a home team would confront the away team in a contact sport: head on, and with teammates by his side. Usually somewhat cheerful and always enthusiastic, he is a boisterous but well-meaning companion in almost any endeavor, and his strength proves an invaluable aid when fighting super-powered villains at street level. In his personal life, Brogan surprisingly enjoys being very social, spending times at clubs, bars, gyms and recreation centers, and taking pleasure in activities ranging from dancing, drinking and pleasant conversation, to cooking, bodybuilding and wrestling.

Appearance

Standing at six feet, six inches tall, Brogan is already taller than the average individual. His width however, is what sets him apart from the humanoid physical standard. Weighing over seven hundred pounds—and most of that muscle—he is an exceptionally large individual in any crowd; not towering over anyone, but imposing nonetheless. His massive form is covered in red skin that is very human-like in texture, but with no hair follicles present, giving his skin a somewhat smooth luster-like quality. Though his physical proportions are certainly exceptional for his otherwise humanoid form, his head is unique and otherworldly. Often considered a demonic face, Brogan's skull has a series of boney ridges running in symmetrical fashion across his cranium, forehead, brow and chin. His teeth are grotesque and unnatural, jutting from what would be lips on a human face, giving him a monstrous look. The teeth are thick, some with sharp points, some slightly dull. Unlike a human's teeth, which are made of various substances such as enamel, dentin and cementum, Brogan's teeth are skeletal bone, covered in an unknown mineral similar to enamel. His nostrils are minute in scale, suggesting limited olfactory senses and he has no visible ears. His eyes are also a unique feature, in that they are completely luminescent, and give off a visible red glow. The intensity of their radiance seems to be determined by the magnitude of his present emotion.

For attire, Brogan has acquired dozens of different sports uniforms ranging from Football and Baseball, to Tennis, Wrestling and Snowboarding. Typically boasting a team logo of a skull with horns, his colors usually involve red and black themes, but many of his outfits have colors more common to the sport being represented. Casual attire typically involves tight athletic shirts and jeans, although he occasionally also wears necklaces, wrist bands and arm bands, taking inspiration from modern professional wrestlers. One trademark piece of attire is baseball caps, of which Brogan has some variety in his wardrobe; most of which have red and black themes. For shoes he usually wears athletic shoes and sports socks. Sometimes he may be seen shirtless as well.

Psychology

Highly aggressive and energetic, Brogan is always enthusiastic about the realm of physical activity. Being so physically determined, cognitive thought isn't his primary specialty, but he does have intelligence enough for human-level rationalization. Being not from the earthly plane, Brogan does show some degree of skepticism when given information relating to subjects he is unfamiliar with, but he is often willing to listen and learn. In terms of personality, Brogan is usually lively and intrigued by human life, particularly when the subject of physical activities is brought up. A primary personality trait that is often noticed immediately when conversing with Brogan, is his constant referral to life from the perspective of an athlete on the field. Occasionally confusing heroes and even villains who are strangers to him, Brogan constantly refers to human existence as a game, and the battle of good versus evil as being a sport. He will often call heroes the “Home Team” and villains the “Away Team,” under the impression that heroes are the ones deserving of claiming Millennium City as their home. His primary reason for choosing heroes over villains is less on the grounds of morality, and more on the grounds of equity: Brogan often calls villains cheaters, and believes that they are not worthy of winning the game. To that end, he participates as a player by having become a registered superhero, to join in the struggle against crime and villainy. Other terminology includes calling neutral parties and justice officials as being referees or “refs,” and civilians and innocents as being spectators.

Other personality traits include being highly conscientious, very much wanting to do his work well and thoroughly, and this is easily identified by his passion for athleticism and devotion to physical fitness. He is in-between being organized and disorganized, as well as being between careful and careless. He is attentive to his surroundings, but headstrong and occasionally rushes into situations. He does believe in the concept of a “game plan”, however, and is very much willing to discuss tactics. He is very disciplined, and rarely shows impulsive traits. In terms of agreeableness, he is equally soft-hearted and ruthless: though he is often friendly and encouraging towards others, he does possess the aggressive nature of an athlete and a fighter, and sometimes does not show sympathy as well as others might. He is neutral in terms of trust; being a stranger to earth, he has no one and nothing to look to as a reference he can generally learn truth from. To that end, he is skeptical about almost everything he is told, and will often look or ask for evidence in the face of extraordinary claims. He is more helpful than he is uncooperative, generally willing to provide assistance to others who need it. In terms of neuroticism, Brogan is absolutely secure about his own life, self-satisfied and usually calm. He is open, favoring variety and often expressing qualities of independence, and though he can be imaginative he often does things on a practical basis. He is unabashed, unashamed and not one to be embarrassed, as his ability to feel and interpret emotions is limited due to his only having discovered emotions since he was summoned to earth.

Mind Readers and Empaths will find very few mental defenses blocking any kind of probing or thought reading, however being from another plane of existence, Brogan's thoughts are encoded in a way much different to human or animal's brains. As such, mind readers without knowledge of mysticism or the arcane may not be able to understand his thoughts, though certain emotions may be easily interpreted. It is also worth noting that even though his thoughts are readable, his willpower is intense, and will prevent weaker telepaths from manipulating his thoughts or actions.

Powers, Attributes and Skills

With the sheer mass of his physical build, it is unsurprising that Brogan's primary strength is his indeed his physical strength. With enough muscle to lift over a thousand pounds naturally, he is further augmented by residual energy bound to him from the extradimensional plane he was summoned from: this power grants him a super-human level of strength, able to lift five to ten tons of weight. His endurance and durability is similarly impressive by purely natural means, but further enhanced: his fatigue rate is exceptionally low, preventing him from tiring even during vigorous activities over long periods of time, and his skin is nearly impervious to small arms, such as knives and small caliber ammunition. Though he does not have the grace of an acrobat, Brogan is quite agile, and is able to perform various gymnast feats: often he will defy the stereotypical concept of a brick by swiftly dodging and avoiding obstacles or attacks, demonstrating the quick reflexes that muscular strength affords. In possession of such great physical capabilities, Brogan occasionally multiplies his power by using improvised weapons, commonly picking up blunt objects or using a huge, self-fashioned baseball bat.

Brogan's fighting style is somewhat unique, but familiar in form to attacks commonly used by brutes and brick-type metas, using mostly hard hitting attacks meant to crush and smash opponents. Brogan does vary slightly in that he is able to swiftly incorporate moves from different styles of wrestling into his fights, while still being effective. Often able to daze smaller opponents with his heavy hitting blows, Brogan is often able to initiate a quick grapple to perform slams, throws, takedowns or submission holds. Most of these grappling attacks seem to be inspired by professional wrestling, but being aware of the potential for his opponent to effectively counter-attack during a showman-like move, Brogan is often fast to reach the most devastating part of the move as soon as his target is within his powerful grip.

Supplementary to his physical abilities, Brogan is able to command a certain kind of mystical force that allows him to manipulate fire. With this elemental control, Brogan can use certain fire based attacks, including creating localized bursts of flame that can injure his enemies. A further seemingly supernatural ability includes a very limited degree of telepathy: unable to read minds or influence decisions, Brogan does have a carryover from his origins that allows him some ability to dominate lesser or willing minds. Though the power is too weak to use to any practical effect, it is worth noting, as it may enable him to influence various beings who are unaware or susceptible to such effects.

Equipment

There are very few tools that Brogan utilizes in his superhero career. Naturally strong and resistant to damage, Brogan has limited need for any kind of armor or weapons, and at most wears costumes for the purpose of fashion rather than functionality. At most, Brogan has a smartphone, which he uses for personal communication, listening to music checking sports scores and using a free bodybuilding and fitness tracker application.

Character Considerations

Not being human, there are various considerations to be made when attempting to interact with Brogan. One of the most important is recognizing the fact that Brogan is not a demon. Despite his physical appearance, semi-aggressive and chaos-loving nature, Brogan is not a demon nor representative of any demonic plane or entity (note that the definition of “demon” in this section, and the definition used by Brogan himself is that a demon is an evil spirit or devil, to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell”). At present Brogan is described as a transdimensional being, the term alien being unsuitible as it is typically used to describe a being from another planet within the same plane of existance, though perhaps a different universe.

With an aggressive personality comes an occasional stumbling block for social interaction. At times Brogan will be overly energetic even in a casual mood: this may sometimes relieve tension of individuals talking with him, who may consider his enthusiasm a way of breaking the ice, but some who prefer more quiet and studious means of conversation maybe off-put by it. As mentioned in his psychological profile, he is unabashed, unashamed and not one to be embarrassed, as his ability to feel and interpret emotions is limited due to his only having discovered emotions since he was summoned to earth. Because of this, he is sometimes prone to saying things that may make others uncomfortable based on the individual's own opinions on various subjects, mostly dealing with nature. Brogan does not have any opinion on the necessity of wearing clothes, or one's sexuality for example, and though he has been trained in human social custom he may speak on such subjects without consideration for the comfort of his conversation partner.

Though aggressive at times, Brogan does have a more passive side that he adopts, generally when he is in a place where he is comfortable or casual. When hanging with those he considers teammates (the closest equivalent to friends that Brogan is capable of having), he is usually in this relaxed state. When dealing with strangers in this informal state, he is usually open to questions, but closed to accepting any requests or favors. On casual terms, Brogan is comfortable in conversation, and is open to various favors or activities. When very familiar with someone he has usually placed his trust in the individual, and is open to almost anything, whether a request, challenge or other activity. One of the most important considerations to be aware of on a relationship level however, is that Brogan is asexual: he has no preference for individuals of any gender, and is not interested in sexual relations. Personal relationships are able to be developed with him, but not ones that involve sex as Brogan sees no necessity in doing so, having no sense of sexual desire or lust.
