mrfastandsteady[ Player Name ] : Aspen
[ Personal DW ] :radio_aspen
[ Age ] : 22
[ Timezone ] : Eastern
[ Other Characters ] : Tech E. Coyote |dotthedisconnect
[ Character's Name ] : Brooklyn
[ Character's Age ] : 36 (developmentally 18 in human terms) or 1036, depending on how you look at it.
[ Series ] : Gargoyles
[ Canon Point ] : Shortly following Brooklyn’s promotion to second-in-command of the Manhattan Clan (episode 31)
[ History ] :
Here.
[ Personality ] :
Due to his (relative) youth and extended isolation from society, Brooklyn is terribly curious. He is interested in every aspect of the modern world, from culture to books to history, and even entertainment. He was gullible after first awakening, but this has lessened to some extent.
These traits stem more from his predicament as an outsider thrown into the modern world. As far as his actual personality, Brooklyn is caught in an interesting place between youth and adulthood. He can be impetuous, maybe a little cocky, and he makes mistakes, but he’s the most level-headed of the gargoyles he hatched with. He wants to prove himself as a capable individual, but he’s not above having a good time while doing it. Furthermore, At least some of his interest in the modern world comes from his belief in the need for his kind to adapt. Whatever his feelings for the “old ways,” he’s willing to put them aside when they seem counter productive.
In most cases, Brooklyn is the type to think before acting. He’s intelligent, he tries to be well-learned, and he has a natural penchant for strategy. Often, he acts as the voice of reason. The other side of this is that he can come across as detached, and not condescending so much as sardonic. Which is not to say that he isn’t friendly, but he has his moments. That, combined with a dry and sarcastic sense of humor.
This composure of his is far from perfect, however. If something manages to set him off, Brooklyn will throw caution (and any active plan) to the wind. He is aware of this problem, and it’s not something he’s proud of. In fact, he’s been known to empathetically speak against the trait when he sees it in others. Thankfully, it takes a lot to get under Brooklyn’s skin. He is somewhat sensitive about his appearance, but such jabs are more of an annoyance than something that enrages him.
Like most gargoyles, Brooklyn has a very protective nature. He values friends and family above most everything else, and he’s not too ashamed to admit it. His assistance isn’t limited just to these groups. Forbidding a strong reason not to do so, he will help anyone in need.
Also inherent to the gargoyle race is a proud warrior nature. Brooklyn is no stranger to combat, and militant discipline (when it’s needed). While he’s not fond of killing, it’s not something he would necessarily lose sleep over.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Gargoyles possess a number of natural weapons. Being nocturnal creatures, it comes as no surprise that they have excellent night vision. Their eyes are also capable of producing a bright glow. They have tougher skin and are typically much stronger than humans, although Brooklyn would be considered average for a gargoyle in this area. Their wings are not intended for flight, but they can glide very effectively, and are quite maneuverable in the air (and on foot, for that matter). They do not have fingers so much as claws or talons, and these are powerful enough to penetrate stone and some metals. Lastly, their tails function essentially as a fifth limb, being both powerful and tractable.
Brooklyn is a trained warrior. He understands combat and has been involved in more than his share. He is also a gifted tactician, a trait related to both his perceptiveness and ability to improvise.
Turning to stone during the day (referred to as sleeping) is as much a benefit as it is a curse, as it allows gargoyles to gather the amount of energy they need to survive (supplemented by the usual means; food, etc), as well as heal most injuries. However, they are completely helpless and vulnerable during the process.
Aside from that, Brooklyn’s biggest weakness is his own impulsiveness. It’s not exactly standard behavior, but certain things will trigger it, including but not limited to: anger, curiosity, and yes, even passion.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Within the bubble, the influence of sunlight will not be strong enough to trigger Brooklyn’s transformation, meaning he can be active at all hours. However, he will need to return to the island to rest during the day on a somewhat regular basis.
