Character Information:
Character's Name: Brandon Prometheus Haggardy
Character Race: Human
Gender: Male
Hair Color/Style: Short, sandy brown
Eye Color: brown
Age: 23
Height: 5’ 11”
Weight: 178 lbs
Aura Color: none
Attire: Having arrived without any sort of preparations in mind, the only thing he has to wear is his brown flannel shirt, a white under-tee, his brown trench coat, jeans, hiking boots, and fingerless black gloves of heavy wool. Otherwise, anything else he wears was purchased while on Dragonia.
Other Physical Features:
Brandon doesn’t believe himself to be, but he is a rather charming young man. His face isn’t narrow, but neither is it round and boyish. He seems to have found an interesting middle ground that isn’t all-together average, but is instead somewhat handsome. His nose has been described “cute,” a tad small for his face, but not gratuitously so. His facial features overall are softly rounded, lending him a friendly look that stays clear of the realm of a patsy.
Not one to care much about his personal appearance, he does make sure to keep himself clean-shaven with the exception of a goatee he's been cultivating since freshman year in high school. He also has a scar that interrupts his left eyebrow, near the inner end.

Class III:
Psionic Energy Converter: The entirety of Brandon’s powers is based from this singular power. Using certain sub-conscious regions of his brain, he is able to psychically convert the energy inherent in the physics of the universe from one form to another. For example, he is able to convert a falling object’s kinetic energy into potential energy, and back into kinetic again, only this time in a different direction. By doing this in small doses, it also gives the appearance that he can “manipulate” the energy as one might an element.
Potential Detonation: Essentially, Brandon converts any and all stored potential energy within an object, be it chemical or nuclear, instantly into a chaotic burst of Motion, Sound, Heat, Light energy, or any equal combination of the three. To achieve an explosion equal to that of a flash-bang grenade, the object must be no smaller or larger than twice the size of a grain of sand.
Gravity Well: When the mood gets too heavy to handle, Brandon is capable of transforming the accumulated kinetic energy within a twenty-foot radius to triple the gravitational pull of the planet in a five-foot diameter. This requires great initial concentration, but he can make his getaway due to its self-sustainment of five seconds.
Velotic Burst: Sometimes speed is key for survival, so when he must, Brandon may, in the course of a split second, convert all gravitational potential energy acting upon an item into directional Motion energy. This is usually used on objects other than his own body, as the sudden change of momentum causes his connective and soft tissues to break down. Painfully.
Momentous Sypher: If an object is coming at him insanely fast, he knows instinctively that either he needs to move out of its way, or get it to stop. Fortunately, by essentially running his Velotic Burst in reverse, he can greatly slow an object’s movement by dissipating its Motion energy as Heat, Sound, or Gravitational potential. Any object the size of a bowling ball or smaller will come to a stop after twenty feet, anything larger after a distance proportional to its weight.
Hyper-thermal Shock: Not to be confused with Pyrokinesis, whenever Brandon is either moving or falling, he can instantly convert that energy into a sudden burst of Heat energy. Usually, he will do this to either create a distraction of some kind, create a flame for a campfire, but if he really needs to he can use it as a form of attack, blasting a large amount of Heat energy at a general area.
Gyro-Blast Electrastorm: This is definitely Brandon’s riskiest move. In his travels, he has come to believe that the most pervasive form of energy is that of Electricity, the energy between opposite charges that draw them together. By sacrificing the Heat and Chemical energy of his own body, he can build up a positive charge along any part of his body, and a negative charge anywhere within a ten-foot radius. As soon as the positive charge has an opposite, the burst of electricity will be comparable to twenty lightning strikes. Unless he is really careful, it is possible for his body to go into shock or hypothermia, or even both.

Personality:
According to Brandon, his strongest point is definitely his sense of fairness, and quick wit. He’s always forced himself to listen to both sides of every argument, and to make sure that if anything he might have done was wrong, then he will swallow his pride and apologize. By his own admission, he has no shame, and if the situation dictates he must do something, then he will do so without looking back.
If he had to pick a characteristic, his weakness is definitely his inability to pick up on social faux paus. He will usually say the wrong thing if asked for his opinion on problems of the heart, but he hopes that everyone knows he only has the best intentions at heart.
When it comes to fights: he’d really rather not. His physical prowess leaves something to be desired, his mental capacities are fit enough for book learning and the occasional quick-witted smart-assery, but he’s really not a fighter. Sometimes, when he either needs to defend himself, is surprised with danger, or faces a difficult moral dilemma, he will use his powers to aid his decision, but usually not for much else.
Favourite song: With You (Reanimation), Linkin Park
Origins:
Brandon is a human, in every sense of the word. Fallible, gullible, and from the planet Earth with only slightly above-average intelligence and a few friends. Born in San Francisco, he spent the better part of his youth with his mother in the parks nearby, his father making enough to afford their three-bedroom apartment. Young Master Haggardy never really wanted for companionship, always having his mother’s affection and the few friends who could tolerate his unique way of looking at things, but neither was he ever really friendly or popular amongst others his own age. In all honesty, he’d always have a more enjoyable time playing his video games with the tenants who rented out the spare room, mostly college students who always seemed to beat him.
It wasn’t until the middle of Grade School that the first manifestations of his unique powers began to arrive. On hot summer days, he would seem to run faster than all the other kids and require less hydration, and his athletic ability as a whole seemed to sharpen. No one really seemed to notice anything beyond that, and neither did he for the longest time. When he reached high school, his first class in the morning as a Freshman was Advanced Placement Physics, and it was his favorite class out of any of the others. The fact that everything was interconnected in some unseen, mechanical way was absolutely fascinating, and he wanted to learn everything he possibly could; thermodynamics, light waves, resonance, the bending of light through lenses, everything.
Right on through to college and beyond, he majored in Thermodynamics, minored in General Physics, was already an intern at an Engineering firm, and had high hopes for his life. One night after a small party for a friend, his mind felt clear as crystal as he went to bed. Going right to sleep, his dreams were fevered, and in a sudden flash of unconscious inspiration, the Universe made sense to him, he could see the invisible bonds that connected everything.
Then he woke up on Dragonia, wearing clothes he’s never seen before.
Alliance:
Neutral, but sides with whomever appeals to his sense of humour and moral fibre.
Death Count: 0
