Bryan (ブライアン, Buraian) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.
Background[edit | edit source]
Bryan is a resident of New York City actively pursuing fitness and strength training procedures to become one of the city's strongest and most compelling fighters, giving him his signature athletic and muscular build. The road there, however, was not an easy one for Bryan, as his family suffered finically- despite having enough money to get through life, there was little left to spare for Bryan to use towards anything he wanted. Throughout middle school, Bryan saved up and got himself some inexpensive but professional-quality fitness equipment and went on long walks and jogs around the city's suburban areas. Bryan's friends questioned if Bryan should be doing bodybuilding this early, but he ignored the comments and continued, steadily increasing his muscle mass year after year while making sure not to overdo it in the end.
By adulthood, Bryan had reached his preferred body shape but also begun to develop a secondary hobby: video games, specifically competitive tournament-based one-on-one fighting games. Working in a few nights a week when he wasn't busy, Bryan played a variety of fighting games- including streaming them to an online streaming site. He leaned towards the simpler and easier to use characters (typically, the main character in each respective game)- pulling off decent plays with them as a small crowd of viewers watched on, few comparing Bryan's physique to the characters he played as in the games. This comment in particular went to Bryan's head, and he slowly began to train to fight in a style similar to them, but without the use of any mystical powers; just pure guts and strength.
Bryan slowly perfected his fighting style, throwing fast and swift punches and kicks. Seeing himself fit for the challenge, he begun entering small fighting tournaments in the city with a goal of making a name for himself and challenging some new faces. He fought with the best of intents in his "modern-urban fighting gear" only to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of combatants using weapons and/or magic and powers to win. While Bryan puts up a fight and typically advances far in tournaments, he does not take home the gold very often due to striking at the wrong time and getting too reckless. Today, Bryan continues to play fighting games and train in the comfort of his personal gym, hoping his tournament presence and performance can improve.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Even with his tough appearance, Bryan is overly friendly, if a bit too boastful of his physique. He enjoys working out and doing other daily activities and routines at his own pace with little to no outside influence. As he isn't very social outside of appearances at events, Bryan doesn't have many friends he can fall back on- holding tightly onto the ones he does have. Bryan speaks in a strong but cocky tone, ramping up the attitude at events to make himself seem even more stronger- commenting on his opponent(s) in the process. When the time comes to fight, he stays silent and on guard.
Bryan never backs out of an offer to fight provided he has the strength, as long as he and his opponents are on equal footing. Bryan also has a soft spot for children, smiling joyfully at the small batch that cheer him on at and after fighting events.
Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]
Bryan, while not one of the largest and bulkiest men to exist, is very powerful. He has a large build with a great amount of muscle mass for his size and optimal dexterity. Even with these strengths, Bryan’s overall top running speed, despite being good thanks to the power of his legs, is only average at best and he cannot perform certain hardcore acrobatic feats and parkour stunts as easily as others.
Bryan’s basic attacks include traditional punches and kicks, an uppercut (sometimes accompanied with a jump upwards), a swinging fist that spins several times around himself, building up speed before colliding with its target, and a variety of suplex techniques inspired by professional wrestling.
