Character: Barnaby ‘Bunny’ Brooks Jr.
Series: Tiger & Bunny
Character Age: 24
Job: Trainer and Advisor for Fledgling HERO prospectives.
Canon: Welcome to the city of Stern Bild, where everything can be made into a profitable business, even crime fighting. HERO TV, the most popular reality show”,” features NEXT, humans with mutations that give them superhuman (special) abilities, who fight crime on live TV. These heroes also act as human billboards, with sponsorship logos plastered all over their costumes. They accumulate points based on heroic acts and the one with the most points get crowned as the King of Heroes.
Barnaby Brooks Jr is the new up-and-comer of this season’s HERO TV and is paired with Wild Tiger as the first superhero duo team as part of a publicity stunt. Barnaby is cool and calculating, as well as being usually level-headed, a stark contrast contrast to his partner’s reckless persona. At first glance, Barnaby in public is more pleasant, cheerful and humble, grateful for fan support. He’s ambitious and goal-driven, and likes to be at the top of the leaderboard for points. His public face is different from who he really is in private; a broken, disgruntled person who constantly has nightmares of his parents’ deaths, and who is obsessed about finding a mysterious crime organization responsible for that tragedy. In short, he is Japan’s answer to Batman, except in a red and hot pink outfit. It is Tiger who eventually teaches him to open up from his isolated loner personality and trust other people, though that is a work in progress.
note: Barnaby is taken prior to the time skip of episode 14.
Sample Post:
Excuse me, the name is Barnaby Brooks Jr,. BAR-NA-BY, not Bunny-Man, and certainly not Batman, as this name tag indicates. Did Wild Tiger put you up to this? Since I already have your attention, I suppose now is a good time to introduce myself as your official Hero trainee advisor. The producers of Hero TV asked me to come here to this... exotic location of yours for a new side project. At first I declined, after all, doing so would have taken me out of the action in Stern Bild, and we all know Heroes don’t take vacations. But there comes a time where you have contractual obligations you can’t renege on, and you have to do what they want you to. In this case, it meant venturing out to the vast... rural wheat fields to come here as an instructor for you all.
I’m sure you’ve asked yourself; what makes a Hero? For some people, simply having a NEXT ability that can help you fight crime is enough. I’ve heard some of you came into your powers in very... unique ways. Now it’s not really important how you get these abilities. Whether it’s due to an accidental bite from a radioactive arachnid, being subjected to secret government experiments, or building yourself a battle suit of epic proportions, your origin is secondary to being a Hero. You truly need drive and a sense of justice to go forth and put yourself in harm’s way to protect the innocent people of your fair city. Most importantly, being a Hero requires a clear and alert mind, in addition to having a good heart.
… Sir, put your heart back in your chest, that’s not what I meant. Is... is that your ability? Being able to pull out internal organs and throwing them at your adversary would definitely cause someone to stop in surprise, but to be honest, there isn’t much you can do after. And you’d be missing a lung. It seems like you’re already suffering some side effects, though I thought you’d be more blue in the face, not green. Perhaps... we can discuss what would be the a better career option for you besides chucking livers and kidneys at people.
On that note, being a Hero seems like a daunting process now, and I can assure you that not everyone has what it takes to be successful. Few will rise to the occasion, and many will give up. But for those who do make it, you should remember one important thing. Above all, a hero should know what kind of image he wants to portray. To be the King of Heroes, one has to be likable and intriguing to the public. Initial impressions do count, and the public will always see your costume (or battlesuit) of choice first. Not only does it have to be unique to yourself, it should be able to strike fear into the heart of evil-doers and be stylishly functional with enough blank space for those corporate sponsorship logos. Without them, we really couldn’t pay for all the property damage accidentally incurred on the job. Spandex is not always the answer, especially since it’s not always flattering... though I agree that it would hold in those stomach entrails dangling out of you right now. And that lady’s arm dangling by a muscle. And that fine gentleman’s giant gaping chest wound.
Something tells me that you guys are more innocent victim material than actual Heroes, huh.
