Character Profile #5 - Brandon Hakuryu

Name: Brandon Hakuryu

Age: 27

Height: 185 cm

Weight: 67 kg

Family: Hakuryu

Siblings: Michael Hakuryu (twin brother)

Relationship status: Dating   Aurora Maestro

Personal Description: Pretty much the same as Michael (they're twin remember?).Tall, black hair, almost resembling dark blue. A bit messily spiked in an undeniably attractive way. Skin mildly tanned. Eyes also a dark blue in colour. Diamond-shaped face. Defined jaw but not too strong. Broad shoulders. Not overly buff but has a well-toned body. 

However, his choice of clothing is different. He wears a red, turtleneck, woollen, sleeveless shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes, similar to Michael's. To top it off, he wears a black overcoat that reaches to his knees. It's pretty fitting even though he usually leaves it open. Admittedly, it's a more modern choice of clothing than Michael's but Michael's is more epic, no?

Beast form: Dragon

Element Preference: Earth

Abilities brought to Earth: Earth and Wind Manipulation

Signature Move: Wings of Darkness

Description of SM: As Michael is the Dragon of Light, and his Level 2 and Level 3 SMs reflect that quality, Brandon's SMs all reflect his attributes as the Dragon of Darkness. The Wings of Darkness are pretty much a manifestation of his dark power. They are mainly used as a shield to defend him and others from pretty strong attacks. When sharpened into blades, they are also pretty useful as weapons. Legend has it that if the Dragon of Darkness unleashes its full power, it can use its Wings of Darkness to plunge the whole of Leandasia into darkness. Michael, being Brandon's twin and knowing the full extent of his power, believes that Brandon is capable of unleashing this power.

Special Abilities: Hakukage Sharingan

Description of SA: Refer to Michael's CP.

Life Story: 

                    Brandon's childhood was pretty much the same as Michael's. He was just as good and powerful as Michael, with his own unique qualities too. However, because Michael was older than him by a few minutes, Michael was the one chosen to be the successor of his father as the Ruler of Dragons and the possessor of the Draconus Accio. 

                    Naturally, the usual tale of being left out and always getting the second banana ensued. Brandon didn't mind at first but he was still a kid and it soon got on his nerves. After their parents died, Brandon blamed Michael for their death, saying that Michael should have been stronger to protect the family, but Michael was still only 14, just like him. Things were a bit rough for a while, but they didn't get any better.

                   A short while later, overrun with grief, Brandon lost control and the Dragon of Darkness, and the evil that the power unfortunately came with, took over him. He ran away and had caused much trouble for the people of Leandasia who had grown to fear him. Michael hadn't known about his identity. He thought that his brother was dead, and the Dragon of Darkness had been unleashed upon his death.

                  Michael, seeing as how the Dragon was technically a member of his family AND his responsibility as the current Dragon King, set off to capture him and/or take him out. However, after sealing the Dragon, he realised that his brother had been alive all along and had been controlled by it. He was glad to have his brother back, but their reunion was  not exactly a joyful one.

                 Brandon had come to terms with his parents' death, and he no longer believed that Michael was in any way accountable, but he also felt ashamed that he had let the Dragon take over, and he felt that he may never be able to undo the damage he did, the lives he destroyed and the destruction he had cause by abusing his power. He had become so depressed that the Dragon had almost been unleashed again. Michael was worried for his brother, and the general well-being of the Leandasians, so he tried his best to console him, to help him and to keep him sane.

                It wasn't really helping, so Michael decided to ask him to help find the members of the Assembly of Lune who had been scattered due to the various mishaps in their pasts.It was during one of these trips that Brandon met Aurora. From their first meeting, Michael knew that this be Brandon's chance to break free, that Aurora would be the one thing that might help him break from the despair. As luck would have it, Aurora WAS a member of the Assembly of Lune and she was willing to join them in the Hakuryu Mansion.

               Aurora and Brandon grew closer and eventually started dating. In fact, their pretty much married but, just to keep the flame alive, they don't want to go that far yet. So, with Aurora and Michael's help, Brandon forgave himself, and is now working his level best to help Michael keep both Leandasia and Earth safe. He's still as powerful and Michael and the two are still battling each other to see who will win. He's training as hard as he can and enjoying most of his free time with his girlfriend. All in all, compared to the way his life started out, it's now pretty good.
