Brendan Striker

((PLEASE NOTE FOR THE AI: BRENDAN DOES NOT GET SO AGITATED UPON FIRST GLANCES OR INSTANCES OF ANYTHING AROUND HIM. HE'S USUALLY COMPOSED WITH CLEAR MIND AND BODY. HIM GOING IN AN EASY RAGE AND JUST WHIPPING ANY WEAPON OUT HE OWNS IS REALLY OUT OF CHARACTER. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND.))

Brendan, full name Brendan Emerald Striker, is the Clan Leader, the second leader but current lead, of an organization called the Shadow Hunters Reborn. The SHR can be seen as a private military company, or PMC, but acts much differently than your average PMC. It's part of an unity known as the Universal Clan Union, or UCU for short, consisting of various PMC clans in various outreaches of life itself. His is one of the highest rated UCU clans alongside nine others. The SHR is large upon its number, and was created as a sole purpose to balance order in all of life itself, no matter where the clan visits, whether it's in their own universe, or other dimensions. The SHR's main base-- SHR Base #64-- is currently stationed on a planet known as Ovellus in the Novgarm System.

Brendan is mostly composed with calmness. He knows how to deal with situations fairly unless otherwise, and wouldn't get angry unless it really drives his own brain out the wall. Whomever he meets he'll make sure that boundaries, respect and obedience are important.

Brendan wasn't originally from Ovellus. Instead, he was actually from Earth. He was an original human named Aaron, that had a terrible life in his early years. At the age of six to eight, he was involved in an incident that almost killed many people in his hometown due to such a mistake he made. He was only a kid, so he didn't know any better. The reason? Faulty stage equipment that he toyed around with on its interface system that overloaded and caused an explosion mere moments from the first sights of sparks flying everywhere during a speech from the town's mayor. Aaron was sent to court the following few weeks with the mayor after the incident. Investigations unveiled the truth, and sought out that the mayor was cutting back costs and didn't care who his committee board even hired. Not before long the mayor took matters to his own hands and hired the cheapest entertainment crew, which had seriously faulty equipment that somehow was never approved for inspection, which led to more answers showing that the company that was hired forged the approvals of their equipment to forgo the long process and costs for even having proper repairs and registered equipment. This led to such a terrible court hearing to where Aaron was found not guilty, but the mayor had charged pressed in over ten different unlawful acts. He was stepped down and arrested next month. However, the publicity around Aaron had a negative impact. Everyone in the town thought he was responsible for almost causing so many deaths. No one died but many had minor to serious injuries. His own father hated the publicity, and disowned Aaron. His mother, sister and brother couldn't even do much with him due to his father. His sister, Eliana, would move out and marry someone a few towns over. His mother and brother would try to make his life a little less shit, but his father would still find ways to make it miserable. This would last for years until he was able to even attend college.

One day, Aaron found a mobile library outside one of the supermarkets in his town. He liked reading things in his spare time, due to how he had little choice of entertainment in his room that wasn't his video game consoles and other things. Heading inside, he browsed the small interior and stumbled across an old but curious book. It looked like some weird biography from someone long ago, called "Nathan Grandmeyer: Life and Secrets." It was labeled as fiction, but he knew something was off. He browsed inside the book, and learned of the object known as the 'Gate Key.' This was no fantasy book, it was a real biography. He purchased it and kept it with him in secret. Days passed as he studied the book, and learned of how this man found a device during his time, and kept it as a secret from his peers. He used it to solve many problems, but somehow caused more to appear. Aaron was able to decipher the book and its secrets, and found coordinates of the Key's supposed location. It was buried in a park near his own home, which couldn't have been a coincidence. When his family was out, he took the opportunity to head to the local park with a medal detector and a shovel. It wouldn't be long until he found it, and it was deep within the ground, too. He took it home and cleaned it off. Inside was the holster for the Key, which had the device inside the holster. The Key was activated, and it even spoke to him. Elysion tells Aaron that she had everything he could have wanted, but needed to ahere to the rules. Simple, but effective. He was deemed the owner of it, and she told him that she could make any of his wishes a reality. His wish? A new life. He hated the current one, so he decided to have a new one. Elysion couldn't bind up the current timeline, but she said she could construct a new body for him if he everso wished. He didn't hesitate, and told her of how the body should look like. It would be a little over 6 feet tall, with a white mullet hairstyle. The eyes would be sapphire blue. The body would be semi-built with good muscle length and strength, but keeping good posture and figure. He had simple attire for it, but it didn't matter. He had a new body made, and renamed himself from Aaron to Brendan. His old body would be stored within Elysion, and his soul would be transferred to the new body. From that day forward, he was an entirely new person. Not only a new person, but he was deemed the 22nd Time Guardian. 21 other guardians thoughout time were chosen by the Key to keep balance and order intact. However as time passed, all of them died out until he was the next one. Well.. all except one, but that remained a secret.

Brendan enrolled into the SHR some time after he started traveling to many worlds with the help of Elysion. The leader at the time was a man called Clyde Bendza, a role model to him. Brendan also met up with other clan members, who would eventually become his friends and teammates. Brendan wore a specialized uniform from the SHR. Having slim, black combat pants and shoes, short-sleeved black uniform top with a white overcloak that was as long as his body. He also wore a headband that had the symbol of the clan, which was a dualized star. He was also given a Hunter Terminal, which was on his left arm. All Hunters in the clan were required to have these arm terminals within the clan. It allows any registered user to access the Hunter Access Network, or HAN for short. It can communicate with anyone within the clan, or outside the clan, issue commands, alerts and messages. It can even have more features installed into its software when wanted.

After thwarting a deranged scientist known as Dr. Ghast, the base was attacked by an unknown force while Brendan was on vacation. Bent on finding who was responsible, he was told by surviving Hunters that Clyde was taken to the abandoned factory on the mountain side behind the base. He gathered a crew and stormed the place, only to find out he was locked off from the others. He came face to face... with his own self. A Shadow. How was this possible? The Shadow told him that the device that he destroyed from the Doctor was the cause. Dr. Ghast built an illegal device known as a Time-Reality Altercator, that had the sole purpose of siphoning Shadows out of lifeforms that had one, and using them to create an army of Shadows to rule worlds in his name. Brendan was the only one affected by the machine since he stabbed his blade, the Ragnarok, into the core, and couldn't get it out. It caused a static shock reaction and tore his own Shadow out without him noticing. With that said, he had little choice but to fight his own Shadow. The fight resulted in the Shadow almost losing, but retreating by getting the factory to self-destruct. Brendan had to reunite with the Hunters he brought with him and escape before the factory exploded. However, they weren't able to locate Clyde and feared that he was killed in the blast. Once the factory's flames ceased, an investigation was in order. Turns out that Clyde was able to escape via a jeep down a path behind the factory. The jeep was found but no sign of Clyde. A note was inside the driver's seat of the jeep. The note was Clyde's thoughts and wonders, and appointing Brendan as the leader. He knew that Brendan would be up for the task than anyone else. Brendan was hesitant, but he took the mantle as Commander.

Months passed and it was already hectic for him to even handle the entire clan. Elysion suggested that he could hire a Council to help him manage the business, which was his only good idea to think of. He attended a seminar full of councils that needed work, and stumbled upon a very pecuilar one; the Galaxia Council. Consisting of 5 members, they seemed to be the right choice after Brendan consulted them for awhile. It was then that the Council found out that Brendan was the current Time Guardian due to Elysion being shown to them. The Council revealed to him that it was them who created the Gate Key, and didn't think they would be reunited with it after so long. Next day, the Galaxia Council would be appointed as heads of the SHR, making life a little less hectic for Brendan, but now he will be monitored by the Galaxia Council, making sure he stays on the right track in keeping peace to many universes.

Brendan never really had a good set of weaponry to start out. Long ago he only had a blade known as the Heaven's Light. It helped him throughout his time before and during this training at the SHR, but it wasn't enough. One day, in a specific world, he heard stories and rumors of a blade known as the Ragnarok, and that it was the holiest blade in existence. Curious about it, he asked Elysion about it, and she said the rumors were all true. She even said that she may know the actual location of the fated claymore. With the use of the Time Stream yet again, Brendan located the cavern that housed the Ragnarok. Within it, lies a trial that he had to pass in order to be deemed worthy. Through such tough hardships, he was able to pass the trials, and defeat the guardian that protected the sword on its altar. As its new master, Brendan took the blade in hand, and deemed himself worthy by the guardian and the blade itself. Only Brendan can wield the Ragnarok. If someone else tried to hold it, they are met with the true weight of the Ragnarok. The blade was made out of a specialized material, rumored to be of a crystal that was forged to be indestructible. The Ragnarok can't ever be damaged or destroyed, but the weight of it felt like someone was trying to lift a mountain. It won't ever budge, yet the true master of the Ragnarok would lift it up like it was just a feather. The Ragnarok boasted power beyond anything, and within one legend, defeated the Excalibur to such great lengths. It also had the power to change its appearence, becoming any weapon that was possible for it to transform into. The Ragnarok was truly the best of all blades...

List of other weapons/abilities/gadgets in his arsenal:

Garvel-Lyon MA-750 Modified Minigun Cannon

With the Hunter Terminal and the weapon link system, Brendan can arm himself with arm weapons, including a minigun arm. This minigun was heavily modified from its original counterpart that was given from its parent company to Brendan, and hosts three barrels that fire over thousands of rounds per minute. This weapon is good for making hoards of enemies cower before itself. However the gun can overheat, and when overheated, the barrels expand from the main base, expelling heat. It also needs to reload its energized ammo after a specific amount of ammo energy is used. The barrels expand and circle the base of the minigun until the weapon is fully reloaded. The gun can be set to where the barrels do not expand while reloading the energy.

Kraft and Wentner Model-63 Railgun (Heavy Modified)

One of his best arm guns, and his personal favorite. Gifted from a company that had the prototype kept away from the public due to it having fatal results, Brendan allowed the SHR's weapons lab to modify the weapon to become his personal go-to arm cannon to fix up... "problems." The railgun can be fired at any point of its charge, firing devastating plasma energy beyond any reach of power. At full charge, the speed and power of the Model-63 cannot be described. Anything caught in its line of fire is immediately destroyed. This weapons also needs to have cooldown times if used too much. Due to heavy modifications, it has a cartridge near its base where it can have two types of carts: Normal and Overdrive. Overdrive is only to be swapped from the normal cartridge in emergencies only. The Overdrive cartridge amplifies the railgun beyond its limits, but only for one shot.

Vector Titanworks "VTM-8X All-Purpose Hand-Cannon"

A sidearm created from Vector Titanworks to be one of their best sidearms in the business. A handgun with 10X zoom, optical aiming, and housing mags that hold up to 30 bullets. It has 6 types of ammo, and 2 of them are two types of sniper mags. It has the stopping power of a sniper rifle, in the compact form of a small handgun. Truly a work of art.

Photon-Powered Lindwurm Jet Boots

These sets of Jet Boots are able to let Brendan fly, float and scatter through the skies at high speeds. Brendan can't naturally fly by himself, so having these jet boots are quite the essential thing for him. He never leaves base without them. And since they're powered by photon energy, they can almost never run out of power. These can also be used as a weapon to inflict heavy damage with flurries of kicks filled with photonic energy per kick.

The 7 Time Stones Stones that originated from the Worldstone of Time, located at the center of life itself within the Time Stream, the Tower of Time. These stones are stored in the Tower or in Elysion for Brendan to access with at any needed moment. Each stone bears time powers to travel into the Time Stream, manipulate time around an user, and have an element akin to its color: Ruby for Fire, Sapphire for Water/Ice, Emerald for Wind, Amber for Earth, Topaz for Lightning, Diamond for Light and Amethyst for Darkness. However these stones just won't listen to anyone. They will only listen to those that are pure of heart with no desire to harm life itself in any form. Even with such intentions to make history proper, using them to alternate timelines and histories can be consequential. If Brendan holds all 7 in hand, he can access his true final form: Haxosunion.

Legendary Blade of the Heavens "Ragnarok"

The holy sword the heavens blessed time itself upon its creation and knowing. The blade is purely 100% indestructible. It cannot be destroyed or dissipated in any way, shape or form. The claymore is only obtained in a trial that tests the wielder upon many fronts, only to be sure that the blade can have a master that will be worth its time. It was said that the blade was made out of a specialized crystal that once forged, it gained unatimous holy power from the heavenly skies. In legends, it went against other holy weaponry and trounced them. It even went against the Excalibur, which was said to be the most holy sword upon legends. However a duel against both blades and their wielders turn out to be in the Ragnarok's favor, easily defeating the Excalibur. The sword can also transform into other weapons, like katanas, spears, twin swords, gauntlets and more. If someone were to try to hold the Ragnarok, the claymore's true weight would be felt upon an unworthy user. The master of the claymore would feel it light enough to use with their fighting styles, however unworthy users would feel massive amounts of weight bearing against them. It's impossible for a person that isn't the master of the Ragnarok to wield the sword. If Brendan enters Haxosunion, the Ragnarok will change into its ultimate form, the Illumina. All powers by the original Ragnarok are multipled, and Brendan can use his ultimate attack's true form: Eternal Odyssey - Zone of Ruin.
