INFO
❦ basics
name: Brooklyn
age: Well over a few hundred years old. Acts like mid-late twenties?
Gender: Male
Movie/series: Gargoyles
year or position: Security
Non-Speaking Animal Companion(if any): None!
Powers(if any):
His physical appears gives him the ability to fly and perch to ledges quite well. Brooklyn's claws are powerful enough to pierce through stone and even clutch into it if he needed to climb. With his slightly thin and muscular build it gives him the ability to fly faster than most gargoyles and to be able maneuver with great agility through obstacles. His flying really consists of 'gliding' where he'd need high altitude in order to fly long distances.
When the sun rises however, where ever he is at, at the moment, he turns to stone. He stays like this until the sunsets. Once it does set, he breaks through his stone shell. It is depicted that the gargoyles rest during this time encased in stone. He awakens with a mighty yawn, looking rather rejuvenated.
❦ In depth:
Personality:
Brooklyn is a loyal gargoyle who is there for his friends and allies whenever they need him. He is willing to put his life on the line for them when it's needed. Brooklyn is one of the few gargoyles who has a pretty good temperament, but when someone does irk him to far, he won't hesitate to intimidate. He is a positive individual when it comes to life, and often cracks jokes to pit a smile on someone's face. Brooklyn loves to explore and find out more about the human world around him. The gargoyle is often fascinated by human customs, cultures and strange devices, which shows he's open and willing to try out new things. This can also make him into a thrill seeker at times, and that can get him into trouble one way or another.
Underneath his outgoing self, there's a whole different story. He doesn't exactly have confidence in himself to become a leader like Goliath, who put him as second-in-command of their clan. In the past, he has also had some 'girl problems'. He doesn't quite know the difference between love and infatuation, and is usually left devastated in the end.
He is rather interested in meeting new people, and can make friends easily. If you do make enemies with him, he will be forever wary of you. He is uneasy when it comes to trusting people all over again, especially when people try to make amends again with him. And with his curiosity with the human world, and new things in general, he is willing to learn new things. He could possibly in interested in sitting in on a class or two, if a teacher doesn't mean a gargoyle sitting in the back of the classroom.
Canon Background: here
AU Background:
Brooklyn was hatched from a clutch of eggs near a sea cliff side of Middle Kingdoms. He became a part of the Wyvern Clan, in which Goliath lead. They were called the Wyvern clan due to the fact that the Castle they protected was called just that. They served Prince Malcom in protecting their castle. In return, the humans protected the gargoyles during the day time, when they were made of stone. During this time, Brooklyn worked hard along side his fellow gargoyles. Goliath soon appointed him as second in command, in case if something were to happen to the leader in which he was incapable of leading. Unfortunately, the clan was betrayed, and most of them were destroyed by humans. Luckily, some of them survived, along with Brooklyn. Goliath also remained, and still kept his position of leader. The small group of them reverted to stone by a spell.
Many years later, the castle was moved to the city of Manhattan in Evangeline, by a billionaire named Xantos, from the city of Manhattan in Evangeline. He heard of the tale of these strange creatures and decided to take it upon himself to awaken them. During the moving process, the spell was broken. Upon their awakening, they met with Xantos and met a detective named Elisa Maza. Elisa became their guide through out the city of Manhattan. The gargoyles took it upon themselves to protect this city just like they did for Castle Wyvern so many years ago.
Goliath took some excursions with Elisa and Bronx to Avalon, and it was up to Brooklyn to take up the reigns of leader. He didn't do too bad as leader, but many of his allies spoke of how Goliath used to lead, and it often wore down on the newly appointed leader. But he eventually shook it off and kept at it. Eventually, time passed and suddenly the Black Mist exploded on a global scale, and Brooklyn was taken away from his clan. When the mist receded, he returned to his clan, they were no where to be seen. He searched all over for them at Manhattan, but there was no evidence left behind as to where they were, or where they went. Devastated, Brooklyn felt as though he had nowhere to go in the world. That was until he got an invitation to the Disney Academy. He accepted it right away, knowing that Goliath, Bronx and Elisa took residence there already.
Appearance:
Brooklyn is a tall gargoyle with head of long white hair. He has pointed ears, horns atop his head and a beak-like mouth, which is different than most gargoyles. His wings are of a red and black combination, and he wears a long loin cloth that is held up at his waits by a black belt. He is of a skinny stature, but muscles are visible.
Classes: N/A
Clubs: N/A
Best Subject: N/A
Greatest Fear:
His greatest fear is to be a failure at being a leader. He wants to be the best he can be, but there are limits that he does hit at some points. Brooklyn doesn't take into account that he does have limits, and often ignores them. At other times, leadership is set into hands too soon, and he'd turn to someone else to lead, not wanting to take said responsibility. But, if it does come down to it, he will take the leadership position, and try his best, despite that nagging feeling of possible failure in the back of his mind. And with his strong relationship with his clan, he is afraid of being alone.
