The Details

Body Type: In human form, Bran has a lean swimmers build, with classic Scottish looks of dark hair, pale skin and intensely blue eyes. He has a jovial smile that tends to be infectious and likes to swagger or show off a bit when he walks.

In bear form, Bran is a 9 1/2 foot tall brown Kodiak bear, but retains his blue eyes. He's massive, muscular, furry, has claws, sharp teeth-- he's a bear people. Try to imagine something cute and cuddly that can knock your head off if he plays too rough.

Wardrobe: Bran likes earth tones and fabrics that are stretchy. (less likely to rip during a change) He favors newsboy caps and doesn't spend much on clothing since he loses it frequently. He hates shoes, but wears them because he has to. Bran almost always wears a black leather jacket (which he takes off immediately if he starts to get angry) and a stone talisman of his clan's crest on a leather chord around his neck.

Costume:Bran's costume is a lot of brown fur....

Posture: Bran carries himself with a straight back and proud posture. Mostly because his Ma and Dad beat it into him. (Not literally beat, just scolded a lot.) He keeps his chest out, and walks with purpose. Not one to rush he's fond of walking, more then running but he will if need be. He steps a bit heavily not one to tip toe. His ticks when he's nervous he will shift between feet and scratch the back of his neck. If he's wearing a hat he fiddles with it and runs his hand through his hair. Stumbles over his mouth around pretty girls, tends to fall back on cursing a lot because its what he knows. Has a shift into Gaelic when going on a cussing rant.

Personality: Overall Bran is a mellow upbeat individual. Not an angry person by nature, much like what he changes into he's more likely to go ballistic if he is threatened. Though he dose love to fight, to him that's boxing and playing around. He tends to be popular with ladies at least the ones in the states. Most of the girls back home were either frightened of him or know him TOO well if you get my point.

His politics are simple. "Do unto others.....and Eye for an Eye." take care of the first and the second need no apply. He likes movies and rough housing. He likes to sneak into pubs and is a fan of beer...Scottish beer, bit tough for the yanks. Overall, Bran lives up to his nickname, Bran the Bear. he tends to be a teddy bear, but fiercely protective of his friends and family.


Turn Ons:Feisty wiry girls, beer, honey, sleeping outdoors, swimming (preferably in cold water) applause, kids, and girls

Turn Offs: Mean people, bees, snobs, The English, cages, hunters, hot weather, arrogance.

**Two year Goal -graduate high school, get a job on an animal reservation
**Five year Goal -graduate college, become an animal trainer

So... got any cool powers?
Powers and Abilities

Genetic Mutation: Ursine Physiology: Bran's mutation allows him to transform into a Kodiak Brown Bear. In this form he gains the following attributes.

[/i] The ability to retract sharp bear claws into his hands

Constriction/Crushing Strong paws will crush solid objects like wood and some stone

Dermal Armor Tough hide covered in thick brown fur, plus strong dense bones capable of withstanding blunt force trauma

Enhanced Bite Jaws are strong enough to break bones with a single bite

Enhanced Climbing Can use claws to aid in climbing trees, cliffs, walls, etc.

Enhanced Endurance High resistance to the elements due to hide and fur, energy conserved and stored.

Enhanced Smell can detect individual people/animals by their individual scent

Enhanced Strength Is equal to 5 to10 humans in strength

Enhanced Speed Can lope on all fours up to 30 MPH[/ul]

Bran retains his enhanced smell, some enhanced hearing and about half his strength in human form. In bear form he also retains most of his intelligence and the ability to speak.

Weaknesses: The longer Bran stays in bear form, the more likely he is to "become the bear" and lose his humanity. Anger can force an unwilling shift, as can hormonal outbursts (gosh puberty was fun)

Learned Abilities:Likes to swim for exercise, also was taught from a young age about the sweet science of bare knuckle boxing, he can hot wire a car, but only because his first ride back in Scotland was such a beater, he had to do a lot of self improvements. He likes to play with kids and is a good cook at beef stews, Bread and nobody can cook a fish on the fly like him. Self taught through many mistakes about mechanics.

Resources: His falling apart blue beetle, its held together mostly by duct tape, his circus family.

Education: Bran had attended public school in Scotland all the way up to around 13 when his first change happened. His school was EXTREMELY erratic from that point on. He learned what he could from the world as he went from that point picking up bits here and there for an uneven but somewhat steady education.



A long time ago...at least for Bran. He was born in Perth, Scotland
He had a mother and father who loved him very much. He was an only child but had a huge family of 1 uncle and 3 aunts. Which meant lots of cousins. His grandfather would tell them stories of their family crest and that they had a proud ancestry. At the age of three his grandfather gave Bran a stone pendant on a leather chord that bore the family's crest. They were known as the Bear Clan, and they were legend to be cursed.

According to folklore, one MacDugger child in every generation bore the curse of Mor'du, and would turn into a bear that was capable of rampaging and killing an entire city once a month under the full moon. Everyone laughed this legend off as old stories to get children to behave--eat your vegetables or the curse will turn you into a bear that sort of thing. Except, that is, for Bran's grandfather, Dune.

Dune believed in the curse whole heartedly, and what's more in giving Bran the pendant he had chosen him as the one to bear the-- well the bear curse. Perhaps he knew his grandson would carry the mutation, or perhaps it was luck, Bran never really knew. What he did know was that when he hit puberty at 13 the change took him.

The first time Bran changed into Mor'du, he bit his uncle's arm clean off. His family chased him from their city, persued only by his grandfather. Dune explained the "curse" was actually a mutation, that it had nothing to do with the moon, but instead Bran's hormones and emotions, and that in about three years he should be able to control the transformation if he worked at it. He gave him a few hundred dollars, some clothes and a map, sending Bran on his way in the world for the people of Perth would never see him as anything now but a monster.

Making his way through the British Ilse's, Bran came across Kurt Wagner in the forest of England. Kurt was a part of the circus, and convinced Bran that traveling the world was a far better life than living in the woods as a bear. He learned to become a performer, and Kurt became as close to Bran as a brother. Together they would work the crowds in the circus and take photos with small children, Bran the Bear and the Amazing Nightcrawler.

Now they arrive in New York, city of splendors. Bran is feeling the itch to find a cave and hibernate for a while, but can he leave Kurt, his brother in the circus and the best friend he has ever made?




From In the Wake of Humanity where I play the Hulk

There was the idea of pain and then there was the reality of it. Everything went black, but not blissfully fast. No indeed it was beyond imagination. Try to imagine your brain, body, and the very essence of you burning to ashes. Freezing till you shattered, Exploding into a million pieces. Reforming and healing in the blink of an eye.

Combine all of that together and it might have explained what Bruce Banner felt in those few seconds. His body had slammed into the doors as his last thoughts were how he had failed at everything except the insane idea that he had somehow saved Pepper from the same fate. He was aware and not at the same time. The room wasn't there but he was in some place that felt like it. There were to many reasons for him to be dead. Besides the obvious radiation, burns, broken skull from force of impact, concussive force from the explosion, poison just to name a few.

But he was in the dark. Feeling so many things at once. And yet.....he wasn't alone.
Something else there, something close, yet just out of sight. Something he knew had always been there. He wanted to yell out, cry out, run, but he could do was stand still as whatever it was got closer. It eclipsed him, he knew this thing and yet he didn't all at the same time. He wanted to wake up. He was so scared,....no he wasn't scared. Scared was how he felt when his father yelled at him. Scared was what he was when he was picked on as a kid. Scared was how he acted when he couldn't form the proper words when trying to ask a girl out, or stand up for himself. No what he felt now wasn't fear, it was the thing that lays there beneath fear, the thing that swims in the dark waters of your mind.

It was the thing that was always there with him. So long denied and ignored, now bursting through with unimaginable force and unstoppable strength. He was there in his house Christmas morning. His father's brutal temper ruining the holiday scaring him as his mother tried to protect him. He was past that being chased by bullies and having his glasses broken and his lip bloody. The girls turning him down, his cousin being his only true friend half the time, his long nights studying alone, and up to Pepper. Her scared, alone, and all his fault.

He burned from the inside out. Deep down fear was no longer there. Now he felt one thing and only one thing.................................................ANGRY

There was a shout from deep within Bruce, it was soon a roar of incredible volume.
The hand that slapped against the chamber was at first a regular hand but hit was changing.....growing...........its skin color changing to green. Bruce was there and yet not. He and It only knew that Pepper was in danger. It stood. It was taller, it was still growing. It didn't like the room, it was loud, it was small. It hated the room. It would get out, break out..........SMASH!!!

It yelled loud enough to shake he walls of the chamber, the room, and a good part of the hall. It reached back and hit the door with a rage filled blow. The door bent like rubber and flew off the hinges slamming into the wall and then going through it.

It didn't understand what all the noise was, but It hated it. It looked at the room like it should know this, like someone was trying to tell him something. It didn't understand all the little screens with words like "All Clear," "Radiation depleted." It looked up at the ceiling where all the loud noise had started. It threw its head back and let out a growl/roar/yell that was heard throughout the entire compound.

It would find Pepper and Smash this place down until it did.
