She just has that firey passion that'd let her take on even the meanest of villains, and come out on top. It isn't hard to tell that she is a Nomad right off the bat. Her body is in tip top physical condition due to years of practice and training, and uses that to pull off stunts and feats of acrobatics like no other. Brooke is also known for her trademark smile, in which she never loses (Unless shit gets [i]real[/i]). Now, Brooke is a fairly muscular five-eight woman, with a 30C cup size. Just not the most feminine with her rather masculine-body type. She is part Welsh, part-Columbian, and part-Brazilian. She dresses lightly to preserve freedom of movement, a sports bra and gym shorts being her preferred outfit, while she carries an excessively large gym bag over her shoulder. Though, all of her sports bras are marked with the Dinosaur logo - which is the emblem of the Vanburen Martial Arts Studio.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent] ■ Energetic. ■ Heroic. ■ Spiteful. ■ Kind. ■ Nature-Loving. ■ Adventurous. ■ Rash. ■ Headstrong. ■ Arrogant. ■ Doesn't think things through. ■ Greedy. [/indent] [color=forestgreen][u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Brooke was the daughter of two very well known martial arts, Vincent Vanburen, and Stella Decker. Back in the day, they were known as heated rivals in the tournament scene - but, behind the scenes, they had the biggest crushes on each other that were never acted on. Until one particularly large tournament where a grapple turned into a kiss, and the two made out on the tournament floor. Even though they were both disqualified, they became lovers ever since then. Eventually getting married, and settling down, having a daughter named Brooklyn Vanburen (and various other children who are not relevant). To make ends meat, Vincent started a martial arts studio using his famous style, which he dubbed Vanburen Style. Vincent was known for his impenetrable defense, and how he punished foes who attacked carelessly. With few able to contend with him. The studio was fairly popular... and, of course, Brooke was roped into the studio at a young age, being personally trained by her father in the Vanburen karate. Eventually her ki grew as she did, until she had such an abnormally high-ki that her father wondered if she would exceed him. In turn, he taught her various tricks she could use that could expand her already powerful style. She went to various low-level tournaments in which she dominated until she came across her first rival: Sierra Goodrich. To put it short, Sierra had a style that basically countered Vanburen karate in every single way imaginable. Every time the two fought, Sierra defeated Brooke, and eventually became the champion of the region. Brooke, annoyed, became disillusioned with Vanburen Style. Even though she received the black belt, it meant nothing to her knowing that she had an inferior style. If she was going to be the best, she needed the best style. After a search, and much decisions, Brooke became a Nomad, heading out to search for ways to improve the Vanburen Family's Style by finding new and fresh styles to incorporate. Along with getting experience in tournaments to make a name for herself, and the Vanburen family style. In her travels, she came across a few other Nomads... where she learned that quite a few of them have sizable bounties on them. She figured that it was time to make some dough in the progress! [/indent] [/indent] [color=forestgreen][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][color=forestgreen][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Brooke uses a martial art unique to this universe known as Vanburen Karate! It's a custom style invented by her father, that is a blend of Judo, Traditional Karate, Aikido, Jujutsu, Kick-Boxing, and Krav Maga, to create the ultimate self-defense fighting style. Brooke is a black belt in this style (recently being awarded title of master). This style empathizes defense above all else, and is about using your ki to create an impenetrable defense. Which is why most of the moves are for defending yourself from harm, rather than attacking enemies. The style uses tons of grapples, parries, and reversals, which lead into many hard hitting blows to vital areas. Which, given that Brooke has a ton of strength behind her attacks, will hurt like a bitch. She is very strong, and very durable, because of her high-ki, which allows her to fight evenly with a majority of opponents. Brooke has a knowledge of ki, and while she can't shoot fireballs, she uses her knowledge of ki to help her parry and deflect ki infused attacks.[/indent] [color=forestgreen][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][u]■ Dinosaur Parry[/u] [indent]Brooke briefly drops into stance, and puts her arm up. If a melee attack (Regardless of whether or not it's barehanded) hits her head on, she'll parry the attack, leaving her opponent open, and opens her up to do a variety of different moves.[/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][u]■ Brachiosaurus Breaker[/u] [indent]The Grand Slam is a grapple that is an over the shoulder throw that slams the opponent square into the ground. Regardless of size or weight, as Brooke is strong enough to lift even the strongest enemies.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Pterosaur Launcher[/u] [indent]Brooke punches upwards with enough force to send her opponent flying up into the air, from there, she can initiate a combo or two.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Stegosaurus Stomp[/u] [indent]Brooke raises her first up into the air, and brings it down over the opponent, causing a brief stun that Brooke can chain into a combo.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Ankylosaurus Flurry[/u] [indent]Brooke punches the opponent in the groin with such force and fury that that it leaves a gigantic impact. Before she follows it up with another flurry of blows that'd leave even the strongest enemies staggering.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Iguanodon Charge[/u] [indent]Brooke grabs onto her enemy, and charges into the nearest hard object like a meteor crashing down.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Triceratops Guard[/u] [indent]A different stance than the Dinosaur Parry, one where Brooke drops her weight, and puts both of her arms up to defend her head. This stance is funneling her ki in front of her to create a shield, and instead of parrying the attack, Brooke tanks it. It isn't completely negating the damage, but it definitely lessons it.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Pteranodon Slayer[/u] [indent]Brooke launchers herself straight up into the air with both hands outstretched, and grabs onto any airborne enemies. If she latches on, she brings the enemy to the ground in a roll, before locking her opponent in a chokehold.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ The Roar[/u] [indent]The Roar is Brooke's attack she uses to get opponents away from her. It's a powerful ki infused punch that creates a short of pseudo-projectile that moves a few feet in front of herself. Any opponent that gets hit with this will get launched away. Though, it doesn't do a lot of damage beyond that, and leaves her open.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Spinosaurus Roll[/u] [indent]A grapple in which Brooke grabs onto an enemy, flips up into the air rolling, and slams them onto the ground hard.[/indent][/indent] [color=forestgreen][u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][u]■ Shield of the Dino-God[/u] [indent]The ultimate guard that Vanburen Karate has to offer. Brooke stops for a moment, and charges up her entire body with ki, creating a massive glowing green aura around herself. This Aura is a powerful guard that allows Brooke to negate even the strongest attacks. Though, it fades away after a few moments, or after getting hit with a powerful blow.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Meteor Impact[/u] [indent]A very simple move, Brooke parries an attack - but, then, kicks them up into the air, grabs onto her opponent, and charges up her entire body with ki, before slamming them down back to Earth hard as she can. Enough to create a crater![/indent][/indent] [color=forestgreen][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]The biggest flaw in Brooke's fighting style is that it specializes in [i]defense,[/i] and playing passively, rather than being aggressive. Case in point, a majority of Brooke's hard hitting attacks, and starters depend on the enemy hitting her first. She isn't good at initiating combat, just reacting to it. She also has little options for closing in on opponents, thus she is a master of turtling, but not zoning. Brooke's various parries, and blocks don't exactly negate damage at all (Save for her super). She'll still get a little damaged from her parries, and blocks, even if it's a little bit. In addition, she needs to be holding still to do her defensive moves.[/indent] [/indent] [color=forestgreen][h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][indent][/indent][/indent] [/hider]
