Brutus the Brutal

Brutus the Brutal is a Deuteragonist that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero. He is a very old warrior who used to be an everyday crocodile without an arm or a leg but believe it or not Brutus is 4,130 years old as of the events of the current story and was alive well around the days before earth was purified. Brutus was a Saltwater Crocodile who after 2030 still was alive and even ate over 20 humans who didn't help clean the environment and change their ways. Brutus is one of the longest living crocodiles still in 4050 and trying to become the successor to two other powerful crocodilians named Gustave and Krys who he aspires to become as good as.

## Characteristics

### Prologue to 2030:

Before 2030 Brutus the Brutal was an 80 year old Saltwater Crocodile who had greyish-green hide and a lot of lacerations such as wounded eye and missing an arm and a leg as well as a lot of teeth. However Brutus kept on living and consuming food since he is an Indeterminate Grower allowing the animal to become larger and older. before his transformation he was known for being also very much intelligent and still had natural selection at his side however he had never reproduced once due to his size being an issue but he was very much a pro survivor.

### Transformation into Brutus the Brutal:

in 3001 Brutus who at the time was being overwatched by a bunch of Environmentalists were attempting to see how long he would live but after the Green Asteroid struck earth he slowly began to change and eventually stopped appearing all together in his usual biomes. what happened is that now Brutus looks like an Anthropomorphic upright crocodilian who stands at a staggering 3.3 meters tall and his tail makes him 6.27 meters long. he still has the colors he had before he transformed but now he has Obsidian armor, Carbon-heat-pressurized gloves which deal triple damage to any opponent with skin, and he also now has an eye patch and his arm and leg regrew during transformation. Brutus carries around a massive Great Sword made with the femur of one of the Giganotosaurus he ate after he became his evolved state and welded it into a Great Sword which had a blade made from Emerald giving it a pretty yet menacingly shiny surface. Despite all these bulky and scary looks Brutus is actually quite the teddy bear and seems to fit into society REALLY well ever since he was accepted into it along with the other mutants. Brutus is a very intelligent guy who also welds tools for the main protagonists on a daily basis with enthusiasm.

## History

Brutus was a regular old Saltwater crocodile born in 1942 and has survived ever since including through some deadly scenarios where he would have been hunted. However something about brutus was a bit different because due to his Indeterminate Growth trait he was able to age and also learn what normal animals can't. he slowly began to age physically however because he lost his arm and leg as well as a lot of teeth but he refused to let natural selection take him and he began to see a lot. Later he even ate a Bull Shark with that very same set of ruined parts and still won. Later in 2030 the crocodilian still alive was learning a difference between the humans who tried to spear and net him and the humans who took photos and threw him food and after awhile realized this difference was what told him that the humans were as diverse in their alignment as the crocodiles were. Then in 3000 the green asteroid struck earth and Brutus wasn't too effected until the effects of the asteroid spread to his habitat and began to change his DNA and RNA and blast them with SNA to change him. by 3001 he completely evolved into Brutus the Brutal and after he transformed he went through a 1 day existential crisis because he sees he is different from his fellow crocodilians. However, after seeing how he can go both under water and on the land he didn't dwell on too much he decided to take his chances and become a citizen of the current new society. Brutus after the dinosaurs began coming back ended up killing and eating a Giganotosaurus which not only was the first time anyone saw his strength but was also when he developed his Welding ability and turned him into a master blacksmith. He created his Emerald Great Sword from the femur of the Giganotosaurus and used it to create the weapon and in 3003 he learned how to enchant after understanding the Spell Books that had popped up in libraries in 3002. Brutus eventually in 4050 was the owner of a shop called "Brutus' Weapons & Spellbook shop" in Australia which now due to it being more colonized and city populated allowed him to create this shop where people could buy weapons and potions and Spell Books. In 4050 also is when he meets the main protagonists of the book and they are there to purchase some Spell Books so that Ahiko Maverick can install more spells into her inventions as well as get a grade on "Independent Purchasing" in their class. Brutus of course is scary looking but really is just a teddy bear and even gives the characters a Neopolitan ice cream cone proving he has a big heart.
