Brian Yang

*“I am the grandson of sensei yang. However, I will not be like him.”*
— Brian

**Brian Yang** is the current Elemental Master of Light.

## Personality

Brian is an overall serious person. Not gaining a sense of humor really from anywhere. However his mother continued to try and raise Brian to enjoy comedy. This causes him to sometimes have ok jokes and other times try and joke but end up just screwing up somehow and someway. In combat his focus is lasered on his opponent or opponents. Refusing to speak at all so he doesn't get sidetracked. He does get angry sometimes but that is mainly when somebody brings up his father in any way shape or form. As he refuses to think about his father. Brian's social life is very limited. Being almost exclusive to himself and his mother. Maybe the occasional old classmate he bumps into. But that's about it. It's a true issue he will have when it comes to any sort of ninja team because how would he successfully work with a team if he couldn't even make friends in his average life? However Brian never thought about teamwork because the only people he's trained with is him and some straw dummies he bought or made in Ninjago city.

## History

Brian's life was one of love. Born the son of Kodokuna Yang Jr and his wife. Brian's father would be nothing like his grandfather. For as long as he lived. Brian had a natural desire to train in martial arts and use them on others. Which mainly ended up being straw dummies he would make using materials he was given throughout Ninjago. Around the age of 7 his father had passed away due to some issues related with the prolonged amount of time Sensei Yang would force Brian's father to be in the sun. Basically killing him of skin cancer. This made Brian have to work as hard as he could for a preteen. Just to make sure he and his mother did not join his father. At age 18 Brian started his job at Chen's Noodle house, which wasn't much but it helped him and his mom survive so it worked. At age 19 he was coming home from a shift when he saw his mother being attacked by petty thugs. Which didn't have any weaponry and just relied on melee combat, Brian's favorite form of combat. He began fighting the thugs when one of them attempted to strike him from behind. As a blinding light emitted from Brian's body blinding the thugs. Brian would continue to fight them. His body slowly shifted in visibility during combat. After the fight was over. His mother told him about his family history with airjitzu and the Ninjago realm history of elemental powers. Brian remembers the next thing he did like a moment he would never forget. June 22nd, the day he discovered he had powers. Brian spent 3 years and continues to train in melee combat, weaponry based combat, and combat using his elemental powers. He had no thought of prophecy or fate when it came to what he did. He just wanted to train and increase his strength. And god damn did he do that in the best way he could. Due to his training and eating more than the average person would, he had to work overtime a lot which puts quite the stress on his body. However most of the time he shrugged it off and would practically ignore it. And now we are at today. Brian's training has gone rather well but he still has yet to master or reach his true potential. However, that does not mean he will stop. His mother is still alive and healthy. However he is unsure how long that will last. He does hope his mother lasts quite some time compared to his father. He read up on old scrolls his father passed down to him. Containing the ways on how to learn airjitzu. He hasn't quite mastered it. But with enough training he could do that and learn spinjitzu.
