### Background

Fun fact: In a way, these two saved the world even before they were born. How did that happen, you ask? Well, during the infernal seige of Star City, their father Hellboy had been seduced to the dark side by some demonic hocus pocus. He had ceased to be the heroic Hellboy and had become the apocalyptic Anung Un Rama - the Great Beast of Revelation! Yeah... not good.

Well, their mother, Liz Sherman, had a trick up her sleeve and a couple of baby beasts baking in her oven. When she got close enough to Anung Un Rama to whisper that she was pregnant and he was going to be a father, Hellboy was able to will himself out of the spell he had been trapped under, snap off his overgrown horns, and fight back the demon horde. How awesome is that?!

After the infernal siege, Liz and Hellboy got married and settled down back at their Colorado underground base, converting Hellboy's old room into a nursery.

### Brigette Bruttenholm: 2013

The twins were meant to be born in Abe Sapien's water tank, as Liz was interested in the benefits of a water birth, but when labor pains caused her to boil the water, the laboratory was quickly converted into an infirmary. It was there that the twins were born, with Johann Kraus stepping in to deliver the babies after Abe was left with severe burns. Hellboy had to insist on Liz holding the Right Hand of Doom as he needed his left hand free to work the fire extinguisher.

Brigette was born eleven minutes before her brother. Both came out of their mother with red skin, stubby little horns, and tails. However, once their mother got to swaddle them and soothe them, they opened their big yellow eyes, met their mother's gaze, and slowly took on a human appearance.

### Brigette Bruttenholm: 2014

The children would become red hellions a couple more times in their first months of life - usually when hungry, tired, or in need of a diaper change. The BPRD converted an empty bedroom into an armored panic room, similar to the fireproof room they used to keep a young Liz Sherman in. If the kids ever went full tantrum, it was up to their father to wrangle them quickly and rush to the panic room to lock himself inside until the crisis was averted.

By the time the twins were celebrating their first birthday, they were walking and talking and had not gone red in over a month. At the end of the year, the twins were roughly the equivalent of four-year-old human children.

### Brigette Bruttenholm: 2015

Brigette and T.J. started to show their individual personalities during this time. They both began proper schooling during this time, with regular classes held in Station 8 with lessons being taught by Kate Corrigan, Abe Sapien, Johann Kraus, and their parents. They would also begin to accompany their parents in the field for no-risk fact-finding missions. Both twins would also spend a lot of time playing board games, video games, and going on field trips with their "brother" Roger.

By the end of 2015, the twins both looked like nine-year-old children. The next year, their aging had slowed somewhat, as they were roughly eleven or twelve.

### Brigette Bruttenholm: 2015 - Present

Brigette developed an interest in sports, particularly skateboarding. She began to skate through the halls of Station 8 on her dad's old skateboard. She also took an interest in listening to her parents' music collection.

### Resources

* **Cambion Physiology:** Most of Brigette and T.J.'s abilities stem from their demonic heritage, however it is worth noting that their human heritage (both on their mother and father's side) should not be dismissed.
	+ ***Clairsentience:*** Brigitte and T.J. have the ability to subconsciously learn information from their world around them in their sleep. This allows them to develop new skills at nearly five times the rate of human children. There is some concern that this information may be given to them through a mental link to their grandfather Azazel.
	+ ***Enhanced Durability:*** Brigitte and T.J. are able to withstand wounds that would be fatal to ordinary humans. They can recover from their injuries at an incredible rate. It is worth noting that even when may not be not visibly injured, both still feel pain.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength:*** Although the true extent of their strength is unclear, Brigette and T.J. are much stronger than they look. Despite their size, they can lift three-times their body weight over their head with little effort.
	+ ***Enhanced Stamina:*** The twins' stamina exceed that of highly athletic humans.
	+ ***Immunity:*** Brigitte and T.J. appear to be complete impervious to fire — whether mundane or magical in origin. This includes smoke and the effects of intense heat. As their bodies provide substantial body heat, they are resistant to cold weather.
	+ ***Maturation:*** Brigitte and T.J. appear to age between two to fives times faster than human children. Their mother was pregnant for approximately seven months and by the time the children were one-year-chronologically, their biology was closer to children of four-years. As of their third birthday, they had become... *tweens*!
	+ ***Supernatural Senses:*** Brigette's sight, devoid of obstacles and other interferences, seems only limited by her focus and the horizon. T.J. also have tremendous vision (when corrected by his glasses). Similarly, neither ever have any difficulty seeing in the dark. As supernatural creatures, the twins can also see, hear, and interact with astral travellers, ephemeral beings, and ghosts. Both are also sensitive to the presence of magical and psychic phenomena.
* **Intrinsic Sensitivity:** Despite lacking a meta-gene, both twins have found a way to tap into their mother's affinity for the Burn using their infernal ability.
	+ ***Pyrokinesis:*** The twins have fantastic ability to mentally create, shape, control, generate and manipulate every form of fire including its accompanying heat, light, and various reaction products — such as flame and smoke. Both twins can also control the temperature of the fire at will. Using their infernal aura, the twins can generate fire at will, projecting flames from their hands or having it surround their bodies.
* **Brigette's Skills:** Brigette appears to have greater affinity for muscle memory than her brother. She excels at such endeavors with little time needed to practice.
	+ ***Athletic:*** Brigette enjoys sports and had natural affinity for most sports and other physical activities, including skateboarding, climbing, swimming, and parkour. Of all the sports she participates in, she enjoys martial arts and skateboarding the most.

### Weaknesses

* **Emotions:** The twins' powers are volatile. If the twins fail to keep their emotions in check, they could accidentally cause massive amounts of destruction in an instant.
* **Separation Anxiety:** Interestingly, the twins appear to have substantially more difficulty keeping their emotions in check or using their powers when they are apart.
* **Vice — Lust:** Like their parents, these kids have lustful hearts. Brigette is a little flirt, prone to teasing peers. T.J. is a bit of a pervert with a thing for busty older women.
