Christian Brutal Sniper

Christian Brutal Sniper, also called CBS or Brutal, is a major antagonist in That's So Real. He provides most of the conflict in Arc 3. He is a teamless Sniper.

## Biography

### Appearance

Christian Brutal Sniper is a teamless Sniper who wears primarily black and dark red. He has a thick black beard and a slightly duskier skintone than most Snipers. He typically wears a black collared shirt over a leather vest, with biohazard symbols on the shoulders. He also has a wide-brimmed hat with a cross decoration and blood stains. His eyes are red, with catlike slit pupils.

In the flashback scenes in arc 5, he was a RED Sniper. He had a pair of large black feathered wings, enabling him to fly; he also emoted using them.

### Personality

Brutal is violent, arrogant, and power-hungry. The more others fear him, the stronger he gets. He has the ability to Freak-ify others by biting them on the neck. He is also quite possessive and has forced a new identity on another person at least once before (he tried to make Ethan into Teamkiller.) There is nothing he hates more than having his ego bruised, as that is how he loses his power. He prefers to believe that he is unstoppable.

If he is defeated, he loses much of his willpower and becomes very pathetic. His demeanor in such situations has been compared to that of a wet puppy. CBS has moments of quiet reflection, such as when he watches a crow fly and is reminded of his lost wings.

Before he became Brutal, he was an agreeable and generally meek individual. He liked his wings and flight because they were liberating to him, and his powerful sniping made his teammates happy. Abuse at the hands of BLU twisted him into the violent maniac he is today.

## History

CBS has his origins as Christian, a RED Sniper working as an ordinary mercenary. He used his flight abilities to gain the upper hand for his team, often saving matches at the last second. Although his team loved him for it and considered him their most valuable asset, he unintentionally drew the ire of BLU. Considering it cheating, they abducted him one night and took him into their basement. There, the BLU Medic cruelly cut off his wings with a bone saw. The pain and rage transformed Christian, giving him his ability to freakify others via biting.

At some point, he was taken prisoner by the BLU team stationed at ctf\_discovery. They held him in a cell with a heavy steel door secured with an electronic lock.

In Arc 2, Duke accidentally broke the electrical systems for ctf\_discovery while escaping. This caused the lock to disengage, allowing CBS to escape. He hitched a ride into the city via the subway systems. Once he arrived, he began attacking people, beginning with a pair of Engineers working in the tunnels. His toxic bite turned his victims into Freaks like him.

He "visited" a church to attack one of its priests, Freak-ifying him into Christian Pure Spy. From there, he started a reign of terror, killing and mutating people. He made an underground complex into his hideout, where he stayed with CPS and Painis Cupcake.

When Ethan, Duke, Dr. Finch, and Kyros investigated his secret hideaway, he cornered Ethan and Duke. During the fight, he bit Ethan and dragged him away to make him an apprentice. Not realizing that Ethan was immune to Freak-ification, he forced the scout to become "Teamkiller" and enforced a cult hierarchy among his followers.

A few days later, Duke along with Kyros and Dr. Finch tracked him down to cp\_mossrock, where he was hiding with his most loyal followers. He set a Vagineer on Duke to chase him into an enclosed area. There, he tried to force Ethan to kill Duke. When it failed, he became enraged and started to fight both scouts by himself. He held his own well enough until Kyros charged in and downed him with a particularly strong punch. This weakened him long enough for Dr. Finch to shoot him with a sedative.

Defeated, Christian Brutal Sniper was taken into custody again. He was last seen under high security confinement in cp\_coldfront.

In arc 5, CBS was still at Coldfront while CPS infiltrated the facility. Pure sprung his plan into action, freeing Brutal from his confines. After escaping Coldfront, they retrieved Painis Cupcake from Pure's hideout and went to koth\_harvest.
