Brody

**Brody** is a side character in the 'Traffic cone man' oc universe. He is a misunderstood alien sent to earth through being created by the core of stability.

## appearance

Brody is an alien of average height and slightly chubby build. He looks as if he is made from a mass of bright coloured shapes, his face, body and limbs showing this very well. He has 2 different coloured eyes, one being pale with a swirl-shaped pupil and the other being red with a red star-shaped pupil. He has a triangular nose and a sharp-toothed mouth. His hair is made of many multicoloured shapes, the majority of which are triangular. He was created as a last resort by the core of stability in an attempt to preserve itself and is essentially the human form of the core which has made him the target of many villains attacks, such as Artemis and Saint mortuus, as if he is killed, reality is reset, which is what the core would have done a long time ago if it didn't create Brody.

## personality

Brody is an uplifted spirit, and is social when he wants to be. He has a low social battery, though, and usually doesn't stay long in crowded areas or busy conversations. When he is sent to Earth, his arrival is treated as a threat and is attacked, in a confused panic, he lashes out with his powers and is mistaken for an even bigger threat and kidnapped and taken to an alien facility. When Traffic cone man and the crew knows of his presence, they attempt to communicate with him. He doesn't understand or speak English at all at the time, and has no idea what they are saying. While they are there, they teach him basic English, such as their names. Brody doesn't have a name at the time, so Traffic cone man names him. Once he signals to them that he is wrongly accused, they break him out. Hansel teaches him English for months on end, until he can finally understand the language. He is always studying human culture and human personality, as his biggest dream is to one day fit into human society and be loved like one. Him and Hansel have been best friends since they met, and they both grow very attached to each other, to the point that they both love each other, but they both are too shy to ask. When Hansel eventually confesses, Brody did the same. He is unfortunately killed by Saint Mortuus during the final arc. Before he dies, he sticks a shape onto a rock and uses Isaac to swallow it, so the core could never fully die and reality is not reset.

## powers

Brody has many powers, they all involve the shapes made from his body:

### shapenel

Brody has the ability to fire beams of multicoloured shapes from his hands. Anything this 'shapenel' touches, is eaten away at and corroded, like incredibly strong acid. Shapenel can corrode almost any material, and even people. He uses this in many notable occasions, one of which being his introduction, where he uses it against the army and its vehicles. He uses shapenel to grab a tank and throw it at a crowd, corroding anything the tank touches.

### shape stick

'Shape stick' is another of Brody's powers. It allows him to transfer energy, whether that be life energy or attacking force, to a shape that can be attached to objects or lain on the ground. Any creature that comes in contact with these shapes will experience the force of that energy. For example, Brody can attach life energy to a shape and give it to a wounded ally, it will decline his own health depending on now much force he puts into the shape, but it will heal the ally, or if he were to attach a shape with immense attacking force onto someone like a sticker, they will feel the force without having to come in contact with Brody himself. He uses this during the fight with Saint Mortuus, where he sticks the last of his life force to a shape that Isaac eats, but instead of healing the baby, this shape is preserving Brody's soul in a place that is seemingly impossible to reach it in: Isaac's endless gullet. Preserving his soul technically means that the core is not gone for good, and thus he saves reality from being reset.

## history

### creation

Brody was created in deep space and set on a course to earth once Traffic cone man had destroyed the core of stability in order to stop the Octolord and the eternity worm. It was a final attempt at preserving reality, and thus he shares attributes to the core-if he dies, then reality is reset. Once he arrives on Earth, alone and confused, he is mistaken for an alien invader, and is attacked. He takes this as a sign of hostility and, in a confused panic, lashes back, still not having full understanding over his power, and causes many casualties. He is eventually beaten and taken to a facility, where he is held captive.
