## Biography

Julian was born to a lower class family in the slums of Los Angeles. Eventually after his parents passed at the age of 18, Julian adopted his 14 year old brother and raised him for the next several years while struggling between several jobs and working his way through college. When Scott's Rebellion began and his younger brother Ryker Hernandez at the age of 16 intended to fight in it, Julian declared him too young and refused to let him fight in the revolution.

During Scott's Rebellion, Julian proved himself to Scott Green during the uprising of the San Fernando Valley. During the uprising Julian fought alongside Scott Green and together they managed to defeat Stanley Mercuryburn. Just as well, during the battle of Hollywood, Julian leaped from a building and managed to stab Quentin Mercuryburn in the eye. Following both of these battles, Julian took the helmets of both of them. These actions gave Julian the nickname Mercurysbane.

Once Julian was promised a Lordship by Scott once the revolution was offer, Julian was named Head of House Hernandez and married Angelina Markussen of House Markussen, and eventually had Joseph Hernandez.

Eventually towards the end of Scott's Rebellion, Julian was devastated at the supposed deaths of the many children belonging to the Copper Bloodline and admitted silently to himself that he would have killed Scott had Julian find out Scott was the one who gave the order to have the children supposedly killed. Following the Rebellion, Julian was made the Right Hand to Scott Green and Lord of the San Fernando Valley.

## Personality

At first glance, Julian appears to be a sly and menacing member of the Empire, however this is all a facade for a righteous and honorable, if brutal individual. He is a ENTJ-A.

Julian is an overall kind and righteoussness, being dedicated to his tasks and duties on a level that is unparalleled, even if it puts his life on the line. For instance, following the death of Julian and Ryker's parents at the age of 18, Julian immediately adopted his 11 year old brother and gave him the best childhood he could, often prioritzing his younger brother over himself to the point where Julian would starve himself.

Just as well as Julian is loyal to the Empire, Julian is loyal to the civilians of Los Angeles and a man of his people, as demonstrated in one of Percy's Chapters where it's mentioned that Julian regularly helps out the civilians and has some of the better policies than the other cities in Los Angeles. Julian's loyalty to the Empire seems to hold no bounds however, following Scott's Rebellion after being given a poor hand with the position of Mayor of San Pedro rather than Santa Monica he had asked and nearly starving to death during the siege of Santa Monica, Julian didn't complain once about his situation and remained loyal to Scott Green.

Through his internal monologue, it's revealed that Julian himself isn't the most book smart person, but is very emotionally intelligent, being the most empathetic and sympathethic POV Character. He has trouble realizing that he's being manipulated by others and can't believe that any of the people he cares about would do anything wrong.

Despite his internal righteousness, Julian himself has a ruthless and violent side to him. Julian admits himself in his internal monologue that he would have killed Scott Green had Scott made a joke about the "dead" Copper Children. Having worked with both Revolutionist's and an Empire for years, Julian is an extremely experienced fighter, being unfazed by empty threats with the ability to keep calm in his fights. He often admits to himself while growing up that he admired ond of the most famous fighters of all time, Michael Copper, and was rather dissapointed he never got to battle him before Scott defeated Michael.

Julian keeps a strong team morale and relationship with his teamates, often being blunt and severe but fair to them, as well as giving them praise when he deems nessescary with a habit of choosing misfits for his teammates. He feels an extreme self confidence with what he does, being strongwilled in his beliefs and a strategic thinker. He's often both brave and conscious, and while ready to give his life for a mission, he will often attempt sneak attacks and unpredictable tricks during battle.

It's clear that many of the men Julian are working with in the San Fernando Valley were men that Julian had sympathized with, with Julian himself being overly sympathetic to others. Just as well, Julian had adopted his younger brother Ryker Hernandez when he himself had been only 18.

Julian struggles with being stubborn and impatient, often struggling with accepting other's ideas at first but becoming a much more emotionally intelligent as the book goes on. He tends to dig his heels in whenever he thinks that his way is the right way. When people are taking the time to think as well, Julian often gets annoyed.He tends to keep a stern, serious and unflinching attitude. He takes his responsibility as a leader and commander seriously, routinely taking reckless acts if it means saving the lives of those he fights. Within his internal monologue, it's clear that he focuses on often singular main goals with an objective in mind, with a facade of determination.
