Brahaan

# About

## Personality

Brahaan is an intelligent, compassionate and insightful person. He was a police officer before quitting and joining the military. He is a full-fledged detective with a strong sense of justice, even to a fault.

He is headstrong and gets annoyed at people for doing things which he heavily disagrees. Yet he is polite, respectful and humble. His time in the military has taught him to be patient, cool-headed and rational, even under stressful situations.

Yet, if he were ever to face loss, he is quick to recover from the trauma. However, he believes it to be a flaw, stating that it makes him cold-hearted and unfeeling. It sometimes disturbs him on how quickly he can get over those things.

## Backstory

**Bearing.**

Kanaan Kamil’s happiness knew no bounds when his wife, Mary gave birth to his first and only child. He rushed inside the room, ignoring the matron’s words. He wanted to see this little bundle of joy that lay peacefully next to his unconscious wife. The baby was not asleep. In fact, his curious little pair of green eyes peeked through the cot to take a look at his father.

He smiled.

Kanaan smiled.

**Nurture.**

Kanaan and Mary were proud of their son. Brahaan as he was named, had grown from a playful and curious kid to a smart and sensible adolescent. But around this time, the war broke out. This worried the boy. His worries worsened when his father was drafted to fight for the country.

Before going away, Kanaan gave him the responsibility of the house. And Brahaan took it like a man, promising his father to take care of his mother. During this time, he had made quite a few friends, Juliana was one among them.

**Surge.**

Brahaan graduated from school with a decent score and decided to join the police force. He started from a Junior Constable post, working as an apprentice to senior cops, learning the art of sleuth work. All was going well when a piece of heartbreaking news rattled him to the core. His father had died in the war. He wanted to cry, he wanted to scream. But he had a mother to take care of. Hence, breaking down now wasn't an option. After the funeral, he enlisted in the army himself and bid adieu to his mother to serve the organisation that his father died fighting for.

**Conflicts.**

War changes every man it involves.

Brahaan was no exception to this saying. He made new friends, lost them a few hours later. He charged at the enemy in the grimy uniform, in unison with his fellow soldiers, shooting, bayonetting and blasting his enemies. He was fighting for his country. But his nationalist enthusiasm and fervour came to a tragic end when he was blown away by a grenade. The boy lost his eye, a part of his gut and was paralysed from the spine and down, as the war ended.

**Aftermath.**

The hospital was like a second home for Brahaan. He spent almost a year in the building as doctors tried their best to fix him. But the damage was permanent. It was during his stay in the medical facility, he made friends with another disabled war hero, Kacper. Now our friend here was well versed in the satanic rituals and dark magic in general.

The two of them were discharged on the same day from the hospital. They met in an abandoned building, exactly a week later. Kacper had prepared everything for the seance. Now all he needed was Brahaan’s cooperation. Initially hesitant about the process, Brahaan had finally given in to the idea of regaining his lost body parts.

The summoning is successful, and to Brahaan’s horror, the massive demon of the Norse mythology- Ymir- the one before all, appeared in front of them. Kacper made the deal, Ymir gracefully accepted their conditions, and without even stating her own, proceeded to grant the powers to Brahaan at the cost of Kacper. It was a human sacrifice.

**Climax.**

It was the sofmer on 1924 when Brahaan was married to Juliana. It was against his wishes… he never loved her. But he did like her and respected her as an individual. Marital tensions were something he wanted to avoid, so he took the role of a dutiful husband, even though he did not want to. A lot had changed within him. For instance, he almost never expressed any sort of emotions, his hair had turned white and he himself had turned pale.

Ever since he was possessed, he had decided to develop his skills in using combat and magic, and had joined the A.D.D Agency, which the government had recently launched to curb any sort of demonic rituals that brought the ethereal beings into our realm. He honed himself there, wielding demon killer weapons and learning more about magic. He wanted to stop another Kacper from losing his life to such a horrific ritual.

**Epilogue.**

How long can things go right in a man’s life? In the autumn of 1929, Juliana had went outside to buy some vegetables. Brahaan returned to an empty home. And the home remained empty ever since. Juliana had disappeared. This made Brahaan really ashamed and angry upon himself. After months of searching her, he finally got a lead to the abandoned town.

He stumbled upon a building, in which light flickered in one of the rooms. He entered the house, just to find that it had been turned into a slaughterhouse, with the walls and floors stained crimson and parts of human organs were lying scattered. Amongst the bloody mess, Brahaan could make out a few things- the wedding ring he exchanged with Juliana, her favorite baby blue dress, and a letter, soaked in red and barely readable.

It was addressed to him. The handwriting belonged to Juliana. He folded the paper and kept it with him, also taking the wedding ring, he walked out of the place.

The following day, he submitted his resignation to the A.D.D and signed up with the Exorcists. His aim was now not only preventing the otherworldly creatures from coming to earth, but to also cleanse the planet of the existing demons, who ravaged the society.

## Ability

### Ymir’s Boon

1. Ymir has bestowed upon him her powers in return of human sacrifice and had left him with white hair. The book consists of the following powers:
Restoration: Regenerates lost body tissues and heals wounds while emanating hot steam from the healing area. It only takes place in the presence of a strong source of light.

Most preferably sunlight (daytime)
	* Superficial cuts and wounds, sprains, bruises healed instantly.
	* Broken bones, organ damage, internal bleedings healed in 1turn
	* Multiple organ damage, fatal injuries healed in 2 turns
	* Severed fingers, toes ears, nose, eye, etc. damage healed in 2 turns
	* Severed limbs heal one at a time in 3 turns

Brain and spinal injuries cannot be healed.
	* In presence of artificial light source, healing time increases by 1 turn.
	* After one heal, cooldown of 2 turns.
	* Can not be used for 2 turns before/after Titanshift
	* Can not be used in dim light or darkness.
2. Titanshift: Can summon huge humanoid, which develops around his body centred at the nape of the humanoid. Brahaan can consciously control this humanoid as long as he is inside it. The titan has goblin-like facial features, well-built frame and his eyes and hair resemble that of Brahaan before he was possessed. It is extremely lightweight for its size, due to lack of internal organs. Its body contains only eyes, hair, nails, teeth, skin, flesh and bones. This gives the titan agility, manoeuvrability and speed that can catch his opponents off guard if they judge him by his huge appearance. The titan starts dissolving when Brahaan exits its body.

1 turn formation time.

Cooldown: 6 turns after deactivated/destroyed

	* Other abilities cannot be used when using this ability.
	* It cannot heal damage of any kind
	* Impalement/slashing nape will render it useless, might also kill Brahaan if a cut is deeper than 10cm.
	* Joints are the Achilles heel, Nat. is 10kN there, including the nape.
3. Ymir’s perception: The eye he had lost in the war, was replaced by another eye which has a latent ability to detect and categorise a demonic/daemonic soul or entity on the basis of its nature (positive/negative), power (rank) and type (primordial, angel, monster,etc.).

It remains active all the time.

## Pact or Catalyst

Pact with Ymir caused him the life of his dear friend as a human sacrifice, turned his hair white and made him unable to express his feelings physically.

Ymir is not actually possessing him until he is in the titan form. The primordial Nordic being can influence his decisions when in Titan form.
