[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
bruce is the most hedonistic super-hero you will ever meet in your life; born with an unending appetite for pleasure and fun and excitement and pure adrenaline, bruce values most things in life by how much enjoyment they can give him. it so happens, super-heroism is the most supreme form of fun for him, the one thing in life that makes him feel more alive than anything else in this world. he's fun-loving to a fault, able to smell excitement like a blood hound, a party boy down to his very marrow. this desire for fun and cheer also gives him an effervescent aura, a shining beacon of positivism and brightness. he loves life so much it hurts and he treats every second like a precious diamond, wanting to preserve every part of it and savor it until he's numb to the taste of it. he's genuinely horrified by people who prefer to just lay around and sleep; how can you sleep when there is life to be lived?
this lust for life manifests in a man so fearless, so oblivious to the idea of his own mortality, that it's a super-power in of itself. he never once considers that the situation could somehow result in his death and he'll simply leap into battle without a second glance, diving into the fray with swinging fists and a shit-eating grin. his fearlessness makes him impulsive and reckless; his absence of a sense of self-preservation makes him prone to never once weigh the impact of his actions and throw planning completely out of the window. bruce is the type to think about planning and execution after the gunfire has already started, the bomb technician who simply starts clipping away at wires before actually seeing what they're connected to. this makes him cocky as well, giving him an wholly undeserved level of confidence in his abilities. he's the type to face an elemental super with an stark advantage, thinking there is no way he'll walk out this fight the loser. his recklessness should be not be mistaken for stupidity however; due to his abilities, bruce is terrifyingly cunning and crafty. while he's quick to jump to conclusion that punching his way through is sufficient, once he sits back and formulates a plan, he becomes a master tactician.
while most people assume bruce doesn't truly take heroism seriously due to his fun-loving behavior, anyone who knows him well enough knows that he's overflowing with compassion; he absolutely hates to see people suffering needlessly. he despises murder and death in all forms, seeing anyone who is willing to take away life as the lowest scum of the earth. he wants to protect everything and everyone; nothing on this earth deserves to die except those who would callously deal out death. to bruce, life is the most wonderful gift that can be given and everyone should be able to enjoy it. even then, he struggles with the idea of killing someone who might genuinely deserve that fate. when he sees those who needlessly cause pain, it can easily trigger his infamous hot-temper, drawing forth a rage that most people are startled to witness from him. while he may come off as affectionate to the point of downright maternal, his temper is something that can be easily sparked and when it's sparked, it goes off like a cannon. his fists cannot be stayed and his ire will not be quelled until it has run it's course, when the desire to deal out pain has lessened.
his huge frame and inborn talent for inflicting severe bodily harm contrasts against his affectionate behavior. he's been described as being "way too fucking touchy"; he oftentimes finds it physically impossible to not display his affection for others, often pulling them into impromptu hugs or pinching the cheeks of anyone he finds particularly adorable. bruce loves people immensely, making him overly friendly and borderline naive; despite having much reason for cynicism, he deeply believes that the horrible people he's encountered are the minority and the majority of humanity are beautiful creatures that must be loved.
perhaps the catalyst for his cross-dressing tendencies or the side-effect of it, bruce is shockingly vain, being overly concerned about his physical looks. he's under the impression he is an adonis in high heels, a modern-day hercules with wonderful taste in nail polish. he spends hours each morning mussing about with his hair and going through his wardrobe, meticulously assembling his outfit the way an assassin assembles his rifle. this need for his physical looks to be appreciated stems from a deep lack of self-worth. nagging away in the back of his mind is a little voice that tells him he's not important, a minor little thing inconsequential to the universe and that all his desire to be beautiful is to cover up the fact that he feels ugly and worthless on the inside.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- bruce was born in new orleans, lousiana, son of a local jazz musician and a famous chef. bruce, from an early age, was a curious case for two reasons; first, he was a big kid for his age, wide of chest and broad-shouldered, something tended to scare other kids on his block. the other was that bruce had a leaning towards some peculiar hobbies, particularly his fashion. bruce felt more comfortable in skirts and sun-dresses as opposed to boots and jeans. at first, his parents thought it some type of weirdo phase, but when bruce demanded to dress as megara from "hercules" as opposed to going as actually hercules, they knew this was a part of him that was to stay.
the constant bullying was harsh; he was a big child, naturally strong, but was never much of a fighter. it started with just hateful phrases;they would call him a variety of names from "tranny" to "girly boy". soon, this wasn't enough for them and he began to get dragged into fights. once the kids realized that despite his size, bruce had no intention of fighting back, the fights were constant. wanting to defend himself, he joined both the local wrestling and boxing gym.
he quickly showed a remarkable aptitude for combat, showing physical skill/strength far beyond his years. it wasn't until he was jumped again by one of the local gangs that his powers blossomed. his abilities kicked in and turned him into a one-man wrecking crew. within seconds, he made sure not a single one of the twenty kids who attacked him left with less than three broken bones. naturally, bruce's fight caused a spectacle and the police apprehended him. because he had abilities, they didn't consider his actions officially "self-defense" and was offered two choices: attend Vireximus in an attempt to control his powers or face charges for several counts of assault. Obviously not wanting to spend any time in jail, he considered himself much too pretty for that, Bruce reluctantly signed up for Vireximus Academy.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PRIMARY POWER: ENHANCED PHYSICAL CONDITION: bruce's main power is that his physiology is enhanced to the point where his physical abilities are the pinnacle of human potential and somewhat beyond. his strength allows him to bench press roughly 850 lbs and can run at 30 mph in a full sprint. his reflexes allow him to snatch a fly out of the air without looking and his body's resilience allows him to take significant blunt force trauma with minor injuries. however, bruce is still entirely human. while his strength is significantly enhanced, it does not reach super-human levels; he may be able to flip your car over with enough exertion, but he can't pick it up with one hand and chuck it at you. in other words, someone with genuine super-human ability in a physical attribute will still outclass him. moreso, his resilience does not make him invincible; while able to endure great blunt trauma, he's still vulnerable to edged and piercing trauma, so bullets and blades can kill him. it might just take a little longer for him to go down. bruce is still developing his abilities and is theorized to increase his physical abilities, but they have a definite threshold and he will cap out at some point in time.
SECONDARY POWER: ENHANCED MENTAL PROCESS: bruce's mind works at astonishing speeds, allowing him to process multiple streams of information nearly simultaneously and respond in an swift efficient manner. this makes him gifted in the art of the tactician, able to work out various threats and incoming battle factors on the fly, his brain working out several plans of actions in an astonishingly short amount of time. this applies to his ability to multi-task as well, allowing him to play a game of chess, read a novel and do a crossword puzzle at the same time with no decrease in mental speed. this does not, despite what most people believe, make him a super-genius. bruce's actual intelligence is still human, meaning while he may be able to think up cunning plans on the fly, he will never truly understand quantum physics or able to solve complex mathematical equations. in his own words, his brain is simply faster, but not necessarily more powerful.
