CHARACTER NAME: Bruno ("Bro" ) Strider
FANDOM: Homestuck
GENDER: Cis Male
SPECIES: Human
ORIENTATION: Undefined (touch-starved, occasionally adventurous, most encounters are drunken one-night stands that have no bearing on his romantic life, of which there has never really been much of)
AGE: 43
BIRTHDAY: 12/3/1975
EDUCATION: Master's in Robotics Engineering, Bachelor's in Computer Science.
SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND: Poor (childhood, young adulthood) Upper middle class (currently).
JOB: Landlord, robotics engineer, indie niche filmmaker.
PERSONALITY: INTJ-A, the Architect. Bruno is outwardly a calculating and aloof individual with a great deal of self-confidence to the point of arrogance, but he maintains this as a long-held facade. In reality, he cares a great deal about what one or two individuals who he feel are worthy of his attention think of him and is overly anxious and sort of a doormat with them. He's horrifically out of touch with his emotions, making his romantic side nonexistent and making him volatile and unpredictable when he's feeling something strongly. In short: fine to know casually, though not terribly likable, inadvisable to try and get close to.
HISTORY: Born in Aekea, Bruno grew up in the foster care system and had a kid too young with a partner who didn't stick around. He did his general courses in a community college until he'd situated himself on a regular enough income (via his filmmaking and programming skills) to attend a university and put his son in daycare. A few years later he was declared to be an unfit parent and parted ways with Dave, though this didn't alter his educational goals or change his course load in any way. In the end, he graduated with honors and turned his focus back to his personal life, which eventually brought him to the Isle of Gambino.
APPEARANCE: Tall and built like a boxer with light brown skin and bleached white blonde hair, Bruno has numerous scars and dull orangeish eyes. He constantly has bandages stuck on either his fingers or his face, evidence of doing dangerous work and frequenting the sparring hall. He has a few piercings in each ear, though he has a terrible tendency to remove the studs, forget to put them back in, let the holes close, and have to get them repierced.
POWERS IF APPLICABLE: Noteworthy agility and strength in combat, though it's nothing superhuman or otherwise magical.
EXTRA DETAILS: He's a huge nerd who smokes, drinks, and eats too much junk food.

DIFFERENTIATIONS FROM CANON: Bro Strider was never instrumental in the creation of Sburb, leaving him free to focus on his interest in robotics and to accrue wealth. He also no longer has contact with the Dave he raised and hasn't since before Dave hit puberty. He's much more mellow as a result of acting as his own agent.
