Timeline

Timeline:
1997: Born in England along with his twin sister, Betsy.
1997-2016: He grows to become a brilliant and dashing young man. He attends a private school and passes through his classes swiftly due to his absolute genius intellect. He is welcomed into Cambridge at sixteen and earns his Bachelors in Physics at eighteen years of age.
2017: At nineteen, he discovers his father's lab being broken into by a group of villains. Brian escapes, only to have his motorcycle plummet over the edge of a cliff. As he lies dying, he is approached by Merlyn. The legendary wizard says he will save Brian's life if he becomes Britain's new champion. He is offered to choose between the Amulet of Right or the Sword of Might. Unable to see himself as a warrior at the time, he chooses the Amulet and becomes Captain Britain.
2017-2020: He serves the public good as Captain Britain, becoming quite famous. Meanwhile, he earns his Masters. Eventually, Merlyn replaces his Amulet with his suit, this working as an antenna for the magical power while Brian is outside of the UK. Able to continue his stint as Captain Britain while in America, he accepts an offer to pursue his Doctorate in Theoretical Physics at Gotham University.
2022: While dealing with an issue in an Alternate Earth, Brian was killed and then remade by Merlyn. The legendary wizard decided to anchor Brian's powers within him rather than to his suit. These powers are now sustained by his confidence and heritage as the son of a denizen of the Otherworld.

2024: Brian and his Otherworldian paramour welcome Lily Elizabeth Braddock into the world. Mother and daughter split their time between the UK and Otherworld for now.

Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Confident:
His number one strength, his number one weakness: confidence. Brian steadfastly believes he's meant to use his powers for the betterment of mankind. This may mean fighting to the bitter, bloody end and he won't flinch from this.

Courageous:
Courage may not mean the absence of fear, but it does mean doing the right thing despite its presence. Sometimes, Brian should be held back by his collar because the correct answer isn't always the first answer.

Humanitarian:
Firstly a protector, Brian chooses to lift up and support his teammates rather than take the glory for himself. This carries over into his civilian life where he can be found at fundraisers of all kinds for the people and by the people. He might have some moderate influence via connections to the Crown as Lord Braddock, but it applies more in the UK than anywhere else.

Mannered:
Stuffy? Charming? It depends on who you talk to. Brian carries himself with self-confidence in social situations and doesn't mind swimming with the sharks, but only to a point. He can easily grow cutting and cold.

Powers

Interdimensional Powers:
His powers come from interdimensional energies focused around the UK in the different dimensions as well as the Otherworld itself. After returning to life via Merlyn's intervention in another reality, his powers now source from his self-confidence. As confidence holds, so they remain stable. As confidence wanes, so they weaken. He has the following abilities with or without his suit present:

Strength: He is able to normally lift as much as Spider-Man. However, when accessing the amplification abilities of the Amulet of Right and at peak confidence in himself, Brian can briefly reach the upper ranks of super strength. Only Superman, The Hulk, and their like can exceed him.

Stamina: He builds up less fatigue toxins. Peak exertion can be sustained for up to 24 hours before he begins to fatigue.

Durability: He is surrounded by an invisible forcefield which makes him incredibly resistant to physical damage. He can withstand artillery such as bazooka shells and take the brunt of superhuman punches. Repeated blows from a source with enough power will weaken and eventually shatter the force field around him. This forcefield does not protect from air-based attacks, so a knock-out gas could do the trick.

Agility and Reflexes: His balance and grace far exceeds what is possible of an Olympic athlete.

Senses: He has improved senses and he can focus to increase them further. He can zoom in visually on something far away or listen to a conversation on the other side of a building. His taste and smell and sense of touch can also be enhanced. When his focus breaks, so does the stream of input.

Flight: He is able to fly around 770 miles per hour, breaking the speed of sound.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

Academia:
A long-time avid reader, he can quote many of the classics. His interests span across many topics including history, anthropology, and art. Don't think he sticks to hardback books alone; many blogs receive his attention as well.

Combat:
Learned in various combat techniques such as mixed martial arts as well as boxing, the man can hold his own against a number of skilled fighters. Generally speaking, subduing a foe is his go-to. Very rarely does he kill.

Genius:
Certifiably brilliant, it takes very little time for Brian to reach understanding about information. Intaking and processing it is second nature to him, allowing him to come up with answers to situations at an astonishing speed.

Masters and Phd:
Having attained a Masters in Physics and Engineering, he now focuses on earning a PhD in Theoretical Physics from Gotham University.

Society:
One doesn't have old money without learning some manners to go with it. Decorum and charm come easily to the man, he most comfortable in settings where etiquette is required. Now, down on the streets? He can seem stuffy.

Amulet of Right:
Chosen by the man when Merlyn first approached him about becoming Captain Britain, the Amulet was partially a source of Brian's powers for a number of years. After Brian being remade by Merlyn, however, the Amulet is now an amplifier of physical strength when on his person. It's kept in a vault in his mansion to be accessed only when necessary.

Billionaire:
The Braddock family is old money. He is a Lord, and his money is tied to the vast wealth of the family. Most of the money is tied up in credit, bonds, investments and material possessions and property and such, but he can call on enough money to generally buy what he wants or do what he wants.

Castle:
He has access to the family castle back in Essex, which is fully maintained while he is away. It is a lovely old castle, and he sometimes finds himself returning there for holidays.

Hellfire Club:
He is a full member of the Hellfire Club, as his family has held membership for a long, long time. He has only attended a few events, but is interested in getting more involved with the group. The contacts alone are worth it.

Mansion:
When arriving in Gotham, Brian purchased an old mansion from another family of note. Dating back to the 18th century and old modes of Gotham, it has sprawling grounds which rush up to a cliffside view. Modern amenities abound.

Nobility:
Brian is a British Lord. That comes with all kinds of political and economical benefits, though most of them only really apply in the UK.

Sister:
He has an amazing sister in Betsy Braddock. They are loving twins, though, like any siblings they sometimes butt heads. Generally, however, they can rely on one another.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Confidence and Powers:
Since Brian was remade by Merlyn, his powers now base from his confidence levels. They can wax or wane pending on his sense of self-belief. This means anyone who can puncture that confidence can land a devastating blow on him - literally.

James Jr:
Nothing like family to throw a wrench in things. His older brother, James Braddock Jr, is a decade older and a major issue to the Braddock family. Exiled from the family for villainous deeds, James has taken on the name 'Monarch' and uses dark magic to attempt to manipulate realities to his liking.

Rogues Gallery:
One doesn't act the hero without annoying some villains. Some magical, some mundane, all are out to ruin Brian in whatever manner they can manage. He has to weigh the risks to loved ones in all that he does.

Secret Identity:
Very few people know how Brian is the legendary Captain Britain. It's difficult to keep this secret intact, so those few who know are deeply trusted.
