Bradios was a 19-year old human before the procedure that turned him into a cyborg, thus he has not physically aged past this point and still looks like he's in his late teens to early 20's. The Scanner-like device on his face is wired directly into his brain and thus cannot be removed. The shoulder pad he likes to wear is merely an accessory, primarily for the purpose of protecting his shoulder cannon from being damaged, and can be taken off like normal clothes.
Bradios is most often seen in casual clothing. His favorite is his tight-fitting black tanktop and baggy cargo pants.
Bradios is a member of the boyband The Straight Experience where he is considered to be The Big Brother archetype. He's the secondary vocalist alongside LG and has about as many fangirls as well. He has a good singing voice naturally, but is also able to autotune his voice on the fly even during live performances thanks to his vocal modulation software. Singing is also a way for him to blow off steam - literally - by converting the heat buildup in his cybernetic brain to soundwaves and release them.
Originally an optimistic young man from The Outback named Bradley who joined the Outbackian Army during the war with The Empire some 40-odd years back. It didn't take long for the tall and lanky Bradley to realize that he was not cut out for boot camp, let alone the front lines. Still wanting to be useful, Bradley signed up as an experimental test subject for something codenamed "The Overman Project". He had no idea what he was getting himself into.
Through the Project, Bradley endured the incredibly painful transformation of his body and mind into a being half-man, half-machine - the titular 'Overman'. Apparently the Outbackian Army thought that such a machine was what they needed to turn the tide of war and defeat The Empire once and for all. What they didn't count on was that Bradley's new 'Warmachine Mode', coupled with his confused and terrified human brain, would go haywire amidst the chaos of battle and turn on anyone with a weapon, Outbackian and Empire alike. In this berserk state, Bradley tore a brutal, bloody path across the battlefield in his native Outback before storming the shores to the Empire itself.
With the help of Tim - a scientist on the Overman Project - Bradley was able to come to his senses somewhat and his human mind regained control of his mechanized body. However, the two were now stranded on Empire shore, in the thick of the action, and Konungur Bones was very determined to capture this Overman that had decimated so much of his army. Leaving Tim behind in a safe place, Bradley began to scour the shores for a route to get them to safety and evade capture, and in the process came across a long-abandoned, almost ancient-looking building of smooth Metal carved into the face of the cliffside. The gigantic Metal door seemed to beckon for Bradley to come inside, and so he did.
Inside this incredible sanctuary of ancient technology, Bradley came across a centuries-old system of sorts. When he interfaced with it, a mechanized voice called out inside his brain - identifying itself as the Arkios System, which had long awaited the one capable of awakening it. Bradley's very being was merged with the code of the Arkios System, and he was once again reborn. Now a composite of Bradley and Arkios, he christened himself by the new name of Bradios. The cyborg then issued a single command to the systems of the temple - transport him and Tim somewhere safe, somewhere free from the chaos of the war.
Hearing his command, the temple ripped the very land upon which it stood out from the ground and high, high into the sky, floating directly above The Empire. Now with a new safe haven to call his own, Bradios decided he would build a true, Neutral Nation separate from the war-torn governments of The Outback and Empire, a place of refuge for those whose lives were torn apart by the senseless violence just like his was. And thus, His Neutralness Bradios began his days as the leader of the Neutral Nation...
He's also a great singer and dancer, which is why he's one of the most popular members of The Straight Experience.
Weaknesses: Ice, Bleach, EMPs, Magic. As a creature of science Bradios fears the reality-warping powers of Magic and is terrified of fighting mages, even though realistically he should be plenty capable of fighting toe-to-toe with them. It's more of a mental weakness/phobia than a physical one. Ice mages are particularly terrifying because they CAN seriously damage his metal body.
He is a Neutral at his heart as well, swearing off war and fighting after the events 40 some-odd years ago. The idea of running amok like that again terrifies him, so he is weak against situations that place many lives in danger - especially if he feels that he is helpless to save them, or if he could end up putting them in greater danger by trying...
Weapon/Combat Power of Choice: His body was originally designed as a war machine and contains within it a large arsenal of heavy weaponry. Though he lives for the sake of Neutrality now, he is very capable of operating these weapons if the situation calls for it. However these weapons carry enough power to literally cut through huge swaths of men (being designed for use in the war) and can be quite difficult to control, so he tries to avoid using them outside of emergencies. Unless he absolutely has to, Bradios does not like to hurt people, and fears the damage he could cause by activating these warmachine systems.
Instead Bradios prefers to use external weapons for smaller skirmishes rather than his dangerous internal artillery. His go-to weapon is an ordinary-looking black handgun that he's able to charge with his Lightning element to fire off plasma rounds. Since it fires elemental energy rather than bullets, and his cybernetic body cannot easily become exhausted, this makes his ammunition essentially infinite.
