Name: Braig Dougherty
Nickname: Ăire or Eire (pronounced like erja), Wonder Shot
Age: 16
Sign: Sagittarius
Gender: Male
Height: 180 cm
Weight: 59 Kg
Oddities: His Irish accent is blatantly obvious but most of the time he's completely understandable. He also has a near supernatural affinity for plants, and as such, always likes being outdoors in the spring and summer.
Zodiac Abilities:
-Sure Shot-
Braig, born with the abilities of the archer, has the ability to manipulate projectiles. From arrows to basketballs, anything that can but shot, thrown or launched can be under his control. However, this ability is limited to only his own projectiles and as he is still learning about his powers, it's very hard to control. The faster something moves, the harder it is for him to change its course and something like a bullet is nearly impossible currently. Often times, Braig becomes distracted, causing his ability to send projectiles in any direction.
- Cold Blooded -
Sagittarius, being a fire sign, is fairly immune to heat. This is no different for Braig. While he grew up in Ireland, Braig absolutely despises the cold. When cold weather hits, he stays inside where it's warm. When summer rolls around though, stay out of his way. The heat is a near infinite source of energy for Braig. He does absolutely everything he can when it gets hot out, and even when temperatures are in the hundred degree Fahrenheit range, it never slows him down.
Main Zodiac Power:
Longarm's Bond
LOCKED
Longarm Lugh, the Irish high king of old, was a mythic warrior and great leader of his people. A master of nearly every weapon, Lugh was a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield and one of Braig's very early ancestors. When Braig uses this ability, he inherits the prowess of the Longarm as well as an extremely high tolerance for pain. While he can still be injured and killed in this state, it would take nothing short of losing a limb to take Braig out of the fight. His injuries catch up with him fairly quickly when he returns to normal however, and this ability tires him out at a moderate speed, forcing him to revert sooner or later.
Zodiac Level: 1
Nationality: Irish/Celtic
Sexuality: Straight
Romantic Interest: TBD
Allies/Friends: TBD
Enemies: TBD
Personality: Braig is the kind of person you'd want to go out drinking with. If he were legally allowed to. Light hearted and ever smiling, Braig is full of bad ideas that always end in some entertaining way, but also force him to run from any authority (laughing the entire way of course). With a strong moral compass, Braig knows wrong from right and typically will not stray from these lines unless the wrong is minuscule and the entertainment outweighs it. However, entertainment means nothing to him if his friends are in peril. Braig's loyalty knows no bounds, simply because his friends are his family and he would do anything to protect them.
As well as being loyal and entertaining, Braig is a severe case of HRS or Hopeless Romantic Syndrome. A flirt to the end, Braig shamelessly tries to get the numbers of nearly every girl he meets, regardless of their relationship status, sexual preference or any number of factors. Most of these endeavors however, end in failure. This doesn't upset him but instead, spurs him forward.

Bio: Braig was the only child of a single Irish mother, Catherine. Born just outside Dublin, in Blackrock, Braig's days began and ended with soccer. Every day, walking to school, he'd juggle his ratty old soccer ball between his feet while walking, often resulting in him tripping over cracks in the sidewalks. Immediately after class let out, he'd sprint to the nearby park and practice with his team until sundown.
Catherine, Braig's mother, was a moderately successful woman, running the Dogwood Tree, a local pub and the lower floor of their home. She knew about her son's gift as most Zodiac parents do, but decided to keep it from him in hopes that he wouldn't gain powers, but instead, grow up as a normal child. About a week after his fifteenth birthday however, she realized that this was not possible, as during a championship elimination game, Braig's team was tied close to the end of the game. Praying for a miracle, Braig kicked the ball from just past half field. The shot, he knew, was impossible, as it would have to pass two defenders and the keeper for the goal, but there was no time left. The shot curved in a glorious arc from his foot, touching the out of bounds line and back towards the goal, where it nearly doubled back and slid under the diving goalie, just as Braig vainly hoped for. That evening, after Catherine had finished cleaning her establishment, she told Braig the truth.
Braig was astonished at this information, and immediately took pride in it, but his mother tried to keep it under wraps. For a time it worked, but eventually word got out about the "Wonder Shot" kid, and Catherine knew he couldn't hide forever. Braig, seeing the opportunity to travel to and play in all different venues, signed onto a soccer club, becoming their youngest member on his sixteenth birthday. However, it wasn't long before he and his mother were contacted by the Seraphic Academy, and with a heavy heart, but optimistic smile, Braig set off on an entirely new adventure.
