Relatives/Relationships: Godmother Luna Goldberg (mother), Aureo Shiro (rival)

Occupation: 2nd Year Student (start of the story), mob soldier

Weapon: The Alchemist – a pair of axes with guns attached to Bruno’s shins, capable of firing off Dust bullets. The axes can be rotated around the shin for different striking angles.

Semblance: The King’s Touch – Bruno can turn anything he touches into gold for a VERY limited amount of time. Usually no more than a few seconds or so. If he spends all of his Aura the duration will increase to just under a minute or so, but obviously it’s going to be an investment. He can also keep the duration going if he decides to never let go of whatever he is touching, although this will burn through his Aura very quickly. In combat it has a few uses, mainly in immobilizing the opponent, making them lose the mobility advantage. On its own, it won’t be enough to kill anybody, since most people would revert back to normal before they could really suffocate, on top of the semblance not actually doing any lasting physical harm to them. Plus Bruno would have to physically touch the opponent for this to work so anybody who can fight at a distance is probably going to give this tactic some trouble.

Fighting Style: Bruno’s fighting style is very reminiscent of Aureo Shiro’s fighting style where he utilizes a lot of acrobatic and precise kicks, a little Tae Kwon Do here, a little kickboxing there. He rarely ever use punches since he prefers using his hands to perform his semblance on his opponents.

HISTORY:

Son to Godmother Luna Goldberg, Boss of the Goldberg crime family, one of the most powerful mob families (or in this AU universe called Fawnu family) in all of Atlas, specializing in loan sharking and bootlegging, mainly alcohol. It just so happened that the Goldberg family had recently acquired a little wine company which belonged to the father of Aureo Shiro.

Godmother Goldberg wished to groom Bruno into the family business, wanting him to take over once she retired. But Bruno was simply nowhere near as passionate and vicious about the family business as she was. So for now she decided to keep him as simply one of the family’s soldiers and enrolled him in Atlas Academy in hopes of teaching her son to defend himself and teaching him social skills in order to widen their connections.

School life was, however, not easy for Bruno, because everybody around him was simply too afraid of getting whacked so they didn’t want to have anything to do with him. He didn’t have many friends. And those who he could call his friends are his teammates, who were a bunch of dysfunctional and crazy people.

PERSONALITY/TRAITS:

Bruno is a rather calm and reserved individual. He’s fairly soft spoken and mostly kind to people around him. He tries his best to get to know his team leader Iris but alas, the task would prove to be impossible since Iris is an asshole and the only one who can deal with her is her rival Charlie. Bruno does have some strong opinions about this matter, thinking that it’s wrong for Iris to ignore the rest of her teammates. Trying his best to make her see a new perspective with varying degrees of success. In the end, Bruno decides to just take things one step at a time since Iris is such a tough nut to crack.

Bruno slowly developed a little bit of a friendly rivalry between him and Shiro due to the similarities in fighting style, determined to prove that he’s a better fighter than her. Unbeknownst to him, Shiro is the daughter of the man who Bruno’s family bought the wine company from, thus unaware of Shiro’s legitimate feeling of animosity towards him and his family.

Bruno carries a lot of familial values, he cares deeply for his family, but he is not blind to the true nature of Le Beste Fawnu. He feels very conflicted seeing so many shades of dark grey in the crime families. In some aspects, the Fawnu Assembly provides security, business ventures, opportunities. On the other hand the life of crime is a life soaked in vices, lies, betrayal, blood of the people, constant fear from the authority and other mobsters alike. Bruno really does not know what to do. Deep down he still wants to please his mother and become a leader she groomed him to be, but it is difficult for a passive soft spoken person like him, and sometimes he feels like he is letting everybody down due to his own shortcomings.
