[edit] Personality And Traits

Brooklyn Luckfield, or Bullet, as most characters address him, speaks in an oddly archaic form of Japanese. He is easily flustered, especially around women, and often suffers nosebleeds (a Japanese gag that implies he is aroused). This leads to teasing by teammates and other running jokes (in one incident, Remi, a pilot of the robot GoShogun, suggested they take a bath together. An irate Kusuha Mizuha insisted on joining them and the resulting nosebleed caused Bullet to faint).

Bullet practices swordsmanship and is quite skilled, too (iai-do). In the Alpha universe, he was a member of the kendo club in the high school he attended with Kusuha (as well as the Mazinger Z pilots), while in the Original Generation universe, he was already an Earth Federation Army pilot and student of the Jigen-Ryu tradition of swordsmanship under Master Rishu Togo, alongside his senior, Sanger Zonvolt, to whom he shows great respect for. (In the Alpha universe, Bullet will not actually meet Sanger until Alpha 3, and it is directly from Sanger that he trains to refine his skills).

Bullet is deeply in love with Kusuha, but was unable to truly act on it until Alpha 3, when she began to succumb to despair. He is very protective of both Kusuha and their adopted daughter, Irui, the former priestess of Nashim Ganeden.

In the Original Generation universe, Bullet doesn't meet Kushua until after the Divine Crusaders war, when he and the rest of the ATX team are ordered to attack Kushua and members of the SRX Team in a live-fire training battle. Bullet is smitten with Kusuha the moment he sees her in person, but is too shy to display any romantic feelings for her. He also develops a brief rivalry against Yuuki Jegnan, a Neo Divine Crusaders ace pilot, during the events of Original Generation 2.

In Original Generation, Bullet was revealed to be a Psychodriver, and one of the few pilots capable of utilizing the T-Link System installed in such units as the Gespenst MK II Test Type. This allows him to use certain weapons, such as the T-Link Ripper and other mentally-controlled weapons. His abilities are rarely used in the Original Generation story, compared to other Psychodrivers, such as Aya Kobayashi and Ryusei Date.

In battle, Bullet originally used a variety of martial arts weapons, such as spears and nunchaku. In recent games, to demonstrate his swordsmanship, he uses more sword-based attacks. His trademark weapon is the Shishioh Blade, a mecha-sized katana, customized for his use.
