[edit] Personality And Traits
18-year old 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). He 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.
Bullet is a Psychodriver and one of the few pilots capable of utilizing the T-Link System installed in such units as the Gespenst MK II Type TT. 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 Ryusei Date and Aya Kobayashi. During Original Generation 2, Bullet would form a brief rivalry with Neo Divine Crusaders', Yuuki Jaggar.
[edit] History
In the Alpha universe, Brooklyn 'Bullet' Luckfield started out as a student and a member of the kendo club in his local high school, which he attended with Kusuha Mizuha and the cast of Mazinger Z. When Baron Ashura and his forces attacked the school, and Kouji Kabuto goes out to meet him in battle, a plane crashes onto the school grounds. Bullet is injured in the crash, and briefly loses his memory. He is later recuited by Irmgult Kazahara, and is assigned to the Huckebein MK II, which he uses in battle in an attempt to stop Ingram Prisken from developing the machines of the SRX Team. This also brings him into combat against the Grungust Type-2, piloted by Kusuha, who has befriended the members of the SRX Team.
Bullet's destiny would be revealed to him when the RyuOhKi and the KoOhKi break free from Dr. Hell's control, exclaiming both he and Kusuha were destined to become their pilots. The two machines fuse with the Grungust Type-2 and form the legendary RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh. Bullet and Kusuha would utilize these super robots in their fight against the Aerogaters, and end the first war with the extraterrestrials. However, the Earth Federation orders the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh to be dismantled, but Bullet successfully saves both the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi and places them in hiding.
In Alpha 2, with the RyuOhKi in Kusuha's possession, Bullet would watch over the KoOhKi. However, he would slowly be controlled by the KoOhKi, which in turn, was controlled by Irui Ganeden. Under Irui's hypnosis, Bullet would engage the Alpha Numbers in combat multiple times, before breaking free of the mind-control. With the KoOhKi, he would combine with Kusuha's RyuJinKi and reform the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh. Siding with his allies again, he and Kusuha would defeat Irui Ganeden. However, the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi would sacrifice themselves in the final battle, in order to prevent the Earth from being sealed.
In Alpha 3, the RaiKou-Kai, developed by the Tesla Leicht Institute, would be handed down to Bullet for use, knowing the Earth would be invaded once again, just like the Aerogaters did. Sure enough, the Balmarians arrived, along with the mysterious Son Ganlong, who pilots the Shin RyuOhKi. However, Bullet's soul would be sealed within the newly formed Shin RyuKoOh, and would not reappear, until his reawakening with the Shin KoRyuOh. Bullet and Kusuha would continue fighting against Balmar and defeat Keisar Ephes, ending the war. Back on the Earth, Bullet stays in the Tesla Leicht Institute as a researcher, and finally asks for Kusuha's hand in marriage, after months of self-doubt and concern.
In the Original Generation universe, Bullet is already an Earth Federation Army pilot and student of the Jigen-Ryu tradition of swordsmanship, under the tutelage of 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 doesn't meet Kusuha until after the Divine Crusaders War, when he and the rest of the ATX Team are ordered to attack Kusuha and members of the SRX Team in a live-fire exercise. Bullet, upon discovering that a girl (Kusuha) is the pilot of the opposing Grungust Type-2, refuses to lay a hand on her. Although he is slightly reprimanded for his conduct, he is smitten with Kusuha the moment he sees her in person, but is too shy to display any romantic feelings for her.
In Original Generation 2, the story of how he and Kusuha become the pilots of the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh are similar to how they received the units in the Alpha universe, with some exceptions. Bullet and Kusuha piloted a Grungust Type-3, instead of a Grungust Type-2, and through the intervention of the Einst and Alfimi, the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi would awaken, and select the two to become their pilots, fusing with the Grungust. Bullet and Kusuha would use the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh for the rest of the second Divine Crusaders War, as well as against the Shadow-Mirror, Inspectors and the Einst. The events conclude with the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh stored inside the Tesla Leicht Institute, and Bullet being given another Grungust Type-3 to use, in the meantime.
In Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Animation, Bullet would use the Grungust Type-3 given to him and rescue Kusuha and members of the Aggressors from the Bartolls.
[edit] Trivia
With the release of Original Generation Gaiden, Bullet is the only Alpha Original to not have his own theme music in the OG timeline. It is likely that his Alpha 3 theme will appear in the next OG game.
