Super Robot Wars 64/Characters

Brad Skywind
Male protagonist of the super route, Brad's a hot-blooded red-head who fights under the style Bukki-Hakken Ryuu under Master Viror Sunder, as well as rival Katz.

 * Less of an expy and more of an "upgraded model", as the Shadow-Mirror universe has a lot of similarities to the 64 World
 * Word of God Jossed this, stating 64 won't have a place in Super Robot Wars Original Generation, so expy will have to do.
 * Fish Out of Water (According to Katz, he rarely goes outside of his training method, so he gets awkward in normal situations)
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars (He has a cross shaped scar on his forehead, and though people label him a "bad boy", he's a good one)

 * Redheaded Hero
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni (He's the Red to Katz's Blue)
