IC Information
CHARACTER NAME; Dustin Brooks
AGE; 26
CANON; Power Rangers Ninja Storm
CANON POINT; About sometime several years after his last canon appearance around 2011.
FAMILY TYPES; Nature Spirits, Virus Busters, Wind Guardians,
APPEARANCE; Dustin is pretty average build-wise, with messy dark brown hair with a moderate hint of athletic muscle. Not overy so, but enough that it's a little noticeable. He's fairly tall and thin with an estimate of his height around 5'9/5'10. Though he's now older than he was when he was a Power Ranger he doesn't look much different other than his hair is slightly straighter and neater, and he's slightly taller. Other than that, he's basically the same at 18/19 that he is now.
PERSONALITY; To put Dustin's personality bluntly, he's a people person. Overly cheerful, he's as friendly as someone can be saving the world. He is the "comic book geek" of the Wind Rangers, and was a fan of previous Rangers, who were considered urban legend, visible when they are first given morphers and he is the first to morph and (in turn) show Shane and Tori how to morph. He is somewhat naive and gullible as he has been used by one of Lothor's nieces Marah, but still retains his good natured outlook on life. Dustin has a bit of sympathy for Marah as they are both over looked by their colleagues and consider stupid by the others. Dustin actually will try to cheer up anyone down in the dumps, even if that person happens to be an enemy. He is very close to fellow Rangers Tori and Shane, having been childhood friends with both of them. Despite this, others tend to look down on him being a complete goofball and even a fool as stated by the Rangers' enemy Lothor. Dustin takes everything in stride however, and very few things bother him for very long. What he lacks in perspective or smarts, he makes up for it in heart. Dustin believes that most people are generally good and trustworthy, even if their previous actions might have you look otherwise he feels that there's good in almost everyone.
However if his trust is betrayed, Dustin has a tendancy to second guess himself particularly if his friends tend to doubt him. He also is very close to his father Jake, claiming that he taught him everything he knows about racing and motorcross. He also doesn't see anything wrong with using his own powers with helping non-Ranger friends such as his boss Kelly when they are in trouble. He firmly believes that his greatest ninja skill is his instinct. His bad side tends to rub off on the fact that he can be too trusting, which can backfire on him. He also likely has a problem with people never taking him seriously, but at his heart he's a kind hearted person who just tries to do the right thing.
Dustin even though most onlookers consider him too flakey or irresponsible to be dependable for anything, particularly as a Ranger he has the utmost faith in himself and the people who know him. Confidant without being cocky most times, Dustin is the kind of guy who's easy to warm up to. He describes himself as the 'mellow reflective dude' in the opening episode and even when faced with trouble or seeing someone else in trouble he's the first to help others no matter if it's a friend or a stranger regardless of the consequences. This can backfire on him frequently and often does as once Dustin stopped to help a passing couple with their car despite being told if they(Dustin, Tori and Shane) were late once more they'd be expelled from the Ninja Academy.
Because of Dustin's seemingly lack of responsibility his fellow Rangers tend to treat at arms length sometimes because he tends to trust those he should not be trusted. However Dustin always tries to do the right things, even if he can be very spontaneous and doesn't use his mind at first glance he will stick by his firends and those he cares for quite a long time.

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON;
[Note: Dustin says the words 'man' and 'dude' very frequently in series.]
2.) What would you say is your greatest strength?
Dude, that's kind of a no-brainer. Forget my superpowers or anything else. It is easily my gut instinct whether a person is bad or good I always give them the benefit of a doubt. Like I tell my friends Shane and Tori: sometimes you just have to trust people. So I think that's my strongest asset or strength.
3.) You have one choice. That choice will result in either the end of the world or it will save it. Which way would you go?
Dude, save the world or destroy it? Easy man, I'd always save it. That's what a Power Ranger does. Who would want the world destroyed anyway? Well, I guess if you're super-evil you don't care about the people but that's what the Power Rangers and people like me do! We help people from aliens and stuff like that. Not that all aliens are bad, dude. Just some are, no offense. Anyway, world saving is a major must. I'd never destroy the world.
6.) What would make up your ideal friend?
Man... dude, that question is a little harder to think about. I mean Tori and Shane are by best buds, but we've known each other for years. We couldn't be more different: Shane's into skateboarding and Tori's a surfer but we've always had each other's backs. My other friends are different even though I get along pretty well with them.
Blake and Hunter are motorcross guys like me but at least Blake was way more mellow than Hunter. Hunter was kind of a brooder in the beginning. Man... My last friend Cam didn't think too much of us, he was the tech guy before he became the Green Ranger and pretty much was way too serious at times. Anyway, my ideal friend? I guess I kind of have them already. Shane, Tori, Blake, Cam, and Hunter kind of are my ideal friends. I can't imagine my life as a person or Ranger without them.
They would have to be honest and trustworthy, awesome to hang out with no matter their interests, and willing to hlep others when they need it. As long as they aren't evil or jerks man, I'd probably be friends with them. I know that doesn't really narrow things down, but there it is.
THIRD PERSON;
