Beranok's Charge
With Beranok's Charge, Brynjar can store up electricity inside of his body without limit. He can convert this into magic energy, power up his muscles with it or re-release it like an Aura manifestation. He cannot be harmed by electricity, natural or magical, absorbing it instead. However, he cannot produce his own electricity, reliant on a source. His marks will continue to glow so long as he has a charge but he can hold these indefinitely.
Ralgot's Skin
Using Ralgot's Skin, he can make his skin generate magnetic force at various intensities and switch between pulling and repelling. After considerable training, Brynjar has learned how to focus this to specific parts of his body such as just his hands.
Brynjar is the fraternal twin of Inge Erling. Inge and Brynjar are very different from each other in personality. While Inge is quiet and reserved, Brynjar is extremely outgoing, boisterous and straightforward with his emotions. He is also excessively protective of Inge especially after she lost her sight. He tries to include her when he can, since she is so reserved, but also insists she keep her psychic abilities secret. He desperately wants to see her happy and safe.
Brynjar quickly comes to admire and develop a crush on Ifani Brandt. He admires her strength, hard work and honest nature and he finds her extremely beautiful. He flirts with Ifani instantly and constantly while still trying to respect her boundaries. Sometimes he asks Inge for her "insight" to understand what is holding his teammates back as he tries to bring them all together. He is happy to see Inge come out of her shell and branch out for the first time. He has an adventurous soul but can be very serious about his sister and their past, concealing both adamantly.
Brynjar enjoys fighting and tries to show off in front of Ifani. He prefers using heavy weapons such as axes even though he's not particularly bulky. He is able to store electricity within his body and convert it into energy, powering up his muscles or discharge electricity similarly to an Aura but he cannot generate his own electricity. He is also able to generate magnetism with his skin and can swap between pulling and pushing forces. He tends to use the second defensively or to disarm opponents but can also send weapons flying back to opponents. His favorite axe has an iron bar at its core, making it heavier but easier for him to manipulate with his magnetism. He comes to rely on Tia and Arabella to charge him up mid-fight.

Brynjar is tall but thin and lean. He doesn't seem noticably muscular but he is fit and his magic makes him inhumanly strong. He is a bit hairier than his peers and almost always have stubble or even a light beard. In his magic form, bright yellow streaks and cracks across his body similarly to Tia's form but these are concentrated around his torso and muscles instead of his hands. These are matched by dijon yellow patterns which peek from between the brighter stripes.

Background
Brynjar and Inge originate from an Ostmen eldingarborn village in þorreyjar, Skaney. It's common for his people to raid the Eluzian Valley or Keyh Sea during thunderstorms, referred to as Storm Viking . However, these twins fled their village due to certain events involving how Inge lost her sight. They had gone from town to town in Skaney but eventually settled on leaving their homeland behind altogether, making a go of it in the Kingdom of Accia.
The twins were quickly recruited into the Accian Military Training Program and are both hopeful about the new start. Brynjar has made Inge promise she would keep the full extent of her psychic abilities secret this time for her own sake. While he is enjoying their new lifestyle, he still worries immensely for his sister and forgets about his own happiness. Brynjar has and will always feel like he failed Inge when she was blinded. This is part of why he works so hard to protect and watch out for her now. He blames himself for not being more vigilant. And much like Euan, Brynjar has little care for traditional morality. He will look out for himself, his sister and any others he comes to care about—all the rest is trivial.
Family
Inge and Brynjar's father is a Storm Viking but their mother was Alfar, an elf. Elves are Ostmen blessed by Ranalis and they generally live in Ljossalheimr in the branches of Yggdrasil. They are mystics, fortune tellers and healers who devote their lives to spiritual pursuits and use their abilities to serve all of their people. Their mother was born and raised in this way but left her lofty lifestyle behind to marry their father. Once an alfar leaves, they can never return.
When Inge was discovered to possess Ranalis' blessing, the pampered and lofty life of an alfar was set before her. However, their mother had of illness when they were young and their father wasn't often home. Inge rejected a life in Ljossalfheimr to remain with her brother. This choice, forsaking a life surrounded by others like her who understood her unique abilities, has only further left Brynjar ingratiated, regretful and guilty in his failure to protect her.
