He is an orphaned Native American from Earth who arrived on New Texas with the Shaman and became a marshal.

Abilities

BraveStarr can call upon the power of "spirit animals", enabling him briefly to perform superhuman feats, these were as follows:

• Eyes of the Hawk: Enhances his vision and can also grant him an aerial view of the adjacent area.
• Ears of the Wolf: Gives him super-human hearing.
• Strength of the Bear: Gives him super-human strength.
• Speed of the Puma: Gives him super-human speed.

In addition to his animal powers, he has electronic equipment such as a computerized visor and a two-way radio. BraveStarr also carries a "Neutra-laser" pistol and a "Trans-freezer" rifle, and the badge on his uniform can shield him at need.

Personality and Traits

BraveStarr has strong morals in abiding by the law and prefers to use more peaceful methods when dealing with problems, so he often consults the Shaman for advice. After every adventure, he or someone else often learns an important lesson which he then reviews to the viewers at the end of every episode.

BraveStarr works with Thirty/Thirty an equestdroid horse and Prairie resident Deputy Fuzz , though he sometimes has J.B., Shaman and other residents of New Texas to sometimes help him.

Early Life

When young BraveStarr was growing up on the unnamed planet of The Tribe, he befriened a young alien boy named Danna. The two of them enjoyed playing the game of Anti-Gravity Ball together. But one time young BraveStarr accused Danna of hitting him on the head with the remote control operated anti-gravity ball on purpose. The two boys began to fight, but Shaman stopped them, saying that he looked into Danna's mind and found he was telling the truth. After learning not to be so quick to judge people, BraveStarr and Danna become closer friends than before. (Big Thirty and Little Wimble)

At one point in his early life, Shaman gave BraveStarr the protective medicine made by the Dingo Llama to make him immune against the pollen of the Fever Flower (Call of the Wild).

When young BraveStarr was coming of age, he was afraid of the dark. According to the code of The Tribe from which he came, he had to go out into the darkness alone and face his deepest fears. Before leaving, Shaman asked BraveStarr to recite the creed of his tribe:

• Honor in all your deeds.
• Respect for all life.
• And be the protector of the weak and old.

(Strength of the Bear)

BraveStarr watching over New Texas

The people of Shaman and BraveStarr's Tribe discovered a great power. Unfortunately the evil Stampede also desired it. Shaman encouraged his people to protect their power plant at all cost, a decision he soon came to regret. A heard of gigantic Broncosaurs attacked the tribe, spitting flames from their mouths and laserbeams from their eyes. Even BraveStarr joined in, carrying a laser rifle twice his size. Shaman had to use all his magic to face Stampede in astral form. But when Stampede threatened to attack young BraveStarr, Shaman was forced to reenter his own body and protect the boy.

Stampede managed to gain the power he seeked and the tribesmen made ready to fled the planet in Totem-pole shaped rocket ships. But the power plant's energy proved even too powerful for Stampede to absorb, and as he expelled it, he destroyed his own horde of Broncosaurs and the entire planet. All but one of the escaping rocket ships also went up in flame, leaving Shaman and BraveStarr the last of their tribe. From that moment, Shaman could never forgive himself for what his actions had cost. When their rocket passed through a newly formed set of stars, BraveStarr was unexpectedly granted four Spirit Animal Powers.

Stampede has also managed to survive and chose the planet New Texas to buil himself a new base of operations similar to the one he had on the planet of the Tribe. Shaman sought out the planet to face his archenemy again. Knowing his rocketship would have to make a crash landing, Shaman put his young ward in suspended animation and ejected his emergency capsule into space, in range of a Galactic Marshal Space Station. That way he was ensured that the marshals would find BraveStar and take care of him. Shaman gave BraveStarr one half of his tribe amulet to know him by if they ever met again.
