Species
Mermaid "Oi! That's Merman to you!"
Age
26
Appearance
Brendan has beautiful, long, wavy orange thick hair. He's often mistaken for a female by some at first glance, although front on it is quite clear what gender he is. He has bright, dark blue eyes, soft sun-kissed flawless skin and rather sharp facial features. His long tail is the same colour as his eyes with hints of purple. Brendan is rather muscular though despite his rather feminine features with a toned torso and arms.
Personality
Brendan can be rather, oblivious, perhaps a bit ditsy and immature for his age. He tends to take things literally and seriously even though he's the type to joke around a lot and enjoys playing games and tricking others, he doesn't quite understand everyone around him all the time, he needs to work on his people skills. Although he is playful and happy, he is not like this at all times towards everyone. Only those he feels comfortable around other wise he can be quite distant and quiet around any random person including someone he might have know for a year or two, if he's not really close friends with them, the most you'll get out of him is a friendly wave. Brendan can get serious and angry if someone says something he does not like, whether or not he's intimidating is another story but he can get quite nasty. He's not afraid to hurt another living thing if he feels threatened and can be pretty stubborn and temperamental. Brendan has fallen in love countless times, although it isn't really love. When ever he finds someone of any race attractive or charming he grows attached to them without really knowing what they're actually like, sometimes he'll openly say to a close friend he loves a certain someone that he hasn't even spoken to once yet in his entire life. Yes he's a bit wishy washy, a day dreamer and sometimes a bit too positive, but he is the emotional kind of guy who can actually get offended quite easily and just as easily bite back without any explanations or apologies.
Which side are you on?
Brendan is on neither side and is perhaps a little bit selfish to not choose a side and rather think about more unimportant things like what he'll be eating tomorrow. He's the type to help either side in all honesty, he is gullible and easily persuaded despite what his intuition might be telling him. Perhaps Brendan is far too trusting of others.
How do you see the war?
The war has been going on long enough and he thinks it's starting to get dull and boring. Brendan wishes that either side would hurry up and end it all. It wouldn't and doesn't matter much to him because he's always secluded himself from the mercity and would rather not be disturbed by anyone, a bit of a gypsy he is, moving from place to place a lot of the time. Of course he does go into town and meet new people and sometimes by chance a friend or too. But in conclusion, Brendan has no real opinion on the war apart from thinking it's stupid and boring.
Sexuality
Unknown/Unsure. Brendan falls in and out of love easily with all kinds of people and races, so much so that it's pretty clear he is still unaware of what love really is and what it actually feels like.
Likes
â Strange, odd, different people, places and things.
â Pranks, Tricks and Jokes.
â His space, does not enjoy being involved with large groups of people, it makes him nervous and uncomfortable.
Dislikes
â Boring, typical, predictable, dull people.
â Too many questions.
â Kelp. To him, it's annoying and always gets in the way, it tends to get caught in his hair a lot.
You could call him a gypsy of sorts, a traveling store as he does tend to sell things while he's on the move, a general goods/faulty goods person? He has no real position, he's a free spirit.
Whose in your family?
Brendan has no family left, not that he knows of anyway. He was an only child and his mother and father passed away quite some time ago, but not that long ago. His farther died in the war and his mother's death is unknown, one day she simply just did not return after she had gone out to get a few things. Brendan's been on his own ever since, not the type to want to linger in the past he tries to keep moving on with no real goal in life except to keep living,
What are your abilities?
â The Illusionist â Brendan is great at using this ability the most, he's had lots of practice, trying it out on many people. Brendan can create any image he thinks up appear anywhere he chooses, although it takes a lot of concentration, skill and strong imagery to get it right. This can also allow him to make a certain object look like something it really isn't but even more difficult is to put the image into another's mind. Depending on how much willpower they may have, Brendan is able to make another think they saw something even when he's not around but this takes a huge amount of energy and strength to do and can possibly harm him critically. He can only do this when first meeting them though, once he feels he's got a lock on their mind, then he is free to continue the illusion while not around them. Still it is something he has to learn more of to safely do it right.
â Mocking Bird â Brendan has the ability to mimic someone's voice. Of course it takes a bit of being around them a lot to get the voice right but by a lot we mean a few hours. That's a lot to Brendan.
â Fish Out of Water â Only at night, Brendan can actually breathe out of water. This is when the moon is at its highest in the sky and the stars are the only lights. However, if put under stress, worry, or if injured this ability will play up and he will cut in and out of breathing. On a full moon would be the safest phase for him to come to the surface to breathe as no matter what the situation he can still manage to breathe out of the water. This is a bit hard to get used to though and is sometimes painful when transitioning from breathing in the water to out.
Tell us about your history
Brendan grew up a rather spoiled life, with a mum and a dad to raise their only son, so of course he got heaps of attention from them at all times and he was quite a needy child. They had always taken great care of him and raised him well. But as he got older and matured, he started to feel more and more lonely, but even now he was a bit too shy to actually approach people and make new friends. He didn't want to approach them or talk to them, but he still wanted someone to talk to and be friends with. Of course as the years went on he did make a few friends, some friends come and go, others moved away or moved on, but Brendan was always stuck in the same place. When his Dad died in the war, the family started to weaken with his mum left to take care of him, or rather, he take care of her. It was hard and she always smiled at him, tried her best to make things happy. But there was always something off about her, an odd emptiness. One day, she left a note telling him not to worry and that she would be back. It did not say where she went or when she'd return though. He waited, hours, days, weeks. There were search parties until all hope was lost and it was announced that she had either died or been captured and sold by the pirates. At first he didn't accept it. And so, he packed his things and left, searching for her. He traveled very far across the ocean, way too far to even know where home was anymore. After a year he gave up and accepted the sad truth she was gone. He made a living, gradually building up a small caravan of sorts that he kept supplies and goods in. Brendan still has the note she had left behind though, hidden in his precious box with other valuables such as family photos, currency etc. Now Brendan is still alone, but rather likes it that way, he's gotten used to it and simply enjoys fooling those who don't expect it and moving on with his life.
