Brandon has a hard look to him, the coal black hair of the Baratheons is neatly trimmed and combed, as is his young, but still impressive beard. He has a hard, square chin with a rather resolute mouth. His dark blue eyes are cold as steel and shadowed by his ever prominent brow.

Causing his relationship with his son to become very strained. While under the effects of drink Rodrick is an angry, cruel, and cynical man who berates his servants and mocks his advisors. Though he wouldn't dare raise a hand to his son as he knows the boy could easily snap him in twain.[/indent] [color=fff200]Mother[/color] [indent]Lady Priscilla of the Stormlands died when Brandon was three. The boy doesn't remember much about her but the stories he's heard from those who knew her indicate she was a kind and noble woman. And when she was alive his father was much happier.[/indent] [color=fff200]Siblings[/color] [indent]His twin sister Lyanna, whom he views as his most cherished friend and counselor.[/indent] [color=fff200]Religion[/color] [indent]R'hollor.[/indent] [center][hr][hr] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5I3uYSy.jpg[/img] [hr][hr][/center] [center][color=white][h3]Skills[/h3][/color][/center] [color=fff200]Strengths[/color] [indent]Brandon, being a large, muscular man is of course incredibly strong. Brandon is also incredibly gifted in all forms of combat, from pure martial prowess to tactics and warfare. He's also very resilient, known to be able to take very bad injuries and come back stronger for it. Brandon has a great poker face, able to mask his emotions no matter the situation with something he calls his "Lord Face." [/indent] [color=fff200]Weaknesses[/color] [indent]Brandon isn't as agile as some, his bulk makes speed a hard thing. Brandon also has a tendency to say exactly what's on his mind, not caring for manners or polite conversation. He also has no use at all for intrigue and in fact regards the thing as a cowards game, though he can't deny it's results at times. [/indent] [color=fff200]Weapon[/color] [indent]Brandon's primary weapon is a great-sword by most men's standard. But to Brandon it's used as a bastard sword, with a one or two-handed grip.[/indent] [center][color=white][h3]Mannerisms[/h3][/color][/center] [color=fff200]Likes[/color] [indent][list][*] Training.

[/list][/indent] [center][color=white][h3]Digging Deeper[/h3][/color][/center] [color=fff200]Personality[/color] [indent]A gruff, but respectful individual. He talks and thinks with the hard, confident tones expected of a knight of his caliber. While prideful of his prowess in combat, Brandon is not quick to anger nor easy to turn to violence, and would much sooner berate someone else for seeing excessive gore or death as a solution. He's also something of a stoic when it comes to emotion, and doesn't find himself pursuing things like romance, vengeance or adventure. Brandon has been rendered somewhat cynical and sullen by his home situation. The very mention of these occurrences can lapse him into this foul attitude, and bring with it a lot of pain. However, Brandon remains ferociously serious of his role as heir to the Stormlands, and would do his very best to protect his trusted allies and innocents. Above all, Brandon is a sworn guardian of his people, bearing his armor and crest with dignity in spite of the hateful men and ruthless creatures who would bear down on him for it.[/indent] [color=fff200]History[/color] [indent]Brandon grew up with a lot of pressure, from his father, his father's advisors, and every noble in the Stormlands. Everyone was either praying he'd meet his death as he was the sole, male, heir, or become a mindless pawn they could use. Growing up in such an environment caused Brandon to read fantastical stories of heroes rescuing maidens and fighting dragons. As such Brandon took to those tales and strove to be that kind of person. When he was fifteen Brandon took place in his first tournament and in his first melee. He excelled. The loud clanging and clattering of steel with the boy at the center earned him the name Stormbringer. As he grew Brandon idolized the White Knights of the Kingsguard who, to him, were all dashing heroes giving their lives for King and Country. As such he wanted to join them, but as he grew older he learned how that would never happen. Yet he's contented himself with the fact that he can serve his subjects as a fair and just lord.[/indent] [color=fff200]Theme Song[/color] [indent][url=https://youtu.be/sWZwTOSgLZI]John Dreamer-True Strength[/url][/indent] [center][hr][hr] [img]http://i.imgur.com/7tMQULJ.jpg[/img] [hr][hr][/center] [color=fff200]Extra Stuff[/color] [indent][/indent] [/hider]
