	[color=lightblue][sub][ ♚ ] A P P E A R A N C E[/sub][/color][hr][indent][color=7e6e75]Like most of his kind, he has blonde hair and blue eyes with not even a small pigment coming from other ethnicities. He actually looks younger than what he actually is but it doesn’t seem to bother him all that much despite all the insults hurled at him. Especially since he's only five foot five, and doesn't look all that muscular. He also has light skin, however, he is slightly darker than most of his siblings considering that he's mostly outside, covertly analyzing what is happening out of the castle. 

 He has a burn scar in his left hand and is the main reason why he wears gloves all the time. His dress code is usually his princely attire and despite looking very uncomfortable and impractical, he carries it just fine and he is able to move just fine in it. However, he can be seen not wearing that and only just a formal looking coat, a casual undershirt and slacks. Most of the coats he owns has his family crest stitched as if to remind everyone of his status as a prince.

Brendan is often referred to as “The Rogue Prince of Tromaria” and for good reason. He is something akin to a free spirit despite being a price mostly because he doesn't have much responsibilities as a last born of 8 children. He would often leave home for days at end with his combat maid to inspect the kingdom he is living in covertly or even going as far as visiting another kingdom without prior notice to both his siblings and the rulers of the neighboring kingdom. He is very curious about his surroundings, the differences of each kingdom and races’ cultures and the differences between the life of a royal and the common folk, social statuses and such. However, as much as he enjoys time outside, he also spends equal time inside, studying about economy, mathematics and anything related to finances as he wants to at least be if service to someone once he grows old, even if it's just a mere instructor or advisor. He truly does have an interest in the subject anyway, and also possesses natural intelligence to get such complex things at such a young age. Memorizing things comes easily to him as well, already learning three languages at his young age. 

Brendan is ambiverted. While he can be social, most of the time, he's content with staying quiet and listening to others. However, if faced with a quiet type, he would often strike up a conversation if he feels like the other person is up for it. He's good at picking up signals and acts carefully around others. Although he is a prince, and normally a prince knows how to assert himself, he has trouble actually speaking up just to avoid conflict as he says that it drains his energy reservoir. While a lot of people think that Brendan is easy prey and they could use him, it's actually not very easy. He is aware when he is being manipulated and will stand his ground when that time comes. He is also very passive about things, insults just bounce off of him and he doesn't react too much when he's complimented. 

He hates boredom over everything. Given his interests in others, he just loves seeing other personalities of people. Even if they're rude or kind, narcissistic or humble, everything is interesting to him. He likes the idea of everyone being unique and is the reason why he likes hanging out with other people in other kingdoms. It is also the reason why he has grown tired of hanging out with his siblings once they had been attending lectures more frequently. His siblings were losing their individuality, hiding themselves behind a wall of steel to become great rulers. They had become uninteresting. Don't mistake me, he still loves and respects them but he just doesn't find their company to be more worthwhile than just simple family get togethers. It's also obvious whenever he feels like he is growing tired of something, and admittedly, he grows tired of most things very quickly. But if he doesn't, it means that he'll stick by it until the end.

Brendan is the last born out of eight children, six of which are male and the other two are twin females. Because he is the last out of all of them, he wasn't too important and so his parents never looked at him as either a son or a political tool. He was placed under the care of his aunt who also had a daughter born at the same time as him. Brendan and his cousin, Rivellia, grew up with each other but the latter was but a mere servant to the male but became his best friend nonetheless. He was a smart child and understood immediately why his parents never actively sought out for him. He didn't feel sad about it though, as he couldn't care less by that time. 

His siblings were kind to him, often playing with him when they have the time. However, as years pass by and the lectures became heavier on their shoulders, they soon stopped coming to him to play leaving the young one by himself. However, even he grew tired of his siblings as they grew older. Rivellia also had training to attend to leaving Brendan by his lonesome most of the time. His parents gave him tutors, yes, but they were only for etiquette and things he grew tired of quickly. He instead spends most of his time inside the library, learning about the different cultures of the kingdoms around the world, economics, the races and history.

Once he had reached eleven years of age, his father had unfortunately died from an illness and his mother also died from food poisoning. The culprit was quickly found to be one of her jealous sisters who sought for the king's hand before. And so his eldest brother, King Isaiah Tromvara had assumed the throne. He had also married a Forloni princess. It was then that he had expressed to his brother some things he thought of to build safer trade routes and who they should improve their relations with. To be fair, his brother was rather impressed with what he was saying and said that he would keep it in mind.

And so when Brendan had requested his brother to give him a tutor, Isaiah replied with making the court wizard teach him the ropes. He had started with basic fire and basic lightning spells. However, at one time, something had gone wrong and Brendan had accidentally burnt his left hand. It had gotten better as time passed by, but it left a nasty mark and Brendan's not too fond of showing it to others. After a while of this, he had asked his brother once more if he could accompany him to the Divine Well. King Isaiah once more had agreed. When they got there, however, instead of just looking at the Well, he had actually dove in. After being reprimanded, Brendan had told Isaiah that he did it for his magic studies.

It was when he was twelve when he had started sneaking out of the castle to observe the commoners, it was also the time when Rivellia had finished her training and thus can accompany Brendan wherever he wants to go. While his house does value everyone, commoners and nobles alike, they don't really go down to the commoner houses too much since they're too busy with everything else that's happening. So he wanted to observe what it was like when the rulers don't come down too much. Unsurprisingly, the commoner's were living quite happily. He noticed that not many had recognized him as the last-born prince without the coat that said it. Years passed and he visits other kingdoms more frequently while not saying anything to his siblings. They don't really mind him going out, as long as he didn't do anything that would ruin relations with said kingdom.

Now, sixteen years after his birth, he would enroll in The Conclave where he could further enhance his knowledge and have fun along the way.

His brother, the current king, had always noticed that Brendan was gifted when it came to studying, especially in finances. Wanting to help his brother, he suggested that Brendan should attend The Conclave and when he finished, he would have a job waiting for him. Brendan was more overjoyed by the fact that King Isaiah had noticed his efforts than going to the school. He also wanted to learn more about magic, healing magic to be precise.

[b]Diplomacy:[/b] Brendan was never assertive enough as a person so he's very weak at persuading people with words. He's more of a follower than a leader despite being a prince. However, if he knows some good points (especially in the field of finances), he would put it up there and then let the person decide whether he'll follow or not.

[b]Faith:[/b] Brendan wasn't much of a believer. But unless it's proven that something else led to the peace between all kingdoms, he would still acknowledge Gaea as the one who did it.

[b]Intrigue:[/b] He's a very patient person and if he is curious, he will continue to ask until he gets his answer. However, he can pick up on signals (especially aggressive ones) and knows when to stop lest he wants his head to roll off the block. If he really puts his head into it though, he can get information from people easily.

[b][u]Magic:[/u][/b] Magic is something Brendan is especially interested at. It's the only thing he requested his brother to tutor him and he got his wish, a court wizard was ordered to teach him at certain days. It wasn't too long until he had managed to learn the basics of lightning and healing magic, but he's more interested in the latter as it can help people.

[b]Martial:[/b] As a prince, he was thought self-defense. He had taken up swordplay and archery but not more other than that. He relies more on basic magic and his personal combat maid to protect him. But if both fails him, he has the failsafe of knowing how to wield a sword and a bow.

[u][b]Stewardship:[/b][/u] Having both the natural aptitude and interest in the field of economics and finances, Brendan is practically assured to be in this field. While not really liking too much money, he wants to keep the kingdom going and thriving. As boring as the subject may be, he just has a natural affinity and is drawn to it. [/color][/indent]

[b]Rivellia[/b]: The only person he brought was his cousin and combat maid. She is of Tromani and Aladori descent, having a braided blonde hair and stands at around five foot four. Rivellia was born around the same time as Brendan so the two practically grew up with each other. She's the only one Brendan can fully trust and she is fiercely loyal. Brendan also affectionately calls her ‘Flare’ because of how she’s usually quiet but when she’s in complete bodyguard mode, it’s like she changes.[/color][/indent]

[b]Princess Aleandra Charlottian Pridedane Of Vespira[/b] - Brendan had met her here and there considering that they're from neighboring kingdoms. He sees her as interesting, just like most people. They are mere acquaintances though so he's looking forward to talking with her more.

[b]Princess Rhelissa Sevareviel Fel of Aladore[/b] - He had met the stone cold princess when he was young at an imperial ball. He was told that he should at least introduce himself to some people so that others would actually know about him. He wasn't too famous with them after all considering the fact that he only seldom went to social gatherings. He had briefly talked to Rhelissa before he was pulled away by his father to talk to some other noble. He is impressed with how... should we say, formal, she was when they had talked. He's looking forward to how much she changed over the years.

[b]Princess Anareliea Ayelet Hulevia of The Imperium of Gaealia[/b] - Brendan had been dragged to too many festivities because of his brothers' absences. Unlike before, he had stuck by one place until he had heard murmurs from other nobles about a person named Anareliea. Interested in these rumors, he decided to approach the two nobles and they explained to him her reputation. This was an opportunity Brendan could not pass up. He had actively searched from the princess and engaged in a conversation about Gaea with her. She had tried to explain everything to him, however, the time was too short and they had to separate. After hearing that she was attending The Conclave, he looked forward to talking with her again.

[b]Prince Ydrian Kareth Hawkhart of Kalcia[/b] - Brendan had met this particular flirty person when Prince Isaiah had been crowned King. As per tradition with most of the Tromvari houses, Ydrian and his family was invited. He wouldn't have met Ydrian if he hadn't started speaking to his cousin, Rivellia. He had apparently found her attractive and after speaking with Ydrian, he started to find him interesting as well. His confidence and flirty attitude was something Brendan actually found refreshing. A breath of fresh air, one could say. And when the party was over, the two had started exchanging letters.

[b]Prince Prometheus Artemis Blackwater[/b] - Brendan had met Prometheus when he was young. Having been brought along for a diplomatic meeting for reasons he was not able to fathom, he was bored out of his mind. Being restless, he slipped out of the meeting and headed out. He hadn't heard much about Blackwater, to be honest, so he was more or less interested in seeing everything. What he did not expect was meeting another person. He had struck a conversation with him and was quite surprised to find out that he was one of the princes of the kingdom. They had talked and became friends. Brendan kept in touch with him through letters but after he had reached thirteen years of age, he had lost contact with the prince. Wanting to know what happened, he had travelled to the kingdom once more and found that Prometheus acted differently. Brendan didn't approach Prometheus or anyone from the royal family and left without a word.
