This along with his fiery red hair and bright blue eyes makes him difficult to miss, even when standing in the midst of a crowd. He walks with a great deal of grace and confidence, as his parents taught him, that makes it clear he is comfortable in any situation (even if he isn't). He does try to make sure he is presentable in every sense of the word, despite this his hair is always a slight mess, though not for lack of trying. Clothing wise he is always dressed nicely, unless he is relaxing by himself, even if the situation doesn't necessarily call for it. While nice he does also make sure to keep practicality as the most important aspect of what he wears whether that be a convenient holster for his weapon or combat boots. No matter what he's wearing there is always a jacket or long coat over the top of it, though this is mostly out of habit from growing up in a colder climate. He mostly prefers lighter, monochromatic shades with a few splashes of color, very similar to his weapon.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][u][b]Characterization[/b][/u][/color] [indent]Confident and approachable, Bren is an easy person to get along with provided you don't get on his bad side. If that's the case he tends to be harsh and snappish, but thankfully it takes a lot to get to that point. He is hard working at anything and everything, but mainly things that grab his interest completely. He can be somewhat easily distracted so if it doesn't work out every part of his brain and body he's more than likely to lose interest pretty quickly. However, if someone gets him talking about a topic he has a great deal of interest in it's difficult to get him to stop. He's strongly of the opinion that no one should be judged by who they are or where they're from, but rather the quality of their character. He'll take the time to get to know someone before really deciding if he wants to be their friend or not. Some people see this as putting in too much effort on things that mean very little, but Bren is of the mind that the types of people you spend time with reflect the type of person you are. Being an only child allowed him to really appreciate the company of other people his age, but it also had the side effect of making him somewhat unsure of how to interact with them. He's able to easily cover up his nerves for the most part unless someone catches him off guard. It does take some work to get him to care deeply about someone or something, not to say that he's against closeness by any means, but he wants to make sure it's worth his time. Like many of the other students at Haven, training to become an amazing huntsman is something he throws himself into 100% and if someone seems like they're giving less than that he's not so inclined to put in the effort of knowing them. If he is putting the work to better himself, and those on his team, he expects others to do the same. This does make him appear disinterested at points, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Once he gets to know someone well he loosens up quite a bit. He's much more willing to make jokes and hang around just because he enjoys the company of his friends. If he truly cares about someone he is strongly protective of them.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u][/color] [indent]Bren was born in Atlas and is the only child of Emil and Isolde Adalwolf. His father works for one of the many technological companies in the city of Atlas and is a brilliant mind that is focused on the betterment of society for the people there, and he is stringently against the sorts of unethical practices that some of the other companies dabble in. His mother on the other hand is not the high society wife that one might expect of a wealthy businessman, but rather an accomplished huntress in her own right. She attended Atlas Academy and had little trouble holding her own. His father was elated when they had a son and he immediately wanted Bren to follow in his footsteps and learn the intricacies of science and technology for the betterment of Remnant, but Bren was much more interested in what his mother did. She would return from hunts all through his early childhood with fascinating stories of the battles she participated in sparking his love of mythology and stories. Not to say he didn't heed his father and learn some of what Emil did for a living, but he could never quite grasp the depth of mechs coding. Rather he asked his mother to teach him combat moves from an early age, and he found that was where his passion was. Once he got old enough he begged his parents to allow him to attend a combat school and, while his father was hesitant, his mother was all for it. Given prior experience with his family he was able to make a name for himself at the school, despite the highly competitive nature of it, and thoroughly enjoyed the time he spent learning and practicing both at school and at home. When he turned 17 his mother expected him to apply to the Atlas Academy, and he knew he would've been able to get in with little trouble, but Atlas always felt so closed off and insular to him. Living there had it's perks, but he wanted to know how other parts of the world differed from the one he grew up in. With his parents permission, though it was a bit of a fight to get, he was permitted to attend Haven Academy where he hopes to learn what he didn't in Atlas.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][u][b]Semblance:[/b][/u][/color] [color=9e0b0f][b]Void's Spirit[/b][/color] [indent]Allows for the summoning of three shadowy, lupine spirits that can be directed as allies in battle to attack and defend. Bren can choose to summon the spirits individually as the strength of them goes down with each additional one that is brought onto the battlefield. The spirits are free to act within the orders that Bren gives them whether that be to attack the nearest enemy or guard an ally or location, but they must remain within a certain distance of him or else they vanish. Each spirit has it's own personality that can make them a hassle to control when all three are summoned at once, but careful focus and training can make it manageable. Bren loves each of the spirits, even the more abrasive of the three, and frequently has at least one summoned by his side as a point of support in unfamiliar locations. He has an incredibly careful grasp on the intricacies of his semblance, especially when there is only one present, and would never allow for the spirits to run amok in any way. [/indent] [color=9e0b0f][u][b]Weapon and Fighting Style:[/b][/u][/color] [hider=Guardian][img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESuDRgyWsAATJo8.jpg[/img][/hider] [indent]Bren's weapon, Guardian, is a fairly simple weapon compared to some of the others that he has seen from hunters and other students. A dual action sword and rifle that can fold to be very easily carried in a holster at his side. He can infuse the blade and rifle shots with various kinds of dust if he needs more of an elemental kick. Due to his weapon his fighting style is a mix of ranged and melee combat depending on the situation. He can shoot from a far distance with the rifle to keep things at a distance, but if push comes to shove he is perfectly capable of fighting in close quarters. He heavily relies on his semblance in the event that he is overwhelmed by a larger number of enemies around him. He knows how to work in tandem with his spirits and they allow him to utilize his observant nature to pick out weak points and hit hard and fast with either his blade or rifle.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][u][b]Intangibles:[/b][/u][/color] [indent]Bren is a highly capable combatant, particularly when working in a team given his semblance. He's not the best strategist overall, but his strength in that regard lies in being able to pick out an enemy weak point quickly. Having spent all of his life in Atlas he does have a tendency to act haughty without intending to. While he works well in a team with his spirits it may prove more difficult for him to work with other hunters and huntresses who don't do exactly as he says.[/indent] [/hider] [/hider]
