Around him is an air of superiority and a demand to be acknowledged, and oft times he can be quite charming. Despite his arrogance however, he does have a strong sense of honour and duty that was drilled into him consistently as a kid and be quick to anger when his honour is challenged. He is easy to make friends with, if one looks past the pride, but he trusts nearly no one. Bran is often seen sporting a small smile when not doing anything important. History: Bran was raised by a powerful family within Arocina, and his father -- a powerful aristocrat -- wanted his son to become general of the army to further his own desires. Bran complied to his father's wishes willingly and was squired to a renowned knight at the age of eight. He was knighted at the age of fifteen and was drafted in the army quickly thereafter. His time in the army taught the young Bran discipline, honour, and duty, and drilled those three concepts in him on a nearly daily basis. At the age of nineteen, commanding a small force, he was sent out to take down a band of mercenaires that were pillaging outlying villages and causing havoc on the nation's borders. When Bran confronted the mercenary band, he found them to be malnourished farmers and shepherds who resorted to pillaging in order to feed themselves. Feeling pity upon them, Bran turned a blind eye and returned to his superiors explaining that the mercenaries had caught sight of them and fled before a confrontation could happen. A few weeks later, he was brought to court and stripped of his military rank and dishonourably discharged from service. Hearing the news, Bran's father disowned him. With nothing left in Arocina, he left for Nesia and worked as a lowly mercenary for nearly a year when he heard of a new hunter's guild being formed. He quickly jumped at the opportunity and was among the first to join Inferno Hall. Equipment: He wears a full suit of armour, carries a longsword along with a shield, and a couple of daggers hidden in his boots. Occupation: Inferno Hall Moral Standing: Good Likes: combat, duels, food, sleeping, swords, armour, and horses. Dislikes: politics, political figures, his father, and lazy people Fears: Becoming like his father, being kicked out of Inferno Hall for his morals, and using his strength for evil intentions.
