Race: Dreitish. From the country of Dreitan, currently in a bitter war with Agene.
Setting: An intelligent and reserved boy from a wealthy home in the countryside. Rather plain, but extremely bright, with a taste for absorbing as much information as possible. Easily picked on, and frequently a target of more physical boy in his year.
Affiliation: A citizen of Dreitan, a student of the Boys’ Academy of Prepared Youth, and a son of a wealthy family from the countryside.
Occupation: A student at the Boys’ Academy of Prepared Youth. A third year student, easily picked on and with few friends.
Build: Tall and slender, with little muscle or body fat to speak of. Long limbed and a bit gangly.
Skin tone: A rather grey pale, light from spending too much time in darkened indoor rooms.
Hair: Sleek and black, parted to his right and covering one eye. Unkempt and frequently left uncombed.
Eyes: Medium brown, sloping up at the corners and rather dull. Frequently pink around the edges.
Distinguishing Features: Tall figure, long limbs, unusually light skin, hair covering eye, scar on his midsection from an accident when he was little, large, long fingered hands.
Dress: The typical uniform of his school, which consists of a white dress shirt, grey vest, grey shorts, and a red bow. On his own, Bren is a rather sloppy dressed, paying little attention to the state of his attire. He prefers plain, functional outfits, and gravitates towards neutral colors and comfortable fabrics. He pays little attention to fashion, and usually dresses like someone of much lower status than he really is.
Proficiencies: Bren is an extremely intelligent boy. He’s had a constant stream of tutors from a young age, and is well educated in every subject from astronomy to geology. He does very well in school, and always exceeds in his classes. Like all Dreitish children, he’s trained in his father’s profession, which in his case is bookkeeping, and spent six years studying it.
Special Abilities/Strengths: Bren is book smart and very good at retaining information. He can study on his own easily, and would have little need for teacher or organized classes. He’s a reclusive, independent sort, and is very good at keeping himself occupied.
Weaknesses: Bren is, in most other respects, a disaster. He’s socially awkward, unsure of himself, weak-willed, and easy to bully. He frequently forgets to take care of himself properly, and can go days without eating more than snacks if left on his own. He’s absolutely terrible at standing up for himself, and is easily pushed around by anyone stronger. He’s bad at keeping himself properly groomed, even, and go ages without so much as remembering to change his clothes.
History: The son of a wealthy family, Bren had a rather unusual childhood. His father was fond of the idea of children learning, and so, long before he would ever have to attend proper schooling, Bren had a long supply of tutors, and full access to a vast library. From a young age, he had a passion for learning and absorbing information, and spent long days holed up in his family’s library, taking in whatever knowledge he could find. Unfortunately, Bren’s social education suffered horribly as a result, and he grew up reclusive and shy, unwilling to go out and make friends.
Home: A large manor in the countryside, with a massive library at his disposal. Currently lives in the Academy, in a plain room with another boy.
Personality: Bren is reclusive and plain, disliking social interaction and preferring to spend time on his own. He’s interested only in learning, and will neglect even self care in favor of long hours spent reading. He’s socially awkward and easy to bully, weak willed and easily pushed around. He’s unremarkable in everything except intelligence and height, and exists in a self created bubble of reading and isolation. He’s a bit spacey, and prone to losing track of time. He’s particularly attached to his childhood home, and despises the idea of being forced away to fight a war.
Interests: Bren likes reading, libraries, and time to himself. He dislikes physical activity, bullies, and tight schedules. His hobbies are reading and taking in information.
Miscellaneous: He had an accident when he was little that required stitches along his midsection. He has the scars to this day. His favorite food is crackers and milk. He’s very prone to papercuts. He’s fallen asleep in his library more times than he can count. He hit a massive growth spurt at age nine, and has been taller than his peers ever since. He’s slightly afraid of the outdoors and leaving home.
Connotative description: A book smart and socially awkward boy with a weak personality and a penchant for sticking to what’s safe.
