Brandon Graves

Level III Clearance Required: Authorized Access Only

    The little that is known of Brandon Graves could probably be written on a single page of a small notepad, and still have space left over. What people don't know, can't hurt them, right?

    The unknown history of the enigmatic man includes a birth in Germany, to parents with close ties to the SAS, being placed with a family in the US to keep him safe, observation by a shady benefactor who kept him hidden from those who would use him against his family, and plenty more besides. Even the knowledge of what he was beneath the skin was hidden, with only one news report (May 10th, 1990) of a shadowy figure going on a rampage through a block in Hackensack, NJ the previous night. There were no casualties, 3 major injuries, a dozen minor injuries, and a large amount of property damage, but no perpetrator in sight. Brandon got very lucky, but his First Change was a messy one, and he vowed to learn how to control himself.

    A decade later and he moved to New York to be closer to others of his kind. He started to train under a mentor, learning the ways of the warriors, how to control his temper and powers, and even began to pass his learnings on to others as a natural teacher. Despite his young age, others learned well under his tutelage, but he could learn so much more. He delved into forbidden texts that the elders kept locked away to prevent the truth from becoming known and found more than he bargained for. He was forever scarred with the knowledge of other supernatural creatures and vowed to pass it on to those worthy.

    Few understood his advanced teachings, and he held them back for another half-decade until one student came to him with a story that had him captivated. It was less the content, more the drive for knowledge that piqued his interest, and the student took to his teaching like a duck to water. The forbidden texts were like storybooks to the student, learning more and more by the day, until the elders found out and banned him from mentoring any more students.

    By that time it was too late: both Deathsong and Sworddancer had picked up all the information they could glean, yet they both wanted to help others. Deathsong was exiled, no longer welcome within the tribe, but his benefactors kept a close eye on the pair of truth-seekers, and still do to this day. They both became troubleshooters, solving issues where situations of the supernatural come up across the country, but where one stayed close to home, the other travels across the country, wherever it may take him.

✔ Story over pure smut (but it doesn't hurt to ask; smut in context is fine).
✔ Public first, then private (although public may sometimes be an issue).
✔ Story consistency (bruises/injuries/experiences within an RP will stick around, among other things).
✔ Snark (you will get shit from Brandon and his writer - it's not personal, it means he likes you).

✘ Brandon is an original character from the writer's mind.
✘ IRL: Taken, not looking.
✘ Inlines by me.
✘ Yes, I'm taking certain liberties with the lore for the purposes of roleplaying.
