Physical Description

Despite his rather generous height, Brody appears much smaller than he actually is due to a slouching and mousey posture. His skin is incredibly pale and taut over sharply angled and jutting bones. He is not rail thin to the point of being malnourished and starving but he definitely could eat significantly more if the sight of his ribs or bony hips and clavicles are any indication.

His tired, red-brown eyes are often hidden behind large, thick, half-moon glasses with dark rims. He has a very thin nose that causes the glasses to constantly slide down the bridge of it. His face is also almost always in a perpetual scowl Brody also has his mahogany brown hair in long dreads that are usually tied back away from his face and reach to mid to low back on him.

For accessories, Brody only has a few pieces of jewelry. Both ears are pierced in several places and he has a few long-chained necklaces with metal shapes that he usually places with or makes clack against each other. As for clothes, Brody tends to wear loose-fitting sweaters and trousers in dark to neutral colors no matter the temperature.

Personality

Brody is a generally quiet and shy man around strangers. He does not make eye contact, he's skittish about physical contact, and he's downright untrusting of anything and anyone new. He enjoys keeping to himself. Others have often described him as a brooding and most likely conceited individual when he is anything but the latter. He is an artist and has always enjoyed the darker imagery of things. If he wasn't so reserved around people he most likely would greatly enjoy discussing his art and techniques. Instead though he keeps his head down in life and just carries on, drifting from one thing to the next like a living specter.

Magic/Abilities

Artist: Brody is an incredibly talented multi-media artist. His subject matter is usually rather dark and of the macabre, depicting gaunt faces and creeping monsters. Don't expect rainbows and baby animals, he couldn't draw it if he tried.

Relationships

Lars Fin: Brody's former childhood best friend, protector, and lover. Brody absolutely loved Lars and would have eagerly followed him to the ends of the earth and back for all the good he had done for Brody. Too bad times change...

Seth Tinston: A fellow artist that Brody has done some collaborative work with over the years. They communicate and share their work online. Seth is the only one that knows where Brody is and is his one and only friend.

Asmodeus: His baby white-lipped python that was a gift from Seth. He loves his baby more than anything and works hard now to make sure Asmo only gets the best.

Kharon Blackwing: Neither of them know it but Brody is actually one of Kharon's descendants. It would seem that surly, brooding natures run in the family.

History

There isn't much to say about Brody's past. He was just another low-level orphan surviving and making it by in life. There were no saving graces, no psionic gifts miraculously emerging and Pilots suddenly saving him from his less than ideal life. There was just him and Lars against the world.

Lars was his everything. They didn't live like kings but they were happy and they had a home together. Brody showed a talent for art and Lars had the charm to get him the jobs. They were the perfect team, or so the pale boy thought. He would work hard but sometimes it was never enough. Lars pushed him to do more, to be more.

It started with a few harsh words followed by quick apologies every few months. Lovers had their tiffs, what was just one little argument? Then they became more and more frequent and the apologies fewer and far between. Cruel words became dark bruises. The first time it happened, Lars brought Brody flowers and held him as they both cried out their apologies and promised that would be their last argument.

It wasn't.

And Brody stayed. He stayed the first time Lars knocked him out cold. He stayed after all the broken bones. He stayed long past his tears dried up and the apologies stopped altogether. There was no justifiable explanation for it. It was just something he did. Then, one day it changed. One moment he had been shakily standing in the kitchen, pale fingers gripping a cup of crappy coffee to swollen and broken lips and then the next that cup was crashing to the floor. Brody had stared at the mess for several moments before leaving it and walking right out the door.

He never once looked back.

Today Brody is scraping by. Bit by bit he has worked at trying to get himself back on his feet again, taking whatever jobs he can get just so he can pay for the art supplies necessary to even work them. life goes on though. He has no idea if Lars is looking for him or even cares if he's alive or dead but he lives with his head down now for fear of ever wanting to go back.
