Bran Hunter

Keith

Name: Bran (Brawn) Hunter

Age: 14 (04/01)

Position: Mage Trainee- 1st year

Gifts: Mage Gift (Master potential), average Weather Sense

Appearance: Raven black hair and ghostly, green eyes, and already, an all weathered toughened skin. An average sized youth of 14 years old used to farming chores.

Personality: Bran is an energetic, hard working youth, and terribly bright. He loves to read, and he can write and has a strong base for mathematics, he enjoys being outside, and being around people. He is always polite and helpful to a point. He endeavors to do whatever task he is set to, the best he can. Pleasant personality and a strong desire to please. One problem he does have though is that he is quit picky. He likes things well ordered, everything has it’s place, and he despises his things being moved around from the way he has them, his Brother’s love to irritate him by moving his books or throwing clothes down on the floor. He is almost too neat.

Short Life Story: Young Bran is a very outgoing type, always friendly and polite. He enjoys working outdoors and has always seemed to know what the days weather would be like, and when a bad storm was rolling in. He is happiest when he is alone with a book, and most times always humming or whistling, but, always, always a book in his hand. His uncle had made sure that he knew reading and figuring, and was surprised when he found his nephew having a talent for drawing. Bran’s uncle was also very pleased to find that anything that Bran saw, he remembered, word for word, figure for figure.

Things started going different one evening though. Early on that morning Bran was milking one of the cows and for some reason, that cow began acting out and kicked the lad, catching him off guard, giving him a nasty bruised eye. All the rest of that day he had to put up with the chiding from his older brother Connor, about forgetting to warm his hands before trying to milk the cow.

By that evening, the lad complained about seeing things, strange lines in the air or beneath the ground and strange colors glowing around some objects and people. By the next morning, Bran’s uncle fetched a healer to see about him. “No, no. Not a thing to worry ‘bout.” The Healer said. “He’ll have a nice bruise for a bit, but the thing we need to take care about is...” The Healer rose and looked down at the boy with a smile, then he guided Brian outside of earshot. “Brian, you need to get this young man some training, and soon. He is Gifted!”
The Healer’s smile grew, “If I remember correctly, your daughter was Chosen, yes?” Brian nodded his head proudly.
“Now, I don't think he's one for being Chosen, but he is most definitely Gifted.”

A day or so after that, Brian sent word to his daughter that Bran's father had agreed, and they would be sending Bran to Haven. In his missive, he put what had happened, and that the Healer had called Bran 'Mage Gifted.'
