 bram van dijk tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance At a height of 5’6”, Bram is considered extremely short considering his Dutch heritage (most Dutchmen are a height of 6’). He is especially slender, with little muscle or fat covering his body. While this can result in his body possessing a slim appeal, it also makes his physical lacking obvious. There is not much muscle to him, making it difficult for him to overpower another individual. His skin is rather pale, oftentimes making him look slightly ill as a result. Hidden beneath his clothes are a variety of scars covering his body, although, most are rather insignificant. Around his knuckles are small scars from his parents forcing him to train to become a soldier. The other scars are across his back from a variety of incidents related to his parents and their disdain for his inferior fighting skills. Despite the training, Bram’s hands are rather soft and delicate, almost as you would expect a woman’s hands to be. They are smaller than the average male with slender fingers. There was always something a bit feminine about Bram’s face. The curves of his oval-shaped face are soft with high cheekbones. Unruly black hair drifts down from his head, rarely tamed thoroughly by the teeth of a comb. A majority of this messy mane is brushed to the right side of his face, however, remains in wild clumps. The teen’s hair is thick and healthy, making it obvious he cared well for the dark hair. Occasionally, it obscured his vision because of how messy it can be. There is a pink hue to his eyes, although, there are also notable hints of red. Oftentimes, his eyes are described as quite feminine from his long eyelashes, ultimately making them captivating. Constantly framing his eyes is a pair of thick glasses designed to allow him to see long distances. The frames themselves are black, the lenses being rather wide to allow ample room for sight. Under most circumstances, people can see Bram wearing sweaters whenever possible. He adores the pleasantness of sweaters wrapping around his small frame. In the colder months, he will even add his favourite pink jacket to his attire. Frequently, this results in a temperature regulating bracelet being around his wrist at all times. Shirts are usually of a red or pink hue and long-sleeved because of his anxieties about his body. He finds long-sleeved shirts make him more comfortable. Bram never wears shorts an instead wears pants if varying styles; colours usually being dark. Jeans are worn most frequently, although, he has been known to wear sweatpants on lazier days. personality
abilities Plant Manipulation -- Advanced The ability to control plants, allowing for rapid growth and moving the various pieces to the user’s will. These can include a variety of plants, allowing the user to use nature against the other individual. When they moved, Bram mostly found comfort among plants and the native wildlife, thus he spent plenty of time training his manipulation abilities. Furthermore, the rigorous training his parents placed him in resulted in some training. While Bram can use plants for combat purposes, he prefers sensing the plant, identifying and using it for medical purposes. Reading plenty of books about nature allowed him to identify the uses of a specific type of plant, which has assisted him plenty with this ability. Ultimately, the manipulation is used to help plants grow rapidly and return life to plants who are wilting. Whenever plants are around Bram, they will automatically start perking up because of the intensity of his magical energy when it comes to plant manipulation. While Bram is capable, he does require magical energy to manipulate plants. The more complex the movements or larger scale manipulations can result in energy depleting rather quickly. Furthermore, Bram cannot change the durability of plants, which means certain items can easily break through certain types of plants. Fire tends to be the most problematic since it burns the plants and removes them from the area. Plants that are long dead cannot be manipulated by Bram, which means fallen branches and leaves are out of the question. Healing -- Advanced The ability to knit wounds back together and remove sickness from others, allowing them to heal faster than average. Healing has always been Bram’s main interest since he stayed with the Fae those years ago. Helping people mend from an immense pain created by illness or injury has always placed a smile on his face. He is proud of this ability, going lengths to train it constantly in hopes of advancing the ability further. Stamina is excellent with this ability, Bram capable of healing numerous people, although, energy take varies on the weight of the injury. When healing, Bram can only heal one person at a time unless it is a meagre cut. His hands need to cover over the wound, minor wounds only need a single hand, however, larger wounds will require two. If he is forced away from the patient, the healing process will cease until Bram gets close enough again. Despite his capability, Bram is unable to heal himself with this ability, which means only other healers can mend his wounds. Aura Cast -- Intermediate The ability to heal people in a 6-meter radius, allowing people in the area to experience approximately 6 weeks of healing in 6 minutes. The ability can only be cast once a day, resulting in 10 minutes of drain and a complete diminishing on magic reserves. The side effects of this ability were always concerning to Bram, resulting in him only using it as a last resort; especially considering he cannot choose who gets healed. Because of his lack of skill, the healing takes approximately 8 minutes and the amount of drained time is roughly 12 minutes. This ability oftentimes results in Bram feeling a little sick afterwards since it drains his body heavily, making it difficult for him to even walk without assistance. Life’s Grasp -- Intermediate An ability which can allow the user to help another individual cling onto life, although, it only works for a limited amount of time and drains energy quickly. Those who are deceased for more than 10 minutes cannot be temporarily brought back from death. This ability doubles as minor healing which divides the injuries between himself and the target, although, lethal injuries tend to disappear or cause incredible pain on the user. After accomplishing this, Bram is in a position of both pain and tiredness, the draining effects likely causing him to faint. He can only do this ability once a week at most, but it still takes a toll on his body. Physical contact is required to allow Bram to bring the individual back, otherwise, the ability will fail. If he focuses enough, he can extend the amount of time someone can hold onto life. He cannot induce death with the ability. Zoopathy -- Natural The ability to speak to animals and understand what they are saying. During his time with the Fae, Bram slowly developed this ability because of the consistent interactions with animals. He adores speaking to animals, getting attached to some, ultimately making him refuse to eat certain meats. He usually speaks to wildlife and pets and tends to avoid livestock since he fears getting attached and possibly upsetting himself. This ability has allowed him to survive in the wild for days because of his intense understanding of animals, which ultimately made his journey to Lorsette easier. Poison Immunity -- Natural The ability to be immune to any type of poisons, even those which are more potent. Poison can never kill Bram, making it easier for him to survive these toxins. Unfortunately, this can result in medicines having a weaker effect. Potions and more magic based medicines are the only things which can assist in a healing project. Poisons of the magic category can give Bram mild flu-like system at their most potent. backstory TRIGGER WARNING: Physical abuse After four girls being born into the Van Dijk family, Bram was finally born as the first and only male in his direct family. He was born in Amsterdam, Netherland, a beautiful place he grew quite fond of from a young age. They were a family who worked strictly for the Assembly of Phantoms under a variety of jobs; as long as there was AP association, they cared little for the occupation. Working alongside Assembly forces was an expectation, and one frequently mentioned among the family. In his youth, Bram never thought about the implications which arrived with a heavy Assembly association; during his childhood, they resulted in some serious tones at a time. Although, there was only a brief amount of time for Bram to ponder such curiosities since during his young years he began ailing. The boy was frequently sick and required medical attention, and when the reasoning behind his illnesses came to light, it was realized Bram was suffering from an abundance of magical energy. Notions were thrown into the air, the medical professionals believing the parent’s best choice would be allowing Bram to live among the Fae for a few months until he was indicted into Fae culture. They were upset since their training plans were paused because the six-year-old boy would need to keep away. Ultimately, they guided Bram to the depths of the wilderness, slowly explaining he would need to stay among the Fae. They promised to return before leaving the child alone, promising they would come. Time was spent waiting, the young child waiting until, finally, something arrived to guide him. Those mysterious creatures adopted the sickly youth, Bram finding comfort as he was brought to a small group of them. The Fae were mysterious to Bram but incredible as they showed him the world’s beauty. Nature became a major contributor to Bram’s happiness as an exploration of the beautiful scenery brought smiles to the young boy’s face. Many skills were carefully taught, Bram gradually becoming indicted, his transformation eventually coming when the ceremony finally began. When the boy joined the ceremony, life finally improved incredibly as he recovered from the symptoms of sickness. Weeks afterwards, Bram was granted permission to return, the Fae finding somebody to escort the young boy home. Gradually, the Fae who held his hand led him up the concrete sidewalk, turning down the little stone path to the familiar walls and doors of his home. There was a broad smile on Bram’s face as he hurried up the steps and knocked on their cute, red door. When the door opened, his parents were surprised as they slowly opened the door and invited their youngest son inside. They welcomed him home, an overzealous Bram enjoying his parent’s company before rushing to his room to find an odd surprise. Two beds were inside the room, and a young, red-haired boy. Immediately, the young faekin cocked his head to the side as his parents explained this was his newest brother and his name was Vance. Unexpectedly, Vance became a wonderful addition to Bram’s family and room, his “brother” more so being his best friend. The fact Vance was adopted only increased Bram’s views of him being a friend opposed to a brother, although, there was always something lurking in his mind which maintained those beliefs. Vance became the most supportive person in Bram’s life, even allowing him to sleep beside him whenever he would have a nightmare. When Bram became eight, his parents started pressuring him to train in becoming an Assembly soldier. They trained him hard, pushing him to his limits, which the young Faekin despised. Should he get an injury and require a break, they would become upset at his lack of commitment to becoming a soldier. At times, they would become too rough, resulting in Bram requiring healing. The lessons they taught were upsetting to their son, especially after being raised by a group of Fae who taught him the incredible powers of healing. Evidently, Bram’s healing abilities flourished from his Fae lessons and continued self-education, thus the boy had requested numerous times for his training to be switched to a medical-based one, however, his parents always refused. They insisted Bram needed to become a strong soldier, the notion being crucial for their family considering the Van Dijk men were known for her combat capabilities. Thus to Bram’s disdain, he was forced to proceed in fighting lessons. Resentment began festering when his parents refused to switch him to healing lessons, Bram feeling as though his teachings from the Fae were going to waste. Fighting was difficult, Bram getting injured frequently because of his ineptness in combat. While he failed, Vance appeared to be an incredible fighter, the young man becoming impressive in his opinion. The endless stress manifested from having become a soldier brought pain to Bram as he became nervous from the disappointed words and glances. Around the age of twelve, the young Faekin was proving to have sleep difficulties. These difficulties started because of his anxieties overtraining. Plenty of nights were spent journeying to Vance bed and snuggling in next to him because he could not sleep. Eventually, his parents booked an appointment with a doctor and after some testing, Bram was diagnosed with insomnia. Surprise briefly touched his parent’s eyes, but Bram noticed something underneath those eyes, frustration. Recovery time and adjustment to the recent diagnostic was not provided, his parents focusing on pushing Bram further, the stress becoming unbelievably pressuring, especially with more developments. Nights of snuggling with his adopted brother resulted in Bram’s feelings for the teen he labelled as a friend opposed to a sibling brought forth a concerning curiosity. Puberty manifested strange feelings, Bram lacking friends to experiment with recent developments, thus, he and Vance participated in more clandestine actions. Throughout their interactions, Bram always thought there something wrong with the activities they participated in, yet, he adored being provided with this special attention. Through the intense stress of homeschool and soldiering lessons, the young teen found these experiments and curiosities explored between him and Vance to be relaxing, albeit, confusing. Endless confusion and anger towards the soldier lessons made Bram’s adolescent years rough, but the bombshell his parents dropped only worsened matters. They declared they would be moving to Aria Village, Canada a few months before Bram’s 15th birthday. The young boy was appalled since he adored being in Neatherland. There were plenty of times he begged his parents to let him stay where he was happy, but he was refused each time. The day they packed up their home and moved across the sea, Bram was evidently upset. The adolescent’s feet dragged beneath him as he steered himself for the journey which sparked further resentment towards his parents. He began disliking them, Bram close to Vance as they left and entered Canada, all preparations being properly executed for the Van Dijks to enter Canada. Finding enjoyable traits about Canada was difficult despite the extensive work in learning the English language and the interesting new wildlife. Admittedly, Bram was extremely homesick, especially since Vance was working as an Assembly soldier while he was held back because of his pathetic fighting attempts. After a while, he grew defiant and started being snippy to his parents, the young boy thoroughly showing his resentment towards them. That was when the worse moments in his life would manifest and haunt him for years. He remembered mouthing them off because they were upset about his failures, his father’s hand lifting before meeting his cheek in a harsh slap. The young teen was slammed to the ground and forced to endure abuse, his father punching him while screaming insults. Only when Bram began crying and asking for forgiveness did he finally stop, the young boy being told to obey and tell nobody about the abuse. Days passed, bruises and cuts becoming a regular on Bram’s skin, the young boy commonly stating he was training hard to catch up, but those were lies. Whenever he failed, there would be punishment at the hands of his parents, Bram living each day with fear; he needed to escape. Eventually, Bram applied for a simple store clerk job during his training and started taking various odd jobs. He felt the police would not assist him, therefore he dumped his resources into getting money so he could escape when he became 18. For three years, he endured his horrible home life and kept it a secret from his siblings. When his 18th birthday arrived, Bram was thrilled and mostly remained to celebrate his last day with Vance. As he spent time with his beloved brother, there was sorrow evident in his eyes. The next morning, he stuffed clothes into a backpack once everyone left. He grabbed food, water, his wallet and finally, the SD card from his phone. The device was smashed, and Bram left home. He walked mostly, the young man leaving Aria Village and heading to Lorsette. His skillfulness in zoopathy allowed him to travel smoothly and safely to Lorsette. When he arrived, he enlisted in the TRS as a field medic and used his money to buy an apartment. He has remained their since, succeeding in his classes, buying a new phone and working hard to take care of himself, although, he missed Vance every day. misc - Likes: Books, sweets, helping, Netherland, Europe, old buildings, hugs, snuggling, video games, cooking, exploring, fae, nature, plants, gardening, swimming - Dislikes: Fighting, injuries, bruises, insults, his parents, horror movies, abuse, loud noises, moving, the Assembly, being teased, piercings, tattoos, breaking his glasses, fire, pollution - Fears: Abuse, fighting, his parents - Bram speaks fluent Dutch from living in the Netherlands.
