HAIR — Brendon's hair is a deep and rich chocolate brown in color and is thick, having a heavily layered appearance. His bangs hang over his forehead, sweeping down to just below eyebrow length but grow to frame the sides of his face. Brendon's hair ends at the nape of his neck, although it's thickness gives it a very unruly appearance, filling out in all directions.

EYES — Brendon's eyes are a vivid shade of amber, and are large in size to reflect his younger age.

BODY — Being fourteen, and lacking the maturity of puberty, Brendon's features remain to be boyish. His cheeks are slightly chubby, his eyes larger and round. He stands at a shorter stature of 5'3". His body, although short, is not lanky; instead slim and fully filled out.

DEER ATTRIBUTES — As a Zlatorogs, Brendon has some distinct deer features even while in human form. Atop his head, peeking out through his hair, are a pair of furry ears and small antlers. The intricate carvings within his antlers cause them to glow gold.

ZLATOROGS APPEARANCE — In his deer form he is still represented by an adolescent fawn. His coat is white-gold with a glowing shimmer always present, encompassing his whole form.


"I prefer to be left alone. I really don't like school, it's really annoying. I liked it more when Ms. Bell was here and she homeschooled me. I don't really get along with the other boys at my school. I don't get into fights or anything, but I just refuse to really talk to anyone and I just do my own thing. I could never get away with being too reckless or my dad... he would have gotten on my case."

"My mom was always gone a lot, too... so really Ms. Bell was the one who raised me most of the time. She used to tell me that I was a real handful. Sometimes I wouldn't listen to her and run off to play when I was a kid. But, I learned that I couldn't and shouldn't do things like that because, well, it was mean. And then she was also the adult..."

"I like staying in the castle, it's what feels the safest for me. But, I did really like it when me and Ms. Bell went out to the park or for field trips. But, I still feel... or felt... the safest in the castle. But now, everything is going to be different. My mom and dad are both gone and I don't know what's going to happen to me..."


ENHANCED SPEED — Brendon has the power to effortlessly move at a much faster speed than the average person. At a top speed he would be able to go far beyond what can be emulated via natural training for a regular person. However, his speed is not to the extent of a supernatural level.

ENHANCED LEAP — He has the ability to jump farther and higher than an average person. Since a young age, Brendon has been rather active and thus he is quite adept at bounding effortlessly over obstacles that would otherwise be difficult if not impossible for the average person. However, he has learned the hard way that he must always be mindful of how high or far he goes as his body cannot always handle the impact.

ENHANCED DEXTERITY — Brendon's body and mind have the innate ability to effortlessly and precisely control movements and muscles, which makes him remarkably far more balanced than the average person. His body's dexterity often allows him to land on his feet and preform incredibly deftly in maneuverability. He's quite the little professional when it comes to climbing and balancing on objects that are out of bounds for the average person. He is also quite good at crafting things and does enjoy it as a hobby.

ENHANCED SENSES — Brendon possesses extremely accurate senses that allow him to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel on an enhanced spectrum. He can pick up sounds, smells, and tastes from impressive distances not capable by the average person. Being an innate ability built into him from birth, Brendon can effortlessly and unconsciously distinguish layer upon layer of the sense he is picking up, often being able to also pinpoint its location. For taste and smell, he is able to tell if something foul or perhaps poisonous is about. He is also able to sense the approach of rain or nearby sources (such as the lake, ocean, fruit trees, etc) via smell and taste. While with touch, if he places his hand against the floor he can feel the vibrations of nearby activity. Because of his enhanced vision, he can see with greater clarity over longer distances, he experiences color more vividly, and is able to clearly peer through the dark.

LIGHT MANIPULATION — Brendon has the power to create, shape, and manipulate visible light. Although he is not too advanced in its techniques. Aside from playing around with balls of light to which he uses to confuse and impress the wildlife, he doesn't really care for the ability. Because of his enhanced vision he finds that manipulating light can actually be an irritant to him and when it becomes too bright it hurts his eyes.

DEER SHIFT — Being a Zlatorog, Brendon is able to freely and effortlessly shift between his human and deer form. The processes is done magically and inflicts no harm or discomfort upon him. For more information on his deer form's aesthetics please see appearance.

ETERNAL YOUTH — He has the ability to stop the aging process. However, at fourteen, this is yet to be introduced.



Charles Redal was a Zlatorog who met his match in Gwenevieve, a Cherubim with a youthful face whom had spent the majority of her life serving as a heavenly matchmaker. As is was taboo and often forbidden for Cherubim to seek out their soulmate, Gwenevieve's passed away before she'd been given enough years to regret. So, in the end she settled for Charles and settled into the married life and then that of becoming a mother.

Brendon was born a Zlatorog like his father, much to Gwenevieve's relief. She wanted him to live a life outside of servitude and matchmaking and, more importantly, for him to have a chance at being with his soul mate. However, Gwenevieve didn't end up becoming the the mother she had always envisioned. Both her and Charles led very busy lifestyles and all too quickly Gwenevieve's matchmaking services became a demand that left no room for the family life she had once thought she'd be settling into.

Brendon may have grown up with only sparse meetings with his parents, but he was heavily spoiled. The Redal's came from a family worth generations of fortune and at the top of its empire stood Charles Redal. Both his parents lavished him in material means, giving the boy nearly anything he ever asked for. Times that Brendon spent with his mother and father were more often than not lavish holidays and vacations. It was as though the Terror crises that had struct the world couldn't afford to effect the lives of the filthy rich. For Brendon they were never anything more than a mild cautionary, among many other things, that resulted in their estate being guarded at all times by a four man team.

With the frequent absence of his parents, Brendon was hired a live-in nanny who also dueled as his homeschool teacher. His parents referred to her as the Governess but to Brendon she was Ms. Bell. For the first couple of years that Brendon was within her charge, he was quite the handful.

Brendon grew up from infancy with Enhanced Senses and for as long as he could remember they had always simply been apart of him and his life. From as young as five, where his first memories began to circulate and take form in his mind, he had known how to manipulate his senses to pinpoint sounds or tastes. It has never been an uncomfortable or foreign thing to him. In his younger childhood days, he'd often purposely listened in on conversations, learning all sorts of secrets meant to be kept from him. For as long as he could remember, he had always known how to tell when a storm was approaching, or if it was going to rain. He could feel the vibrations under his fingers, against the floorboards, that always indicated when someone was coming to knock on his door. And for him the dark never became something he feared, because it was something he could see through with vivid clarity.

Very much so was his Enhanced Dexterity, Speed, and Leap also the same for him; something he'd been born with and came as naturally to him as eating or drinking. Never something needed to be thought about, or even practiced. He'd simply always had the natural ability to balance himself and it made for quite the adventurous childhood despite Ms. Bell's best intentions. He quite literally took leaps and bounds outside in his vast multi-acre backyard. In fact, his natural ability to never get hurt seemed to only make the young boy more daring, more bold, more reckless. Eventually it did end in catastrophe one day where he'd been rushed out to the hospital in Lorsette for a broken arm and injured leg. At the time he had stubbornly (and rebelliously) opted to heal the traditional way, vehemently refusing the easy healing aid of the many species-folk who worked there.

Brendon also loved shifting into his small fawn form. He'd spent many hours of many days for many years merely entertaining himself. He'd scoured every nook and crevice in the woods surrounding the Redal Castle. But it was through Ms. Bell's persistent involvement, as well as its longevity, and of course Mr. Redal's approval of her discipline, that Brendon's wild side was slowly curbed. The longer Ms. Bell stayed as a part of the live-in house staff, the more he began to respect her as an adult and authority figure.

Ms. Bell had also gained the respect of Mr. Redal who gave her permission to begin taking Brendon out to the local spots in Lorsette; anywhere from the park to field trips to the local museum, aquarium, and zoo. However, always accompanying them were two of the castle's bodyguards.

Further aiding to the dampening of Brendon's childlike boundless energy were feelings of discourse and unpleasantries that began to crop up and put him into depressed moods. The same feelings had briefly cropped up prior in his life, when he'd been six and on a vacation with his parents — but now they seemed here to stay. It was around this time, despite previously getting along well with Ms. Bell, that Brendon began to throw a temper tantrum over her constant need to hover like a parent of some sort and boss him around over everything. However, his fit didn't last even a year before he settled into pre-pre-teen blues.

However, at 11 Brendon was deemed old enough to look after himself. He was also enrolled into a private middle school, much like his father had been and his father's father. It was a prestigious All-Boys Academy. This was where Brendon really came face-to-face with his more reclusive nature and the fact that he hated school. He preferred Ms. Bell a thousand fold, but his fate had been written in stone by their family's deep history of tradition. However, it was also during this time that the foundation of the Redal hierarchy began to fall apart at the seams. The large family of aunts, uncles, and cousins had always been on tense terms and the discourse over Charles fortune, owned lands, and wineries, had never been a coveted secret.

Brendon was assigned one of the house bodyguards, a man by the name of Hanzo. And Hanzo became like Ms. Bell, except more annoying and more persistent. He was always there with everything that he did. He even showed up at school with him — which was embarrassing and humiliating all at the same time. For the first year, Brendon was certainly a brat to the male. But Hanzo was ever composed, stiff faced, and untouchable. Always calm, and always one step ahead of Brendon at everything he ever tried. It was infuriating. However, Hanzo's hands off approach and extreme professionalism eventually softened the edge of Brendon's rebellious act and he learned to tolerate and then accept his involvement in his life.

Their dynamics evolved further at the sudden death of his parents. The loss was devastating but also terrifying as Hanzo filled him in on the circumstances of their murder but also the uncertain future that lay ahead of him. He was the sole heir to the Redal Empire, however he was vastly underaged and parental guardianship as well as the control of the entire household was likely to go to his father's brother.

• Brendon's mother and father have recently passed away.
• Brendon has a personal bodyguard by the name of Hanzo.
• More to come...
