Face Claim: Cameron Monaghan
OOC Name: Ollie
CHARACTER NAME: Zander Brogthamon
AGE: 19
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Aralore
APPEARANCE: Zander is a fairly small and toned young man. The type of man you wouldn’t suspect to be as muscular as he is. He stands at 5’10” and weighs 135 pounds. He has thick, deep red hair with vibrant green eyes and a sea of freckles and scars scattered across his body like a road map with 3 particularly long and deep ones going down his back. He’s got a charming crooked smile that could light up a room though there’s usually a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
Zander cares very much about the way he looks. Maybe a bit too much. He’s spent years trying to build up weight and muscle to get the body he currently has and intends to keep it that way. He spends much of his time training or working out in some way. Usually always on the move doing something, maybe not productive but something.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
FAMILY MEMBERS: Cathleen Brogthamon (Mother, Deceased), Jaskier Brogthamon (Father, Presumed Dead), Briella Brogthamon (Younger Sister)
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Infantry Soldier
GRAMARYE GIFT: Weather Magic
Zander is able to influence and control the weather. Through a bracelet his mother gave him as a child he’s able to cause hurricanes and thunderstorms though when he doesn’t have the bracelet his control on the weather isn’t as strong. He’s able to influence it to be sunnier, cloudier, windier, or make it drizzle outside but nothing beyond that without his bracelet.
PERSONALITY: What Zander you will get depends on many factors from the time of day to if he got the breakfast he wanted that morning. At the surface Zander is sweet and playful, rarely taking anything seriously. He’s charming and witty with a confident crooked smile that’s known to melt hearts. However, should you so much as breathe in his direction at the wrong time he’s quick to explode.
He’s manipulative, known to do whatever it takes to get his way. Zander is the type of man to kill you, hide your body, then help others look for you. While he’s quick to anger he’s just as quick to return to the sweet smile and laughter as if nothing happened. He has a tendency to be arrogant but prefers to call it self confidence. Bored easily if you don’t capture the young mans attention he’s known to simply wander off on his own. Despite this he’s fiercely loyal to his family and loved ones.
Zander is very outgoing and loves meeting and talking to new people. Despite many people calling him friend there are few that really know who he truly is. He hates opening up to people. While he might talk a lot he rarely ever actually says what’s on his mind. He’s known to be flirtatious and mischievous with anyone that he meets. There’s a certain charm and poise about him that makes him easy to love. Zander takes very few things seriously and vehemently despises when he needs to. He prefers things to be fun and easy, rarely thinking past more than a moment.
HISTORY:
Zander doesn’t remember much from his childhood. Not that he would want to. He was born in Teronna in the town of Ethlund, premature with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. His little body was a greyish blue color and he wasn’t breathing. The midwives were ready to declare him dead but his mother begged and demanded that they let her hold him. While he was in her arms she started singing softly to him and suddenly he began to breath and scream. After that Zander spent much of his childhood horribly ill. It was so easy for him to get sick which only fueled to anger his father.
Zander wasn’t the strong boy that Jaskier wanted him to be. He was pale, weak, twig thin, and frail. Still, he pushed Zander to train no matter what. He wasn’t allowed many friends, his other studies were pushed to the side at best and completely ignored at worst. Jaskier forced Zander to push himself past his breaking point every day despite his mothers pleas to let him rest. When the riots began Cathleen feared for her own safety and the safety of her children, given that the three of them each held magic that the people seemed to now despise so much. While she wanted to keep her children in their home it wasn’t safe for them.
She placed Zander on a horse with his sister at the edge of the woods. Packed with food and clothes and sent them off. She said she’d meet them in Aralore, but she never made it. Hunted down and killed for being a Mystic. Zander rode as fast as he could, only knowing he needed to keep his little sister safe. After stowing away on a ship they arrived in Aralore to the isle rebuilding after its own troubles. Not knowing anything else to do Zander took up a position in the Aralore infantry under the lead of commander Naeva to care for he and his sister.
