| PLEASE NOTE -- THIS THREAD WILL BE EDITED AND INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED AS NEEDED. THE INFORMATION YOU SEE HERE IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED FINAL.EDIT: Added links throughout the page. Now it's kinda like a Wikipedia article. I feel good about myself now.Physical Appearance
- Height: 5' 9"
- Weight: Approx. 145 pounds
- Build: Athletic, slender
- Hair: Dark red, kept in ponytail
- Skin: Extremely pale, comparable to that of a vampire
- Eyes: Black
- Other distinguishing features:Cockney accent (NOTE: I'm not quite sure what the equivalent would be called in Olden's lore, but that's what it sounds like). Her eyes are completely black, with no whites or irises.
- Preferred Attire: A dark brown, hooded, floor-length, leather cloak, of which she evidently possesses multiple copies.
General Information- Relationships and Affiliations (with quotes from Brenna's journal):
- Robyn Kluge: "Robyn seems a bit sad sometimes about her family and the like. I keep trying to help her find a hobby to take her mind off things, but so far it hasn't been working..."
- Ross Faciat: "You know, for someone in my squad, you'd think I'd see him more. But I haven't seen him in a good bit, actually."
- Stom Razel: "Captain Razel says that some recruit says that I'm mentally unfit for duty. He seems to be fine with me, though, so I'm not really worried."
- Deven Shaw (AKA Deven Cakebread): "By the gods, I miss Deven. That reminds me. I need to talk to Duncan about the funeral..."
- Carnegie the Sugarplum Whore: "So now people are claiming I tried to buy some super-poison from this guy. AND he calls me a 'nun bitch.' Great. Still, he doesn't seem like a BAD person. Just kind of.. well, I can't really think of any way to describe him."
- Kira Fyne: "So far my attempts to find out where that stupid bitch Kira lives have been rather fruitless. I'd really rather not follow her there, though, because that might tip her off. I just need to wait for the right time to strike, and then... Well, I'll clean up after myself. I mean, that's just common courtesy. Also, I'd rather not get caught."
- Kurt Eytinge: "I wish Deven would get better so that this twit wasn't tending the bar. Then again, Deven won't let me have any kind of alcohol, which is a bit annoying. Maybe he isn't ALL bad..."
- Volten Ogoni: "He STILL hasn't kept his promise to teach me some fire magic..."
- Christopher Shaw: "I don't really like him, but at least he got those stupid voices to shut up."
- Laeira Nesafar: "Finally, SOMEONE appreciates my art..."
- Ganelon Brama: "I mean, it doesn't really matter to me, considering I barely knew him, but I still can't help but wonder why I haven't seen him around lately..."
- Linera Windwalker: "I'm fairly sure she just asked me to that ball. Well, provided that Solus isn't going. Except, I'm not into women. Not really. Well.. I guess I could see it happening. Oh, gods, what am I saying? No, that's just... well, it can't be that bad. It's.. it's not that I have a problem with it though.. It's just that... Yeah. I think I'd prefer to be friends with her. But does that mean I can't call her Lin? I think Lin suits her a bit better."
- Terri Solana:"Terri seems okay. Haven't really talked to her, though."
- Cyona Vale: "Stupid arrogant bitch with her stupid nobility. How does she know that I'm not nobility too, huh? I mean, I'm not, but still. Well, maybe I am. No, probably not. But that would be nice."
- Duncan Atterson: "So Duncan and I sort of... did it for the first time. And... I'm just trying to stop thinking about it for enough time that I can concentrate on something a bit more important, like where I'm going to be hunting today..."
- Saren Ola: "He seems nice, but quite frankly that was really stupid of him to go jumping into that hole yesterday. At least he has a nice hat."
- Balthazar Barnaby: "Seems like a proper gentleman."
- Solus Weathers: "You know, I just realized I've never actually talked to that man. Though to be honest, he's a bit creepy. I'm sure he's okay.. once you get to know him. After all, Lin gets along with him just fine. So does everyone else, actually. Doesn't change the fact that he's creepy."
- Marcus Olm: "Stupid fucking tiefling with his stupid fucking magic and his stupid fucking smug little grin and his stupid fucking horns and his stupid fucking eyes..."
- Robert Brasco: "I wish Robert would get rid of that stupid dog. Preferably that he'd let ME get rid of him, but that'll never happen. At the very least, he should keep him on a leash or at his house or something."
- Adyna Tegerain: "I feel so ashamed of myself. I mean, how could I get SO drunk that I.. did... things.. with this girl? And worse, that means I cheated on Duncan. But I didn't mean to... I'm not even into girls anyway, I was just drunk..."
- Alexandrea White: "I got into a fight with this girl at the ball. I didn't throw the first punch, though. But I was also kind of drunk. Okay, I was drunk. Okay, REALLY drunk. I can't really remember what started it, but I remember I saw her and her girlfriend kissing or something."
- Brenna Arrakis currently possesses the rank of Linesman in the Blackwatch.
- Skills:
Combat Skills
- Swordsmanship: Brenna has basic training in the ways of the sword as a result of being in the military, though she is quite honestly terrible.
- Archery: Brenna is a highly proficient archer, able to make many difficult shots, though she is by no means a master. She has no idea how to operate a crossbow, however.
- Firearms: Brenna has basic training in the use of a matchlock arquebus, though she is not nearly as good of a sniper as she is an archer.
- Unarmed combat: Brenna is no master martial artist, though angering her might not be the best idea unless you want a bloodied nose.
- Thrown weapons (spears, shiruken, knives, etc.): Brenna is very embarrassed about it, but she has a terrible throwing arm. It's not that she's not strong enough, rather, she almost always misses whatever she's trying to hit.
Other Skills
- Magic: Brenna has no training at all in the magical arts.
- Stealth: No matter how much she tries, Brenna is absolutely terrible at sneaking up on things.
- First Aid: Brenna knows that if someone is bleeding, you should try to stop the bleeding. That's about it.
- Cooking: Brenna couldn't cook if her life depended on it.
- Riding: Brenna can ride a horse. That doesn't mean she should.
- Swimming: Brenna is like a fish. A fish with arms and legs.
- Musical Talents: An incredibly talented ocarina player, Brenna can easily play any song you teach her, and she has a good singing voice to boot.
- Current Tasks:
- Find out more about your past
- Gee, it sure is boring around here...
- Perhaps you should start searching for another job, then?
- Make puppets of everyone!
- Achievements and Milestones:
Career   Training Personal    Misc.      
- Biography - Brenna's Journal:
Where to begin? I don’t know. I guess I should just start with the biggest thing. So, uh, today I found out I have no soul. Lovely. You know, I’m not even sure how that’s possible. Doesn’t everyone have a soul? How can I not have a soul? Does that mean I’m undead, then? Well, that mage said that technically I am. Except that I never died. Or, rather, the body never died. I’m not the body. I’m just a soul. I know that contradicts what I just written down, believe me, I do, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around this. I can’t understand it. From what I gather, I’m.. artificial. I was created. That explains, I suppose, why I can’t remember my life before a month and a half ago, but I can remember how to speak and use a bow and dress myself and the like. It’s all... it’s.. I don’t even know what the word for it is. It’s... built-in. That’s it, it’s built in. I’m not an amnesiac. I never forgot anything. The memories weren’t there in the first place. I can’t think of how that’s possible. I can’t imagine it. I’m dead. I’m not alive. I’m not a vampire, though. I’m... I’m like a golem. Except the problem with that is the fact that I know what a golem is. I’ve read about them (I think, maybe that’s just more of what was already there). They’re not smart. They don’t have independent thought or emotions. But I do. The mage said it’s because it’s a tradeoff. Whoever created me gave me intelligence and such, but at the cost of me barely being able to remember things that happened two seconds ago unless I make a concentrated effort. I suppose there’d be no point in remembering anything anyway if I couldn’t understand any of it. What would be the point of remembering a great painting if you didn’t understand what art even was? There wouldn’t be. He said that I used to be someone else. Or, rather, that there was someone else in my body. She’s probably dead now, though. But she could also be imprisoned somewhere. It’s tough, knowing I’m not supposed to be here. I feel like maybe I should just embrace my fate, then. Just give up. I mean, I was probably supposed to be completely mindless. Just standing there and following orders or whatever. Maybe that’s what I should do, then. But I can’t bring myself to do that either. The woman that was here before me... I’ll never meet her. It makes me wonder if her name was Brenna. Was this just some name they gave me, then? That means there IS no Brenna. Nobody’s here. He says I’m being held together by some sort of powerful magic. What do I do, then? I’m dead. I’m DEAD. How do I.. I can’t comprehend it. I feel like I’m not complete now. Like these hands aren’t mine.
- Notable Quotes:
- "Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not scared. You can't, can you? I know you are. Everyone is. You see these eyes? They are always there. I am always watching you. I am there when you sleep. I am there when you die. I will follow you to your grave, like a whisper."
- "I say a lot of things. Most of it is bullshit."
- "You're starin' at me, Ross, though truth be told, I kind of like it."
- "I'm not sure if he's better or not. I mean, there's evidence towards both. Evidence towards him feelin' better is that he's not as pale, and he's movin' about. But he's also not makin' wisecracks or flirtin', so it could go either way."
- “Fire and memory. That’s what defines us. That’s what makes us human, what makes us intelligent. Two things that separate us from the birds and fish and bears, and two things I don’t have. Fire makes tools. Tools build cities, tools are industry and innovation. And memory, well... All animals have emotion. They feel pain. A dog is sad when his caretaker never interacts with him. A turtle is happy when she finds food. They make be base, maybe primal, but they are emotions nonetheless. But you see, Deven, what men and women have that they don’t is memory. When we die, there are others to remember us. When we are born, there are records. That is memory. You all have two things, Deven, and they are for what I am searching -- fire and memory.”
- "There's a really creepy lady at the top of the stairs. She kind of looks like the one from my dream..."
- "I prefer the rain. The water. Gives the world life. It's funny, how I appreciate nature and its creation, yet my job is to destroy."

| Interesting concept, but there are a few problems with it. First and foremost, was this in approval or did you just post it directly here? She could use an examination by the lore writers to make sure she doesn't contradict anything, and her abilities might need to be looked over as well. Secondly, there's this: - Critical Tortoise wrote:
- Chosen Deity: Tyr and Shar
I don't think that's entirely possible, as these deities' dogmas run almost counter to each other. However, if she's following both out of sheer ignorance, then that's fine. | |

| No, this was posted directly here. For some reason, it wouldn't let me start a new topic in approval. I can try again if needed. And yeah, it's pretty much out of ignorance. And she really only OFFICIALLY worships Tyr anyway due to her being in the Blackwatch. Privately, she'd say she worships Shar. | |

| Great job accepting an incomplete bio everyone, Critical even said it was incomplete in the opening post. Does anyone know why Brenna is the way she is? What her origins are, why she's in Surna, or how she got her skills? Does anyone know why she's in Blackwatch, despite literally being soulless and something of an abomination (who worships Shar in private)?
I want to know what the admins think before passing my verdict. | |

| An incomplete character can't be involved in the RP, Munroe is right. I'd like elaboration on what Brenna is before this is injected into the server. | |

| Currently Brenna is under my wing, and I'm not certain if it'd be benefical if her origins were publicly revealed. Crit and I are starting to form a decent picture of what has happened to her and how she came to be, and the side-effects of her being what she is. If you're concerned over it, feel free to ask us and help solidify the story. | |

I want to know what the admins think before passing my verdict. Actually, I didn't say she was an incomplete character. I said the information is not final, and it never will be, because characters develop as time goes on. I consider all my characters on all servers to be permanent works in progress. I said the information was not final, meaning it would be updated in accordance of what happened in the RP. Now, to address your other concerns: she is an artificial soul. They have been programmed, more or less. I know some may think I'm saying this as a cheap way out, but really, it's logical. She is in the Blackwatch because nobody was aware of her condition at the time of her recruitment, including Brenna herself. Why she is in Surna and what her EXACT origins are, will remain unposted for the time being for reasons Moot presented in the previous post. | |

You're going to have to at least reveal it to an admin, because you'll need their accept to RP. | |

| Ah. Well, in that case, either Moot or I could explain it to an admin. I am the one who RPs as Brenna, though she is more or less a creation by both of us.
...That sounded vaguely dirty. | |

| Another character that has been in limbo. I throw in my accept because I haven't found Crit trying to power/metagame in roleplay. The archery I would like to see toned down a tad, especially considering the military wouldn't be training anyone in use of a bow. | |
