DOB: 05/15/1989
Gender: Male
Height: 1.9 meters/6’2 feet.

Personality:
+Determined
+Loyal
+Friendly

-Competitive
-Possessive
-Headstrong

In spite of his imposing size and near-permanent scowl, Brandt is easy and pleasant to talk to, if sometimes a bit overbearing. He is not afraid of approaching groups of people at social gatherings and has a bad habit of butting in and trying to get troubled-looking people to share their issues with him. He is committed to the people he takes a liking to and will help with whatever they need when possible. He rarely gives up on a task and will try his best to succeed at whatever he sets his mind to, sometimes past the point of sunk cost.
On the other hand, he takes even low-stakes competitions (like board games) more seriously than it is healthy. In a romantic setting, he tends to be overly jealous and not give his partner their space, which more often than not causes friction. When he gets an idea into his head, it is really hard to convince him to change his mind even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

History
Brandt was born on a small settlement off the coast of Cinnabar Island, after the volcano’s eruption had destroyed most of it, his family settled where no other place would take them. They built a small farm, where they could grow food from the volcanic soil and fish from the ocean. They prospered and had two children, a boy they named Eldir, and a girl they named Fiamma. Eldir and Fiamma worked on their parents’ farm since they were very young, both tending to crops, fishing, building and making repairs. His family was content with this life, as they had a roof over their heads and they hardly ever needed food, but as the years went by, Eldir wished to see what else was outside of their small space in the island. He expressed this desire to his family, but his parents insisted that they needed him to work the farm and keep tending to it after they passed. Eldir grew resentful with each passing day, but he felt shackled to this place and out of options. Fiamma realized he would never find happiness here, and once Brandt turned 16, she encouraged him to leave Cinnabar Island, as she could take care of the farm and her parents alone. She arranged for him to sneak out on a small fishing boat they would sometimes trade with, and a few days later, he had arrived at the Kanto mainland.

He would walk aimlessly for a long time, enjoying the sights and every so often, writing his sister about everything he had seen. However, his provisions began running low after a couple weeks, and hunting and gathering food in the wild began to turn difficult. Sometimes he would resort to stealing just to get by, and when caught he would invariably have to fight his way out. In spite of it all, he refused to return, knowing how upset his parents had gotten with Fiamma for helping him leave, he resolved to prove that he had made the right decision and make a name for himself in the world. Almost famished, he arrived at Saffron City, by far the largest city he had ever seen. There, he met at young woman named Cassandra, who kindly offered him food and shelter before he would continue on his journey. The two found it easy to get along, as Brandt had never had any friends his age to talk to, and told her stories about her travels. Cassandra shared with him that she had arrived to Saffron to become a big movie star, leaving her small hometown to accomplish her dreams. The two found common ground in their goals and became fast friends, so much so that Eldir could not bring himself to leave Saffron. He proposed they could live together for a while, to which Cassandra agreed. It did not take long for their friendship to turn into a romance.

Eldir worked tirelessly around the city in any odd job he could find, sometimes taking double and triple shifts just to cover the brunt of their living expenses, as well as send money back to his home, to prove a point rather than because his family needed it. In that time, Cassandra continued going to auditions and acting in small parts, endlessly chasing her big break. When it finally came, Eldir and Cassandra thought they had both finally made it; but the pressures of her newfound fame kept her away from home for long periods of time; in the brief moments she was back home, she seemed too tired and distant to spend any meaningful time with him, their plans to get married getting postponed further and further along the line as Cassandra’s schedule demanded. He started to feel alone and displaced, and after having supported her for so long, more than a little resentful. In an attempt to remedy this, he proposed to become her bodyguard. This would only make things worse, as he would not ever leave her side and his attempts to get closer to her, both in private and in public, were rebuked. Arguments and fights became commonplace, escalating until they became unsustainable. One disastrous and very public marriage proposal later, Cassandra decided it was better for them to go their own ways.

After such an incident, Brandt realized he had nothing anymore, and no place to go back to; he would never go back after so many years to Cinnabar Island, his pride would not allow it. But he couldn’t stay in Saffron, or anywhere else in Kanto for that matter, as every piece of media and advertisement seemed to feature her image and remind him of painful things; he needed to get away, and after hearing from a fisherman he would sometimes trade with about Oranbury, in the islands of Hearthaven, he set sail once again, trying to find a new home to escape the memories.

Job: Rancher.
Ranch name: Firebrand Ranch.

Talents:
-Excellent builder and carpenter.
-Loves karaoke, and sings surprisingly well.
-Very good at fishing.

Funfacts:
-His sister Fiamma has a Houndoom totem; after the breakup, she started writing to him almost weekly and sending him baked treats, but is content staying in Cinnabar Island to tend to her family and the farm.

- Cassandra’s totem is a Milotic. If anyone brings up this past relationship, he will quickly change topics. If pressed or drunk enough to talk about it, he will go on a long tirade blaming her entirely for the breakup. Good luck getting him to shut up after that.

-He can handle himself in a fight, but would rather avoid them, either by talking his way out or pure intimidation.

-Loves to swim, and feels at home near the coast. In his free time, he can often be found relaxing or swimming in the beach.

-Loves spicy food, and all kinds of beer. He can spend hours talking to strangers at a bar and drinking, and is no lightweight. Dislikes overly sweet foods and always seasons dishes quite aggressively.

-Hates the cold seasons and is not used to snow, but he will make do by lighting up a bonfire and inviting the neighbors for a drink.

-He does not communicate much with his parents. Whenever he does, it is very tense and his mood sours for the remainder of the day.

-Dislikes being alone with his thoughts; if there is nothing else to do, he will go wherever there’s other people to talk or hang out in anyway, except watching movies if he can avoid it.

Pet: Espurr
Name: Lily
Gender: Female
Ability: Infiltrator
Moveset:
-Telekinesis
-Covet
-Echoed Voice
-Psychic

-Lily was bought as a pet when just barely a few months old and thrown out when a psychic Pokemon with little control over her powers and a huge appetite proved too much for the family to handle. Lily spent the next few months scavenging for food in the wild, then resorting to stealing and breaking into houses to get something to eat. Brandt found her inside of her ranch and grew attached to the Pokemon, even though it quickly emptied his fridge and rearranged his furniture in one of her outburts. Lily is very attached to Brandt, and even though she doesn't show it, is very eager to protect him from harm.

-Needs to constantly eat to control her psychic powers. If she doesn't eat regularly, the first ability she loses control off is Telekinesis.
-Doesn't blink or emote, ever.
-Can telepathically communicate simple words, concepts or emotions to humans around her. If needed be she can communicate full sentences or sequences of events, but it puts great strain both on herself and the receiver. When she's stressed, this can badly hurt totem-types that are weak to psychic abilities.
-Often escapes Brandt's house and breaks into other people's, looking for more food.
