Biography:
Distance

-Mistake. Disappointment. Abomination. These are the words that Brendan’s family uses to describe him.. His father’s side that is. His mother was your typical muggle while his father belonged to the pureblooded Alexander family. The Alexander’s were disgraced when they found out that Gavin (Brendan’s father) had ran off to France and married a muggle. They refused to attend the wedding and when Brendan was born they refused to add him to the family tree. As far as they were concerned the small child never existed and they intended to keep it that way.

-Although his father encouraged him not to be a stranger to magic, Brendan had trouble understanding the fun in it. He would have much rather spend his time alone playing his cello than learning bout wand lore. This of course inflamed his father for he felt as though Brendan was trying to avoid the other side to him. He was angry that his son wasn’t putting forth any effort and felt as though he had suffered for nothing. Brendan quickly took note of his father’s disappointment and forced himself to enjoy his magical side . It was through this forced learning that Brendan developed a love for divination and began dreaming of being a professor.

Bonds

-At the age of ten Brendan’s mother suffered a massive heart attack and died. For days Brendan sat in silence simply staring at life as it passed. He ignored his father completely which caused their already weak bond to wither. He became uninterested in both his music and magic. He often feared that he would die of sadness, but he could never find a way to cheer himself up.

Limbo

-As he entered the local muggle middle school, Brendan had trouble with relating to the other students. He was quiet, shy, and felt better keeping to himself. His strange behavior caused him to be constantly teased and laughed at. He hated the way the other children were teasing him, but he refused to change himself. Brendan felt comfortable when he was quiet. Fore he was able to gain a vast amount of knowledge. Of course he asked the occasional question during class, but for the most part he stayed in the background

Closer

-On the cusp of his eleventh birthday, his father explained to him that he would have to start studying at Beauxbatons. Brendan hated the idea of having to leave the house where his mother had passed, but he also thought it would be a good idea to start fresh. He would be able to leave behind his sadness and be able to become a new person.

Reaching

-Brendan and his father still aren’t close. They try their best to enjoy each other’s company, however, there is something missing. Although Brendan realizes this, he is perfectly comfortable. He doesn’t see the point in trying to fix what he and his father once had. He would much rather focus on the future than worry about the past.

SAMPLE ROLEPLAY

Brendan sat in the dinning hall twiddling his thumbs and flipping through the pages of his journal. It had been a long time since he felt the urge to write or create a peaceful compisition. He wasn't sure why he had lost his muse, but it he was sure that it had something to do with being away from home. At home there was always something to write about. Whether it  be about his father, the distance between them, or even just a simple event at school.

School. That was it!

A bright light bulb went off in Brendan's head which caused a small smile to jump on his face. He didn't know why he hadn't thought of it before, but school would be the perfect thing to write about. He could create a poem about how he lost his muse from being so far away from home or, he could create a cello piece that highlighted the movement around him .

Flipping to a blank page Brendan decided he would start with the poem. After a few seconds of "centering" himself, he was ready to start. Temptation is... He had only gotten two words down when he heard a student trip, which was followed by food being spilled all over his journal and him.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!"

Brendan, being the kind and gentle person that he was smiled at the girl.

"It's perfectly alright. That bag shouldn't have been there in the first place". Standing up he brushed the unknown bag out of the way so no one else would trip. Then he took up a napkin and began wipping the food from his shirt.

"I'm Brendan", he said offering the girl another friendly smile. The accident wasn't her fault and besides everyone makes mistakes.
