Description Name: Bran Norington
Age: Early 40s, changed at 27, but grey flecks in hair after change make him look older.
Gender: Male
Height: 6' 5"

Personality: Bran is very protective by nature, but could barely fend for himself while growing up. He spent his time in and out of hospitals with a kidney disease reading comics as the only hobby he really had the strength for. When he wasn’t reading comics, he was fantasizing about being the super hero that saves the innocent.

Becoming a werewolf is the only thing that saved his life when he was hanging on to his last thread in his late 20s. Even though he never met his sire, Bran considers his werewolfism a blessing and the door finally opening to his greatest fantasies. After the initial shock of his first several full moons and the realization of what he had become, he found it surprisingly comfortable and natural being a werewolf. When shifted he’s not prone to lashing out or going into rage-fits, often being called a were-dog by his friends.

Overall Bran is hard to offend, enjoys jokes, and is easy to get along with. However, like most of the tolerant folk, push him too far and you will really regret it. His Gevaudon form is nothing to be trifled with.

Background: There isn’t much to say about Bran’s childhood. He’s been suffering from poor health due to his kidneys all his life. His parents homeschooled him for the most part and the time he didn’t spend studying he spent reading comic books, playing video games, or watching TV. When the time for college came rolling around the only thing he ever wanted was to go into criminal justice, but he knew his health was far too poor to ever be a police officer, and his parents were falling ill as well. Between taking care of himself and his parents, the years just slipped by.

Just before his 23rd birthday his father passed away and at 25 his mother did as well, and with her went all of his medical benefits. The only thing keeping Bran alive was his meager inheritance which paid for his enormous medical bills and not much else. By 27 he was suffering severely and running out of money, but finally made it to the top of the kidney transplant list. Little did he, or the doctors, know it was a werewolf kidney. Within days of the surgery his health recovered to something far greater than any doctor could have imagined, or had seen. The first full moon after his surgery, Bran's "miracle recovery" had an explanation.

Bran wandered a bit before settling on a small town in Colorado as his new home. He works as a ranger, wilderness EMT and rescuer.

This also finally gave me a chance to solidify Bran's wolf colors. And I totally stole the background idea from ~hellcorpceo

I'm not sure what that question means?

He is an RP character of mine that I currently use in a private RP with friends.

I really like this character, and the way in which he became a werewolf. Very different.

Your art, of course, is absolutely lovely.

It’s a good thing to be laid-back when you can change into something bigger than a bear.

I love the werewolf kidney! That seems like such a viable moneymaking scheme for an unscrupulous werewolf... kidney donation. It'll probably just grow back (in fact, I think I remember reading a werewolf novel where organ donation was mentioned as the primary income of one strange individual).

I totally need to change my were character's color scheme now. It is identical to Bran's.

SageKorppi In reply to Ciameth [2011-05-10 21:15:24 +0000 UTC]

Oh man! Great minds think alike (on those colors). Sorry about that!

I love your character by the way!

Ciameth In reply to SageKorppi [2011-05-10 22:27:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Though I'm sure there will be a lot of similar color schemes in Moontouched (I like that the group insists on natural coloration; it will cut out the borderline sparkle/gloom wolves and hopefully inspire greater focus on creating characters that are distinguished by personality and more subtle physical traits), I did end up recoloring Tori since Bran's light brown back, light gray body, white underbelly and feet are fairly unique for a wolf and she was literally identical (great minds indeed). However, I'm very pleased with her new color scheme!

I agree with Silver-Sully, that is an incredibly inventive way to be infected.

Oh wow, I like his backstory. He seems like a really well-developed, interesting character to me. I bet he'd be awesome to RP with.

Draw more of him please.

WEREWOLF KIDNEY.

That is by far the best werewolf infection story of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!

Love this character, love his design. He sounds like a real cool guy. We should hang.

I need to get my dude drawn up some time. x3
