Brett Jermaine

***Tutorial: Editing Character Box***

## Overview

Little is known about Brett’s true origins as he was found as an orphaned baby washed up to shore close to Eagle's Lyghthouse. With no one to care for him, the baby was taken to the House of Lyfe and raised amongst the clerics of the order as an acolyte.

Brett showed an aptitude for divine magic and quickly was pushed along the path of a cleric, tutored and raised by the nun in charge of orphaned acolytes, a lady called Mother Sophia, or Ma Sophia affectionately, who came from the far off land of Petrillo. Ma Sophia had an iron hand, but also a kind heart and along with her chief nuns; Sister Rose of Nylund, Sister Blanche of Devereaux and Sister Dorothy of Zbornak, they managed to quickly elevate Brett to the point where he was ready to accept the path of a cleric for life.

As is tradition, before devoting oneself to the House of Lyfe, any young acolyte or cleric must go on Rumspringa, a final adventure and look at life outside of the monastery to see if they are ready to uptake the burden of cleric hood or if they would rather leave and instead live a less spiritual life.

Brett set out on his journey and quickly intermingled with the good folk in and around Mystward. He met a fellow adventurer called McKenzie Clement and the two decided to start a travelling band, spreading music and cheer through the town. This was however a very short lived career as unfortunately neither of them had skill or proficiency in music or any musical instruments, thus making their efforts an exercise in futility. During a ‘gig’ one night in the town square, Brett spotted a commotion as someone had been attacked by an unknown creature and lay dying. On instinct he rushed to heal them with his divine magic and realised that this was his true calling in life, quickly returning to the House of Lyfe.

Brett took his final devotions and confirmed himself as a cleric for life, dedicating himself to the support of The Seven Faiths, swearing to Parent Adorallen Lyghtbrynger to heal those in need and protect life whenever possible.

With the arrival of the Shadow Incursion Brett’s life has rapidly changed. The House of Lyfe has fallen from grace and many of the clerics who raised him have disappeared, either vanishing in the night or going on missions of mercy that they never return from with no trace of their whereabouts. This includes Ma Sophia, who is currently a much noticed loss to the order.

## Appearance

Brett stands at 5’ 10” tall and looks to be in his early twenties. Due to his Rumspringa days he looks like someone out of a shit indie band, with the exception of his face usually being fairly well shaven.

He commonly wears chain mail armour covered by the white robes of his order and more often than not a visible holy symbol around his neck. Brett usually hides this symbol under his robes if he for any reason has to be under cover or cautious of whom he might meet, so when not visible it is usually a good sign that Brett feels there is potential danger around.
