Name: Bran'rok Grimfang

Nickname: Bran

Archetype: Isolated Loner

Species: Orc

Sex/Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual (Slight preference for men)

Hair: Short black mohawk and trimmed black beard.

Eyes: Red.

Age: 32

Height: Very tall (7'4")

Outfit: Bran tends to lean towards casual clothing with dark colors, usually black t-shirts with jeans or work pants and comfortable shoes. He frequently wears a metal necklace shown to depict an animal skull, mostly because he likes the aesthetic. He wears boxers for underwear.

Features: Bran's build is very muscular, with enough muscle definition to show that he puts in effort to maintain his build. His shoulders are very broad, and his pectorals are particularly large. He has green skin, orcish tusks, and his ears are pointed. He keeps his beard trimmed. There is a darker bush of hair around his groin and forming a "treasure trail" up to and past his navel. His armpits, when exposed, are also hairy. He wears cheap deodorant to help cover his naturally musky scent.

Speech: He has a deep, masculine tone to his voice. He speaks in a very rough and casual manner.

Genitals: In his natural state, Bran's cock is quite thick and large, enough that it would be difficult for him to fit in a partner. His balls are heavy and hang low between his legs. His loads are very large and plentiful, and he recovers from sex quickly.

Personality: Stoic, deadpan, gruff, lonely, creative, quiet, touch-starved, reckless, protective, direct, and paternal.

Likes: Drawing, Chinese food (though he's not picky), roleplaying games, heavy metal music, feeling needed, showing off his strength, coffee.

Dislikes: Loud and sudden noises, cruelty, being left alone with his thoughts, large crowds, cherries.

Quirks: Almost always tired. Moves as efficiently and as little as possible. Prone to dark and edgy humor. Smiles faintly when talking about something that makes him happy. Looks unphased when talking about dark subjects. Takes risks without worry over his own safety. Air drums to metal songs when he's more energetic. Draws "badass" fantasy characters, especially hulking muscular men and scantily-clad women.

Abilities: Bran is quite strong and capable athletically. He is also a natural creative, liking delving into fantasy and other genres that let him look at the dark and fantastical. He is decent at drawing, usually monsters or fantasy heroes, that he does in his spare time. He also has a natural affinity for reading people and their emotions.

Weakness: Bran is deeply lonely and isolated. He has learned through experience to believe that men should hold their emotions in and show no weakness, which has led to him isolating himself further. Combined with a lack of family and a natural fear of intimidating others due to his fearsome appearance, he has no social network with which to rely on while also having a hard time actually opening up to others that show any concern for him. He inherently pushes others away, believing that the moment he reveals his actual emotions he will be abandoned.

His bitter loneliness has left him in a state of depression and suicidal ideation. While he has contemplated suicide many times, this has mostly lead to reckless behavior and a lack of regard for his own life. His depression has made it difficult for him to enjoy the things that normally make him happy, especially in his darker moods.

He also has really poor sleep, often kept up at night by dark thoughts and having trouble getting out of bed in the morning due to lack of motivation. During his harder mornings he almost always looks extremely tired.

Sexual Details: Because Bran has trouble opening up or trusting others, he has difficulty forming relationships to the point of getting to sex. He has little interest in hook-ups or meaningless sex in addition to this, leaving him rather pent-up and touch-starved until he gets a steady relationship.

Bran loves attention to his strength, loves in engaging in rough sex, and loves feeling needed. During sex he naturally takes a dominant "power top" role, and is eager to flex his muscles and receive praise from his partner. He loves using his strength and weight to pin his partner down or hold them protectively. He loves being clung to, and encourages his partner to hold onto him. He equally enjoys needy behavior from his partner, as it makes him feel desired and needed.

He also loves recognition of his musk, and will encourage attention to his armpits if interest is shown. He has a kink for locking up male partners in chastity cages, but will not push this and will only comment on it if asked. He similarly likes orgasm denial on his partners, liking how it makes his partner more needy for him. He also has a playfully possessive streak.

During sex he is very dominant and rough. He loves dirty talk and speaking filthy things to his partner during the act. Once sex is finished, he melts into tender aftercare, and will cuddle with and hold his partner. He will praise his partner for doing well, and acts very protective and possessive in the afterglow.

Background: Bran's early years were fairly normal. His father was a gamer that played computer games long before they were common in the household, and introduced him to tabletop roleplaying games as a kid. The fantasy worlds entranced him at a young age, and he started learning to draw young in order to recreate the art he found in those game books. His art style grew quite stylized in the theme of these old games, large, hyper-masculine men and attractive women in dark or brutal styles.

As he grew older, his interests expanded. He found himself naturally getting into heavy metal, and while he was no musician himself, he grew to appreciate the high energy and edgier themes in the music. He grew to have a fairly dark sense of humor and an appreciation for the macabre, something that stuck with him into adulthood.

His defining experiences happened in his late teenage and early adult years. During school, he learned early that the best way to survive was to look intimidating and show no weakness. While always a bit gruff and stoic, he ended up dating a human woman named Maxine after leaving high school. His parents died in a car accident, leaving Bran without any family. One day he ended up venting some of his concerns regarding his sexuality and feelings of isolation following this event. While initially supportive for that moment, Maxine broke up with him shortly after, telling him to be a man and stop crying over it. This shocked Bran, who was deeply hurt by the break-up and took the words to heart in the worst way.

Shortly after this, he cut himself off from what few friends he had, believing that any exposure of his feelings would lead to abandonment. He took up a job at the local library, the Oakgrove Community Library, where he works as a library assistant. This was spurred by his particular love of fantasy and books, but he kept a stoic face the entire time, keeping everyone at arm's length.

Following his isolation, his mental health started to rapidly deteriorate. He spent years with no friends or family, just his own internal voice lamenting his lack of connection, but his inability to create any due to his fear of opening up. He started eating his lunch on the library roof, many days contemplating simply letting himself fall.

Notes: A major focus of the story should be Bran trying to overcome his suicidal ideation and inability to express his emotions. Angst and comfort are very important themes. Bran desperately wants a connection to dispel his loneliness and he desperately wants to get better, and will cling to anyone that actually manages to pierce through his defenses.
