Moved to America when the company expanded there.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> Brandt’s design in based on the black mamba. His back and top side of his tail is black, fading to a dark grey along his sides. His belly is white and this colouration extends to his human half. He is about 6m (around 19 foot) long in total and is about 2m (6’5’’) tall ‘standing’.<br/><br/>His scales are smooth and fairly small in comparison to other species. There is a long scar running parallel to his spine and crossing it halfway down his tail.<br/><br/>He is leanly muscled and many have found themselves surprised at just how quickly he can move. <br/><br/>His face is a striking combination of sharp angles combined with a blunt jaw and black eyes.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Insightful, decisive, future orientated, occasionally impulsive, much better at analysing others than himself. Often described as distant or cold upon first meeting. Friends find him warm, dependable and genuinely interested in their lives and well being.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual orientation:</strong> Heterosexual/demisexual<br/><br/><strong>Are you nobility or just upper class:</strong> Upper class<br/><br/><strong>Position in monster society:</strong> Peacekeeper (mostly retired, occasional advisor, contributes to funding) and co-founder of a pharmaceutical company <br/><br/><strong>Sex~</strong><br/><br/><strong>Caveat:</strong> <strong>Sex isn’t going to be all that great initially, but as the relationship progresses he’ll become more interested in your character’s pleasure and desires. </strong><br/><br/><strong>What are you down with, what floats that boat for you:</strong> Brandt is for the most part indifferent to sex. When he does decide to indulge his partners are paid for and would describe the encounter as mechanical and almost masturbatory.<br/><br/><strong>What makes you flat out say 'NO':</strong> He has little interest in sex acts outside of reaching a quick orgasm and reproductive purposes.<br/><br/><strong>Your inner workings~</strong><br/><br/>What kind of things do you enjoy doing or things you just particularly like: He enjoys reading human books from before the war, especially post-apocalyptic ones that got some things right. After particularly trying times he often takes solitary hiking trips, despite the concern of his good friends and spending time with those friends he has accumulated slowly over the course of his long life.  <br/><br/><strong>What kind of things either irritate or bore you: </strong>Small talk, pretentiousness, insincerity. Brandt has very little patience for the politics of the Naga courts. He has never been greedy for power and because of that he has been able to make his way up without associating with them a great deal.<br/><br/><strong>In the market for a bride/groom? Is there a special reason you're using the 'Spouse Program' or would you call it a whim?:</strong> Brandt is using the program to keep the influence of the naga nobility far away from his company.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/><br/>Brandt was born into a small, unknown clan residing at the southernmost tip of Africa. The naga population was small and had deviated from their cultural origins over generations.<br/><br/>In his early teens the village healer, who served the role of spiritual guide, psychologist and physician in one, chose his as one of his apprentices.<br/><br/>He was on his way back from a pilgrimage that was one of the final rites that would earn him the title of healer when he was met by death. He tried saving them, but it was no use. They all died. He went around to all the villages, burning the remains. Whatever had killed the naga had killed the animals too and it took months before other animals would immigrate into the area.<br/><br/>Brandt did not linger at his own village for long and wandered aimlessly for years. Eventually he would realize that it had been the humans’ doing as they developed the weapons that would lead to their own downfall. The extermination of his people had been an accident. The humans responsible would never know what they had done.<br/><br/>As the war drew to a close, Brandt was part of the first wave of monsters that made themselves known to the humans. He fought to quell the violence and bring the humans under control. The conflict took him all over the African continent. He rose in rank quickly and in the chaos of a new era in his birthing pains he crossed paths with monsters that he would otherwise have never met and made friends with individuals that would soon go from pawns to major pieces as a new world order rose.<br/><br/>His interest in medicine was reawakened after he suffered a major injury and spent a few months in a clinic that was run by a doctor who would become his partner and the other founder of the company. <br/><br/>After listening to Brandt’s description of his his early training they decided to investigate the properties of the plants that was used in Brandt’s village for healing. They discovered a wealth of useful properties in the unique plant life of the harsh semi-desert that Brandt had once called home.<br/><br/>As the world settled into its present state Brandt moved away from peacekeeping and quelling the occasional riots to focus on their expanding business.<br/><br/>That had been what had given them the capital to expand and thrive. Brandt had gone on to receive formal training as a physician, but worked mostly with the chemists in the development of medication and kept an kept an eagle’s eye on who the company employed and was often mediated conflict and misdemeanors within the company.<br/><br/>It was only recently that his success had caught up to him. He had caught the attention of his competitors who wanted to eliminate him as a potential threat my assimilating him into their clan.<br/><br/>The naga’s had been subtle in their threats, even as they tempted him with with hungry-eyed beauties with shining, vibrantly coloured scales.<br/><br/>He was furious.<br/><br/>He opened his browser and typed in the name of the site a chemist had joked about as they bemoaned their lack of free time for dating. It didn’t take him long to sign up and soon he was filtering his options. They weren’t too specific and in the end he was left with seven options. He clicked the 4th image in the row of portraits for the sake of symmetry.<br/><br/>The message he sent was brief. He would not be able to keep his anger from affecting the tone if he wrote more than was absolutely necessary.</div></div>
