80[/hr]

[profile]Appearance:[/profile][block]Brannskada, is a Phoenix Griffon. He is a tall, noble creature with the coloration of cooling magma. Dark Grey, Bright red, with flecks of yellow he is often quite the sight to see. His back half is not a lion, but more panther like in account of his body would probably look very awkward with the light back of a lion, and the old front of a Phoenix.[/block]

[profile]Special Talent:[/profile][block]Brannskada, when you truly get down too it, is very good at staying alive. After that he has a general idea of how to do most everything.[/block]

[profile]Personality:[/profile][block]Brannskada is a quick thinker, fast fighter, and if he feels like it, a charming womanizer. Mare's gotta feel, but a griffons gotta... buck? Whatever... To most he would come off as a Noble with his style of speech and elegance in his movements. Many would assume him to be a prince when in actuality, he is just really... REALLY old. When a Reincarnation lasts 70 years you can say someone has been around the block a few times.[/block]

[profile]History:[/profile][block]Many say he doesn't exist, and many more just think he is an old "Mares Tale", but he is very much so real. His legends dates back longer than even he has been alive, his egg being found by an old Griffon couple whom were unable to have an egg of there own. They thought that even thought they would probably never be able to hatch it, they would try just to say they did. So try they did, and the first thing they realized was the egg was HOT! The Griffoness had a hard enough time incubating it and just wound up laying a wing over it to trap the heat it gave off. Finally though, he hatched if a bright puff of smoke and flame, with the coloration of a new fire.



Over the several Reincarnations, his feathers grew darker and darker and his hatch parents died shortly into his first, leaving him to learn how to live on his own. His job was made easy, as the Nobles of the Griffon Kingdom though him to be a noble himself. What commoner would have such a Glorious coat of Feathers and such beautiful plumage! He learned through the Nobles how to read, do math, fight, and other useful skills, each of reincarnations being a new "Son" that the previous kept hidden away to take his place. No one bothered to Question, as no one really cared.



It wasn't till one faithful day, when Brannskada was unable to make it back to his chambers that his secret was let out. Weakened from his aging body, a noble commanded a guard to allow Brannskada to die before his peers, to give him the dignity of dying with his friends and comrades. Several long hours went by, with many offering to put him out of his misery, but he always refused. He wanted to do this quietly he pleaded, but none listened and continued to make it a spectacle. Finally, his nature took hold and his body ignited, frightening many of the nobles! They had thought his peaceful death was sabotaged! However, from the ashes rose a Younger Griffon, his feathers stained with his Ash.



So his legend was made, and soon lost. Who would believe such a creature would exist? A griffon whom bursts into flames and is reborn from the Ash! That's a bunch of Poppycock that is, and yet here he is again. After remaining dormant for several hundreds of years he returns to the surface to complete whatever fate he is destined to complete.

[profile]Fun Facts:[/profile][block]The red in each of his feathers glow like Magma from a Fissure. In the dark, he even gives of a faint glow, causing many people to mistake him as a ghost.



Many believe a Phoenix Griffon cannot die. This is very untrue, as it is very easy to kill one... Or at least as easy as it is to kill you or me conventionally. He may not die of Old age, but a sword to the chest or a pike in the eye is more than enough to forever kill Brannskada



Upon the true death of a Phoenix Griffon, instead of a middle aged Griffon being reborn from the ashes, a small, warm egg will be all that remains. This egg will hold no memories of any of the past lives of the Phoenix Griffon, and is the races only way to continue. No Phoenix Griffon X anything has ever produced even a Phoenix, let alone and Phoenix cross as rare as he is.[/block]
