Dressing Style:
He actually dresses pretty casually. Brendan will happily throw on any shirt and jeans, and he'll be happy. He doesn't really buy into brands or anything... he'd much rather wear something comfortable and suiting for the weather and situation. He doesn't feel like he needs to be a walking advertisement. However, if it's a formal occasion, he'll be happy to don a suit. But yeah, that's a rarity. Those occasions rarely come up for him.
General Appearance:
Brendan's pretty muscular. That'll be all the running and training he's done. He wouldn't be arrogant enough to say that he's the best looking guy, but he loves the attention that girls give him for it. All over his torso are scars of different sizes, which aren't very good reminders for him.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description:
Brendan's a very secretive person. He's always kept his past to himself, and he doesn't trust many people with knowing him properly and what he's experienced. He could be perceived to be a player, because he likes to use his looks to his advantage... and he's always getting girls. But, he doesn't use them for sex like many other players. He uses girls to feel loved. He's more of the type of player who'll be with a girl for a couple of days - cuddling, kissing and the like. But then out of nowhere he'll just finish things with her. It's often not because he's lost interest, but because he never felt anything in the first place, and he starts to worry that the girl will start to find things out about him after a short while.
He's actually a pretty nice guy. If you was to approach him, as a stranger, he'd happily speak to you. Always making sure to be polite and the rest. He's quite friendly so that's why he's made a lot of "friends" in the past. Okay, so they consider him friends, but he doesn't consider them friends. After all, they don't know anything about him really. He just listens to their problems.
When it comes to anger, Brendan can snap quite easily depending on the situation. If he feels really embarrassed by someone, then he'll blow. When he does, he's likely to storm off to the woods to hack away at the trees with his sword.
Brendan can also be quite sly. He's pretty clever, given that his father is the old man of the sea. So he knows ways of getting to people... and getting sweet revenge. Also, if he was to ever start to feel close to someone, he'd spy on them. That's something his abilities are useful for.

Just the odd cuts and bruises. However, his main ability is that he's a shapeshifter. He hasn't gotten far with it, and he can only transform into a Red-tailed Hawk and a Dwarf lanternshark currently. But he hopes to improve on it.
Family and History
Personal History:
Karen Murphy was born in Dublin, Ireland. Her parents were lower class citizens who managed to get by... her father had a gambling and drinking problem. He worked the docks, and made a little bit of money. It's fair to say that she knew the value of money and promised herself that she'd try to learn as much about the world as possible. Knowing a lot meant passing exams, passing exams meant getting a good job... of course, with her determination she passed and got a decent job. Her thoughts about obtaining knowledge remained and she continued to have this thirst for information.
One day, through her father who worked at the docks she met a guy called Nero. He was old, but not really old... he seemed to have that worn down fisherman look. Somehow, he was strangely attractive to her. The twinkle in his eyes and the little snippets of facts that he'd come out with. He'd often comment on her, saying that the world was kind to her. Nero loved how she was so simplistic and knew the value of things such as money and knowledge. He took her out on his boat and showed her how beautiful nature was.
A couple of months later, and well, she couldn't deny it any longer... he made her heart race. He brought a smile to her face whenever he cast his gaze upon her. To her, he was beautiful in his own little way. She admitted her love for him and he confessed that he'd been feeling something for her too. The two then began their brief relationship, eventually sleeping together once or twice. Karen found out she was pregnant and told him straight away. She was an honest person. He told her that their time was up... that it was his signal to end things with her. She was hurt, and remained that way until she gave birth to a baby boy. That was when she felt grateful to Nero for providing her with such a beautiful child.
She named him Brendanus. Simply because it was a Latinized Irish name, and Karen knew how much Nero loved Latin. Veni, vidi, vici he would always quote. After a few years she met a new man... Jack Coonan. Jackie was a guy that a lot of people in Dublin knew. Certainly not the type of man they would pair with Karen... he was worse than her father. He was a violent drunk who had dabbled in a bit of ecstasy in the past. Why did she go for him? Because she was lonely. She needed a man's man who could protect her from the world. She sort of felt safe with him for the first couple of years.
As Brendanus grew up, he became Jackie's punchbag. If Jackie had too much to drink and got a little angry, he'd hit Brendan. If Brendan received too much attention from his mother, then Jackie would hit him. Eventually it got so bad that Jackie was using a belt on the boy for literally nothing. Karen turned a blind eye; she needed Jackie, so she couldn't ruin things with him by standing up for her son. Brendan stopped caring about the physical pain... it was the emotional pain that got him. The feeling that nobody was there for him. That he was worth nothing. He usually concentrated on his studies, but his behavior became worse and worse as the abuse went on. Teachers became concerned with the reasoning for it.
The closer they got to the family's little secret, the more stressed and angry Jackie would get. Eventually they moved to America for a "fresh start" which really was just an escape from being caught. For a while, the abuse stopped. Brendan became focused on his studies and became interested in birds of prey. He thought the Red-tailed Hawk in particular was beautiful. Also, he'd always been fond of fish. Particularly sharks.
Of course, it didn't last long before the abuse began again. One time when being abused, he just lost it. Anger built up inside of Brendan. A strange stirring feeling occurred and after running to his room he turned into a Red-tailed Hawk. It was madness. He flew out of his open window into the world and couldn't get over it. What had happened to him? Why had he changed? After becoming tired, he landed and turned back to his previous form, somehow still clothed.
A satyr could sniff him out from miles away, and he eventually found Brendanus asleep. He took him straight to Camp Half-Blood.
Mortal Parent: Karen Murphy (alive).
Other Family: Jack Coonan, stepfather (indicted on charges of aggravated assault).
And Finally...
I, Damiano, have made this entirely up. I did not rip somebody else’s application from any site, and have followed the rules accordingly.
And…? Yes.
