Special: Grim Artist

Grim Artist Concept  by ~Rafael-Domination. And Rafael if your reading this, this one is updated.

Name: Brandon 'The Dreamer 'Benevides. Nicknames: Brand, Benny.


Age: 18


Nationality: Azorean Portuguese (Possible French mix)


Appearance:
- A short, strange young man who looks at people with the darkness shown in his black eyes, often shows a smirk and a buzz cut of dark brown, slightly red hair covered with his black fedora. Usually dresses in dark clothes such as a black button up shirt and navy blue pants and black leather shoes. Sometimes gives off a confident Hawk-eye stare along with his smile whenever someone looks at him. He is hardly seen outside, which explains his pale skin.


Background:
-Brandon has a history of no trouble and hardships in his life, and cannot ask for more, even as an orphan. But Brandon is a complex person, as he is an all-around guy. He believes in destiny, fate, and dreams very strongly, and would fight for these beliefs who ever try to prove him wrong. Ever since he got into doing fractal and flame art, and started to do rather well, Vidan found him and got him involved in the Lesser Grim Renaissance. How the process went is currently unknown.

Personality:
- Brandon is a hard character to make out, as he is always a good, casual type a person, or he could act serious or goofy.  His personality can change in drastic situations that carry consequences, like ending up dead, which causes him to fight with his fullest strength that could have surprising results
-He prefers to do what he likes and have no one boss him around, unless threatened of course.
- He appears to be absent-minded, as he does not pay attention to things that don't concern him in any way, but this may just attune to his care-free nature.


Grim Artist Class:
- Apprentice(higher-tier); the starting tier for any Grim Artist. Has a beginner's grasp of the basic techniques, is new to the concept of Grim Art Aesthetics, and must refine self and skill through education and training to advance. Is outclassed by a Dilettante Class Artist and definitely no match for a Savant Class Artist.


Grim Art Type:
- Soul Art. His mental existence will be jeopardized in exchange for his Art's own'

Grim Aesthetic/s:
- Being apparently strong overall, Brandon uses Painting and Renaissance Aesthetics respectively as proof of it; as he is able to fight with strong attacks he can simply come up with. He is inexperienced though, as he can only use one or the other in a fight, since using both at once can tire him out quick.

Grim Device/s:
- Brandon uses a meter long paintbrush he made himself called "The Myth." It is simply a black coloured paintbrush with white bristles. Though nothing special, Brandon believes it is, because of his old family genealogy, which revealed that a relative of his from the renaissance era makes and uses his own brushes. How it is special, is that Brandon based off the design of his relative exactly how it is: carved dark Oakwood and horse hair as bristles.


As an Artist:
- Being a recent Grim Artist, Brandon's standing on where he is unknown. Brandon does art because at first it was simply just out of boredom, but then his imagination exploded and became more and more into making surreal images. Brandon believes that this will make him famous one day and be known by many people, and the only he knows how to do that, is make more and more. When Brandon does his work as an artist, he just lets his imagination be his inspiration as well as his judgement if he should reveal a piece or not.


As a Grim Artist:
-As a Grim Artist who lets his mind do the talking, Brandon's style of fighting usually depends on the situation at hand by forge whatever he wants using his imagination , whether if he should go easy, or give it his all. In all cases, he focuses on what he should bring in to the fight, and brings in the first thing that comes to mind, mostly fantasy or surreal concepts. Brandon may act 'Reckless', and in rare cases 'insane' when spending time in battle too long as a result from his soul art.


Art Costs:
- Brandon remains a Soul artist primarily, and nothing else. So far, Brandon has found nobody to share his art with that carry his interests, making him a one-man show, at least right now.
-Whenever Brandon faces off fellow Grim Artist stronger than him, he carries the guts to face them, despite being weaker. When facing non-Grim artists, he uses the fewest costs on his abilities as much as he can, knowing that he already is invincible against them, but may go overboard.

Favoured Moves: Still a recent Grim Artist, Brandon has few abilities, but became a fast learner by having a collection of moves in different categories. Only five are shown here:
- Renaissance Aesthetics, Modification: By using his brush, Brandon can twist and tweak any kind of shape and space in existence, as well as change the colour and placement. Ex. Distorting the air would make a certain spot look blurry. (Common)
- Renaissance-Painting Aesthetics Collaboration, Fabric Tear: A rare move Brandon invented when training. By using this, his brush glows and he paints a certain image in the air or on the ground, and attune it to reality. Basically with this, he could make anything he wants. Ex. A pitfall, A Falling rock. (Rare)
- Renaissance-Painting Aesthetics Collaboration, New Worlds: Brandon uses this move to paint a line anywhere, then puts his hands in the line, and rips it open tearing the space into paint, and create a new world in it, be it an open plain, a canyon, or even outer space. It also functions as a portal to another place Brandon has been to. The torn painted world can be entered by just going inside. (Rare)
-Painting Aesthetics, Fractal Art, Attack Modding: This is a common move which uses Brandon's paintbrush paint to amplify an ally's attack. This attack is also used defensively as it can debuff an opponent's attack by using his paint. (Common)
- Fractal Art, Mutation: more or less likely an attack that may have random effects. Brandon focuses on any form of matter around him, and coats it with his paint, creating either a creature from a certain matter under his control, turning flowing water into flowing lava or vice versa, making rain rocks instead of water, etc. (Rare, Special)

Trivia:
- Really loves chocolate
-people regard him as crazy for believing in dreams as a result from his Soul Art, but he hardly seems to care
- He feels more at peace when he is alone
-he carries a lot of potential, but never seems to control his own might.
-Rumor has it that he has developed some skill in writing
-He thinks the Grim Artist class system is really stupid, as he would prefer to fight whoever he wants just because he is bored, regardless of rank
-He is also a Christian, as he wears a wooden cross under his shrt.
