Bryan


Old English, meaning Noble, Strong(sorry link doesn’t take you directly to the name. Make sure that you put the dropboxes to male>meanings>all and then type in “Bryan”


Male


When he was a young JMD, Bryan was happy and carefree. He was also very protective of his younger sister. He loved his family very much, and was very loyal and trustworthy. His best friend, however, sometimes got him into trouble. Bryan would never tell that it wasn’t him though. Since he grew up during a war, which his father was often away fighting in, Bryan became the caretaker of the family, and he never complained and always worked hard.

Now, Bryan is more of the strong, silent type. Battles and war have hardened him, yet around young [child] JMDs, he opens up, determined to give them the happiest childhood possible, as the wages of war took away all happiness he could have had as a child. He is very disciplined, and always there for anyone and everyone in need. However, he has a hard time trusting others, as one time during battle he was betrayed by his best friend, and that cost him the life of his sister, almost his life, along with the battle and the rest of his battalion. Despite not being able to trust others, however, he is incredibly loyal and trustworthy himself, and would give his life for the safety and lives of others.


As a child, Bryan dreamed of being a knight and saving others, and that was made easy since it was tradition for all eligible young JMDs to become knights when they turned 18, and he was determined to do so. Even today, he still has his determined nature. His father had been a knight himself, one of the best, and trained his son in the art of swordsmanship. As Bryan grew older, he oftentimes beat his father in playful swordfights. This paid off, and eventually Bryan became the best swordsman in his entire battalion, aside from those ranking above him, and was one of few JMDs who were also able to use the jewel on his tail to fight. He has saved the lives of many and played a big part in the victory of many battles.


Bryan was born at a time when a war was waging and tearing apart families and destroying the world around him. His father was often away fighting in the war, so Bryan oftentimes had to stay home and take care of his mother and younger sister. He loved his sister more than anything else in the world, and was endeared to her. Whenever his father came home, they would spar, and he gradually gained sword skills exceeding those of his father. Altogether, he grew up in a peaceful environment where he had to work hard, but the war was closing in around it.

One day, his happy days were over. Word reached home that his father had been killed by the enemy leader. From that day forward, Bryan was more determined than ever to protect his family and community, especially his sister, and leave home to become a knight and avenge his father. His best friend Dru went with him. Finally, they were accepted into knight training. It occurred when a letter was delivered at Bryan’s doorstep on his 18th birthday. It was rolled up like a scroll and had a red wax seal bearing the emblem of the knights. When he read that letter, on that day, he had a grim solitude mixed with slight fear. He was a bit stunned, actually, but also excited. He would live up to his father’s legacy and become the best warrior he could possibly be.

The two boys packed their bags immediately and bid their families farewell. Bryan’s sister, however, was distraught. On their way out, as they were saying their final goodbyes, she ran to him and clung to his leg, opposite to the side where his father’s inherited sword hung in its scabbard. “don’t go!” she cried. “don’t go!” the second time she repeated it in a faint whisper. He smiled sadly down at her, and crouched down to her eye level as she let go. “Delph,” he said, using his favorite nickname for her. She looked up into his eyes, tears welling up in her own. “I have to go and fight, not just for our home, or for Dad, but for you.” He paused and took a slightly shaky breath. “but no matter what, I promise that I will come back, and sing to you on your birthday like I always do, and I’ll never leave you alone in this world. Ever.” As he got up once more to leave he turned back to her and whispered that single word one more time. “Ever.”

Training was tougher than Bryan and Dru had expected. However, it made Bryan tougher, wiser, stronger, and a better warrior. It also humbled him. Because of his father, he excpected to have it easy, and be favored amongst the other trainees. However, because of this, big things were expected from hi, and he was just worked harder than the rest. This gave him determined to work harder than ever, and go beyond their expectations. They were hard on him, too, but the more they threw jokes and snide comments at him, the harder he worked and the better he became in every way. He refused to back down. Even when Dru got him into trouble, just like old times.

By the time they were ready for war, all of the JMDs who had graduated from training were hardened and ready. They marched into war. Bryan and Dru were the leaders of the regiment, due to their extreme skill. The two JMDs endured many battles together, and under their leadership, many of them were won. The war was ugly, and the battles fierce, but they always managed to hold on. Until that one battle, when everything changed. For the worse.

They were launching an ambush, and all plans had been top secret. Dru and Bryan were the only two knights in their regiment who knew the plan, since they were the leaders. But the plans had leaked, someone had betrayed them. It all went so terribly wrong. The enemy should have been right where they were charging into battle. But the battle never happened. The enemy had left without a trace. They had been closing in on Dru and Bryan’s hometown, very near to the biggest army base that their side of the war had running. So they were going to counterattack. The entire battalion was confused, but then Bryan heard that unmistakable scream. His sister’s scream. He looked to where Dru was, horror in his eyes, ready to signal a charge into the small town, ready to fight back and save the people, but Dru was gone. Dru was with the enemy. “Dru!” Bryan called out. “what are you doing?!” Dru’s answer was interrupted by another voice. “Bryan! Bryan! Bryan, help!” “DELPH!” He screamed, charging towards his beloved little sister, destroying any enemy in his path. One of them had her in a horrible grasp, digging his claws into her back as he held his sword to her neck. “NO!” Bryan bellowed. He kept running, memories of her flashing through his mind, the last things they said to each other before he left.
“don’t go!”
“no matter what, I promise that I will come back, and I’ll never leave you alone in this world. Ever.”
But it was too late. There was swipe of the sword, and his beloved little sister collapsed. He ran up to her, ignoring everyone else. Those last words echoing in his mind. He didn’t care that the battle was being lost all around him, that all of his old friends and family, all of those he had shared his childhood with, and all those he had fought with for the past six months with were being killed off. He didn’t notice Dru fighting with the enemy, giving Bryan a fleeting glance, his eyes begging for forgiveness. He could only sit and cradle his sister’s head in his arms, staring into her once sparkling eyes. “Bryan?” she whispered weakly. “Bryan? Sing the birthday song. It’s my birthday. You promised that you would sing it.” And so he sang, softly and sweetly, and as she passed from the earth, he whispered a single word, tears running down his cheeks. “Ever.”

He quickly put her limp body onto his back and fought like mad to get out. The battle was lost. He was the only knight left. But on his way out, as he was defeating enemies to escape, he caught site of their leader. The one who had started the entire war. The one who had caused the death of his father, and now his sister. Anger flared in his eyes. He gently set his sister down somewhere safe, then bellowed, “FOR CATON!!!” he had no more friends, no more family, nothing left to live for. All those he had fought with were gone. He had no one to watch his back. And still he charged at that one utterly evil Jewel Mane Dragon, That one Jewel mane dragon with a cold, hard, cracked black jewel that he used only for killing and war. HE fought with a new ferocity kindled inside of him, a love that powered him like nothing else, and he defeated the murderer of his father and sister, and of his mother and the friendship that had once bonded him and Dru. He won the war. The rest of the enemy fled, and Dru with them, and right then and there he went and buried his sister, with no support or fellowship that would comfort him during his grieving.

After the war was over, Dru was caught along with the remaining enemy and jailed for their treason. Bryan received a medal for his bravery, chivalry, and valor, for which he thanked his late father and sister. But he was forever scarred and hardened, and he promised himself that he would never let another Jewel Mane Dragon come to the same fate as his sister. Ever.



So, lets start with a very basic question. What's your favorite ice cream?

Um, Moose Tracks, I guess. My- *takes deep breath and composes himself* -my mom always thought that was funny, because of my pelt. Sometimes she would call me moose-tracks for fun.

That must be a fond memory. As for another simple question, do you have a favorite song?

Yes. It's called Gravity Hurts, by CryoshellYes, it is a song belonging to the LEGO merchandise, 'Bionicle,' but I find that it represents me well. If you listen to the lyrics, its about rising to fight for freedom, no matter what. It also mentions, in a way, flying to battle, which I oftentimes do, since I have wings. honestly, I have searched for the truth in war and if I really am fighting for good and freedom, which is also a part of the lyrics. It has been very encouraging to me.

So, for the next question, do you like knowing you may never get to fight again?

Actually, I more view it as "I never have to fight again. At first, I was excited to join the war and fight the enemy, but really war is a horrible, ugly thing. And I had to look it in the face. *shudders* I never, ever want to do it again. I quite like having put away my armor, at least for now, but I am always ready to put it back on again and strap on my sword to help those around me.

That's incredible! So, we're almost done here. Were there any notable traditions you had when you were growing up?

Yes, actually! Where I'm from, most JMDs follow in their parent's footsteps and wingbeats in regard to proffesion. That's one of the reasons I became a knight. Also, when one gets married, other than a wedding gown and bouquet and suit and tie, the bride would wear a simple flower wreath on her head made by the groom, and have a small tail charm shaped like one of the flowers on the wreath. The groom would also wear a tail charm, fancier than the bride's as he doesn't have a wreath. At the end of the wedding, rather than a kiss, they would wrap their tails and charms together in a symbol of unity, than hang the still wrapped tail charms above the door frame of their new home. That's one of the most different things about us. Also, when a young JMD turns 10, he or she would recieve the tail charm and wear it until the day that they were wed. It's actually a really cool thing.

Wow! That's really interesting! Well, as this form's huge enough already, is there anything else you'd like to share without me asking more questions?

Okay, sure. Just so you know, this is the most open I've been in a long time, and I'm actually kind of enjoying it. Not the attention- I like not hiding away my feelings and all that *smiles a bit* anyway, um, until- *takes shaky breath again* until the last day of the war - um, I don't really like talking about that - I would get little notes and things from my little sister, Delphie. I always loved those, and knowing she was okay. Whenever I read them I could hear her small voice in my head, even still now when I re-read them over and over. As for other things I like, uh, how about sea-green, chocolate peanut-butter, and little kids? As for things I don't like, well that's a long list. Lets just keep it simple and say war, and that I have some very mixed feelings about Dru. I can't stand being helpless or unable to help someone who needs it. Also, I can't do tight spaces, and I don't like bananas. no offense to you out there who love them. *grins*

Wait a second-you don't like bananas?!

Actually, that's a funny story! *laughs a bit* See, one time my regiment went to gather food to take back to base. We ended up finding an abandoned grocery store next to an old pet store. We went in and found out that the bananas were the only things still edible. The problem is, *starts laughing as he continues the story* when we went to grab them and keep looking, we were bombarded with rotten ones by - and I'm not making things up - monkeys from the pet store. It took days to get rid of the taste and smell of them. So I just don't eat bananas anymore.

Wow! Well, thank you very much for sharing with us, Bryan!

*catching his breath from laughing so hard* No problem!

June 19th, 2013
My dear little Delphie is gone. Yes, I won the war, but what is the point if all that I ever cared for is gone? My father, my sister, my mother, my closest friend and all of those who I shared my childhood with. To me, despite the war being over, all is lost. I would more than gladly trade this cold hard medal in exchange for my family back. Even for just Delph. She was only six years old! I vow that no matter what, I will never let any other Jewel Mane Dragon to the same young fate as she did. Ever.

I think I’m scarred now, for life. All that killing and all that death has ruined the once innocent child inside of me. I’ll never be able to get it back, for sure. Seeing my loved ones hurt and killed, seeing my best friend betray me when I trusted him with my life-its imaginable only because it happened, and even still it feels impossible.

Although, one thing has donned on me. Yes, I may no longer have a real family, but that just means that all of the JMDs around me are my family. And now I'm encouraged to stay a knight throughout all hardships, wars, and battles. I'll be a knight and protect the new family that surrounds me wherever I go.

Bryan was amazed at the sight before him, and looked to his right to see his best friend Dru's jaw fallen to the ground. Marching before them were hundreds of Jewel Mane Dragons marching in perfect formation in the center of a giant concrete-walled fort. "Whoa" breathed Bryan. Dru's jaw snapped shut and the two young JMDs stood at attention as they saluted to the middle-aged JMD that stood before them. He was obviously in charge here. He whapped a stick at one of Dru's feet. "Nice try, but that should be under the rest of you, not next to you." He barked. It was a strange friendly and fierce mix that would have terrified any newbie other than Bryan. His father had prepared him for this before he went away to war again, never to return home alive.

Suddenly, all the friendly left the JMDs voice as a large crowd of new recruits gathered around the main gate behind Bryan. "Attention recruits!" he snapped. "You may not be on the front lines yet, but I excpect you to act like you are. Training is tough business, and you need to be well dicsiplined. Any less than that, and we'll send you home desgraced!" Bryan noticed some of the younger boys towards the back seemed to shrink. "You will be perfectly well behaved! By the end of the next three months, you will be changed. Both mind and body will be prepared for war. However, some of you may not pull through and complete training. If you think yourself unable, I expect you to turn around and hustle home right now." Bryan saw the JMDs he noticed earlier shuffle away. Dru snickered and discretely pointed at them so Bryan could see. Bryan just glared at him.

"You havin' trouble with your future comrade, boy?" suddenly that JMD was glaring directly down at Bryan. He tried not to gulp. "No sir, it's-"
"No excuses, soldier! I know who your father was, and he was a great dragon. I expect big things from you!"
"Yes sir." Dru moved his paw to mimic the JMD lecturing them. Bryan resisted the urge to kick him. hard. This was going to be a tough three months!

Well, this is a Knight JMD. And that's epical enough on its own ^^ Actually, I find medieval times and knights and things really interesting. My older sister is currently writing a book about a modern knighthood from the times of King Arthur. I love that Knights have no fear and are so willing to give up they're lives for others. I love their chivalry and valor!

Aside from him being a knight, I found that this JMD was really good lookin' ^^ not only that, but his design is one that not only looks really good, but is one that I could draw on my own using giftlines and such. And then 100% by myself when I finally figure out how to draw JMDs. I use a mouse, so that could take a while...

Anyways, I really like to get creative. I love to draw and write, and that's exactly the kind of skill needed to adopt and care for a Jewelie. If I were to win him, and in a sense take home my very first JMD, I would engage him in some roleplays. Nothing out of his comfort zone, though ^^ I'd for sure draw him on every. single. giftline. Ever. Well, at least that I can find. I would love him bunches. I might even make him a roleplay where he can actively be a knight again. Despite what he says, he really does enjoy sparring and such, and helping and saving people. I'd write stories about him, too. And I think I forgot to mention I would also draw him traditionally, as that's what I'm best at. He'd also dominate my siggy... =}


Well, I think that that's it from my form, aside from adding some more possible drawings! So, I worked crazy hard on this and I hope that this gives me a decent chance at winning this incredible JMD and having the honor of having him as my first. I wish the best of luck to all you guys who have decided to enter for him. Umm.. I don't know how to conclude this little statement, so um once again, good luck everyone!!!
