(For those who can not see the link:
Glenn, short for his age stands at 5 foot 4. His prescence presents a mist of a tainted aura to those surrounding him, due to his skin being quite pale, and his hair almost reminiscent of it, holding a color and sheen of a silky white-silver. His eyes aren't cold, but appear to be so. Both of his eyes seem to reflect two deep plum colored abysses, staring wearily to the darkness in front of him. His clothes hold a noticeably gothic influence. He wears a pitch black leather snow cap, outlined with a few stylish zippers. Glenn wears a turtle-neck jacket, also in black, the material is designed with rural/historic markings customized for the fabric.
Personality: Eventhough Glenn has placed himself in a friendless isolation for the past two years, he actually has a very sweet, and charming personality, once he gets over his shyness and psychological defense that had developed in him since childhood. As mentioned, Glenn is a very shy and friendly young man, who only intimidates others as a complete hardass due to his fear of having a repeat of him being hurt persistently as a child. Next to his exterior, he has sides of his persona when he's very curious to any open ended situation, and even mischievous. If you're aware of the shyness or not, Glenn proves his worth to a newcomer by showing that he's very logical and intelligent, yet still has his moments when he's completely ditzy under pressuring situations. All in all, Glenn's a friendly clam once you get past the shell :3.
Bio:
Minerva's Philosophy of his Childhood said:
Those with eyes, are not always given the ability to see; When kept it darkness; light will prevail with your vision. Call it a lonely religion if you will.
Glenn Minerva was born into an immensely conservative family that cast itself away beyond any potential outbreak of war int he outskirts of The Black Rose Kingdom. What did this mean? Glenn's family stowed itself in the country, hidden safely behind thick spider grasses, peaceful livestock, and a healthy array of land mines surrounding the property. The Minerva family had a large amount of loving, yet disciplined members that all insisted in placing a hand into Glenn's upbringing. Yet, when Glenn began to blossom into a younger child, rather than an infant, he began to somehow understand that the protective family around him was..unstable. The Minerva family had weekly quarrels, rapidly turning into fights that debated over how Glenn would be raised in the open country. Glenn even remembers to this very day, that he had witnessed his uncle holding down his wife at gun point, screaming, voice full of rage into her face that Glenn was 'too innocent' to receive 'corrupted education' when it came time for him to start going to school. In this case, when it DID come to school, the Minerva family had arranged for Glenn to be taught in a small school house, hand built by them. The school house was an awkward one, and almost foreshadowed the upcoming of Glenn's life from its beginning. Why? Glenn's school mates were only a collection of his several, almost identical looking cousins (due to his family members marrying and mating with one another, distorting the amount of diversity given).
When being taught in such a small enviornment, Glenn wanted to show his cousins that he could be warm and cheerful, and tried to make friends with them the best way he could. However, this wasn't the case. The Minerva cousins found that Glenn was entirely different from the rest of them, not only in appearance (Glenn was the only one who had silver hair, the cousins were all brunettes. The hair color change was due to his mother producing a gene that gave him the hybrid color), and also opposite in personality (Glenn was the only one out of the bunch that wasn't vengeful, pessimistic, and un naturally athetletic). Glenn, on the other hand was also a very bright young lad who had a mysterious ability to recognize the nature, and solutions to most problems within a small time from being introduced to them. The cousins despised Glenn for this, and shunned him out of any activities, and slowly began to harass him. There were even circumstances where the cousins became cruel to him, and made a habit of beating him regularly after the small school bell rang.
It was during these times, that Glenn decided that it would be wisest to develop a sort of 'shell' that hid his cheerful side from the rest of the world, in obvious fear that the gift would naturally isolate him. So, when growing into a young teenager, Glenn was still himself, yet only made it known to those who would prove to him that they wouldn't be of any harm. At age 14, Glenn decided to move off of his family's farm and place his mark in the world when he had the thought in mind. Leaving wasn't easy. When the family caught whiff that he was trying to sneak out on Christmas night and leave, the family became outraged, and fought skin to skin to prevent Glenn from leaving by any means necessary. They held him down, tied him up, threatened him by torturing his mother, ANYTHING that would possibly make him crack and remain within their conservative idealology. ''When sitting alone, barred by magical ropes and chains to a metal chair, Glenn's heart began to dry. Why was his family so insistant on having him stay? Wasn't it them who had wanted to treat him as the lowest creature since birth? Glenn stared upwards at each of his family members, in a quiet and un noticeable rage. His eyes began to darken, he felt veins crawl and sprout up on each side of his neck, and most importantly..his malice began to take flight. When Glenn had innocently blinked several seconds later, he was astonished to see that three of his family members were hanging by their bones to the ceiling, their bodies of skin collecting in disturbing heaps of blood on the barnyard floor.'''
After this event, Glenn decided that he was much too dangerous to be kept in captivity, and headed out to explore the world around him. Each year, he witnessed countless social uproars as town and kingdom people alike began to revolt against the cruel acts fed to their families. Time after time, Glenn had helped any family he came across the best he could, basically anything to feed the rage that was building inside of him in addition to the natural compassion he felt to protecting others similar to himself. When Glenn's rescuing and social participation became frequent, dukes and queens from the surrounding nations offered to pay him high wages in order to dispose their nations of any potential revolution that would cost them their thrones. In each of his travels, Glenn suffered a heavy debt in lacking the supplies needed to survive, and took every other job offered to him in order to give himself a stable living, regardless if it was an absolute paradox towards what he wanted to ACTUALLY be doing. Yet, one of these invitations however did not conceal a greeting from a corrupted Rose monarchy; It was a letter from the Lightning princess pleading for his assistance to revive the peace among the regions. (Glenn accepted it willingly, eventhough he paid a consequence of being bitten harshly by the owl that delivered it).
Glenn, 19 year old teenager, direct descendant from the Minerva blood line, and completely torn and slightly corrupt from his childhood as he might have been decided to do..at least a little good in the world, and renew the connection of peace and harmony that he expected to see when he first opened his eyes as a child.
Powers:
Manipulation-Ability to manipulate the energy he feels around him, and bring it to his own (not a major power, this just means that he can use the energy that he feels coming from people, and squeeze it into objects/useful tools, small portions of fighting tecniques, etc)
...more coming soon.
