> Personality
> —————————-
> Bren's an energetic, goofy, mischievous pony by nature. He will generally make fun out of any bad situation in order to come through. Don't judge his intelligence by his looks because he is pretty smart and not easily tricked, which will occasionally lead him to being a smartass. He absolutely does not take kindly to those super haughty and full of themselves due to peeves that were created by his past (more on that in his backstory). If however you manage to keep on his good side, he's fun to be around and will even throw himself in harm's way to protect you.
> Cutie Mark
> —————————————————-
> He first recieved his cutie mark very late as a teenager as he was stuck in limbo taking care of his ungrateful family (more on that in his backstory). The vape mod silhouette references to his talent and passion for essentially anything vape related, as he can't really do any advanced magic like teleportation without taking a puff on his vapes. The red vapor represents his free will and spirit. And the sparkles of course point to his personality.
> Backstory
> ————————-
> He took off with life with a bad start. In his blank flanked years, he mostly spent his time playing butler to his parents. Ill dub them the Cloud family. His parents weren't so supportive of him having dreams and free will like it was the very bane of the family's existence. They did name him "Cloudchaser" as they had hopes of him staying with them for his entire life. His mother tossed him around the house cooking, cleaning and other errands as she was absolutely lazy and aloof watching TV and gorging on munchies. This was on top of him getting a job and paying rent to the house. His father was gone most days because of his own work so poor Bren was left to fend for himself against his mother. And when he was home, he would complain even if there was just a single fork in the sink. When Bren tried to confess his feelings of resentment, the father burst out in anger and frustration at him saying he either was not ready or not capable to take on the world and that he needed a steady line from them. There came a time during an errand where Bren wanted to make the time away from home last and lean against the wall right by an alleyway at night to take a breather. Unfortunately, this lead to a mistake as a pair of red eyes glared at him through the darkness. Before he could react, there was a venomous hiss before he got swiped away into the alley. He fought for his life and fortunately came out alive, only to have a bleeding bite on his ankle. He came right home empty handed from the fight, only to be scolded harshly by his parents who just brushed off about his injury like it was nothing. He headed right to his room with brewing anger. Little did he know that would be his last night of being a normal pony. He suddenly awoke at midnight to find he felt a bit strange. He headed right for the nearest mirror, only to see such a strange reflection of himself. He felt around, discovering that his mane was unusually scruffy and unkempt. He thought it was just a case of bedhead and headed downstairs as he was craving a midnight snack. As soon as he opened the fridge however, he practically binged through the family's entire supply of fruits and sweets inside. He went completely berserk with hunger and ransacked the entire house of anything sweet he could find, commanded solely by newly found primal instincts. The noise woke up the parents who came out to find their entire living room and kitchen almost demolished with wide open and some broken cabinets and furniture moved out of place, sometimes even flipped over. That's when realization hit. "VAMPIIREEE!!!" They screamed as soon as they saw Bren with scruffy mane and tail, a huge pair of bat wings and fangs, and big glowing red eyes with shrunk pupils, not even recognizing their own son. They tried to protect themselves by throwing whatever they could get their hooves on to throw at him. Bren, however, fueled by his new instincts to stuff his stomach and survive, right on top of his anger and resentment for them, he launched straight at them without warning with the most menacing hiss he could muster. The parents screamed their lungs out as they ran straight into their room and locked the door shut. Only when Bren smacked his head on the door trying to get to them did he regain at least some of his senses. He decided that he no longer had a place here as he bolted for his room, taking as many things as possible and finally flying away. Long after his disappearance, he desperately wanted to find some way to satisfy his cravings without ransacking villages and cities for food. He soon had an idea. He flew around one night to gather materials using his peculiar powers to extract essences of fruits and sweets along with other ingredients from plants and metallic materials to put together his very own system after some trial and error. Eventually, he made his very own vaping device that was small and simple. He took his very first puff. And on that first puff was a yerika moment. A bright light flashed on his flank as he curiously glanced over with intrigued eyes. There before him laid the very cutie mark he now bares today. He later found out he could perform more advanced magic with the vapor he created from his device, and practiced and studied the knowlege of magic.
