I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? - John Lennon
xxxxxBrian Swift is a relatively new import to the City of Hope. In the short time since he's arrived, he's made a number of friends, found joy in unexpected places, and settled within the deep woods. Naturally, this means he opened up a furniture shop featuring hand crafted goods near the beach where he 'lives'. Come check out Made By Hand (Grid Square 1953). You might be surprised.

| Lilian Handover - A student of the Stella and one whom is circumspect. I approve.
|
| Balance - Of the blood and seeking to learn more of this wondrous world. I think we may finally understand one another.
|
| Carolyn - Hospitable. I shall return the favor.
|
| Stella Amunet - Shaean. There was once a metaphor about people living in glass houses. Hmm.
|
| Maria - Unexpected.. but with great potential.
|
| Star - Of like mind. Of like being.
|
| Kayla - Cousin, Clansman, passionate soul. Would that I could wake the Dreamer in you.
|
| Luna - A blessing unlooked for.
|
| Cypha - To die, to sleep -- to sleep, perchance to dream.
|
| Baron Money-Coutts - Baron of the Starless Lodge. Knew what House Merinita was. This is promising. So stiff, he's likely to slay others with sheer banality.
|
| Mitzi - My new student? Mandated by the Baron Money-Coutts. This will be interesting.
|
| Baron Dairmuid - Of Fianna blood, yet despises it and will have nothing to do with it. Claims to be the fae ambassador to the wolves. Ahh sweet hypocrisy.
|
| Baroness Briar Silverflame - A most delightful neighbor. May yet tempt me to join in courtly affairs.
|
| Clarisse - Fellow Irish from just down the street, how delightful! Seems to be precisely what Viator needs. I wish them well.
|
| Gloria Williams - Books, books, books, brownies, books.. wait.. brownies?
|
| Daize - A diamond? But very rough indeed.
|
| Anyu - Ahh. Delightful. A trifle dark... but gardeners are always welcome.
|
| Ciar - Your anger is justified.. merely misplaced.
|
| Evonnia - The tree that grows in the shadow of another must, in time, seek its own light.
|
| Caressa - And so the curse reveals itself again.
|
| Royce - Much as myself the veneer is thin.

- Starving Artist - Born with an innate creativity, Brian dabbles in virtually every form of creative art. He sells online mostly but his contact information is on the page if you want to email requests!
- Fae Blooded - The Tuatha de Danann are the mythological primogenitors of the Gaelic peoples. He bears an uncanny resemblance. Or maybe you're just a die hard fan of Tolkien and need to get a life.
- Fiona - Many of his family are members. So was he in a prior life. Perhaps, he will be again.
- Fianna - The fair folk of Ireland travel in the same circles which often means they intermarry. He has a trickle of pure blood.
- Order of Hermes - The most august arcane Order. Entreat with me and we shall speak of a time when magic was mighty and the dream was the pulse of the world.
- House Merinita - Mages with strong ties to the Fae whose power of waxes and wanes with the dream. In this time, let us see its revival.
- Ogham - Brian speaks every Gaelic language there is. Let's talk over a cup.
- Eighth Degree - A Master of the Ars Magicka. He would argue that his studies have only just begun.
- Healer - His true reason for being. If you don't mind holistic medicines and the fact that he isn't licensed to practice medicine.. you're probably a patient of his.

- Spark of Life
- Brian has tapped the wellspring of life and so it flows through him and all that he does. He is a healer by nature. He also has a habit of wearing gloves on account of.. social complications.
- Primal Marks
- His is an old soul whose avatar has passed through the ages. While once mighty, the echoes of a bygone past cannot be denied for his likeness resembles that of myths told of Ogma of the Tuatha de Danann. Those familiar with Gaelic lore and mythologies will know that he is the mythological figure attributed to the creation of the Gaelic runes named after him and thus the Gaelic language.
- Bard's Tongue
- As Brian is tied to the dream and its prophetic nature, it often sends him tidbits of truth that must enter the world. This is not always a sought after thing. <OOC NOTE: If you have a painful truth, a snippet of plot or really anything you think would fit put out in a scene feel free to page me and I'll work it into the scene. Happy to help!>
- Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy
- “We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.”
- Power Poses
- So this one unfortunately needs to go here. If you want my PC to react in a certain way? Do something to my PC that would otherwise require a skill roll or would affect them in a scene? Page me first. If I arrive in a room and haven't posed in yet? It's because I'm trying to get a feel for what's going on before I pose because it would be ridiculous for me to walk into a funeral riding a unicycle.. unless that was my intent. This also means don't pose reacting to me before I've posed. The notion is likewise ridiculous. Why? You could be waving socially and I could be arriving after a combat scene bloody and near death and then you'd look stupid. So please, as a courtesy, let's all be courteous of the other. Cheers!
