Braden is a master in puppeteering and ventriloquy, where he can change his voice to make it seem that it is his puppets responding back to him. He used to use his talents for a live children's TV show, using his puppets to entertain children. Braden has two puppets: Erica and Elias with differing personalities that he not only used during his shows but when he has to interact with other people.
Braden stands at 5'9" and is a fairly lean man. He has deep brown hair that has grown out to a somewhat shaggy length, and green eyes that always appear to be narrowed from irritation or unfocused from boredom. He has fair skin, hinting at his recluse nature and no scars that mark his skin. Braden prefers to wear clothes that can be layered and is often seen in a thin t-shirt, with a baggy, long-sleeved collared shirt on top with some jeans and surprisingly comfortable dress shoes.
■ A F F L I C T I O N ■Braden was rushed to hospital after an accident. However, his family has made sure to keep particular details about the accident a mystery.
■ P E R S O N A L I T Y ■There are three distinct personalities to Braden Clarke that are so opposite to the other that you'd expect him to be three separate individuals. The 'real' Braden is a quiet man that prefers only his own company. He does not seek out people to interact with, and his perpetual irritated expression stops the brave from interacting with him. However, this is Braden Clarke without his two puppets, and thus a side of Braden that is very uncommon to see.
Braden is a strangely quirky man. Where he is a natural introvert, his personality changes depending on the puppet he uses. He seems to adopt their personality the moment he uses the puppet. The most common puppet Braden uses in any given situation is Elias, his male puppet.
When he uses Elias, Braden can become a completely different person. Where Braden is usually a private man, using Elias helps him become expressive and show excitement. He is also highly flirtatious (both men and women aren't safe from this), but has never taken anything further than harmful flirting. Elias is the more understanding and empathic of the two puppets, and thus what Braden thinks is the best to use in a social situation.
With Erica, his female puppet, you'll find that Braden is highly impatient and demanding. Almost like a "spoilt princess". The puppet is straight to the point and insensitive to others' needs. Braden becomes pushy and loud, but also determined to get whatever he wants - a princess always gets what she wants! - no matter the consequences.
He and the two puppets represent the different parts of Braden's personality: apathy, witty and blunt insensitivity.
■ T R I V I A ■- Braden is a surprisingly good gardener, and often tends to the gardens in his family home and refuses to let the help touch his work.
