His. Name. Is…

Ghostiel Brandt, nothing more and nothing less. His parents once said it was a unique name for a unique person -- however, Ghost always disagreed; he considers himself to be 'nothing special. In his eyes, he's completely ordinary. Just your average artist, average cop, with an obscure name. Look it up in the phonebooks, he will be the only result you'll get. Naturally, you can understand why he keeps his personal information vague when meeting other folks. God only knows how many ne'er do wells are after his head, and privacy is the first step towards prevention. A pattern he picked up after years of following stalker cases.

Common' as he calls himself, Ghostiel Brandt is a name that's hard to forget, and a face you'll always see when you close your eyes.

Ghostiel Brandt is the hero of our time.

He isn't a hot shot cop, plain and simple. He is not a fortress or a loose cannon, or anything that many identify a city wide hero to be. When bringing law and order to the vast boundaries of Edenburgh, Ghost is not granted flight or any super-human powers, he simply works with the greatest strengths he possesses: Logical reasoning and virtue. In 2002, Ghostiel Brandt was awarded the title 'Edenburgh's highest-ranked investigator' by Mayor Asterelli due to his hard work and devotion, not flashy tricks.

True heroes don't need razzle-dazzle

All though he almost seemed like Superman. For years, Ghost had worked along side his mentor--Captain Julius Colombo, creating a reputable alliance against the elusive underground of Edenburgh. With Brandt's ingenius reasoning and Colombo's steadfast brawn, the citiest streets were the safest they had been since 1982. What was once covered in crime and filth, Brandt and Colombo personally paved over with platinum, and diamonds. Of course though, thanks to financial cut backs and the recession, the illustrious team of Brandt and Colombo met it's demise in early 2005.

They say fame is a fickle friend, and the duo was no exception. Everything they did together willowed away with time, and they were no longer worth their spot in the papers, as they quickly began to disappear from the public's consciousness. However, Brandt's name did revive shortlly, when Colombo had reportedly 'gone missing.' one weekend in December

As with any big event, rumors arose in the station that he had simply left without warning and gone back home to Sicily, but it wasn't too long before 'anonymous' sources lead Ghostiel and the investigations department to the conclusion, that Julius had been murdered. Specifically, by the rival business of The Devile Family: Edenburgh's notoriously quiet mafioso branch.

In the wake of Colombo's death, the city, at large, broke out into massive theories; this was now the murder mystery of the decade! News teams all over the tri-city area pestered Colombo's ex-partner into revealing his own thoughts, but he always refused to speak up. However, what the media wants, the media gets, and shortly after Brandt publically told off the Channel 6 news team, they hired some extra 'shadows' to trail him.

and we all know that shadows rarely keep our secrets

Media spies recorded every single conversation Brandt held with his co-workers, which, after some time, revealed the 'golden egg' Channel 6 so greedily sought. According to him, Julius had been a spy for the Devile family--investigating the ins and outs of the authorative branches in Edenburgh--and finally, he had been caught.

All the pieces of the puzzle fit together beautifully. He was heard saying above the hiss of the cassette tape,very rarely does this business attack anyone, unless they're in its way, or a member of the Devile Family. Colombo lead too quiet of a life to step on any business' toes, I would know.

Ghostiel's words were like spilt wine on white carpet ('we at Channel 6 have no idea where this tape came from!') The public was aghast once the conversations were anonymously released. Suspicions then arose, that Ghostiel had a hand in Colombo's death; how else could he have known so much? Was Edenburgh's hero, their beloved investigator, guilty of murder?

This was exactly the reaction that he had hoped for.

Despite the publics current opinion, love is quite possibly the best word associated with Ghostiel's tactics, and way of life. Don't take his hardened facade too seriously, he's a true lover in both the agape and romantic tenses, which has done far more for Edenburgh's protection than anything else. He truly would give anything to protect and cherish what he's truly passionate about. Ghostiel finds it easy to fall in love with others, especially if there is something that draws his attention towards them. This love, usually ends up simmering down into a deeply rooted trust-ship (not quite friendship, but, he'll trust) which will show it's worth in his life-or-death protection. If Brandt develops some sort of attachment towards you, he takes it upon himself to become one of the most loyal characters you will ever cross.

It's exceedingly rare for Brandt to develop romantic interests in others despite his love of man, simply because his heart and soul are both so tied up with his job--be it off or on duty. When he does find it in himself to develop crushes or even mild love, his ways of displaying it are far more chivalrous than the norm of today. He firmly believes that when courting, his interest is the greatest gift to the planet, and he will treat them that way; red wine and roses. There have been a few times where he will forget his courteous ways, but, that is only if they intimidate him and he is at a loss for words.

There are very few times where even the level headed Ghostiel grows enraged, and they're memorable occasions due to the fact that his temper can be forboding. He has been known to attack physically when under the right influence, which, due to his strong physique and runners build,can be dangerous towards the one who 'woke the sleeping giant.' The only time his temper is toyed with and he cannot attack, is when Mirage Shadowlier is involved due to two reasons:

One - Shadowlier is blood, and as awful as he is, Ghostiel cannot bring himself to abuse

Two - Shadowlier fears him, and in return, threatens to destroy his life if he allows harm towards him, or any of G.O.D's 'angels'.

I'll tell you one thing, I am not guilty of any crimes...however...


     They say the more you see, the more knowledge you obtain. Patterns unveil with human actions, and you're more subjected to placing a reason behind them after careful studying. Take criminals for example. Your common robber isn't the sly fox everyone thinks he is; he doesn't know any more or less than your average high school graduate most of the time. He's simply chiseled from pattern both internally and externally. Now according to popular statistics, he grew up in a world where money was the Holy Grail, and witnessed the depravities that follow the lack of it. Our robber conditioned himself to find ways to make money fast and with ease as he grew up, as he quickly observed the connection ; without it you were as good as dead. A pattern was printed into his mind that a lack of money means violence. It brings out the animalistic rage of civilization. Next, he observed that banks are like the springs of a lake with money. People just go inside, wait around for a few minutes, and come out with a nice stash of cash. How easy is that?

Our robber's patterns lead him to an armed robbery, which results in his arrest some hours later. Initially your response will be "what the hell was his problem?! If he's that starved for cash, get a job! McDonalds hires anyone!" however, things aren't all that easy. When you look at the world through cause and effect, and observed patterns, you'll see that our robber didn't know any better. He truly grew up in a world where working at Micky D's wouldn't be sufficient enough, nor were his schools teaching him anything. Those places make birth for violent gangs, it's terrible. Now, I'm not condoning robbery in any way. I work with the police, I'm one of the punishers. My advantage though, is that I can put the cause to the effect in a criminals mindset though observing patterns. The more derelict you are, the more likely you are to stoop to desperate measures. Take drug addicts. Are they ignorant gluttons that wish to appeal to a certain following? Not always. Nine times out of ten they chose that path due to some tragedy in their past, which in return, makes them want to numb away who they are. How about murderers? They work in more advanced patterns that usually are hard to pin point, though from my own experiences in the few cases I've had (thank god), I've seen that their intent to murder stems from a conditioned response towards someone, thing, or place that instigates. The most bizarre connection I've ever faced, was a with man nearly four years ago, who went on a rampage in Terrystown (the slums of Edenburgh to put it nicely.) He stabbed nine people in a matter of six hours, simply because he dropped his wallet. After our patrol forces coerced him and locked him up at the city jail for the night, I spoke with him. Not on the 'what the hell were you thinking!' level, but, I asked him about himself. I wanted to know the man inside and out.

From what he told me, he was a child--well--his father sold him to his friends. You can put two and two together. Now yes, this is a common story for criminals--let alone anyone who wants a reasoning for their deviance, but, there are certain keys you look for in those who are claiming 'that'. The mans hands were constantly in a knot, and he couldn't look me in the eyes let alone sit up straight. He wept for hours and prayed to those lives he robbed, begging to 'whatever god up there was listening' that they'd be safe. Finally after two glasses of brandy and a carton of cigarettes split between us, he looked up into my eyes. And I tell you my friend, I (initially) believed every word that slipped past his lips. Not even the greatest actor in the world could embody the hallow shell of a victim; the man's eyes were just balls in his head. No life, no luster, no soul. Only the occasional spark of light shot out from them, but it quickly died when he'd heave another round of tears my way. He told me that he'd been seeing a therapist for years, and while he was progressing, he still had violent set backs. "It's natural," he coughed, looking into my eyes with a cigarette dangling against his lower lip, " anger is the last stage of depression!" He didn't mean to murder, his mind simply snapped and he was a separate creature for the time being. When he told me that the wallet falling set him off, and that leather slapping concrete sounds like bed creaks amidst passion, all I could do was stare with mixed-belief. He was led back to his cell weeping, and I was left feeling as though I had met the greatest con man alive. Wallets falling sound like a love nest? Yeah right. This man had been pulling the wool over my eyes. But, I always want to believe in the best of humanity; that's just me.

That night I conducted an experiment with my partner Spencer Klein. She came to my place after her shift, and I asked her to jump on my bed (don't be a dirty mind.) After complaining that it was an odd request, she obliged and began, and I ran outside to the side walk, dropped my wallet onto the concrete….

I'll be darned if they didn't sound identical…like Pavlov and his dog, our 'cold blooded murderer' had a conditioned response; however brought on by a tragedy instead of a ringing bell. He was living more of a punishment by bearing that cross, than any enforced establishment could give him. See how patterns dictate more of our actions than we acknowledge? It just takes a lot of time to figure out their causes and effects.

And that's what my job is. See, it may sound like a lot of work, but once you've been doing it as long as me, it's a breeze. In return, I probably know more about you than your friends do just by exchanging glances. Your mannerisms, posture, voice, face, eyes…everything about you is the effect of some cause! Haha okay, I probably couldn't unveil your entire past with just one look, but I am quite good at what I do. I've seen, heard, felt, touched, and tasted more of the world than you probably ever will, and be thankful for that. I exist to protect you from those sorts of things, and prevent them from occurring the best I can.

Unfortunately, there are times when prevention is impossible, no matter what. Now, I'm not talking birth and death, those are certainties. What I mean is when you've been exposed to a certain pattern for years, map out its effects, and discover that you simply cannot stop it from happening. That's a special paradox I personally like to call the 'juggernaut syndrome.' Everyone has a juggernaut in their life, whether it's an idea, person, or thing. For example, my friend Anika's house in California. It was foolishly built on an erroding hillside, and over the years, exposure to the element has made it worse. Now yes, the Vangie's will move out of it to another location, however the house itself cannot be saved. It shouldn't have been built where it stands, but, you can't turn back time.

My Juggernaut is my own flesh and blood, my cousin, Mirage Shadowlier. I'm sure you know about him by now, a gifted--nay--BRILLIANT (haha…) business man whose main purpose is to repent Edenburgh from it's financial sins (meaning, single handedly truncating the recession.) Oh the desecration he has brought upon the city and everyone in it--but enough about that. I could go on for hours over Edenburgh's foolishness. Believe it or not, I once had the power to prevent my juggernaut from snaking itself up the corporate ladder. I knew what happened was going to happen through a life time of observations, but, I did nothing. I don't know why; I froze. Not a day goes by where I don't regret my lackadaisical attitude towards the illustrious G.O.D, especially now, since I'm the only darn person in all of Edenburgh that sees beyond the businesses razzle dazzle. Shadowlier is a criminal and a traitor--but no one sees that. He has turned the greater populous of Edenburgh into drones. He can literally get away with murder nowadays...

The more you see, the more you learn. The closer you are to preventing something terrible. Remember that

So, do you think I killed Julius Colombo?

I've loved and lost, like everyone. Will I love again? Absolutely. People come people go, that's just a fact of life. I have no doubt that my time for romance will come again but, for now, I'm just existing for me. It's not hard for me to develop crushes, but 90% of the time they never equate to anything. I would like to move on to a different subject though, because we're now crossing into personal business.

I'm not an old man, I'm only just now getting into my late twenties. Therefore, the majority of my family is still alive. I've got your parents, your uncles, your aunts, and a twin sister that's so far away from me I sometimes wonder if I made her up. Nothing out of the ordinary really, except for Mirage. Mirage, as I said, is my cousin and you'd think I'd have some sort of fame and glory by association right? Haha, wrong! I don't condone his work, and he knows it--therefore--shuts me up the best way he can: manipulation.

See, Mirage is very much like our robber friend I previously mentioned; however instead of learning a pattern due to the trials of his life, he has learned his own through education. A type of conditioning that proves more worth than 'street smarts' you know? Now when intelligent, powerful businessmen are robbers, it's almost impossible to track their patterns, or what caused them--much like murderers. Once you do get a hold of them though, they're even harder to dismantle because they're built so solidly. For example, you'd have an easier time deconstructing a merry-go-round than you would a roller coaster. The coaster's multiple levels of knotted steel track, are much like a crooked business man; they are both nearly impenetrable. So it's probably no surprise to you when I say, mister Mirage Shadowlier is the most impressive 'roller coaster' I've ever seen.

There is only one other member of my family, that I'd like to aknowledge. My uncle, Sirus Otasian. Granted he's probably the filthiest human being alive, and leads a life that feeds to the terminally paranoid, he taught me everything I know. Well--pretty much. Due to his constant suspicion and his constant lying, he gave me a better insight of a criminals mind than any course or academy could have taught me. I owe you Otasian, I wouldn't be the man I am now without you. Now to decide whether or not that's a good thing!

Anika

Mmmm I have very few, only about three to be honest...and a few affiliates who I trust deeply. They know who they are, and I don't feel that I need to showcase them.

Jecvre as far as I know, lives in Vespertilio now and works closely with Solace Vuong, however that's all I'm aware of. Not sure what the business is, but that's not my place to investigate. He and I attended the same police academy back in the day, and needless to say we both saved eachothers behinds a number of times hahahaha. One of the few people I'd willingly die for to protect.

Solace I first came across the infamous Vuong during an 'undercover' investigation with G.O.D, and soon learned she was 'hired' to help the Devile's take down Shadowlier. Well trained young lady if I might say so myself, could have killed me and not left any traces behind! Without a doubt she's one of the most interesting souls I've ever met! Like Jec, another person I'd die for (okay...strictly on 'business terms'! ;) )

Anika Miss Vangie and I have been friends for..wow...forever haha. I've known her since she was fourteen (and I was eighteen) and even then she was the bossy little so and so she is today. She's a handful; tough, strong, loud, independent, and probably one of the most physically beautiful women I've ever met. She's a second lieutenant with the Edenburgh Police force, and often worked with me on my cases. Ann and I used to um...well....we did have a relationship at one point, but it pretty much died. Now that didn't stop us from having on and off feelings towards eachother for a while, but, I've moved on and she's now engaged to The Last Standing's Dulce Maldovan (which broke millions of hearts.) Wonderful friend, probably my best one.



Gee, I wonder why these little guys look like angels! Catch the pattern yet?

This Page Wins









The least read spot on the page ;)


ABOUT G.O.D
What IS G.O.D about?

A: G.O.D is a graphic novel that I, along with four (number five is MIA D: ) other talented people, have been working on since early 2005. The plot line is not presented as well on Ghost's page, but you get a decent idea :) it's basically, the corruption of a city named Edenburgh due to a mafia like business, that everyone seems to turn to for help. The more exposure it gets, the worse its effects are. Only one man knows how to stop it, but there is only so much you can do when the rest of the world doesn't see what you do.

Is it going to be published?

AYes, but don't go looking for it in any book stores ;D. The Indigo Violet studios (meaning me buddies/creative group) Lost our artist so we're in serrrious jeopardy but....hopefully soon D:

...Then why are you wasting time on Neopets?

A: Who says I can't use it? x) Actually, I use Neopets to market the plot and characters. See who likes it, who follows, and who would be interested in it once it's out in book form :) Neopets is a wonderful place to show off plots (even though there is the threat of theft) because it's so big, and has so many different ages! Instead of using Deviantart, I use Neo. Plus, I've been playing for so long it's hard to quit hahaha ohhh man.

Can I join G.O.D?

A: Think you have what it takes? ;)

ABOUT ME

How old are you?

A: Younger than 23, but older then 17 ;) here's a hint. I work as a freelance web designer (LOL HIRE ME. j/k. Sort of.), and I'm a film/english student ;)

How long have you been drawing?

A: Only for about three years. I'm a late bloomer. Self taught haha

Why are you playing Neopets...?

A: BECAUSE I CAN! It's relaxing and good for the creative juices.

Do you roleplay?

A: Best way to develop a character ;) I'm a little limited though, I don't take on too many new plots because I lose my muse easily haha man.

Well, will you RP with me?

A: I'm weird, I don't like to RP with strangers! I like getting to know people first, so, if you'd like to RP with me, befriend me! I do love meeting people :)

Can you make me a lookup/pet lookup/page?

A: Well, I can help you with HTML and CSS!

Where do you make up these characters?!

A: It's something I've had all my life. Over active imagination that has never shut off. Plus, my obsession with symbolism and just creating in general.

Can you help me make one?

A: Sure :) I don't mind helping people.

Will you draw for me?

A: Hahah it's rare for me to draw for MYSELF let alone my close friends. I do adoptables though...here, this page, and here

Someone stole your work!

A: If they stole an adoptable, I don't...well...eh it's annoying but I can't get mad. They're MADE for people ( as long as they keep them on Neopets) Artwork or a character, let me know.

Join my guild?

A: I'm happy in Shukumei and co-running Outside Infinity :)

Can I draw you fan art?

A: XD Don't ask me! Just do it! I'll love you forever!!

Be my friend?

A: Meet me first! :)

HOLY BATMAN ON A STICK, MY CHARACTER IS IN LOVE WITH YOURS! RELATIONSHIP?!

A: OKay so, I've exaggerated the actual format of the question x). Etienne and Constantine are taken, Ghostiel's got a little sparkle for someone (sort of!) but Mirage is pretty single. He's um...not a nice catch though, believe me.

MORE TO COME PROBABLY!
