Bran is a human with dark chocolate skin that has seen some weather and scars. He stands several inches short of six feet in height, but has an athletic and hardy body, muscles born of hard work, and less grace than he might wish. His eyes are a deep brown, and his long black hair is in dreadlocks or braids most of the time. He does also have a beard that is usually well-trimmed.

He wears chainmail armor over simple clothing. A warhammer hangs from his belt and a quiver of javelins, along with a pack, rest on his back. Both his shield and the amulet around his neck carry the holy symbol to his goddess, Selune.
