The Bramage, sometimes spelled BraMage, is a rather rare evolution of the Bratini and one that most tamers don't know much about. The reason for their rarity and the lack of general knowledge about them is threefold. First they were rather rare during the Revenge War as they were only ever seen with the draconic armies and only a few were successfully captured and tamed by human forces. The second reason for their rarity is that the means of evolving them was only recently discovered and those who own them tend to rather possessive of them which greatly limited access to them. The last reason is that many T2 companies actually used their influence to get the breed and information about them restricted for many years. The reason for the last being that Bramages can actually function as living T2s as they can learn and teach almost any technique to other pokegirls.

Unlike many dragon types Bramages have no combat related physical enhancement nor any claws or wings. Only a few even have scales and for those few that do the scales are so soft that they provide no real protection. They typically stand in height from 5 to 6 feet tall and many of them are very well endowed when it comes to the size of their breasts which is part of the reason for the breed's name. Their skin is usually a dark grey, blue or black and their ears are pointed like those on elves. Their hair color varies but usually complements their skin tone. Their only real draconic feature is their eyes which are similar to those that most dragon types having tall and narrow pupils. Many have commented that aside from their eyes Bramages look very similar to Dark Elves and it was and still is common for tamers who own members of the breed to not correct this visual misidentification.

Bramages like many dragon types are a bit prideful but not nearly to the extent that some dragon breeds are. They also tend to have more of a passion for learning and teaching, especially magic, than for fighting. Many Bramages can rival Alaka-Whams in term of intelligence and knowledge as they have not only both enhanced intelligence and memory but also the mimetic memory enhancement. This combination makes them almost able to perfectly recall anything they have ever seen or heard. Because of this they can learn almost any technique known, they cannot learn hyper venom and certain other breed unique attacks, although they may not actually be able to use the technique themselves due to their lacking of claws, sharp teeth or other requirements to successfully perform them.

The Bramages ability to remember everything they see and hear along with their ability to learn almost every technique would not have been all that alarming to T2 companies if not for their last mental oddity; Bramages are telepathic. In terms of telepathic strength they are not very strong at all as most struggle a bit to even use the lower powered telepathic attack abilities and while they can pull surface thoughts and feelings they cannot actively read another person's mind. Further no Bramage has ever been known to have any telekinetic abilities at all. However their telepathy does allow them to project their thoughts. Only when using the Dream Time ability can they fully enter another person's mind but only if the person is willing. While in the other's mind the Bramage can teach other pokegirls any of the techniques that the Bramage has learned, even those that she herself cannot use. T2 companies seeing both the breed's potential to aid them and the breed's threat to their business should they become more common bought up the majority of the breed and managed to convince some league that ownership of Bramages should be restricted to breeders, watchers and researchers. When their evolutionary method was discovered such restriction laws were mostly rescinded as it became very hard to enforce them, however Bramages still remain a very rare sight to see in a tamer's harem.

Part of the reason they still remain rare in tamer harems is their lack of physical enhancements and initial lack of many combat techniques makes them not very skilled at combat right after evolving. While Bramages can quickly learn more attacks as every technique used against them will be remembered by them, many tamers prefer to get or evolve a dragon type that can hold their own in combat immediately. Further many members of the breed have self-confidence issues when it comes to combat even after learning a variety of combat techniques. However those tamers that are willing to wait through the Bramages initial weakness in combat and who help members of the breed to gain confidence in themselves in battle are highly rewarded. The sheer variety of techniques that Bramages can learn makes it hard to find a situation where they don't have at least one technique that will be highly effective against their opponents. Truly most experience d Bramages only struggle against other dragon types, psychic types due to their own limited telepathic power being no match against true psychic type pokegirls and of course ice types. Further most Bramages prove capable of learning magic and with training they can become very skilled with it, especially with enchantment magic.

While at first lacking any sexual techniques the Bramage can learn such things as easy as they can battle techniques. This means they can quickly become fairly skilled at both sex battling and at taming. However as they don't have improved endurance or other physical enhancements that aid in sex battling most never truly shine during sex battles. Most tamers don't mind this though as the Bramages lack of physical enhancements also make them easier to be properly tamed by non-bloodgifted tamers and means that they do not need to be restrained during tamings.

It is extremely rare for a tamer to encounter a feral Bramage. Given that they can learn to teleport and that many tamers push them to do so as quickly as possible it is very rare for tame Bramages to go feral. Further their lack of physical enhancements means that they often killed off by physically stronger ferals as they lose their ability to cast spells while feral. They still retain the ability to learn and use abilities they see but they are limited by the fact that they have long term memory problems like most ferals and will forget the ability within a few minutes. Bramages that do manage to survive in the wild typically do so by finding and joining a group of other dragon types. In such groups they tend to mostly stay at the group's den and become the primary caretakers to any pokekits in the group. Watchers have noticed that despite their lack of abilities while feral Bramages seem to be highly ranked in feral groups with almost every other dragon breed in the group acting somewhat subservient to them. Only Dragonesses seem to outrank them. Researchers have also noticed that this pattern of behavior seems to also be present, to some degree, in tame dragon populations as well. It has been theorized that many other dragon types may have been designed by Sukebe to have a genetic predisposition to obey the commands of Bramages.

It is not uncommon for tamers or tradesmen with Bramages to make some extra money by using the living T2 pokegirl as such; allowing others tamers' pokegirls to learn new techniques for a fee. While many T2 companies have tried to get such practices illegalized the simple fact that it would be next to impossible for the leagues to enforce such laws has kept them from passing such measures.

Threshold directly into a Bramage is believed to be impossible at this time as the breed has the longevity enhancement and none have been known to have become pokewomen yet.
