PERSONALITY
Outgoing and friendly, Brian is well liked by most and has a very close knit group of core friends. He's great with small talk and can start up a conversation with almost anyone about almost anything. While primarily a positive individual, he doesn't try to force others to be the same and is never obnoxious about it. His temper is a slow one, but when someone gets him mad it's not likely to blow over very easily and he can be quite cutting toward those who have wronged him or the people who he cares about. Given how much it takes to make him upset, he's not a very forgiving person. If someone has done something to the level where they'd have to be forgiven in the first place - majorly so, not just accidentally being insulting or cranky - they probably don't deserve to be forgiven anyway.
He's a smart kid, who tends to do well enough in school that he doesn't have to spend hours and hours studying to get decent grades. He's not at all a perfectionist and while he wants to do well, he also wants to have a social life. Currently, he's got a balance between the two that seems to be working fairly well. Partying that involves drinking, drugs and smoking isn't his style, but if a party is more a social interaction than an excuse for a bunch of people to get drunk, he's usually interested in attending. However, dramatics are not what he's interested in and when people make scenes, he's very uncomfortable by it, just like he is with awkward tension and he's the type of guy that will attempt to crack a joke to get people talking. Silence in general isn't his favorite thing and he tends to sometimes talk a bit longer than necessary, especially to fill more heavy silences.
As far as dating goes, Brian has a pretty steady track record. He's not the type to approach a relationship looking for anything specific, instead preferring to just see how things happen if a mutual attraction is shared. Sometimes it leads to a short term arrangement, sometimes a few dates, and a couple of times he's had a steady girlfriend. His last one was a year older than him though and they broke it off as she was going off to college. As he's approaching his last year at the Academy he's not too heartbroken and figures that until he gets used to the new work load, he'll be better off single anyway.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Brian's favorite color is bright blue, but he's not a fan of red. He loves fall, and could do without summer. He's a cat person, but hates goats. He could eat pickles any day of the week, and he craves cream puffs most often, but he hardly ever eats carrots, and dislikes sugar cookies. He's not a pineapple juice drinker, he much prefers iced tea. He loves to write and spend time with friends, but dislikes being a third wheel. His best subject in school is Math, and his worst is Languages.
APPEARANCE
In his looks, Brian considers himself average at best. He's not very tall, standing at only 5'8" and he's got a slim build that doesn't take on muscle mass easily which contributes to him looking a bit younger than he is. His dark hair is kept between short and medium length depending on his mood, but he always cuts it when it gets in danger of falling into his blue eyes - which are admittedly small and usually more squinted. While his ears are a bit large, his nose fits his face and his smile lights up his whole demeanor. Not quite as fashion conscious as either of his parents, he does care what he wears and has developed his own sense of style that, while more on the casual side, is something that he follows when he picks out what he wants to wear or buy.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Not particularly that close to either of his parents, Brian does get along a tad better with his mom just because she's a bit more forth coming with conversation. Still, like his sister, he can get a bit annoyed by her slightly more dramatic ways. Though, at the same time, he'd much rather talk to his mother about his problems or his life in general than his father who seems a bit too non-responsive at times for his liking. He loves them both and respects them, but they're not his first choice in company.
Given their differences in personalities, he's not quite close to Lauren either. He loves his little sister a lot though and is quite protective over her, seeing as she's so many years younger than he is. He knows that he can sometimes be a bit much for her, as she isn't much for socializing, but still tries to keep up with her while away at the Academy and enjoys when she actually does want to talk to him about anything, always willing to help her out or give advice if she seeks it.
