### Personality

### Represented Color

Green

**Adrian Locklin** is a loving father, brother, son, and a very devoted husband, taking the extra step to keep Brooklyn happy knowing exactly what the both of them had to go through to get to that point. With that said, Adrian isn't one to "hate" anybody unless they did something extremely wrong... he wouldn't even admit to hating Millie.

## Personality

He's always been known to be a caregiver. He would step up every chance he got to help out his two younger siblings, forging a very strong bond with his younger brother, Logan. He is also a very forgiving person depending on what you did, with an example of his oldest sister, Millie. Despite his dark history involving her, he still cares about her and, while not on talking terms currently, still wishes nothing but the absolute best for her. He'd protect her, along with the rest of his family, until the bitter end.

He's also known to be a funny, somewhat childish guy when he's in a good mood, being silly around his kids when they were little, and cracking jokes or being bubbly around Brooklyn just to make her laugh. When in a bad mood, he tends to be silent and keep to himself. He isn't one to talk about things right away, but will over time allude to things going on.

## Backstory

As a kid, he adored making friends, growing his own popularity throughout middle and high school. When he was 8, his little sister Delilah was born and, hoping to impress his older siblings, he immediately took on a protective big brother role. Making sure she was fed and telling his parents to feed her and burp her... even when she was moments before. Getting an ice pack if she was so much as tapped a little harder than Adrian thought was ok. His parents were caught between thinking it was cute and thinking it was a slight problem.

As the both of them grew a little older, he toned it down, knowing how adventurous and playful Delilah was as a toddler. When he was 12, it almost started again as his youngest sibling, Logan, was born. His protective nature was a little more prominent, as his mental disability left him vulnerable to bullying at school/elsewhere.

This is what pushed the two closer, as they are just as close, if not closer, today as they were then. Adrian taught Logan how to skateboard when he was 5, and he's been doing it since. Logan was the first one Adrian introduced Brooklyn to when they started dating, he was the first Adrian introduced his first kid to and Logan showed Adrian his first kid when he became a dad. They're close, though they don't push their siblings out of their lives, especially Logan. Adrian was playful around Logan, even dressing up at times to make him laugh, jumping in mud or getting paint on himself just to see Logan (and Delilah sometimes) smile.

In high school, Adrian kept up a good reputation. He was popular, had good grades. A reputation in Emerson High was a very fragile thing, and in a moment of utter panic, Adrian kept everything about he did at home to himself. The only one who knew was Zoe, who lived on All Boro at the time. How she found out is still a mystery to Adrian, but she used it to her advantage, blackmailing him into dating her for 9 months, in which Adrian pretends never happened. Zoe would try to mold him into the perfect boyfriend, completely different from what he was. Banning him from talking to certain people, only allowing him to be seen in public with her. He finally snapped and broke up with her in front of his friends, in which she started spouting his secrets, including a crush on Brooklyn, in which he was more curious as to how she found out. To his shock, some of his friends stuck around (others didn't, thinking he was weird) and he also began dating Brooklyn as that was the final push he needed. He is currently the dad of 3 grown kids and is still happily married to Brooklyn, completely erasing those 9 months with Zoe from his memory, and often talks with his siblings... except Millie, whose daughter bullied Logan when they were younger (Riley was older by a year) and Millie never did anything to punish her. Adrian hasn't forgiven either of them for that.

## Relationships

### Brooklyn Littlewood

The two of them have been through plenty together. From issues involving his ex, and issues involving her own ex that he didn't even know about, he's definitely grown into a protective husband. He deeply cares for her, wanting her to be genuinely happy and loving life, even though he knows some days she doesn't. He's happy with her and holds so many memories of their early days of marriage and when their children were small.

### Jace, Madeline, and Adia

The three kids he had with Brooklyn. Three kids he is massively proud of and enjoys spending time with. He was a little nervous when his oldest, Jace, admitted to wanting to be a police officer, but he was happy to support him the entire way. Madeline was a mommy's girl, adoring her mother. It was something Adrian found adorable, and hoped made Brooklyn feel loved, too. She grew up and felt awkward about having a "lesser" job working in the mall complex on the island. Adrian assured her that it wasn't a lesser job, and that he and Brooklyn were just as proud of her. Adia, their youngest, proved to be highly intelligent but found her balance in being playful, too. She can spout out facts about any topic while being covered in paint because she wanted to paint a rainbow, or something of the sort. Adrian, of course, enjoys asking about random topics just to let her let off some knowledge steam and he loves every second. He loves seeing all of his kids and seeing where their lives went.
