## Character

### **Personality**

Brandon is a very nice person. He likes to talk to people, but if they try to close he'll back out. He is very shy and quiet around older males, something that has contributed to his past. He is always wearing long clothing to hide his scars and old burn marks. He is somewhat cold to strangers but will warm up to them once he gets to know them. He is also very cunning and has a very morbid side to him, something that hardly comes out. Brandon is hot-headed and stubborn, and fiercely loyal. He is a bit of a class clown type, and can seem a bit stupid at times. He refuses to back down from a fight and enjoys causing chaos by playing pranks on others. However, he can also be shy and lacks social confidence around others. Brandon also shows a strong protective streak, especially towards those that he cares about, like his friends, who he sees as his new family.

To many, Brandon is not the sharpest knife in the Caesar, (once calling science notation, science notification), but he’s fine with that, willing to learn from his mistakes (even if his friends tease and laugh at him for it). He is kind-hearted, caring, and generous. Brandon can be very flirty and quite the charmer, but generally treats others with the utmost respect. Brandon is sweet and sentimental, but get on his bad side and he'll claw your eyes out. He's fiercely loyal to his loved ones, and seldom gives up. Brandon is a laid-back guy. He's very sporty. When the time to fight comes, he is really concentrated and calculates every move of yours. He is very flirty and likes having a good time. He is good at building things. Especially traps and weapons. He enjoys spending time with his half-siblings and is protective of the younger ones. He loves spending time with his friends especially if it's Kimberly and Amar.
