Name: Brad Kavanagh
Nationality: American
Age: 18
Weight: 175
Height: 6'1"
Build: Brad used to have a very lithe body, very stringy. This of course had changed over the time he was gone. Bulky but not a complete powerhouse, Brad's body looks completely different than how he looked before.
Cosmetic: His clothing style hasn't changed one bit, however. Even before his time in the slammer, Brad was always seen with a pair of blue-jeans, which is still very true today. His shirts were always very similar: Just plain colored T-shirts, however the colors themselves were always different each day. For the past few months, Brad has been wearing the exact same pair of glasses, although they do look a bit cracked around the top right edge. He has a tattoo of a dragon stretched along his right arm.
Eye color: Hazel (No lies here ^^')
Hair: Brad's hair, which shines a nice shade of brown, isn't completely long, reaching down to his chin. The hair over his forehead nearly covers his glasses. His hair is groomed, although one would argue to point that it's WELL-GROOMED. Completely natural, Brad has not cut it in nearly two months, unless if you consider his sideburns as his hair.
Habits: Brad has a horrible habit of rambling on and on, although he hasn't been doing much of that after his time out of jail. Hre also tends to brush his hair out of his eyes, since it does reach down very far.
Other Information
Personality: Brad may seem like a complete ass, but deep down inside he hasn't changed at all: He's a softie even though he could pound the shit out of anyone if he really wanted to. Due to his life behind bars, however, Brad has developed a nearly different personality from what he once had. He was still intelligent, but he tends to shoot first and ask questions later, a complete change from his previous beliefs. Brad's anger levels started to rise, he became very rude began to repeatedly use foul language without reason.
It's almost impossible for anyone to deceive Brad and make him do whatever they wish of him. He's had a hell of alot of experience of this (usually involving someone trying to sound friendly towards him, and fools him into doing something they don't want to), and now has learned from these mistakes. Now, the only way to gain his trust is to treat him like everyone else, and to actually be TRUSTWORTHY (as apposed to sucking up to him whenever someone wants something of him), and even then, he might actually still hold some suspicions. Brad used to, and still does, look at most situations logically, and thinks hard about the best way to get out of it.
Brad's semi-mocking tone of voice tends to get into trouble with other kids his age, and his blunt, outspoken mindset gets him into even more trouble than he would have wanted. He used to able to calm the whole situation down a notch with his friendly appearance and convincing skills, and this of course still holds true after his time in jail. Brad, however, now is alot more emotional-driven than before. If someone even remotely pushes his buttons the wrong way, all logical thinking goes out the window. He makes decisions based on what his heart tells him to do, and this might be the string that might kill him in the end.
Hobbies: Brad never really had many things that he could consider as 'hobbies'. He likes to read and have intellectual conversation with people, but that's usually the norm for many people. Since his time in Jail, Brad still doesn't have many hobbies, but that isn't the one thing that he's worried about.
Extracurricular: School Newspaper(A year), Chess Club(Hates the game after his two weeks on the club), Debate(only club he was involved in before his sentence.
Important Details
History: Brad is, if you could understand the term, an ex-nerd. A year ago, this wouldn't have been the case, because he was very active in intelligent activities such as Chess club, and got into all Honors Classes. Being born and raised in San Fransisco, Brad had a very normal life with two great parents, Nancy and Harry. He only has about one sister, named Victoria, who he was very attached to and was a sort of guardian of sorts to her, all the way until she entered high school. Brad was a normal kid living in a normal town, nothing strange about it.
He was a very intelligent young man who didn't mind what people viewed of him, and believed that what other people thought of him wasn't something he should give a damn about. If someone were to just come up to him and started crying insult after insult right in his face, Brad would just shrug, then either come up with a counter-insult or would act as if nothing had happened at all. The bully, who would be quite surprised, would either call him a stupid name like 'faggot' or would just storm away from him.
Not only did he get much attention from many of the jokers and pranksters of Hircine High, but he was seen as some sort of prophet to the geeks, nerds and other high school rejects for how he can completely dismiss all the insults and the harassment and turn it around against the attacker. Brad was making alot of friends, more than the normal nerd usually could, and was becoming a very popular kid around the campus.
All of this changed three months before the present day. For reasons unknown to the other students, Brad was suddenly taken out of school and brought to jail. The case was kept very quiet, so much so that not many people, not EVEN Brad was certain about what her did. Apparently, an old lady living across the street from Brad, Ms. Newton, who was a very influential woman who made a huge impact on changing San Fransisco for the good, had been strangled to death the day before. Brad, who actually went over to the woman's house the day before to deliver some mail that had been sent accidentally to his parents, found the door wide open, and let himself it without even thinking about it.
Assuming that Ms. Newton had just stepped out for a minute, Brad had unknowingly picked up a dish towel (which he had no clue was the murder weapon) from the floor, covering it with his own prints, and left the letters on the desk near the door. He hadn't noticed any signs of a struggle, and he didn't even think to check upstairs to find the old woman's corpse. When he was put on trial, he told the whole truth, but the DA (who had taken it upon himself to convict someone, seeing as how much of an effect Ms. Newton had on the town) didn't believe a single word of it, and completely trashed Brad's testimony. The whole courtroom(who were wanted to find justice to the crime as much as the DA did) believed in the DA's words, and sentenced Brad to jail for a crime he didn't even commit.
From the first day in jail, Brad learned to adapt to his new surroundings. Under most circumstances, Brad would have the shit beat out of him before he could do anything against it. Luckily for Brad, he had two cellmates, Johnny and Carlos, who thankfully none of which were the psycho inmates that the boy had always imagined them being. It was them who taught Brad how to survive his new life behind bars, and they are the sole reason for Brad's sudden change in personality.
Johnny was a smooth criminal, who had just been arrested for trying to pull off a huge robbery at a bank. He was sly, witty, and had many connections in all the gangs in jail. Carlos, however, was the complete opposite of what Johnny was. The Latino was a tough looking guy, who always acted serious even when he was telling his jokes (Usually, these 'jokes' consisted of things of a sick nature.) It was Carlos who taught Brad how to defend himself if a bunch of other inmates ganged up on him. Thanks to the both of his cellmates, Brad was able to cope with his life in jail. Luckily (or unluckily in this case) for the first stroke of luck in nearly one-fourth of a year, the real murderer, who actually turned out to be Ms. Newton's son Norris who killed her to gain her inheritance, felt that the guilt was just too much for him and had turned himself in. Brad has now been let back into his regular class, the past three months being a complete blur for him.
Now, Brad is finally back in his hometown and he's going to find himself thrown into the dark side of San Fran.
Fighting Style: Brad's fighting style is a very strange one. He appears as a grappler, which is very true to a point. Most of the time he take a good grip on his enemy, chances are he isn't going to let go unless he gets a fist in the face or a knee in the testicles. However if it turns out that he can't get a good grip on his opponent, then he'll change his style completely. Johnny has taught him well about the change of the fighting conditions. If he can't throw the guy/girl to the ground, then he'll pound the shit out of them.
His movements are more based on keeping his own balance, rather than trying to overcome his opponent. After all, an angry senior from San Fran is a hell of alot better to win a match than a angry senior from San Fran that falls to the ground almost every time he gets hit.
Strengths: Brad's fighting style is his biggest advantage. He can literally change his attack pattern on the fly, never limiting himself to just one way to attack someone. He usually keeps his own balance, which can also be seen as a disadvantage when you notice that he may pay attention to keeping on his feet than his opponent.
Weaknesses: Even though Brad can keep his balance, he certainly isn't Speedy Gonzales. He's rather slow, and his opponent might use this to his advantage.
