Appearance
Brian is around 5'10" with short, dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is thin with fairly defined arms, though he doesn't necessarily do anything in particular to keep it up. Sometimes, he goes out looking his best, but sometimes he'll just throw on some clothes and not bother shaving. He has an appendix scar and no tattoos. For the time being, he sees no reason to get a tattoo as he doesn't have anything that he'd like to brand into himself. But if something changes then he might get one.

Personality
While more outgoing than his stepbrother Chris, Brian isn't exactly a party animal. He enjoys meeting people and sometimes in his hometown it was as though he had a magnetic personality. However, though he likes to be liked and he loves making friends, he isn't really one who will go out of his way to please people just to get them to be friends with him. He'd rather have friends than enemies, and he'd rather not have any enemies at all.
Unfortunately, he tends to put his foot in his mouth at times, sometimes being too brutally honest. So, while he befriends people, usually girls, they have to be understanding with his brand of humor. He likes to yank people's chains sometimes, make sarcastic comments, but it's all in fun. And most times, it escapes his mouth before he can censor it.
Brian grew up with Chris from the age of two until they graduated from high school. While Chris decided to go away for college, Brian went to a trade school nearby to train to be an electrician.
When he graduated, he began to seek employment as an electrician, meanwhile doing work for people around the neighborhood, trying to build a good reputation. For about ten years, he worked his way up from a guy who fixed things for people when they needed it, to an electrician, to an electrician with some management over others. He was enjoying himself: he had a great job, a great family, and a great girlfriend.
His luck changed when Brian found out that his boss was fudging some of the numbers in their finances. At first, Brian bit his tongue and kept quiet. But it wasn't long before he couldn't hold it in any longer. He tried to get his boss to stop, but he refused and told Brian he'd never had the guts to go through with it. Therefore, Brian turned his boss in, because he thought it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, that choice caused him to get fired.
He missed his old job, but he figured it was fine. If they didn't need him, he didn't need them. He'd just get another job. But Brian's luck had changed and now he found himself blacklisted. It seems that his boss fixed things up before the investigation started which left Brian looking like a complete liar. No one wanted a nark working for them, which frustrated Brian to no end. He had imagined living in his hometown all of his life, but now things had turned bleak and he felt like he had no friends. Being such a people person, this hit him hard. He wasn't used to being surrounded by people who hated him and he fell into a depression.
So, when Chris invited him to move to Pleasant Port and seek employment there, Brian took him up on his offer. Brian's spirits have lifted since he's been there and he now works at a cafe and is finally beginning to build a business for himself. He loves working as an electrician. However, more than employment, Brian was looking for social interactions, friendship. That's what he truly thrives on.
Brian's life started when his mom decided to go to a party to grab a few drinks and unwind. Unfortunately, she met some random guy while she was drunk and ended up having sex with him. That random night of sex resulted in Brian. Unable to find the father, Kathi raised him alone for two years. That is until she met Josh Miller in the pediatrician's office while he was there with his son Chris.
Josh and Kathi clicked instantly and they both shared the bond of having two-year-old sons that they were raising on their own. They started to date soon after and eventually got married. They decided to adopt the other's son so that the two boys would be brothers. Throughout raising them, they have never treated their non-biological son as 'your son'. Instead they have always regarded Brian and Chris as being *their* sons.

Brian likes her, but was surprised when he moved in with them to find out how much she had changed Chris. At times he does try to bring out the 'old Chris' even though Chris isn't that much different.
Brian first knew her as one of the girls from Micah's Brothel. However, once he met her, he quickly fell in love with her and now they are living together and have two beautiful children.

Madeline Baker - She works with him at the cafe. He thinks she's off the wall, but she cracks him up, so he doesn't mind.

He's very excited for her that's she's having a baby, but at the same time is a little nervous, because he doesn't think she's very stable.
