-- PERSONALITY !

-- HARD-WORKING: With a hard childhood, Bryan's determine not to have an unstable adulthood. He knew to accomplish that, he must work and succeed in life. He needs a proper education, which would offer him a proper job, which would allow him to buy a proper home. No one would work harder to achieve his goals and dreams than Bryan. Even now he works hard. However, that doesn't mean that Bryan doesn't enjoy a well earned vacation every once in a while. As a medical engineer, Bryan works hard to create cutting edge equipment for hospitals.
-- DREAMER: To escape the tragedy of his childhood, Bryan often spent his time daydreaming of a better day. Bryan doesn't talk too much about his past because it was so painful for him. In fact, he tries to avoid talking about it all together. As he's slowly reaching his dreams, he's beginning to form new dreams. Bryan's dreams may be simple and not extravagant. But when you grow up with nothing, anything is better than that. He believes in soul mates and destinies and one true love. Unfortunately, Bryan had one too many true loves in his lifetime. However, he doesn't like to dwell too much on the past. He has learned to just go with the flow and live life as it was supposed to be lived.
-- IMPULSIVE: Some times, Bryan does things on the whim. If he feels like doing it, then he's going to do it. If he feels like not going into work today, then he's not going into work today. If he felt like buying a brand new car today, there's nothing going to stop him. Some might right this off as being fun and spontaneous. But, Bryan really doesn't think about the consequences of his actions sometimes. That could be problematic for the people closest to him.
-- OPTIMISTIC: It may have been hard to have an optimistic viewpoint with what he had to deal with in his early life, but it was the only way to survive. His younger brother relied on him to be strong in order for him to get through it. So, Bryan did his best to see the silver lining in everything he did and see. But, that doesn't mean he's always happy. There are times when Bryan have to struggle through a few things, but he does his best to have a positive outlook in life. It was the one thing that saved him all these years.

-- HATES: His childhood, traveling, not being home, liars, smokers, snobs, butter pecan ice cream, being lost, admitting he's wrong, foster care system.

-- HISTORY !

Bryan came from a harsh background. His parents broke up when he was about five. His father moved to the other side of the coast and Bryan and his younger brother stayed with their mother in Rochester. Unfortunately, his mother wasn't capable of taking care of the boys and they were sent into child services. For about eight years, Bryan bounced from foster home to foster home. The only consolation he had was that his brother was always with him. He knew that the service sometimes split up siblings. So, no matter how awful the homes can be at times or never being able to have a stable home, they always had each other to stay constant.

Luckily, Bryan's education didn't suffer from his unstable childhood. He may not have been happy, but he learned to live with the cards he was dealt with. Bryan attended RIT for his undergraduate studies. Then, he went to graduate school. Bryan was determined to have a stable life and home as an adult. He thought if he worked hard in school, he would be able to find himself a nice job that would pay for a home. However, he never expected to fall in love. He thought that would come later in life. But, when he met Sarah, he couldn't help but fall deeply in love with her. It hit him hard and they had a pretty intense relationship for over a year.

Bryan was beginning to lose himself in the relationship. He would be the first to admit that it wasn't Sarah's fault. It was one of those "it's not you, it's me" type of things. But, how could he explain to the woman he loved that he just needed a break when there was nothing wrong with the relationship. Bryan began picking fights with Sarah. Eventually, their fighting escalated to a point where they ended their relationship. Instead of an amicable break like he had hoped, they had a nasty break up. Bryan hadn't talked to Sarah since and moved on.

It took some time for Bryan to get over Sarah and found someone new. It took a new town and a new job to get his head wrapped around settling down for good. After two years of dating, Bryan proposed and they have been happily married for over a year. Bryan was soon offered a job at Capeside. When him and his wife visited the small town, he knew this was a place he wanted to raise their children. However, unconsciously, he also knew Capeside was Sarah's hometown. He wasn't sure if he planned on running into her or if he still had feelings for her. But, he knew he wanted to come to this town. So, Bryan and his wife moved into town a couple of months ago and started to make a home for themselves.

-- SAMPLE !

Today was the perfect day for skipping. Classes? Who cared about them? Patrick could honestly say that, at that moment, he sure as hell didn't. He knew he was supposed to be setting a good example for his sisters, but what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. Besides, being in his senior year, Patrick was entitled to a little break every now and then. He had worked hard to get where he was, and you would think that with them almost being done with high school, the classes and the course loads would get a little easier, and thin out a little.
But, oh, no. They had to pile all the last-minute-portfolio garbage on them, and all these non-sense, career building assignments that had yet to help him figure out where he wanted to take his life once he graduated. He knew he wanted to go to college, but he had no idea what he wanted his focus to be. He supposed that wasn't so uncommon in a college Freshman, but he didn't want to be the typical student. He wanted his ducks in a row before stepping onto that campus, even if he did wind up changing his mind about it all later on.

With a sigh, Patrick plopped down into the grass and rummaged around in his backpack for the pack of cigarettes that he almost never opened. Flipping the lid open, he counted the remaining ones and figured that, since he'd bought the pack a few months ago, he'd smoked maybe three of them. He generally only broke them out when he was feeling stressed, and just thinking about school, and homework, and the real world caused worry lines to appear on his forehead. He fondled the pack for a moment or two before pulling one out and digging around his backpack again for his lighter. He glanced around to make sure there were no teachers in the area before lighting one up.
Immediately, it had the calming effect he had been seeking and as he let out the smoke he'd inhaled, he let out a long deep sigh to carry it. He really did hate smoking, and if his mom ever caught him doing it he would be dead meat. But, sometimes...he just felt like he needed to.

Pulling his backpack around behind him, Patrick situated it perfectly so that, when he laid back, his head rested against it. It wasn't comfortable, by any means; his math books and English were as much of a bitch to lay on as they were to read. He didn't care, though. He was skipping class and relaxing and pulling drags from his medicinal cigarette, and for a little while, life was suspended. He wasn't a fool; he knew that life hadn't actually stopped for his sake. But as long as it felt like someone had hit the 'pause' button, then he was okay. He could think now, and he did just that as he relaxed, crossing his feet at the ankles, and watched the clouds roll by overhead.

- Your personality seems completely hinged on his childhood. While it’s important to know who a person is because of their past, it’s also important to consider who they are despite it
- We need to see more negative aspects to his personality
- Your first two personality points need more detail, we really need a full paragraph
Other than that, everything is good!
