Word Count: 267
Rating: PG
Original/Fandom: Original (Cliffton)
Your Character: Brendan
Pairings (if any): We don't need no stinkin' pairings!
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con/etc): Not really?
Summary: Meet Brendan.
Brendan is only 18 years old, and already he's given up on his dream. Blackballed from the military due to his brother Kalen's terrorist acts, he's forced to find a new path. Though he's chosen to join Kalen and his friends on a quest to stop the war he once hoped to fight, he feels out of place among the rest of the group.
Not that Brendan's felt truly comfortable around Kalen in a long time. As children, they were close, but they've drifted apart. Kalen is smarter, good at everything, and better-liked at school. Brendan tries not to be jealous, but the fact that Kalen doesn't value the popularity Brendan wishes he had makes it even harder.
Regardless of his feelings, Brendan is loyal to a fault. When he catches Kalen sneaking out to meet anti-war subversives, Brendan keeps his secret without question. Even so, Kalen never shares his plans. Brendan knows Kalen's lack of trust is due to his temper. All his life, he's had moments where he's so consumed by rage he loses all control. Brendan has no doubt he could kill during one of these episodes. And Kalen knows it.
It's easy to see Brendan as a monster, a weapon. Inside, though, he's a caring person, willing to forgive almost any wrong. The anger that causes people to fear him isn't even his fault. Brendan doesn't know it yet, but he's the result of a failed genetic engineering experiment. Perhaps if he can find a way to control it, he'll be free to pursue a life of his own, out of Kalen's shadow.
