Biography
Brett was born and raised in Chaps County and has only left the area for sports-related outings. His family has lived in the County for generations, and owns a large farmhouse outside of town.

In elementary school he was viewed by other students as a weird kid, and so, being already active and full of energy, took up sports to gain their approval. He became well liked in middle school, getting involved in clubs and teams and making popular friends. In high school he struggled with classes and often didn't show up at all, but due to his promising athletic potential, the teachers allowed him to pass his classes so that he could graduate and begin his sports career at Chaps County College. He is enrolled as a football player, but also participates in basketball and track.

Due to a head injury that went untreated in early childhood, Brett will occasionally experience lapses of memory during which he will be extremely short-tempered and have trouble identifying familiar places and locations.

Relationships
Although Brett is incredibly popular, many people find him to be a little bit annoying, and as such he has very few true friends.

Peter Zhang
Brett and Peter have been inseparable since Peter moved into town in middle school. The two of them are very at ease with each other and can talk for hours on end about anything. Peter is always there to get Brett out of a sticky situation, although he sometimes becomes frustrated with Brett's shortsightedness, and inability to assess social situations. Peter worries sometimes that Brett takes their friendship for granted, but Brett truly cares about Peter, and is just terrible at expressing it.

Sherry Draper
Brett and Sherry began dating in middle school, due to other children setting them up together. They have been on-again-off-again ever since. While they sometimes enjoy each other's company, it's clear that the two often feel uncomfortable around each other and their interactions are strained. They argue often and never show physical affection beyond hand holding. Despite this, the two are known to make big romantic gestures for one another on birthdays and holidays. Both of them are very afraid of being single, and feel pressured to continue seeing each other.

Zachary Gallo
Being family friends, the two of them grew up together and were very close all the way up to middle school. When Brett began to make more friends and get on the good side of his teachers, Zack began to get bitter and let the friendship dissolve. Once Mrs. Gallo passed away, there was no reason for the two of them to spend time together anymore. Zack now despises Brett and avoids him whenever possible. When it isn't possible to avoid him, he makes sure to be as hostile as he can to make Brett understand how he feels. However, Brett doesn't understand why Zack behaves this way, and is still kind to him for the most part, though he will argue back if provoked.

K.J. Zagorski
Zagorski was Brett's coach in high school, and one of Brett's personal heroes. Zagorski is always willing to listen and give advice to his former student, and Brett is usually happy to take it. Brett however doesn't approve of Zagorski's drinking and self destructive habits, and tries to avoid him when other people are around.

Brad McLochlan
Brad and Brett met in high school when the two of them were paired for a school spirit event due to the groups being made in alphabetical order. The two get along very well, and often hung out at each others houses throughout high school. Currently they very rarely get a chance to talk, being in different social circles.
