Role: Boy 5
Personality: Briton has a bit of a problem with his emotions. While small and delicate and seeming like the type who would break down and cry at any given moment, he actually holds very few emotional reactions at all, acting more like a computer on the outside; spouting facts and not a single deep emotion. Really, he just struggles to get his internal emotions out onto the surface, and there is a huge lag between what he is feeling and what he conveys. He just doesn't understand his own emotions, and tries to look past them rather than try to deal with them. This doesn't mean he doesn't break down every once in a while, but he manages to hold back his reactions against quite a lot of stimuli, which goes to show that he isn't quite as weak as others think he is. In a way, it does go to show how weak he emotional skills are, and his comprehension of how other people think and feel. While he is intelligent, he just doesn't get it, and has trouble coming to terms with his feelings, even if he has completely broken down into sobbing fits.
Your Details: Like what had been the case with many of his previous lives, Briton was born weak; a small, underdeveloped body with weak limbs and little going for him as far as being able to protect himself or take care of himself. And as well, corresponding with all of his lives, he was a brilliant as ever. His intelligence was always through the roof, and this time was no different. With a near-perfect memory and fast-learning, he easily made it to the top of his class and by the time high school rolled around, was in all AP classes, as well as participating in the AV club, something that is more common now in his later lives, as in his earlier lives, he was prone to being a book worm, and sticking to the library all day. Now, he gets most of his enjoyment from video games and hacking illegally into guarded files and computer systems. His bedroom has been cramped with computers and wires and gaming consoles for quite some time, and he almost seems to hoard the stuff in that small mess he calls a room.
The youngest of two, living in the upstairs apartment of a two story, white building on the lesser side of the town, home doesn't seem as though there is anything to complain about, and he never does, really. His mother and father stay out of his business, traveling for work for months on end. Their homecomings are short, and while they make plenty of money, that money is more so spent on their hotel rooms and their affairs, so they have never bothered with a house. Briton didn't care so much about being told to stay out of their business. He just hated the yelling and shouting whenever his parents occupied the same space. His brother, though a bit of a torment himself, often took the blunt of their behavior on himself to shield Briton as much as he could, even though he was only a few years older himself. Liam, his brother, lives on the campus of his college, and much like their parents, isn't normally home anymore. He checks in much more often than they do, of course, and Briton finds himself receiving more texts than he wants from the guy, most of which being either teasing, or obscenely over-protective big brother business. In the end though, Briton mostly lives alone, and with no one to hound him about responsibilities, and not caring about them in the first place, he often spends time doing what he wants rather than what he should do.
School, while simple and easy to him, serving not a single mental challenge, just passes by time. Still, he almost never wants to go. Being weak, fragile, and a total geek, he gets harassed on a daily basis by his peers. Whether it just be insults, some physical violence, or sexual harassment, the school day is often pure hell. Sure, his friends who know about the bullying will stop it as much as they can, but there are still classes where they can't protect him, and going home with a bruise or two from getting grabbed in the locker room or getting slammed into a locker is hardly rare. The sexual harassment, on the other hand, he hasn't informed any of his friends about, and doesn't want to bring it up.

Sexual Orientation: Homosexual, though he hasn't yet shared this fact with any of his friends as of yet.
Crush: "I... Well I... Uh..... Look, it's no big deal. I'm not making any moves on him or anything, so it's not like anyone has to know, okay?" Oz (Oscar), though as of now, the crush is completely secretive, especially seeing as Briton still hasn't even informed his friends of his sexuality yet.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: "Uh, no....."
Other: Nothing too important.
Height: Five feet four inches, give or take about half an inch.
Build: Scrawny and meek, he appears very delicate and fragile.
Looks: Scrawny and not even making the cut of "average height," he has an awkward body and it's a wonder how he stands on his own. He has a sweet, young-looking face with a light jawline but a strong chin. His features are soft, framed by thick, dyed hair at a medium length, which tends to just get brushed back and out of the way of his face more often than not. Thought the color is naturally a dark, rich brown, his hair has been dyed bleach blonde, and only his routes and the under layer of his hair remain the color that they originated. His eyes are a bright green in color, framed by a thick black lash that makes the color stand out even more. They hold a slightly rounded shape, and are large and sweet-looking. His full lips are reddish slightly in tint on a regular basis, making them somewhat more noticeable against his pale skin tone. His skin seems relatively regular, without too many problems about bad skin, although he has some very dark freckles scattered here and there. His freckles don't cover his skin, though, but many of them are pretty noticeable, and there are a few on his face. He has reading glasses, but doesn't care to use them unless he's planning on doing a lot of reading, or working on small parts, otherwise, he just strains his eyes. His clothing style varies, but despite his love for nice clothes, he often wears very plain ones, since he doesn't always want to be bothered with it.
