...appearance*
physical...[/b][/size] Isaac is an even six feet tall, and muscular. He's sturdy, like a lobster. He's got some occasionally rumpled brown hair and these piercing blue eyes. His eyes can tend to be mischievous, and he can appear to have a nearly permanent smirk on his face.
clothing style...[/b][/size] He normally dresses pretty neatly. He can be caught wearing sweats in his apartment on the weekends. If you come calling, that is.
defining traits...[/b][/size] anything else about your character’s appearance that makes them stand out? do they have a special birthmark, tattoo, accent, aura? anything you didn’t cover about your character in the other two sections that you think you should mention, put it here.[/blockquote]
...personal info*
personality...[/b][/size]
Isaac can be quite a fun guy. It depends on who you are, though. If he believes you to be intolerably silly, he probably won’t be able to spend extended periods of time with you. Isaac has this great love of intelligence, you see, and despite the fact that everyone needs to let loose occasionally and be goofy, he does not see a need for a person to be silly by default. If there is no substance, then in place of speech, Isaac may as well be hearing the air let out of a balloon.
Onto the fun part. Isaac has a wonderful sense of humor. He is dreadfully ironic and that can lead into a mocking sarcasm very quickly. He loves to tease people and irritate them, just to see them riled up. He doesn’t normally go too far, of course. Just far enough to get them steamed up. In spite of this, he’s actually a very loyal friend and a stable sort of person. Quite stubborn too, as you might imagine. He sees the world his way and no other.
Isaac also has a bit of instability to him. Everyone has their contradictions, yes? His is just this. He is organized to a fault, logical and witty, but he has a knack for not doing the things he’s supposed to do. Sometimes, it’s forgetfulness. Other times, it’s mere procrastination. And still other times it is just because he doesn’t feel like doing it and it annoys the people around him.
And yet, there is another flaw with this young man. He has never been in love. Some may say “Lucky him!” and he would readily agree. His family, in particular, his sisters, have themselves worried sick. Unfortunately, it is precisely why he does not pursue any young lady. After all the times his sisters had set him up, or the times when he had watched their hearts get broken by other young men, he had developed an opinion. Love was foolish. That’s not to say that he didn’t believe in love. He certainly did. After all, his parents loved each other dearly. But any sort of artificial – superficial – love, was just another stupid thing to scoff at. Why even try? He was certain that love could not be pushed or prodded. You couldn’t coax love or grow to love. Isaac believed that when you fell in love, it would be instant.
And wouldn’t that opinion just make him the silliest one of all?
life until now...[/b][/size]
Isaac was born to Jeff and Lisa Brennan on the first of November, 1988. He was soon sandwiched between two sisters. For most of his life, he was able to shine by merely being the only boy of the family. He played sports well, excelled academically and was a pretty popular kid. He consistently returned home, however, and was surrounded by pink and girly things and mindless boy band posters and lyrics and OH, someday he was going to punch that smile right off of Nick Carters stupid baby face!
Being the only son of a lawyer and a nurse didn’t leave a lot of time for quality time. Their most frequent babysitter, much to the girls chagrin, was Great-Uncle Marcus. The sixty something war vet had a bad leg and a sailor’s mouth. Isaac was Marcus’ favorite from the get-go and nothing was really done to hide this. Marcus wasn’t shy about playing favorites, despite his nieces complaining about hurting their feelings. He took Isaac to do all the things he couldn’t do with his sisters, like fishing, hunting and drinking coffee (because he could get told on, since Mom wasn’t fond of Isaac and caffeine). Marcus would give advice and pearls of wisdom to Isaac and the boy soaked it all in like oxygen.
“Whatever happens to you, be honest, tell the truth, even if they do look at you funny. They will. But what you gotta understand, Son, is that almost all of those people are full of shit. And they're scared of people like you, because those bullshitters know that you're smarter than all of them.”
Eventually, though, Marcus’ visits became less frequent. He refused to be put into a nursing home. It wasn’t long before Marcus died in his sleep when he was seventy-five, just about a month after Isaac’s twentieth birthday. The family was astonished to find that, according to Marcus’ will, Isaac owned every penny of his wealth. He wasn’t excessively rich by any means, but Isaac was free to live comfortably for a few years.
the present...[/b][/size] So Isaac picked up and moved to New York. He bought a run-down shop and resolved to fix it up and make it into the type of coffee shop that Uncle Marcus would have loved and laughed about.
Finally the renovations are complete and “Mug Shots” is ready for the public. Isaac spent a couple years taking online classes and has a degree in business. He has a few employees, all young men, and is currently living in the flat above his café. And he happens to be across from a certain tea shop, which is owned by a certain girl who rather gets on Isaac’s nerves.

...literature*
title... Pride and Prejudice
backstory...Mr. Bennet is basically the best character ever, because I can totally tell when he's being ironic and it's hilarious. He's married to this lady who was very pretty back in the day, and they have 5 daughters, but now his wife has turned into a crazy who wants to marry all the girls off and Mr. Bennet doesn't really have the time or patience to worry about it all. He loves his family, mostly Elizabeth, because she's the clever one, but he doesn't seem to worry about the future at all, because he doesn't save money or keep an impressive dowry for his girls.
