Brian Gutierrez
Appearance: Muscular build. brown skin with dark brown hair. brown eyes. Crooked nose, crooked smile.
Easily annoyed, often impatient. Brian had decided long ago it's best if he avoids everyone, since he's angry at the world for no particular reason.
Formerly a member of the wasteland pirates, Brian worked on vehicle maintenance, never getting directly involved with the piracy and other crimes. Things get serious when his girlfriend gets pregnant and eventually decides to keep the baby.
All is well because they end up loving Oliver, but after the loss of the mother and a terrible turn of events, Brian wants to take better care of Oliver by leaving the city of Recom and taking home in Evelow, a large city with plenty of opportunities and care for him.
Likes: music, taking time off from everything, flannel, writing.
Dislikes: people who boss him around, traffic, slow people, long lines, and liars.
Favorite Color: Dark Red.
Fear: If everyone in his life were to conspire against him and realize that he’s undeserving of them. On another hand, he also doesn’t like clowns or super wide smiles. Some types of laughs might make him nervous too.
Brian is a guitarist and drummer. He once had plans to join a band and had offers, but with Oliver and traveling, it was never in his time and no longer had his full attention. He sometimes regret not devoting enough time to having fun when he was younger.

Relationships
- Orisa - Roommate. They met through working the same factory shifts and Orisa has been his closest friend since moving into the city. She's honest on how dependable she is and Brian really appreciates that. He saves her the sob stories because he knows it's too much to hear.
- Jake - friend. they have gotten to be pretty close, Brian doesn't even mind Jake's casual flirts towards him. Oddly enough they've come to each other for advice.
- Morgan - Ex-friend. Both former members of the Wastelanders, Brian immediately distrusted Morgan after her spinal transplant that once belonged to their friend Ronnie who died of a work accident. He would rather not see her ever again.
- Cora - Friend. Cora's much open and outgoing than Brian, but he needs friends like that to get some fresh air from keeping to himself for so long. She's crazy supportive of him and Oliver.
- Ian - that one guy who likes to invite himself over to Brian's home. He's very curious about Brian's past and insists he's gonna get Brian on his podcast someday. Something Brian's been trying to avoid for multiple reasons.
