DISLIKES: School, anything resembling work, guys who hit on Savannah and Jeremy Pitt.
STRENGTHS: He's very charming and has a great sense of humor. He's got a knack for getting into trouble, but an equal knack for talking his way out of it in most cases. Though he hates his father, he's not afraid to throw around the family name if it'll get him what he wants.
WEAKNESSES: He has no ambition at all, save to have fun and enjoy his youth for as long as he can. He barely pays attention in class and that's when he bothers to go, though he does seem to understand where to draw the line just enough to avoid getting into major trouble. He's arrogant and he has a quick temper.
DETAILED PERSONALITY:
There are really two Bryant's - it all depends on who you are and what you mean to him. Those he is close to, loves and feels protective towards often see a very different side than the rest of the world.
To everyone else - the people he dislikes, the people he just doesn't know well, Bry is a rich, arrogant asshole. He's snobby. He's judgmental. He's got a stick of his ass the size of the Grand Canyon. He's not remotely afraid to tell these people they're not good enough for him and he doesn't even remotely give a shit what they think of him.
If you happen to be someone he genuinely cares about, though, Bryant can seem to have a completely different personality. He's protective, responsible, loving, confident. He'll do anything for the people he loves and he can actually be really sweet if you're someone he cares about.
That's not to say Bry doesn't have a temper, of course. He definitely has one of those, though some people seem to be better at setting it off than others. Bryant actually kind of enjoys fighting, though. He gets a secret little thrill from it. In terms of romance, he could never be truly happy with someone who was unwilling to piss him off from time to time.
Bryant is loyal to a fault when it comes to his family. He places their needs above his own, often sacrificing what he wants both to please his parents and to protect his siblings, to give them the choices he doesn't feel he has in life. Taking over for his father is the last thing Bryant wants, but his sense of duty to the family and his wish to keep his younger siblings from being pushed to such a thing are what will drive him to acquiesce.
Bryant might come off as lazy, but, really, he just doesn't much see the point of studying more than he has to. As far as he is concerned, the classes he has now won't really prepare him for life in the real world and he'd rather just goof off and enjoy his youth while he can.
Bryant also feels a strong sense of loyalty to his friends, especially those he feels closest to. He's not exactly the type to jump into action, but he will definitely bend over backwards to help a friend in need. This loyalty can also often lend to taking a friends side without knowing all the facts. If he feels a friend is being wrong, he will support him or her, regardless of if they are actually right or wrong.
Something not a lot of people see is that Bry is actually quite sentimental. Family and loved ones come first with him and though he presents a casual and friendly exterior to most of the world, he's known to get a bit emotional or sentimental around those he cares about.
HISTORY:
Bryant Dillon Sawyer is the oldest of the four children born to Tony and Marilla Sawyer. He had a relatively happy childhood, for the most part. His family was more than well-off enough to buy him and his siblings their every desire. He went to the best schools, had plenty of friends from similar backgrounds and was able to get away with a lot of things children from lesser backgrounds wouldn't be able to.
His one complaint - one he never voiced aloud - has been that his future was all planned out for him. He was going to work for his father once he finished his schooling and there was no getting around it. Bryant wasn't sure what he wanted to do with him life, but he certainly didn't want to be forced into a life he hadn't chosen for himself. He rebelled in his own way, slacking off and getting into trouble here or there. He wasn't a delinquent or anything. He just figures he should have fun while he could and it wasn't like Daddy's money hasn't been there anytime he needed it.
From the time he was little, Bryant's best friend was Savannah White. Their families ran in the same social circles and what started out as convenient play dates as toddlers turned into a lifelong friendship. The pair of them have been virtually inseparable and that's something that didn't change when they entered puberty.
What did change was that they discovered kissing and started to realize their feelings for one another ran far deeper than friendship. It probably seemed inevitable to most people that Bry and Savannah would end up dating and they found themselves doing just that as they reached junior high. The relationship has been far from a smooth one, of course. Bryant and Savannah bicker a lot. They fight, they "break up." They always get back together, though. No matter how much they fight, Bryant knows that Savannah is the only girl for him.
