▷ the basics ▶ CANON: Queer as Folk ▶ AGE: 31 ▶ BIRTHDAY: 1971 ▶ IN DARROW SINCE: September 2013 ▶ RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: Raised a Catholic, Brian's relationship with religion is complicated and torrid. For him, the church represents everything he hates-- A devout mother, who never wanted him, never understood him, and never approved of him. A world that has shunned him, sees him as an abomination, a mistake. The rigid, oppression of the "straight", conservative, moral majority. In adulthood, he is outspokenly unaffiliated with Catholicism, or with religion in general. ▶ SEXUALITY: Brian is loudly, proudly, in your fucking face queer. He likes cock. A lot. ▶ RELATIONSHIP STATUS: in an open relationship with Max Carrigan ▶ MBTI: ENTJ: The Executive ▶ CURRENT ADDRESS: Penthouse apartment on Park Avenue ▶ DRIVES: black 2014 Jeep Wrangler ▶ OCCUPATION: Creative Director for one of Darrow's premier ad agencies, Brigham & Johnson. ▶ CURRENTLY: Busy with work. A partnership with the agency in his sights. Raising his son, who turns one in February. Navigating whatever the fuck is going on with Max.

▷ the more you know ▶ SIGHT: Tall and imposing, Brian Kinney is 6'2", slim and fit, with a penchant for expensive, designer clothes. He moves with an easy confidence and languid grace, taking up more room than he needs to, filling up whatever space he's in just by being there. Brian is magnetic, drawing people in without ever letting them get close enough, with just a look. » DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS: Brian has no visible scars, but tall and broad shouldered, with intense eyes and a quick and playful grin, he has a face and body that people tend to remember. He's always clean shaven and appears well-groomed, even when he's dressed down. He spends a lot of money on his hair, and on his skin care regimen, harboring a not-so-secret fear of aging. Really, Brian's defining characteristic is his sex appeal. He was a legend in the gay community, back home, someone that everyone wanted to fuck, just to see if he lived up to the hype. His friends joked that he could fuck just about any man he wanted, gay or otherwise, and while that's somewhat of an exaggeration, he does seem to have an uncanny ability to turn people on. » STYLE: Just like his grooming regimen, Brian spends a lot of money on his clothes. He does keep up with trends, somewhat, and he's always fashion forward, but he usually sticks with the basics. He knows how to wear a suit, and he prefers high-end labels. When dressed down, he wears a lot of short-sleeved button-downs and sleeveless tanks, usually in dark colors or black. His clothes are never flashy, always tasteful, though he has been known to make a bizarre fashion choice or two (think sleeveless v-neck sweaters, big fur collars and monochrome bluejeans from head to foot). He prefers relaxed-fit, but because he is somewhat attuned to trends, he does own a pair or two of skinny jeans. He has a leather motorcycle jacket he's pretty fond of, but in cold weather, he'll also wear classic wool overcoats with the collar popped. Designer sunglasses, scarves, leather gloves, not to mention the shoes... Brian's a bit of a style whore. All that said, there's one timeless piece, he can almost always be seen wearing: A cowrie shell bracelet, tied with black leather cord. If you ask him where it came from, he'll most likely shrug and move on. ▶ SOUND: Though Brian has spent nearly his entire life in Pittsburgh, Brian doesn't have much of an accent to speak of. His voice is deep, but not booming, and generally, he keeps his voice pitched to an intimate volume. When he speaks, he expects you to listen, so he's not going to raise his voice to be heard. That said, Brian is prone to outbursts of anger, and it's not unusual for him to go on shouting tirades. But more often, he speaks in a low, almost flatly toned rumble, usually with a pretty heavy hint of sarcasm. Like the rest of him, there's something magnetic about his voice. ▶ SMELL: While Brian spends a lot of money on skin care, he doesn't use heavily perfumed products. He sticks with things that have mildly spicy, sometimes woodsy scents. Lately, he's fairly fond of Tom Ford's Oud Wood line, but he uses it sparingly. Brian smokes a lot of cigarettes and drinks a lot of coffee, and he's often chewing mint gum, so those factor prominently, as well. Still, he takes a lot of care with hygiene, so mostly, he smells clean and masculine. For pups with particularly sensitive noses: Brian's pheromones are off the fucking charts. The man smells like sex. He's probably had sex recently, or is on the prowl. ▶ TOUCH: ▶ DEMEANOR: ▶ INFORMATION FOR PSYCHICS AND OTHER MAGIC USERS: » ▶ MAGICAL ABILITIES: ▶ MEDICAL INFORMATION: ▶ GOD-MODDING: ▶ OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE:
