play by: Victor Webster
likes: 1. Women: Brennan’s a big flirt and he’s always on the lookout for his soul mate. 2. Martial arts: it helps him stay in shape and the discipline it required kept him out of trouble when he was younger. 3. Learning new things: he’s always had a passion for learning and he’s always willing to tackle something new. 4. Reading: he views this as a good way to relax and there’s nothing he likes more than to stretch out with a good book. 5. Animals: he’s a big softy when it comes to the four-legged species, especially dogs.
dislikes: 1. Liars/fakes: with Brennan, what you see is what you get and he expects the same courtesy from others. 2. Cauliflower: he thinks it’s disgusting. 3. Laziness/cheating: there’s just no excuse for it and he has no tolerance for it. 4. Misuse of the martial arts: it’s a discipline that he takes seriously and can’t stand it when it’s used to hurt others. 5. Being a werewolf: he doesn’t like the idea of hurting people and he knows that he has no control over himself when he turns, so yeah, he doesn’t like that side of him.
strengths: 1. Open-minded: even if something sounds completely out there, he doesn’t disregard it unless he’s given a reason to. After all, he hadn’t thought werewolves were real until he triggered his curse. 2. Good planner: he’s able to look at things from different angles and plan or make decisions accordingly. This has also helped him out of some tight spots in the past. 3. Trustworthy: he does what he says and his word is his bond. 4. Good fighter: his Martial Arts training gives him an advantage in fights, though he only uses it in defense. 5. Quick learner: goes with his love of learning, and he can pick up a lot of things fairly easily, though there are some things that take a longer time than others.
weaknesses: 1. Wolfsbane: it’s the werewolf form of Vervain, meaning that it can weaken and kill him so of course he doesn’t like it. 2. Girls: he’s a healthy male and his head can be turned by a pretty face. 3. Temper: even before he triggered the curse, certain things made him explode and when that happened, watch out. 4. Chocolate ice cream: even though he usually eats pretty healthy, this is his one downfall. 5. His family and friends: they mean more to him than anything in the world and can be used against him.
fears: 1. Hurting people: he has no control over himself once he’s turned and he fears that one day he’ll escape and hurt someone. 2. Claustrophobic: he accidentally got locked into a pantry when he was younger and since then he’s been terrified of small, dark places.
secrets: He's triggered his family's werewolf curse.
personality:
Brennan is best described as lover and a semi-fighter. He can almost always be seen flirting with someone, though if a woman displays no interest in him, he'll drop the issue, and he's not afraid of standing up for what he believes in, only resorting to physical force if it's absolutely necessary, though he'll exhaust all other options first.
When it comes to his family and friends, he's extremely protective of them and will do anything to help them out or protect them. Though for the most part level-headed, there have been instances where's he gotten hot under the collar and lashed out someone, displaying his temper. However, these occurrences are few and far in between.

history:
Brennan was born in Mystic Falls Community Hospital to Lauren and Gabriel Ashlock on February 7, 1983. His childhood was pretty typical: playing with friends, doing his chores, and going to school. Even though he's the only child, he was in no way spoiled and was taught to be respectful to his parents and other authority figures. Growing up in Mystic Falls, he became very familiar with the old tales about vampires even though his family wasn't part of the Founding Families.
When he was about eight-years old, he and his parents were visiting some relatives in Richmond at his Uncle Peter's for a reunion and was getting a snack out of the walk-in pantry when he was accidentally locked in and wasn't found until half an hour later, leaving him with an intense fear of small, closed spaces.
After this incident, nothing more eventful happened, and Brennan remained his normal, happy self as he continued play with his friends, go to school, etc. However, this tranquility would only last until he was thirteen, when his body would start going through the normal teenage changes and he started rebelling against their rules, letting his grades drop, and getting into fights with other kids, which worried his parents. His attitude would continue for several months and were even thinking of sending him away to a school for troubled teens when his uncle Peter suggested letting Brennan stay with him for a while. Unsure of what to do, but not wanting to have to send Brennan off to the school, they agreed to Peter suggestion. While living with his uncle, Brennan was enrolled in a Martial Arts class as a way to keep him out of trouble, and the boy found that he really enjoyed the lessons.
After this, Brennan calmed down for the most part and he eventually went back to live with his parents, still keeping up his Martial Arts as well as reapplying himself to his schoolwork and attempting to control his temper more often, though this didn't always work. In the following years, Brennan would become even more passionate about books and after high school, went to college to earn a degree as a librarian.
It would be shortly after he graduated college that things would take a strange and tragic turn for Brennan. While he was at work, he would get into an argument with a coworker that turned physical, though he repeatedly tried to defuse the situation. However, the other man would have none of it and continually came after him until Brennan was forced to defend himself, resulting in the man's death. Immediately after this, a searing pain ripped through his body, and on the next full moon, he found himself changing into a wolf, though the rest of the night was a blur. When he awoke the next morning, he discovered that he was naked in an alley. He then called a friend who brought him some clothes, though he lied about what really happened, saying that he had gotten drunk and lost.
After this, Brennan went home and researched his family's journals and learned that the Ashlocks' had a terrible secret: they carried a gene that allowed them to turn into werewolves and this was triggered by a death at their hands. Shaken by this discovery as well as the fact that he had killed someone, Brennan would withdraw from his family and friends, determined to make sure that he was never in a position to hurt anyone he cared about.
This continued until he graduated college and since then he's done his best to keep his secret from everybody, including his family. Recently, he's heard about a town called Mystic Falls which seems to have legends and lore about Supernatural creatures. Intrigued, he's arrived in town to see what's fact and what's fiction, as well as to see if there's a way to reverse what's happened to him.

Brennan panted as he ran through the forest. He had to get out somewhere safe and he had to get there fast. There was a full moon out tonight and he knew that he was about to turn. But where could he go? He wasn't familiar with this area. Man, I almost wish I hadn't moved, he thought to himself. In the last place he had been, he had known the layout of the forest quite well and knew all the shortcuts he needed to take to get to a secluded spot quickly. But this place---well, he was utterly lost.
A sliver of light broke into his thoughts and he looked up in alarm. The clouds were moving and the moon was no longer covered! This is bad! This is very bad! he thought to himself as he quickened his pace. He had run out of time. Any minute now, he'd feel the start of his worst nightmare. Silently, he cursed the fact that he didn't know the area. If he did, he wouldn't have this problem. Then, a wave of pain coursed through his body and he dropped to his knees, and wished fervently that the change would go quickly this time, though deep down he knew it wouldn't...
