SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

• ISTP! 
• BAINBRIDGE-- or Bridgette, as everyone seems to call him-- is a very, very independent individual who prefers dealing with things rationally and logically. He is driven much more by his head than his heart, and, as such, he's quite good at retaining information and is very intelligent. He has a good mind for plans, numbers, navigation, and direction.
• However, what Bridgette has in rationality, he lacks in his ability to... Consider feelings and say nice things! He's a very honest, very snarky person. THIS MEANS THAT no matter how crude, insensitive, or flat-out CALLOUS his thoughts are, he WILL LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW HE FEELS ABOUT EVERYTHING. This trait becomes even more apparent the closer you get to him. That is, the closer he feels to you, the more likely he will tease you/insult you/what have you! He finds endless entertainment in his best friend who is a dumbfuck! 
• It's hard for him to make friends because of this undesirable trait... But, the friends he makes, he keeps forever. Beneath that facade of cool-headed SARDONICISM, you see, BRIDGETTE IS INCREDIBLY LOYAL, and competent and a hard worker. He's very reliable when things get serious. WHAT A ROCK OF A MANNNN.
• The only thing that seems to phase him/send him into this strange, pseudo-manic, pseudo-OCD state is when his ship, his keys/locks (THEY RELAX HIM;; SEE HISTORY), and his love interest is/has been compromised. 
• ....Alcohol makes the above worse.. He's a saddd drunk.

ABILITIES.

• He build his own ship from the bottom up. He is THAT good with mechanics! He can also pick locks like a pro, and can navigate the skies in his SLEEP!
• HE'S A. HALF-RETIRED BADASS. HE DOESN'T BEAT PEOPLE UP AS MUCH AS HE USED TO BECAUSE OF HIS PAST. HE TAKES MORE TO BOOKS/HIS SHIP NOWADAYS THAN THE STREETS/FIGHTING. (SEE HISTORY)

PAST

• Bridgette was raised by a certain MRS. MACQUEEN who was and still is a mourning widower. He never knew his father, and never bothered to ask about him because his mom often oscillated between BOUTS OF RAVING ALCOHOLISM, and lucid depression (bad for communication you see). 
• IN EFFECT, BRIDGETTE WAS OFTEN LEFT TO HIS OWN DEVICES AS A CHILD. THIS LEAD TO TWO THINGS: he learned how to take care of himself by the age of 6... and, he fiddled around with locks and read a lot to keep busy/out of the way.
• He didn't die/starve to death because their neighbor had a crush on his mom!!! And often brought over food/tended the place (kind of).
• HE MADE FRIENDS WITH DUMBFUCK DYE UPON ENROLLMENT IN SCHOOL. And then this Kingsley who forced herself into their little group...
• And then Bridgette got out of his shell and lived a little more ENCOURAGED BY HIS NEW FOUND FRANDS. 
• They grew up together all badass and beating people up and drinking and shits!!!
• And then eventually Bridgette developed a crush on Kingsley.... But Kingsley runs off with SOMEONE ELSE.
• ...UNKNOWINGLY BREAKING BRIDGETTE'S HEARRTTTT.
• Later that week, Bridgette gets into a fight, but was unable to defend himself and lost. At that moment, he realized that his edge was gone (DUE TO KINGSLEY), and retreated back to his old lock-fiddling, book-reading ways.
• He spent that time afterwards building his very own ship--THE GASPING BEAUTY-- and graduating top of his class and TRYING TO MEND HIS BROKENNN HAARTTTtt.
• Yeah.

RELATIONSHIPS

• DYE::  is his dumbfuck bestfriend!!! They're really really close because they were childhood friends!!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE GAY FOR EACH OTHER THOUGH THEY ARE NOT. 
  
  THEY JUST SPEND A LOT OF TIME DRINKING AND HALF-NAKED TOGETHER...
  
  ANYWAYS. Dye lives on Bridgette's ship and provides income for the both of them in return for the room and boarding. 
• BIYU: ONE DAY DYE BRINGS HOME A LITTLE ASIAN GIRL BY THE NAME OF BIYU... being INCREDIBLY TENTATIVE TOWARDS NEW PASSENGERS ABOARD HIS BELOVED SHIP he at first told dye to send her back. but then she charmed him w/ her kawaii-desu and now they have a big bro-little sis relationship!!
  
  AKA HE BEATS UP DYE WHEN HE REALIZES THAT HE HAS PEDO EYES FOR HER. 
• KING: STILL HAS FEELINGS FOR KING. though nowadays they act tsundere pride-issues toward each other.
  
  BECAUSE KING IS MANRIER THAN HE IS THOUGH SHE USUALLY WINS.
  
  SEKRITLY SHE WISHES HE STILL HAS THAT BACKBONE FIGHTING EDGE HE DID WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER (see history). little does she kno when she broke his heart, she took the edge with her. 
• Lir: He meets her at a nearby town and they develop a little something-something. But, before they could exchange contact information, Dye does something retarded, and they need to leave town RIGHT AWAY!
  
   As it'd turn out, however, Lir is after Biyu. So, they meet again on The Gasping Beauty. They do that little kawaii ":0" at each other, before Dye rips through the scene and throws Lir off the ship.
  
  Bridgette beats him up for that, and slowly gets over King and falls for Lir... When she comes back..... yeah.... LKSDHLKGJL
• GHOST: He didn't believe in ghosts, until Dye's ex decides to stalk them down and live on the ship. Because that ex is mysterious and looks pretty fucking psycho and never talks, he believes his ship is haunted. He often has very serious business exorcisms, chasing after the ghost. Dye just thinks he's a paranoid fuck and doesn't realize his ex is on the ship!

OTHER SHIT

• NAMED HIS SHIP THE GASPING BEAUTY B/C MEN SUCK AT NAMING THINGS.
  
• HIS FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF ALCOHOLISM
• HE CHANGES THE LOCKS TO HIS SHIP EVERY OTHER DAY.
• His room on the Gasping Beauty is the biggest and has a security system that involves a bucket of gasoline, a hairtrigger wire, and a match. He also has about 20 locks to the door. The actual room is very dark, and filled with many books and springs and gears. 

Creator Insight:

• BRIDGETTE IS FUN LMAO. BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY KINDA MANLY I GUESS?  YEAH. I also love how neurotic he gets with his locks, and his depression amuses me.
