Appearance Details
Brent inherited his father's Filipino skin color and looks the most like his father than his twin brother does. In addition to that, he's quite tall and he does appear to be lanky to those not directly next to him, but something one might be able to tell when they are mere inches away from him is just how much of a beefcake Brent Walsh really is. With broad shoulders and a body befitting of someone who exercises as much as he can (as well as engaging in several other physical activities), they might see someone incredibly fit.
Standing at 6'3 and weighing just on the cusp of 200lbs, he is an imposing man, which to those who haven't seen him since high school, might see what he is now as a far cry to how he looked in high school. As someone who inherited his father's tone, he inherited his mother's hazel eyes and naturally wavy hair. There is no doubt about that. When gazing into his eyes, they ooze a honey sweetness that matches his spirit.
He shops frequently at beach shops and purchases clothes that might be best suited for his outdoorsy activities. Though, he also shops at Target and Wal-Mart, purchasing comfortable clothes for someone who is a little larger than the average beefcake bear. this usually results in shirts with funny quotes/designs on them, shorts and jeans, open-toed sandals, and sneakers of various makes. He doesn't spend a lot on clothes but he does spend enough to make sure he doesn't run out of clean clothes to wear. Most of his money ends up going to organic food and the like, anyway.

Right off the bat, Brent comes off as a very strong personality. His energy levels are off the roof and he has a glow about him that makes those around him unable to not smile. He's one of those guys who can befriend just about anyone he comes into contact with. It's not necessarily because they are influenced by his positive vibes but he usually engages in conversation and just lets his natural charm do the rest, but this isn't without some backlash. He's positive, yes; and he definitely will make you smile and laugh, but something to know about Brent Walsh is sometimes he might come across a little too strong. It's unintentional but the fact remains he usually asserts himself into situations that maybe he's not welcome in. Or maybe there's a private conversation happening between a few people and he injects himself: this could lead to him being ignored.
And this is where the doubts come out. See, he's full of energy, he's charasmatic, and full of cinnamon roll sweetness but he also is effected intensely by whatever reaction he gets in return. If it's welcoming, he'll continue as he was a minute ago, but if rejected, he retreats to a bubble and might even isolate himself for several hours; and here is where he falls into potential depression. That doesn't necessarily mean he's clinically depressed but he goes through moods, but he can bounce back from them given the right, proper trigger that gets him out of his funk. And then it's back to being the spontaneous, adventure-loving, lovable idiot that Brent Walsh has been known to be all his life.
Brent, as a friend, is probably the best you'll have cause he's always there for his friends. As a lover, he's attentive and daring. His impulsive and spontaneous nature hints that he's adventurous in all the ways that matter but also it means you'll never be bored around him. He is a good time, no alcohol required (though it'll make nights with him a lot more entertaining). He can also act a little crazy. Sometimes this might be too much for some, but hell be damned if a party happened without the Brent Walsh energy present.
Basically what all this means is Brent is a simple guy who just wants to be loved and adored by his friends just as he loves and adores them. There's not much more to say other than that!
Upbringing Synopsis
The life that Brent had, by all accounts of it, wasn't a bad one. He lived in a home owned by wonderful people and he went to a fancy private school from the time that he was old enough until he graduated. His parents did what they could. Even though they weren't the wealthiest and couldn't give him everything that his classmates did, for all intents and purposes, Brent Walsh had a happy childhood. Along with him and his twin brother, Carlos, the Santiago-Walsh residence wasn't a horrible place to live.
Both of his parents -- Francisco Louis Santiago and Marie Ann Walsh -- were a detective with the Palm Beach Police Department. His father worked in vice and his mother was a rising detective in the Special Victims Unit. Their jobs meant they weren't around as often as they wanted to be, but with his brother, Brent didn't complain much. Truth be told, he was honestly happy. He was able to attend the prestigious King's Academy.
As the years went on, it became increasingly obvious to everyone that the time his parents devoted to their job so that their boys could attend a good school was taking its toll on the entire family. Carlos began to experiment with drugs by the time he was fourteen, their parents were fighting a lot more frequently than they weren't, and Brent started to gain weight -- like a lot of weight. When Carlos went in the opposite direction, getting skinnier almost to the bone, Brent developed a lot of fat and was, at one point, three-hundred pounds at just fourteen. He didn't seem to be unhappy, but being a boy of color, he was teased horrendously and not only because of the color of his skin. Brent felt like he was an outcast during his 7th-8th-grade years because of the constant remarks made about his weight.
And that's when he made the conscious effort to sign up for football. Two years at the weight brought him slowly out of being prime target practice for the bullies at his school and he was the energetic, happy kid that he always has been. From wrestling to football, Brent became as active as he could; and through his increased activity came the natural allure of friends and other such company. Though he was still big, by the time he was fifteen, a new side of Brent Walsh was seen: the social butterfly side of him. Whether it was him being drawn to others or them being drawn to him, there was no denying he was no longer the loner kid that was teased -- he was the defensive lineman for the King's Knight. He also wrestled from time to time.
As great as all this was, when high school ended, all of the familiarity that came with it sort of just faded away. The friends he really bonded with went off to do their own thing, the girl that he went to prom with got into her favorite college, and Brent stayed in Palm Beach. He never moved away to some college because the one that he attended was just an hour's drive from his family home. For a few years, he did attend the University of Miami with the intention of getting a degree in finance. And sure he even played some college ball, but despite all of this, despite keeping up with his health and slimming down even more in college, Brent was missing something in his life. He knew he couldn't find that at college, so after the second semester of his second year at UM, he dropped out and moved back home.
But that didn't mean he wasted his time. Though he was at home, Brent got a job working at the Toyota car dealership near him. He figured it would be temporary until he figured out what he wanted to do with his life, but like the majority of men in this country, he never got out of his job. If he was to be perfectly honest with himself, he loved his job. He had a natural chemistry, so that made selling cars easy and he wasn't bad on the eyes either, which was the main part of the reason his female boss at the time kept him around. But all of that aside, he loved his job. It was the purpose that was missing: doing something other than reading textbooks and looking at graphs. Sure a degree would have been nice, but by the time he made manager and his boss, who sold the dealership to him, effectively making him the boss, he was making enough money to make him happy; and in the end, that's what life was about: being happy and not needing any more than what you already have.
Brent was okay with that and come the reunion, he wasn't going to let all of the success get to him. Besides! He's gonna party like it's 2009! As the kids say: turn down for what!?
