Brendan looks older than he is. Though he's not sporting a full mustache and goatee combo, his mustache is fuller than most guys his age and he's got a decent looking soul patch below his bottom lip. He usually keeps his hair short and straight. He almost never lets it get long enough to cover even a little bit of the tops of his ears. He's got a lean build on an average, somewhat athletic frame. His fencing and free running keep him in good shape.
He likes to wear jeans or khakis and long sleeve shirts. He usually sticks to t-shirts and polos as far as shirts go. His footwear switches between sneakers, high-tops, and hiking boots depending on his plans or expectations for the day.
Personality:
Brendan is best described as determined and idealistic. He thinks for himself and follows through on conclusions that he comes to even if the consequences would be unfavorable. He's willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals. He's not above using others to get what he wants, especially if they would be an obstacle otherwise so he can take out 'two birds with one stone'.
When it comes to obstacles, Brendan has a habit of rushing headlong straight at them. He doesn't back down or second guess himself. When a challenge or challenger presents itself he steps up and takes it on. He has a great deal of pride in himself and what few accomplishments he's made, and challenging that pride is a quick way to make an enemy.
As far as most people are concerned Brendan is cold and selfish. In order to make a friend out of him you have to put in effort and take a lot of crap along the way. No matter what the case you'll have to either really impress him or do something to get on his good side before he'd even consider being friends with you. As far as making enemies are concerned that should be obvious given his headstrong attitude and his pride. All you have to do to make him angry is stand in his way or backtalk him when he's doing or saying something.
History:
Birthplace: Angel Grove
Current Residence: Astronema's Ship
Father: Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: None
Other: Not close enough to his extended family for them to be relevant.
Brendan was born in the southeastern United States. His mother and father were a Physician and a Entrepreneur respectively. His parents were hardly at home during his youth because of the busy jobs they worked, with his father traveling a lot to make sales and his mother sometimes working late nights to keep help people as only Doctors can.
This lead to Brendan developing an independent streak of sorts because he was often left to fend for himself. Even when he had a nanny or a babysitter he still took it upon himself to get the snacks and toys he wanted when they weren't looking.
His school years, from the beginning until his current year in high school, have been a constant struggle for him. They haven't been hard because he's unintelligent. In fact he usually makes B's or better. The problem that he often got expelled from school or got detention for causing trouble or generally being uncooperative with the school staff.
Just before he entered high school his mother got a job offer at a Physician's plaza in California, and she had to accept the offer because the working conditions would be smoother and the pay was slightly better. Since his father moved around a lot anyway, that wasn't an issue for him. And so they set off to Angel Grove.
He got held back his sophomore year in high school because he lost his cool when some senior who thought he was hot stuff started talking down to him. He promptly inserted the young man's face into his own car windshield. Thus he was suspended for a year and had to try again the following year after said senior had graduated.
He is now a senior in high school himself. You would think his life would have been slowly improving as he would realize the relief of not having to deal with the ridiculous people at his school, but quite the opposite has occurred. The events in question took place out side of school, and were even unassociated with his learning experience altogether.
One evening on his way home a fight broke out between the Power Rangers and one of the monsters employed by the Empire. The fight escalated and the Zords became involved. Brendan was unaware of this as he was merely driving home. When he arrived he witnessed the final clash in the battle between metal and monster. The Rangers used one of their most powerful attacks to destroy the beast and the resulting explosion caused buildings to come toppling down. His own house was destroyed and rubble came crashing down around it and on top of it.
As he rushed on foot two or three blocks down the street over the crubmled buildings he halted upon a large mound of broken concrete and metal shrapnel. A crumpled hunk of metal that used to be his parent's car sat below a monstrous chunk of rock, their life's blood dripping from below the crushed door panels. His heart was filled with sorrow and his mind was clouded with disbelief. He had lost the only two people in the world he cared about, the only two people that cared about him...and at the same time it was the Power Rangers that had caused it. They were supposed to be the heroes. They were supposed to fight for justice and hope.
Brendan's face held no expression now, only streams of tears trickling down his cheeks. He couldn't look away from the scene before him no matter how badly he wanted to. This was real. It had happened. He was alone.
He was given an opportunity on this day, however. The ever watchful eyes of the Empire had scene his suffering and anguish and they intended to capitalize on it. One of the members of the empire approached him with the offer of power, the chance for revenged. His emotions still running high, Brendan nodded and took on the power of the Silver Psycho Ranger.

Zhyne nodded in agreement. He understood what Ninox was saying more than most. It was easy to become bogged down by all the hard times and bad things that happened in your life. Sometimes it even felt like there was nothing left but sorrow and despair. When asked about what happened to the Anglic, he frowned. "Vayne Braxton is no longer alive, though his spirit lives on in a young man I know. He gave his own life to take on a great evil. He defeated the demon known as Lazarus and ended his reign on Nephritus for a short time. But in the process Vayne ended up being consumed by Lazarus and took over Nephritus himself. Vayne's spirit has since been purified by a man named Aidan and a priestess named Satomi." Though they were potential enemies, Zhyne would not lie to Ninox. He could see from the change in Ninox's reaction that the anger had subsided to be replaced by something else...understanding? It was not what Zhyne expected, but he was glad to see that Ninox wasn't always so angry.
"You are right. There are many things that bother me. I came back to my home planet to try and save it from the war that has consumed it for so long. It is not an easy task and ending the war through normal means will be impossible. Even the Dark Knights deserve to see the war end. They have lost just as many as the Paladins here, and the war currently shows no sign of ending. It is nothing but a war of attrition. A city is beseiged one day and converted back to the other side the next. People on the equator live in utter chaos, unsure if they will see the light of the next day.".
Additional Information: Since I was having trouble coming up with a zord and ranger power as far as the Psycho Rangers were concerned, I decided to change it up slightly from what I had before. As opposed to drawing power from earthbound animals(like Hyena, which is what I was using before) the Psycho Rangers could draw power from stars/groups of stars. Not necessarily the stars themselves, but you get the idea.
