Brimstone
(a.k.a. Brims (only used by close friends))
Brimstone is one of The Big Three, the inner circle that controls the Radwinks. The Big Three ventured into Get High Falls with a few followers, found the Frontier, and set it up as their main base of operations. Brimstone is the most public of The Big Three. He helps with all the manual labor, manages in-group relations, and delivers any punishment if need be. He's a hunk of a man; he's built like a Battlebabe and puts in any extra work needed. His face is a bit worse for wear and there's unusual scars on his neck, but that doesn't distract much from the rest of the package.
Contrary to his position and power, Brimstone is not a iron fist ruler. He wants to know his Radwink subordinates and keep everyone as happy as can be. It helps that a happy pack only benefits the fairly well-off position the Radwinks are currently in. If the situation changed too quickly, Brimstone wouldn't know what to do besides rage at everything he sees. His typical (if slightly stunted) attitude, alongside the work he puts in, is enough for him to win over most Radwinks without causing a ruckus.
Of course, Brimstone is only human and he has some strange tendencies. He's picky about getting new clothes, is too susceptible to flirting, and has grown dependent on the other two-thirds of The Big Three to make sweeping decisions. In spite of all that, he seems happy about his position. Whether or not he knows that it could all fall down at any minute is the real question.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
You ever seen those old world murals of Battlebabes in nothing but their underwear? That's what people keep comparing Brimstone to. Rumors say that he used to look like every other scrapper, but you could never figure that out by looking at him now. Every muscle on him is accentuated, giving him an intimidating figure as much as they give him a sexy one. His legs are pure pistons of bone and muscle. His arms are like carved wood and his hands, although a little big, are proportioned properly and still appropriate for daily use. The head is where things start turning from great to less-than-great. Brimstone's jawline is exquisite, but he's got numerous scars around his neck. His cheeks are little fat and his forehead is just a few centimeters too big. Brimstone's nose is awkwardly thin and his eyes are a beady black. Regardless, he's still a better looking fella than 90% of what's out there and would do in a pinch if you needed to relieve some urges.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Like all of The Big Three, Brimstone's past before the Frontier is shrouded in mystery. He says that he was born just two years before it all went to shit, and considering how he's not quite a geezer and not quite a youngin', it's easy to believe. Brimstone's mother somehow lived long enough through all the Hell around her to raise him into a capable survivor. The rest is Radwinks history; He joined the other two of The Big Three and found Frontier with a small group of followers. From there, the Radwinks continued to prosper.
Many of the older members of the Radwinks claim that Brimstone used to be more shrewd and quiet. The personality change only happened after the Radwinks settled into Frontier. The older members also say that Brimstone's body wasn't always unnaturally fit, but here we are.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
- Wants to keep everything running smoothly. Having a steady stream of food, water, and resources coming into the Frontier is Priority #1, and if that means trekking to the river so people don't die of thirst then Brimstone will do it. He won't be happy, but he'll do it and get the job done better than most every other Radwink.
- Wants to be liked by the rest of the Radwinks. In spite of being one of The Big Three and thus able to do whatever he wants, Brimstone does his best to talk to and integrate with his subordinates. Radwinks complaining about other members? Brimstone has an open ear. Some people are bullshitting? Brimstone will throw in a clever quip or two (if he can think of any). Everyone else is drinking? Then there's no chance Brimstone isn't drinking.
Virtues & Personality perks
- Hardworking. Something needs to be built? Brimstone will start building it. If Savvyheads need some old world tech moved from here to way over there, he'll will get it done faster than a biker gang. Rumors say that Brimstone could have his arms blown off and he'd still wake up every morning to farm crops. Even if it weren't true, not one Radwink can imagine the day when Brimstone wouldn't be up at the crack of dawn.
- Empathy, at least for his own people. Newer Radwinks forgetting their duties aren't immediately met with Brimstone's wrath or punishment. If he sees a member having a genuine struggle completing a task, Brimstone will be a bit more lax about chastising them. The only thing Brimstone can't tolerate is slackers, but with how loyal most Radwinks are that is rarely an issue.
Vices & Personality flaws
- He's a creature of habit. The good thing is that he's not a wild animal; he understands that some things take longer than expected and that not everybody adjusts to the Radwinks life as smoothly as he did. But when minor obstacles become constant interruptions, he starts to lose his cool. Swearing like a pissed-off Chopper, having no time for your shit, and random acts of violence are common symptoms.
- He's a lustful hog. Whether it's some of that before-the-bombs youthfulness or whether it's because of some deep-rooted need for more approval, he'll bang anyone who is interested. Given his physique, he's always on the receiving end of any initial signs of affection. This passivity has left him poorly equipped to deal with people who use sex as a tool for their own ends.
Social
Social Aptitude
Brimstone is socially competent, if not a little stunted. He can pick up on whether people are angry, upset, lustful, and totally checked out (assuming those emotions aren't trying to be suppressed). For common situations (like interacting with Radwinks) he'll try to be ahead of the curve and guess at what is going to be said. For situations outside of his normal scenarios Brimstone will defer to the other two of The Big Three. If he is the only leader present, he will slow on the uptake and not commit to anything (unless it goes against the goals of the Radwinks, at which point he'll actively deny any interest or involvement).
Wealth & Financial state
Being one of The Big Three, Brimstone has a lot of social power among the Radwinks and can get what he wants. However, very little of what Brimstone seeks out can be considered ostentatious. New clothes are the most common items he demands, followed by pots and pans. Brimstone will get attached to small oddities occasionally (his favorite is a Maelstrom-warped brick) and every other Radwink who knows about this habit has no idea why Brimstone covets the junk that he does. Brimstone's most valuable possession is an absurdly comfortable old world bed with the words, "Memory Foam," written on its side. The few Radwinks that have laid on the bed say it's like a dream.
