Motivations/Goals/DreamTo flee and defect from the marines and rediscover his passion to help others as well as to allow the morals and ideals he once held dear to himself resurface.
Reason For Joining Even though apparently settling for mediocrity as a marine, Brinsley's longing for adventure never vanished; it was simply set aside. His encounter with the captain caused some sort of rekindling of his curios and thrill-seeking personality.
History/Bio:Brinsley is the son of two established doctors from the island of Tiberina in the West Blue and one of three children. The family was away during the incident and when they returned, they found themselves at odd with the new aggressive ideology bared by their homeland. Their disagreement ran deep enough that they decided to move and left the island country. They eventually found their way to the South Blue, where they worked a clinic and school on a small island. The family found itself struggling, his parents' generosity and desire to help the greater good hurting their ability to sustain the family. Brinsley and his siblings, seeing very little future for themselves on the island, started to look abroad for opportunities. They settled to joined the marines, who were desperate for recruits and advertising broadly and generously. This, understandably, caused quite a rift and great chagrin to everyone in the family as the Brinsley couple didn't hold the Marines in high regards following their self-imposed exile.
Brinsley had grown up in a warm and stimulating family, one that was basically trained in child rearing. His childhood was one of sunlight and adventure. He grew up to be a very well-adjusted person, but his parents' decision to leave and live on a small island for the rest of their life made him feel trapped. They wanted to leave the world of war, death, and pain behind them so that they could help those who need it on a smaller scale. Brinsley wanted to feel once again a sense of adventure and wanted to help the whole world. It is with a sense of high, misguided idealism that he joined the marine's medical division. It was quite a shock to him. It wasn't the medical part that was rough – he grew up among the sick, the wounded, and the dying, but rather the living and those he was to call his comrades. Rough, rude, and at times downright vile, he found himself viciously out of his element in the marine structure. Nevertheless, Brinsley held on. However, his natural empathy eventually faded and his sense of justice dulled as he was continuously met with cool and callous responses from not just those he was tasked to treat, but his peers and colleagues as well.
