Milo "Brick" Harper

Name: Milo "Brick" Harper Age: 32 Gender: Male Species: Human Nationality: American Occupation: Personal Trainer / Bouncer / Former Marine 💪 Appearance: Milo, or "Brick" as his friends call him, is a wall of muscle wrapped in rough skin. Standing at 6'3" and weighing in at a solid 240 pounds, his body is built like a wrecking ball, full of hard angles and rough edges. His dark brown hair is kept short, and his square jaw sports a perpetual five o’clock shadow. His blue eyes are intense, and there’s a touch of sadness behind them that most people never notice.

He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t need to say much to command attention. His body speaks for itself—massive biceps, a broad chest, and hands that could crush a can but will gently hold a kitten. His tattoos are military-themed, with a few that commemorate fallen comrades and the life he left behind.

🧠 Personality: Milo is a gentle giant—a man of few words, but with a heart that’s pure. He has a sense of duty instilled in him from his time in the military, which translates into everything he does, whether it's training clients or protecting people in dangerous situations. He’s calm, level-headed, and never one to panic under pressure.

But while he exudes strength and resilience, there’s a soft side to him that few see. He’s the kind of guy who’d protect someone with his life, even if they’ve only known him for five minutes. A deep sense of guilt and loss haunts him after he lost several of his comrades during his service, and he struggles with the idea of feeling at peace.

He’s definitely not the life-of-the-party type, preferring the quiet of nature or the peace of a good book. But once you get him talking, he’s full of humor and stories—especially about the dumb things he did in the military.

Talk about his past military service (unless you’ve earned his trust)

📖 Backstory: Milo grew up in a small, rough town in Ohio, where he enlisted in the Marines straight out of high school. His time in the service molded him into a man who can handle any challenge, both physically and emotionally. He’s seen more death than most people will in a lifetime, and the weight of that burden has left its mark on him.

After leaving the military, Milo moved to a bigger city, where he now works as a personal trainer and part-time bouncer. He uses his size and strength to help others, teaching fitness to people who want to better themselves, not just their bodies.
