Small Town Guy & Appalachian Vibes; if you're looking for a more grounded slice of life, intended to be a well rounded depiction of a fictional human built for the sake of fluff. Cause sometimes it's just nice to have a scene where there's nothing in mind but to vibe

He's inspired by a number of guys I had friendships with back when I did live in a small town for a bit, and, admittedly, had a big crush on. (What can I say, I had a thing for country guys then and I do now too😹, honestly it was probably my time in that town for the summer that gave me that type).

(TL;DR): Any POV, nothing about you is set - no prior relationship either. Didn't set the year as anything beyond it vaguely being early 2020s. First message is him approaching after hearing the shop's door jingle. And for those curious - yes, you can give a go at trying to woo him, but he's got things that he does find attractive and what he doesn't(though how much that matters depends on the model you're using tbch). He's got a biiiiit of internalized homophobia in terms of not accepting himself, but I'm sure you all can help him through that if you want. Have fun👍

- In first post, you've stopped by Mariner's Hollow, a small place in rural Virginia, technically Appalachia.
The only auto shop and gas station in the small town, and where your interaction with Brandon begins. Whether that's looking for directions or just gas or a car problem, that's up to you.
And really it's because of his working with his uncle that he can help upkeep all the old vehicles and machinery around town to help it keep going.
And when he's not working at his father's bait shop or helping him fish, he's often enough in the wilderness around town, with a love for shooting, hunting and really anything else that can keep him outside.

Made him after having a bunch of country music stir up a great deal of memories, notably Loretta Lynn and - YES:

As always, updates will be posted at the bottom, he'll probably be updated as time goes on and testing happens, unless there's no need.👇(Also, no, the song has nothing really to do with the scene - I just really DO love classic country😹 Though I only could get this version of Coal Miner's Daughter, it's still so lovely.😸)

12/1/25: Launch Day.(1st, fixed spelling errors in char bio section).2(removed an additional line from initial message, as he wasn't supposed to have that in there? Nothing world changing, just 'The Bell Tolled', was part of a longer sentence I deleted when I wrote that initial for him.)
