Personality:
Cautious, calculating, but overall an easy to get along with person. Bryne does possess something strange locked within his mind however. Bryne suffers from a split personality disorder. It calls itself Dizzy, what makes this disorder bizarre is that Dizzy only comes out to play when Bryne becomes inebriated. When Dizzy has control Bryne no longer uses logic, caution, and does not even perform well thought out tasks. Yet Brynes other self makes killing look like an art. In a way, Dizzy enhances Brynes ability to fight beyond anything Bryne could accomplish himself. However, Dizzy tends to throw himself into high risk situations.
It should also be noted that Bryne speaks normally, but for some reason Dizzy speaks with a slight Irish accent.





Brynes mother and father belonged to a wandering band of Irishmen. A generation of immigrants that came across from Ireland before the war started. Rather than staying settled in one place they chose to moved from city to city until he was 18. On one such trip, their party was over run by scavengers. The conflict eventually ended with the bandits being dispersed, but the casualties involved both of his parents. 

Bryne, being mentally broken and in shock, was taken to Rivet City where he would stay for the next few years, and it was here that he met the women he would eventually merry. To make ends meat he worked as a gun for hire operating around the area. By the time he was 23 his wife had passed, how she passed Bryne refuses to talk about. But in her memory he keeps her ring slung around a thin chain on his neck, and a ring tattooed around his ring finger.

With her passing Bryne took to heavy drinking, and between the large amounts of alcohol and his shattered mental state, his mind split and Dizzy came into existence. Who, or what Dizzy is cannot be fully explained. Bryne actually does not even know that Dizzy is there in his mind, for all he knows when ever Bryne drinks he blacks out and eventually comes to in a different location either waking from being asleep, bloodied, or sporting new injuries.

With his wife gone, Bryne had no reason to stay within Rivet City. Leaving to continue his work as a gun for hire out in the wastes. 

Bryne now chooses to work with no set organization, thinking that everyone is just out for themselves due to how savage and desperate humans can be in order to survive. He also prefers to work alone, but when a job seems to risky he will turn for aid, unless Dizzy has something to say about it. With the years ticking away, Bryne is now 28. The years spent fighting has left him with scars and injuries, most notably his left shoulder that wont quite heal all the way. Now he spends most of his time searching for something, exactly what is unknown even to him. To him it could be a solution to fill the hole he gained through the loss of his wife, or even a chance to try to make a difference in the world. The one thing he is certain of is, he thoroughly enjoys taking the lives of bandits.
