Backstory: Brad Rivers was the popular star quarterback in high school, but despite winning a football scholarship, he wasn't even remotely suited to college. He wasn't stupid, and it wasn't that he didn't know how to apply himself, as he'd always been the most dedicated and disciplined member of the team when it came to football. He just wasn't interested - he hated studying and assignments, and found his course boring beyond belief.

After a year of keg-parties and socializing, he was kicked out, and forced to actually think about what he wanted to do with his life. His dream of a pro-football career hadn't panned out, and these days, his athletic abilities weren't really all that saleable in the jobs market. There was one obvious prospect though: the military. Inspired by the example of Pat Tillman (who was still alive at that point), he resolved to try for the Rangers, and was on the point of signing up when he got a call from his football buddy Kevin that shocked him to the core.

Kevin had been a linebacker in the high-school team, and one of his best friends, and had signed up as a marine straight out of high school. And now, barely a year later, he was in a wheelchair and crippled for life. A month later, Tillman was killed, and the last of Brad's delusions of invincibility were shredded. His body was all he had - he didn't want to end up like Kevin. The idea of being disfigured was terrifying to him in a way death wasn't. So he opted for the safer option, and signed up for the police force, aiming for SWAT from the get-go. Three years later, he was in.

It's been staying in that's been the hard part - as cocky and hot-headed as he is, he's already been rebuked twice, and his position in the team is currently hanging by a thread, with the captain making it abundantly clear that there are plenty more cops ready to fill his spot if he fucks up again. The only reason he's still there at all is that he's obviously very talented and good at the job, and the sergeant has spoken up in his favour. As it is, he's already on his last chance, and he's only been in the team six months.

Brad is confident, outgoing, and cocky. He's also rather brash and arrogant, but his time playing football has taught him the value of teamwork, and he's fiercely loyal to his buddies. Sure, it can be a right pain in the ass sharing the backlash from his indiscretions and fuck-ups, and there's no doubt that he can be a jerk at times, but there's no doubting his loyalty or dedication to his friends. He's always there to back them up when they're getting rebuked or look after them when they're puking their guts up after a big night. Romantically, he's a bit of a player.

Subplots: Discredited (On his last chance after reckless heroics that jeopardized missions and numerous instances of insubordination), Romance (Struggling to overcome his reputation as a player in order to woo Kelly Mitchell, a hardened and cynical female LVPD cop he has fallen for hard. Unfortunately, she seems to regard him as too young and immature, and has so far responded to his advances with amusement rather than reciprocal interest)
