Personality

Bradley is a good-natured and upbeat goofball that loves to tell jokes. He dedicates hours of his day writing down material for what he believes is humor, sometimes not all original. This is because Bradley craves acceptance and attention, and telling knock-knock jokes is his way of getting it. He has an unwavering optimism and dedication to making people laugh, despite his lack of social awareness and creativity. In fact, most of the jokes Bradley collects came from TV, comics, radio, or chewing gum wrappers. Famously though, these jokes are usually universally considered awful by his classmates; this does not stop Bradley however, and any insults or teases that get thrown his way may as well have not been thrown at all. He genuinely doesn't understand when he's being made fun of, and can't tell if his peers are being serious when they tell him to scram. This leads him to clinging around people who he is less than popular with. Any appearance of Bradley is usually followed by a collective groan, as they anticipate the lame humor he's undoubtedly prepared that day. Never deterred by a tough crowd, Bradley never gives up, and just sees it as a sign that he needs to try harder. It is impossible to crush his spirit, and he always comes back. Just about the only person who laughs at Bradley's jokes is Gabe, and it usually takes him a few seconds to get it. Too bad Bradley is too naïve to see the issue with this.

Biography

Bradley was friendless as a child and ill-socialized, the only peer his age he knew during his formative years being his sister. Seeing how much his parents enjoyed listening to comedy radio shows in the evenings, Bradley decided he would follow the same path. He would reenact comedy routines he listened to in private to impress his family, and enjoyed the attention he received. He's been using the same tactics ever since, although his peers in school are much less receptive.

Appearance

Bradley is 5'7". He has light brown hair, which is combed neatly to the side. He has light green skin with freckles, and yellow eyes. His most common outfit outside of school is a long-sleeved pale yellow and white bowling shirt, dark blue jeans, and brown shoes.

Skills and Abilities

Bradley never gives up. He has an indomitable spirit, and no amount of insults or derision can get him down. He loves making people laugh, and believes he will one day be a famous stand-up comic.

Weaknesses

Bradley is severely tone-deaf. He can never tell if he's being ridiculed, mocked, or jeered, a common occurrence whenever he is present. He thinks himself to be very funny, but is in fact very annoying to everyone around him, leading him to be very unpopular. Ironically, Bradley also lacks creativity, and has trouble coming up with jokes of his own.

Job

Bradley has high asperations, and after realizing he could use it to prop up his comedy act, he becomes the 'Minister of Entertainment' at the Community House.
