Weaknesses:

Overall Personality:
Brayden is a womanizing, alcoholic singer who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. He's a charmer with the ladies, and his prowess in that area makes him seem cool to other men. He's a publicity hound, always wanting to stand in the limelight and have the attention focused on him and it drives him crazy when others are the center of attention instead (especially Ronnie). Jealousy, insecurities about commitment, and a low moral conscience make his on again/off again relationship with Ronnie quite often in the off again stage. He's jealous of her success and can't wrap his head around being in a relationship with only one woman the rest of his life. Those who get to know him tend to develop one of two opinions of him: he's awesome, or he's the biggest jerk on the planet. He's brutally honest to others, but rarely looks at himself long enough to honestly assess his situation or choices. This leads to his perpetuating his self destructive lifestyle and bad habits, like drinking himself silly whenever possible, smoking far too much, and always pushing away the woman he loves (even though he hasn't figured out he loves her).

Parents: Anita Joe Chance - mother- pureblood - housewife (used to sing in bars)
Jerome Andrew Chance - father - muggleborn - Judge in the Wizengamot
Siblings: none
Pets: none
Residence: London, England
History:
Brayden was born into a rigid house. His father, a successful ministry emplyee, his mother a former singer gone housewife. Jerome Chance was a strict man, very old fashioned, and believed that married women shouldn't work, especially at singing in dark bars late at night. So, when Anita married Jerome, she quit her job. Brayden grew up hating his fathers strict life style. He's spent his entire life rebelling, becoming addicted to cigarettes and alcohol in the progress.
He get's his singing voice from his mother, his need to be paid attention to from his father. He's made singing into a career, a dream of fame for the future, and refuses to let go of that hope. One day he wants to prove his father wrong about himself and show him that he isn't a lazy bum but a rich and famous bum.
His years at Hogwarts were relatively uneventful. He was sorted into Slytherin where he learned to manipulate people, mostly women, and graduated with grades just beyond passing. He's a smart guy, but lacked the interest or will power to really pursue his education. He dated a lot of girls, got into as much trouble at he could, and refused to listen to any sort of authority simply because he knew it would give his father more grief to hear about.
It was during his Hogwarts years that he was introduced to Ronnie Anderson, a cute little Hufflepuff girl. She was muggleborn, but pureblood mania was never something that bothered Brayden, much to his father's chagrin. He and she dated on and off for the next few years. When they were together, they were either fantastic or they fought all the time, and when they were apart, he perpetually found himself comparing the other women to her. She garnered the publicity and success that he's yet to achieve in his music career. That's something that he both admires and is incredibly jealous of. Her ability to draw people to her frightens him, mostly because he can't seem to get her out of his head. He's cheated on her a lot, been mean, said horrible things, but in the end what he refuses to acknowledge is that he probably loves her.
After he graduated her got a job as a bar tender at Matchbox Blues, and soon after persuaded the manager to let him sing. He did well enough that the manager let him slowly take over the weekly entertainment. He's now part of the house band, singing bluesy music and the occasional rock song. He get's hired out on night they have special guest singers to sing at other bars and events. This position only makes it easier for him to gather groupies around him and use their slutty habits to fuel his own vices.
Recently he's been thinking about Ronnie a lot again. She's everywhere now, her songs are on the radio and her pictures in the windows of stores and the music section of magazines and newspapers. It's difficult to get her out of his head when she's everywhere, and he's starting to think that maybe the best way for him to further his music career is to know someone who's already famous. Maybe the way to get the limelight he desires is to date Ronnie again. It's more than a strategy for success; though he refuses to admit it, he misses Ronnie, everything about her and the way she makes him feel. But without admitting this to himself he's doomed to not only repeat his mistakes, but make probably unrepairable damage to his relationship with the woman he loves (even if he won't admit it to himself) by using her to get what he wants: fame.
