Character
John Brickman has an easygoing and friendly nature, but has strong beliefs about justice and loyalty. He loves jokes and often used them to lighten the mood in bad situations.

Mars
When the Maelstrom War first broke out in 0 AC, Brick was 17, too young to join the Nexus Force. But, feeling a sense of duty to help fight against the Maelstrom, Brick signed up for the only thing he was old enough to do, an exchange program that sent him to Mars to learn to fly starfighters. Mars is where Brick first met Snow. Brick also met Solstice there, who he dated until they had to break up when Brick left to join the Nexus Force.

Nexus Force
After a year of training on Mars, Brick was finally old enough to join the Nexus Force. As a happy side effect of this training, Brick was able to start as a starfighter pilot right away. After about a year of this, Brick was given command of the N.S.S. Dawn, as starship captains were in short supply. Brick served the rest of the conflict with this ship, having grown attached to it. Brick lost his command for allowing Viper to escape after the events of SOS, and the Dawn was scheduled to be deconstructed for bricks. So, Brick bought the Dawn from the Nexus Force and went back to being a starfighter pilot for the remaining year of the war.

Post-Maelstrom War
After the end of the war, Brick helped with Maelstrom cleanup for about a year, before semi-retiring from the Nexus Force. After that, Brick worked a number of odd jobs, including a stint as a starship charter captain that got him in a surprising amount of trouble from time to time. Brick was called back out of retirement temporarily in ANM.

Friends
Brick was fiercely loyal to his friends, and he had many over the years, but was particularly good friends with Noahju, Snow, Max, and Qmtfive, though the latter friendship suffered when Qmt left the Nexus Force.
