Full name: Ryan Alan Berlitz

Nickname: N/A

Age: 34

Height: 6'0"

Physical

As family, Ryan bears many similarities to his baby brother Jason, having similar builds and hair. Ryan is a bit taller though, and doesn't dress as flashy as Jason. He'll occasionally wear a visor or spike his hair a bit, but other than that, he tends to keep things down low.

Backstory

Unlike Jason, Ryan got into the musical scene at a young age, learning guitar while he was in grade school and occasionally trying to start bands in high school. None of them really took off, and since the Berlitz family typically avoided joining the GSPB (cf. Jason's page), Ryan decided to turn to the business side of the industry instead. Honing his skills as an electrician for a little while, Ryan eventually started a music store with an emphasis on custom built and wired instruments instead. He's kept at it and still oversees it as his main job, though he kept playing and trying to form bands as a side job. One of the build requests was for a violin, an instrument Ryan hadn't learned at the time; he was able to build and tune it for his customer, and upon hearing good feedback, he decided to try and learn how to play one himself. Soon enough, it became his backup instrument.

One of these former bandmates was a drummer by the name of Chad Aulden, who typically spent his daytime hours on the force like Jason. Once Ryan introduced Chad and Jason to each other, the two bonded as musicians pretty quickly and in the span of the next several months, the three would go on to form their own part-time band, Trialogue. Unlike Ryan's numerous past attempts, Trialogue has stayed together for a few years now and still play shows once in a while.

Ryan has been married for about seven years to his wife, Veronica. They have one child together, a son, Derek.

Personality

Having never really grasped the adrenaline-loaded lifestyle of his brother, Ryan tends to remain the straight man of the family (and Trialogue, for that matter). He's pretty good when it comes to a conversation, but just make sure to respect his status as a married man, otherwise you might face his own wrath, or worse, his wife's.
