Thatguybruv

u/ThatGuyBruv (born August 5th, 1996), is an American politician, teacher, and astronaut serving as the 2nd senator of Massachusetts since 2035.

Early Life
Bruv was born as the youngest of 4 siblings in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was an intelligent, quick-witted child, interested in diplomacy and politics. His mother came from a family of European diplomats, while his father worked as a physicist. Once he turned 18, Bruv enlisted into the US Air Force. He quickly rose through the ranks, gaining the position of Chief Master Sergeant. He fought in the Middle East, becoming known as a heroic and confident pilot. In 2023, Bruv was transferred to the US Space Force, where he was sent on a manned mission overseeing the International Space Station. This made him the second youngest person to ever enter space. He retired in 2025 as a well-renowned and respected astronaut.

In 2027, due to his father's connections as a scientist, Bruv was hired to teach physics at Harvard University. Bruv enjoyed being a teacher, but wanted to rise up further than he was. The Harvard School Board elected him President of the College at 35 years old. Getting named such a respectable, powerful position was the catalyst that convinced him he wanted to enter politics.

Political Career
Bruv announced in early 2034 that he would be challenging Senator Niclas in the upcoming Massachusetts Senate Election. Niclas was considered unbeatable, a Democratic/Progressive powerhouse serving as the majority leader. Bruv himself was running as an independent and hadn't served in political office before. However, being President of Harvard was a very powerful position, and he was able to gain several top-notch endorsements, including that of President Frak Reynolds. A big help was that the Republican Party did not draft a candidate that year, allowing Bruv to focus solely on beating Niclas. In the end, Bruv won the election with an incredibly slim margin, making it one of the biggest upsets of the 2034 midterms.

Due to the breakdown of the ensuing Congress, Bruv was the crucial swing vote between 11 Republicans and 11 Democrats. He decided not to caucus with either of them, making him an incredibly powerful political figure. Bruv was considered a radical centrist, a moderate liberal, and a libertarian at times. In 2036, he endorsed President Frak Reynolds for a second term. While the state of Massachusetts did not flip, Reynolds swept the northeast, winning New York, New Jersey, and New Hampshire.

After 2036, Reynolds nominated Bruv as Director of National Intelligence. He oversaw numerous foreign policy affairs, like the 2037 UN Treaties, and the viral outbreak. Reynolds himself promised to put a man on Mars, prompting speculation that Bruv may be headed to space again.

In 2038 the senator joined the Democratic Coalition expanding thier large majority in the senate. He filed speculation about a run for President but quickly decided against it. He at first endorsed Thefunnym4n but after lbj dropped out he became Ironic Bepis's vice presidential nominee. After bepis received a poor showing in the primary both dropped out and endorsed Noodlesakaevan
