BRADLEY's Links
Being the older brother of his ex-girlfriend, Oriza and Chester have a strained relationship. Chester finds himself intimidated by Oriza's popularity and ability to make friends, and steers clear of him more often than not.
Whirlpool thinks he's so tough! He thinks he's better than everyone else and he constantly bullies me.. But.. I still like him, and I want to get to know him more, I just wish he wouldn't shut me out so much..
Teri and Brad are very close. When they're not partying the night away in Chester's mansion or at Escobar, the pair are at the arcade playing games or exploring the city after hearing that a new ice-cream parlour has opened in the city. Though he would never admit it, Brad feels protective of Teri even though he is fully aware that she is capable of looking after herself. When Molotov starts showing his true colours, Brad starts keeping closer tabs on Teri, especially when he believes that his sister from another mother's life could be in danger.
Teri and Penny have known each other for a while, having met in a nightclub bathroom after Teri had been ostracized by her former group of friends for breaking up with Chester. Penny, admittedly incredibly wasted and not above starting shit for no reason, promptly chewed the girls out and invited Teri to drink with her. This marked the beginning of both a long friendship, and a frequent arrangement of the two sleeping together when Teri's sexual haul was less than adequate. Penny would say that Teri is one of her best friends, and has often stepped in to stop Teri going home with people that Penny knows that won't be able to satisfy the octoling's near-insatiable interests.
When they first met in the Splat League, Chester and Penny had what could've been described as a "love-hate relationship", if that was 99% hate and 1% love, frequently getting into arguments and physical altercations. Despite this, the pair have been part of each others inner circles since the formation of the Respawn Punishers, and have a higher level of tolerance for one another than they did in their youth. This was only exacerbated by the fact Chester's father begun to date Penny's mother, forcing them into a ""loving nuclear familial relationship"".
Penny's relationship with Chester fluctuates between, "I hate his guts", "He's tolerable, I suppose", and "Don't tell anyone, but we fucked a few times". Initially Penny and Chester didn't get along at all, the other inkling's mannerisms and general behaviour grating on Penny's patience. It's common knowledge that Penny is the reason that Chester is missing one of his teeth, and it's something that she wears with pride. Nowadays the two have a friendly relationship. Penny joined his band, and the pair came to realise that the other wasn't half bad. To further the idea, Chester's father Gus and Penny's mother Diane began to date, basically forcing both Chester and Penny to interact on the regular. Additionally, Penny and Chester realised that they used to go to school together when they were children, but since both of them hated their childhood, prefer to keep that information to themselves.
Penny and Nugget go back a long way, working together at fast food restaurant "Arowana Burgers" when Nugget was a teenager. Penny worked as a manager, and the pair spent many closing shifts together, Nugget often sharing with Penny his desire to start a Splat League team.
Due to their history, Nugget was delighted when Penny attended auditions for Buffet Breakfast, and was quick to put a stop to the bullying she received from the other members. This eventually lead to the fracturing of the team, causing Nugget to fire the other two members and seeking out replacements for the new and improved Buffet Breakfast. Nugget considers Penny a very close friend of his, and since marriage to her twin brother, he likes to believe they are closer than ever.
Penny's relationship with Nugget started out pretty rocky, primarily because she couldn't understand how someone like Nugget had the capacity to run a league team competently. When she was having issues with the team, Penny was genuinely surprised when Nugget put his foot down and was willing to stand up for her, even though the person Nugget was standing up to was his former best friend. Penny would never admit it, but she trains hard as her way of expressing her appreciation for Nugget having her back. Alongside Skittles, she painstakingly helped both Buffalo and Nugget to muster up the courage to start dating, but this doesn't stop her from bullying them both.
If there was one person that Brad would consider the love of his life after Nathan, it's Chester tenfold. With no self-control between the two of them and the tendency to get way too deep into trouble, Chester and Brad have an irreplaceable bond which has been forged in the fire of many drunken escapades, nonsense, and broken windows. Whenever Brad is in trouble Chester is the first person he goes to, knowing that his hombre will have his back in any situation, no matter how dangerous and stupid.

Brad and Nathan have been through a lot. With their relationship starting in quite possibly the worst way possible, initially, Brad despised Nathan and everything he stood for. However, upon escaping Gloria's clutches and being forced to work together to remain undercover and safe, Brad discovered that Nathan had been deprived of many things that made life worth living. In his quest to help Nathan experience new and exciting things, Brad found himself growing very attached to Nathan but concluded that there would never be anything mutual between them. However, as time as passed and the two have grown closer, the pair have been dating for a very long time, and have gone through several disappearances, two near-death experiences, numerous raids, and more kidnappings than Brad can count. Brad would do anything for Nathan and loves the hitman with his entire being, but is not above antagonising him from time to time.
