Brumaire is the son of Marcel & Lydia, mate to Nathaniel and father of Tierney, Máire, Nimh, Dreyma, Kallistos and Damianus. Upon joining Inferni, Brumaire seeked to receive approval from his half-sister Vesper. After an escalation of events, when their brother Dartmouth used Brum and attempted to kill Vesper, Brumaire killed Dart.
Inferni members may assume and reference the following without discussion/asking:
Brumaire around the armoury and other storage areas; checking stock, adding stock, organising, etc.
Brumaire around either the Great Village or the D'Neville Mansion doing non-descript things.
Appearance
Basics
Essentials
Species: Coming Soon.
Fur: Brumaire posses the dense coat of a wolf which he has inherited from his father, however all over his pelt is curly; ranging from tight ringlets to loose waves, creating an illusion that makes him appear a lot larger than he actually is.
Optime Hair: Coming Soon.
Facial Features: His muzzle is larger than an average wolf's, giving him a rather 'dappy' like expression regardless of the male's actual mood, with the scar across his muzzle splitting the upper lip along his right hand side a little. Enlarged ears flop anywhere from 3/4 to half and at times can be held up erect, making them rather expressive and a clear indication of both his coyote (their size) and dog (floppy-ness) blood. As if cut out of stone, he possesses a coyotes facial structure and the sharp lines that come with the coyote blood.

Humanization: Describe the level of humanization your character has, e.g.: Often wears Accessories.

Forms
115 lb (52 kg)
36 in (91 cm)
Lupus
Despite the mass of fur that makes him look like a walking bad hair day, as he has grown Brumaire has filled his frame and along with his thick, fluffy coat he appears well proportioned rather than gangly and all leg like his father. Instead, he looks slightly chubby, of which is a sore point of his and when summer comes and his coat thins out, he makes sure to flaunt his thinner appearing form to the fullest.
Curling up against his back (always onto his left hand side) his tail is a perfect ring and barely wags due the the nature of his heritage, which makes expressing his emotions through tail motions hard for the Moineau, often leading to his more lippy nature being taken the one way from poorly expressed body language.
160 lb (72.5 kg)
44 in (112 cm)
Secui
To some degree his pelt thickens, his long legs becoming more prominent, making him appear to be all legs and little body. At the end of his legs, his paws are over sized much like a pups would be, which makes balance and fine movement awkward in the form.
Along the back of his neck, his hair thins slightly whilst maintain it's thickness and length, growing abnormally curly and impossibly knotted. Some strands begin to flop down over his face, partially blocking his eyes and making the form even more irritable to be within.
250 (113.5 kg)
6 ft, 10 in (208 cm)
Optime
Typically found in optime form, Brumaire is a strange sight upon two legs; still possessing the thick fluffy coat and never ending legs, he stands moderately tall considering his heritage, each limb and part of his body filled out nicely, neither over or underweight, although it is hard to tell under his pelt; pale curls of fur coat his chest and a wild matted mane sprouts from his head, curling in every direction and left to it's own devices.
With time spent away from his father's pack, Brumaire has dropped consideration for others sensitivities and wears no clothing, aside from the choke chain collar around his throat, his posture however is more humanised than feral, with a straight back and light stance, something gained from his constant use of optime form.
Other
Modifications
Piercings: None, but maybe someday soon.
Tattoos: At the back of his neck he has a small simplistic set of bird wings; reflecting his family name. Although this tattoo is always covered by his hair and surrounding long-pelt.
Scars:
A large scar spreads across the top of his muzzle, deforming the right side of his upper muzzle a fraction
Multiple bite and scratch marks along his back/rump area from multiple canines he has accidentally insulted.
Small burn mark on the inside of his right wrist from a cooking accident.
Accessories
Brumaire doesn't like wearing large amounts of objects, nor does he posses many.
A standard choke chain with a golden leaf dog tag
Brumaire has a rough short bow, which he brings with him as and when desiring to use it.
Clothes
When left to his own device, Brumaire does not wear any clothes. However, if it is apparent that the other luperci is offended by his lack of clothing (and he is aware of this before leaving home), he can and does wear a large brown leather coat and a pair of grey/black cargo shorts; both of which are over worn and heavily tattered.
Laid back and aloof, Brumaire is one to take things as the come and assess matters with a realistic mindset; he has a pretty level head when an emergency comes about and does not grow overly emotional in bad situations, often leaving his break down to later when he is in private. This does tend to make him appear cold and withdrawn at such times, however Brumaire is no such ice prince- Loving, protective and strong willed, the agouti male is full of confidence and an easy smile. On the flip side he is also equally sarcastic, clumsy with expressing himself and renowned for being inappropriate all the time; or downright irritating to be around perhaps may be more accurate, with a notable penchant for innuendos and flirting with anything that breathes, more so if the canine is a red head.
Whilst he may act like a complete playboy or one to always be at parties, he does feel at peace in solitude and has an appreciation for simplistic things. When confronted with an aggressive situation, he is more inclined to flee than fight, not wishing to have to deal with the never ending cycle of revenge and hate; as such it is pretty hard to ruffle Brum up and rare for him to initiate any form of hostility unless his friends or family are directly threatened. This is also due to the fact he is a non-combatant, lacking skills in any form of fighting aside from his own natural instincts, additionally he has little experience in the art of combat.
One of the biggest factors of Brumaire's personality is his compulsive need to be accepted by family, to have a complete family where everyone is happy. This perhaps is due to the fact he was raised under his older brother, Dartmouth's, shadow. Regardless of this fact, he loved and looked up to his brother greatly, although was often starved for paternal affection which lead to his more foolish tendencies to occur as he sought attention. Growing up surrounded by less mentally stable canines, Brumaire rarely is surprised by others behaviours and is more accepting of strange nuisances and traits, as well as having a knack for picking up on small nuances in behaviour, meaning that he can often tell when someone's mood is changing for the worse -- quite an important skill to learn when you're around maniacs and drunkards!
Loyal to a fault, once he dedicates himself to an idea or an individual he will not be swayed and will do everything he can to protect that which has earned his loyalty. For those who do not know him, the Moineau has a reasonable poker face, although once anyone spends some time around him it becomes evident how poorly his hides his emotions and how bad he is at lying.
Ideals
Interests
Tattoos: He learned how to tattoo shortly after shifting (although the results weren't pretty in the beginning).
Archery: Whilst still a novice, the art of shooting things appeals to him and is something he is actively trying to improve himself in.
Psychology: Being around a group of maniacs and drunkards not only helped him develop a knack for reading moods, but also generated an interest in behaviour and how the mind works.
Traits
He is Sarcastic/Witty/Mouthy, Nurturing, Protective, Need to prove himself, Competitive
Rejection: Whilst he was deprived of the paternal affection he desired, he fears losing his father and family greatly, holding on tightly to the little affection he has and does receive.
Responsibility: Unreliable at the best of times, he prefers to have complete freedom over everything he does so that he can never not meet someone's expectations, a deadline, etc.
Infertility: It has always weighed upon his mind that despite his sleeping around, he has no children and fears that he never will.
Motivations
Need to impress: Being overshadowed didn't make him depressed or hate his family, rather it made him competitive, made him need to show the world his talents, that he is the best and to win in everything.
Family: The only relationship he actually tries in, he is protective of his family and would quickly throw his life away to save any said member of his family.
Biases
Non-Luperci: It confuses him why some would limit themselves, deny themselves of the option to choose forms.
Gender: He's rather gruff and unfriendly towards strange women, because they are more often the ones that try to kill him later.
Form Choice: Brumaire disapproves of those who favour one form, believing that all three forms are natural and interchanging is a good thing.
Sexuality
Kinsey 3: "Equally heterosexual and homosexual"
Physical Relationships: Brumaire isn't romantic; all he cares about is physical pleasure. Concepts like flirting, leading up to something, dating, etc are lost on him. All he cares about is bedding them and leaving.
Kinks: Enjoys spontaneous love making, is happily either dominant or submissive. Likes being ordered around, pushed against the wall, passion.
Red-heads: Brumaire is a sucker for redheads; especially those with strong arms and amazing thighs.
Substances
Smoker: Brumaire smokes a lot; especially when agitated.
Whilst he lived a wild childhood, he has moderately mellowed out with time and currently only smokes occasionally when under great amount of stress (to which he would take to his Optime form to do).
Spirituality
Atheistic: Does not believe in god(s) and finds the concept of gods a waste of time.
Vesper: Due to Marcel's drunken mutterings, Brumaire is aware of his sisters existence and is curious to seek her out and learn more about her. Through various means he tracked her and Sparrow down in May 2013, finding them in Inferni and was given a chance, to prove that he wasn't like their father - I don't believe in fairy tales. Brumaire has taken this opportunity seriously and often strives to be on his best behaviour, to gain his sister's approval.
Nathaniel King: Brumaire's best friend and mate... even if Nate is a bit of an air head. After a rather rocky start to their friendship, Brum finds Nathaniel stunning and longs for him. After the death of Dartmouth, his attachment to Nate greatly intensified and was late reciprocated by Nate.
Positive Relations
Avaiki Asylum: One of his close friends, to whom he often confides in and is a general bad influence towards. She is also his chief baby sitter!
Vicira Tears: Amused by the girl's nature, Brumaire is rather doting towards Vicira, treating her like a partner in crime/being a bad influence towards her.
Neutral Relations
Kyrios Lykoi: Brumaire has attempted to teach his nephew archery, whilst learning himself.
Grace D'Angelo: He had a one night stand with Grace and knocked her up, resulting in Dreyma Moineau. In July 2014, Grace sent Brumaire to Shiloh, revealing the existence of his daughter Dreyma.
Sparrow:Brumaire is generally not fond of Sparrow and does not view her as family, due to her constant absences and lack of commitment to the family. No attempt to form any bond has been made on either party, although he is dispositioned to dislike her because she just ignores his existence back.
Corrixor: Sparring Sparred with at least three separate characters. [3]?
Munire: Fortification Brumaire fortified Inferni's defenses against an invasion by learning how to and crafting crude arrows. (Thread)
Hasta Pura: Retirement Awarded to a "warrior" (may be a literal warrior or a spy, scout, etc) of exceptional skill who has retired from their profession. [4]?

History
His father Marcel caught the eye of his mother Lydia, a young female coy-dog who absolutely adored and worshipped him. Their mating resulted in Brumaire, Nivosus and Frimaire. However, his mother's health began to die and she ultimately died of illness shortly after the litter was weaned. Following their mother, Frimaire died too and Marcel rejected Nivosus due to the pups unnatural eyes, assuming that he too was infected. Taking Brumaire only, Brum was placed with foster parents alongside Dartmouth, but Marcel taught him various life lessons such as how to hunt and fight. Unfortunately, Brumaire was often neglected in favour of his older half-brother Dartmouth, and when Marcel needed someone to go to Nova Scotia to spy, he chose Dartmouth over him.
Despite how one may assume, he didn't grow to hate Dartmouth nor did he resent his father for lack of affection, instead he admired his brother whom their father placed so much faith into and strived to improve himself and gain his fathers respect. Which often lead to the young Brumaire encountering sticky situations where upon he allowed his mouth to run off a little too much; although the less noble skills his father had taught him aided the lad in getting out of such situations.
Growing up he was the typical youth, participating in every substance and illicit thing he could get his nose into, he attempted to experience anything and everything as quickly as possible, growing bored of such things over time and becoming a rather mellowed out adult; whilst still retaining his ever sharp tongue.
Now that he is capable of surviving on his own, he wishes to experience more of the world, to encounter the rest of his family and meet more people and make the most out of his life, rather then sitting around waiting for his father's approval; although part of him hopes his strike for independence would gain said approval.
Gathering information, he is headed to Nova Scotia in an attempt to track down relatives (In particular Darthmouth) he believes to reside there.
