Description

Appearance

Brummen stands over six feet tall and has dark brown hair and green eyes. He is often seen in armor, but even when not, he is always armed, keeping his longsword perpetually by his side. While some find him rather intimidating, the women of Riddleport find him irresistibly attractive, a fact that perplexes him.

Personality

Brummen is fairly easy-going -- not easily offended and quick to smile. Initially, he was rather shy and bumbling around women, not needing much to provoke a deep blush to his face. More recently, however, he's gained a certain confidence, even going so far as to flirt with certain women. In combat situations, Bru, as a defender, tends to be more cautious, generally taking time to make decisions or deferring to the decisions of those in his party. He does not focus on his damage output, but rather on how he can protect his friends during battle, often giving them cover to hide behind or outright taking hits for them if he believes them to be more badly or easily hurt than himself.

Brummen is a defender from the obscure city of Chanson, located in Hyphantonar. Second son of Lord Klein, leader of Chanson and former adventurer himself, young Brummen's future seemed to be set toward a peaceful existence pursuing his own interests.

Early one summer, Brummen's next younger sister and closest friend, Arien, discovered a mysterious note in her pocket summoning her to her own adventure. Off she went -- alone, and only informing their oldest sister of her intentions. Sent to find and retrieve her, Bru left Chanson shortly thereafter and headed toward the Green Arbor. Although he found news of his sister there, she herself had continued on her adventure. While awaiting her return, Brummen met Ma'neha, a Kin'Tuk adventurer who convinced him to join the Hunter's Guild. The two joined with Mu and Jenara to attend The Vena Summer Festival.

Riddleport

In gratitude for using his newfound magic to help him recover gemstones from beneath the Gold Goblin, Katsu gave Brummen the gemstone of fire to have placed in his sword, for a perpetual Sun Metal Blade. Later that day, Sameritha Beldusk set the gem into Brummen's longsword, giving it the fire quality.

Of all the members of their adventuring family, Brummen and Mu have been together the longest. For this reason, Brummen considers Mu one of his closest friends, giving him his full trust and also looking to him for tactical leadership.
