|| Physical Information ||

Breed(s):  Siberian mix

Physique:  Stocky
    Although he's lost some of his baby fat since he's grown, Bruin is still on the slightly heavier side.  He's built thick naturally, with stocky muscles and broad shoulders.  His larger paws help accommodate his bigger size.  His thick fur makes him appear even larger than he really is.  Underneath it is mostly a muscular build, although his body still retains some of his youthful chubbiness.  He isn't much of a fighter, but he's the type to throw his weight around before resorting to tactics and thinking his movements through.
Pelt:  Dark, dense, plush
    Bruin's fur is very soft an plush to the touch, and is unsurprisingly dense and thick.  His fur sticks up in odd places, particularly around his neck where it forms an even thicker 'mane' of fluff around his neck and chest.  His fur has only seemed to increase in thickness as he's gotten older, although he's been able to tame it to lay somewhat flat in some areas.  The mane around his neck and chest however, remain as impossible as ever to control.  His fur is thanks to his biological father's Siberian genes.
Base color(s):  Chocolate, rich brown, tan

|| Personality ||

Bullet; Green | Positive
Bullet; Yellow | Neutral
Bullet; Red | Negative

Genuine | Kindhearted | Humorous | Slick | Selfish | Aloof

Overview:
    Overall Bruin is a friendly and outgoing young tom.  He's bubbly and sociable, and loves nothing more than chattering the day away (much to the annoyance of everyone around him).  His favorite subject of course, is himself.  When he isn't filling you in on the details of the importance of his existence, he's cracking jokes or poking fun.  Despite his eagerness to socialize, he lacks any social graces and seems to forget that he isn't the center of everyone else's world.  But despite his selfish and aloof personality, Bruin has a more genuine and gentle side to him.  Few see it unfortunately, as they are driven off by his arrogant and self-centered exterior.

Bullet; Green | Genuine
    Just like any typical young tom, Bruin is very bright, cheerful, and outgoing.  He's genuinely pleased and excited when talking with others, and loves nothing more than making friends.  His favorite activity of course is talking nonstop, much to the annoyance of others, but as he's still very young, most simply write it off as endearing -- for now anyways.  Anything and everything he does is true to his heart, and his words are often blurted out without first being properly thought through.  This makes him as honest as can be, even when it comes to things he probably shouldn't be so honest about.

Bullet; Green | Kindhearted
    As he's still young and naive, it's hard for Bruin to be anything but kind.  He like seeing others smile and prefers laughter to silence.  With his upbeat and bubbly personality, he finds it quite easy to make others grin and he goes out of his way to seek out those who could do with a smile or two.  Overall, he's a big softie and could never bring himself to be deliberately mean to another.

Bullet; Yellow | Humorous
    Above all else, Bruin seeks out fun and games.  He goes out of his way for a good laugh, and makes it his mission to keep the mood cheerful.  On the downside, his love for laughter means he hardly ever takes anything seriously.  He prefers to joke around rather than face a more grave situation or topic.  While this makes him fun to be around, it can also be somewhat of an annoyance or a downer when trying to have a legitimate conversation with him.  

Bullet; Yellow | Slick
    While not readily apparent, Bruin is a surprisingly sly young cat.  His personality seems to make him a magnet for trouble, but somehow he always seems to slip out of it.  He never seems to deliberately cause trouble, but rather, it finds him easier than most.  However, perhaps thanks to his quick thinking and sheer dumb luck, he rarely ever gets into trouble -- or simply gets off far easier than he should have.  While it seems to be a good thing for him, it often leaves others in his wake to take the fall.

Bullet; Red | Selfish
    Bruin's favorite topic is hands down himself.  He likes taking about himself, looking at his reflection, and even bragging about whatever accomplishments he thinks he has.  While he doesn't see himself above others, he can't help but turn conversations back towards himself when he isn't the center of attention.  Basically, he just likes the limelight and being recognized.  With litter mates and older siblings to compete with -- not to mention his big, important Gold-Light father -- it isn't surprising that he wants a taste of importance and recognition for himself.

Bullet; Red | Aloof
    Despite his genuine and open nature, Bruin is entirely unaware of when he's stepping on other's toes.  He is entirely out of touch with the emotions of those around him, and when his constant chattering about himself gets under someone's skin, he rarely even notices.  He assumes others simply enjoy his company and listening to stories about himself just as much as he loves sharing them.  While he isn't deliberately trying to irritate anyone, he has the unfortunate habit of doing so, much to his own unawareness.

•  Speaks rather quickly and stumbles over his words often
•  Constantly has a goofy smile or grin
•  Wiggles his butt excitedly to signify that he's about to interrupt

|| RP Example ||

Taken from a private RP from with Uriel and Aniu

It had seemed like ages since she came to Shadow Tribe with her brother, but unlike Uriel, Aniu was already used to the dark, grim caves of camp. She had always liked the dark, her pale eyes easily able to see things in the gloom, but after gaining her cherished pink smirk across her maw, designating her as one of the Shadow Tribers, the young she-cat found she loved the dimness even more. No matter how dark it seemed to get, her eyes were never without enough light to see. Even so, she disliked the unfamiliarity of the caves to a degree, and chose to stay close to her brother - although she insisted it was merely to keep him happy.

They slept peacefully, side-by-side, Aniu often listening to Uriel's soft breathing to lull herself to sleep. She'd never admit it, but the Blue-Shadow's warmth was a comfort to have, and she didn't think she'd be able to sleep without it at this point. It didn't take long for her to awake with a sudden jolt once she realized Uriel had already woken up and moved from their den. She wrinkled her nose in annoyance, quickly and quietly padding along the tunnel to get to the center of camp. Thanks to her new found abilities, sneaking in the shadows was even easier now.

It didn't take long for her to find Uriel as he did his best to scrabble over the rocks that led to the entrance of the caves. She could've laughed at his poor attempt, but with her pink smirk beginning to glow, she engulfed her paws in shadow and decided to sneak up on him instead; she was going to follow him. But as Uriel slipped, her tattoo flickered and dulled as she gasped in surprise.

"W-watch out you idiot!" Aniu hissed, leaping forward. But it was too late. Her brother tumbled down, bowling her right over in the process. Laying on the chilly ground, she flattened her ears in mild irritation; she wasn't sure what she expected. "Uri...what the hell are you even doing?"
