Kal'mera Broun, known as Broun, is a character in PARTIZAN. They are a freelancer and a smuggler. Their playbook is the Technician.
Appearance
They have a long neck and high ears with multiple piercings. They don't have eyebrows, and they occasionally wear face paint. They look distinctively "alien," with high, sharp cheekbones. Their skin is slightly iridescent like fish scales.
They don't have a facecast, but according to Ali, if they were in a live action show, their part should go to someone with a good condescending eye roll who makes "your best friend does your makeup and is mean to you about it" TikTok videos.[1]
At the beginning of PARTIZAN, their hair is shoulder-length and burgundy, tied in a dutch braid. During the timeskip after "The Red Light", they'd shaved their head, and over the next few months it grows back a little, but the iridescence of their scalp is visible.
They often wear plated hoodies, overalls, and/or sweatpants (like Genji's in Overwatch 2). While on the boat in "The Seaside Town of Obelle", they're wearing a sweater and overalls. At the Summer Passage of Arms, they're wearing a white cropped jacket with gold buttons over a red unitard bathing suit with the Millennium Break symbol on the back under the jacket. In "The Grand Premiere", they have a whole outfit: a light leather suit jacket (like Richter's in Total Recall), a chiffon sheer white buttondown with embroidery of hands holding fans (like designs by the tattoo artist lizlizkimkim), lavender suspenders, dark navy formal shorts, and Teva style strappy sandals.
Personality
Broun is very distrustful of others; because of this, they preemptively push people away, or treat them as tools.
Drive
- Own a spaceship.
- Find a future for Millennium Break off of Partizan.
History and Involvement
Broun comes from Apostolos and grew up in Orion as a teen. They don't identify with their homeland, and prefer to use they/them instead of "kal" pronouns.
Broun was sent to Partizan for their job at Adamant Arms and Artifice, where they designed missiles and other explosives. They were laid off from the job and have been stuck on Partizan since, doing freelance repairs and designs and smuggling things, as well as identifying weapons.
Relationships
Beliefs
- Thisbe is capable of more, and if I can get her to trust me, I can use that.
- Valence has good connections, and hopefully if I impress them they'll lead me to people with deep pockets.
- Thisbe wants offworld too, and I want to know what she'd spend to do it.
- Valence is someone who keeps their word.
- I can count on Milli; I need to remember to watch her back if she's watching mine.
- Kalar will prove useful if they don't break anything important. OR Kalar is naïve and they're trying to endanger their family.
- Working well with Phrygian will improve my reputation.
- Milli is chill and dependable. I hope she thinks the same about me.
- Milli has helped me at my most vulnerable. I’ll help her with whatever she needs.
Bond (Kingdom)
- I need Valence to keep their promise to me but I don’t believe they can.
Possessions
- Bing 32 (floating drone)
Mech
Broun's mech is the Three Cheers!. It's humanoid, with large pointed shoulders like lobster claws; these shoulders have missiles inside them. It also has a pointed chest.
This mech was bought from or given to them by the company they worked for, Adamant Arms and Artifice, but Broun replaced the armor plates, giving it a patchworked look that advertises their skill.
The plates are replaceable, and Broun has their own screwdrivers to replace them so they don't get stolen.
