Brume
★★★★★★
/Beast/DPS Dynamo Support Channel Array
Introduction
Brume is a 6-star Beast character in Reverse: 1999. Brume's role is DPS Dynamo Support Channel Array. Damage type: Mental.
On the combined Reverse: 1999 tier list Brume is S tier, 13th of the 129 characters ranked, from where 2 community tier lists put Brume.
Other Beast characters in Reverse: 1999: Alexios, Anjo Nala, Bunny Bunny, Centurion, Darley Clatter, Desert Flannel and 18 more.
What Brume does
A Mental DPS that stockpiles Thermoelectric Conversion from every source it can: 5 a round, more for each 20 Dynamo the team transfers, more for Burn applied. 
Testing Flame gives the whole team Truth Tempered, so every allied attack stacks Disguise Dissolved on its target (double for extra actions), and the 750% Ultimate adds 10 stacks of Burn.

Stories
6"Feufeu"
A proud little dragon, its scales gleam like gemstones, its flame is hot enough to burn through any disguise—
it's just a shame its compact size makes it far less intimidating than it thinks it is.
Active and friendly by nature, it never refuses a curious pat or whatever treats it's offered.
"Dragonrider's Pauldron"
This lightweight metal pauldron is the favorite perch of the interviewee's tiny partner.
The stall owner at the Saint-Ouen flea market swore its original owner was a brave dragon-rider from the late 16th century—
but changed his story the moment he learned what the interviewee's arcanum can do. In the end, they settled on a price both sides found agreeable.
"The Gray"
The interviewee wears an unusual bracelet; its largest crystal shines with a deep, quiet blue.
Despite its outward beauty during the interview, we noticed she doesn't seem to like this piece at all.
She avoids talking about where it came from, and when asked what it means to her, a rare sadness flickers across her face.
Silent Witnesses
Their ancestors served as revered paladins under Charlemagne and, centuries later, as jewel hunters entrusted by the Sun King himself.
One recovered the royal treasures of Napoleon III lost overseas during the Revolution, and their parents supplied curiosities for the Exposition Universelle ... For reasons no one can quite explain, the calling to roam the world for the glory of France has been etched into the Tavernier bloodline.
At the end of any journey, there should be a waiting prize—
and few prizes shine brighter than gemstones. Where people's love for these radiant minerals comes from is hard to say: identity, status, power, wealth, or some blessing ... or curse. These glittering, silent witnesses have carried too many meanings.
Mounted on swords, crowns, reliquaries—they saw Charlemagne's empire thunder across Europe, then fracture into three, watched kingdoms rise and fall, and finally saw the light of enlightenment sweep away the dark as liberty and democracy took hold ...
But for those who chase these jewels, none of that truly matters.
"Diamonds, emeralds, and a bit of onyx—that's what Mom and Dad brought back this time.
They said they'll add some fine pearls and make a bracelet to take to a fair in America.
"Look, isn't it pretty?"
A Tourist's Guide to Paris
(A city map of Paris distributed by a taxi company. Many landmarks are circled with notes scribbled beside them.)
Louvre Museum
If asked about famous pieces: Venus de Milo (ancient Greek sculpture), Mona Lisa (stolen once twenty-plus years ago—thief was a museum employee).
Nearby are Tuileries Garden (nice for a walk, no entry fee) and Place de la Concorde (old execution square, but no guillotine now—just the Egyptian obelisk).
Eiffel Tower
Built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle.
Once the tallest structure in the world, until the Americans started building skyscrapers (no need to bring up).
Crowded by day, better at night. (Find Marcel—discounted tickets plus 60/40 split.)
Champs-Élysées
Quick drive from one end to the other, but most prefer walking—make sure to allow enough time.
Ends at Arc de Triomphe.
Viewing deck overlooks the whole avenue. If guests don't like walking, bring straight here—can admire carvings and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Retro Series: Antique Car Restoration Handbook
Pandora Wilson: By now, you've lived through six "Storms," haven't you?
Brume: Now that you mention it ... I suppose I have.
Pandora Wilson: You haven't kept count?
Brume: Well, it doesn't get any easier, I'll tell you that much.
Pandora Wilson: Have you experienced any trouble over the past years?
Brume: ... Nothing worth complaining about. Ms. Bouanich is a straightforward employer. Even if this job wasn't part of my original plan, traveling everywhere, seeing different places—it's been rather fun, in its own way.
Brume: Laugh if you want, but ever since I was young, I've longed to see the world someday ... In that sense, I suppose I've achieved my childhood dream—just not in the way I'd expected.
Pandora Wilson: So you haven't had a fixed place to live for years, right?
Brume: I have my Peugeot 201. Wherever I go, that's home.
Brume: Though, since you bring it up, I suppose it does come with its difficulties. The old girl's been with me for years—which comes with plenty of quirks, of course. It can all be quite nightmarish when I need a repair on the road.
Brume: The mechanics either tell me, "We don't have parts for antique cars," or they open the hood and freeze, saying, "I've never seen anything built this way" ...
Brume: That's why I've started carrying around the backup parts Laplace provided me with.
I'd say my repair skills are getting rather good too. If I ever lose this job, perhaps I might make a living as a mechanic.
