Personality:
Bruno is an introvert who's gift made him the center of attention more often than he felt comfortable with. In his attempts to meet the expectations placed on him but also to hide the toll his visions took on him, Bruno took up an overly exaggerated eccentric behavior to hide behind whenever someone or something got too far under his skin. He isn't a very convincing liar or actor, however, yet still takes to try and distract from himself in strange, sometimes goofy and almost desperate ways.

He's a private person and prefers to be left alone, but at the same time cares a lot about his family despite the bleak picture his relatives have taken to paint of him ever since his retreat into the house's walls ten years ago. Living like that for so long with only his rats as company hasn't done him too well, feeding his anxieties and superstitious nature. He compulsively performs little rituals believed to bring good fortune, such as knocking on wood and throwing salt over his shoulder. At the same time he avoids actions meant to bring bad luck. As he hops over the cracks in Casita's walls, he even recites a little healing verse - usually sung to children - to the house.

Like many members of his family, Bruno is very creative. Aside from assorted stuff, his hideout shows drawing of his rats in costumes he designed for his little stage shows which play out in his little, almost TV-like cardboard stage for which he created different set pieces. Interesting to note here, is the distinct lack of electricity within the town and how it is entirely cut off from the outside world. Yet Bruno's shows portray things like a popular football game, a game show and a telenovella, neither of which would be known within his village. The only official answer given is that 'He can see into the future.' Which not only implies that his visions can entail entirely random topics he may not even understand at all or have any reference to, but also that he has drawn inspiration from them to keep himself occupied.

Years of having been blamed for everything bad happening and not being able to meet the high expectations placed on every member of his family have also left Bruno tired and moody when he isn't anxious and very well willing and capable to spit out a snappy remark to verbalize his frustrations once they hit his limit. Even then Bruno remains on the tame side and shies away from actual confrontations. Violence isn't something this man is capable of.


Abilities:
Bruno can see the future. This happens via visions he doesn't have much control over and tend to be difficult to interpret. If he focuses, he can willingly look into a specific future and try to see the potential outcome, but these can also happen entirely unprompted unless he suppresses them at the cost of heavy migraines. To deal with the often mentally and even physically taxing nature of his visions, Bruno added a little ritual to them, which isn't necessary for his visions to work, but rather helps him prepare himself and focus. Even then his visions tend to take on rather cryptic forms, making them hard to impossible to fully interpret. Bruno will try, but a lot of it is guess work and while his prophecies tend to turn out correct, his interpretations aren't without flaws.

Ingame, Bruno will try his best to hide his unwanted gift. In many ways, Bruno is his own nerf, which is incredibly helpful. Still obviously will require a permission post.
