==Description==

If you come into the Main Bar at any time on any day, there's a small chance you'll run into a roguish red-furred Ninetales on the Swing Shift, swaggering about the place with his British accent.  From pointy muzzle to scruffy black mane and tailtips, he might be serving drinks, (or begging for them,) lording over the place, (or cleaning it) and getting into narrtively satisfying capers (or skulking about, getting himself into trouble.) 

What isn't immediately obvious is that October is the residential Interdimensional Adventurer Dilettante.  A hedonist and troublemaker, but October is known as a hero on twenty worlds.  
(He's also wanted by various authorities on well over two hundred and that's not even counting the interplanetery alliances.)

October came to [[Café Plaisir]] on hearing rumours that a good time was to be had there, leading to the usual string of misunderstandings, careless troublemaking and caperish adventurism that has seen him run a burn on worlds far and wide.  With quick wit and a good sense of when to make himself scarce, he's (nearly) always managed to keep ahead of authorities, particularly when his trump card is an emergency teleport out of the universe entirely.  

Right up until Café Plaisir, right up until [[Firenze]].  For the first time, the consequences of his actions caught up to him.  For the first time, he was made to make good on what he'd done.  For the first time, he was forced to work menial jobs and settle in a single location on a single word for more than the maximum of two weeks it previously took for him to get bored with a scenario.  Thus imprisoned, October began to discover what life was like for normal individuals who aren't dimension-travelling dilletantes.   He even began to make friends and started to find it increasingly difficult to leave.  Though to this day he's never really questioned how Firenze managed to pursue him back to his Tower... 

October is unpredictable, unreliable and prone to creating chaos wherever he goes and whatever he does.  He isn't tremendously powerful as a Pokemon, but his experience makes him incredibly resourceful and used to fighting at a disadvantage.  Which is good for him, because his staggering pride and overconfidence as both an Adventurer and Ninetales often leads him to bite off far more than even a Ninetales can chew.  Fortunately, powerful vulpine hindquarters are good for more than pouncing...

==Sexuality==

October is a male-preferred bisexual, a mostly-dominant switch with a love of rough, feral fun, with strong streaks of sadism and masochism (though he'd deny the latter.  And the fact that he's a switch, despite the evidence.)  

Generally preferring smaller quadrupedal ferals, he has a particular love of mounting Eeveelutions and has racked up an impressive tally.  Though as with his adventuring capers, his prideful, fiery nature often gives him a tendency towards biting off more than he can chew...  He has recently gotten into trouble attracting powerful Battle Pokemon who are only too happy to indulge his, "To top me you have to conquer me!" rule.  

He also has an extreme weakness to other Ninetales, which he respects greatly as a pinnacle of vulpinity.  Considering himself an off-coloured imitation of the species, he places them on a pedestal above himself from which they, male or female, can - and often do - easily leap upon him from and take advantage of the usually-dominant Fox.  This goes double for Firenze, the huge and magnificent General Supervisor of Plaisir who was the first to bring October to heel.  For Firenze, the usually fiercely-independent October will do nearly anything.

==Storyline Summary==
===First Appearance===

October first appeared in October's Jaunt part 1, where he first visits the Café, gets caught out trying to cheat the bar for free drinks and is caught after a minor caper with some minor damages.  This leads to the rest of the Jaunt series, which can fairly be described as a series of minor-novellas covering his struggle to adapt to life at the Café as part of the quiet and dreary Morning shift performing menial labour.   Learning friendship and responsibility along the way, the series culminates in a confrontation with an antagonist in the shape of [[Eclipse]], a powerful Mightyena who represents the very worst the Café has to offer...

===Further Appearances===

After Jaunt, October and several of the Café's best are taken on the road across the America of Café Plaisir's universe on the Firenze-lead series, Café Plaisir: Road Trip.  Whilst taking more of a secondary role, October generally gets involved with the seedier side of society including many confrontations with his friend [[Chai]]'s former gang, the now out-of-control [[Dark Strays]].  Generally, as Firenze interacts with upper society and the lighter side of things, October takes the darker, dirtier path, dealing with danger as Firenze deals with dialogue.  The dark to Firenze's light.  The Riker to his Picard.

October has also appeared in a multitude of short stories by different authors.

===Current State===

After the Road Trip, October has returned to Café Plaisir and is currently embroiled in the Year of October's storyline, wherein life goes on at Café Plaisir though with many changes in the works, both personally and professionally for October and his friends and colleagues and for the business as a whole...

He has recently moved from the Morning Shift to the Swing Shift and is now a part time, peak time and emergency worker brought in as needed.  As such, he is - as ever - to be found wherever there's trouble.  

==Breeding Information==

Since he first started working for Plaisir, October has been under pursuit by [[Clarice]] to provide a sample for Pro² Creations as part of his contract.  Not only did he fail to opt out of it, he was encouraged not to (much as he wasn't paying attention as this was said) due to the high potential profitability of the sale of his unusual fur colour genes.  It is a matter of pride for October that despite multiple attempts, some quite underhanded, he still has not provided this sample.  

Unbeknownst to Clarice, October has always been infertile, no matter what worst he was in or whatever form he took.  Not only has he no reason to doubt this, he has started selling his services (for favours) to female fellow employees beset by the urges of heat.  

He also prefers anal, anyway.
