Trainer Profile Character Name: Rufus Rudiger Nickname: Roof Gender: Male Age: 21 Trainer Class: Pokemon trainer Height:5'9" Weight:146 lbs Hair Color & Style: A rich, dye-enhanced sunflower blond, cut mostly medium short and styled back neatly with a few strands falling into his face on his left, enough to be noticeable but not so much as to obscure vision. All of it seems to be cut about level with the nape of his neck. His natural color is a significantly duller ash-blond. His usual, neat if somewhat impractical hairstyle does not stay without much effort and continual adjustment, and should he be caught in a windstorm doubtless much of it would fall into his face. Eyes: Rufus's eyes are a dull blue that appears grey in warm lighting, and slightly large. They are bright, of clear health and are usually narrowed slightly. Clothing/Accessories: Usually, Rufus prefers to dress to impress. Whether it's a snow-white suit or an expensive pastel-colored dress shirt he always brings a spare if he has one and doesn't like to get himself dirty, although if he knows he needs to or can afford to do so he won't usually react poorly if his outfit is not in perfect repair. He does not like to wear much bold color, preferring black, white, grey and some subdued shades of blue when he can, but if he knows he is in for a long walk or something of the sort, dull blue jeans and a plain buttoned shirt will suffice. General Appearance: Rufus is a broad-shouldered man who seems thinly stretched on his frame. He has little in terms of either fat or muscle and a slightly feminine shape to his jawline. His head is slightly small in proportion to his body, he has a straight, narrow nose and thin lips. His ears protrude slightly and are round, partially this effect is created by the hair brushed behind it. Rufus is pale-skinned, with few freckles or other such marks, and has a youthful appearance. He has bad habits with posture although in public it is often suppressed by his vanity, his posture seems largely dependent upon the tallest unfamiliar person in the room with him seemingly enjoying the looming, imposing quality of slouching toward or even over someone at a height disadvantage. He likes to surround himself with fierce-looking pokemon and dark-colored, catlike or doglike pokemon are his favorites. He usually bears either a grim glare or confident, inattentive smile, often the latter, depending on his mood. Hometown: Durskrim Town, west Godai Personality: Rufus is a man who likely wouldn't be able to answer this question. He is vain and likes to think that he leaves a solid impression, but acknowledges that he has not come far in improving is assets living, financial or material. Rufus is calm and confident, rarely if ever losing his cool when confronted directly especially by strangers but is much, much less tolerant of those whom he interacts with frequently. He believes in guiding with a firm hand, in allowing fear to drive both allies and enemies, but knows that a reputation must be built through actions and words, not merely willing oneself to be notorious or to appear imposing. Rufus is of a pragmatic, cynical nature and sees pokemon more as tools than as equals, although his outlook on other people is not particularly better. He doesn't let others get too close to him emotionally and likes to make it very clear that if he considers one a friend, they are either a direct advantage and being used by him, or he simply takes pleasure in their company. He is determined never to marry or get into any sort of permanent relationship if he can help it. He can be very warm and friendly if he wants to, but he never gives out free handouts, considering gifts to be an investment. He likes to joke around and throw idle insults, and even to receive them if with someone he is familiar with but knows to stop if either side seems to be going a bit far. Bold and with a strong sense of ambition he loves to travel, and although he states he doesn't care about nature, he seems to like wandering through gardens and wildflowers alike and appreciates beauty. Rufus is not thrifty, and spares no expense in achieving a desired goal. He has issues with loyalty and commitment, but in friends and in his pokemon he values loyalty above almost all else, with intellect and appearance as close seconds and thirds. It is doubtless his favorite pokemon are houndoom, and he wishes to have one someday. If the world were as Rufus sees it, everyone would have plots within plots within plots. It takes some convincing for him to consider anyone honest. Rufus's views on history is that it is there to be learned from, not dwelled on. Tradition has no value if it hampers progress and silly little superstitions should be avoided if they become expensive. Rufus is fond of fire as long as it is controlled, because he likes it's appearance and has multiple fond memories of camping or having marshmallow parties with his childhood friends. He prefers night to day but would rather not be caught outside in the dark, for although he likes the dark and the night sky, how it can keep those suitably camouflaged from view, and how there's usually fewer people about, it carries dangers to him for those very reasons. He is sentimental although he tries to keep it from showing, and on a peaceful night out sometimes he'll forget his usual self-importance and his keeping-of-distance and allow himself to simply enjoy life with or without his friends and/or pokemon. He has no pity for those stuck in the past, and if someone is acting useless he will often question their authority. He does not hold himself to the same standards as others in terms of usefulness, and is selfish. Rufus is low-energy and calm but usually very alert and ready to take action at any time, whether that action be to correct a problem or to get up and complain about it. Rufus Rudiger is not religious. Rufus's alignment is lawful neutral, leaning toward dark. History: Rufus grew up to two relatively wealthy parents who until recently owned a small chain of restaurants which has in total six locations. His mother traveled a lot more than his father, but sent him gifts and postcards on occasion, and usually came home for his birthday, on the second of may. His father had many friends and although few were mutual, he was able to strike up acquaintances that were friends of his fathers friends. In personality he took after his father, even at a tender age he usually liked to be in control of everything, and liked to pretend to be grumpy when he really wasn't. Despite this he and his father never really got along well, and for the most part they ignored eachother. The way his father saw it, he was to provide for the little leech and give him things. Rufus's father was never the nurturing sort, and although he gave the lad for the most part whatever toys he wanted, signed him up for classes and took him to any number of events throughout his youth they never really bonded in any meaningful way. Rufus was much more fond of his mother, who was of a more nurturing and patient way. From the time he could walk and talk he had some fascination with an ampharos that had been in the family for a long time, and through interacting with the pokemon he began to learn how to interact with it, and through following it about he got himself into trouble on more than a few occasions. It was at this point, when Rufus was four, that his father decided to hire a nanny for him. He was quite the handful then, having learned to be clever and to act like nothing had happened when things go wrong, and although his father did not care much for him he had become a topic of much conversation between him and other parents he knew and spoke to. It wouldn't do for the family's reputation to let the child get himself hurt especially if it appeared that no one was trying to prevent it. The first person hired was of the baby-talking, patronizing way and Rufus would have absolutely none of it. After about a month, he went up to his father's room and made it very clear and explained very carefully why he didn't like this one and what measures he would take if this wasn't corrected very soon. While his reasoning was very simple, and he exaggerated some areas quite a bit, his father was somewhat surprised that a mere child, particularly his own, acted in the way that Rufus did. He was impressed if only that Rufus defied what he would expect from someone his age. Rufus's father had not evaluated the personality of the caretaker he had hired when he had employed her very carefully, and thus he had not realized until the next time they met. He agreed to pay more attention to how the woman acted that day, and found that she was indeed a very annoying person to the both of them. She was promptly replaced. Rufus was satisfied with this arrangement, now that he was allowed to do something other than color and play silly, unintelligent games. *Note to self, start here when back!* He was popular among older trainers, who liked his ambition and fierce, yet controlled attitude, and was presented with an umbreon who was being retired as a birthday gift, at the tender age of six. Learning a bit from them and watching them with their beasts he developed an air of sureness and command about him and sometimes he was even allowed to give commands to the pokemon of those who took a shine to him. Rufus pretended to like his father and wish to take after him, but knew that he would not, as his father was too dependent on the literal taste preferences of others and had almost no control over his own business, which was later sold. Rufus got a full education, and was lucky enough to find a public school close to his place of residence. Several of his neighbors went to the same place and he walked home with some of his childhood friends, although they stuck with him more because his father gave good gifts than because they liked him. One of these families were going through tough times and eventually had to sell their house and move in with Rufus's family, essentially forcing him to share a room with a single mother's son. Luckily they got along, and because the boy's mother liked to walk there was the added bonus that she would meet them partway home, and bring Rufus's umbreon, which he had since named 'Dusk Note'. Once Rufus became a certified trainer, his father seemed to lose a lot of respect for him, and as he grew older their quarrels grew more severe. Dusk Note had her range of lasting problems from her time as a fighter, and although she was very loyal to Rufus, she was reluctant to harm anything that did not threaten her trainer. Rufus wanted his pokemon to fight, however, and knew that an acquaintance of his coveted her, wanting to use the umbreon to breed eevees. Rufus made an unusual trade that he later regretted, giving up his companion of years for pick if the box of any of his newly-hatched shinxes, which was what the breeder primarily dealt in. Rufus inspected the choices he was given, and eventually took a male hatchling which he named 'Moreno', after one of his great grandparents' old ampharos. The shinx was wild and fierce, and it had green eyes, and a tiny, straight orange tattoo beneath each and following the lower edge of the socket that read, from the right eye to the left, #403-05 --- 199C2Rixa, information hidden in the two thin lines for identification by the breeder as a sort of brand. His father did not approve of his trade and as their relationship plunged from bad to worse, he was not generous when it was Rufus's turn to leave home, giving him the bare minimum to give him a chance and keeping most of the youth's possessions. He was later notified that Dusk Note had passed away, and grieved for her briefly.

Hey Sylv! Great work with this! The extra effort really paid off! The only thing that needs editing is Shinx's move list. We label the moves by the levels they are learned rather than number them. I'll still give you approval 1/2 while you change that, however ^^ |

Heya Slyv! I am so excited to see Rufus in action. I really love how detailed and realistic he is. So kudos to you, friend! ~The only things I would fix are small nitpicky ones. Like your Height should be 5'9" (missing the second pair of quotes) -- Same with the Height on your Shinx ~Please put Durskrim Town, West Godai (you were missing the town) ~Delete the trainer AP thing in parentheses. ~Also, please capitalize the moves in Moreno's moveset. Other than that, make the simple changes and you'll receive your full approval! Yay! (Riff's 1/2 Still stands)

Alrighty Syl, because you’ve asked, I’ll assist in furthering your character so Wremn can give you your last approval - For Rufus’ ”Clothing [...]”, what does he wear during cold and hot weather? I’m just looking for a few sentences or so on this. Let’s zoom into Rufus’ ”Personality”. Although I love him to bits, constantly ask yourself “why” and “how” when you review this one more time. First off, what does the first sentence mean? What can’t he answer? Why? It would appear the second sentence answered it for him? In what ways is he vain? Words can easily describe us, but there are so many variations - what are examples of being vain? In what ways does Rufus himself leave a solid impression? Is it through positive or negative outlines? It sounds like he’s not the materialistic type, so why? How does being vain, leaving an impression, and not improving his “assets living, financial or material” have an affect on him psychologically? For example I’m not materialistic for certain objects because I fear an attachment to these since objects to me are quite symbolic on my being in real life. So what about Rufus? I love how you wrote his beliefs towards the end and especially in your second paragraph, so surround that to the other traits of his. However towards the middle and ending of his ”Personality” there’s still a lot of “why”s that can be applies. For what reason would he never get married? What about that notion makes him say “no thanks” to that idea and why can’t he separate between that should push come to shove? Especially since he knows his own boundaries of having problems with loyalty and commitment yet values it in others? Why is there a start contrast there? What is psychologically going through his mind that he yearns it from others where as he can not give it himself? There’s a very simple answer for this one but I’ll let you figure it out! What other emotions does he feel that allows him to know whether or not he wants or does not want something especially for someone who has a “pragmatic, cynical nature”? You’ve did a great job elaborating on some of his aspects too but they aren’t his key aspects, and if anything minor - so focus on what makes Rufus, well Rufus with details and elaboration. The last two sentences are quite random if I might add haha. The same goes with Rufus’ ”History”. With so much written for his Personality, I’d expect the same if not more of his background. Don’t be afraid to really dish out the details what other events, obstacles, and experiences Rufus faced that allowed him to expand on his cognitive and personality developmental growth to make him who you described in his ”Personality” today! Through each stage of development how did Rufus feel throughout everything? What solidfied and what emotions did he go through in his conscious mind that made him grasp at each trait and put it into his being? For example, how did Rufus feel about his parents? What was the relationship between them if they were so busy? Did he not question why his friends had their parents with them and he seldom saw them? Let’s talk about Rufus and not his father. This History is about Rufus. How was Rufus’ childhood? What did he do? What did he see? How did he feel? Who was popular among older trainers? How did Rufus at the age of 6 express those traits? What did he do? What ambition and “fierce yet controlled attitude” - what does that even mean? How did a child who has yet to quantify life outside his own world show these mature traits? What was Rufus exposed to, to have gained these things? There’s not much in his history, if any at all that allowed for Rufus to develop as a character. It only talked about what he did and not how he became this individualistic person. In what ways did he observe the Umbreon that he was allowed to equate it to an “air of sureness and command” in his mind? What else happened in his childhood? What about his teenage years? What is a “full education”? Those vary from country to country and of course from school to school. What did he learn? How did he fare? What friends did he make? Did he even have friends at all? Why or why not? How did other people’s misfortune affect Rufus? What was the significance of any of that? How did Rufus feel when he heard that his childhood friends were only in it for the gifts? Did it change or solidify his perspective on life? If so, did he ever get out of that view? Did any other views warp and change? Goodness so many questions! How did Rufus become a certified trainer? What obstacles did he go through to become this? How did Rufus feel with these quarrels? How did these quareels even start? Why? What for? How did it change Rufus on a psychological level? How did any of these events compliment his Personality? I know it sounds like a lot, I’m only asking for some more elaboration onto his ”Personality”! The most you should focus on is Rufus’ ”History” as you must remember that it should be nearly all 21 years of his life and how his History compliments his Personality as you’ve listed. It’s not bad at all, but it’s lacking much needed realistic substance to make Rufus a more wholesome character! Good luck! ♥ |
