Yeah, it's a pretty unforgivable mistake to ask if Ro is based on Rufus. For one thing, Rufus already means red so it wouldn't make sense to change his name. I'll admit is a funny coincidence they both even have the green eyes. However, RT can drop hints of allusions to other more modern works in the form of shoutouts at any time without screwing the original allusion. We'll have to keep tabs to see if Roman ever shows any strong ties to Rufus. It's perfectly possible RT would do this or that there are plans by Monty to be rendered posthumously. After all, he was a fan of the Final Fantasy series.

Here are some possible shoutouts we can look out for: Roman partners up with a cat (actually, Rufus used a shotgun similar in appearance to Adam's Wilt and Blake is a cat Faunus, so...), should this occur, bonus points if he escape by air transport; Roman says something about his "old man" or specifically, "I don't do things like my old man" gets bonus points; Roman says something like "A little fear will control the common people"; Roman gets caught in an explosion during a larger firefight; Roman tells someone to "stop that ridiculous horse laugh"; Roman suggests a televised execution; someone else suggests Roman "likes to make speeches just like his old man"; Roman uses the phrase "what a crew" in reference to a group (bonus points if he shrugs); Roman needs to borrow something and by showing up at this someone's place, he gets their hopes up about something else...

I could probably come up with more, but the length of that list is ridiculous as it is considering it's unlikely any of it will happen.
