3) Characteristics:

◾Personality: Cocky, arrogant and self assured. Rufus is boastful and attention grabbing (and seeking), and dismissive of those he believes to be weaker or lesser than him. He doesn't consciously think it, but subconsciously believes himself to be unkillable. He wants to be someone people can look up to and a hero for the entire world.

◾Background: Born late to his parents, Rufus was the long-desired only child. He grew up in Vacuo, away from large communities of humans and so was never subjected to the same discrimination other Faunus were. His parents did everything they could to shield him from the hate others could have for their kind, and always told him that he was important, the strongest and could do whatever he wanted when he grew up. They lavished him with praise and affection, spoiling him quite rotten as a child. Other members of their community exacerbated his cockiness and arrogance by making him the role model for other children in his age group to strive towards. He decided to become a hunter to continue being a role model for people - only on a larger scale than just his small community.

4) Combat info:

◾Position/Class:

◾Landing strategy: Dig his weapons into whatever surrounds him to slow his descent. If nothing is around to grab, he'll try to attract flying Grimm to slow his landing with his Semblance. Failing that, he'll activate his Aura and deal with the blow when he gets to it.

◾Weapon:

◾Name: (include translation if applicable) Mahana Thaba (Great Claws)

◾Wielder: Rufus Tenné

◾Maker/Smith: Rufus Tenné

◾Type: (special weapon-style name, eg how Crescent Rose is a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe, or HCSS) Telescoping Clawed Gauntlets

◾Weapon Derivation: (what inspired the weapon)

◾Form 1: A pair of fully articulated fingered gauntlets. Each finger extends past the tip of Rufus's finger by an inch, sharpened on both sides to make a small, thin blade. The thumb is a separate piece that doesn't shift and is the same length as Rufus's thumb and has a sharp tip but no blades on the sides. The back of the hand is covered by a plate that connects onto another piece designed to protect the wrist from blows. Attached to the wrist are small canisters for dust. The parts are connected to a pair of black gloves.

◾Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: (How it looks when not in use) Each of the four finger telescope backwards towards the knuckles, creating brass knuckles with the extended blade sitting over the first part of Rufus's finger. The thumb doesn't change shape.

◾Features/Capabilities: (special functions like dust channelling capacity, alternate firing modes that do not cause a change in shape) Capable of channelling dust along the finger-blades for elemental strikes. ◾Usage: (how the wielder uses it in combat; i.e. summary of fighting style) Fast paced slashes and grabs, digging his claws into his enemy as he throws them around, quite often slamming his opponents into the ground or surrounding objects (trees, buildings, rocks, etc)

◾Planned/Possible Upgrades: Ranged capabilities, instead of being a pure melee weapon

◾Semblance: Taunt; he flexes his Aura and draws the attention of those surrounding him. Can't control the type of attention he grabs; he will draw angry attention from someone frustrated, etc. Grimm will focus on attacking him, and in large groups it can overwhelm him.

◾Fighting style: He charges in first, despite whatever plans his teammates may have made, flexing his aura almost subconsciously to draw the enemy to him. His attacks are fast-past swipes and grabs, throwing his enemies around and into objects in his surrounding or even each other.

5) Trivia:

◾Relationships: He loves his parents dearly, but can be dismissive of their concerns in his self-assuredness. He can turn people away with his cockiness and arrogance, and annoys his teammates.

His team leader actively dislikes him, believing him to be nothing more than a disturbing annoyance, and will quite often purposefully leave him out of any plans made by the team. His other two team mates tolerate him for his strength, but don't actively try to get to know either the Captain or Rufus, preferring to stay out of the conflict between the two. Being a role model, he tries to do what is right for others and they often are grateful to him but don't particularly like him because of his arrogant attitude.

◾Notes: Based off Narcissus, the man who loved himself so much that when he saw his reflection in a pool of water, he fell in love with himself and drowned.
