| Bio: |  CHARACTER Name: Rufus ShinRa Age: 21 Gender: Male Series: Final Fantasy VII Background: Rufus comes into the story of Final Fantasy, chronologically in Before Crisis as the Vice-president of Shin-Ra and as an "anonymous benefactor" of AVALANCHE. Providing both funding and valuable information to the group of Eco-terrorists, which helped them succeed in their early goals. However, despite his actions, Rufus had no real interest in the Planet or the cause given by AVALANCHE. Instead he merely sought to use the group toward his own ends of usurping the power and position held by his father. He manages to successfully play both parts until being uncovered as a traitor and being captured by the Turks, whom decide to use him against his father in order to save one of their own. Despite his actions against the company, Rufus is not stripped of his position, nor is he killed for being a traitor. Instead he is shipped off to Junon and placed under confinement there, though the official statement given as to his abrupt absence is that he has been sent on an 'extended assignment' overseas. Rufus remains in Junon under this enforced exile until a call is sent from Midgar via Palmer requesting aid during the attack on the Shin-Ra Headquarters by Sephiroth. Arriving in Midgar, he soon learns that nearly everyone unfortunate enough to be in the building has been slain by the insane swordsman. Including President ShinRa. Upon learning this, he takes immediate command of the company and assumes the title of President, however he demands that he is not 'President ShinRa' but President Rufus. As if that wasn't enough to differentiate him from his father, he delivers a speech to Cloud and company that he plans to run the company differently than his old man ran it. Stating that even though his father's way of ruling through money and false promises seemed to have been working, he saw no need to waste money on people when fear would work just as well in ruling them. Shortly after this speech he engaged in a short fight against Cloud Strife along side a creature called 'Dark Nation', armed only with a double-barreled sawed-off shotgun. After Dark Nation falls to Cloud, Rufus escapes the building via helicopter. Returning once the building has been cleaned up, Rufus decides that he will go after Sephiroth. Not because Sephiroth killed his father, but because Sephiroth is after the Promised Land and the rest of the world in general, things which Rufus desired for himself and his company. AVALANCHE proved to be a continued thorn in his side during this, despite orders for them to be dealt with. After Meteor had been summoned by Sephiroth, Rufus indirectly aids AVALANCHE by destroying both Diamond WEAPON and the barrier blocking access to the region in which Sephiroth has hidden himself. Unfortunately just as Rufus gives the order to have the cannon fired, Diamond WEAPON launches its own attack on Midgar, an attack which hits on-level with the President's office, from which Rufus is watching the events play out. Due to the damage caused by this, no one can reach his office to find a body, so he is thusly presumed dead. Personality: On the surface, Rufus appears to be nothing much more than an arrogant spoiled brat with a cold and callous streak of cruelty. Anyone thinking however that is all there is to the young man will be in for a rather rude awakening once they've actually attempted to go up against him. Fearless and seemingly untouchable, Rufus knows his place in life and works it to his greatest advantage. Because of this he knows how to go about getting what he wants usually and when he starts after something he sees it through with sheer near single-minded determination, letting next to nothing stand in his way of getting it. If someone is unfortunate or stupid enough to do so, he will either seek to work them into his plans or remove them from his path will little or no mercy or hesitation on his part. Rufus also has a somewhat dry, sarcastic sense of humor which while it doesn't appear often is definitely there waiting to be used at any given time, first during his meeting with Cloud in which he quips that he surmises that their fight 'means they won't be friends', and second in telling one of those working under him to stop it with the 'stupid horse laugh'. Powers/Abilities: Beyond his abilities in taking control of a given situation, Rufus has shown skill in using subterfuge (and rather enjoying it while in the process of using it would appear) and gaining loyalty of those working for him despite any abuse he might personally deliver upon them. He displays obvious skill with firearms, as well as considerable upper-body strength in the fact he casually uses a double-barreled shotgun one-handed in his fight against Cloud. | |||||||||
