Name: Rufus Shinra -OWA
Age: mid 20s
Personality: Shinra, Rufus. He's young and ambitious when it comes to his father's company, hoping to rule it as soon as possible and in the way he deems suitable. He disagrees with a lot of the President's methods, believing them to be a waste of good gil. Why pay people to behave when you can force them through fear and respect? He's obviously spoiled rotten and therefore at times very cocky. Despite all this he comes off as very professional and gets his job done with the utmost of care.
Though it doesn't show in his actions, it can be said that he has a minor Aryan complex considering how he dresses. Growing up in an era where science is trying to make "Perfect Soldiers," Rufus finds himself without any supernatural or scientific enhancements to keep up with this new race of combatants. As a result, he tries to be "perfect" in his own way by staying well-groomed and wearing all white as if to symbolize both purity and a cold, sterile reign of power.
Appearance: Rufus seems about average height with a young suave look to him. He is noted as being both attractive and stern, pulling off a layered coat look that might suggest he doesn't get out of the air-conditioning much. Layer one appears to be a black turtle neck with white, pre-creased slacks. Perhaps as a sign of his rebellious age, or perhaps for better trigger control, he wears fingerless black gloves. Layer two is a long, most likely sleeveless, white coat that goes down to just about above his ankles. Layer three is a shorter, double-breasted white coat or suit jacket with a black collar. He seems to take on that immaculate, pure and clean style. His hair is blonde and eyes blue. His short to mid-length hair is always neatly combed back and presumably held with a good layer of gel. The only exception in this is a loose tuft on his left side that just misses his line of sight.
History: Rufus obtained the title Vice President solely due to the fact that he is the President's son. However, that doesn't mean that he hasn't the skills needed to perform the job. The rumor going around about "No one [having] ever seen him bleed or cry" is no doubt due to the fact that he has grown up under the tutelage of a master businessman. President Shinra obviously has a brilliant mind considering how far ShinRa has come from weapon manufacturing to monopolizing the power industry with mako. As such, Rufus has grown up with little contact with his father unless it involved tutoring for his future role as Vice President, or going along on company business trips to keep a handle on ShinRa affairs. His life is consumed with thoughts of furthering the ShinRa Company--he doesn't have time to get emotionally attached to meaningless people or things.
And now with Rufus' father killed by Sephiroth Rufus has taken over as President of the ShinRa Company and will see it run the way he wants it to work.
Extras: Weapon: Shotgun, possibly other guns stowed away either in his coat or private quarters.
Battle Experience: Battle experience is present, primarily within the category of firearms. Shotguns, or multi-barreled guns preferred. Hand-to-hand and/or sword skills are presumably not present though I would imagine Shinra's only son has at least had training in self defense; ie: grappling. Other experiences in battle would be skillful usage of others as in commanding the mobilization of his bodyguards and pets.
Excelled at any particular skills or preferred battle style/formation: Perfect setup includes the use of a shotgun and pet, Dark Nation. Dark Nation has been trained to cast Barrier and Magic Barrier on Rufus as well as attack enemies with Bolt spells and physical attacks (Biting, clawing, mauling...)
Past experiences with monsters: Has at least grown up around the multiple canine-type monsters present due to ShinRa and Mako Reactors. Does not otherwise engage the more mutated forms in the wild.
Thoughts about the sudden increase of monsters: A good way to manipulate the people further. Now we can start charging them security fees.
Thoughts about Shinra, Inc: Needs revamping. All will be well once I control it.
Thoughts about the 'Planet' and 'The Lifestream': Planet? I'm here to make money by ruling the world. The idea of protecting the Lifestream is nothing more than Hippie-Cetra babbling.
Thoughts about Shinra, Inc's usage 'abuse' with mako: There will be plenty to go around once this silly Promised Land is found. Mako will continue to be excavated for Shinra Inc. purposes until then without fail. Time is gil and gil is Mako. Have I mentioned how successful Materia usage has been? Wouldn't dream of stopping production.
