Rude

Appearance

Rude is a tall man with a well-trained figure, tan skin, a shaved head, hazel eyes, and a goatee. He had a clean shaven face when he was younger. Rude wears the standard Turks uniform consisting of a slim-fit dark blue or black suit ensemble. He wears a black tie with faintly silver patterns, a dark purple dress shirt, black leather gloves, and studded black ankle boots. He also wears three silver rings on his left ear and a silver ring and sapphire stud on his right ear. Rude always has on a pair of shades before fighting his opponents (it's rare to see him without it on.) In the unbelieveable case that Rude's sunglasses may be lost or damaged during combat, he is savvy enough to carry a spare pair in his person so his impecable image is not lost.

Rude is a taciturn and blunt man of few words, only speaking when necessary. He is sensible and prefers to think before taking action. He is a hard-working and proud Turk, executing his assignments silently and professionally. However, he also shares a casual work ethic with his partner Reno, but to a lesser extent. Though he has an intimidating presence, Rude is sincere, deeply compassionate, and loyal. He cares for his companions above all else and finds it painful to imagine life without the Turks. He respects Tseng as his leader and was happy he survived, but sometimes disagrees with his cold tact. He values Elena and briefly partners with her during Reno's recovery leave, but she dislikes his approach to work. Rude is also friends with Cissnei and helped her regain a sense of trust upon joining the Turks. Despite Rude's faithful dedication to his duties, he feels guilty about their more sinister missions and admits to sometimes having to do bad things he is not inherently bad.

Rude is not the talkative type, but resolves everything with his powerful fists. He is paired during his operations with Reno, who is quite the opposite personality-wise since he is loud and arrogant. A member of the Turks unit of Shinra's General Affairs Division. Bald and burly, Rude is not one to waste words, preferring to let his fists do the talking.

Despite his professionalism and no-nonsense attitude, Rude will hold back against people for whom he as a soft spot.

He can use this move without jumping as well.

Despite his mild manner, Rude is also a very powerful fighter.

A member of the Turks, he is often quiet and does not socialize much. He is very protective of his fellow Turks, especially his close friend Reno

For a long yet uncertain amount of time, Rude has been partners with Reno, both making an extremely powerful combination and carrying out their duties flawlessly, taking down enemies that individually they would be not match against.

IQ

Above Average. As a member of the Turks, Rude is well trained in combat, espionage, infiltration, gathering information, weapon use and piloting of several vehicles. Despite being caught in moments of goofiness due to Reno's upbeat and extravagant behaviour, Rude does his best to keep his cool and properly analyze the situation at hand, having important insight of the events around him, noticing important details and having efficient deductive skills to piece together situations he's involved with, with many times his colleagues trying to warn him of something he had already figured out beforehand.
