Ruggie Bucchi
Second Year Student
Weapon: (made up) Twin nondescript pistols that he carries with him always, even sleeping with them. Some think his aim and abilities with them is magical. Ruggie thinks it is all his hard training. He rarely uses both at once. Instead he “chooses based on the circumstances”. No one knows what, if any, thought goes into his choice. He claims he hasn’t named them but everyone knows he kisses them before he goes to sleep... so he must have a name for them. His second weapon is a black hilted dagger that he pilfered off one of his marks, he mainly uses it to pick his nails and playing around with.
Personality: Ruggie is… a lazy glutton that never takes things seriously, always making jokes, laughing and smiling, a bit snarky at times... at least on the surface. He has a dark side from years of living on the streets that he so far has kept largely hidden. He can also be very conscientious, he picks up after others and likes to help out…. But don’t tell anyone that. His grades, despite his personality, and despite skipping many classes (there are sample foods from vendors in the city!) are almost all straight A’s. Oftentimes his friends copy off him on tests or reports. He hates gym class and gets C’s every year. Ruggie fights with Home Ec teachers as he thinks they can’t cook as well as he can (he is right). While he isn’t easily manipulated, he does tend to go with the flow if he thinks it would be easier. He isn’t a big spender and is quite thrifty (he likes coupons). He tends to dislike those who display wealth or are in a position of power, as he feels they abuse their position and never help those without power - but can come around if they win him over. Despite that - he doesn’t hold grudges as it’s too much work and generally gets over things quickly. Ruggie is also curious about things and enjoys tidbits of knowledge, a great conversationalist when the mood strikes him. Flashes his canines when he’s thinking bad thoughts…. Is he thinking about something evil… or something naughty?
Strengths: Strangely smart and insightful. Highly cooperative - when it suits him. He is content not being in the limelight and enjoys following those who bask in it as it takes eyes off him. Excellent chef and gets pleasure out of feeding others. Great sense of smell and taste. Strong stomach, great for eating questionable food items, spicy food, poisoned food, and eating contests. Great aim too, years of practice has led him to be a practiced marksman. Ruggie is good at blending in with various crowds, taking on their mannerisms, stealing from people... and outright vanishing.
Strong control over his temper, and can be diplomatic when the situation demands it.
Weakness: Is there a limit? There are so many.... Glutton, lazy, lacks discipline, sleeps a lot, lacks goals in life (besides toying with the idea of opening a food stall)… hates cleaning, never takes out the garbage on time, thinks chores are torture, forgets names (on purpose? who knows), struggles to open jars (never asks for help), non committal, cynical, snarky, sometimes gambles and engages in unsavory business…. need I go on? He has never had a close relationship as he doesn’t know how to maintain them.
History: Ruggie grew up in the slums. His memory of his childhood is muddled after his parents passed away when he was young. He was left to fend for himself - scavenging for food from the richer parts of the city, hunting small animals for food, and stealing from the wealthy merchants and aristocrats. Ruggies smarts came from having to learn fast on his own. His curiosity paid off with new ways of surviving and new marks to steal from. He was picked up by an assassin’s guild and stayed with them for a few years before vanishing one night when he decided he didn’t like it anymore. Eventually he was found by Leona after breaking into the Palace grounds. Since then he’s been on the straight and narrow – honest! Although he assists Leona their relationship is… complicated.
