Appearance
Mr. Rudolf is a tall, slender man. Standing somewhere near 6"3 to 6"5 (he hasn't measured), people generally find him to be quite towering. He has decent muscle structure (nothing impressive or anything) but what are impressive are his legs; strong and very well-toned from the amount he walks/runs every day. His skin is Caucasian, a hint lighter than a neutral tone could be considered as. His has a nice mop of musky orange-colored hair that he likes to spike sometimes. He also has a spiked goatee on the end of his face. Speaking of hair, he is "fuzzy" (he considers himself) thanks to his heritage, meaning he is more body-hairier then the average gent. His eyebrows are very masculine and thick.
Clothing-wise, he likes to throw on a nice and comfortable (not to mention worn) short-sleeved white undershirt, and over that, a black long-sleeve shirt with two buttons near the neck. He also wears fitting white dress pants made out of very comfortable material that he can easily run in. For shoes, the nice new pair of black running shoes he bought for his stay here.
Time for Accessories! Besides his shiny silver watch (which can also function as a stop-watch, timer, alarm-clock…. Let's just say it was a very thoughtful gift from Dad) he wears on his left wrist under his sleeve, he wears a home-made crochet rainbow (ROY G BIV) scarf with two white tassels on each side, which he made himself. It's thick and a tad long; and when he desires, he can use it to cover his nose and lower face, but usually tucks it out so people can see his whole face and hear him speak.
He has no piercings, but does have a tattoo of a leaf on his right shoulder blade (scapula). It's simple, being a black leaf with un-colored lines for a stem.
Personality
Mr. Rudolf is a very nice gentleman. He's thoughtful, sweet, and caring, but at times saccharine. A lot of the kind things he does are subtle, and people feel as if they can trust him. (You know, bearing they don't have trust issues.) He gives of a façade of innocence, almost…. He doesn't like using profanity, using silly terms to rant about his frustrations, and "his nose is clean" concerning any debauchery or bad habits.
He doesn't like to share really intimate details about his life, feeling as if they're his own business usually. Unless he feels comfortable or connected with someone, but also occasionally because he needs to stir the conversation.
He tries to see good sides to things and situations, and coming from a background and condition such as his, he feels that he must. He has difficulty separating his personal feelings about someone and dealing with someone professionally. Oddly enough, even though he was the youngest of his family, he tends to become Big Brother. He is pretty fatherly too, especially to younger kids and Pokémon.
He is quite abstractly creative, being quite talented at painting. He sees the world as just one big concept riddled with smaller, yet still as important concepts. He associates colors with everything he feels and sees.
Flaws? Well, he does have depression. He takes pills for it, sure, but that doesn't stop him from feeling the effects now and then. If it's triggered, he can get a tad moody. It's really only a problem if he doesn't take his pills. If that happens, it will really start to catch up to him and hit hard, causing him to crash badly; becoming very unlike himself and violent, even.
He also has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He can get pretty twitchy at times when it acts up, but it doesn't rule his life. He mainly has a problem with balance. Everything has to have an equal opposite on the other side. He also does weird, compulsive gestures when he's stressed or nervous. This translate positively in one way, though- it's caused him to be very studious and decisive. Everything got to be one way with him.
Also, yeah, he likes the company of men. But none of his romantic pursuits have ever taken off. He doesn't really want to search for a guy. He's comfortable with it. No big deal. It isn't who he is. Just who he likes ....to state the obvious, he's never truly dealt with it or took the time to understand it.
History
Rudolf was the youngest of four, having two brothers and a sister before him (in that order). He was the product of a second marriage, all his siblings actually being half-siblings. He is the only son of his father. His family was middle-class when he was a child, but as he grew, they started to lose more and more financial stability, until finally, they had to declare bankruptcy. Already devastated, Rudolf then had to witness his mother (who he holds in contempt nowadays for being ungrateful and a home wrecker) divorce his father. Thankfully in a custody battle, Rudolf ended up with his father. Although he lost his siblings, he still had his Dad and didn't have to live with his mother. His mother ended up living with her sister.
They took refuge in a shelter for a while, his father trying very hard (yet usually unsuccessfully) to find a good income. Meanwhile, thanks to child support (who his mother has to thank his aunt for), Rudolf attended public school, where was the only place he could unwind from stress. Thanks to this, he actually did extremely well, enjoying his studies. He discovered his passion for breeding and those furry creatures everyone called Pokémon. He also found a lot of different hobbies- painting, crocheting to name some. He let his creativity have a renaissance during this stressful period.
Low and behold though, when he was sixteen, his financial situation suddenly changed when his father got ahold of an amazing amount of money because of old investment that paid off. They were now in better standing than they were originally, and, feeling he had to make up for what happened, Rudolf's Dad showered him in gifts. (Which Rudolf was thankfully too nice to become spoiled over.) More time passed, and Rudolf had graduated high school as valedictorian, and was just about to finalize his college plans when a job offer appeared for being a teacher at an academy that had been recording his achievements. The pay was good, too. Hm.
I think what happened next speaks for itself.
Pokémon
Otoño the Carnivine Lv. 31
Leech Seed, Rage Powder, GrassWhistle, Worry Seed, Ingrain, Leaf Tornado
Otoño is very overly aggressive, and makes a great bodyguard because of such. He can get very carried away with battles and is also a bit sadistic at times. He is very outgoing and fun, though. He loves to eat. Good HP.
