physical description:

It's obvious that Rufus Shinra is one of Azhun's wealthier residents, given the lad's penchant for finely-tailored clothes and trim well-nourished physique. He's a respectable 6'2", his thick blonde hair elegantly cut into a somewhat-long style that he wears slicked back from his face, a few strands falling into his face in a manner that only accentuates his arrogant demeanor. His eyes are a dark blue, the color of the sea before a storm, and his cherubic lips are almost always curved up in a self-assured smirk. His preferred clothing is a pristine white suit that accents his pale skin, topped with a long white coat that he wears either buttoned closed or fully opened depending on his mood. Even though he's surrounded by bodyguards and employees almost 24 hours a day, Rufus still carries with him a double-barreled shotgun that he's not afraid to use.

personality:

Rufus Shinra defines the word 'arrogant'. His icy and ruthless businesslike indifference have made him quite infamous to the people of Azhun - it's said no one has ever seen him bleed or cry. The smug and egotistical charm he carries just beneath that outer shell is also something of legend. What Rufus Shinra wants, Rufus Shinra gets.

While he's not below using fear and intimidation tactics to exert his will on people, his father's tendencies to use money and promises to gain alliances disgust him. It is true that one catches more flies with honey rather than vinegar, but fear makes people stupid. And stupid people are that much easier to control.

strengths:

Despite being a pampered brat during his formative years, Rufus is by no means a slob. He's nimble and quick, and what he lacks in raw strength he makes up for with wits and cunning. He's also fairly handy with that shotgun. Outside of a fight, Rufus's wits don't end there. Even if his philosophy lends itself to other avenues, Rufus has an eye for politics and the subtle shift of power. After all, he's had his eye on his father's illustrious 'company' since he could speak coherent sentences, and to play the game, one must know how the rules. His skill at manipulation is almost unrivaled.

weaknesses:

He keeps no close personal friends, nor does he actively seek social interaction that doesn't benefit him somehow. And being in a position of power attracts a fair bit of attention, so Rufus could quite possibly be making himself a target for one of Azhun's desperate poor.

history:

He was born in the early days of his family's illustrious business. The infrastructure of the ShinRa mafia was still unstable, and alliances needed to be made. Enemies needed to be taken care of as well, so it wasn't uncommon for the young Rufus to be surrounded by talk of such things. Even though the ShinRa's base of operations was in the lower-class district, he grew up with the finer things in life, especially as the organization settled itself into power.

From an early age Rufus grew to desire the finer things in life, mainly because they were readily provided for him. As the only son of the Don, he had figured that he would eventually take his place at the head of the family once his father died. Imagine his shock when he found he wasn't second in line, merely some high-ranking consigliere. The insult was too much to bear. Rufus became power-hungry, forming his own miniature alliances within the family, tying various useful men and their specialities to him. He was always aware of the shifting politics within the unit, how bonds of loyalty were tested and reforged - how one should deal with rivals and the general public.

Rufus, the Brat-Prince of the ShinRa mafia, knew his time was coming. He hid his true intentions, his duplicitous dealings, waiting for his moment to take power. Rather convincingly he played the part of a loyal and oblivious servant, all the while thirsting for control and status. He was quite used to getting what he'd desired by now, so he knew it was all a matter of time. In the meantime he preoccupied himself as best he could. A sweet woman by the name of Aerith suddenly found herself the object of Rufus's affections - if only on the surface. Perhaps he felt something for her, perhaps he wanted some company, or someone to lord over until he took control. Of course he couldn't outright tell her about his background and all he stood for, but Rufus concealed his true nature expertly - until of course the long-awaited day came.

Old man Shinra died, and Rufus wasted no time. He moved with the speed of a striking viper, moving his own little coalition into action, seizing control of what had been his birthright before the old man's body was cold.

Now things are a bit more precarious ... the mafia's cancerous spreading over the slums has left Rufus with a lot on his plate, and there is the problem of that troublesome girlfriend of his ...
