Ruske has always been a scientist at heart. Either gruffly cheerful or bitterly morose, he comes with a lot of emotional baggage he's not finished processing. Historically, his sense of ethics has been "whatever I can get away with," but since joining the Edge he's resolved to be well-behaved. He's mellowed a lot with age, and rather than sharp and keen, he is weary and easily annoyed. Has a weakness for anyone in need.

♥ Has adopted Faeanne; he and Evangeline will be taking care of her until she's big enough to be on her own
♥ Healer stuff
♥ Eventually learn more about Helovia's gods
♥ Learn about the different herds?
♥ Do you like grumpy old men? You will like Ruske!
♥ He's always in too many threads

For the most part extremely nervous and polite, he is a lonely soul. Has a surprising amount of whimsical lore stored up in his brain, mostly to do with stars. He's been a nomad his entire life, so the idea of staying in one place with the same individuals is very strange to him. Caneo is an entire box full of trust issues, but he desperately wants a family.

× Needs to tell Roland he wants to become a spy
× Needs to get a companion asap
× Would like him to witness some magic, if anyone feels like showing off
× Meet some racists? He is too innocent
× He will be extremely loyal to a small number of close friends, eventually, but it needs to build up organically
× I need to figure out a reason for him to learn how to fight; either witness some violence, or be threatened with violence.... idk, maybe once he gets a meaningful rank someone could strongly suggest it to him? I've been tossing this around in my brain for a while
× In the future then he's going to need a sparring mentor, preferably Basin, and maybe a few inexperienced sparring partners (no time.. soon...)
