a p p e a r a n c e
At a passing glance Rupixe would appear to be a strange hybrid of sorts. Though one would be mistaken, as he's a purebred SkyWing, with his strange traits likely coming from his mutt background. His main scales are a flame red, with a desaturated red running along his back.
----Upon sight of this being, Rupixe, one would immediately jump to the conclusion of: hybrid. This obviously would be taken from his sail, his eyes and his wings. This is wrong, incredibly so, yet one would have their jaw literally drop upon discovering that he's a purebred SkyWing.
Whilst it may be hard to believe, it is but true, Rupixe is a SkyWing with unique colorations. Reddish scales spread across his body, like a blanket it covers him entirely, making some exceptions here and there. 
Orange tints are seen upon some of his scales, giving them quite a taste of a metallic appearance. They aren't entirely lustrous, but they're enough so to be ever so slightly showy. This is the typical shown colorations of a SkyWing, something rather completely normal to his kind. However, this is just the beginning of a not quite normal dragon.
Flat scales pad softly across his back, remaining smooth and well-cared for. In coloration, these remain a brownish red, complimenting his mainscales quite well, for they seem to stand out, at least enough to be seen clearly to one's eye. An identical coloration runs across the top of his head as well, almost entirely surrounding his dark sky blue eyes. 
That is, before dipping down barely across the front of his snout. Sometimes, it may even take a little bit of a longer inspection to notice what is different about him. No doubt, one would notice the serrated sail running across his back. Remaining flame red in color, it is not actually membranous, rather it is just a "melted together" spine.
Confidence screams off of him, his large eyes have an almost filled to the brim with a cunning look that he has a tendency to shoot at others. Perhaps even mischief sneaks into them followed by a cocky expression. Often times, small smoke rings come from his snout, usually when he's upset or angry about something. Which is quite a lot. A flame orange underbelly flows down his typically puffed out chest. His talons, short but sharp and his snout, in between long and short.
This palette might seem normal to an unobservant viewer, but once you reach his wings, you've just proved yourself wrong. Dark midnight blues and navies skitter across his membranes, like little mice. Like mentioned at the beginning, this, combined with his strange, melted spines can give him a look of a hybrid.
Rupixe's build is stocky with some considerate chubbiness around his legs and up his wings. Followed by curvy, pearly white horns studding the back of his head, the same coloration as his short nose horn. And of course, somewhat large ears with hot magenta innards. His tail, long and his wings, large, like any typical SkyWing with a slightly strange coloration.
Shoulders are squared and are indirectly attached to his wings while his neck cranes slightly over any short dragon. For the SkyWing is quite tall in some ways, so it seems. Perhaps that's another thing that makes him different from others.
p e r s o n a l i t y
*barely functioning adult who struggles to keep his life together.
*bit of a nerdy loser, has memorized most crimes that can be committed as well as the fine and/or jail time you'll receive from committing said crimes. often bluntly tells undefined how long they'd go to jail for whenever they joke about committing a crime.
*hates conspiracy boards, but always ends up subconsciously creating one for all the investigations he's very invested in.
*doesn't really put himself out there and is very closed off and lonely. doesn't like socializing or bothering others and is constantly denying the fact that he's very lonely. might watch videos of friend groups doing fun stuff and wish he could do that... if he had any friends.
*bad social skills. he's not socially awkward, he's just bad at carrying conversations and thinks he always needs to bring something whether it be thought-provoking, insightful, or otherwise witty or funny to the table in order to talk to others. likes interview-style conversations because answering and asking questions is much easier than coming up with heartfelt insight.
*rarely has heartfelt or insightful conversations because of his terrible social skills. can only start insightful conversations if he's talking about something he takes deep interest in analyzing. and sometimes even then he can struggle to keep up the conversation if he runs out of insightful things to say. he feels as though he's competing with the other person to be as insightful about analyzing the media they're talking about.
*is really observant when he's on the job, but isn't in everyday life. undefined has taken notice to this, much to the skywing's displeasure.
*needs, or at least wants, others to approach him first to start a conversation with him. but unfortunately he usually ends up starting all conversations.
*i would compare his social skills to the likes of a robot. he always talks like he's responding to a prompt and when he can't, he simply doesn't formulate a response. is self-conscious about this and beats himself up about it when reminiscing on past conversations.
*awful at comforting others or saying the right thing to make others feel better without it coming off as generic or artificial.
*wonders why anyone would want to spend time with him because he doesn't find himself interesting or funny or have any qualities that makes up anyone worth befriending... at least, according to his standards of what makes up the qualities of a friend.
*is never surprised when people cut ties with him or any friendships he does have die off. can't comprehend actually being important to another person and therefore doesn't think he is. if you tell him that he is, he won't believe you because his own self-hatred won't allow it.
*this is all because he doesn't reach his own standards of a friend. apparently thinks that if he doesn't have friends or any type of relationship of that ilk, he's not important.
*gets very worked up and nervous when one of his accomplices "breaks" (by that i mean it looks like they're breaking the law, but aren't) the law. is hellbent on following the rules and not getting in trouble.
*doesn't like sudden changes to his life, doesn't mind change as long as he can prepare for it ahead of time. not too big on schedules and calendars for everything, but still likes using them.
* acts rather aloof towards most people, with the exception being his superiors and his clients, in which he acts (or at least tries to) very professional and easy to work with.
*in public, he's excessively polite, submissive, professional, and self-conscious to all hell about his mannerisms, but the way he walks to how he holds himself to the very music he might listen to while walking. keeps to himself and tries to be as quiet, unproblematic, and unnoticeable as possible. wants to be seen as professional, cool, and mysterious, but he just comes off as a completely normal guy who just doesn't talk that much.
* cannot handle second-hand embarrassment and immediately vacates the premises as soon as he starts feeling that way. hates making a scene or having the company he keeps make a scene and begins to get anxious and embarrassed when he or one of his companions does this. is very sensitive to embarrassment and humiliation and as such it triggers an intense reaction in him... as though he's deathly allergic to it.
*doesn't like diving too deep into philosophical thinking, existentialism, and nihilism. though his brain seems insistent on floating back to these, much to his great displeasure. most of his intrusive thoughts relate back to his life being uninteresting and therefore meaningless and will always remain that way.
*feels discontented with and devalues his life and wishes he could just turn off his brain and only be awake for the interesting parts. struggles with episodes of depression where he becomes so apathetic and unmotivated that he neglects himself (which he's already bad at doing). is only existing for the sake of existing.
*during these episodes he finds it really hard to enjoy anything because he thinks it's all meaningless. usually stays cooped up in his apartment and just stays there until the worst is over. he also becomes a lot less compassionate and emotionally sensitive. couldn't care less if something terrible happened to others, is just too emotionally drained to care.
*might look forward to something if it's only a week away, but as it comes closer, he begins to dread going to it. this can anything, from hanging out with someone to attending an important event. strangely, he rarely dreads things one normally would, like doctor appointments and such. it's just anything that includes him needing to socialize with others.
* hates disappointing others, especially his clients. puts all his self-worth into doing a good job for these people and if he can't achieve that, he falls into bouts of self-hatred and shame.
*deals with existential dread and depression stemming from a lot of things, most notably loneliness, general discontent with life, and desperately hoping life isn't meaningless.
*enjoys reading about unsolved mysteries. enjoys his life of work, mainly because it keeps him busy.
* when competing against someone he knows is better than him, he acts dismissive when giving it his all to avoid humiliating himself. has a defeatist mindset in these situations.
*it's still sinking in that demons actually exist.
*feels really overshadowed by those who are clearly more competent and professional than him. hates being talked to in a condescending manner because it makes him feel idiotic and incompetent, which feeds back into his deepest insecurities and intrusive thoughts. doesn't talk back to these people because he's conflict-averse and because he can't argue with what they're saying as he agrees with them. easily hurt by criticism or insults given to him by those he perceives as better than him.
* has little self-respect for himself.
----
From a surface level, there isn't much one can gather from Rupixe. He gives off an air of authority, perhaps from his serious and rather emotionless demeanor, or maybe from his sharp tongue. For those who've gotten off on the wrong foot with him, he can come off as your stereotypical SkyWing, rude, grumpy, and a rather dark sense of humor if any.
In truth, these traits aren't absent from his character, but they don't define him in the slightest. Yes, Rupixe can come off as cool, angry, and unfriendly, but he does have a sweet center. In his line of work, he's supposed to take his job very seriously, which often rubs off on how he acts in public. This is where his unfriendly air can come from, as some can be easily intimidated by him. Not that he actively tries to be intimidating, rather that's just the air that surrounds him.
Behind his serious and sharp-tongued demeanor is how he truly feels and acts around those close to him. Rupixe isn't as emotionally intelligent as his boyfriend, , but he is sensitive, emotional, and sentimental, perhaps maybe a bit too much for his own liking. His life is splotched with periods of intense sadness, loneliness, and emptiness, all that he prefers to spend in isolation until it passes. He seems to be rather stubborn about not getting help when it comes to these issues even though he's aware that would probably be best.
When it comes to his moral stand-point, he cares more about bringing criminals to justice more than understanding their motives. He seems to be rather uncaring about criminals that are "misunderstood" and just cares about putting them behind bars. That is except for Undefined, a true enigma in Rupixe's eyes, someone whom he can't bring himself to turn in. Even if he did, they always escape somehow, completely unharmed and unfazed.
His anxieties stem from internal fears of being abandoned and not being worth enough to love. Rupixe can sometimes come off as desperate to keep those he cares deeply for around, to make them happy so that he can feel important in return. He lacks self-esteem and seems to find himself to have little importance something he worries might actually be true. It's only the support from his partner and other loved ones that make him think otherwise.

please roleplay beforehand
UNDEFINED: is... conflicted on his feelings of the demon. sometimes, he sees them as a nuisance whose only goal is to get in his way and annoy him. but other times they make genuinely good company, especially when it's just them alone together with no one to judge them. has seen sides of them that feel very... private is the best way he can describe it. rupixe worries about fully committing to this relationship they have, as he's not used to actually having another person in his life. because of this he's a little averse to being fully intimate with them.
he is thankful to have them around on some days, usually when he feels like nothing matters and everything is pointless, because they make him feel less... alone. not to mention, they take care of him when he's unable to find the motivation to do so himself. they're very loving and caring, but never to an overwhelming degree. they know his boundaries and they respect them. he also sees them as the main reason he isn't a complete shut-in, as they make sure he goes out every week whether he wants to or not. never does end up regretting most of the trips they go on together.
is bothered by how... rowdy they are in public and can find their social confidence and witty sense of humor a little... overshadowing. they are very different from him, because they can actually make friends... because they're funny... and smart, well... at least when they try. is jealous of how easy they make talking and bonding with people look, because it's so hard for him. rupixe has a bad habit of comparing himself to them socially and it makes him feel significantly worse about himself. mostly positive
t r i v i a
* moral alignment is lawful good.
*when thinking up a name, rupixe was the first thing that came to mind, this name, in fact, based about the name rupee, but i messed around with the wording a bit.
*was originally going to have met vollmond, but the idea has been scrapped.
*in former concepts, rupixe was a young governess of an old city called lucid, being a sky-mud hybrid who was very strict, however this was soon scrapped.
*when making his pixel dragon, i was thinking of either making him tribeless or him being a sky-night hybrid, these were both put aside, making him a purebred skywing with strange-colored wings to make him seem more interesting.
*has contacts, though in both the early morning and late afternoon he wears black square-rimmed glasses.
*not sure what his username is, but he definitely uses some form of social media. he has a single follower... it's undefined.
