Rufus (Deponia)

Rufus, also known as Evel Knievel, Trash Baby, Number 2, Prototype R, Mr. Negative, Inspector Trash Vest and Mr. Unconfirmed-but-Possibly-Rufus, is the main protagonist from the Deponia series.
== Charactah Account ==
An incredibly egotistical and clumsy tinkerer who wants to leave Deponia at all costs and get to Elysium. When Goal falls into his lap, Rufus sees an opportunity to escape, as well as a new girlfriend.
Rufus, along with Cletus and Argus, is actually an Organon prototype, Codenamed "R" because he originally had red hair. Rufus was genetically designed to have no respect for life but due to some problems with the original genetic coding, Rufus has an abundance of hope.
Rufus is an antihero, lacking empathy or morals. He is egotistical and selfish; though sometimes claiming his actions are for the benefit of others, Rufus' main motivation is to satisfy his own goals, often at the harm of someone else. He is clumsy, especially when he means not to be; when purposefully attempting to break off the antenna at the Resistance base in Goodbye Deponia, he fails to move it, but after stating that he wants to "adjust" it, he manages to tear it free. Rufus' constant antics often end up harming himself and others, and he leaves a trail of destruction in his wake. Despite his many negative qualities, he is persistent, creative, and has a near-superhuman ability to survive almost anything. Additionally, at the end of the Goodbye Deponia, Rufus makes a completely selfless decision to let himself fall so someone else can be saved. However, he still laughs at the pain of his fan, Barry, indicating that he hasn't completely changed.

== Trivia ==
* Rufus is a deconstruction of your average point-and-click adventure game hero. Turns out someone who steals everything in sight and screws over random people to achieve their goals is kind of a self-centered asshole who nobody would like.
* In true Rufus fashion, the final thing we see him do is cracking up at Barry being blindsided at a satellite on their way down.
* Rufus is latin for "red haired", as in his original hair color.
