Warren Ruuz

## Appearance

   Warren doesn’t come off as very impressive. He’s shorter than most men, with thick-rimmed glasses, untrimmed whiskers that’ll never amount to real facial hair, and a tidy, black bowl-cut. He has what some would term a “dad bod”.

## Personality

Headstrong, but seemingly rational. Unemotive, unless he's enraged (Which isn't uncommon). Greedy. Abstemious with drink, drugs and women (not that he has an option with the last of those). Matter-of-factly believes that the world is out to get him. Vengeful. A bit unstable.

## Backstory

Born and raised in the Sahian Caliphate, Warren had a happy family life and had a proper education. He’s spent most of his adult life doing financial work in Jappon. At present, he is a longtime accountant of the Mafia who feels that his ‘immense talents’ aren’t being put to use there. In his decade in the workforce, he spent most of his free time watching content on the History channel that likely didn’t belong there and enjoying the reporting of questionable news providers. Now, he’s setting out to become a Hunter in search of the fame, fortune, and lack of accountability that comes with the title. Further, he's driven by a desire to expose a number of conspiracy theories.

## Story

**Ch1 - Tickets X To X Ride:**
Warren traveled to Creeksville, the area of arrival for the 189th Hunter Exam, a month in advance, acting on a lucky guess with some influence from a collection of free-thinker web forums. He stayed in a room above on of the local restaurants until the day that the Hunter Association blimp arrived. As he was leaving the restaurant, he broke up a fight between Titus Calvus Corculum Pius Metellus and the owner and learned of the tickets that the examinees needed to gather before advancing onto the exam itself. He and Titus explored Creeksville and ended up helping a local woman with home repairs and odd jobs. She rewarded Warren with her ticket.

**Ch2 - Scavenging X For X Victory:**
Warren did not sleep at all on the zeppelin-ride over to the Stage 1 area, on account of his mind running rapidly over conjectures about fish people and other unlikelihoods. Upon arrival, he was inspired by Titus' vigor once more and joined in an effort to construct a raft in order to reach the target island. As more and more examinees joined in the effort, and they proved to be younger and stronger than he, Warren eventually succumbed to self-doubt and fatigue, collapsing in sleep next to one of the cooking stations. He woke midday, invigorated and clear-headed, and set out along the beach in search of oysters. Collecting oysters, he ran into, battled, and defeated Iscalio, expending his taser cartridges. He returned to the exam site with the oysters, his spent taser, kitchen equipment, and Iscalio's #1 badge in hand. After, he replenished his energy with an omelette.

**Ch3 - Get X Those X Badges:**
Warren ran into Kal Markof once he was in the caves and concealed his #1 badge from him, getting on decent terms. The two came into an understanding and proceeded forward together. They wandered into a central chamber with a large subterranean ruin, where they discovered a map of the caves. After, they heard Iscalio outside being cornered by a group of murderous examinees. Kal and Warren, for their own reasons, jumped in to aid Iscalio. More joined the scuffle, including Titus Calvus Corculum Pius Metellus and Kido Benally who had been exploring the caves together. During this fight, Warren sprained his right ankle and broke his nose. Victorious, they stood together against Iscalio when he threatened Kido and chased him off. Having gathered the necessary badges, they made their way to the caves exit.

**Ch4 - Secrets X And X Song:**
Gathered back on the airship, Warren received basic first aid and waited his turn to be interviewed by Baltazar Legrand. He began his interview with a barrage of questions, but acquiesced to Baltazar's demand that he humble himself a bit.
