## Personality

*"Time to cause a little rukus.*"-Rukus

Rukus is a very to the point person, outer appearance would suggest he is laid back and does not show he is thinking about his situation, which can be seen as dead wrong when he takes decisive and swift action. Rukus is sadly very vulgar, profane, and flat out rude in his mannerism. This may be due to his straightforward philosophy.

## History

Rukus was once a simple farm boy to a fairly successful farming plantation. However, when a DEL recon unit found his harm they looted it and hauled off his parents to be roboticized. Rukus was able to flee and he vowed to rescue them.  Rukus then used his skills of hunting and marksmanship to go underground in the criminal world. Rukus became a notorious criminal and assassin, soon however on one of his more interesting missions he was caught by the No-Zone police. While in Jail he earned a reputation as the head hocho in the prison. Rukus was then freed from the prison against his will during an AMA raid to free captured AMA personnel, this devastated him as he spent months trying to get a force he could use to attack Eggman and rescue his parents. Rukus then became an outcast and a low wage bounty hunter until he joined the Twilight Shadows.

Rukus does not contain any super powers or latent abilities. What he does have is his speed, reflexes, and instincts as a cat. Plus Rukus can always rely on his claws when the need arrises. One could suggest he has super reflexes, just like his brother [[Marcus the cat|Marcus the cat.
