Rune

**Rune** is a contestant in Duo Multidrive and Ultimate Overdrive: Fire And Ice. He is best known as the team captain of the Paladins in UOFAI, and the leader of his 'alliance'.

## Gameplay

### Duo Multidrive

After a rather mediocre first season for Boris in Freezing Overdrive as Extinguisher, he decided to choose a custom character for DM, which was Rune. He signed himself and his main ally from FO, Ice Token, up to be on a team, which would be the Paladins. Unlike Extinguisher, the Paladins did remarkably well despite Ice Token's low scores and Rune basically carrying the team, only getting a few votes each elimination. As for relations, Rune was primarily allied with Ice Token, and respected the majority of the other competitors. His only major rivals were Ice Orb, continuing from the previous season, and Lock, while he made peace with Fire Orb due to his gameplay. Everything went pretty well until Episode 8B, where the Paladins had to choose a wire. Rune chose the red wire (the danger wire), and the Paladins got eliminated. Rune supported the Reapers and the Healers in the finale because "they've been the underdogs of the season, and their gameplay was amazing for them to get this far". Indeed, Rune's wish came true when the Healers won DM.

### Ultimate Overdrive: Fire And Ice

#### Pre-Trios

Rune was chosen as one of the 8 team captains for the next season, Ultimate Overdrive: Fire And Ice. The team he got was... you guessed it, the Paladins. Then, he sort of recruited his entire team, except for Tri and Face. Among his new teammates were two new members of his 'alliance': Void and Cornflower. Unlike Duo Multidrive, the team had not done well (being in last place the whole time until replacements came), as Face and Shieldo have been eliminated and Gamepad and Tri are pretty much inactive. However, fortune looked up for the Paladins when Gamepad and Tri went up for re-signups and were replaced by Apple and Punching Bag, and the team started doing better until Trios came along in 12A.

#### Trio Stage

When Buggles announced the Trio stage, Void quickly created a trio consisting of himself, Lava Token, and Rune, excluding Cornflower much to the distaste of both her and Rune. Rune's trio became the Paladins once again, and due to the fact that the three teammates worked well together, the team often did well in challenges and counting raw scores (no frogs), the Paladins even won the rap battle challenge due to the slightly humorous nature of their lyrics (I.E. pee pee poo poo, pee pee pee poo poo) and a well-done music video, including Rune's user and text-to-speech voices (LT and Void couldn't get their lines done in time) rapping out the lyrics. Due to their win and Boulder quitting, Squeaks got to rejoin the game. However, Rune also faced controversy regarding his rivalry with Lock, and he may have almost gotten UOFAI cancelled because of it, and then things were finally cleared up with them. Once Trios end, Rune hoped that he and his friends can all be on one team again.

#### Post-Trios

In fact, Rune was lucky enough to have his trio and Cornflower on the reformed Paladins. Throughout the second team stage and the first merge, he continued to do decently in challenges until he quit right before the FO teams were reformed due to time constraints.

### After UOFAI

Rune did not compete in Phantom Multidrive, but he did spectate. Rune did not spectate DND, but he did return to spectate in DND 2.

### Future

Rune's user has stated on a few occasions that due to time reasons, it is not likely that he will compete in another season.
