Ruben's Nuts

**Ruben's Nuts** is a member of the Radioactive Uber Clan; he is their "financial manager." Despite losing all his money due to his own incompetence, he manages to extort cash out of innocent (and not so innocent) people to fund projects for the Klan.

He has magic "Nuts" that he can crack open to unleash magic powers or some nonsense like that.

## Personality

Vain, greedy, and selfish. Those are the three words that perfectly describe him. He's obsessed with wealth and power, and often believes in using the former to get his way in life. He holds a grudge against Steve due to his views coming into direct conflict with his own,. He also holds a grudge against A.B., mostly due to RUC propaganda that claims that A.B. was the one who destroyed his company, even though Ruben himself was the one actually responsible; he's either keeping up the façade to uphold the RUC's propaganda, or he's come to genuinely believe it.

## History

He was the son of a CEO for a corporation that produces nuts or something to that effect. In a grand display of meritocracy, he inherited the company from his father after his passing, and he lived exactly how you would expect from a soulless billionaire. He spends his money on all sorts of expensive things, and had a mansion full of servants. Unlike his father however, he was a complete failure at keeping the company from going under, brazenly mistreating his workers to the point where all of his employees protested against him.

Feeling betrayed by his employees, Ruben took his family shotgun and shot down many in the crowd in a fit of rage. After his act of violence, he ran from the scene, presumably to avoid the lynch mob that would have formed as a result. Authorities on the other hand, refused to do anything to apprehend him, instead choosing to let him go and forgetting the incident, to the dismay of the workers and their families. Despite this, the company would go under due to no longer having anyone from the family running it.

He would meet Popeye during his flight, and Popeye, apparently "feeling great power" coming from him, invited him to join the klan.

RUC propaganda claims that his company was destroyed due to one A.B. bombing the factory and killing all of his workers. This was written long after the incident, and after the Justice Tower Protest Community earned the ire of the klan. Due to this, it's safe to assume that the RUC attributed the fall of his company to one of the community members in another attempt to demonize them.

At some point, he married a woman named Nichole and had a son named Erasmus.

## His Nuts

So Ruben's Nuts of course has these weird magic nuts that he can use to summon meteors, tsunamis and shit. He can also eat them to "buff" himself with RPG-like stats. However they were made and whatever they were made of to give them these properties remain a mystery, though one can hear shrill screaming and crying whenever he cracks open one of these nuts.

## Peninsula War

#### During

Ruben operated under Felix's command, while also helping Tremaine manage the RUCamps that were built in the western territories. He had a few confrontations with O'Ryan's Resistance forces, Steve's personal unit in particular. With both Steve and A.B. present, it would bring out Ruben's rage and completely superficial grudge (at least in regards to A.B.) against the two, giving him more of a personal motivation for his part in the war... even if it's for mostly trivial reasons.

Ruben was also responsible for running the local RUCluckers "restaurant," as well as a weapons factory that the RUC had taken control of... though, they're not particularly good at figuring out how to put parts together, so the factory ended up being rather pointless. It was still something the RUC used to make themselves feel more industrial however, but it didn't matter in the end, as Steve's personal unit ended up blowing up the whole place.

Ruben was at the RUCamp in the western region of the peninsula to help Tremaine oversee the recruitment and training of soldiers, as well as torture their prisoners for fun. While setting up the arena fight where prisoners would be forced to slaughter each other, O'Ryan's forces mounted a raid on the camp, driving Ruben back and ultimately executing Tremaine. Ruben would flee further up north to rejoin with Felix's forces.

### Demise

When O'Ryan had gotten word that Ruben was leading a unit to slaughter a community that had settled around an inactive volcano, he sent Steve's personal unit to stop them. After chasing Ruben all the way down to the deepest part of the volcano, Ruben was left all alone when his two soldiers charged the wrong way and fell into the lava. A fight ensued, and afterwards, his nuts (no I mean literal nuts. The stuff that comes from trees) fell out of his hands, and he jumped down to catch them. He landed in the lava, where he burned to death. For reasons unknown, this has also caused the volcano to erupt for the first time in centuries.
