Ruggie, Floyd and Jade as a trio ?!?!

It has come to my attention that there isn't a lot of content surrounding Ruggie, Jade and Floyd as a trio thus. I am writing this to explain why they would be a good trio — also they are my favorites so I felt the need to mash them together.

(Also I'm not good at writing and words, just putting that out there but I tried my hardest on this one! I did my best to be somewhat canon compliant while throwing in some hcs here and there but there might be information I missed or completely forgot so take this as you will, but honestly this is just for fun :-D) 

For starters, all three of them have a thing for mischief in their own different ways. For Ruggie, being raised in the slums meant he had to work tirelessly everyday to put food on the table.  Ruggie had a rough life his entire childhood where he didn't have proper education, hygiene and nutrition. He learned to be resourceful and highly adaptable because of this. Ultimately due to his upbringing, he learned to be a survivalist — working multiple side jobs, scrounging up food through different ways and even in thievery and trickery.  That said, Ruggie is extremely cunning and will absolutely try to exploit someone or a situation. When he gifts friends and acquaintances for their birthdays, he is only doing it for the ulterior motive of getting something back in return. Although as sneaky and borderline greedy as he is, he is much more kind hearted than he shows especially for people dear to him such as his grammy and the neighborhood kids back home (bringing food for them during breaks, doing laundry to water fight memories, helping them to get as many candy in halloween, making flower crowns, exchanging manga). but he absolutely denies it!? but anyway that's another tangent for another day. 

Moving on to Jade, he is known as the calm, polite and gentlemanly Leech twin  — which he is. However, that masks something more sinister and cunning in him despite being unassuming on the outside. He is always if not mostly scheming something we aren't aware of. Azul even mentioned that “Jade is even worse than Floyd, because you can’t tell what he’s thinking”. He likes people watching and is observant as hell. Sometimes people underestimate how dangerous he actually is, this eel could destroy anyone if he felt the need to. Moreover, Jade doesn't like predictable and expected things and he easily gets bored of it. He doesn't like getting bored, much less being called boring. He enjoys watching chaos unfold and far more if he is the one inflicting it. Just like Ruggie, he is also a master at manipulating and playing tricks to get what he wants, be it an order from Azul or just because he finds entertainment from it. 

As for Floyd, he is definitely harder to grasp because of his unpredictability and mood swings. Everything Floyd does and doesn't do is dictated by his mood (joining the basketball club because he felt like joining at the time, not entering VDC despite liking both singing and dancing because he wasn't in the mood that  time, going from 100% on one test to 0 points on the next, and even his unique magic’s effectiveness vary depending on his mood). He is not stupid and he can be perfectly capable and brilliant if his mood allows it. Jade refers to Floyd as an eccentric genius. That said, he dislikes anything boring, and he does anything that’s fun to him, so the second he finds an activity boring he’ll be out to find another. He likes ensuing chaos just for the entertainment of it, but unlike Jade who plays the long route, Floyd prefers instant gratification. He has a reputation for “squeezing” people (which sounds endearing but most of the time it is a threat) and playing with them, and while he doesn't play tricks on people like Ruggie and Jade, he has a way of brute forcing what he wants out of them. 

Now I’m going to be explaining how they would work as duos because I feel it just gives more depth on how they would act around each other…maybe. So for Ruggie and Jade, they do have multiple canon interactions. It is worth noting in a tsum event that Ruggie catches on Jade’s schemes of putting Leona in debt and calls him out of it because he had a hunch that Jade was hiding something, which might I add is also the only time (from what I know) we see Jade actually screw up and visibly lose composure??  This shows that Ruggie is not a stranger to scheming and can actually match Jade’s wits. Their relationship is built around mutual respect between schemers who know how to read the field and they really are a great example of “it takes one to know one”. In Ruggie’s uniform vignette, Ruggie accidentally used Jade’s veggies from his mountain foraging. As Ruggie didn't want to be in debt, he offered to teach Jade a few recipes. And, as Jade is the only member of the mountain lovers club, I hc Ruggie joining him sometimes to collect some wild plants he would use as ingredients for cooking (which  Ruggie also mentioned in his outdoor wear voiceline where he enjoys camping since there is free food wherever you look) and they could discuss about what plants they could cook or something. Floyd and Azul aren't really all that interested in Jade’s mushroom hobby but I do think Ruggie would be interested especially if it's edible mushrooms. There are a lot more canon interactions of them and I absolutely find them cuteiful despite being a dangerous duo.

Ruggie and Floyd would absolutely be a chaotic duo. Ruggie is pretty passive of Floyd and would just leave him be to do whatever he wants since he knows there is no controlling or changing of his mind when he finds something fun. However, in Ruggie’s ceremonial robes vignette where he helps around Mostro Lounge, he helps clean up broken glass while delegating tasks to others. And when Floyd gets bored with working, Ruggie actually manages to convince Floyd to go back to work?! The same happens in the Vargas camp event where Floyd says Ruggie’s plan is too boring and would rather fight by himself. Ruggie then negotiates with Floyd that he will do any one thing he asks to get him to cooperate. This shows that Ruggie knows how to appeal to Floyd’s mood rather than confronting it and redirecting it to something that both of them would agree with. Ruggie also stated that working at part-time jobs have helped him master the art of socializing — and it shows. So, imagine if Ruggie manages to use Floyd to his advantage and Floyd would actually agree with it when Ruggie sweetens a deal??? That's actually very dangerous of them. Ruggie isn’t intimidated by Floyd’s unpredictability, instead, he works with it.

Floyd and Jade are kind of a given since well…they're twins and they get along well and obviously care for each other so I’m not going to touch on this topic for long. But I do want to touch on Rook’s nicknames for Floyd and Jade which are Monsieur Yukai-Han (meaning: Monsieur Joyous Crime) and Monsieur Keikaku-Han (meaning: Monsieur Premeditated/Deliberate Crime) respectively. I find this very fitting of their approach to things where as mentioned before, Floyd prefers to be quick in getting what he wants and Jade prefers taking it slow. This is also why they balance each other out as a team since Jade can act as the schemer and Floyd as the muscle. I also find it funny that Jade is an enabler of Floyd's actions, feigning concern and letting him do whatever he wants just because he finds entertainment from it and expresses being around Floyd as “you never know what is going to happen”. 

In conclusion, they would be great as a trio and a very dangerous one — they’ll probably scam, exploit and trick people left and right. but hey! this game is based on disney villains and is somewhat morally gray so what's another trio gonna be…
