BIOGRAPHY

"Cadets! A-tten-tion!" The sound of about fifty boots hitting the ground at the same time as the MILE Academy Cadets all shifted into position, and the impact of it sent shivers down Rufus' spine. Years later, he still liked to remember this moment. Especially when August 1st rolled around, the day the new cadets got initiated, and now that he had worked himself up to the role of The Commander, he got to lead the procedure every year. The year his son got initiated, he had almost shed a singular tear, but his will not to cry in front of the whole Academy had been too strong to let it slip. He did cry bitter tears over his glass of whiskey then, though, when he was back in his house and all alone again, sitting on the porch, watching the night sky. His son had long left the house, but it felt especially lonely then, now that he was finally and completely going his own way. Growing up, Rufus knew cold loving words of a father and loving ones of a mother, nothing he especially distasted. His parents were incredibly proud of him the day he officially became Commander, threw a big party even, and his son, they loved even more. When he got injured during a mission, his mother even moved in with him for a while, helped him out and took care of him the best she could. Thankful for her actions, he gifted his parents a house, which they still live in to this day. The dark side never tempted him, not really - there were dark moments and moments he isn't exactly proud of, but he stayed true to his true self, kept his beliefs and principles. As an Empath and with the ability to feel and control other's emotions, he's respected and feared. Though he rarely uses these powers in a bad way, only to defend himself - seeing that the Rebels still exist and still try their best to destroy the gorgeous world the Magicians have built over the years, so he does his best to fight against them. Other than that, he spends his free time golfing, enjoys his five PM tea on his porch and eats over at his neighbor's house (a 80-year-old human lady, that makes the best lasagna in town).

PERSONALITY, OPINIONS, OTHER

It's not that he hates the Members of the Golden Circle and the rare-sighted Illusionary, it's just that he doesn't exactly likes most of them. Working with those bizarre creatures for years and years makes you mad at some point (and while he's quite bizarre himself), they have started to get on his nerves a long time ago. What annoys him even more, though, is the horrible London weather. He has spent many years of his life on sunny beaches, especially in the Eighties, and the constant rain makes his shoulder hurt more (or so he thinks). At least the food is immaculate - staying true to his London self, Rufus loves fish and chips and the daily tea, as well as cookies and everything else sugary and baked. Rufus has a sweet spot for classic literature and jazz music, as well as his old record player and the collection of records in his basement.
