Rudy Michaels Traditional Appearance:

Rudy is 5ft 8 and weighs 11 stone he has reddish skin and a toned body with a 6 pack he has green shaggy hair and scars over his arms and shoulder. He has blue dopey eyes and the beginning of a green goatee on his chin. Rudy wears a slightly baggy black t-shirt. With a green army shirt which has 3 arrows on the arms which are coloured yellow & orange. He wears the shirt open with the sleeves rolled up exposing some of the scars over his arms. He wears a set of dog tags with his name printed on them and black jeans too along with some black boots which are old raggedy and a bit faded. On his head he wears a green beret with a circle on it which is split into four sections each coloured orange or yellow. On occasions he wears finger less black leather gloves but not often and around his right wrist he wears two wristbands one white & the other black these two wrap around each other. In colder climates he tends to pull a much thicker olive coloured jacket with a hood and a white fur lining inside & mouse ears on either side of the hood. Rudy always wears the hood of this jacket up and closes the hood up allot which leaves only a small portion of his face on display, but he mainly does this so he can avoid getting any colder than he needs to as he detests the cold with a passion.

Personality:

Rudy is nervous and cowardly he wants to be a feared and powerful revolutionary but is too scared of actual war and harming people. He is socially awkward around woman and even worse in situations in which he is put under pressure. Rudy is the kind of man who would give one woman a flower and after giving her one would then rush around handing out more to stop the other women from feeling left out as he knows the feeling all too well and hates it himself, so he wishes for no one else to feel that way.Rudy has big abandonment issues no matter how long it is he is left alone for, he tends to panic out of sheer loneliness. He does not like being on his own be it for a few minutes or an extended length of time. Even if it has been explained to him, it frightens him. He feels much more comfortable around people, even if he doesn't know them. Due to feel so self conscious Rudy feels like he is being watched when he is alone and tries to act as normal as he can manage but tends to look more awkward when trying as he tries to hard to act normal. Far from confident Rudy really wants to become a ferocious revolutionary to show his parents he is fighting the good fight for the right for everyone to be treated equally, but he knows that he must become confident first and is scared to take the first few steps.

Background

Being born in the East Blue at Tequila Wolf where he was caught in the middle of a war Rudy was straight away sent away from there for his own safety. He was raised by a former revolutionary who had lost one of her legs in the war and as he was raised he had always wondered about the fruit he'd been brought back with. The fruit wasn't ever eaten and looked different to every other fruit he'd ever seen. He didn't know why it was so different but was incredibly curious as to what it was. He wanted to eat it and try some but had been told by his mother or at least who he thought was his mother never to touch it. He had followed these rules all his life all the way up to the age of 14 when he became even more curious.

He had been outside playing with friends shooting his friends with a sling shot full small pebbles, as dangerous as it was they didn't mind since as they all played they used to fight with swords made out of wood and actually hit each other and launched rocks at one another. Nothing too big though. But as he had been playing with his friends doing such things when he arrived back home thirsty and hungry he'd searched for his mom calling out to hear nothing and found no food. Upon reaching the fruit he gobbled it up and spat it out trying to get rid of the taste it was horrible.

When his mom did return he was questioned why he did what he did and he apologized to his mom to have her sit him down and tell him the truth about what she'd been asked to do. His mother explained to him that she had been asked to raise him and let him eat the fruit when she had found out what it was and if it would help. She said that she had discovered how it was the Kōjō Kōjō  no Mi and could give the user the ability to create and control plants. As Rudy heard all of this he was confused and was told about it being a devil fruit and how his parents wanted him to join the battle they were taking part in with use of the Kōjō Kōjō no Mi. He agreed to living his parent's wishes and the next four years he spent being trained by his foster mom. He was told how he should stress his body to hopefully let him do things with his power. As he trained and trained he started to show weakness and that was punished, when he was punished he would use his power to do what he could to stand up for himself and his foster mom was proud of him.

When Rudy was placed on that ship to Tequila Wolf he knew what was coming his way and as the ship drew closer he panicked out of fear and used his powers to run from the war. He fled out of fear wanting to join the war feeling like a coward. He promised himself he would join the battle. When he was ready he would and at the moment he didn't feel ready.
