Of course, he hasn't had the chance to break protocol yet so that mostly extends to running with scissors. In most stances he likes to play the devils advocate, hoping to stress out his colleagues in order to unleash their maximum potential and it works at least fifty percent of the time. Not everyone is as keen on this behaviours as Rucks is. On a more personal level he's a nice enough guy, doesn't really like talking about family much but otherwise is open to most discussion and can easily keep his cool, taking most flak under the guise of "respectful banter". He's a [b]heavy[/b] drinker however, unsure whether he's actually capable of facing a hangover, or if it's a matter that when he stops the cumulative effects will literally stop his heart. This heavy drinking doesn't usually lead to drunken ramblings unless it's been a really, very hard day.

For a long time his entire life was like that - in the middle. Average grades, average looks and average popularity were what shaped his early years, until he found himself his real talent after a lot of trial and error. Growing up in Venice didn't throw up as many opportunities as one might hope, the city only really bustled during times of tourism, if you weren't in necessities or something incredibly romantic your business may as well go somewhere else, there was little room for the outliers. It didn't stop people trying of course, but no one wants to buy Franks authentic Roman coins when you're in Venice. What they really want is Gondola rides, fresh flowers or a romantic serenade under their balcony. So as Rucks left his education, he tried to fit in with this, first Gondola rides - fired after he overturned a boat with some newly weds in it. Then flower arranging - it turns out Roses do not go well with Dandelions. Serenading was okay for a while, until he got the names of the recipient confused. The he found his passion, Artisan Patisserie. But of course this is Italy, you get stories of love and, well of course there are the stories of the mob. Every go and get 'em business owner tended to receive a small loan from the mob at some point, some people also never paid it off. People like Rucks. While his business bloomed, pastries and bread didn't make enough money to pay the loan off, so they sent warnings. Thugs to beat some sense into him, and that's where his life became interesting. Rucks was handy with a knife from his profession, and since keeping fresh bread was hard work he had one with him nearly all the time to make the next batch up. You can imagine the surprise the Mob received when their thugs returned with severe knife wounds - if they returned at all. And so, Argus' interest was piqued. This continued for half a year, progressively larger groups of Thugs meant Rucks ended up running around the canals of Venice quite often, leading to the admirable agility that he has today. Of course, this isn't a fairy tale and Rucks cocked it up one day. Running into a back alley with six people cornering him. He fell two before Argus saved his arse, it was faster than anything he's ever seen, as was the letter offering him the job. His ability to hold off those thugs had clearly impressed them. Since then he's completed his own training, leaving behind his old life of bread and pastry.

Through the course of their training this has lead them to become close drinking buddies and straight up friends. [*]☯[b][color=8dc73f]Risa Couri[/color][/b] Risa and Rucks get along with each other well enough, although they wouldn't exactly call each other friends - they are more like very good acquaintances. Rucks considers Risa to be one of the better influences on him in the group however, with her pushing him to complete a task he is working on rather to drop it when it goes too awry as he usually would. [*]☯[b][color=8dc73f]Oliver Gandell[/color][/b] Gandell isn't one of the members of Argus Rucks talks to all that often. He's a bit too self absorbed for his own good is Rucks' reckoning. Gandell doesn't take well to criticism either, meaning that when Rucks DOES talk to him - which is mostly making plans - he got offended whenever Rucks questioned parts of his ideas. Rucks doubts he's a bad person, he's just not the kind of guy he want to be around too often. [*]⚜[b][color=8dc73f]Dorian Peters[/color][/b] Rucks looks up to Dori, despite the two not always seeing eye to eye. The man has an attitude that Rucks could never pull off, stern and serious. While Dori doesn't think much of Ruck's more laid back ways, the two can get along with each other perfectly fine both in the field and when off duty if need be. [*]☮[b][color=8dc73f]Lucas Walsh[/color][/b]It's fair to say that Lucas and Rucks hit it off pretty quickly, both being more laid back than some of the other agents. The two happily refer to each other as friends - although they aren't as close as they are to other members of the group - but they're a good match-up for field work. [*]⚜[b][color=8dc73f]Abel Koeman[/color][/b]Abel and Rucks wouldn't call themselves friends, there personalities are just too different. In fact, if they hadn't worked together so often they may have considered themselves enemies. Over the past year however they have developed a grudging respect for one another as they have found themselves to be an efficient team. [/list] [/hider]
