Name: Rudy Rodgers

Race: Caucasian

Age: 37

Height: 5'10"

Appearance: Rudy is slightly overweight. Not much, but his stomach does bear a slight bulge hinting at the belly underneath. Rudy has a very round face with a winning smile. His teeth are straight and one of the whitest smiles in Memphis. He wears a black pinstripe suit that is very worn. There's a small hole on the right shoulder seam and the knees of the pants are nearly worn through. He wears a dirty white dress shirt underneath the suit. Depending on the weather he may or may not wear his only tie. It's torn on the bottom half so if he thinks the day will be warm he won't wear it because when he removes his jacket due to the heat someone might notice the tear. He wear black boots. The only part of his outfit that doesn't match the rest. He has blue eyes and medium length brown hair. He has a bit of scruff that shows he could grow a full beard if he wanted to, but he keeps it trimmed. He has unusually soft hands and clean fingernails. Rudy is a salesman.

Equipment: A large knapsack full of odds and ends. Playing cards, cans of food, beer, small knives, ammo, and other junk that is barely worth one cap. The things that he has that aren't for sale he keeps in a slightly smaller sling bag. This includes a small pair of reading glasses. Rudy's ledger with a pencil. A bottle with two Rad-X pills. A one Salesmen Weekly magazine that is basically Rudy's Bible. 

Weapons: A switchblade and a Silenced .22 Pistol.

Specializations: Rudy is a salesmen. He is very good at making friends and selling his wares. Rudy is decently intelligent at least when it comes to knowing the value of an item. He has a knack for knowing what will sell and what won't. He also is handy with a toolbox.

Other: 

Negative Attributes: Rudy is unskilled when it comes to weapons. Rudy is a trader and would much rather hire a gun than use one himself. Rudy also has little interest in computers. Patching wires is one thing but rewriting code and hacking is something he is completely unfamiliar with. 

Biography: Rudy is born and raised in one of the small settlements outside of Memphis. That being said, he has also seen much of the surrounding area. Rudy grew up poor. His dad was a scavenger. Mother was too. Hell, until they both fell down a mineshaft when he was eighteen he thought he was going to be a scavenger. He was an only child. His parents thought it would be harder to refuse a child than an adult so whatever they scavenged, it was up to Rudy to sell it. Whether he was selling irradiated water and food to travelers or scavenged scrap to shopkeepers, he always did it with a smile. At first, no one would buy from him. As he grew in size and became a more and more familiar face, people began to trade with him.

By the time Rudy's parents died he had been trading with the townspeople for six years. Since Rudy was in charge of buying supplies and selling whatever they could scavenge, he had the key to the family safe. The family's safe was buried underneath a mattress in one of the first houses Rudy can remember scavenging. After collecting their life savings, a modest sum of 313 caps, he carried the few items he scavenged, the caps, and a grieving heart to town. He sold what little he had and luckily landed an apprenticeship in a local shop. He did well and honed his skill as a salesmen. Eventually he left the shop to set off on his own. There were several times he was destitute and had to revert back to his scavenging to keep from starving. After years of hard work Rudy's smile and suit are a common sight in the streets of the town. It's been years since he last scavenged. Now scavengers come to him to sell their wares. He has a small shop on the corner of one of the busier streets. It isn't easy, but it's a helluva a lot easier than the life he had growing up.
