	He used to be extremely distrustful of others because of what happened early in his life, but ever since he met Hyde and joined the [[Adventurers' Guild]], he's been learning how to open up to and put his trust in others without pushing them away, so as long as they don't betray him in return. He's slowly learning how to trust in himself, though, given how much he's struggled with that, and he has quite the long way to go.

He's slowly learning how to trust in himself, though, given how much he's struggled with that, and he has quite the long way to go.

	~~In other words,~~ Ruairi thinks he's got everything figured out in his life, but there are still some remaining open wounds that yearn to be treated, some that he is too much of a coward to confront. For example, when it comes to a certain tragedy in his younger days, it is one that he is painfully aware of and has confronted before but has not completely processed when it comes - other than coming to terms with the eventual passing of his parents post-accident. It doesn't help that even though he has mastered control of his aspect, Ruairi fears the day that he will lose control of it anyway, but it's not too to worry about these days - or so he thinks. He believes that he's truly moved on from Hyde's tragic circumstances and reflected on the good parts of his time with her, but the truth is that he hasn't completely done so just yet, her influence and legacy dictating his choices ever so slightly even if he's made a name for himself.		Ruairi thinks he's got everything figured out in his life, but there are still some remaining open wounds that yearn to be treated, some that he is too much of a coward to confront. For example, when it comes to a certain tragedy in his younger days, it is one that he is painfully aware of and has confronted before but has not completely processed when it comes - other than coming to terms with the eventual passing of his parents post-accident. He still feels guilt for having caused the fire at the grand library in Bellvué, even if he has received consolation and comfort from its inhabitants who know that it isn't his fault. It doesn't help that even though he has mastered control of his aspect, Ruairi fears the day that he will lose control of it anyway, but it's not too to worry about these days - or so he thinks. He believes that he's truly moved on from Hyde's tragic circumstances and reflected on the good parts of his time with her, but the truth is that he hasn't completely done so just yet, her influence and legacy dictating his choices ever so slightly even if he's made a name for himself - it prevents him from moving on ever so slightly.

	In combat, he maintains a steady composure while making quick work of his opponents, always maintaining focus when he doesn't seem like it; some may perceive him as a bit cocky until they are at the mercy of his swordsmanship. There's a good chance that he might get way into the thrill of fighting, but only when he's really enjoying it. However, once things get extremely dire or when his life is in extreme danger, that lovely personality of his breaks immediately. He becomes more aloof, serious, and brutal, showing no mercy to those who stand in his way - a stark reflection of his former days as a mercenary. Those who have witnessed this side of Ruairi have commented on how terrifying he is, and his stare is the equivalent of staring directly into death. Even when he's more of a cold-hearted killer in such situations, there's no doubt that he still cares for his friends and comrades, even when it's not that apparent.

	Ruairi is described as carefree and calm on the outside. When you get to know him better (or if he likes you and really warms up to you quickly), he acts more like a golden retriever; he's much more joyful, excitable, and a bit vulnerable if you're especially close to him. While he doesn't mind being alone, he hates being lonely more than anything else, possibly because he spent decades traveling Castrella on his own, and that the ever-creeping feeling of loneliness has been eating away at him for a long time. As a result, he secretly craves for companionship, which he is actively working on luckily enough.		Ruairi is described as carefree and calm on the outside.

	Ruairi is weak to teasing, flirting, and all displays of affection and interest; using that against him will put him at a massive disadvantage. This is probably because he used to turn away people out of fear that he will be betrayed later on, so he doesn't know how to respond to such acts as a result.

He might mince his words once in a while, but he will try to rectify it.

	When it comes to his mentor, Hyde, Ruairi becomes very sentimental about her, recalling the many memories he made while she was alive. Should the conversation involve Hyde, anyone in it would find that the late mentor has left a large positive impact on the Kindred.

	Should Ruairi lose his hilt, he can choose to materialize an odachi made of pure flames. It consumes a lot more Aether than usual and is far more destructive.

	=== Blazing Augmentation ~~(Fire)~~ ===		==== Blazing Augmentation ====
	Ruairi can use his fire aspect to engulf his weapon in flames for a short period of time. He tends to use this ability a lot in combat, but he can use it to make his weapon function more like a torch. He can also use his flame-augmented weapon to unleash devastating sword waves made out of fire.		Ruairi can also use his fire aspect to engulf his weapon in flames for a short period of time.

He can also use his flame-augmented weapon to unleash devastating sword waves made out of fire.

	Ruairi's arms alone cannot generate flames in a stable manner; instead, an object must be held by those arms so that it can be engulfed in fire, provided that it doesn't burn up too quickly. Despite this, Ruairi is still capable of generating things made out of fire using his arms (e.g. a flame-like odachi that he creates should both of his blades be unavailable); it's just what without an Arcane Focus to rely on, the shape of these flames will end up being unstable and difficult to control, something Ruairi barely uses. It also raises his body temperatures a little bit if this happens, so he must be careful when considering raising or lowering his heat output levels in combat.

It also raises his body temperatures a little bit if this happens, so he must be careful when considering raising or lowering his heat output levels in combat.

	=== Heat Adjustment ~~(Fire)~~ ===		==== Heat Adjustment ====
	Ruairi is able to adjust the heat of his flames. He can make the flames so hot that when his flame-augmented weapon cuts into an opponent, it quickly cauterizes the inflicted wounds and leaves no traces of battle on the weapon that was used. The higher the heat output, the more Aether is used up, so Ruairi tends to keep the heat levels of his flames on a normal to low setting. He usually keeps it at a low setting during sparring matches, and at a normal setting during missions. The only time he increases the heat output is when he finds himself facing against a powerful opponent, usually during quests.		Ruairi is able to adjust the heat of his flames.

	# '''High output:''' Consumes more Aether than usual and outputs higher levels of heat. Gradient reaches up to the upper arms, and light streaks are brighter and numerous. Can cauterize wounds in this state. Extremely prolonged use may result in scarring and temporary numbness. Body tempereatures rise a little higher, resulting in more sweating and possibly heat exhaustion if used for a prolonged period of time. It is recommended that Ruairi used this output setting for no more than an hour.		# '''High output:''' Consumes more Aether than usual and outputs higher levels of heat.

	# '''Maximum output:''' Consumes dangerous amounts of Aether and outputs extremely high levels of heat. Gradient reaches up to the shoulders, and light streaks are at their brightest and appear more fractured. Prolonged use and overexertion may result in permanent, life-altering injuries to the arms and the Aether-producing organ. Is extremely difficult to get into this state as Ruairi would just pass out or fall ill from Aether exhaustion, but it is considered an absolute last resort option if it can be pulled off. Body temperatures rise at dangerous levels, risking Ruairi the possibility of heat stroke (or worse, death) if this output setting is used for longer than intended. Because of this, it is recommended to use this setting for no more than 15 to 30 minutes, with the former being recommended to minimize possible damages to the body and the latter being the maximum time allowed before such damages get exponentially worse.		# '''Maximum output:''' Consumes dangerous amounts of Aether and outputs extremely high levels of heat.

			==== Composure ====
			In order for Ruairi to properly control his aspect, it is important he remain in a state of calm, no matter which emotion he is feeling. Should he start to panic, the flames will begin to go out of control, and depending on how severe that loss of composure is, the consequences may be catastrophic worst-case scenario, including damage to Ruairi's surroundings, possible cause of a wildfire, or worse, death to the people affected including himself. It is also difficult for Ruairi to turn off his aspect unless he calms down, which is why he must steel himself before and during use of his abilities.

	Ruairi is described as carefree and calm. When you get to know him better (or if he likes you and really warms up to you quickly), he acts more like a golden retriever; he's much more caring, excitable, and a bit vulnerable if you're especially close to him. While he doesn't mind being alone, he hates being lonely more than anything else, possibly because he spent nearly a century traveling Castrella on his own, and that the ever-creeping feeling of loneliness is slowly getting to him. As a result, he secretly craves for companionship.		Ruairi is described as carefree and calm.

	He used to be distrustful of others because of what happened early in his life, but ever since he met Hyde and joined the [[Adventurers' Guild]], he's ~~learned~~ how to open up to and put his trust in others without pushing them away, so as long as they don't betray him in return. He's slowly learning how to trust in himself, though, given how much he's struggled with that.		He used to be extremely distrustful of others because of what happened early in his life, but ever since he met Hyde and joined the [[Adventurers' Guild]], he's been learning how to open up to and put his trust in others without pushing them away, so as long as they don't betray him in return. He's slowly learning how to trust in himself, though, given how much he's struggled with that.

	In combat, he maintains a steady composure while making quick work of his opponents, always maintaining focus when he doesn't seem like it; some may perceive him as a bit cocky until they are at the mercy of his swordsmanship. There's a good chance that he might get way into the thrill of fighting, but only when he's really enjoying it. However, once things get extremely dire or when his life is in extreme danger, that lovely personality of his breaks immediately. He becomes more aloof, serious, and brutal, showing no mercy to those who stand in his way - a stark reflection of his former days as a mercenary. Those who have witnessed this side of Ruairi have commented on how terrifying he is, and his stare is the equivalent of staring directly into death. Even when he's more of a cold-hearted killer in such situations, there's no doubt that he still cares for his friends and comrades, even when it's not that apparent.
