▶ FIRM — Rubin is a dutiful and diligent individual, as they believe that things should be achieved fair and square. They have a sense of pride to hold and would not back down to people, establishing themself to be dependable and refrain from being dependent as possible. While this served them well, it made them difficult to cope with failure to do something, making them self-critical, feeling shame, and/or being hard to themself, especially thinking that they should have done better.
▶ RESPONSIBLE — Rubin is capable to taking responsibility of their actions, whether good or bad. They don't like other people facing the consequence because of them, so someone had to take the bullet. However, this made Rubin lack the ability to blame people in serious situations especially if it was someone close to them, thus they are prone to internalizing and self-criticism. This is one of the things that can possibly break them down, especially when not given the time for themself.
▶ SELF-CONTROLLED — Usually, Rubin is the person to hold their temper and thoughts at bay. They would feel very upset at first then try to process what they felt, and sometimes Rubin would let people know that they are upset if they want to. However, if they could no longer stand something that is unacceptable in their view (e.g someone hurting his family, horrible insults), that's where Rubin decides to drop everything and lose their temper.
▶ DIRECT — Someone who is straight to the point, Rubin likes simply directly telling others the truth and their thoughts. They aren't a person to do sugarcoating and being capable of calling out the people who did something that is clearly wrong to their book. This usually makes people certain that they are hearing the right set of information. However, if Rubin isn't being careful especially when they are feeling tensed, they would end up being blunt and tactless. Rubin is no stranger to regretting what they said when pointed out by someone in that case.
▶ CARING — Being the eldest with six siblings made Rubin a compassionate and nurturing individual, even if they don't say it out loud. They were willing to help and would try their best to understand, especially to those who seemed to deserve it. No matter how exasperated they tend to be towards their siblings, they would still do their best to get all of them out from harm's way. Additionaly, even if they're quite a busy individual with their job and their family, Rubin will always make sure that the kids have enough attention for them to know that they're not being neglected nor abandoned, even if it meant being self-sacrificial.
▶ AMBIVERTED — People tend to mix up whether Rubin is an introvert in a party or an extrovert in a book club, when they were actually stuck in between. They find that being around people is okay to them and would try to engage in a conversation to anyone. However, there are times that they would gradually get tired and will try to excuse themself to be in somewhere quiet and peaceful. They don't have any difficulties in adjusting or gradually shifting some bits of their personality depending on what kind of company they're with.

➥ Background History
▶ CHILDHOOD —
Rubin is the eldest child to Auror Marleiv and Potioneer Kristborg Eide, both half-bloods. His father Marleiv didn't have a happy childhood per se, as being born to a pureblood man with his half-blood mistress caused them to be disowned and having to start a living from scratch. Having a semi-stable life wasn't enough for him and motivated him to work hard to have a better life for his family. In Durmstrang, Marleiv was a kind-hearted and hardworking student who gets stressed because of his studies while additionally being treated badly by his bitter triplet half-siblings. On the other hand, he also met Kristborg Borgasdottir, a headstrong Quidditch seeker who ended up being study-partners. With the two of them working together, Marleiv's school life and self-esteem improved because of her encouragement while Kristborg's grades improved for his assistance. After they graduated, Marleiv became an auror to focus on improving his family's life, whereas Kristborg became a known potion mistress and her family helped him out as well. Eventually after they went steady, they both moved to live together and had their first child named Rubin. A few years, months after their second son Austmar was born, the Marleiv and Kristborg felt comfortable enough to get married after being certain that they were really willing to be together.
Rubin's childhood was happy and uneventful at best, if one didn't count about him inheriting his maternal grandmother's ability as a metamorphagus. Because he lived in a muggle community, he wasn't allowed to go out with the presence of muggle and practiced himself in controlling his ability. He was homeschooled surrounded by private tutors and nurturing his talents, while growing up being inspired by his mother to have a passion of potionmaking. As Rubin got older, he was finally allowed to go to wizarding villages and communities, but overall he lived a sheltered life.
▶ SCHOOL LIFE —
Sorted to Team Keltainen for his creativity and ambition, Rubin had a good start in his first year at school. He joined the Quidditch team as a Chaser and was one of the valued players the moment he took the mantle in the first string. Though, while he was well-read to the subjects he was studying, Rubin found himself having the Dark Arts being his weakness that he was being made fun about among his peers.
The moment his brother Austmar entered school, they apparently attracted the attention of their half-cousins. Not just half-cousins- but bitter, snotty, and vengeful half-cousins because apparently, their parents passed down their hatred about one, they were related to half-blood bastards and two, the story about how their grandfather would rather go to a half-blood woman than his prestigious pureblood wife. Due to the fact that Rubin was homeschooled and wasn't that good in handling conflicts, he was being verbally bullied by them and their friends. Rubin had been enduring their treatment and didn't back down for them, but it didn't mean that he wasn't emotionally hurt. Handling them, as well as Rubin's duty of pulling Austmar out of fights had affected even his grades.
Rubin's days of being diplomatic and patient for his pureblood relatives were over in his seventh year when he heard the news of Austmar getting beaten up by them just because he won in an Annual Dueling Competition with a certain cousin who had his ego screwed up for losing. Enraged, Rubin went to a real blow-up with them and ended up with a bloody fist fight the next morning. After that incident, Rubin decided that he shouldn't spare their feelings whenever he wanted to clear things up for them especially when he felt like they deserved it.
▶ POST-GRADUATION —
After graduating, the young Norwegian felt the desire the be a journalist and travel around Scandinavia. Rubin was also a free-lance short story write while occasionally helping out his mother on her potionmaking business when he's at home. Then, at age twenty, he decided to move to the British Isles to step on a new level and find new writing sources, eventually applying for the Daily Prophet as a writer. One time while he was doing his job, he met a Muggleborn witch named Anika, an auror who happened to be Matteo's friend. He saw Anika as a friend until Matteo intervened in getting them together as she turned out actually like him, mainly to get the whole suspension done. Rubin reciprocated and so they dated, and after three years, they got married. The newlywed settled at St. Ottery Catchpole and Anika was suggesting in having a kid, except Rubin was very hesitant that they decided to adopt instead. They eventually adopted a two year-old named Drew in Wool's Orphanage and Rubin helped in nurturing her love for books, as they apparently share the same interest. A year later, their twin children came along and were born rather unexpectedly- but Rubin decided to keep them, since Anika said she was okay with it.
Things were doing fine until his wife started to get more involved to her work, making excuses, and barely ever present in their lives. Anika didn't compromise on her job to the point that Rubin saw this as unfair as he tried to save their relationship and giving her chances. She then reasoned that since she came out fine even if her parents were incredibly busy on their jobs, she expected that Rubin could do the same. That sparked an argument between the two and they ended up filing a divorce, which badly affected Rubin in the process. While the court announced joint custody due to the fact that Anika wasn't protesting and thinking that Rubin might be overwhelmed about being a single parent to three children, he decided to pack up his bags and the kids. He moved to the Diagon Alley and bought a Potions Shop to stabilize his income, as he thought that he would rather do this than "mooching off" from his parents. But unfortunately, neither he nor Anika told the children that they were no longer together.
With his brothers Matteo and Austmar supporting him sometimes, Rubin raised his kids while handling his business and his journalism, making him very stressed no matter how he didn't try to show. Anika rarely showed up, but still barely present in their lives. One day, a customer came to his potion shop by the name of Niall Hughes, an Irishman who was awkward the first time they met. Rubin found him funny and hilarious, even made him smile when he usually wasn't during that time. Eventually, he was more taken back when Niall actually compliment him, especially about his hair. After that incident, a visitor came to him by the name of Ada Whitethorne- who happened to be the Head Potioneer's daughter. She informed him about how Niall actually thought he was "cute", as well as she was under the impression that Rubin was flirting the poor man. Not wanting to go down the road of heartbreak again as well as to clear up the air, Rubin went to confront Niall using the address Ada had given to him. It did not end well- as Rubin's blunt nature angered Niall that he ended up slamming the door on his face. Regretting what he said, Rubin apologized and offered a truce to him- and so he didn't speak to him for one whole year.
Year 2034, two days after his eldest's birthday, Rubin and Anika had an argument because she wants to postpone the supposed outing, clearly showing that Anika had once again valued her work above all. They also mentioned about their divorce and unbeknownst to them, Drew was actually eavesdropping. His daughter ended up resenting him throughout the year and Rubin was left facing the consequences. He saw this coming, he just didn't want to admit it so. Rubin had been internalizing to the point that it was hindering his tasks as well as his metamorphagus abilities. Swallowing up his pride, he finally sought help to Niall as he was a therapist to the wizarding community. Rubin then struggled in getting his life right by taking Niall's word and advice. The more they conduct sessions, the more Rubin had said more about his past that he had never thought he would say freely. He also ended up coming clean to his two remaining children, the result was something he feared and expected; Dagrun had ended up being distant to him while Donner on the other hand became more sensitive (and more aggressive). And for the last time, he convinced Anika to be with him to finally discuss to the children about the cause of their divorce. But after the discussion, Anika just disappeared from their lives and never visited.
Year 2035, his sister Arnbjorg traveled to Britain and wanted to learn the basics around England, so Rubin let her live in his loft as they were close siblings. His sister kept on insisting that she wants to help him until Rubin gave up and let Arnbjorg help around the shop as well as looking after his kids if she wanted to, though she also apparently wanted to help him more the moment he finally told her many things about his hardships. The therapy has been going for two and a half years; He was in slow non-linear healing until he heard that Anika was actually engaged to someone else, a Ministry worker who was probably better than him. That forced him to square one and Rubin hated to admit it, but this made him hurt and wonder if he was really not good enough for anyone. Arnbjorg finally had enough and insisted that he should take a god-forsaken break away from England, even if it was just staying at their home in Norway. Feeling homesick, Rubin reluctantly accepted her suggestion and took his kids on a trip to his home country. He at first felt awkward especially when his father Marleiv kept on pestering him if he was okay, which Rubin tried to avoid answering. Then one time, Marleiv casually proposed an night outing with just him and his eldest for no other reason than just bonding after years of distance (no lie, it's actually true). Rubin reluctantly accepted his offer and... Marleiv's plan of 'night outing' didn't come out as something he expected to be other than a casual talking with drinks. Instead, Rubin apparently took "enough" drinks to accidentally confess about his problems, which sincerely worried Marleiv. So he had to stop the outing immediately and they never spoke of it the next day until the two of them finally settled down and awkwardly talked each other out. Rubin was honestly surprised that his father was actually doing to opposite of chewing out and so he ended up being at ease for the rest of the vacation.
And so, 2036 after coming back to England, Rubin came home with a good pace of recovery after months of decompression. At July, feeling that he was okay enough to get back to normal business, Rubin settled to talk to Niall about leaving therapy and much to his surprise, the other man was okay with it- as long as he finds time to vent in safe places and take a break if overwhelmed. Apparently, this started their slow beginning of their friendship.

➥Rubin really doesn't mind being called 'father' or 'pappa' by their children, as long as they see them as a parent, they're happy. ➥Additionally, to their family, Rubin doesn't mind being called 'bror', 'søsken', 'son', or whatever. Any term is fine as long as they see Rubin as part of the family. ➥But all of these doesn't mean they're exclusively a guy.
