Hobbies▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ModelingHis mom was big into pageant stuff, and was disappointed when she didn't have a little girl, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to try sticking her little boy out there in the spotlight! Ruvik's mom got him in to modeling and acting as a young child, and it has kind of just been something that has been a huge part of his life ever since.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Film-StudyRuvik loves to study pretty much everything about movies - from costume, set, and lighting design, to directing, music, you name it! He particularly has a soft spot for really bad horror films.
Virtues▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ AnalyticalRuvik has always been quite academically gifted, but excels in engineering, putting things together, fixing things, general problem solving, etc. Anything that requires an analytical mind has always been his bread and butter, and if it has a physical/visual component, he is absolutely in his zone. So that cabinet you bought is missing directions? Oh, he can figure it out no problem! No clue where to begin with your Ikea order? Call him. Something broke and you can't get the stuff to fix it? He can definitely figure out some way to rig it to work!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Endearingly DorkyRuvik absolutely exudes that 'lovable dork' energy with a generally upbeat and spunky demeanor, but a humorous ditzy and clumsiness that is hard to get mad at. Especially when he gets so excited about things that he starts to get ahead of himself and just be a total dork, stumbling over himself and his words. He is the kind of person who has that 'child-like wonder' that warms hearts, and tends to make people want to coddle him.
Flaws▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Self-SabatuerRuvik is smart and good at a many number of things, and was a bit of a prodigy in school - a teacher's pet. He was so proud of himself but .... his peers disliked him for it. 'The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.' And he was more motivated by the acceptance of his peers than he was by the admiration of the adults, so over time he started to purposefully make mistakes so that he didn't stand out above the crowd. He didn't speak up as much, and kept quiet so that he didn't vomit all his knowledge all over everyone. Now, as an adult himself, Ruvik still holds back and will see what the highest common denominator is and makes sure he doesn't outshine them. He will turn down spotlight roles, and as a result, keep himself from being all he can be.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Midnight in MeDeep inside him, Ruvik has a darkness that he tries desperately to hide, and it scares him. He is highly aware of how he has had to hold himself back from being 'himself,' so that others will like him, and has developed a resentment, which he tries to keep hidden. Every opportunity that he has to let go is like another nail driven in to him and he can feel the anger grow. He also has questioned if he really is the 'lovable dork' or if that is just him over-compensating for him trying to hide his 'darkness.' He wonders how any of his friendships could be genuine when he isn't being his genuine self. In the end it has filled him with...such doubt in himself and all around him.
