Ruaridh Minch

Introductions
Ruaridh (pronounced: Roo-ree) Minch is a Man of the Minch; meaning in fact he's not from a fairytale but rather a legend or folkstory. From a long line of ocean dwelling Scottish storm kelpies, Ruaridh is an incredibly talented swimmer and a dedicated prankster – beware of cherry bombs in the school toilets and clingfilmed doorways whenever Ruaridh is around. Destined to sink ships and terrorize sailors, he takes his future surprisingly seriously and makes an effort to appear scary.

Headstrong, mischievous, determined and perpetually cheeky, Ruaridh is considered an acquired taste by many.

Personality:
Ever a bubbling mix of animal aggression and good natured troublemaker, Ruaridh takes great pleasure in chaos and good times. Known to liven up dull royal parties by streaking through them naked or spiking the punch, his alignment is probably chaotic neutral at best. He spends a great deal of his time joking or laughing, and will never miss an opportunity to make a crack about something or someone. Generally, what you see is what you get – Ruaridh wears his heart on his sleeve. Legendary for his gatecrashing, Ruaridh has no compunctions about getting up into people's personal space, your casa is his casa.

However, with the good comes the bad, and due to his part shark content he has occasional moments of staggeringly intense anger or aggression, and he's been known to bite or punch through doors and steel lockers with ease. Hideously competitive, he's driven almost to destructive levels of ambition – he's been known to use aggressive methods of training his teammates on his swim team. When pushed too far he mutates into his blue kelpie form, complete with shark tail and dorsal fins; avoid at all costs.
