Description
This is an exercise I thought up to help with understanding a character you created or one that you roleplay. Okay! Let's flex those writing muscles! Take the challenge and fill this out with some thought and post it in your blogs if you want! See if you understand your chara a bit better! <---is exercising.

Relationships.
Your character has wandered off in a town/city they're visiting. One of their friends is looking for them. They ask someone on the street if they've seen your character by giving a description. Choose several different characters and write how they would describe your character in this situation (ex: someone might describe them by clothes they're wearing, another might describe their looks, someone who likes them would say they were cute, someone who dislikes them might say they're ugly etc).
Andy: You know, leader of the fighters? Big, tall, wears a green coat? *sighs in annoyance* Long blond hair? Extremely grumpy? handsome
Darren: Umm… *looks sideways nervously* he's… a uhh, Rayquaza? He's… tall and blond… umm… yeah.
Rita: Just tell me where Rufus is! You should know what your damn leader looks like!
Yates: Hey, have you seen Mr. Stick-up-his-ass?
Cana: He's about this tall *demonstrates his height* Long hair, slightly feminine look, cute, umm, he usually has a grumpy look…

Your character is getting changed and is at least half naked when someone accidentally walks in! Choose several different characters to put in this situation of the person walking in then for each write how your character would react and how the person walking in would react (ex: if it's someone they dislike they might freak out or call them a pervert, if it's someone they like they'll be really embarrassed etc etc)
(Andy walks in) Andy, have you heard of knocking? *unamused face*
(Astenos walks in) Get out. *unamused look*
(Spook walks in) What the hell are you even doing here?! *unamused face*
(Rioyaru walks in) *sighs slowly* What do you want? *unamused look*
(Gene walks in) No. Just no. Out. Now. *unamused face*

Who would your character go to for love advice?
No one. He seems to think that he has is all figured out. Uh huh, keep fooling yourself, Rufus.

Choose a few characters and write about what might happen if they were to switch bodies with your character.
(Rufus and Andy)
Rufus: Great, thanks Andy.
Andy: I'm not the one who did anything!
Rufus: I wouldn't put it beneath you.
Andy: *rages*
(Rufus and Rita)
Rufus: *pissed off* What the hell did you do this time?!
Rita: Oww! No wonder you always are so rude, you can barely walk through a doorway without hitting your head! Why don't you shrink a few inches, maybe people would like you better!
Rufus: Fix me. Now.
Rita: GIVE ME BACK MY PUPPETS!! NOW!!!!!
Rufus and Darren
Darren: Oh god, I'm Rufus, oh god!
Rufus: *stares up at him annoyed* Uh huh, yeah keep complaining, Darren, this is a major improvement for you.
Darren: *uses his new height to stare down at Rufus* Oh. So that's what it's like…

Emotions.
How easily is your character moved to this emotion? What are some things that would make them feel that way and why?  How do they show this emotion outwardly? How do they feel about that emotion (do they hate being scared more than anything or are they uptight and don't like to show their happiness?)
Happiness: He's hardly ever happy there may be a slight chuckle or smirk  here and there but he's too grumpy to let himself be happy. Only time he get's close is training, and he usually feel contentment then.
Sadness: He hates feeling sad so will then force himself to turn it into anger. When it gets overwhelming, he'll make sure he's alone and cry sit with himself until he calms down.
Anger: Probably his most familiar emotion, I wouldn't say he enjoys it but for some reason he feels safe when he's angry. He'll yell and say whatever the hell he wants and not care what people think. If others gets mad at him in response, he'll get even more mad until he blows himself out and then he's usually calm and infuriating to the person who's still calm.
Jealousy: Hmm… he hasn't actually experienced this in any of the RPs I don't think… but he'd probably stare across the room at whatever/whoever he was jealous of and think nasty thoughts about them. If he's overly jealous, he'll make that person's life hell. But I don't know lol.
Embarrassment: Uhh… another one he'd try to hide as best he could. He'd either act like nothing happen, change the subject, ignore whoever/whatever embarrassed him, if it continued he'd turn it into, surprise surprise, anger.
Fear: He avoids it completely. Some things he forces himself to face and get over the fear, but what he can't accomplish that with, he'll avoid. In a fight if he get's startled/close to getting killed he'll feel fear and suddenly lash out with more power to defend himself.
Shock: He'll stare at whatever shocked him with a slightly startled look, then quickly get a hold of himself and blank out his expression and deal with the shock.
Disgust/contempt: He'll express his opinion against whatever is disgusting him, usually saying whatever he thinks, his face will be scrunched up slightly in disgust etc.

Reactions.
How would your character react to the following situations? How would they outwardly react? How would they feel on the inside? If any of the situations are impossible to ever happen to the character explain why. The notes in parenthesis are just hints to get your ideas flowing, not multiple choices.
They realize they've been walking out in public with their underwear showing (ex: are they extremely embarrassed, could they not care less, do they think it's funny?)
Rufus: *looks down at himself startled, the shoots into the air to fly back home, without saying a word.*
A hobo asks them for some spare change. (ex: give him whatever is in their pocket, ignore them, give them as much money as they can afford to give out)
Rufus: No. *walks past him* Get a job.
They're hit on by a stranger while they're out alone in a public place. (ex: politely turn them down, coldly reject them, encourage them, mace them, take it as a compliment etc etc)
Rufus: *raises an eyebrow, unimpressed* Excuse me? No. *walks by*
Someone recognizes them from something and asks for their autograph.
Rufus: No. *walks by them-.-*
They get a cold (are they the type who tries to keep going on as usual, the type who stays in bed, etc).
Rufus: *ignores it, and goes about his business, once it get's worse, he'll stay at home and order no one to disturb him*
Someone accidentally bumps into them and makes your character drop everything they're holding (do they get mad, apologize to the other person, say sorry but feel irritated, etc).
Rufus: *get's pissed and stares the person down* Pick it up. *waits for them to pick it up, if they don't comply he'll force them*
They see someone being bullied in some way and no one else is helping them.
Rufus: *sighs and goes over to see what's happening, if the person deserves it, he'll watch, if they don't, he warn the bully and if the bully doesn't stop them, he'll attack him and chase him off*
A little lost child comes over to them and tugs on their shirt crying for their mommy (gender of the child can be decided by you).
Rufus: *sighs, groaning inwardly and takes the kid to find their mother, and will probably have something to say to the parents about watching their kids better.*
They wake up in bed next to someone and completely can't remember how they got there.
Rufus: *slowly opens his eyes and they widen when he sees Andy curled up next to him* WHAT THE-
Andy: *wakes up and screams, smacking Rufus in the face in attempt to get away from what she believes to be a house invader and falls off the bed, clutching the blanket*
Rufus: *stands on the opposite side of the bed, staring at her suspiciously*
Andy: *straightens up, the blanket wrapped around her* Rufus?!
Rufus: Yes Andy, now what on earth are you doing in my bed?!
Both stand there awkwardly.

Some more
How do they feel around the following people? How do they react to them? What is their attitude towards them?
Children: He doesn't like them but will tolerate if necessary. He'll grow a soft spot for them eventually
Authority figures: Concerning the other leaders, he treats them as his equals (HA YEAH RIGHT) supposedly which is just getting in arguments usually. >.> If someone was higher, he'd respect them, but that respect would be lost if they did something stupid or unhonorable etc.
People of the opposite gender: Women usually annoy him one way or another. >.> Sexist
Royalty: Similar to someone higher than him, he'll respect them until they abuse that respect whatever.
What kind of people does your character fear? Any specific people? Why?
Uhhh… I think he's mostly weirded out by crazy people, they annoy him etc. Don't know about fear cause he's all like I'M TOUGH
What kind of people does your character really like?
People who don't press him, people who understand him without him  having to tell them, people who can handle his 'behavior'.
What kind of people is your character attracted to (what is their 'type')?
Refer to the above one lol. Someone who doesn't need an explanation for everything her does. *rolls eyes*
What kind of people does your character despise? Any specific people? Why?
People who don't listen to him, who pester him about things he doesn't want to talk about, people who think they know him etc.
What kind of people does your character get jealous of? Any specific people? Why?
Uhh… maybe sometimes he'll get jealous of people who live a 'normal' life and seem to not have any care in the world.
What kind of people does your character admire? Any specific people? Why?
People who know what they're supposed to be doing and do it, people who don't get angry easily when he 'confronts' them.
Recurring themes in their clothing? signature styles or articles of clothing?
Lol, green Rayquaza style etc.
He stares off angrily sometimes when he's lost in thought, he usually always wears a grumpy face when he doesn't mean too. He walks with his hand on the hilt of his sword and stiff shouldered uhh… that's all I can think of. Oh, he's good at rolling his eyes. >.>
Birth marks, scars, or tattoos? The history/purpose behind them?
He's got the yellow rings thing on Rayquazas on his side, they were there from birth cause it's natural, not to mention his 'wondows'.
He has several scars, most coming from when he faught his clan etc. He got one while hunting as a kid, Jack gave him one when she was sent to assassinate him (or just scare him etc.) Uhh… I fogot what else, just check the scar meme lol.
