Rusty is belligerent yet thin-skinned. He takes pleasure in mocking others, but getting insulted in turn can frustrate and make him feel humiliated to the point he leaves his victim altogether. He is not that bright, especially when compared with others, but he does have moments of deep thought. His insensitive and abrasive nature is only amplified by bigoted nicknames he likes to give others. Hates being called by his actual name, Ruben.
