Hackett Ruvik

"Walking Arsenal" Hackett Ruvik

Hackett is known for being a bit of a quiet type during most occasions, generally preferring to just give brief responses. When around close friends, he can be more talkative than usual, and speaks up much more often when in a serious situation. While he was an early childhood friend of Ace, Lucile and Scarlet, and born in the Cardinal Planes, he grew up in Caligra after leaving his birthplace with family. He stands strong alongside Silf as a renowned guild member of Trelador, and is on good terms with Avalar.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Hackett has black hair and eyes, stands fairly tall, and has a metallic left arm.

Special abilities

Hackett's Warrior Affinity allows him to boost his body's strength and agility, as well as empowering his weapons. Hackett's metal arm hits with a force greater than a hammer and the bolts are fired at a powerful velocity. The explosions from his bombs can blast and scorch through most hardened scales.

Apparel & Accessories

Hackett wears a white cloak, and carries around an arsenal under his cloak, consisting of; dual double-axes, bolas, bombs, throwing knives, and a large, bulky revolver whose size is an obvious display of its power. Alongside all that, he carries a small pouch for minimal ammunition, and a number of blank cartridges for his blast chamber. His left arm is made of metal and is built like a weapon, consisting of small hatch-like compartments - one on the upper-forearm, one on the elbow, and another on the wrist. The grenades he uses are black and spiked, and have short, thick fuses.

Specialized Equipment

Hackett's metal arm and majority of his equipment is made of heavy-duty Barriore and Dunecutter metals, making it extremely sturdy, but notably heavy at the same time. The compartment on the elbow holds a small blast chamber inside. Within the blast chamber is Flamma Crystal powder, which detonates when sparked, causing his punch to throw forward with added velocity. Without the use of his Warrior Affinity, this would throw off his balance - pulling him with its thrown force - and highly likely injure his body in the process. The blast chamber also requires a cooldown and refill every time it is detonated. Flamma crystal powder is also used in the bombs he carries, which heavily increase the blast radius, and the power. The revolver he wields acts as a last-resort, packing serious firepower. The fuses of the bombs spark easily when grinded against the metal of his arm.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Hackett initially grew up alongside Ace, Lucile and Scarlet, in the old village in the Cardinal Planes, but at an early age Hackett’s family left to live in Caligra. Living there in another village, Hackett grew up to survive in the harshness of the Shifting Sands, and once he was much older he began his journey to Caligra's capital - Trelador. On his way there he came across Avalar, who was moments before entering his second deep slumber. In that unlikely encounter, Hackett vowed to watch over Caligra as well, before continuing on his way. Once he reached Trelador, he met with Silf, and the two teamed up together in a monster hunting guild. During one of their hunts the Corruption outbreak hit Caligra. They faced a Fissured Corrupt for the first time - the "Desolator" Drach't. Hackett fought to keep the people of his village safe, but in his attempt to fight alone, one of Drach't's lesser copies tore off his left arm. Once the duplicates were driven off, Silf built him a new, weaponized arm, which she would continue to upgrade later on.

Personality Characteristics

Likes & Dislikes

Hackett prefers to be out on a hunt, and enjoys bringing back a boastful hoard to Trelador once finished with his hunts. While he greatly dislikes when things don't go to plan, he also dislikes monotony, and hates when his hunts are interrupted.
