Runo
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Runo is the officially unofficial mascot of the color Crayon Red. Also known as @The Remedy's second serious character ever (and third ever made on CoH, since around the release of the game). Runo is, if he were to be described in one keyword (or in this case appropriate acronym), he would be "WTF-tastic". Others have described him as epic-worthy - others have told me I should shove my head in a woodchipper for making him.

[edit] Affiliations
Runo, being the nutcase he is, would like to have everyone constantly partying in the same room nonstop. Lord Recluse would be the DJ and Statesman would be the big bouncer guy that punches people in the face. Really, it's not any different than how it is now. Suffice to say, Runo keeps his friends and foes at an equal reach.
[edit] Friends
Vertebreaker: In his own words, Runo is Lazarus' "BIGGEST FAN!". He finds Lazarus to be, on a scale of one to ten, epic win. He even made up his own wrestling move called the 'Vertebraider'. He grabs his opponent's head, and at blinding speeds, braids their hair so they "look like a sissy1" Runo intends to show this move to Laz so he can practice it on his foes and become World Champion.
Portal Wombat: No one knows if Portal Wombat exists or is just someone Runo made up, but he always tells the tales of the times he and Wombat used to have. "Oh, that Wombat," he'll begin, "he helped me chew my way out of a giant anaconda back in 'Nam!"
[edit] Associates
Chill Yeti: Poor Runo has no idea that Blake hates his fiery red behind. He thinks Blake is, in his own words, "Cooler than a popsicle! OF COOL COLDNESS THAT'S CHILLY!"
Miss Judgement: Probably the only person that ever agreed to get icecream with Runo. This, of course, made Runo think she's made of awesome.
[edit] Rivals/Questionable Acquaintances
So far, Runo has managed to avoid irking anybody besides Shade Nefarious. And, well, half the D population and about 69.4% of Paragon City. He does, however, have a court order pending for attempting to steal a Stevie Ray Vaughn guitar and break it on his own head in an attempt to imitate Aaron North. Apparently Canada has banned him from passing the border because he ate a moose, mistaking it for a dessert item. "COME HERE DELICIOUS MOOSE! I DESIRE TO INDULGE! ...is it mooses? Moosi? Meeses? Eh-- WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?!"
[edit] Enemies
Shade Nefarious: Over the course of time, Raloz has kidnapped and tortured Runo, possessed him, stole his favorite sword, banished him from Earth and several other nasty things that Runo can't remember. Mostly because he has the memory of a brain-dead squirrel and he forgives people far too easily.
[edit] Personality
It's more than obvious that Runo isn't all there. Take the lolevator to the roflcopter and escape on the Crazy Train, and that's about how insane Runo is. Yet, when needed as a friend, Runo will be there. He can be considered obnoxious, perhaps even agitatingly annoying, but most of the time he is lovable. Rather naive and easy to trick, it's a wonder Runo hasn't gotten into severe trouble yet.
[edit] Powers
He wields fire abilities, super strength, extreme regeneration and the ability to launch himself places at breakneck speeds are his primary abilities.
[edit] Fire Blast
Hell. Fire. Hellfire. He fires hellish blasts of flame. What is there that you don't get?
[edit] Fire Manipulation
He can also manipulate and create flames. He once accidentally set a hobo on fire when he tried to light his cigarette up.
[edit] Additional Powers
Runo is amazing at playing guitar. So amazing, in fact, that he holds the current world record for "Fastest Guitar Solo". He would have won a prestigious Rock Band competition in Paragon City as well, if he hadn't eaten the guitar within the last ten notes.
[edit] Travel
Super Speed: Not only is Runo extremely fast, he's capable of suspending himself against the ground and charging himself up by running super fast, and then launching himself across the way. He can play his guitar so fast that, sometimes when showing off, he spins out of control at breakneck speeds, sending people flying.
[edit] Weaknesses and Limitations
He can't drink or make contact with straight water. Things that have water in them, he's just fine; but tap water, purified water, spring water - he can't drink it or touch it melts him. He also can't directly hear the word "God", "Jesus", "Christianity" or any direct references to the Bible without bursting into unholy flames.
[edit] Equipment
Crayon Red Electric Guitar: This is the guitar he carries around frequently. He's frighteningly good at playing it. Somehow, he can play it without an amp...
