Rusty's feet

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 and usually makes up for things with his street smarts. His insensitive and abrasive nature is only amplified by bigoted nicknames he likes to give others. Though is largely due to his own issues accepting his sexuality, amongst many of his insecurities which he choose to reflect onto others, or to mock the aspects of other students that he finds in himself. Despite everything though, he's fiercely loyal to those he cares for, and is determined even in the toughest of times. He hates his legal name (Ruben) and uses nickname given to him by his friends instead (Rusty).

Appearance: Rusty is an anthropomorphic Border Collie-Labrador Retriever mix with floppy ears and a red collar. He wears a red letterman jacket with white sleeves, the right elbow is patched whilst the left is torn. He doesn't wear any clothes other than jacket and collar (It is legal for furries to be fully naked)

Rusty is a student prone to bullying, specifically using homophobic slurs ("f*gs") towards classmates and exhibiting disrespect towards authority figures (headmaster). He is defiant and attempts to manipulate the headmaster by referencing potential legal ramifications ("zoophobic") to avoid consequences. The headmaster employs a new "toleration programme" involving confinement and psychological manipulation, causing Rusty genuine fear despite his outward anger.
