+ | Russell tends towards quiet, dry-witted affability. He is often reserved in large crowds -- a limited number of close friends is more his speed. Reserved does not equate to shy, however, and he is more than willing to turn loose his wit (or shoot his mouth off, depending on who you ask) if the opportunity presents itself. On the clock, he endeavors to project an affable, thoughtful professionalism. This has generally made him well-liked both professionally and socially. | ||

+ | Among those who've gotten to know him, Russell is generous, gregarious, loyal, and surprisingly charming. Those close to him, sadly, also get to know his less laudable traits: an easily-manipulated guilt complex, overthinking things, an inconsistently-resisted tendency towards self-pity, and easily lapsing into old vices (i.e., heavy drinking, smoking, and sex) when under stress. He still believes strongly in the Toronto Police Service motto -- "To Serve and Protect" -- and while he has managed to temper this ideal somewhat with a pragmatic understanding of the secret world, he has proven unable (or unwilling) to abandon it. This "knight in shining armor" tendency both adds to his likability and gets him in hot water. Sometimes, it does both simultaneously. | ||

+ | Russell's hobbies include reading (both fiction and history), clubbing, bad movies and their subculture (i.e., Mystery Science Theater 3000 and its derivatives), “geek” culture, music (both listening to and performing), and time spent with family and friends. | ||

* Pistols. While he is proficient with all types of firearms, handguns are his forte, and his marksmanship with them is considered to be among the best of his generation in the Templar field-agent corps. This is not entirely surprising, as during his time with the TPS, he was a competitive shooter, and consistently placed as a finalist in departmental contests. Much of his effectiveness with handguns is derived from an active use of his intuition when shooting: a "sixth sense" for placing his shots where they'll do the most damage. Perhaps his favorite "trick" with firearms is to combine them with elemental magic, using air manipulation to increase a round's accuracy and stopping power, or enhancing its effects with elemental aspects. He has a special fondness for handguns in .45 ACP, and has amassed a rather sizable collection of them. His standard weapons are a pair of highly-modified SIG-Sauer P220 .45s with customized grips (modified to channel anima for both ammunition and damage enhancement, but also to act as elemental foci) called "Lilly" and "Belle," a “Thumper” shotgun of Red Hand manufacture, and a modified "Black Eagle" AKM of similar provenance to the Thumper. | * Pistols.
