Something his mother always taught him ans his sister. He prefers to be called by his middle name or his first name. He thinks Jeremiah is a bit to formal for his taste.

He likes winter out of all the seasons due to his parents staying at home more often when it was to cold to go outside to protest. Rust remains silent most of the time, but he talks more to people when they become his friends. Still a lover of winter, Tyto incorporated his combat gear into his winter gear so that he can do more missions in winter. He also dislikes training to much in the summer due to him overheating and his dislike of heat.

He still has a rivalry with his sister, but since their training at a Jade Fire dojo, the two have started to work together more easily. He also has become more quick-witted in battle since his training.

His favorite food is bacon. He does however put a limit on how much he eats to avoid putting on weight. He also is a bit of a night owl.

His mother taught him and his sister basic combat moves for self defense if they ever get in trouble. His father taught him how to be a good marksman buy using small sniper gauntlets with training bullets.

Rust can endure cold temperatures better than most people due to him growing up in a cold environment. This has however given him a weakness to high temperatures. He also has his fathers keen eyesight and can spot things from a far distance. Due to him being a faunus, he has excellent night vision.

He works extremely well with his sister. Though the two have their differences, they are quite the team and think a lot alike. Due to his training in Jade Fire, Rust learned basic hand-to-hand combat skills, how to treat small wounds and injuries and has good balance in combat.

He learned how to be a highly skilled marksman in the firearms class and can move around quickly while firing at an opponent. His speed and stealth levels are also quite high due to his intensive training. During his stealth training he learned a number of techniques to walk and move silently around opponents as he attacks them. His speed training also made him learn how to make afterimages of himself by shortening his steps, stepping in one direction and then crossing over with the other foot.

Rust uses arm mounted silent wrist rifles with interchangeable barrels, allowing him to quickly recharge his weapon, made from reinforced armor. He uses electrical dust bullets as taser shots to avoid killing people. The turrets of his rifles have built in silencers to avoid any noise being made as he fires.

He communicates with his team leader Fernando by a form of sign language to make strategies silently and to act as Fernandos voice.

His metal necklace broke into three pieces due to a sword blow when the protest went violent. It saved him from a fatal blow.
