| Rube (Paul Walker) prior to the Barracks |
My personal choice: Paul Walker.
Yes, yes I know the actor passed away in 2013, but he remains my first choice for Rube (though he would have had to dye his hair white-blonde and add more muscle)
In my Chest of Souls Epic Fantasy, Rube Jynn is a hard-working young man whose life ambition is to learn. Rube's eyes are pale blue for a specific reason, which will be revealed in the sequels.
Raised among farmers with high standards and astounding work ethic, he is loyal and fiercely protective of friends and family.
With that said, he has deep emotional conflict. His father, a Ryke (birds) Master, remarried and his stepmother can't stand him. He leaves to work the farms in Lander. Leaving home is okay with Rube because if there is one thing he never wants to do, it's inherit and take care of the family Ryke business.

Rube's strengths are knowledge and loyalty. Of all the men that become Talon's "Elite" Rube is taken the farthest out of his comfort zone (he's never had to fight) and once he is taken prisoner he has to adapt to a brutal environment that life hasn't prepared him for.
Rube Jynn will have a larger role than I first envisioned in the sequels.
