Personality:
I suppose you could say... I'm the living embodiment of a split personality disorder.
I'm opening with a quote, because that's the easiest, simplest way to describe him. Rudy Too came into being when a storm that granted powers struck and made Rudy Wade's innermost insecurities manifest as a living, breathing person. Rudy Too is all the parts of himself Rudy dislikes most, that he would love to push away if he got the chance. As you might expect, Rudy Too is not the most stable of people being the result of this.
Rudy Too is a pessimist, a hypochondriac, and extremely insecure about himself to boot. He is the living embodiment of a killjoy, particularly when it comes to Rudy One. He shares all of Rudy One's memories, and so you might see how it's quite natural that Rudy Too is at his most critical when it comes to him. Unfortunately for Rudy One, Rudy Too's most critical is extremely harsh, and he isn't afraid to bring up the most deeply personal, embarrassing stories that he can think of. He'll remind Rudy One of his embarrassingly long lived bed wetting habits, or his homosexual teenage fantasies, and basically anything they're ashamed of on some level and milk it for all it's worth.
However, despite his less than tactful approach when it comes to Rudy One, Rudy Too does ultimately want what's best for him even if he isn't exactly the best at demonstrating it. They worked together to get the far darker, far more dangerous third aspect of themselves arrested, and Rudy Too has helped Rudy One out of numerous situations. He takes care of him when he's intoxicated, whether that be with alcohol or more questionable substances. He washes their clothes, visits their parents when Rudy One doesn't feel like it, collects their benefits, and keeps them stocked with essential supplies. He doesn't do it without complaint, but he makes sure it happens all the same. He will also show a softer side to Rudy One when he becomes visibly upset, obviously unhappy in that situation despite his seemingly constant quest to point out Rudy One's every single mistake.
He is softer with other people, too. Far more so than he is with Rudy One and far more forgiving of their faults. Not to say he is perfect in his interactions with other people. It was Rudy Too who landed them with community service after trashing an ex-girlfriend's car when she broke up with him, and he is prone to being mopey and miserable around everyone. He is, however, far nicer around them than he is Rudy One on the whole. This has become more obvious after Rudy Too joins a support group for people with powers and begins to see he can have a life outside of Rudy One, though there are occasions where it can be seen prior to that. He's discovered that listening to and helping people makes him happier and more confident in himself, and even finds it gives him a sense of his own identity. This is a stark difference to his attitude from his first appearance when his life revolved entirely around Rudy One and he didn't see anything much beyond that. He's developed a far healthier attitude in recent times, and you can see the difference. He acknowledges problems he genuinely has rather than falsely diagnosing himself with cancer. He doesn't isolate himself as much, and doesn't fool himself into think he can fix everything with anxiety medication and sleeping pills. He has people he can consider his friends, not just Rudy One's. He's starting to see himself as his own person, after starting to find himself content for the first time in his existence he's starting to see that as something he wants for himself.
This is a big change for him, and being only almost a year old it's very different. Previously he very rarely talked to anyone who wasn't Rudy One, and outside the other young offenders nobody knew he was anything but Rudy One. Even his chosen name shows how strongly he views his connection to Rudy One. He sees himself as a secondary aspect of Rudy One, a prime example of his usual inferiority complex, but it isn't just that he's a secondary aspect. He specifies the spelling of T double O because he sees himself as much a part of Rudy as Rudy One is. He is Rudy Too. Even with his recent show of independence that is a crucial part of his identity. He shares all of Rudy One's memories and experiences, and even his feelings prior to their split. He still wants to be Rudy. He's just starting to want to be more of his own Rudy. He enjoys having friends and things that are nothing to do with Rudy One, and has expressed his desire to form his own relationship with their parents. His recent resentment of Rudy One has been focussed more towards his lack of willingness to let him be happy as himself and his insistence he doesn't tell their parents the truth. He's mellowed a little in terms of being critical of him, but this has far more to do with his recent desire to be his own person and a shift to viewing himself separately than it does with him believing Rudy One has become a better person.

Other Notables: Rudy Too is, technically, the embodiment of all Rudy's insecurities. Under ordinary circumstances they can merge and Rudy Too will generally appear when Rudy One is feeling upset or uncomfortable with something. In game Rudy One and Rudy Too will remain separate, however, and will not be able to merge with each other as they usually can.
