(88 kg)<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Brown<br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Greenish brown<br/><strong>Face Claim:</strong> Jason Chambers<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong> <br/>Built hard and athletic, Ryan has been a fighter his entire life. Scar tissue over his cheekbones and eyebrows shows this. His father and mother were Irish immigrants and taught their boy Gaelic as well as English, and as such, while his accent has mostly been taken over by his Boston roots, he does have a hint of an Irish lilt to his speech. His eyes change in color, depending on the lighting, between green in white light and brown in yellow light. His hair is generally cut short and spiked, with just a hint of a full beard beginning to grow on his jaw and chin.<br/><br/>His father owned the gym at which he works, and as such, he grew up around body builders and fighters alike, and his body reflects something of a mix of the two. Well built and very athletic, with light feet and a mean right hook, he was a good pick to represent his gym in both low budget boxing matches and the underground fistfights that his uncle sponsored. Flat knuckles a naturally tense jaw were the result.<br/><br/>He dresses casually unless absolutely necessary, sporting denim pants and a shirt with the name of some fighting club or another on the front, as well as his father's old leather jacket, an item from which he will never be parted. Heavy shoes that are good for running and kicking are another necessary part of his everyday attire.<br/><br/>A handful of scars pockmark his body, with a slashing knife wound maybe five inches long across his back, a stabbing scar in his lower left abdomen and a bullet wound to his shoulder being the most noteworthy. He also has a tribal tattoo around his right arm, with a Celtic knot across his upper back, and a Celtic cross on his left forearm.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> <br/>Ryan, or Private as he became known as, is a hard man. No two ways about it. No sense of tact, he speaks his mind to the point where he has gotten into trouble. Despite this, as well as his formal education or lack thereof, he is fiercely intelligent with a mind for the streets and how to survive on them. His parents instilled senses of honor, respect and family from a very young age. He stands by his friends, and stands against his foes. And the Private has a past of being a very mean foe to have. He hits first and he hits hard and keeps on hitting until he doesn't need to anymore.<br/><br/>His sense of honor doesn't extend to his fighting, which is dirty, low and nasty, symbolic of the streets that he was raised on. He has a temper and a bit of a drinking and smoking problem, which he refuses to admit is a problem at all. Stubborn as a mule and a kick just as strong.<br/><br/>He has the utmost respect for women, even though he has never settled down with a single one yet. Not quite a philanderer and yet far from a priest like his brother, he is a hit with the fairer sex to a point. He is well aware that he strikes below God's greatest gift. While he has never been a religious type, he has a great deal of respect for men of God and the church.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>His father and mother came to the US in the 70s. His father had connections with the Irish mob in Boston, and thus was able to support his family by running a boxing gym out of South Boston, which was a front for the mob's money laundering. Ryan's uncle had been with the group a good while and has been a founding partner of the branch in Boston, having been born there when his father, Ryan's grandfather on his mother's side, has emigrated after WW2. He also helped get the gym off the ground, as well as helping to sponsor fights and fighters. A biker gang was created around the gym, with Ryan's father and Uncle as founding members.<br/><br/>Ryan himself grew up around the criminal types, with the children of gang members former IRA as friends. He learned very early how to handle himself with that crowd, joining his father's gym at the age of 12 and, once he finished High School at 18, becoming a fully integrated trainer, member of the biker club and affiliate for the less than legal happenings at the gym. He got his nickname thanks to the film 'Saving Private Ryan'. Initially, he was not amused, but it stuck.<br/><br/>He was a solid fighter, and his family long gave up on convincing him to take dives in the fights for better payoffs, so he was allowed to continue competing. He never got very high in the ranking thanks to his inability to cave in favor of betting schemes, and so he instead became the man to beat if anyone wanted to get a shot at the higher ups. He won most of his fights, lost a couple and was famed for never letting a fight go to any kind of scorecard. He saw more success in his uncle's underground fist fighting tournaments which allowed for his dirtier style of engagement.<br/><br/>His powers first showed in a fist fight in 2010, when he promptly ended a fight that he was engaged in by hammering his opponent to the ground with enough force to break the man's jaw in three places. His own wrist and two fingers were broken as well, and he had to be hospitalized. Once he got his hand out of the cast, he began seeing small changes in his endurance (never had been his strong suit before) and the power of his strikes. Small changes at first, but they started to grow with alarming frequency. He had a few more issues with injuries from these incidents, but over time, he started to see himself able to control this power of his, as well as feeling stronger. His muscle mass began to increase and his injuries diminished to almost nothing, despite his being able to increase the strength of his powers. Most of his very extended family saw this as him merely hitting his prime a bit early, but there were whispers of him being one of those Evolved that had been on the news lately. He managed to laugh off these whispers, but they began to annoy him. What it they weren't just idle gossip? What if they were right?<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> <br/>Rough sex.
