He has a habit to shrug off a lot of things and generally lives a carefree life. Outwardly he is outgoing and generally his voice may be heard first above all others. He also has a natural knack at annoying his fellow academy members and sometimes even inspiring magic users to plain out assault him with a spell through various, clownish or even perverse actions. It isn’t a typical, all occasion thing though, Ryuu only does this if he sees something that interests him and wishes to learn it into his growing database. He isn’t shy to beg others for monies or even mooch off of others for food whenever the food vendors may grow irritated at Ryuu’s constantly growing tabs.<br/><br/>Despite Ryuu’s possible bad quirks, he is typically a nice and funny guy. His methods of chivalry may seem a bit unorthodox; even amongst his teammates. Many take him as extra luggage on their missions, but Ryuu is always silently gauging out the dangers and the capabilities of his fellow teammates. He is always the first to innate failure by putting himself in harms way if he doesn’t believe his current team can handle it. Ryuu also never shows the Academy his actual skills, the only times he does toss aside the façade of a ’silly loser’ is when he may be separated from his allies or his allies being incapacitated in a fight; or if push comes to shove, in the most rarest of conditions, an all out life or death situation that he may not be able to avoid to show his true character. The latter fortunately has yet to happen.<br/>Ryuu‘s favorite quote: “Why so serious?”<br/><strong>Weapon/magic:</strong><br/>+Weapon+<br/><em>Meelee Combat</em>- Ryuu doesn’t use natural weapons to fight or even authentic ones that may come from magical use. The young man focuses on primary hand to hand combat, although in some settings he could be at a huge disadvantage against demons or other talented magic users. This is often negated by one of his abilities ‘break.’ Still the extent of his martial arts is unknown, most students have taken him as a complete and utter failure in this field from how he acts with the combat instructor and how often he easily submits in a fight that comes his way.<br/><br/><br/>+Magic+<br/>Signature Ability<br/><em>Imprint</em>- Ryuu is capable of imprinting a huge variety of magic and demonic abilities. Although there are also a few requirements for him to successfully make an exact copy of the spell once it is in his memory bank. Primary, he has to experience it first hand, whether being caught in an area effect of it or directly being damaged by the spell to better calculated the magical properties involved within it. He can still freely create similar spells by visually experiencing the ordeal, but they will not be as powerful or efficient.<br/>People that know of this ability: Current none and preferably would like to keep it that way through the roleplay.<br/><br/><br/>~Spell List /  +Stolen Techniques<br/>~Break - Ryuu can create glyphs that would negate most properties of an oncoming spell/ability attack. He can also control the size of the glyphs, however most of the time he keeps them small for quicker casting and pinpoint accuracy in dispelling or to hide them from those that may be watching him. The further they are from his body the longer they are to create, Ryuu has a preference to combine Break with his own Meelee Combat skills; although generally many don’t get to see the full extent of ‘break’ or Ryuu’s martial art potential as he often uses a mixture of both to make himself appear defeated in a battle when in actuality he may not take any damage whatsoever or even a minimum amount.<br/>People that know of this ability/may be hinted on it: Possibly certain faculty/smarter students.<br/>+Shock - A simple technique involving the conjuring of electrical particles in which he may use to stun an opponent, depending how powerful he decides to use it. In the past his former instructor had used this ability as a means to punish Ryuu; unfortunately Ryuu has yet to experience anything more devastating than a good old jolt to the body.<br/>People that may know of this ability: Currently none.<br/>+Stabbing Shadows - An advance technique that manipulates shadows with magical properties, allowing them to be used to pierce a target’s physical body.  This technique was copied from the first demon that preyed upon Ryuu and that he had used to slay the beast with.<br/>People that know of this ability: Currently none.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>He never had a simple lifestyle at a young age he spent most of his life with the man whom trained his father and it was as solitary and recluse as living could get. Every waking day Ryuu was pushed into various training, hardly having time to himself. Often he questioned about his family, but he was always told the same tale, that his father was a great hero who fallen when battling the demon king and that his mother was just a village girl who passed away when giving birth to Ryuu. Not the greatest of stories for any young boy to be hearing at that time, but honestly he had no choice other than to tough it up and live with this rigorous lifestyle.<br/><br/>Most of it was for his well being and a means to keep him safe and away from the dangers of the world. The ability that he inherited was the primary thing that secluded him from living an ordinary life. There were some people who were born with natural talents, others that had to struggle to achieve where they are today, unfortunately Ryuu had to walk both paths in success, something he still loathes this very day.<br/><br/>To be a prodigy is a danger in itself, but to have rare trait awakened even more so. The Black Destroyer always had his eye out for additional sources of power and wouldn’t Ryuu’s gift be a prize like none other? It was something sought for after the Black Destroyer had encountered Ryuu’s mother, luckily she managed to seal away her power into her child to shroud the lineage of the imprint technique and hope that it may one day be forgotten through the pages of history.<br/><br/>It may had been if it wasn’t for the continuous electrifying experiences that the growing lad went through in his life. At one point he was able to stop them, negating the current flow with a spell that naturally came from him,<em>break.</em>It would of probably been for the best that he never used that ability, he had to go through so much hell in his training from that point on with his master and with each passing year the boy grew into a young man and became further skilled in proficient in his abilities along with awakening his inheritance enough for it to be tracked.<br/><br/>Ryuu can still recall his sixteenth year, the day that his master told him that some people were coming from the Academy to take him, that Ryuu would be safer there. It was not something he fully comprehend at the time, but shortly a few weeks afterwards when he was off training alone he encountered a strange beast. The monstrosity demanded that Ryuu come with him, naturally the young man refused, even tried to escape. Conflict arose, Ryuu ended up wounded and his master came to his aid, still the end wasn’t beautiful. When the group came to take Ryuu, they only him alive and wounded. The sixteen year old was soaked in blood, but it was hard to distinguish it being his, his master’s, or even the monster that assaulted him or a combination of the three.<br/><br/>For the next two years and onwards Ryuu has been making a living at the Academy. His grades are poor, his attendance in class is usually barely noticeable, and people have mostly learn to avoid him. He has some of the worse titles, usually making ‘friends,’ by pulling pranks on others and more often than not finding himself attacked by students or even certain faculty. All around Ryuu is taken for bad luck and even with mock hunting exercises not many students wish to pair with him. He doesn’t seem outwardly bothered by such and just goes about his freeloading at the Academy.<br/><strong>Ons:</strong><br/>Food. Sleeping.  Playing the part of the useless fool that he does so well.<br/><strong>Offs:</strong><br/>Serious People. Noisy People. People that try to push him to success.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Demon Form</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Demon Form</span></strong></div><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/Morkael/Evil%20Dudes/6d78ec27c95a0276b488d6f3cb37f3937509e336_zpsb838c126.jpg)</div><strong>Hair Color:</strong> <br/>Ivory<br/><strong>Eye color: </strong><br/>Crimson<br/><strong>Skin color:</strong><br/>Lighter tanned/pale.<br/><strong>Other tidbits on looks:</strong><br/>Has two crimson streaks running down his cheeks in center proportion to his eyes.<br/><strong>Height:</strong><br/>6'0"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong><br/>180lbs<br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Essentially Ryuu's shadow. This creature is one brought upon malice towards the demon race as a whole. It may be hard to fathom how Ryuu could harbor such a resentful side to him, given how happy and go lucky he seems to be; yet the demon part of him is nothing of the sort. Cold, distant, and hateful the demon race; humans can't expect any better if they align themselves with such beings. This part of Ryuu despises them all, easily doubting others and their intentions as well towards him in this state. Everyone is treated as an enemy, although he doesn't wish for human blood on his hands, he won't hesitate in striking one down if they cross him and if they been warned to stay their distance from him. He doubts human and demon bonds can co-exist happily and would rather remain alone than infatuate himself with anyone or anything.<br/><strong>Weapon/magic:</strong><br/><strong>Ons:</strong><br/>Slaying Yokai/Demons<br/><strong>Offs:</strong><br/>Demons<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></div></div>
