History: Ryuu grew up the youngest sibling of three to a rich merchant and his wife. He had a brother (4 years older) and a sister (3 years older). The family was served on hand and foot by many servants and chiefs. Ryuu was always bored with this lifestyle and preferred to spend his evenings in the woods by himself. One evening, on his tenth summer while away on a walk, Ryuu returned home to find his home set ablaze. No one survived.
Alone and orphaned, Ryuu only had the clothing on his back and the silver dragon pendant that his sister had given him for his past birthday. He was sent to live with his grandparents as his legal guardians. Privately wealthy and strict, they hired only the best tutors and lessons for their grandson, training him to be the perfect gentleman and giving him the skills to one day take over the family company. Ryuu loathed the constant lessons. He turned toward illusions for his only entertainment as his grandmother forbade television and internet. At the age of eighteen, he left his grandparent's estate for the city. He enjoys the freedom that the night life can give him, but has never forgotten about his strict upbringing. He stumbled upon Chihana quite by accident two years into his career and decided that this new club sounded interesting. He joined it immediately, bringing many of his old clients with him as well as forming a new clientele.
Example Post:
Ryuu yawned, his long, lithe body sliding out from between the sheets of his bed. It took a moment for his dark eyes to adjust to the sunlight pouring in from the drawn shades as life below bustled beyond the barrier of his window. He yawned and leaned against the window frame to peer down to the street. The civilians appeared to me nothing more than giant ants sunning about, feting food and money for their queen. What a bore.
He stretched his arms and began to dress for the day, pausing only to gaze into the mirror and nod in approval to his limber frame in satisfaction. You're too skinny. You're wasting your life. Get your head out of the clouds and come back to the family business. Ryuu sighed heavily, imagining the taunts his grandmother would have for him when it came to his yearly visit back to the countryside manner. She always had something the disagree with how Ryuu chose to live his life. But she was right. It was only a matter of time before his looks would run out on him and the family business would become his only option. But, until that day, Ryuu intended to live his life as he pleased.
He dressed quickly, not allowing himself the luxury of wasting the sunlit hours of the day. As usual, he went for a walk to help wake himself up. It was a lovely day. As dusk grew near, he glanced to his pocket watch and smiled softly to himself. It was almost time. He made his way back to the Chihana, hurrying so not to be late and upset the manager. That would never be good, in any situation. He returned to his room to freshen up before descending down to the lower level of the club, smiling as he saw his first client of the night. "My lady," he said with a casual smile, bowing as a rose appeared to materialize in his hand for the blushing woman. "I hope I did not keep you waiting for long." He laughed slightly and took the women by the arm, sweeping her further into the club for a night of entertainment.
