Appearance
Ryuu wears black pants that have slash marks all over them and a red tube top. Her hair and eyes are what always give her away as they are colored an extremely bright red. She usually keeps them in two braids but is sometimes seen with her hair down. Ryuu is rather tall for a woman (6'2) of her age with a heavily scarred body and hourglass body. She has a Dragon tattoo that curls around her left arm. There have been times where people swore they saw her tattoo move but are too afraid to ask her if it does. An X-shaped scar sits below her right eye , as well as a claw mark starting just below the shoulder and ending at her abdomen from a fight in her younger years.
Gardenian Appearance( Anime Only!)
Ryuu when not acting as a knight tends to wear extravagant kimonos. That is custom made for her to accommodate her hourglass figure as well as to showcase her figure. If Ryuu doesnât wear a kimono she will most likely be wearing baggy pants and a tight red shirt with an unknown logo on the front. Even when not in combat Ryuu always carries some kind of weapon with her, for when she acts as a Gardenian, Ryuu carries a single katana strapped to her side.
Personality - Itâs very hard for her to open up to people or too trust someone she just met. She has a rather short temper but manages to keep it under control, sometimes. Ryuu tends to keep to herself mainly due to the fact she hates asking for help. Itâs very rare for her to smile and is most often seen with a sad or blank expression.
In the rare instance she does get upset its best not to be the cause of her anger. Ryuu is like a demon when angered but it is rare for her to lose control, only those she considers good friends will ever open up this side of her personality. Ryuu like some knights loves to fight, she lives for it but hates a weak opponent and will often challenge strong opponents whether they are of her own people or not to either have fun or show she is indeed a very strong individual. Ryuu is indeed a very clever and flexible woman; known for her spot on observations of the enemy and keeping her cool in many situations.
Ryuu die to her past life even though she has no recollection of it despises royalty or noble blood as she calls them, and in this case the king and queen that she follows. She doesnât mind showing this hate towards them especially if she knows they failed in something. Ryuu has a strong sense of honor as a swordsman, she hates t when she must retreat or is forced to show any kind of weakness especially if the cause of this is an order from the king or queen.
Weapon(s) â a sword that is long as she is tall, with a pure black blade that houses a dim light within its black confines. The words âBurn down the heavens and shroud the land in darknessâ are inscribed along the blade in white letters.along with three other swords strapped to her side that she usually uses in battle. Chomesku on the other hand is hidden within a seal on her palm that acts as a storage dimension to hold Chomesku when not in use but when she is it tends to be in the most dire of situation.
Fighting Style - Ryuu possesses great mastery in swordsmanship and is very skilled in it. Her offensive capabilities mainly come from her swordplay, which enables her to effectively utilize most if not any weapon handed to her, though her preferred choice being the sword. She also has great skill in utilizing the reverse-grip of swordsmanship as well as the normal grip. And is even capable of employing her swords effectively using her feet, by wielding their hilts between her hallux and second toe. Her preferred style is the three-sword-style that most swordsmen donât practice as some think it difficult to use three swords at the same time. Holding two swords in her hand and one in her mouth, it is rather difficult to speak considering the hilt is in her mouth.
The difficulty of this ability is that it requires her to use smaller swords, and they tend to break soon after using them. Nor can they take much weight like Chomesku. Her swords are simple katanas with an unadorned hilt, but with a sharp blade that can cut through most substances but the human body or steel. If she does try to cut something that normally canât be cut by a sword, her katanas will break soon after often forcing her to use Chomesku. Ryuu tends to go straight when handling three swords due to the fact that she canât move the third sword and is restricted in movement for the other two in her hands.
Despite favoring the use of her various weapons, Ryuu has proven herself to be a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. She is also able to mix hand to hand combat with her swordsmanship while in the midst of battle along with her extremely sharp reflexes, and a high degree agility and speed this makes her a very difficult opponent if underestimated. She mainly focuses in the area of judo; if she canât take her opponent down with her blade then she will just have to take him out by other means. Ryuu has shown in her old life to have been able to bring down men three times her size though it is not certain this strength carried on to her life as a knight in SoulChess.
--Abilities--
(Role Abilities)
Sense presence - Can feel the spiritual presences of the other "pieces".
Knight's Crest - Like all knights Ryuu is able to summon a beast to ride and scout for enemies. Her beast is that of a large black dragon that is indeed the tattoo on her left arm known as NightFire. With his large serpentine body NightFire does not have wings but prefers to travel on foot and is incredibly fast despite his huge body, but this doesnât mean he canât fly; he can fly but is not as fast as he would be if he was to run. NightFire can go to speeds of about sixty miles per hour to forty miles per hour is he hasnât already depleted his energy before going for a run or flying.
Natural Abilities
1) Dragon Fire
Description: This ability as it says involves dragon fire of the hottest kind; black fire being the kind that is nearly impossible. It sprouts from Chomesku as a wave of flame from a simple swing of her sword. But when it is contained within Chomeskuâs blade she tends to burn those who are not her master and because of the heat that radiates from Chomesku it allows her to cut through even steel. Once the dragon fire leaves Chomesku the fires intensity is half of what it used to be, meaning it will undoubtedly burn a person leaving two or three-degree burns. Ryuu can only let loose this fire a certain amount of times as it is in a way the very essence of Chomesku and takes a long time to rekindle which takes more energy than is used just to release it which is at her current strength about 10% of her engery.
2) Dragon Armor
Description: as the name states this is an armor that Ryuu is able to summon. When in use it increases her strength and durability five times than what it was before. The drawback of using this is that hinders her speed and movement. Even if she isnât wearing it in the traditional way it takes a lot of energy and concentration to constantly change and move it to fit her needs, and can only change three to four times in succession after being summoned. The more times she changes its form the shorter the time she is able to use it lessening the hour by 15 minutes with each change. Ryuu changes the shape to fit her needs, most people think this armor is just something she wears but thatâs not the case, as it can sometimes take the shape of long black ribbon that acts as a shield constantly moving to protect Ryuu's vital spots. The second drawback to this armor is how much energy is needed to maintain even one form, which is why Ryuu has yet to fully master this armor to its best and is only able to use it for a maximum of twenty minutes for the time being until she gets stronger where the maximum time is an hour.
History- Ryuu was born to a servant house to a noble family, her own lineage often acted as personal guards for the noble family that they have been serving for the past 800 years or so. Her mother being the head of the family at the time married a man whom no one really knew much about other than the fact that he wasnât from around here. It was later revealed to Ryuu that her father was a draconian and that she carried his blood in her veins. But not long after her birth her father was killed while protecting the head of the noble family from a bandit attack, her mother was devastated but managed to move on and remarry. Unfortunately Ryuuâs mother also died, she did not fall by the swift blade of her opponent but by the blade of sickness that took not only her mother but also the heads wife. And so Ryuuâs step-father took place as head of the servant house, he was a rather cruel man making sure all the power went to him and not to his step daughter. At the age of ten Ryuu was a budding swordswoman, who even served the eldest daughter of the family. But this trust and excellence was soon lost during an accident while guarding the eldest daughter.
While on a stroll Ryuu was met by a group of demons, protecting the lady was her first priority and so she did her best to do so. Except the demons kept regenerating which is highly unusual for the small fry to be capable of. Eventually Ryuu lost to fatigue and a large slash across her shoulder that left her immobilized and vulnerable, Ryuu should have died that day but she did not for her lady had sacrificed herself to protect the guard that had served her for so many years. Ryuu lost consciousness for a week from her wounds, and when she woke her whole family shunned her, her ladies family despised her. And with the help of her step father Ryuu was exiled from the family denied her heritage forced to leave Ryuu wondered the land of her home country in japan.
During her exile Ryuu began exercising the demons that ruined her life, she also grew to despise the very people who raised her and taught her humility, both her family and the nobility she served. One day however Ryuu met those very same demons from before, she managed to kill them after nearly a full day of fighting but it came at a cost. Lying in the crimson stained snow, Ryuu still clutching her swords died in that same defiant stance as what had been taught to her by her mother, a grin on her face; glad she was finally able to avenge her ladies death.
