[b]Appearance:[/b]
Ryūhei is a relatively tall young man, standing at around 5 feet 11, or 6 feet exactly. His build is muscular and defined, but rather than the bulky, brute thickness that you would see in a lot of other pirates, Ryūhei's physique has more of a lean, streamlined build that boasts tightly-packed, explosive strength and speed. His hair is rather spiky and shaggy, soft locks naturally framing his face, while more locks breezes in the sky, spiked up. He has a pony-tail on the back, leading even more thick locks of hair down to around shoulder to shoulder-blade width. The hair itself is naturally white, going rather well with his dark golden eyes.

[b]Abilities:[/b] 
[list]
;; Swordsman's Spirit - Ryūhei has no Devil Fruit, but makes this up with pure strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and grit. His taut, muscular form holds immense power, that much is obvious. He can leap wide, considerable distances, slam holes through boulders with one punch or slice completely through with one swing, run for hours before getting fatigued, move at high speeds, and, with his determination and will, fight for however long it takes for either him or his opponent to die...even if it goes past his body's limits. Even so, he may become unconscious for days or weeks afterwards. The things he can do could seem inhuman, even for Devil Fruit Users - people who hold inhuman power themselves. 

;; Swordsman's Skill - Ryūhei's plan for the future is to become the world's greatest swordsman, and already, he is showing steadfast resolve and untouchable potential. A prodigy in the arts of two swords, Ryūhei is an extremely skilled combatant, far on his way to perfecting his personally created style - Nireisu, or the Two Blade Style. His style allows him to excel fantastically in close-combat, while also holding artillery-like techniques for necessity's sake.

One of the few men with the ability of Hakairyoku, Ryūhei can channel his own life-energy into his blades, or his body, increasing his already exceptional physical abilities and skills, although he is still rather...'ignorant' to this ability, and will learn more of it in the future. His techniques with Nireisu are named, for the sake of concentration and efficiency, and will be exposed IC. Ryūhei is also an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, able to hold his own against strong opponents with his fists and legs, but generally, he prefers his katanas.[/list]


[b]Personality: [/b]
Ryūhei comes off as a distant, fierce, and serious man that keeps to himself, opting to train, watch the ocean, eat, or train some more. However, despite this, he has a surprisingly small temper, and can lose said temper rather comically if you know how to push his buttons. Despite his lack of kinder emotions, other than anger or the occasional wistfulness, he does, in fact, have a heart - a rather passionate one, at that. He is a selfless being when it comes to those weaker and more innocent than him, and will risk his life in their steed - but he definitely won't go down without fighting. He believes that he lacks the ability to show certain emotions, and hasn't cried since...his past. In spite of this, he does have a bit of a humorous side - albeit his humor can be quite dark at times. 

In the crew, he's generally the more 'serious' of the mates, and somewhat of an advisor, pointing out flaws to the captain's plans, but otherwise keeping to himself. He loves eating, mostly due to the amount of fat his body sheds during his extreme physical workouts, but that's a story for another day. Although gruff on the outside, once you manage to get within his 'trust bubble', you will have an extremely dangerous swordsman with a kind, if not jaded and calloused heart as your guardian. He will fight armies for his teammates, and can, and is, willing to suffer through Hell for them, if necessary. Can sometimes come off as lazy due to his lack of responsibilities on board, but he's not actually lazy. In battle, he is incredibly violent and fierce, often grinning whenever his opponent is a challenge. However, when fighting weaker opponents, he tends to be a bit disappointed, restraining himself immensely, and holding back.
