[hider=Portrait][img]http://i.imgur.com/6ZX4Bjf.jpg[/img][/hider] Personality/Arcana: Strength. Ryu is a cold and analytical person, allowing rationality to guide his every action. He also strongly believes in his own personal philosophy, as it is an obvious fact. People only interact with each other on the terms of give and take. The only time people talk with one another is if they want something, whether it be attention, knowledge, compliments, or something else. This philosophy has caused Ryu to become incredibly cynical in nature and robotic in his day to day life, choosing to avoid people unless he himself required something. His natural intellect and stunning diligence make him a model student and a hard worker. Weapon(s) of Choice/Type: Dual swords/slashing Persona/Element: Lightning/Physical Persona Appearance: Kratos the Greek personification of strength takes the form of a winged man in radiant armor wielding a longsword.

His parents died when he was a child and he's been shipped from relative to relative ever since. His constant state of moving around and transferring from school to school has jaded Ryu into a lone wolf, a person who doesn't think he needs the help of anyone for anything. He holds himself somewhat responsible for his parent's death though it was an accident, he also bears an amount of resentment towards himself because of the blame he puts on himself.
