[hider=Ryukyuan Expeditionary Platoon] [center][h2]23rd Imperial Guard Platoon "Wings of Honor"[/h2] [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/6eqm3d.png[/IMG] [/center] Origins: Holy Ryukyu Imperium Appearances: [hider=Ryukyuan] Ryuans or more commonly just Ryukyuans are tall, humanoid creatures with females standing at an average of 5' 10" and males averaging around 6' 1". The most noticeable trait they have are devil-like tails on their backs. They mature faster than humans reaching adulthood around 14 (but mentally they mature around 18) and can live long lives should the right conditions be met. Other appearance differences include longer fingers and "dual layered" eyes that some of the population has (the term "dual layered" means that while the eye has a solid color, their is another color on a "layer" behind it). Most Ryukyuans can only use 80%-90% of the psychical strength a human could use but their brain capacity is 10%-20% greater than that of humans. Certain individuals will also express a rare gene that causes their mental power to grow to 50% or even 60% greater than that of humans. The Empire often stated these persons who usually become engineers, researches and the likes as the reason why the Empire's technology has advanced so quickly.

The Type 99 can change between semi-automatic and a three round burst and comes in several variants like a carbine version that is lighter and shorter to a DMR version with a longer barrel and bipod. [/hider][hider=Type 100 SMG (x4)] [img]http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp24/Clocktower_Echos/Screen%20Shot%202015-04-29%20at%2011.09.34%20PM_zps6wucejw5.png[/img] Common weapon seen across both military and police, the Type 100 is a rapid fire SMG excellent for suppressing or in areas where accuracy is less of a concern.

Sturdy, accurate, strong, all in a compact package delivering Imperial Justice from a 8 round clip, one bullet at a time. [/hider][hider=Type 0 Energy Blade (x14)] [img]http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp24/Clocktower_Echos/download-2_zpszp5dhfc0.jpg[/img] As Ryukyuan military tradition dictates knives are not suitable weapons for honorable warriors, swords take their place and are often found in various shapes and sizes depending on the user's rank and role. Made of a light weight alloy, the Type 0 is also referred to as a "Progressive Sword", not because its cutting edge technology, but because of how it can cut through just about anything with a veil of agitated molecules that can cut things at a molecular level.

[/hider] Personality: Yoruha is most often cold and stoic with every little phasing him due to Project RONIN. The people under him dislike him as a person but see him as an exceptional leader as can easily motivate troops by words or by force. Bio: Like all members of Project RONIN, Yoruha's life is concealed in shadows and politics. Chosen at birth, he has been turned into a model of peak ability and physic for a Ryukyuan. What is known is that Project RONIN did not give him an easy or happy childhood, but it was worth being a super soldier, right? For reasons unknown, he was personally assigned to lead the Ryukyuan expedition instead of a normal commander. He suspects something involving politics. [/hider] [/hider]
