[hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/U1RdqhE.png[/img][/hider] [center][i]"For the last time, [b]I'M NOT THE BUS DRIVER, YOU IMBECILE![/b]"[/i] [i]-Ryuu showing off his lady-killing moves[/i][/center] Height: 181 cm Weight: 159 pounds (72 Kilograms) [center][b][u]Name[/u][/b]: Ryuu Yamauchi [b][u]Age[/u][/b]: 25 [b][u]Gender[/u][/b]: Male [b][u]Species/Race[/u][/b]: Human [b][u]Powers[/u][/b]:[/center] [i]Plasma[/i] - Ryuu is a manipulator of various kinds of plasma, his primary source of plasma coming from himself. The otaku is able to envelop certain parts of his body with generated plasma, which looks like electricity to others. He is capable of controlling the plasma from his body, ranging from simply dealing a peculiar way of blunt damage to causing severe burns. When using enough power, he is capable of dealing strikes that naturally catch his opponents on fire for a few seconds, though he rarely ever does this. The maximum range Ryuu can send plasma from his body without any objects in-hand is around three meters. He sometimes uses this power to send straight lines of plasma to deal decent damage from a distance. [i]Nerfed Strawberry Lightwork[/i] - Ryuu is able to make plasma bend out of an inanimate object he carries. After extensive training in mastering some elements of his powers, Ryuu managed to tone down the lethal effects of the plasma he summons. While he does create weapons whenever he is ticked off or wants to have a go with some other dunce, the plasma can only go through whatever it crosses and provides physical feedback to a balanced extent. (Ex. A beam sword goes through people, but doesn't necessarily cut them, instead going through them and producing a heavy knockback effect in whatever it hits) [i]Overload[/i] - When given enough time to do so, Ryuu is capable of summoning the energy of flames surrounding him and, with a lot of time in his hands, call upon the strength of the stars. While he rarely ever gets the time to gain plasma far, far away from the ground he is on, claiming extra plasma from any source can grant him a noticeable burst of energy. Ryuu usually has a constant supply of plasma in combat due to excitement and an exhilarated blood pressure, but can, and will, find chances to gain even more power to finish a task. He usually prevents himself from doing this when it is not necessary, however. [center][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b]:[/center] [i]NEET[/i] - Ryuu's strict intolerance to discrimination is ultimately overshadowed by his generally mean look, his somewhat perverted views on two-dimensional women, and his infatuation with beating the living days out of street punks. [i]Stupid[/i] - Self-explanatory. He may get surprisingly decent grades, but he still lacks common sense in certain fields of education, such as remaining patient in waiting for some anime. [i]Partial Photophobia[/i] - Ryuu, ironically, has partial photophobia, which gave him the habit of wearing sunglasses wherever he went. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b]: He looks evil, he acts brash, and he is a one-of-a-kind doofus when it comes to common sense. Ryuu Yamauchi, at a first glance, is a confident and foolishly daring punk, but the fact that he is actually an [i]otaku[/i] that is confident and daring is what gets people. Speaking ill of the shows and books he likes usually winds up having someone smashed into a wall, though his anger-inspired fighting spirit is incredibly tame within the academy. Ryuu does not openly show off his power, but when he does, he makes sure to always promote upcoming shows and manga that he anticipates greatly for. Aside from his hobbies, Ryuu is surprisingly against discrimination of species. Whether it be a werewolf, a succubus, or maybe even a demon, as long as they have their own moral standards, he is generally lenient on not attacking those who do not attack him. While he certainly is dense to the core, his optimistic past proves to outshine the favored "punk" attitude he aims to gain, preventing him from enjoying fights with those who are not willing to. Ryuu aims to regain the lost, memorable qualities he had in his childhood and actually learn what friendship is like, though he still wants to enjoy a life filled with excitement... and beating stuff up. Ryuu becomes incredibly confused on what to do when shy people are around him. He cannot properly utilize his outgoing personality on them without feeling a little guilty in breaking into their personal space. He is somewhat perverted when he talks about two-dimensional women, and perhaps three-dimensional women as well... [hider=Old Background]The general picture of an otaku is a four-eyed geek who is skinny to the bones, or chubbier than most people. Ryuu Yamauchi certainly fulfilled the four-eyed part, but he was nowhere near to being a frail geek. Hailing from a fairly rich household, Ryuu found himself fawning over anime and manga, but his tough attitude matured whenever his fellow elementary classmates made fun of him for it. Momentarily taking a break from watching one of his favorite television shows, Ryuu decided to toughen up in his small room, only to somehow fire a laser at his bed. It turned out that he lived in a more... supernatural family. Of course, this instantly motivated him to train even harder, though for reasons that would have made many people slam their faces onto the palms of their hands (he wanted to become an anime character lol). Eventually, his mother halted his training, hastily deciding to make him control his own powers before he obliterated the home he lived in. It took him a while, for sure, but he ultimately triumphed and nullified the dangers of his unique power: the ability to generate plasma at his own will. It fit his burning character well, and he sure did want to show those who made fun of him who was the boss in the class. Several years later, Ryuu became a feared middle school student. He had finally achieved the respects and fears from his classmates, but he felt empty. The fact that only he had unique powers in the school not only bored him, but made him lose interest in the entire idea of education. Slowly drifting away from his optimistic, sportsmanlike attitude, Ryuu eventually transformed into a street brawling teenager... who just loved quoting Gundam lines. His parents decided that he was getting far too out of control and ultimately decided to send him to the Athalia Academy. They had barely gotten him a chance to enter the academy, and after bickering about it over and over again, Ryuu surrendered and allowed his parents to transfer him. But while he showed disinterest in transferring to an unfamiliar place, the thought of having people like him attending school did appeal to him. And who knows? Maybe he would meet a two-dimensional girl there. Or maybe a badass(???) aggro dude like himself. Either way, he knew that this academy would be different from any other.[/hider] [b][u]Current Background[/u][/b]: Ryuu, much to the surprise of many students and teachers, did not leave Athalia when it was attacked. Fighting alongside the others, he decided to defend the people of the academy and loyally followed them around. He eventually became a (high-school level) math teacher in the rebuilt Athalia Academy.
