[b]Name:[/b] Ronald "Ronnie" Richter
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Age:[/b] 18
[b]Year:[/b] 12

[b]Appearance:[/b] Ronnie is a young man of athletic build, particularly that of a track runner and kickboxer. He stands at around 175 cm tall, pretty average for his age group. His weight, on the other hand, is slightly above average at about 67 kg due to his athletic ability. His attire usually includes a Kadic Academy letterman jacket typical of most students who are part of its various athletic programs and sports teams. However, Ronnie has been known to lose the jacket outside of class in favor of simple muscle shirts or hoodies if the weather is cold. Despite his age and build, he still has somewhat of a boyish face, though he's been told that girls often still like this about him, he's never paid much attention to that before however. His brown hair is short, often parted to one side or sometimes just combed straight back depending on his mood. His eyes are a deep hazel color.

[b]Personality:[/b] Never one to draw attention to himself, Ronnie is often quiet and reserved, usually content to just let someone else do the talking. That's not to say he's a doormat or doesn't have a mind of his own, it's quite the contrary. He's just never been that great at socializing, usually preferring to focus on his own goals or work and trying not to let what other people say get to him. He has very thick skin, which is to say he doesn't anger easily, but when he does, oh boy, stay out of his way if you don't want a fist in your mouth. His personality seems to change slightly while in Lyoko, him appearing to accentuate his passion and temper over being quiet and reserved. It's not a drastic change by any means, but it is noticeable by those closest to him.

[b]History:[/b] Ronnie originally got into Kadic Academy via an athletic scholarship for track and field. He was much more of a jock when he first arrived, typically hanging around other track team members and watching them occasionally bully younger students. Ronnie himself never partook in said bullying, but he never stopped them either. He was afraid of losing his "friends" after all. It was X.A.N.A. that inspired him to change his ways, as he was surprisingly quick to charge into danger if it meant protecting the school. Once the Lyoko adventures started and he met the people who would become his real friends, Ronnie stopped associating with the other jocks, even stepped in and called them out on their bullying from time to time. Some of the younger kids see him as a bit of a hero in that regard, but his former "friends" pretty much disowned him and now every single one of them hates his guts. Since the first X.A.N.A attack, Ronnie has started taking up kickboxing, even trying to get approval to start a club for the sport in Kadic Academy as a means for students to learn fitness as well as self-defense.

[b]Favorite School Subject:[/b] English Literature. Yes, seriously. Just because he's an athlete and is technically a jock doesn't mean Ronnie can't enjoy something academic once and awhile. In this case, the occasional book.
[b]Likes:[/b] Running, reading, and writing. Kickboxing, too.
[b]Dislikes:[/b] Cheaters, bullies, and protein drinks (the very thought of those things make him gag)

[u][b]~Lyoko~[/b][/u]

[b]Appearance:[/b] Ronnie's appearance in Lyoko remains largely unchanged, save for a few minor details. His hair for whatever reason, stands up in a spiky style. He seems to develop sharper facial features as well, likely due to the animated nature of the world of Lyoko. His attire in Lyoko consists of a customized black martial arts gi with the torso bare save for a low-cut open vest. The back of the vest has the Japanese kanji for "fire" etched onto it in a fiery red color. He's also got a similarly red bandana tied around his forehead with tails that seem to endlessly blow in the wind. He also, of course, wears a pair of metal plated cestus on each hand.
[b]Weapon:[/b] A pair of metal-plated cestus for punching.

[b]Fighting Styles:[/b] Usually sticks to punching, but will throw in the occasional kicks to mix things up. He seems to use a mix of karate and muay thai for the most part, but will often include the fast footwork of a boxer as well.

[b]Abilities:[/b] His most commonly used ability is called Iron Fist, which is used to strike or hit enemies with abnormally high strength.

Blazing Fist, on the other hand, is an ability meant to capitalize on speed and agility to inflict swift and precise blows that often leave a trail of flame in their wake, hence the name.

And then there's Blaze of Glory, a rather interesting little ability that can only be triggered after Ronnie's life points have fallen below 50%. Once triggered, his eyes will seemingly light up with fire and he'll be able to hit harder and faster than he ever could while at full life points. Of course, such strength that only seems to show up when he's close to "death" is obviously not one that should be relied on heavily. His role almost embodies the Cobra Kai motto, "Strike hard, strike fast..." but such a role often leaves little in the way of defending. He can step out of his comfort zone from time to time to play decoy, but where's the fun in that?
