His chestnut colored hair sits messily on his head, and he describes his eyes as 'golden brown like a sunset', despite them just being hazel colored. He dresses very casually, sporting a black and red kimono adorned with a dark sea-green sash that holds his quiver. His brown shoes don't look too comfortable, but he never complains. His kimono flows with him, his long sleeves never getting in the way of drawing an arrow or even playing any of his instruments. He hides a small flute in his sleeve, his gorgeously adorned lyre also coming from his sleeve, though it's speculated that he forms it through pyreflies.[/indent][/color] [sub][b][color=20B2AA]Background[/color][/b][/sub] [color=silver][indent]No one actually knows where Rio comes from, nor does he ever make any mention of it. He has no family to speak of, though he did once admit he was from Kilika, and the locals do recognize him, even if they can't remember who his parents were. A majority of his life was actually spent in Bevelle as a temple acolyte until he decided to join the Crusaders. Upon proving his skills in battle, he met Shion, and for him, it was 'love at first sight', though no one actually knew if she returned his feelings. When their squad was disbanded, Rio and Shion stayed together for some time until Shion went her own way. Whatever happened that day haunts Rio, blaming himself for the disbanding, but he never says why. Despite his guilt he carries on, traveling through Spira as a wandering musician and performing in several places to make a living. He does unintentionally run into Shion, and while they have become civil, it's clear that their relationship--a previously intimate one--is shaky but cordial at best. [/indent][/color] [sub][b][color=20B2AA]Fighting Style[/color][/b][/sub] [indent][color=silver]Rio plays the role of support in battle, focusing more on aiding his teammates and providing covering fire. He wields a bow, covering a rather wide range as nothing is too far for him to hit, his frightening accuracy ensuring he always lands a hit. That being said he is always able to communicate their surroundings, making sure to keep an eye on the battle and assisting wherever he is needed most. His songs often grant passive buffs, ranging from resorting health and magic to powering up physical or magical attacks. His white magic is also fairly impressive. Rio's Overdrive- [color=lightseagreen][b]Pulse of Life[/b][/color] - is an absurdly powerful wave of magic that spreads through the battlefield, fully restoring all injuries and magic, and reviving any fallen allies and restoring them as well. The display of white magic is his strongest suit, firmly cementing his position as support as opposed to offense.[/color][/indent] [sub][b][color=20B2AA]Misc[/color][/b][/sub] [indent][color=silver]Rio is a very talented musician, playing a variety of instruments. His voice is extremely pleasant to hear, though he tends to try not to sing too much as he has been told it has a mesmerizing effect on people. His travels have let him become well-versed in Spira's locations and wildlife, though he has been thrown out of a bar or two due to causing a commotion. Said commotions may or may not be female related. He started off his career as a healer before picking up a bow to better help his allies. He actually taught Shion how to use white magic and holds it over her head, much to her dismay.[/color] [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table][hr]
