The family, whom members were almost all Polymaths, was also renowned for being ardent traditionalists. It was hence unsurprising that most of the Polymaths within the family were Egoists proud of their Oriental heritage regardless of how niche Egoism can be seen as compared to Technologism. Ryuuko herself was an extremely talented person when it came to being an Egoist. From a very young age she dedicated herself to the craft, showing great potentials that would have done her family proud. That is to say, if only she didn't wholeheartedly despised her own family. The truth of the matter was that despite her love of the Egoism craft, she hated most of the traditions of the family and by extension of the country. While not as bad as how it were in the past, women were still seen as somewhat of lesser social status than men in the Empire of Blazing Sun. Add to that the strongly enforced culture of seniority and compliance, and it became just way too much for the progressive minded Ryuuko. To that end, everything that Ryuuko did tended to go exactly the opposite of what her family would approve of. She deliberately dressed herself in fashions that her family found distasteful, deliberately learned languages that her family deemed pointless to learn, and even deliberately ate foods that her family seen as affronts to the Japanese cuisine. Of course, she didn't stop with only such petty little things. As the biggest deliberate offense, Ryuuko geared her entire Egoist craft toward transformations that her family saw as absolute horror and disgrace. With her script carved on to her stomach instead of her back(because of course she'll never went with the traditionalist way), Ryuuko used all of her talent to turn herself slowly but surely into a being best called as a draconic Chimera. This, she achieved at the tender age of 12 years old. As expected her family were absolutely flabbergasted and revolted at what she had became, to the point of threatening to disown her for her "transgression". Unfortunately for them, Ryuuko's talents didn't end with only her incredible skills in the Egoism craft. She also possessed a significant degree of intelligence, enough to plan her moves far in advance. Thus, to rub salt into the family's wound, Ryuuko had already arranged for herself to be a member of the Kaiser Institute; an organization of highly talented and progressive Polymaths based in Germany. Before her family can even officially disown her, Ryuuko was instead the one who left her family behind. Furthermore, as her last parting "gift" to the family she kept the family name just because she knew that it will bring even more shame to them. Years had passed since then. In a new chapter of her life, Ryuuko had secured an enrollment into the Academic City of Bermuda as an agent of the Kaiser Institute. On the surface, the Institute was seemingly just one of the countless institutes of Polymaths focused on furthering their respective crafts. In truth, the Institute was one of the secret society with the mission of ensuring the Occident's supremacy in the war that never truly ended. And for Ryuuko, she could not have found a better way than this to smear even more dirt to the face of all those traditionalists back home. [/hider] [hider=Egoism | Pyrokinetic Chimera] Ryuuko's transformation had turned her into a draconic chimera. The following is a list of the abilities she possessed due to her transformations: - Horns: She possessed a pair of horns on the side of her head above the ears. As tough as a rhino's horn, these are capable of both protecting her and also as weapons due to their toughness. - Night Vision: Modifications to her eyes enabled her to see in the dark clearly. As with all forms of natural night vision capability, light must still be present. Thus, this ability cannot function in complete darkness. Additionally as a tradeoff of the transformation, she suffered from myopia which necessitated her to wear prescription eyeglasses. - Fangs: Her teeth are razor sharp like a shark's. Also like sharks, she had the capability to replace lost teeth seemingly infinitely. It will take her around a single day to fully regenerate her teeth regardless of the number that needs to be replaced. - Armored Carapaces: Hard carapaces covered Ryuuko's hands and her legs below the knees, functioning like durable armor strong enough to deflect bullets from low caliber firearms. Additionally, these also provided her with sharp claws that can be used for offense. - Tails: She possessed a pair of tails on the back of her waist. These are not prehensile. Instead, she can use them for additional balance, and if necessary she can also use them as powerful whips. - Enhanced Physical Capabilities: Ryuuko possessed noticeably higher physical capabilities than the typical human, clocking at around twice that of peak human capabilities. - Fire Breath: Perhaps the most defining of Ryuuko's abilities. She possessed the capability to launch a stream of intense fire breath from her mouth. She achieved this by expelling flammable venom from venom sacks on the inner walls of her throat, then igniting the venom with a spark made by the grinding of her teeth. The fire produced by her when the venom sacks are fully primed easily reached a thousand six hundred degree celcius; enough to melt steel, titanium, and most other form of metals.
