Post by Ryosuke Genzou on Sept 20, 2014 12:16:07 GMT -5
Name: Ryozuke Genzou
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Nation: Fire
Physical Appearance:
Ryosuke has long dark hair, such hair being unique to him alone where such hair is manipulated to be gloriously fine unorthodox hair. Much so different from his normal hairless body as applied to the family genetic code. With such hair one will notice his height of six foot four and a yet a well toned body. His long fingers, also known as piano fingers, are a key attribute gifted by his mother’s genetic code as he was a born virtuoso. But also of his father with a skill of a blade. With pale skin and a face of kindness it is hard to assume this boy can do anything purely wrong in most mental notabilities.
Such thoughts of provocation also lead to a certain shine of his eyes, a bleak dull shine when the light hits them just right, akin to his supposed hidden demonic nature. Ryosuke wears a shihakushō (Image Help) of sorts, blue and sometimes completely black hakama pants and a white with blue or green trim top to go with the shihakushō set. Such wears is his natural form. This clothing he wears is made just for him. Given his status his parents had made his clothing just for him and with such it does not hinder his movements at all, but also doesn't add anything to him either.
While in peace time and non-war efforts his normal wear is there in enhanced with his unique wear of a cherry blossom kimono top and a straw hat for the state of boredom. His war time wear being a lot calmer than the flamboyant wear of his peace time clothing as in war time he is unpredictable but in peace he isn't as unnoticeable. Continuing on the outfits notes, he did embark the path of righteousness by being an eliminator of nonbenders as apparent with the arts of the exorcists in a way. In so doing he has himself an additional outfit in times of which he faces off against those of the outer sides of reality. Now this outfit is generally the same as before.
A shihakushō all the same but rather all along the leg openings and the trim itself there are small skulls designed onto it. Such skulls are even apparent on the everyday shihakushō that he wears but not as pronounced as before. It is the symbol of his deity he serves and as such he wears them to please her and her alone. Now to go along with all the outfits virtually is the traditional samurai sandals made of woven materials.
Since his mastery over fire bending, he embarked down a further path of righteousness. Even going so far as to give up a part of his family line he showed dedication towards and thereby sealing away some forms behind said family within him to never open again. Such holds truly accompany him to being far more than most while as it may seem his body appears as though it was never affected in the first place. Aside from a small scar tissue from all areas of forehead, fingers, palms, soles of feet, chest, and the shoulders. This scar tissue is where the marks of the old family work there is the burn markings along his forearms where he carried the dead body of one of the heads to his family to the burial site he made.
Along with the change, he seemed to have picked up more so in his faith. Ryosuke found his own faith. His faith was in the deity Tempest, who is an Esper Goddess better known as a daughter of Gaia, and happens to be an Archon of Death. With such said, Ryosuke began wearing a rosary (Image Help) on his wrist that even went up to attach to said finger. This rosary is golden in looks while the picture is that of Tempest, a young woman of pale skin yet black stricken hair and no eyes to speak of.
Equipment:
The equipment of a fire bender isn't as broad banded as most others. In Ryosuke's case he carries with him just a couple items that can rudimentary be useful in times of need for said combative talents. First is the map of the nations, as it is a location holder of all outposts of military might, opposing countries, and the like of cities all within. This map is changed every time he meets with a fire nation base for updated information to always keep it up to date. Following this is the sword he carries, a simple kodachi, a blade of 2.4 feet, in length with a hand of eight inches. This small sword is virtually without length aid but rather aids in the fire bending he possesses. This is all his equipment for now.
Combat Skills:
Fighting styles as it were, is generally a progressive mount of which Ryosuke thrives. First of all there is his sword play, following the arts of battojutsu, his sword play is meant for fast, quick, and static strikes. Merge that with his fire bending and you have a terrifying composition. The skill of blade he has studied for twenty five years where only years of strict learning matter. His skills of Fire Bending were apparent since he was four, and for that he has had 41 years of training, twenty of it just the mastery of the basics and the remaining years to study and master the art itself. It is through rigorous fighting of grace and blood dressed love that he has become an animal on the fighting grounds for he learned to fight with swords from his father, and fight with fire from his mother.
Talents:
Now what can make this type of guy so devastating on the battle field? It is the respectable outcome of a peaceful home life. He is a kind man, one whom dabbles in the arts of music as he plays the eldest of woodwind instruments (a native american flute that I'll call Picado), as it is called a picado. This instrument not only produces good sound but generally a delicious aspect of just a wholesome feel. A musician by trade, he elegantly enough plays music. The second thing about him that is probably most heartbreaking is his religious side, as he is a religious man that articulates well into the community he is in. Perhaps the reason he wears such elaborate clothing is due to this.
Flaws:
Ryosuke cannot dine with meat. His source of food is far more complicated than that as he dabbles in a finer and richer meat of which is the human body itself. Cannibalistic in nature, Ryosuke follows an uneasy apatite and due to this he generally can be seen as a rudimentary source for lacking strength without enough meat having eaten due to lack of protein. This is a fundamental flaw given his lacking source of protein. Second to this is the polar opposite to heat, and by polar it has definitely being polar. Ice is something he cannot stand, as it is a cold that just disables his fire potential. Granted said cold has to be polar cap worthy given his mastery of fire but it is there.
History:
The father side of Ryosuke survived a massacre from a young age, traveling with remnant seeds for the ritual that passed down year by year. Furthering development and courteous knowledge. A great many times this family had gone and come. Moving further and further away from their homeland and into that which they knew nothing of. This land, the curious land of which the father of Ryosuke was born happened to be attacked. The father having lost his siblings in such a raid that their entire lively hood was compromised and they had to traverse again, moving further away from where they hoped home would reside.
It is in these travels that he found love but it was not until a great many years later he found it in the Fire Nation's countryside. Something precious to be had in such matters and as such he could only go so long in the regard found within. Later on, after many countless years of struggle and strife, the father, the last surviving member to this particular line that lead to Ryosuke had found refuge in a land that was peaceful. A land that held a peace and allowed for the son, Ryosuke, to be born without worry. The son inherited the familial traits of the mother, a fire bender who was hairless, and as such he too was born a fire bender but with hair.
The father urged for his seeds to be placed inside the boy as per the birthright but the mother would not allow it at all, it just was not going to happen at such a time. Ryosuke of course had no say in the matter as it was not his choice for such seeming ties. Rather he was more interesting in changing his training regime left and right multiple times a day just for the fun of it at a young age. Ryosuke lived a calm and peaceful life of solitude. Or at least this is what the general public would call it. Through push and shove he did make a life lasting friend, one whom in later years he probably would die for inevitably and as it were he would never wish death upon this person, even if he were ordered to do so.
His life was filled with order, taking and fulfilling every demand that was asked of him without asking for reward nor receiving any thanks. It was all business to Ryosuke and that was all it would ever be to him as he would always will himself to be alive and well for the next day. His father was a retired military man and lead a life as a police officer as to help those in need, that were taken aback due to being weaker. Such as the officer's life, his father got drunk plenty of times and could only wallow in grief for the loss of family due to the sacrifices made in such concoctions. Such as Ryosuke's time in the world going on without knowing the difficulties, or so the old man thought.
Ryosuke taught himself that a world of crime is necessary but also a world of balance. This is what drove Ryosuke as he made the decent into disobedience. The pros and cons to life were ever so easily read in the eyes of Ryosuke. When he was only ten he already discerned half the laws that were never followed by viewing sub-scripted reviews from his father, worded to where he could understand of course. Facing the many trials between his family, yet learning from them was the duty that he carried out.
He was the perfect child that any parent could ask for since he did no wrong at all that he could be blamed for. Of course as a perfect child his actions towards study led him to initially joining the Fire Nation Academy and following up with the schools found inside the land's capital. Initially this was perfect child business was a farce as he was the one to kill his father while he was on patrol. Ryosuke had used the very same non-bender skills that he was taught during his training sessions under his father’s tutelage. Earlier on his mother taught him necessary skills to be in crisis situations, such that of his birthright, and though he was potentially not the best, he would soon master it.
He had his resources and he proved resourceful. He was the only one of his squadron of trainees to figure out their cruel sergeant was only teaching them teamwork by night's end. He had taken the fall to allow the rest of the crew to ‘win’ in a sense and from then this regiment was gifted access to higher teachings of fire bending lore. Such was also something to be better remembered when it came to that of his trials on at the worlds abound nature when tasked by the elders of the Fire Nation. However through push and shove, he wound up being the only one to survive among this grouping that should have been respectable.
After a very torturous test of strength, skill, and wit Ryosuke found himself in a detested state of himself in ways that he now comes across very differently after such experiences. He no longer acts out, rather he maintains a constitutional manner along which he maintains such absolution among his peers. Fighting to get ahead in the world better fitted him for a new goal, and after surviving through that trial, he maintained himself to becoming a dreamer to one day become a higher commander of the Fire Nation's elitist. It was the very mannerism to which he wished to become the material value of such a thing. His very attitude towards those above him changing as well it had appeared to become.
It was also through such said fortitude that he went on to learning the arts of medical studies and found himself going through certain religious changes all the same. Such that he was inducted under, baptized in blood, and further introduced to the tortures or pleasures that he finds himself having to pass on. It was during such baptism he was sought out by others of the cult, many alike getting him into their rankings as it were. Through the trials that led up to this point in his life, he did learn that of the many deaths he favored killing non benders most. Now, that killing rage is very unprecedented but is apparent when he is in a deranged state.
Personality:
Ryosuke is special in the fact that above all else he is one of the youngest who loved to train and there in even hope to become a master of anything that is of the fire bending arts itself. Through such determination he had soon been keen and known for the actual field of knowledge known and tasked as such by the efforts of bending one's will before burning them to the ground. No, not the sensual bondage seen in dark and erotic scenes but rather binding to get information from foes, to perform interrogations, or further seen in the trial against the elders. As such specialties go, his known specialty of the bending allowed him to be one of the smartest individuals found within the fire nation, as it were. In so doing he is also known keenly as a deranged servant, one whom wishes to protect others even at the expense of his own life.
Indeed, this is not the worst trait a person could have, in fact it is brilliant for a musician to have this trait and as such could be seen, Ryosuke exudes the behavior well in the presence of others. This however is a better form of a facade given the nature of his blood line and the very independent nature that followed around to the other ends. By beneficiary nature Ryosuke does foresee that he could be better in the world of benders but at the age he is at the moment, he isn't all too keen on the mission as he was when he was younger. He is still by far a man for his liking of women from outside the clan itself. His personality around them can at times be very submissive or even masochistic but overall if one is alone with him he does his best to contain any value of lust that can come forth, again he is a man.
Now, he does wish to serve someone or even a family of sorts given the nature of his raising. From the family itself to the confines of the nature around for the inspirations of what he foresaw, he continued onwards to manipulate himself to the best of servants' stature. Musical as it was while he was raised, his nature towards music remains quite unchanged even to this day for the enjoyment that surrounds it. In fact he wished he could listen to music all the time, even in combat as that truly seems to be one way to master it if it were successful in such bestowed abilities. However as it is not, it is not something he can just wish whenever thereby it remains at the back of his mind, keeping him as a mystery and he likes that even more.
Further on, when in public he puts off a zeal compassion of learning, perhaps from the years of study he held in the academy and other schools themselves in the capital. Going back to servitude, when finding one he will serve till death of himself or the consumption of that one's body and soul. He likes free will, ice cream and of course birds that are black: especially crows. However he dislikes most elders, orders, and whoever holds themselves on high and above others. Back to the music note, his outlook is that music is the beneficiary to all things.
If one cannot even listen to a single song then they have not found a reason to live and therefore are better off dead. It is how he views it and those who mindlessly follow the rules rather than finding a reason to live. His reason to live is to protect those that need protecting and perhaps is the reason he became a medic and further more an individual of such stature that finds itself a holy man to some extent. Now jealousy has never befitted him, nor has it ever found its way to be inside his very heart as he is against the very thought of it. He finds himself in a troubled life at times in which he has benefited in helping out as a musician at home or furthermore as a forward guard along the fire nation sentry points.
To him this life is all he can ever hope to achieve and wherein he will not deceive or hide such thoughts from anyone in the world. They all know his view of the matter, it is only a matter of time before they assess him as a possible threat. Back in terms with how he acts publicly, it can be very noticeable of his disdain against those who place themselves in a hierarchy and those who belittle others. However he treats all with respect till they choose to belittle, even as a joke, to which his disdain will never be hidden. When it comes to eating, his personality does differ slightly to a mass differential.
The difference made is how he on average only eats celery all day every day. However, his nutrition comes from those he kills and that happens to be where his personality truly makes itself come known where often times he hides it. He kills those that make themselves out to be better than others through belittling them, or on path of his religious quest it is those who bestow and sew evil into the world. When Ryosuke kills them, he does right and makes jerky out of them. Eating all that is good and burying all that is bad. He eats the heart and all lean meat.
Fatty meats, other organs, and bones he will bury. After the elder trials, Ryosuke acquired a new bit of new formulation mannerisms. His manner towards which things act around himself is at best changed in some form. It was the manner of his own personality towards those whom believe themselves stronger and higher than others, that he attempts to reeducate them in any manner possible. His eyes holding a momentary hold on what is around him while also the direction of his voice and demeanor also changed after the trials.
His view on life seems to have held a stronger hold on mistaken aches to himself resulting in boredom on more parts of daily life. All in all, he is very lax in what his life is like now. As such he still continues to be protective in this world, protecting those that can't for themselves. Bolstering himself to new heights and dreams as such of wanting to be the best protector of the world meaning to ultimately be the one to supply the heartfelt hope in the world. However, such is a dream for now but one he hopes to exploit and make noticeably the best to the outcome he has available for himself.
