Description:
Ryu is a quiet and simple young man. Whilst he
wears basic clothing to classes and to any work he undertakes, whenever he can
Ryu dons his white karate gi, black belt and red headband. Forever the warrior,
his interest lies in being at peace with his surroundings and yet seeking the
ultimate quest, the final fight, the greatest victory life has to offer.
Physically he is much like other men save one thing; his muscles are incredibly
hard, toughened with years of training. He moves always with a mean to battle
anything that comes into his path; always ready to hop into a stance and block
powerfully. His odd gait is often mistaken for a gormless wandering. Ryu’s eyes
are dim but passionate in a way. He is just waiting for the fight to ‘switch
him on’! His hair is usually roughly styled and not terribly attractive. Ryu is
clean though and doesn’t believe it is acceptable to be unclean.
Skills:
The once Street Fighter champion has one skill
above all else; his patience. He is without doubt the exact opposite of his
great friend Ken Masters in this aspect, although like Ken, his primary gift
and skill is that of outstanding karate. Ryu can get by on very little and is
quite content living the simple life of training, eating and sleep, drinking
and working to get his keep. He reguards study as work for his country’s future
and so generally does well in classes; although he is no scientific, nor
artistic genius.
Ryu’s weakness is that the power than enables him
to perform such things as the Hadoken (fireball) also has a dark side, the dark
Hadou. Ryu fears it, as it is unknown for the most part. He has never served it
yet – although he has been tempted strongly and it has ‘used him’ for very
limited periods of time.
Ryu’s only defence against those wielding
powerful weaponry, intelligence or such forces as psycho power is the hadou
& his lighting quick feet.
