Description: Standing just shy of 6', Ryu is a reserved person. He was born in Japan, but lived in America from ages 7-13. Because of this he can speak both Japanese and English fluently. When he was 13 he was involved in an accident that ran a large electric shock through the right half of his body. The electric shock damaged the nerve endings in his right arm and leg and, while the arm was saved, the leg required amputation. The accident also gave him a large gash on the right side of his face, blinding him in that eye. After the accident, he moved back to Japan to be fitted for a mechanical leg.
His manarisms and food tastes are a mix of Japanese and English. He is normally level headed and relaxed in nature, taking time to carefully articulate his words, but on occasion can be outgoing and charismatic.
over the years he's taken a particularly large interest in fencing. He started it as just a way to regain his dexterity, but became engrossed in it, studying it intently. On his down time he likes to practice his single-stick moves.
He doesn't mind at all when people mention his disabilities, and tries to put them at ease with his laid back nature
Mentally he is quite exceptional. Throughout his physical therapy, he studied intently, which allowed him to come back to school only a year behind, despite missing two and a half years of school.
He is an avid listener of music, but cannot play another than a few basic piano songs.
He is hopelessly addicted to e-cigarettes
