Personality:
While out of combat, Kokoro Ryuu tends to spend his time training and relaxing. Kokoro's clan was nearly wiped out many centuries ago and because of that his clan has lost the ability to master there unique power. Because of this Kokoro has made it his mission to master this power and restore the glory that is use to be. That's why he trains his body to its limit every training day so he can quickly learn and master his clans power. On the days he doesn't train, he likes to slack off of most of his daily duties and relax to get his strength back. The moment he is faced with doing some task he finds unimportant he would either find some excuse to avoid doing his task or simple hide away from everyone to avoid being force to do the tasks. If he could have his way he would enjoy the life he was given by taking in the sights and relaxing everyday. That's why he tries to enjoy the little things as often as he can. His most favorite way to relax is laying down in any comfortable location and staring up at the clouds and trying to see what shapes he can find.

Kokoro normally interacts with other people with a friendly demeanor. He likes to keep a positive attitude as best he can even when insulted. He spent most of his life traveling from place to place cause he has no place to call his own and his parents died when he was still young. His mother died before he was 2 and his father died when he was 11. During the time when his father was still alive they would spend there time traveling here and there, was how he learned to travel and survive off the land. Every time they would come across a town or village they would do some odd jobs and get friendly with the locals so they would have a place to stay for a few nights and stock up on supplies. During these times Kokoro would try and make friends cause they travel around so much he never had time to make any. When he finally leaves the town at least they would be welcomed back in the future if they ever went back. Over the years he had kept this friendly attitude cause he enjoys seeing the happy faces of other people over seeing them any other way. He always tries to brighten peoples days before heading back out.

When under the leadership of another Kokoro would follow if his interests are met. For example if he was ordered to kill another for the sake of peace, he would refuse. Kokoro isn't anyone's weapon or tool but merely an officer of peace. He will do whatever he has to in order to keep the peace. When put in a position of leadership, he wouldn't ask his subordinates to do anything he wasn't ready to do himself. He would respect his position and try not to overstep his authority and treat his subordinates with respect and in return expect the same treatment.

While in combat, Kokoro has two ways of fighting. The first way that he normally defaults to is to hold back most of his power and see what he can learn about his opponent. He uses this method most often cause even though his opponent is his enemy, he doesn't wish to kill them. He values life to highly and would plead to his enemies to stop the senseless fighting. When that doesn't work he would still hold back to try and subdue the enemy as best he can. He prefers to fight an enemy head on in close range combat and use his high speed and strength to overpower the enemy. He watches there movements closely cause as they say you don't truly know somebody till you fight them. There personalities are reflected in the way they fight. Kokoro fiercely attacks his foes in order to force them into submission when reason refuses to work. Once he believes he knows his enemy and the way they fight, he will then fight accordingly to what he has to do to win including killing his opponent. Even those Kokoro doesn't like killing and is determined not to kill, he will if there is no other choice.

The second why Kokoro fights is when he decides to kill his opponent. With all other options prove ineffective, Kokoro will unleash everything he has to silence the threat once and for all. He will show no mercy and continue to use his strength and speed to overpower the enemy and secure the kill. He throws away all passion and concern towards his opponent and considers his opponent to be pure evil and that it needs to be destroyed. He wont let up an once even if his body is about to fall apart on him.

General Appearance


Height: 5'6"
Weight: 156
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Skin Tone: White
Appearance:
Kokoro has a lean, muscular frame clearly toned from a lifetime of training in the martial arts. His dark eyes have been described by other characters as "squinty" or "shifty" and, indeed, they appear as if closed most of the time, opening only to depict Kokoro's darker or more serious emotions such as anger, frustration, and determination, among others. Kokoro wears his black hair long and tied in a ponytail with white ribbon while his long, spiky bangs hang over his face, often obscuring one of his eyes - usually the right, though this varies depending on the direction he's facing. Kokoro's original, signature outfit, consists of loose white trousers and a goldenrod shirt which bears a white flame pattern at the base and cuffs, small wing decorations at the collar and a large bird's head marking on the back, likely suggesting a phoenix motif. His more favorable outfit is one of all black, with a black sleeveless Nehru jacket worn closed under a long, black trench coat with black slacks and black shoes.
