Personality
Ryou is a humbled, head-in-the-clouds young adult who strives to see the good in everyone and everything. While he has tendencies to be a tad naive, he isn't exactly clueless. Ironically enough, he carries the disposition of a somewhat "subtle extrovert", gladly accepting company around him and willing to approach practically anyone - however although he is quite charming, he often gets inside of his own head and displays restraint in fear of rejection or comparison... his father being the one to blame for this inferiority complex. Regardless of his struggles, though, he is most comfortable around others. He truly believes that although some people can be deceiving, cold, and overtly materialistic, everyone was made for sociality and partnership (perhaps some of that naiveness kicking in)... and even though friendships are fleeting, that certainly won't stop him from establishing them.
Casually, Ryou is an easy-going soul, yet in battle he tends to instantly drop his logical thinking processes and feed into impulse, mostly out of panic and adrenaline. Due to being a practitioner of Celestial Magic [hopefully, w.i.p], he thrives in team settings and the idea of relying on others for success is a normalized concept for him, even in areas of life outside of battle. However, had Ryou continued to live in the regal city of Crocus with his parents, his father would be disgusted with such behavior. Being an astute member of the Rune Knights, Ryou's father would try again and again to train Ryou in the ways of soldier-hood and even different forms of Requip Magic to instill the concept of solitary strength and self-sustenance to his son. But regardless of the amount of training that began at a young age, it simply didn’t click.
As a child, Ryou's morals naturally aligned more with his mother, who was not a wizard and very much a pacifist. He had developed a soft heart as he grew older, and despite how much of a disappointment he had been to his dad as a failed Rune Knight “Squire” of sorts, Ryou bottled up the emotions of suffering rejection and set out on his own, and has never second guessed that decision since.
Likes:
✧ Grooming / Self-Care;
Hailing from the capital from a semi-prestigious family, Ryou values his outward appearance and tends to do as much as possible to look presentable.
✧ Studying Magic;
Albeit not the strongest of men, Ryou finds strength in mental capacities, and he believes the true potentials of magic lie hidden in its whispers.
✧ Traveling;
Ryou sees different places as opportunities to improve not only your understanding of culture, but as the ability to establish connections with others that could come in handy down the road.
Dislikes:
✧ Arrogance;
Living as the son of a Knight his whole life, pride was very much an element Ryou had to witness and actually feel the repercussions of often in his younger years.
✧ Hot Foods;
Although silly, the young adult simply cannot handle steaming meals as he finds them troublesome and impossible to enjoy.
✧ Bugs;
Bugs…… crawling, antennas… that’s the only justification he needs to despise the bothersome creatures.
Motivations:
✧ Self Improvement;
Although he is the complete opposite of an eldest son that his father desired, Ryou does want to be the best possible mage that he can be. He doesn’t want to have to rely on everyone all the time in order to get somewhere in life.
✧ Family;
Ryou gave up long ago on trying to make his father proud, as he would inevitably fail each time - but he does care for his family, especially his younger sister mother. As he lacks the opportunity to see them often, he usually makes each decision with them in mind.
✧ Love;
As tacky as it is, the young boy does have a lot of affection and zest for life in his heart, and always willing to share it with those in need. Inheriting this trait from his mother, he believes everyone is deserving of tender care and affection in life, regardless of status.
Fears:
✧ Rejection;
He’s experienced harsh treatment from his father at a young age, and the memories and emotions are seared into his mind.
✧ Loneliness;
Being so outgoing, Ryou fears that at the end of the line he will have no one who cares for him, especially since he is so willing to be there for others. The thought of enduring the never-ending despair of being alone fills Ryou with angst.
✧ Failure;
Something he’s experienced often in the past and swore to himself he would overcome is failure. He strives daily to prove to himself that he is capable of becoming just as strong and able as anyone else, yet the constant whisper that he will never be good enough in the eyes of his family and others torments him at the worst possible times.
