Appearance:

Of small, slender build and with a youthful, androgynous (some might even say "feminine") visage, Miyamoto Ryu cuts quite a different image than would be expected of the notorious "Counterfeit Slayer", and his appearance belies his nineteen years of age, making him look a few years younger. However, he is easily recognized by his infamous distinguishing features: mid-back length red hair tied in a thick ponytail, and a cross-shaped sword scar on his left cheek.


Ryu's hair is thick and abundant, with all of the shorter frontal hairs falling across his face as bangs rather than being in the ponytail at the nape of his neck.


Most of the time, Ryu dresses simply, wearing a plain men's kimono of modest quality, with white umanori hakama, zori and white tabi. His sword, Murasame, is slung over his shoulder in a blue, steel saya.

Spoiler

Ryu's sword, Murasame (passing rain) is a unique sword that can take any form it's wielder envisions. The wielder must simply envision the form they wish the sword to take, then pass their magic through the blade. This ability also grants it immunity to manipulation via other magic. Ryu keeps the blade in an unsharpened state, so it can be used in nonlethal combat. He also keeps it in the form of a Nodachi as a handicap and as a way of holding himself back. Otherwise, he would keep it in the form of a katana, as a large blade such as the nodachi is not well suited to a fighting style that places as much of an emphasis on speed as his does. It is composed of a strong lightweight alloy that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, similar to Invar.

When he is planning on fighting solely using martial arts, however, he wears a white happi jacket with black trim and the four kanji characters for Shōnetsu jigoku (焦熱地獄) - meaning "Burning hell", or "Inferno" - emblazoned on the back in a square, as well as white dōgi trousers. He always wears his jacket open - sometimes leaving his arms out of the sleeves so that it simply drapes over his shoulders. Ryu does not wear a shirt beneath it, instead leaving his chest bare while white sarashi bandage tape is wrapped around his abdomen; this same white sarashi is wrapped around his ankles and feet.


He has a tattoo on his back identical to the writing on the back of his happi jacket, although it is only visible when he is using his Flame GodsBane Magic.

Personality:

Ryu is normally a quiet and reserved person, always striving to be respectful and kind. He is softspoken and will very rarely raise his voice above a normal speaking level. He spends a lot of his time training in isolation, and as a result he is not very comfortable in social situations. In combat however, he is much more at home. He is able to maintain a calm collectedness even in extremely demanding circumstances. Those who have fought alongside him often find his ordered psyche to be reassuring during battle.


He is very loyal to those he considers friends and has an ironclad sense of morality. If he sees an act of injustice, he finds it extremely hard not to get involved. He adheres to the code and ideals of the samurai, and is rarely seen wearing anything other than his traditional kimono.


Despite his intense shyness and social anxiety Ryu is also an unparalleled orator, capable of spinning eloquence or humor into an offhand comment and prone to making grand, moving speeches off the top of his head. While maintaining his cool, he is rather adept at philosophical arguments, swiftly seeing the cracks in any opponent's logic without missing a beat in conversation.


Ryu's personality used to be the polat opposite of what it is now. He was violent, short tempered, hostile, callous, and impulsive, often getting into fights over trivial issues. Under Hanekoma's tutoring, Ryu has managed to, for the most part, suppress and seal away that part of himself. However, if he gets overly agitated or angry, he may relapse back into his old personality. Because of this, he is always mindful of his emotions and takes care to stay calm, often simply leaving situations that may provoke him.


Magic:

Flame GodsBane Magic - A type of magic closely related to Flame Dragon Slayer Magic and Flame God Slayer Magic. The basic abilities are the same, and it allows the same ingestion of flames as its cousins. There are a few significant differences however. The first is that in addition to using pyrokinesis, this style of magic also stresses the study and practice of kejustu in compliment to the flames. The second major deviation is the coloration of the flames. Unlike God Slayer Magic, GodsBane Magic is not always black in color. Instead, the color of the magic is tied to the user's aura and soul (Bright red in Ryu's case).


The flame attacks taught by this style are functionally identical to those taught by its Dragon Slayer and God Slayer counterparts. In addition to those, certain kenjutsu techniques are also Taught.


When fully mastered, the strength of its magic is on par with that of God Slayer Magic. However, such a mastery takes decades of training, and Ryu is still far from completely mastering this type of magic. As such, his flames are only around the strength of a Dragon Slayer's.


Lightning GodsBane Magic - Because he trained under Saito for a year, Ryu has a very basic and limited use of the Lighting Style of GodsBane Magic.

Passive Abilities:

Flame Body: Because Ryu uses Flame GodsBane Magic, he has become completely immune to fire. Furthermore, he can also absorb flames through his skin to replenish his magic power. He cannot absorb his own flames. Because he is able to absorb Fire, but is not a true slayer, he has earned the nickname "The Counterfeit Slayer".


Fire in the Blood: Because of the magic he uses, Ryu soul possesses a permanent link to the kami Kagu-Tsuchi. This link gives him partial immunity to disease and toxins. While it does not mean he is immune to the effects of disease or toxin, he will recover from them more rapidly than a normal human, and the likelihood that he will die from most toxins and diseases is significantly lower than that of an ordinary person.


Solar Powered: In addition to flames, Ryu's magic also allows him to absorb sunlight. The energy gained from this forms a separate pool, and can only be used for simple hand blasts, or the powerful Sol Cannon if he's collected enough.


Grounded: Because he has fought against Aoshi's powerful lightning so many times, and because he studied Lightning GodsBane Magic himself, Ryu has developed a near immunity to lightning and electricity, only able to be hurt by lightning as powerful as Aoshi's. Aoshi has developed a similar resistance to flames.

Kenjutsu:

Ryu practices the Kasai Uzuken-ryū (火災渦剣流, Flame Vortex Sword-Style), which is taught exclusively as a part of Flame GodsBane Magic. Rooted in the concept of ichi no tachi, or "to strike in a single blow", practitioners of this style use a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu (the art of sword drawing), and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement in order to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy. The style commonly has the user keep one hand on the sheath at all times and also stresses two-step attacks in order to ensure that the practitioner is never off guard while executing said attacks. Arguably, its most well-known trait is the surreal speed practitioners of this style use in battle (known as Shinsoku, or godspeed), allowing the user to accelerate, maneuver, and strike at speeds most eyes are unable to properly follow. This allows the user to close considerable distance in seconds and strike down enemies before they can react in time.


Techniques are as follows:

• Gōkatsuisenshi (業火槌穿刺, Hell Fire Hammer Strike) - From a position higher than one's opponent (usually initiated by a powerful jump), one uses the momentum of the fall to strengthen a two-handed sword swing that brings the blade down on the opponent's head or shoulder.
  Gōkatsuisen ● Zan (業火槌閃・惨, Hell Fire Hammer Flash: Disaster) - Beginning in the same way as Gōkatsuisen, the user positions the sword as to initiate a downward stab to the head instead of a downward swing.
  

[*]Gōkashōsenshi (業火翔穿刺, Hell Fire Soaring Strike) - The opposite of Gōkatsuisen, Gōkashōsen is a rising attack meant to strike the jaw from below. For additional power, one uses one's free arm to apply force to the back of the blade and utilizes a powerful upward jump during the attack.


[*]Gōkatsuishōsen (業火槌翔閃, Hell Fire Hammer Soaring Flash) - A combination of Gōkatsuisen and Gōkashōsen, Gōkatsuishōsen begins with the powerful jump and supported upswing of Gōkashōsen, giving the leap enough power to pass one's opponent in mid-air, and on the returning drop, Gōkatsuisen is performed.


[*]Gōkasōsenshi (業火巣穿刺, Hell Fire Nest Strike) - A massive flurry of strikes delivered to the opponent. The sheer speed of the slashes makes this technique difficult to counter or defend.


[*]Sōgōkasenshi (双業火穿刺, Twin Hell Fire Strike) - Seemingly a simple Battōjutsu strike, Sōgōkasen is the first of Kasai Uzuken-ryū's two-step Battōjutsu moves. After the first strike with the quickened sword, the user wields the empty sheath along the same path as a blunt weapon. After the sword strike lands, the sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood, but if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as powerful insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when it's least expected.

• Sōgōkasenshi ● Ikazuchi (双業火穿刺・雷, Twin Hell Fire Strike: Thunder) - An alternate form of Sōgōkasen wherein the sword is wielded while still inside the sheath. The first strike is made with the sheathed sword and, once it makes contact, the sword is drawn using Battōjutsu for a second strike. While the original Sōryūsen is designed to make two strikes, Sōryūsen Ikazuchi appears designed with the assumption that the first strike will be blocked.
  

[*]Kuzugōkasenshi (九頭業火穿刺, Nine-Headed Hell Fire Strike) - A dashing attack that uses Shinsoku (Godspeed) to simultaneously strike all nine vital spots on the foe's body from a normal kendō stance, as each of these nine points are the main targets for different swordstyles. The nine heads of the targets are in counterclockwise while looking towards the target from the user's view:

• Karatake (唐竹/幹竹, Tang Bamboo/Tree Trunk Bamboo) Aimed at above head with downward strike: 壱 (ichi, one)
  
• Sakagesagiri (逆袈裟切り, Inverted Kasaya Cutter) Aimed at right shoulder diagonally: 弐 (ni, two)
  
• Miginagi (右薙, Right Mower) Aimed at right arm's center from the side: 参 (san, three)
  
• Migikiriage (右切上, Right Cutting Upward) Aimed at right arm's bottom/right wrist diagonally: 肆 (shi, four)
  
• Sakakaze (逆風, Inverted Wind) Aimed at groin area from below via upward stroke, or straight from front: 伍 (go, five)
  
• Hidarikiriage (左切上, Left Cutting Upward) Aimed at left arm's bottom/left wrist diagonally: 陸 (riku, six)
  
• Hidarinagi (左薙, Left Mower) Aimed at left arm's center from the side: 漆 (shitsu, seven)
  
• Kesagiri (袈裟切り, Kasaya Cutter) Aimed at left shoulder diagonally: 捌 (hatsu, eight)
  
• Tsuki/Shitotsu (刺突, Thrusting/Thorn Stab) Aimed at center of chest, at breastbone: 玖 (kyū, nine)
  

[*]Shukuchi (Reduced Earth) In addition to his Shinsoku ("Godspeed") Ryu is able to move even beyond god-like speed, only showing his footsteps crashing into the floor. This also allows him to run on walls. He also uses reduced forms of the technique, naming them (X) steps below Shukuchi. This technique relies on immense leg strength and footwork, and was developed from Shinsoku. Whereas Shinsoku is described as "Speed faster than the eye can see", Shukuchi has been described as "Speed so fast, it cannot be seen no matter what". Shinsoku is about equal to Three steps below Shukuchi. His speed when using it rivals that of High Speed mages. It is not known whether it is magic, or simply a powerful physical ability. It is an innate ability of Ryu's and he is the only user that he is aware of.

History:

EARLY LIFE


Miyamoto Ryu was born without a fuse. He was constantly getting into fights with the other children, and he would quickly resort to violence. As early as the age of 5, he was seen breaking another child's jaw over an argument. No one really knew why the young child was filled with so much hate. Theories ranging from hormone imbalances, to cries for attention were put forward, but all were eventually dismissed. It seemed to all that Ryu had come into this world hating everyone and everything.


His rage fueled outbursts eventually caught the attention of one Saito Hajime, the current master of Lightning GodsBane Magic. At the time, Saito had been searching for youths who might be worthy of his teaching, and Ryu, aged 6 at the time, had piqued his interest. He approached Ryu and offered him a chance to compete against two other boys for the honor of becoming his apprentice. Not one to be outdone, Ryu immediately accepted, and so, the training began.


Saito's training was brutal, pushing the three to their mental and physical limits. He taught the three of them in physical combat, as well as basic magic. Ryu worked non stop during the training, letting the rage within him fuel his efforts, seeming to get stronger with each agonizing task.


At the end of a month, Saito gathered the three of them together to address all of them. He informed them that it was time to deem which of them was worthy of his apprenticeship and that only one could win. The three youths were pitted against each other in a free for all, anything goes fight. Without hesitation, Ryu mercilessly beat the other two boys within an inch of their lives, not even using the basic magic Saito had taught them.


TRAINING


Once Ryu had been officially accepted as Saito's apprentice, his training only got more arduous. No part of the day was wasted, with mornings being devoted to physical training, midday to Magic training, and evenings to academic training. He was allowed just 10 minutes for lunch, and if he took any longer, he would face severe penalty. Ryu's training continued uneventfully, until the day he met Hanekoma Sanae.


Hanekoma, like Saito, was a master of one of the styles of GodsBane Magic. He'd heard of Ryu through his correspondence with Saito. With each letter, he'd gotten more and more interested, until he simply had to see the boy for himself. He approached Ryu during one of the extremely rare times when he was allowed a break, as Saito had other business to attend to. He managed to start a conversation with Ryu, although reluctantly on Ryu's part, and the two continued to talk for a while. As he spoke with Ryu, he noticed something within the youth. Although he did exude a strong aura of hate and anger, Hanekoma saw another, more caring and gentle side, buried deep inside him, underneath all of the animosity. He brought this up with Ryu, to which he predictably reacted with hostility. He completely went off on Hanekoma, enraged by his audacity to say such a thing. Hanekoma listened calmly and, when Ryu had finished his outburst, thanked him for his time and told Ryu that the door at WildKat, Hanekoma's cafe in Crocus, would always be open to him.


At first, nothing changed. However, as the days went on, Ryu just couldn't get what Hanekoma had said out of his mind. It still enraged him, but he'd slowly grown curious, until he simply couldn't let the matter go.


During another of Saito's errands, he went into the city of Crocus, where Hanekoma had told him that his cafe of WildKat was located. He talked with Hanekoma again, this time a great deal more willingly, and he listened intently to what Hanekoma had to say. When Hanekoma had finished, Ryu asked, hypothetically, what could be done to unearth his buried personality. Hanekoma smiled and said that he could help, if he came to train under him instead, but he stressed the point that it could only be done if Ryu himself wanted, truly wanted, to change. He told Ryu to think it over and to get back to him in three days, whatever his decision may be. Ryu spent a long time mulling the decision over, and returned to Hanekoma after the agreed three days. He'd decided that he did want to change, and that having Hanekoma train him in GodsBane magic instead of Saito. It took some convincing, but Saito begrudgingly agreed to the arrangement, departing to find another disciple.


Ryu's training under Hanekoma was radically different. All of his time was still devoted to his training, but Hanekoma was much more forgiving, taking care not to push Ryu too far. He was patient with Ryu and would always listen quietly whenever Ryu had one of his outbursts. Slowly, he began to make progress. Ryu's outbursts started to become less frequent, albeit slowly at first, and he eventually started to listen Hanekoma's advice on more than combat and magic. In addition to magic and combat, Hanekoma mentored Ryu in academics as well, teaching him mathematics, literature, and sciences, among other things.


POST TRAINING LIFE


After nine long years, Ryu had finished his training. He had mastered Kasai Uzuken-ryu, and had succeeded in his transformation as a person. He had become caring, compassionate, and had learned to care about others. His anger had been brought under control, and although he hadn't managed to remove that side of himself completely, he'd buried it deep within his soul, similar to how his caring side had once been. Seeing his growth as a Mage and swordsman, and as a person, Hanekoma told Ryu that he'd taught him all he could. He said that true mastery of GodsBane Magic required a full understanding of nature, and that such understanding could only be attained alone, and not taught. Ryu simply nodded and gave a knowing smile. He'd come to expect something like this as the final step, and as such, he was ready for this. He gathered what few possessions he had, and bid Hanekoma one last farewell before departing to live the life of a wanderer.


For a year he wandered, learning of the world. As he traveled he heard many stories of a guild known as Fairy Tail, so, the next time he passed through Magnolia, he decided to check it out. He was immediately taken aback by the sheer amount of people and the rowdiness of the guild, having become quite shy as his anger had been sealed away. Although he didn't feel like he could deal with the chaos of the guild, he joined anyway, having been moved by the strong bond between the guild members. He once again took up the life of a wanderer, taking jobs he would find wherever he was.

Skills:

• Complete mastery of Kenjutsu
  
• Expert Swordsman and Martial Artist
  
• Calm and collected demeanor
  
• Immovable will and conviction
  
• Extremely acute senses
  
• Even when he is in his impulsive Gokasai personality, he still possesses a frightening intellect.
  

Other:

He will often say Ikuzo (行くぞー, Here I go) to make his opponent aware before attacking. It is part of his samurai code to fight on equal terms.


He ends most of his sentences with some form of "That it is" which is an English approximation of the Japanese sentence ending "De gozaru" which is used as a sign of respect and modesty. This stems from his desire to put others before himself. His Gokasai personality does not, however, do this, as he values himself above all others.


He refrains from using any weapons other than his own, because, due to the nature of his attacks, if he uses any weapon that isn't of superlative quality, he will end up destroying it.
