Where Your Abilities Fall

The Character Talents

::STRENGTHS::
[[1. Can play the guitar well]]
[[2. Likes to Play with fire (good for him, not for you)]]
[[3. In a band (can travel the world)]]

::SUMMARY::
[[Ryuu loves to travel, I mean really loves it. He has so many passports it's not even funny. He's in a band, which he loves to death and would do anything for them, and it fulfills his desire to travel easily. His fingers work like magic on his guitar (which he calls Bara for Rose), and the riffs are unbelievable. He will not go anywhere without Bara, only if the place is where she can get stolen or damaged is when he locks her up at home. Ryuu is odd, too, though. He always carries around one of these things: a Zippo, a piece of flint, matches, or anything else that is flammable. He is in constant cravings for fire, he loves the way it dances and the rhythm of it entices him. When is alone, he'll light a fire on the beach (his favorite place to go), pull out Bara, and just sit there a sing.]]

::WEAKNESSES::
[[1. His love for fire (can and will get him in trouble.]]
[[2. His band (he always seems to get mobbed almost everytime he goes out]]
[[3. He smokes]]

::SUMMARY::
[[Although his fires are small and contained, sometimes things get a little out of hand. Ryuu has been charged with 17 counts of arson and 2 counts of homicide because of his "small and contained" fires. His fans still love him no matter what happens. Speaking of which, his band. He loves them to death as well as his fans and he is afraid that his fans will be the death of him. Somehow, some way they always know when he's going out, where he's going, and what he's doing. So, inevitably he will get mobbed. You don't know how many times he has come home with black eyes and a bloodied nose. Even though he is in pain with the nose, he will always find a way to light one up. Marlboro 1oo's are always his favorites to smoke. Take his cigarette's and either he will attack you or he will go into a state of depression.]]

Human Appearance

::HAIR::
::EYES::

::HEIGHT::
[[6'2'']]
::WEIGHT::
[[175 Pounds (not including the 5 pounds of muscle)]]
::MARKS::
[[He has quite a few tattoos that are displayed on his back, arms and chest (his favorite one is the name of his band on the inside of his wrist written in kanji). He also has a scar on his right leg from an accident that happened when he was 5 years old.]]
::SKIN TONE::
[]
::BODY TYPE::
[[Athletic (not to muscly but just enough]]
::CLOTHES::
[[Ryuu only wears black, purple, and red. His clothes are designer and are supposed to look in tatters as well as he never wears shoes (he's known for it). You will always find him with a pair of headphones in]]
::SUMMARY::
[[Ryuu has smooth, milky caramel colored skin. His eyes are a deep, sky blue that are in stark contrast to his multiple colored hair. His black hair, which reaches his shoulders, holds neon yellow, neon green, hot pink, red, and orange (he is a very outspoken man). Ryuu never wears shoes, even out. And since he is a rockstar, he can walk into almost anystore without shoes and get away with it because the store needs the publicity. If they turn him away, he will slip on a pair of black combat boots and walk back in. Ryuu, being the rockstar, always wears designers out when he wants to be noticed. His favorite outfit is black with many straps, most of them dangling, and the metal buckles clanking against the chains that are hooked up to his crimson red skinnies. When he doesn't want to get noticed, he will wear a regular, sort of tight, white t-shirt and faded wash jeans with no shoes or flip flops. He has a customized i-pod that he carries everywhere to sample and get ideas for new songs. (Oh, and he also carries around a notebook and pen to jot down new ideas, just in case). His face holds four piercings. He has 2 snakebites, even though he only wears one most of the time, a nose ring which he only wears at preformances, and an eyebrow ring which he wears on special occasions. His ears hold a total of 8 piercings a piece, only 4 are worn at a time unless preforming. His has 6g Gauges on both ears and a bar that goes through the top of his ear and through the lobe. And don't get him started on his eyeliner, it's like his cigarettes, steal them and die or risk dealing with a very depressed Ryuu]]

Personality is Everything

How They Might Act

::LIKES::
[[1. Fires]]
[[2. His fans (they are the ones who saved him)]]
[[3. Zippos (he collects them, actually)]]

::DISLIKES::
[[1. Water (it puts out his fire)]]
[[2. Getting Mobbed (so annoying to get blood on his brand-new clothes)]]
[[3. Dogs (he doesn't know why, he just never did)]]

::FLAWS::
[[1. He can be very lazy]]
[[2. He speaks what he thinks (can be bad especially if he doesn't like the person)]]
[[3. His fires (gets him into a whole lot of trouble!)]]

::BLESSINGS::
[[1. He can be very outgoing and easy]]
[[2. Funny (everyone always seems to laugh at his jokes)]]
[[3. He can be very sweet and romantic (when he wants to be)]]

::SUMMARY::
[[Ryuu adores fires, as I have said before. And it can get him into a lot of trouble. His sister always bails him out, of course using the money from his earnings as a rock star. His fans have saved him from himself. He went through like a 5 month depression thing and Imiandi couldn't bring him out herself so she asked his fans to help. They sent so many blessings and support, he couldn't help but smile again and have fun. Ryuu absolutely despises water, it always puts out his Zippos (at least one or two from his impressive collection.) He will bathe, but only 4 times a week, not every day. Another thing: he can't stand dogs. The smell, the way they look, everything. He just hates them. He doesn't know why, but he does. Ryuu has so many bloodied shirts it's ridiculous, so he despises going out in his famous attire and getting mobbed. Even though Ryuu is a lazy SOB, he can be very sweet, just ask his sister. He loves to make her laugh and take her places, but they always seem to leave early because he somehow ends up starting a fire. Ryuu usually curses out the gaurds, shouting out what he thinks of them and getting himself even more into trouble. Imiandi loves her brother to death but why does he always have to speak his mind the way he does?

::HISTORY::
[[Born Kyuu Akiyama of the Akiyama household in the Kasegawa prefecture of Japan, Kyuu was the second youngest of the children. His grandfather, gifted in the art of the samurai, taught Kyuu at a young age to the ability to wield the nihonto, or the traditional sword passed down from generation to generation of samurai. His grandfather himself was a samurai, however told no one of this act for he was ashamed. Itusmo Akiyama (formerly Itusmo Jutisimo) was a very traditional samurai who was world renowned, until he was sent on an assassin mission by the Emperor long ago. He accepted the mission easily and set off to it. However he did not know that the real Emporer was the one he was to assassin. He carried out the mission, along killing 36 others. When Itusmo returned, he was rejected, thrown out of the Jutisimo Clan because they have heard of his acts and didn't want him to ruin the name. So Itusmo ran. Ran far away.

It took Itusmo 39 years to return with his son back to his homeland. He was still rejected, so Itusmo took it upon himself to give himself a new clan name, the Akiyama, meaning "autumn moutain", and placed himself in the Kasegawa Prefecture, 4 Prefectures away from Itusmo's original home. Itusmo didn't want his son to go through the same pain he did, so he left Sutsoiki out of the arts. Itusmo lived on a happy life, marrying a beautiful woman who didn't care if he accidently killed their emperor 40 years before, and had 3 children. Sutsoiki was his first and not Minatwa's, but Kirida, Kaeda, and Kazawatzi were Minatwa's. All three girls were triplets and Sutsoiki always felt left out, so he ran away at the age of 15 to join his friends cross country to manage their band. Sutsoiki was happy, until his father found him and took him home. After that, Sutsoiki ran away 6 more times before the age of 18, when he was legally released by his father. When Sutsoiki left, the day of the departure and Itusmo left for work, Minatwa, Kirida, Kaeda, and Kazawatzi were alone in the house on a Saturday, cleaning and such, when a gas leak happened. The girls didn't suspect a thing and when Minatwa went to go put tea on the stove, the entire house, including all women within, blew into tiny pieces.

Itusmo, thinking he was bad luck, went to where he knew Sutsoiki would be: his bands preformance. So, Itusmo followed where they were going and when they got close to the Prefecture, Itusmo went. He told Sutsoiki everything, from the happy beginning to the greiving ending. He told Sutsoiki what he did in the years before having Sutsoiki and what he had done, and what he regretted. When he finished, Sutsoiki just smiled and said thank you. Itusmo was rattled by the sudden act. Why was his son saying thank you instead of cursing him out. Sutsoiki just laughed and said he had been waiting a long time for his father to tell him and he understands everything that has happened now and he is blessed for his father to be his father and not someone elses. Itusmo was relieved beyond belief and traveled with his son, being their financial director.

Sutsoiki, at age 19 met the love of his life, Amaya, at one of the concerts, and immediately knew she was the one. Within a month they were wed. No one questioned this for the band knew Sutsoiki and if he knew she was the one, he knew. He had that perspective and knew the person inside and out at one glance, it was one of his many talents. Within a year they had their first child, Kitsune. In the next 1o years they had Umonto, Ryuu and Imiandi. Ryuu and Imiandi, being the youngest, had the most in common, and always played pranks on their older siblings. By the age of 3, Ryuu was the most perspective one of the group (collecting this from his father), and was one of the sweetest as well (collecting this from his mother). Itusmo found a strength in Ryuu and took it upon himself to teach him the ways of the nihonto. Ryuu learned quickly and by the age of 5 was world renowned. On the way to a preformance, on a snowy night, the car being driven by Itusmo careened out of control due to black ice and went off the edge of the cliff. Only Ryuu and Imiandi survived. Ryuu knew that he had to get his little sister out, so he attempted to pull the metal away from the tiny body. When the ambulance finally came, they found Ryuu halfway inside the car, dragging out his wailing sister and finding triumph in this act.

Ryuu spent 2 and a half months in the hospital, his sister 4 months, recieving several surgeries to repair his spine, skull, legs, and his right wrist. He's had many of the scars removed but kept his leg scar, which runs from the base of his right hip and runs straight down to the ankle, a jagged thing and still angrily puckered from the irritation of jeans against it. When he was 13, Imiandi 11, he moved both of them to America, which he hopes was better than his own home. This is where he met his band. Since Ryuu spoke only Japanese and only one other member of the group spoke both Japanese and English, the members began giving each other lessons, Ryuu Japanese and the translator English. Ryuu now speaks fluent English and Japanese and often writes lyrics for his band. Ryuu also learned to play the guitar during lessons. He kept up a beat and someone strummed along with it, he asked what the odd thing he was playing was, and thus his love for guitars was born. Ryuu was a natural and eventually surpassed his mentor to become front guitarist in the band (which they named promptly "Dead Roses", hence the name Bara from Ryuu of course.).

Ryuu passed school averagely in America. He wasn't a slacker nor was he a braniac. He had his A's and F's like any other normal student and manage to graduate Junior High with a GPA of 3.1 and High School with 3.5. Ryuu is considering college, but can't very well with his band and his little sister to take care of. Right now he and Imiandi live in a small, 1 bedroom apartment. Ryuu sleeps on the couch and changes in the bathroom for his little sister. Because of the accident, it has made their relationship even stronger, worrying that someday they may be seperated permanently like they so savagely had from their parents. Ryuu still practices the ways of the samurai with his grandfathers nihonto and is teaching his sister by giving her his old one. He wants to take all precautions to keep his sister safe (she always carries around mace, a small carving knife, ect.), but he still lets her be a teenager. He misses his parents terribly, but he can only hope that he can do them all justice.]]

.:Machinimatta show time saitechiru shukumei,
Dochira ni katamuku shouhai no yukue,
Agura kaiterya kyou nimo tsubureru,
Nagashita chi to ase onore de nugue,
Negai mo puraido mo fukume subete wo seotta tagai no haigo,
Nasake wo kaketerya dame ninaru ze,
Tamote potensharu mentaru men:.


*Along the riverbend did his legs carry his mass, the sun illuminating off his midnight pelt, sending it blue in respond to the brightness. By the way he carries his head, some say it was a cocky way of saying "I survived a battle that was impossible to survive in", but it wasn't. His head swung heavily, thoughts of incompleteness filled the scatter that was his mind. With all of the pain and suffering he had been through, it was no wonder that his head so low to the ground. The poor thing had his family AND his love taken away from him. The thought made the pure-bred Arabian stop dead in his tracks and hoof the ground violently. He knew it wasn't true, he just knew! He knew she was out there, he knew she was ok, and he knew that she still loved him! A sigh escapes without notice, the sun started to set beyond the walls that have trapped him within until he is old enough to be free. But he doesn't want to be free, he wants to love and be loved. Another, more mournful sigh escape his pearls as his crania lifted to the darkening sky. At least I will blend in better........*


.:The anticipated Show time where fate blooms and scatters,
Is it more inclined to victory or defeat?,
Even though I sit, I'll still collapse today,
Wipe away your sweat and blood,
Your wishes, your pride, all of them are piled on your back,
So have no mercy,
Keep your potential, your mental expressions:.


*The sun has fully set, so why are my feet still firmly planted in the ground. Why are there tear stains on my chest? My do my pillars feel like crumbling and I just lie there to die? Why not? It seems the appropriate time to. Pondering over my options, I hear another figure, seeming to carry their weight as if they were on the moon. I snort, as if a horse can travel to the moon. I mean, come on! If they were to be able to fly to the moon, wouldn't horses be born with wings upon their backs? I suppose not, since we weren't born with wings, not even tufts upon our bodies! A snort escaped my nasals as I continue to pass through the land, but my feet catching with a quick two-beat gait. As if I were trying to find something of a precious treasure. Until I burst through the trees. I find more than a treasure, I find an impossibility. It couldn't be! She couldn't have been captured like I have. Nor has she ever been younger than me by half a moon! This is impossible!*


.:Neko mo shakushi mo matta you na hiiroo,
Hitoban dake no goran, roman hikou,
Oo ii nee sonnan ja nee sa,
Kick on the corner mada tari nee ka?,
Itsumo to chigau hijou na jinkaku mamoru no sa subete,
Like a taamineetaa,
Yon kai, go kai de tatsu hairaito (fly high, yeah!),
Isso kono ba de tsutaetaru zo:.


*My heart quickened and my breath came shallow, but my pillars stood still against my will once more. She couldn't have been here all along and me not recognizing that bodice of her. She carries her bodice as light as she had, and her crania was shaped exactly like hers! It's impossible. The fireflies illuminate her coat, a shade darker than her's was, but she had every possible physical feature that she had. Her name rings in my head like peals of thunder. The name sends shivers down my spine as I imagine her face smiling at me for the last time I was able to see her in 2 years. If I had known that I would be away from her for that long, I would've stayed wit her, just for a little while longer. The thought of being able to actually be close to her without feeling uncomfortable made me angry at myself for letting me leave without saying a proper good bye to the one I love. How I miss her so, but now it is time for me to get well on my way to see if I can find her. I know for a fact that she is not her. And her is not she. But it doesn't hurt to be curious, is it?*


.:It's like everyone and their mother has been waiting for a hero,
I saw the romantic flight in just one night,
Isn't that great? It's not like that,
Kick on the corner, isn't that enough for you?,
I protect all of those different, cold-hearted personalities,
Like a Terminator,
4 times, 5 times stand up, highlight (Fly high, yeah!),
I might as well tell you all about it:.


*Her gait speeds, then stops abruptly, as if she were to be testing my wits and if I shall follow her every move. As her breathing returns and rejuvenates, her bodice tenses and I can feel that she senses my presence within the trees that cloak me from tip of my aud to the bottom of my pillars where the bone spreads and is covered protectively with the hard shell. My breathing quiets as she spins around, looking straight at me, but never seeing me. The smirk that plays across my maw never quite reaches my eyes. I am filled with wonder of the strange beauty. She is more alike to her than I thought, even her protective stance is the same as opposed to when I last saw her. A quiet sigh rumbles through my body, legs nearly buckling as I hold my position and stare the wild mare in the eye, making sure contact in case of a sneak attack. I search for any danger, hoping to find none, but also hoping to find some.......*


.:Everybody stand up! Agero kyou ichiban no jikan da,

Hold up your fingers and count down,
