Badges:

Name: Ryuusei Mori
Birth Place: Vehra - Dathrago
Location: Vehra - Dathrago
Hair-Color: Black
Eye-Color: Sunset orange
Height: 5'6"
Age: 22
Birthday: May 21st

Occupation: Slave trader
Elements: Light/Healing

Weapon:

Fighting style: The focus of Ryuusei's fighting style is defense - his 'attacks' are based in redirecting force, throwing his opponent, breaking their weapons or limbs, and generally disabling them. His style is not a lethal-force sort of style even though it could easily switch to that by using the blade end of the spear. His attacks primarily come from the centrifugal force of the shaft in combination with a twirl movement from Ryuusei's body. It makes him appear as though he's dancing.

         Attack:
3 stars
**Mostly non-lethal, bashing, blunt force attacks that hurt and disable, but generally do not directly wound are what Ryuusei likes to use best. Most of his other attacks that may be lethal he would hesitate to use at all. He never wants to kill someone... and usually can't do enough immediate damage to do so.

         Defense:
10 stars CAPPED
**Ryuusei's specialty - He is extremely quick to read and defend against his opponent because of how -much- fighting he has been through. This coupled with training in defensive throws, trips, shoulder bashes, and a myriad of other defensive techniques make Ryuusei extremely hard to hit. He's built with broad shoulders and a limber body, giving him a unique edge over slow, attack focused opponents.

         Speed:
8 stars
**Ryuusei is a trained dancer. He is limber and very fast with his footwork. While he doesn't focus solely on speed, or nearly as much as he focuses defense, he is still very quick, and light on his feet for rapid turning. Further training has allowed him to hone his swiftness to a finer skill level which allows for faster recovery time from attacks, and quickens his reactions.

Personality:
Ryuusei is a loyal, caring person. He is naive and honest, though tends to let things pile on his shoulders to spare other people. He has an informal attitude and tends to take a laid back approach to most problems, offering a smile as his usual answer to awkward or personal questions. There is nothing that shines through Ryuusei's personality more than his general concern for the well being of others, and he will not hesitate to speak up to defend the defenseless. He comes off as entirely too forgiving for those who try to harm him, though he is more careful with himself now than before. That does not apply when people hurt his friends or family, however. He is exceedinglyunforgiving with those who do intentional harm to the ones he loves. Frequently, Ryuusei seems lost in thought, or distracted as he attempts to wrestle with his own mindset.

History:

Years ago, Ryuusei was a normal son of a fruit and jewelry trader. He had a loving family, a well fostered environment filled with travel and opportunities. His mother, Aeria Mori, was a very outgoing woman - a redhead known by the locals as 'Crimson Gale'. She was a former, decidedly minor, Coliseum attendee and challenger who turned merchant after one too many run ins with sore losers. His father was a quiet man born in Seo'ki, and raised in a life of travel around the world to hear the stories of all kinds of people. He passed his time as a mercenary and defensive fighter - only once did he challenge the coliseum... and lost to Ryuusei's mother. The two later married and bore one son who looked like the spitting image of his father.

Being the only heir to a rather wealthy Vehran family, Ryuusei was quickly being groomed to take over their profitable business with lessons in math, statistics, and strategies to gain profit among other things. The Mori family trade had been unrivaled in fruit previously, and they began trading in jewelry as well after a curious acquisition, making a move on one of the more cut-throat industries in Vehra aside from slave trade. As their trades gained them more profit, they became a threat to the already established jewelry traders of Vehra. This made the Mori family a target, and one night, the entire family, minus Ryuusei, disappeared. Ryuusei had been out tending to the weekly stock counts when this happened, and returned to find his home ransacked. Fearing the worst, he searched for bodies, only to find that there were none. He only found a torn bit of cloth with the symbol of what he believed to be a slave trader left. With nothing more to do than go forward, the young merchant took his broken home and started investing his time in what was left behind in an effort to find those he loved the most.

His life was not one that was 'glorious' because of how young he started at being a merchant; his parents left large shoes to fill. Many times, he had to depend on the help of others in order to really get through tough times and situations. After six months of missing his parents, Ryuusei finally left the care of a neighbor to his home to pick up his parent's business in earnest and begin the search. He took his parents teachings of patience and passivity against aggression until he was captured along with an entire caravan of merchants he was traveling with by slavers. People who profited from other people's lives as cargo and goods broke something within Ryuusei, leading to his first kill... and first 'illegal' escape from custody of a slaver. From then forward, he decided a different angle to his search. Slaves had information... and they needed a legal way into freedom. Because of this, he decided to play the role of the 'double agent', and used his parent's fruit business as a front to train acquired slaves how to get by in the outside world in exchange for information. A year passed and Ryuusei fell in love that ended in betrayal shortly after, leading him to his second resolution; Personal involvement in romantic situations was generally a bad idea, and contact physically was even more risky. He became a distant benefactor with a sad smile, leaving most to wonder what caused the bright teen of the Mori home to become so aloof. What about his parents? Little did anyone know how long his search would be.

--------*UPDATE 2/7/14*--------------

As time goes on for Ryuusei, he has come to know many people and their stories since he's lived in Vehra for six, nearly seven years, without his parents. During that time, he met a member of his family that he thought was dead, made countless friends and a few enemies. Its been a year since he met Ton, and almost that much time since he's met Janan, both of whom he holds dear. The two lived with him for an extended period of time, Janan still staying with him even now. Ton has since left Ryuusei's home as a freed slave after learning about the fate of his family, Ryuusei left in Vehraa to contemplate his next steps on his own search. With no clues or direction, he is determined still to find something, anything relating to his family's disappearance so many years ago. With the recent capture of the dungeon in Vita Grottoes, he has renewed faith that he can make progress on finding those who took his family... and exact his revenge.

--------*UPDATE 3/16/14*--------------

Ryuusei has conquered part of his troubled past with his ex lover Maalik, and has thus re-acquired Rajani, the jaguar that Maalik had been keeping care of. In doing this, he solidified his status as Maalik's enemy, and an unexpected friendship status in its place with another person. This step on his journey was a necessary thing, he believes, so he can focus more fully on the search for his parents.

--------*UPDATE 2/12/15*--------------

With the last year of strife and terror past him, Ryuusei has finally found his parents, though not without immediate challenge from a group known as Crescent Howl. With Ryuusei's lineage in question, and his parent's lives on the line, there was little more to do than attack the situation full force. Information gathering was slow and stressful, but what Ryuusei gained was information that his parents were alive, but in the hands of those who took them seven years prior. With a new vendetta in his heart and a crushing weight on his soul, Ryuusei gathered support from his closest friends to head up the assault and rescue mission against Crescent Howl. Applunio's legend has since come to life with her two son's ancestors - Ryuusei and Karsh - bringing the age-old jade necklace together... and beginning what they thought to be the end of Crescent Howl's cult-like terrorism of their family lines. The situation remains complicated for Ryuusei, but after the defeat of the 'treasure' Applunio killed her own sons for long ago, Ryuusei has gained his djinn's full power and his family. Now... there is only recovery, planning... and a vendetta to carry out.

Emotionally, Ryuusei has found romance difficult due to rejection, and quietly keeps to himself a bit more now since his assumptions and feelings have become a burden to his friends more than a few times in this last year. While he is by no means discouraged, he is more self conscious about what he say and does. He is, of course, gaining confidence because of his parent's return.

--------*UPDATE 9/9/15*--------------

A second venture into Vita Grottoes proved successful in Ryuusei's quest to find answers for his djinn's sake... and to stop the disappearances around Aryglaion Island. Much of the information he gained was, however, mostly through a forced vision between the two djinn. Ryuusei was unfortunately left with more questions than answers and now must seek out a magi for more. The problem with that would be Ryuusei's own emotional and mental state, which he must now take time to repair and understand more fully before taking any more steps toward the truth. After losing his memories, and re-learning his life, he is coming into realizing that there are ghosts of his past that he can no longer ignore... and that he must confront them himself.

--------*UPDATE 4/16/16*--------------

Crescent Howl has struck against Ryuusei again. While they sought to capture both the Ryuusei and Karsh together, Ryuusei made it a point to use the situation presented to him, and pre-emptive knowledge of the bandit group’s intention to take on the task by himself. This lead to his capture, as Crescent Howl used hostages to gain the upper hand against the trader, leading to a month and a half of imprisonment and torture. Mysteriously, information about his capture was then leaked some time later, and a group of Ryuusei’s friends led a rescue effort that destroyed the base where Crescent Howl was keeping him. He was freed, but not without the severe cost to his mentality. Realizations about his own martyr complex and self-abandonment have come to light with this change… and the trader works now to focus on fixing this for himself… for once.
