BIO

NAME: Ryunosuke Rengoku, formerly Altan Qerel
AGE: Looks 30's to Early 40's
DETAILS: Tall (Around 8'), thickset and shaped by exercise and a life of battles. His white eyes have an outline of neon-blue shiny limbal rings that can look rather haunting and piercing.
His tail is huge, heavy and thick. The scales seem to dance, and it can easily drag itself on the floor, were it not so well-balanced as to keep itself hovering just above.
His voice is powerful, deep and grave, resembling a distant thunder, due to the fact he rarely shouts or raises his tone over the needed amount.Voice Claim below: Zephyr from Tales of Arise

HOOKS

EASY HOOKS

Hire? Ryu calls his current occupation a "Finder" but it is not unheard of, to call him a detective of sorts. He is hired to find things, as obvious as it is. Information? People? Lost objects leaving a trail? He is rather good at acquiring information.He seems to be a fairly laid back man. For those who can read Aether, half of his is sealed, though it doesn't seem grave or immediately dangerous.Any resistance fighter from Doma and Hingashi would potentially know him and a merry band of Mercenaries that fought for the Alliance Army, though they most certainly carried previous experience.An artist, specially with his sketch book. He seems to love drawing as his instinctis tell him to do.His scent is of Lemongrass and a Touch of Rum, with a lingering presence. And his eyes seem to shine like neon at all times.There are faint signs of glamour along his skin, but nothing that would mean hiding too much of his own self.

MEDIUM HOOKS

His sealed Half of Aether is not empty; though it is hard to feel any energy that lingers too much, certainly there is a reason why it is that way.He suffered under the iron hand of the Empire in the past. And whatever he hides, lies within his eyes as well. Torture, suffering, and bitterness had led to hatred.He has the manners that of Hingashi more than anything Doman, but there's still presence of a proper Xaela inside, somewhere; he lived enough to belong to a tribe, before going further East.His manners show Eastern Martial Arts' training, but unlike the Monks of Rhalgar. He was taught to walk silently and to be lethal.He belongs to the Rengoku Clan, an old Clan of the Hingashi that played the game of politics, enduring until the time of liberation came.

HARD HOOKS (ASK)

It appears that the sealed half of his Aether possesses some kind of presence. It calls out, despite being shackled and contained.To certain types of perception, it may resemble a figure perched on his shoulders. Tormented souls tend to see him as one of their own, but they naturally steer clear of him.His drawings can be terrifying to seers and those with certain vision-related abilities, as they emanate a feeling of darkness and ill-fortune, when he allows his hand to move of its own accord rather than creating typical art. There seems to be some sort of Glamour applied to his skin, concealing something; this does not pertain to race, form, or anything else more complex.

SHADOW HOOKS (ASK!!)

Once wearer of the Hannya Mask, he was part of a proud group of Shinobi. He is allegedly the last Silver Oni member alive.His Aether reeks of Ice Element stronger than anything else, and a tainted part of it, resembling a wild, Void-Like pressure, which denies the possibility that he could be an elemental, despite the element aspect.After the events of Endwalker and his own arcs, his Aether has a 'cold' touch to it. Half of it remains occult, fact that is detectable by Aethersensitives, but impossible to ascertain as to 'why' or 'how'. He seems, otherwise, entirely normal.He was once the member called simply Hai 灰, with his Ashen Hannya Mask.The Rengoku Clan is said to be linked to the Silver Oni quite directly throughout time.

OOC

Typing this part sucks. So, I'm lazy, I'm tired, I work, I have been playing RPG and RPing for aeons.
I usually tend to write paragraphs.
I do not participate on OOC drama, and I have no interest in it. I do not gossip, and most likely you won't hear me caring much about other people.
Other than that? I'm pretty calm most of the time. Just naturally tired, like a caffeine-deprived panda.
