Ryuji Malaguld
[edit]
Ryuji Malaguld (マラグルド 竜児, Maragurudo Ryūji), is an Au Ra who hails from the continent of Othard. As someone born at Azim Steppe he isn't a stranger to conflict due to it being a constant between Xaela tribes. A curious person by nature to what the unknown world is he is willing to travel great lengths just to see new places he has never been, a habit that has been dimming less by each passing summer but that in one way or another will always be present in his life. Since little, he learned how to respect and be respectful towards not only other people as well as their culture. He might not have many friends, being able to count them with the fingers of one hand, but the ones he has are respected deeply and he’s never willing to betray them. Although kind-hearted he has a belief that every conflict has its different standpoint and perspective, that there is no good or bad side, and will always try to avoid jumping into one before knowing both sides of the story. However, no matter how hard he believes in this, if he sees something he deems unfair (e.g: bullying the weak), he will probably make a stand since violence shouldn't be used as a solution to a problem.
He tries to wear clothing fitting for each occasion, sometimes spending a good amount of time to find an adequate garment. Despite this, he has a preference for loose and comfortable clothing that allows his body to move freely and relax. When wearing armor he tries to make it as light as he possibly can, taking care to avoid exaggerating his lack of weight since armor is meant for protection and not for fashion or comfort. The muscles of his body are a bit toned thanks to the training he underwent (and keeps doing even today) but aren’t very noticeable due to being mostly hidden beneath his clothes or armor. He is physically capable to fight and travel great lengths in a short time.
Loyal, kindhearted and generous. Due to the continuous confrontations between tribes in Azim Steppe, Ryuji had the need to become a capable fighter since he was very young, something that made him courageous in the face of danger and especially if someone important to him is in trouble. Although he is very confident in his abilities he is too self-conscious of his own limitations (sometimes too much) and ends up giving himself less credit than what he should, going as far as doubting about himself and if he is capable of accomplishing what is needed to. Because of this, he resents assuming/being given leadership, but he is the first to ensure that what is necessary gets done. His pragmatism and sense of responsibility lead others to trust and follow him and in turn, knowing about this, he tries to not disappoint them and avoids at all cost betraying their trust. As he always keeps his word he despite people who aren’t able to do the same.
Aside from believing in the Auri creation myth, like many Au Ra do, Ryuji believes in the existence of the Kami due to his mother teaching. He respects however that other people might have different beliefs.
This is a list of the items that Ryuji currently is keeping on him. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc. Last Updated: September 19th, 2017
Although his master, a former Doman samurai, properly trained Ryuji in order that he could become a stronger and faster warrior and in how to balance his strength and speed, the latter attribute would be the one where the Au Ra would be more distinguished at. Thanks to this he is capable of doing quick swings with his blade that are difficult to follow with untrained eyes. The way he moves in the battlefield makes one believe his opponents are making a swift dance with death itself thanks to the way he moves around swiftly and lands his blows in a quick succession with efficiency and precision. He knows however that there are warriors far more powerful than him, so he keeps training his mind and body in order to not perish on the battlefield. He is open to learning new techniques and styles if it helps him hone his skills, never betraying, however, the path of the samurai. This said and despite the sword being the area where his skills would stand out the most, there were other areas he was trained in that helped him complement his swordsman and warrior skills.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Ryuji has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what he has been up to.

These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Ryuji has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Ryuji, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! Last Update... August 8th, 2017 * An asterisks denotes that Ryuji doesn't know the individual's true name.

There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright. - No changes. |
