Appearance: Ryuu has medium black hair which rarely stays the same shape, he has a red marking over his right eye in a vibrant red it matches the mark on his cat's forehead just tilted, his eyes are separate colours although he keeps his left eye shut only opening it during fights when he's being serious, there are two scars on his face one under his right eye and another horizontally across his left cheek and the bridge of his nose, Ryuu tends to wear earrings usually some form of chain with a head or similar item and a reversed teardrop or tassels these are usually batted by his cat which usually sleeps across his shoulders, the cat being black and yellow eyed with a marking on it's head.
Ryuu usually wears bar his shinigami clothing and captain's garb, neutral coloured shirts and jackets usually either a single sleeve and shoulder cover with another item underneath or just a plain jacket with no shirt, this usually shows a claw necklace what appears to glow red, he continuously keeps his left arm covered usually the coverings being broken or ripped off at some point and has several bandages tightened to his clothes to reduce grab holds for his opponents Ryuu usually wears the bottom half of his kimono assuming his top half is somehow folded within and on occasions he has a tattered red sash and brown crossed belts, his shoes tend to be similar to knee high tabi with straps wound up and above the knee.
Personality: Ryuu is a perfectionist, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes his interest. What prevents him from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: He applies (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from his own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing Ryuu from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake, but there are days where his brain lets go and he does nothing but find a nice place in the sun, much like a cat care free and lazy.
Step Into My Life
History: Ryuu was born in 1304 during the Kamakura Period in Japan he spent most of his time as a wandering swordsman since times were hard bringing a sense of turmoil and civil war, during his life he the honour of meeting the sword maker Masamune also managing to meet some of his students, it didn't take a lot to see great works he even had the chance to see the sword Honjo Masamune, it was a masterpiece and Ryuu set it back knowing the price in his mind he would pay for it if offered the sword knowing it would be something sought by all.
In 1325 as the civil war was beginning to appear, several battles appeared and in which Ryuu with a sword on him was caused to be attacked a phantom blade not owned by the attackers striking him down, his soul rising up and being greeted by a stranger in a black kimono and eventually light as he re-awoke as if alive again in soul society.
Ryuu was fairly lucky having a sense of things in his living life somehow increased his spiritual pressure and after a few decades in rukongai number 12 and after finding a feline companion by the name of Miyu he finally began attending the academy, Ryuu's training was hampered somewhat by his left arm being covered up all of the time, the attack in his life passing over leaving it black as if burned, fearing this may look bad Ryuu kept his arm hidden from site what people didn't know didn't hurt them.
It took almost 3 centuries before Ryuu fully completed his shikai under the help of his comrades in the 5th squad the resulting shape exposing his arm, although people assumed this is what his Shikai looked like and left it alone, it was several decades later people noticed his arm remained practically the same in an unreleased state, Ryuu made it to Vice Captain a century later before working on a hope to achieve his bankai.
2 Centuries passed until Ryuu achieved bankai for the first time and it was almost a century later before he was promoted to the rank of 5th squad Captain a title he had to learn quickly, as he has only been a captain for several decades now and he still hadn't settled in completely.
RP Sample: An explosion followed by a loud scream of defeat and frustration, forcing Deriku to grab the bridge of his nose and shake his head it wasn't like this had happened on that scale before, mostly is was Akiko coming out with food she cooked that rarely tasted good. She should know her problem by now....Over excitement and worry causing her to panic and ruin things.
Something worried him about the size of the explosion due to a previous one was only with a small meal which didn't need worrying about, but since there were over half the people extra eating more items and things would have been used this was only working in coordination with the dream he had, they would have to get supplies at the end of the week or so a few days earlier than usual.
Deriku watches as Eiva brings the most likely edible and clean bits of food out, What was trying to make? He slides off the window sill and walks over to check the food, he was brave enough to try it since people would be put off by the actions to make it, there was a time Akiko tried cooking and he and Tsuna were the test dummies...Mostly him since Tsuna wouldn't of been caught napping like he usually does. He takes a small amount of Akiko's latest 'creation' if he didn't die or any other tell tale signs of it tasting horrible show up the others would try some at least, Deriku places it in his mouth and eats it. "For Akiko... This is actually good." The slight shocked look on his face would of spoken for him as he wanders back to the window sill and sits down to let the others eat.
It wasn't that bad but the after taste would hit them soon enough, he just managed to hide it perfectly from people it then came to him to tell Akiko that as long as it doesn't explode she might make something that could rival the bread which they all enjoyed.
