Starting Inventory: Combat Well-Weathered Red Umbrella Other Mysterious Vial Keepsake Talisman Survival Rations Knife Large Backpack Tawdry Notebook Hairband (Polka-Dot) Current Inventory: Combat Well-Weathered Red Umbrella Other Mysterious Vial Keepsake Talisman Survival Rations Knife Large Backpack Tawdry Notebook Hairband (Polka-Dot) Droplets within Mysterious Vial: 0 personality | Ryoga's "primary" trait is his ability to get lost to such a profound degree it is both downright comical and kind of tragic. This extends to the degree where finding his own backyard or even going in the direction he is pointed in is akin to finding steam in a fog bank. His nomadic lifestyle and his constant isolation combined with his inability to find his family or home (due to their own genetic predisposition to being lost all the time) have left him often miserable and lonely, quick to anger. Conversely, his isolation has also made him emotionally volatile, naive and rather fragile. Though Ryoga channels it into fighting spirit and sometimes anger, his clinical depression lends him to consider happiness something of a rarity, so he is often over-grateful to any outright compassion kindness offered to him, while simultaneously being ignorant of the way others tend to empathize with him. Said predisposition also makes most emotions very violent and powerful, whilst also being very brief. First Impressions: Ryoga is temperate, shy and polite, particularly around women. However, his overwhelming personality lends him to being easily provoked. However, his inherent self-sacrifice and loyalty shine through if one is kind to him. Likes Fighting, stability, companionship, food (even shit food, he isn't picky), cooking, being pampered, finding things. Dislikes: Loneliness, getting lost, deceit, being used, being trampled over. Quirks: Ryoga is very easy to anger but just as easy to pacify, provided one is careful. Ryoga appears to trick even himself into making stupid decisions, and will often shift blame for his own foul-ups. history | TBD skills & misc. | DETAILS ABOUT SKILLS, WEAPONS, ITEMS & ROOMS MAY GO HERE Skills: Survivalism: Due to Ryoga's perpetual accidental roving of dangerous and often nearly uninhabitable locations has ironed him into an excellent survivalist and a very competent forager and gatherer. Further contributing is his durable fighting style, which culminates into making him very good at keeping alive in nearly any circumstance. Durability: Among Ryoga's training under the tutelage of a Chinese Amazoness he withstood on a consistent basis barrages of large boulders, which have ironed him into a fighter with extreme durability and stamina. Iron Cloth (鉄布 - Tetsu Nuno): Ryoga seems to have a never-ending supply of his trademark bandannas, using them as razor sharp missiles, and can even turn his belt into a blade capable of easily cutting through a tree, or a steel pole, with a single slash. These attacks are assumed to be possible by Ryoga channelling his Chi into them, vastly enforcing the tensile strength and cutting edge of the fabrics. His umbrella is unusually resistant, but Ryoga easily wields it with one hand to deadly effect and increased impact damage. However, female Ranma was also able to use this, and it's unclear if Ryoga strictly carries this dense version towards the end, as even the Jusenkyo Guide's small daughter Plum was able to effortlessly lift it at this point. Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics: For some unknown reason, Ryoga has a fair knowledge of this martial art. The only time he really uses it is early in the series, when he tries to teach it to Akane, then to Ranma, to prepare them for a fight against Kodachi. Given his proficient use of "iron cloth" ribbon technique whip attacks, it is possible that he studied it for this purpose. "Bakusai Tenketsu" (爆砕点穴 - Lit. Explosive-Breaking Point-Hole): or Breaking Point, is a technique taught to Ryoga by Cologne. Originally used by construction workers to clear away debris, this technique enables Ryoga to shatter rocks and similar substances with a finger. The training is gruelling, consisting of tying yourself and a boulder to a tree and repeatedly slamming yourself, finger first into the boulder until you figure out the "breaking point". The technique is useless on humans, but the training's side effects make the user nearly invulnerable to physical attacks. Also, this technique is what allows Ryoga to tunnel underground. At some point, Ryoga also develops a version which works on wood. He is also seen using a "Rapid Fire" version at times, striking quickly and repeatedly to produce several small blasts in a row. "Shishi Hōkōdan" (獅子咆哮弾 - Lit. Lion Roaring-Bullet): or more simply known as Lion's Roar Blast, is a technique was taught to him by an engineer during his wanderings. By concentrating his depression and anger into his chi, Ryoga is able to unleash a massive blast of energy from his palms. When he was first taught it, in its imperfect form, the attack was strong enough to either knock out/defeat Ranma in one blow, or require a few shots, depending on his focus. The regular version proved enough to stun the latter noticeably, even when Ryoga was transformed into a small child.He has occasionally been shown to use this to help blow tunnels through solid earth. The secret to perfecting the technique lay in the use of the chi and the strength of the user's emotions. As chi generated by depression and anger is "heavy," by projecting it into the air, Ryoga creates a massive sphere of chi that has been shown capable of instantly creating an even larger smoking crater, in what appeared to be a stone foundation,and later crack the earth around it, reaching the onlookers at what had been considered a safe viewing distance away from the epicentre. The more ki generated and used in this attack, the larger the resultant sphere of destruction; the greatest visual effect was shown when used to utterly vanquish an opponent in a single blow. Simply being grazed by the outermost boundary of one of its most powerful strikes was enough to immediately conquer Ranma, despite the latter's attempt to lessen the impact with his weakened Moko Takabisha. But a full hit from a later (seemingly weaker, given the lack of increased crater size) attempt simply stunned the latter for roughly a minute, quickly followed by a strike with even less impact. "Dairokkan" (第六感 - Sixth Sense): Like several other martial artists in the series, Ryoga has displayed an extrasensory awareness, which warns him from incoming danger/attacks. However, at least once in the manga, during the Musk Dynasty arc, his Sixth Sense and poor directional sense combined, causing him to predict an incoming attack, but to expect it from entirely the wrong direction! Sekiteki Kairin Gasa: Ryoga opens his umbrella horizontally and spins it rapidly, using this to hypnotize a foe and render them unable to move. A more potent variant that works on multiple opponents is the Shinteki Kairin Gasa. Chiri Metsuretsu: By twirling his umbrella in a flamboyant manner, Ryoga can baffle and confuse multiple foes at once. If he is in his piglet form, he can achieve the same effect with a bizarre, flamboyant dancing routine. Appearance: Ryoga wears a severe expression that further hardens his already rather angular features, concentrated in two heavy brown brows over oak-colored eyes. His hair is bushy and somewhat unkempt, a matte black mass atop his head. His skin is paleish and rarely tans even through his constant exposure to sunlight, and he typically dons a traditional wanderer's outfit vaguely Chinese in origin. He also appears to very much like the color yellow. Mundane Talents: Cooking, Dancing, Gymnastics, Running, Rock-skipping, solitaire, solo Shogi, writing, gathering, painting.
