PERSONALITY
LIKES FamilyAnimals Training his Quirk Reading | DISLIKES Losing controlVillains Rainy days Tight spaces. |
RUMOR/SECRET: | It's rumored that Ryu is an excellent cook. |
Some say that Ryu is someone that doesn't know how to quit. He's always had to better himself. From control over his quirk to helping out his family with their bakery, he's had to take responsibility from a very young age. Because of this he's actually quite mature for a sixteen year old boy. Some may mistake him as a young adult instead of a teen.
A normally gentle spirit, Ryu is someone who fully believes in the just causes of the Pro Hero system. He wants to carry on his fathers legacy and become a great hero. To save innocents and help people is a dream very much worth aspiring to in his eyes. But there is a darker part to that dream.
He blames the villains for the loss of his father. A four year old boy that grew up without his father because they had decided to break the law and put others in danger. He knew his father had died a hero. But that didn't make the loss any less painful. In a deep part of his soul... he believes that locking up murderers like those that took his dad from him can help relieve some of that pain.
He is also highly protective of those he cares about for the same reason. To make a friend of Ryu is to have a friend that will stand by you through thick and thin. He's a trusting person that do his best to help those he cares about. But if one betrays that trust or tears those he loves from him they will make an enemy that will not rest until he makes them pay.

OTHER: | 4 Corgis, 3 Cats, Yori Shisutemu (Cousin) |
Growing up without your father is hard. Ryu knows that fact first hand. Born into the Sato family just a few years before his sister moved out, he lost his father at the tender young age of four. Ryu remembers being sad about the loss. Crying and asking his mother and sister where their father was. There was a short time after the funeral where Ryu became... rather moody. He wanted his dad back. Nothing else mattered. And it was during this time his quirk manifested. The normally gentle child lashed out at an older bully in his elementary school class, a dragonic claw sending the boy careening down a hill during recess. Ryu was forced to go to therapy afterwards for a time. Though his greatest regret is that, truth be told, he hardly remembers his own interactions with his father now. A four year olds memory is so fractured by the time they grow to be an adult. Videos and photos are all he has left of his dad.
Aoi moved back home soon after their fathers death. Moving in with her, Aoi did her best to support the family with a growing boy to feed and their mother as well. Once Ryu was old enough he also began to help out at the family bakery to assist in putting food on the table, both figuratively and literally. Ryu went to school and had good grades, with a solid head on his shoulders. He did well and when he saw the good his sister was doing with her pro hero work he knew he couldn't just sit back and let her carry on their name by herself. He had a quirk suited for it. He had the temperment. He decided he wanted to become a hero. Like father like son, he supposed. Coupled with the swordfighting training that Aoi had been giving him on her free time he thought he was quite capable of getting into U.A.
And so he did, shortly after Aoi became a teacher at U.A. She had encouraged his dream ever since he told her, and he saw it as a sign of fate to get into the school once she got employed there. She had given him a recommendation due to his skills, but he still had to compete with other students in their own sectioned off entrance exam. And he passed with flying colors.
And with that he was assigned to Class 1-A, where he is trying his hardest to prove himself. He isn't going to let his sister down, not after all the hard work she had put in to get where she was. He had to live up to her standards and expectations. And he damn well plans to.
THE ARMORY
Dragon Scale Suit - A simple hero suit crafted from Ryus own dragon scales in addition to modern fabrications. It activates with his quirk, expanding and contorting to fit his transformed form and changing back when he does to protect his dignity. It also offers decent protection against blunt forces and blades due to the scales its made out of. It also helps regulate his temperature, keeping him warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
Cell Phone - A standard high-end smartphone.
Dragons Tooth - A one-handed broadsword provided to him by his sister. Its blade is real and as deadly as any other bladed weapon.
QUIRK & SKILLS
Dragonkin
TYPE: Transformation
RANK/LEVEL: D+
SUMMARY:
Dragonkin is a quirk that allows Ryu to transform parts of his body into different aspects of a dragons. With each bodypart that Ryu 'activates', his quirk grants him different boons. When used on his head, he gains enhanced hearing, sight, smell, a hardened skull with horns, and a massive boost to his bite force. His jaw is about as strong as that of a normal adult crocodiles in terms of bite force.

When used on his head, he gains enhanced hearing, sight, smell, a hardened skull with horns, and a massive boost to his bite force. His jaw is about as strong as that of a normal adult crocodiles in terms of bite force.
As far as senses, his increased senses grant him the senses of an animal such as a dog. His increased hearing can pick up even the quietest of sounds at night, track people through smell alone, and gives him excellent vision on even the darkest of nights. However these increased senses can be abused by a knowledgeable opponent. Loud noises and strong smells can cause him to rear back in pain, or a flashtlight being shone into his eyes if his eyes are adjusted to darkness may blind him for a moment, and so on.
Every part of Ryus body that is transformed gains a second skin of dragon scales. These scales act like a natural armor, giving him protection against blunt forces, small arms fire, and blades.
In terms of damage reduction, a normal human punch against one of his scales would hardly hurt at all. Small arms fire would leave bruises, and normal blades would find a hard time slicing through one of them when wielded by a normal person. Any damage sustained in a transformed state will carry over to his normal body.
He also gains the ability to spew forth high-pressure water from his mouth. While the water is high pressure enough to push someone back about 5 meters when focused, it is hardly enough to harm someone. Using it too often will cause symptoms of dehydration to appear.
When in direct contact with water Ryu can absorb water through his scales to rehydrate himself when transformed.
The scales do not provide any protection against purely elemental damage or extreme temperature changes.
His arms and legs grow larger and grant him increased physical strength and speed, respectively, as well as heightened jumping ability. He also gains sharp claws on the ends of his fingers and toes. His claws are razor sharp, capable of slicing through flesh and wood easily. The increased physical strength is enough to lift another person and throw them and crack stone, while the increased jumping ability is enough to leap dozens of feet. His top run speed with his transformed legs is 30MPH.
Using his quirk on his torso grants him a pair of wings and a long tail to allow him flight and extra balance to control himself in the air more easily. His tail strikes as hard as either of his arms when transformed. As far as flight is concerned he can use his wings to fly up to the top of tall buildings and descend well, and he can glide fairly decently, but complex acrobatic moves such as rolls and hard dives are currently beyond him.
When using his quirk to fully transform by activating his whole body, Ryu gains all of these boons all at the same time, and changing him into a full dragon. However, this has severe consequences, usually resulting in him passing out afterwards.
Should he push himself past his limit, however, the price is heavy. While he can potentially extend the timer for a transformation doing so puts massive strain on his body. At best he'll be really sore and unable to use his quirk again until his body heals. At worst his body may begin tearing itself apart from the strain, putting him in a hospital until his muscles rebuild. Currently his maximum limit for partial transformations is 8 posts in a thread before needing to rest, with his dragon form using all of them up at once.
WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
Every quirk has a weakness, and Ryus is no exception. While powerful, Dragonkin has a big downside. It's puts a large strain on Ryus body. Through hard work and proper training, Ryu has discovered he can keep up his transformation up to a maximum of 8 posts, down to a maximum of one post for a "full body" transformation. So long as he obeys this time limit he will suffer few bodily drawbacks. He also loses the ability to speak if he uses his quirk on his head, as he no longer has lips.

So long as he obeys this time limit he will suffer few bodily drawbacks. He also loses the ability to speak if he uses his quirk on his head, as he no longer has lips.
His body when fully transformed also grows to a specified height, specifically 13 feet tall at head-height with a 24 foot wing span. He gets no smaller and no bigger. If he attempts to use his quirk in a confined area he may crush himself to death or break whatever is confining him, depending on the strength of the container.
Hitting his time-limit on his Full Body transformation will immediately knock him unconscious after changing back due to the intense strain.
Being knocked unconscious while transformed will force him to change back. This includes falling asleep.
Dragons are inherently cold-blooded creatures, and as such extreme temperature changes will affect Ryu both in and out of dragon form. He can handle heat far better than he can the cold, but the most noteable drawback is that extreme cold will slow him down and make him sleepy. While the temperatures alone will not kill Ryu simply by themselves they can also hinder his transformation speed.
Currently, Ryu requires concentration to perform and maintain a transformation, and cannot switch a transformation in a post without stopping to do so. Any temperatures below freezing will cause him to take one post to retract and then reapply a transformation.
Swordfighting
RANK/LEVEL: D+
SUMMARY:
Aoi has been training Ryu in the art of swordfighting since he was a small boy. While he doesn't have the years of experience in real combat that his older sister does he is no slouch in the fighting department either. He knows the proper forms for holding and swinging his blade, he's memorized where the vital organs are in the human body and where to strike to debilitate his opponent the most. He strikes quickly and relentlessly until his opponent is subdued, and he is quite skilled at parrying other blades.
