[classy=apptitle]Personality[/classy][classy=appinfo]Ryusuke is, put simply, a very, very complicated individual. Over the course of his short life Ryusuke has undergone a number of different changes to his personality, mostly the result of external stimuli. While extremely inquisitive and enthusiastic during his early childhood it soon gave way to a defiant and self reliant nature as he became the target of ostracism both in and out of school (largely because of his appearance), although this would also fade within the next year and a half to produce a balanced mix of the two sets of personality traits by the age of nine.
Mostly self reliant by then and with the inquisitive nature and enthusiasm that had driven him earlier now returning but this time with the drive to stand up for himself, Ryusuke remained both driven but happy in the following year until his mother's confinement to a wheelchair in the same car accident that took both his right arm and left leg. While drawn into a deep depression for a matter of months during the rehabilitation process, Ryusuke would emerge from the dark period changed, but for the better.
Rather than let the accident drag him down, Ryusuke's personality was further strengthened by the fact he knew he was lucky to be alive. By the time he had turned 13 his metamorphosis, while not complete, had reached a relatively stable point - while still retaining the intelligence from his early childhood years, Ryusuke had become a highly independent and self reliant, daring individual, taking risks whenever he felt them necessary, a trait even further fueled by the motivational drive he'd acquired earlier in his life. As a result it has made him particularly stubborn and difficult to persuade even with logical arguments once he sets his sights on a particular goal - Ryusuke had figured by this point that life was too short and the time worth too much not to pursue what one wanted. That being said, he still harbors a number of personality quirks that make him appear at the very least eccentric to those around him at times, the first and foremost being phantom limb pain (the sensation of feeling pain or biting cold from limbs that no longer exist) – while becoming increasingly rare as time passes and lessening in intensity, it will cause him to act somewhat oddly at times, as if distracted or otherwise preoccupied, although certain external stimuli can mess with his prosthetics and generate similar responses.
Over the past two years, however, Ryusuke's become much more disillusioned with the world around him than most people his age, and a certain bitterness has set in as a result of living the life forced upon him - while not outwardly hostile to those around him, it comes off as more passive aggressiveness, as well as a taste for dark and gallows style humor.[/classy][classy=apptitle]Skills/Weapons[/classy][classy=appinfo]
Prodigy: Extremely intelligent and very much aware of it, Ryusuke has clearly inherited the talents of both of his parents - his IQ scores during his lasts tests climbed well above 180, much, much higher than the vast majority of the rest of the human race. Observant, perceptive and an astonishingly fast learner, Ryusuke has studied chemistry, physics and the human anatomy at great lengths, and over the past two years he's managed to develop a decent skill for cyberwarfare. Needless to say, he is not an opponent someone will underestimate twice.
Aiki Ken Ai Kido: A skill set picked up during his younger years as both a means of self defense as well as a boost to self esteem, Aiki Ken Ai Kido is a japanese form of martial arts dedicated to controlling the flow of movement around the user, turning Ryusuke's relatively small size - something that would have been a curse in most physical confrontations - into a blessing in disguise. Due to the fact that the style was based off of kenjutsu (sword movements) and that it still retains many of the original movements (many Aiki Ken excercises begin with the use of Bokken, wooden/bamboo practice blades), this also makes Ryusuke much more dangerous than one might think should he ever manage to get his hands on any elongated object during a fight.
Athlete: Generally speaking, people don't get fat living on Earth - either malnutrition takes hold, or your body gets a lot of exercise just in order to survive. Ryusuke is a case of the later - already having been in relatively impressive condition as a result of his activities prior to leaving Mars, Ryusuke's managed to stay in shape through a combination of martial art drills/exercises, learning to move through Earth's wastes in a single piece and partly because of the added weight of his prosthetics - on top of that is the fact that while hitting puberty hasn't done much for his height, it's certainly compensated in terms of physique. Quick, strong and limber, Ryusuke is capable of a number of athletic feats.
Prosthetics: Having lost his right arm and left leg in a vehicle collision when he was eight, both limbs have since been replaced or supplemented with prosthetics - his entire right arm from the shoulder down, and his left leg from the knee downwards. His current prosthetics, built by Ryusuke himself - mostly out of scrap metal - to replace the rather subpar ones given to him by the hospital two years ago, have their own set of pros and cons. While slightly bulkier, heavier and clunkier than most modern models and more prone to environmental complications due to the materials used in their construction, they are also far more durable than one might expect and much easier to repair, relatively speaking. They are also much more dangerous when used as improvised weapons in combat because of their increased weight and durability, as well as offering numerous other utilitarian uses if one gets creative enough to discover them.

[/classy][classy=apptitle]History[/classy][classy=appinfo]Born to Naomi Vessen and Ugumi Yamagichi in 2054, a pair of talented weapons designers for the ISSP, Ryusuke was incredibly inquisitive, showing an inborn intelligence from an early age that was quickly noticed by both teachers and fellow students alike. While normally not particularly attention drawing on its own it quickly made him the target of ostracism when combined with his rather unusual eye color, along with the fact that he didn't seem to partake in any of what most children his age considered socially acceptable activities. By the time he had reached the age of 7 it had come to outright physical confrontation, and what had been something of an enthusiastic but inquisitive nature quickly turned into one of defiance, self reliance and a general “screw you” attitude, with Ryusuke finally joining a local dojo at his mother’s insistence in the hopes of learning a means of self defense.
Highly encouraged by his natural ability in the art, Ryusuke excelled with his studies at the dojo, quickly becoming one of the top students due to his quick speed, the ability to improvise quickly when needed and above all, just plain being too stubborn to back down. As he became less and less of a social outcast thanks in part to both having found a group that accepted him as well as having gained the ability to fend off the few physical attacks that came his way, Ryusuke was actually happy for a short time, a fact coupled with his academic performance that clearly showed that he’d inherited his parents’ intellectual talents.
A year later he and his mother would be involved in a car accident that both crippled his mother and cost Ryusuke two of his limbs, completely severing his right arm from the shoulder down and crushing his left leg from the knee down. Bleeding heavily and unable to locate his arm for possible reattachment in time, the medics were forced to amputate the remains of his lower left leg to stop the bleeding, with Ryusuke still nearly dying despite numerous blood transfusions. Comatose for nearly two days after the collision, Ryusuke found himself without the ability to move on his own and his mother in a similar situation as a result of being paralyzed from the waist down, and for months afterwards he was drawn into a deep state of depression, with only the rehabilitation process saving him from complete despair. By the time he had reached the age of ten Ryusuke had managed to pull himself loose from his depression, focusing on what good had come from it - for starters, both he and his mother were alive when they had no right to be, and in large part due to several advancements in prosthetics he could hypothetically regain full functionality in day to day life despite the loss of his limbs.
Realizing that life was simply what you made of it and that everyone's time was limited in one way or another, be it by age, chance or otherwise, Ryusuke decided he'd simply make the most he could of the time he had, viewing it as a second chance. Returning to normal classes nearly 10 months after the accident (in large part due to the physical rehabilitation and adjusting to his new prosthetics), Ryusuke delved back into life with a drive rarely seen in people his age, climbing to stand near the top of the student rankings, position he managed to maintain despite (or due to) his rather stubborn attitude in addition to having to leave the dojo he’d been training at. As time went on Ryusuke even went so far as to begin to study robotics and anatomy under the tutelage of his father, having already decided to dedicate his life to help others who were similarly handicapped. Two and a half more years would pass before anything else would notably change in Ryusuke’s life.
As Ryusuke’s thirteenth birthday began to draw closer and closer, he began to notice changes in his father – Yamagichi, normally a calm, dignified individual, began to seem much more nervous as the days went by, and within months of Ryusuke’s birthday it had evolved into full blown paranoia, with the man updating their home security, muttering to himself and jumping at shadows. When confronted by his family, Yamagichi simply replied that work stress was beginning to get to him – plenty intelligent and perceptive as well, however, neither Naomi nor Ryusuke bought it, but without further information to go off of there wasn’t much to be done. When Ryusuke’s birthday rolled around the corner, however, Yamagichi surprised him by bringing the teenager to the hospital, saying that it was to get fitted for newer, better prosthetics – leaving Ryusuke with the money for a bus fare, Yamagichi quickly left to head back home, saying he had things he needed to get done for later that day. After that Ryusuke had his arms and legs measured, and his at the time current prosthetics removed and replaced with low grade temporary ones for until his new set could be fabricated before checking himself out of the hospital and taking a bus ride to his neighborhood, which was when things began to take a turn for the worse.
As Ryusuke began to approach his home he began to notice that a number of things were off, different from before – small things, but definite differences just the same. None of the neighbors were out of their houses, neither of the two dogs that the people who lived next to his home had were barking, and as cliché as it sounded Ryusuke simply began to get a bad feeling, especially after hearing sirens approaching his neighborhood, despite still being a ways off. Recalling his father’s at the time pointless paranoia, at least from his own perspective, Ryusuke decided to take a leaf out of his old man’s book, calling his house via cell phone instead – when the call couldn’t connect, however, Ryusuke began to get well and truly worried. Rather than leave then and there, though, Ryusuke began to carefully approach his home, using neighbors’ backyards to get close enough to see where the power and phone lines to the home had been cut. In approaching his home, Ryusuke also saw something he’d never forget – a small thing, seen through the house’s side window, but a large puddle of a liquid that Ryusuke recognized all too well from years before, as well as a man whose face would remain seared within the boy’s memory. By then realizing that he’d already gotten far too close to what was clearly a murder scene, Ryusuke got the hell out of there, from that point on following his father’s philosophy and completely dropping off of the grid, trashing his cell phone and travelling by foot rather than public bus back to the city.
Once there, Ryusuke used public sources of information – libraries, city archives, etc. – to begin trying to figure out what had happened, at least on a fundamental level. It wasn’t long before Ryusuke came across the news articles – two adults killed in their home, with both of their children missing and actively being searched for by the authorities, but with no mention of the people who had done it. Recalling the face of the man he’d seen in his house, Ryusuke began attempting to go a different route in trying to identify who it was, and it didn’t take long for his efforts to pay off, leading him to someone who’d been tentatively identified as an enforcer for a number of big time criminal organizations. Still not yet satisfied with an incomplete answer, however, no an individual that he could in no way touch, Ryusuke began looking into his father’s personal information instead, or at least as much of it as he could access from public terminals. Due to Yamagichi’s increasing paranoia in his final days, however, getting into his files was not an easy thing – even with Ryusuke’s talents it took nearly six months of hiding for him to accomplish it, and once he was in the teen didn’t like what he saw. Most prominently were Yamagichi’s emails, many of whom were from private weapon manufacturers, ISSP officers who clearly weren’t talking to him in an official capacity, and a few other names that Ryusuke had come across when identifying the man responsible for his family’s deaths. All of them were centered around the same thing – attempting to get Yamagichi to leave the ISSP and work for them in an official manner, or at the very least allow them access to otherwise restricted information, something that Yamagichi’s own emails made it clear he refused.
While there were no explicit threats made in the emails, nothing truly incriminating, Ryusuke was smart enough to realize what had happened, and why the ISSP was still looking for him six months later. He was also smart enough to realize that he would be in no way safe on Mars – it was the root of it all, and by staying there he was in the heart of the lion’s den. From that point on Ryusuke immediately started working on a plan to leave the red planet – during his time attempting to crack his father’s electronic security, he’d learned plenty about cyber warfare, at least in theory, and began to put it to use. Using his public ID to gain access to one of the local starport’s computers, something he’d dare not do until then lest the ISSP or the people pulling the strings were able to find him, Ryusuke tweaked a few bits of information here and there to book him passage to the last place anyone would dare to follow him – Earth, which had by then become a barren wasteland, and far too dangerous for any sane person to risk following him to. While he was at it, he also sent everything he’d found to the personal emails of all of the ISSP’s top brass, figuring that not all of them could have been corrupt, afterwards immediately departing and arriving on Earth a month later.
Once on the rock, Ryusuke didn’t stop there – now relatively safe from the people hunting him, Ryusuke quickly set to locating the few places planetside that had access to the internet and satellites that had regular data streams through the Gate, and from that point on began a one man crusade to hurt the organizations that had forced him from his home in every way he could – accessing merchandise shipment dates and addresses, bank records and records of personal ID usage that could be used to incriminate people either through money transfers or through proving an alibi false, and during those two years Ryusuke built himself a new pair of prosthetics, mostly out of the plentiful scrap metal on Earth’s surface. By the time Ryusuke’s fifteenth birthday rolled around, the syndicates were through tolerating him, putting out a 35,000 Woolong bounty on Ryusuke’s head through the ISSP for his safe return into “protective” custody.
