Character Template
Name:Ookami Ryuto
Age: 15
Grade: 1st Year
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 134 lbs
Nationality: Japan
Affiliation: N/A
Physical Appearance: Ryuto's overall body type is a bit on the slim side, but well toned. If you were to look closer at his actual body, you can see that his body has very fine scars all over (He's not too sure as to how he gained most of the scars as he figures it was just from his "Trial and Error" training. His skin can be described mostly as a tan.
Ryuto was born with jet black hair but has decided to dye his hair (He's not a goth or emo btw). His hair comes down to his forehead, with the ends dyed crimson red. His eyes are dark brown and slanted about fifteen degrees. No facial hair, but he's still coming into age.
Clothing: Ryuto wears the traditional male school uniform, except the jacket only comes to his chest. Besides the jacket, everything else is the same.
Ryuto isn't one to actually dress in anything formal as he doesn't go to many fancy places. Maybe he has a dress shirt and pants with some shiny black dress shoes somewhere in his closet. It's not like he's old enough to go club hopping.
For training, Ryuto likes to wear the lower half of a karate gi and nothing else. It's hard to explain but Ryuto thinks the more his body is exposed to nature, the more it'll get used to it and become stronger.
For the all in all, just hanging out or going shopping, RYuto likes to wear a white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, red and white chuck taylor all-star sneakers and biker gloves. He was inspired by a video game character that wears a similar outfit.
Personality: Ryuto is a curious person. He likes exploring into the unknown and finding something new. It could've been because of his interest in comic books, or the martial arts, or maybe it could simply be in his genetics. He's willing to go through anyone and anything to find out something new. An overall hard-worker, he considers himself the "Stamina Genius". Since travelling with his parents around the world, Ryuto has a hard time making new friends. It's not an issue as to whether or not he trust others, but whether he trust himself and find a lasting place where he could have lasting friendships.
Fighting Style: As far as fighting style goes, it's not really one particular martial art, but a blend of several. Although he never mastered any real martial art, he takes the techniques of various martial arts to increase his fighting arsenal. The styles that he has picked up on so far are as follows: Karate, Jujutsu, Muay Thai, Chinese Kenpo, Greco-Roman Wrestling, and Tai Chi Chuan. Although he can only used the very basic of the basics from these fighting styles, how he mixes each style into an attack makes them more powerful.
Secondary Fighting Style None at the moment.
Techniques: N/A
Weapons: Ryuto doesn't use weapons. Rather he considers hard training of the human body can be seen as a "weapon"
Strengths:
Ryuto was never really taught the styles he uses, but was able to observe these techniques watching various competitions involving these martial arts. In other words, he's a good observer. Ryuto's "Possible claim to fame" is his stamina. For as long as he remember, he has taken daily walks and jogs. His oxygen reserves gives him stamina several times over someone his age. He might not be the fastest person in the school or the strongest; he might not be the smartest or most technical, but as far as stamina goes, he has the potential to compete with the best of them.
Weaknesses: Knowing some Greco-Roman Wrestling, Ryuto's body is smaller than most people whoo actually practice this style. His fighting style is a blend of basics from different martial arts and although they do strengthen his fighting capabilities, they are still basics. Therefore, it is difficult for him to create and use combos in his attacks. Attending this school was not of his choice, but it was a "Last Resort"- as quoted by his mother in that he's not exactly "Book Smart".
History:
Ryuto was born to a Japanese father and a mother who was half-greek, half chinese. His father, being a parapsychologist, was always caught up in his research of the paranormal and extraterrestial. His mother, however, is a researcher, studying the ancient world in the modern times. From this, Ryuto and his family got to travel to many exotic and interesting places. Because of thes travels, Ryuto never got to make any long-lasting friends and travelling across the globe as an only child meant a lot of times where he would have to entertain himself. Reading comic books and watching television shows where the heroes were able to do magnificent things while being known throughout their city or country or world, that was the kind of life that he wanted. However, he could never do any magnificent things like lift buildings over his head or run faster than a bullet train, he was just human. But not all heroes had those special abilities. They could just kick the bad guy's butt with nothing but martial arts and determination. It was the easiest way to get what he wanted. Over the years, almost anything and everything that involved martial arts, he stuck his head into it and tried to utilize it himself.
Building his body as he thought practical, Ryuto is now fifteen. His mother has decided to transfer him to Toudou Gakuen as a "Last Resort". Not exactly knowing the reason why she sees it as a "Last Resort" Ryuto couldn't help but be a little bit interested in a school that doesn't even require books. Attending the orientation ceremonies, he has figured out that this school is a place for up and coming martial arts masters. To him, it'll only be a matter of time before his dream comes to fruition.

Roleplay Sample:
Coming back home from the Freshman Orientation, Ryuto grabs a snack from the fridge, lays across his living room couch and turns on the television. This would be the first time he had went to a school where he didn't have to do any kind of assignment whatsoever. His mom left some of her research papers lying on the coffee table. Something just drew him to look at what she wrote, but before he could pick it up, his father was opening the front door. Ryuto left the papers on the table and headed towards his room. His father went straight to the living room to turn the television off. He glanced over the paper that Ryuto was about to read and picked up a small laserdisc that was underneath it.
Although he didn't get the chance to read it, Ryuto couldn't get it out of his mind. His curiousity in the unknown- something everyone in the entire world has in common- was growing.
Just what could there be to research in a city just like any other in Japan? Since we moved here, both my mom and my dad haven't been their normal, perky selves. What's so interesting about this town besides Toudou?
