Appearance:
Ryu is just about 6 feet tall, weighs about 170lbs, and is of an athletic build. He has fairly pale skin, and long dark brown hair that comes down to cover his forehead. His eyes are dark brown. His face is youthful and he is often mistaken for a teenager.
Personality: Ryu is an intelligent and charming young man. Many believe him to be a kind-hearted and generous young individual; this is always how he tries to present himself. However, this is simply a ruse to hide his true nature. Ryu is, for the most part, a madman. He is manipulative and deceptive, selfish and greedy. Ryu suffers from sudden and extreme mood swings, not quite to the point of being bipolar, but while he can be sweet and friendly, he can also be spiteful and harsh. This combination of personality traits makes him an extremely unstable individual, and hence, an extremely dangerous Channel. This is only amplified by his powers having the ability both to save life and to destroy it. Ryu harbors no great love for anything in the world,but by the same token harbors no great hatred of anything either. There is no reason for his malicious and destructive nature. No logical reason, at least.
Equipment/Clothing: Ryu goes with the flow. Whatever the latest trend, he is willing to spend his parent's money on it. He owns many a designer suit, as well as at least a hundred casual outfits. Normally, however, Ryu prefers to wear jeans and a T-shirt, and a jacket over the top with the sleeves rolled up.
Details of powers: Ryu's powers are interesting in that they are so versatile. His ability to manipulate living material allows him to heal himself and others rapidly, making even life-threatening injuries less than a flesh wound. On the other hand, however, he can control nervous tissue to cause great pain and even temporary paralysis. Other biokinetics have the ability to mutate themselves, creating monstrous bio-titans to cause unimaginable chaos. Ryu, however, has not learned this power, but hopes to develop it in the future. As for Nosokinesis, Ryu possesses the power to halt the growth of pathogenic microorganisms within the human body and kill them, effectively eliminating the disease. However, this works both ways. While he cannot create disease as such, he can accelerate the production of pathogens already existing inside the body, and mutate them to increase the disease's potency. As such, Ryu possesses both the powers to save a human from death, or the doom them.
Bio: Nishimura Ryuichi is the only son of a rich Japanese tycoon who made his money from endeavors into the tourist industry in Japan. His father, Nishimura Kenichi, held great love for his son, and saw that his personal fortune would see to Ryu's ever whim. His mother wanted to teach Ryu humility and morality, and their conflicting ideas often caused arguments between Ryu's mother and father. As a result of his father's poor parenting, Ryu lived the live of an incredibly spoiled child. His father insisted he be tutored privately, but Ryu went off to public school and found that he settled in surprisingly well.
Ryu came into his own in the classroom. He was a talented writer, mathematician and, most of all, scientist. He developed into an intelligent young man. However, he was regularly in fights with the other children. While he did have friends, Ryu's erratic nature caused a rift to form between him and the majority of his classmates, and with him so used to having everything he wanted, he struggled to cope with the challenge.
At 13, Ryu discovered his Biokinetic powers. With few friends to accompany him, Ryu went on his own to play in the woods. While exploring, Ryu fell from a tree and broke his left ankle. Panicking and crying, Ryu found a moment where he focused entirely on his ankle, and suddenly all of the pain stopped. He ran home to tell his father and mother. They sent him to his room, insisting he was in no trouble. From his room, Ryu could hear the shouting but couldn't make out the words.
Ryu's mother left the same week, the discovery that her son was a channel being too much to endure. His father attempted to help Ryu develop his powers, but their relationship was forever changed, as Ryu's fluctuating mood slowly converted his father's love into fear. Fear of his own son.
On his 18th birthday, Ryu's father told him that he had bought him an apartment in Tokyo. He said it was time for him to spread his wings and go and see the world while he was young. Ryu knew it was simply an attempt to be rid of him. Nevertheless, Ryu accepted, and has lived in Tokyo since.
In Tokyo, Ryu found that as his powers grew stronger, his mood swings became more frequent and more extreme. He found the desire to harm others, and to cause chaos. However, as of yet he has not committed any major offences, although he has left several people in critical condition in hospital.
